Lifetime Products Inc. is a privately owned company founded in 1986. Its main products are blow-molded polyethylene folding chairs and tables, picnic tables, home basketball equipment, sheds, coolers, kayaks and paddleboards, and lawn and garden items, along with OEM steel and plastic items from other companies.

Overview

Lifetime Products uses polyethylene blow molding and metal forming technology to create a variety of consumer and industrial products. Lifetime has a large single-point blow molding plastics facility in Clearfield, Utah, occupying , and employs over 2,200 people worldwide. The company produces the only folding chair to comply with the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer's Association (BIFMA), which defines durability standards testing of commercial-grade chairs. Lifetime is headquartered in the Freeport Center in Clearfield, Utah, and has vertically integrated manufacturing facilities in Clearfield, Xiamen, China, and Mascot, Tennessee. US distribution facilities are located in North Kansas City, Missouri, and Columbus, Ohio. International distribution facilities are in Monterrey, Mexico and Lille, France.

History
In 1972, Lifetime Product's founder, Barry Mower, made a sturdier basketball pole for his backyard using pipe, plywood, and a basketball rim. Seeing the potential in what he had constructed, he placed an ad in the local classifieds and made his first sale.

His business eventually became a sporting goods store, and in March 1986, became Lifetime Products, a name inspired by the goal of building durable and lasting products. Shortly after, the research and design staff created and patented the "Quick Adjust" basketball system, which allowed users to adjust residential basketball rims from 7.5 to 10 feet.

In its first three years, the company grew to 167 employees and occupied  of manufacturing, office, and warehouse space. New equipment, including an electrostatic powder coating operation and a robotic rim welding system, was installed to keep up with demand. A metal fabrication department was also formed to constantly update and improve presses and dies.

Utilizing its expertise in plastics and metals, Lifetime then developed a blow-molded folding picnic table in 1995, a folding banquet table in 1998, and a steel-reinforced blow-molded shed in 2005.

In May 2010, Lifetime acquired the assets of Dragonfly Innovation Corp., a producer of blow-molded kayaks, and kayak production was moved to Lifetime's facilities in Utah. In November 2011, Lifetime acquired Pennsylvania-based Emotion Kayaks, making Lifetime one of the largest kayak manufacturers in the world.

In August 2017, the company expanded US operations by opening a 700,000+ square foot east coast manufacturing and distribution facility in Mascot, TN just east of Knoxville, TN.This new facility will produce Lifetime’s line of water sports products including kayaks and paddleboards, as well as their outdoor Play System line of products. With this new location for manufacturing and distribution, Lifetime will be able to meet its customers’ increasing demand for products with shortened supply chains and faster shipping times.

Classic Motorsports is an American periodical devoted to classic cars, classic car restoration and vintage racing. It was established in 1986 and is published six times a year. The magazine's parent company, Motorsport Marketing Inc., based in Holly Hill, Florida, also publishes Grassroots Motorsports magazine.

Classic Motorsports focuses primarily on how enthusiasts of any means can own and enjoy classic automobiles. The magazine emphasizes that classic cars are meant to be driven rather than displayed or put in storage. Therefore, editorial often revolves around how to participate in vintage racing events, concours events and enthusiast gatherings as well as classic car rallies and tours. Each issue contains coverage of such events held throughout the United States.

The magazine also includes technical articles on how to maintain, restore and upgrade these cars. Buyers guides, car-and-owner profiles, historical features and driving impressions appear frequently. It is the largest publication of its kind in the United States and is the official publication of Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR).

Project cars
The editorial focuses on a wide variety of staff-owned classics, usually with a hands-on point of view. Current Classic Motorsports project cars include a 1964 Lotus Elan and a 1967 Austin Mini Cooper S.

Sanctioned events
Classic Motorsports also actively supports classic car clubs and events. The magazine is the title sponsor of the Classic Motorsports Mitty, a classic car event held annually at the Road Atlanta race track in Braselton, Georgia. Historic Sportscar Racing sanctions The Mitty's vintage racing, while sister publication Grassroots Motorsports hosts an event in the infield called Speedfest.

In March 2010, Classic Motorsports hosted its first Orange Blossom Tour. The event was billed as a back-roads classic car tour through Old Florida. Between its starting point at the Amelia Island Concours and its 12 Hours of Sebring destination, the drive featured several stops. These included the Brumos Porsche Collection, an eco-tour on the Dora Canal, and the Castillo de San Marcos fort. The tour raised nearly $2000 for the Amelia Island Foundation to benefit Hospice.

Since then, the Orange Blossom Tour has become an annual event. The tour is limited to 25 cars each year in order to keep it intimate. The 2016 Orange Blossom Tour will begin and end in Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island. Every route is different, but as usual the tour highlights some of northern Florida's most scenic routes and classic dining experiences.

"Raise the Roof" is the lead single from Luke's sixth studio album, Changin' the Game. The song was produced and written by Luke himself and Darren "DJ Spin" Rudnick. The song sampled the "Theme from King Kong" for which legendary composer John Barry also received writing credits.

Upon its release in early 1998, "Raise the Roof" became Luke's biggest hit as a solo artist and his only one to reach the top 40, peaking at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100. The uptempo song featured rap group No Good But So Good and helped popularize the dance of the same name. By the summer of 1998, the single achieved gold status, reaching the feat on June 24, 1998 for sales of 500,000 copies, becoming Luke's only certified release as a solo artist. "Raise the Roof" also reached No. 90 on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1998 as one of the year's most popular singles.

The song's music video (directed by Dave Meyers) featured Luke and No Good But So Good performing the song in a night club and featured cameos from Stuart Scott, A.J. Johnson, Tyson Beckford, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Ice Cube, WC and Mack 10.

The BMW 503 is a two-door 2+2 gran turismo in both Coupé and Cabriolet form  manufactured by German automaker BMW from 1956 until 1959.  The company developed the 503 alongside the 507 roadster in an attempt to sell a significant number of luxury cars in the United States. The 503 and 507 cost about twice their projected price and did not recover their costs. During production from May 1956 to March 1959, 413 units of the 503 were built, 139 of which were Cabriolets. Even though it was a prestige model it resulted in heavy losses for BMW.

Concept and design
Hanns Grewenig, Deutsche Bank’s Nominee and Commercial Director of BMW, repeatedly requested the development of a sports car based on their 501 and 502 luxury cars, and which could take advantage of their superb new 3.2 V8 all alloy engine. He vetoed a proposal by Fritz Feidler (Chief Engineer)to develop a small car called the 331 which looked a little like a Fiat Topolino on the basis that what BMW needed was a new luxury car more in keeping with its upmarket image. He also felt that BMW did not have the capacity then to manufacture in quantity, but could make a smaller number of luxury cars with a higher profit margin per unit.
In early 1954, influenced by the public reaction to the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL and 220 S Coupé/Cabriolet show cars in New York in February 1954, the management of BMW approved the project.

The initial designs for the 503 were the work of Kurt Bredschneider, head of the body department, and he produced the preliminary drawings which showed the bodywork that went through to the final design pretty much unchanged. Max Hoffman, an influential automobile importer in the United States, saw early design sketches by BMW's Ernst Loof for the subsequent 507 and suggested to industrial designer Albrecht von Goertz that he should submit design proposals to BMW for both cars.  Based on these proposals, BMW contracted Goertz to consider the existing design of the 503 and to design the 507 in November 1954. Bredschneider in the meanwhile was suffering from problems caused by severe stress and left the Company. His design however survived as Goertz made only minor amendments to it. Ernst Loof was upset that his design for the 507 was sidelined. He died from a brain tumour in 1956.

The 503 was noted for having a cleaner and more modern design than the "Baroque Angel" 501-based sedans. The cabriolet version of the 503 was the first European convertible with an electro hydraulic hood and windows. Only 3 RHD cabriolets were hand made for the British market.

Engineering and development
Tasked with designing rolling chassis for two cars while using as much as possible from the existing 502, engineer Fritz Fiedler designed two versions of a new ladder frame, one with the same wheelbase as the 502, and one with a shortened wheelbase. The long-wheelbase version was used in the 503. Both cars used the steering system and a variant of the front suspension system from the 502; the 503 also used the 502's rear suspension. As originally designed, the 503 used the 502's remote gearbox placement and column change.  Both cars used the braking system developed for the 502, using drum brakes with vacuum assist. From 1957 all 503s were fitted with discs on the front as a result of recommendations from John Surtees who had bought a 507.  Later he also bought a 503. All 503s were configured for left hand drive except for 3 Coupés, and 3 Cabriolets custom built for individual UK buyers.

The massive perimeter chassis (so designed to keep driver and passengers safe in a collision) was constructed of sheet steel, as was the bulkhead, inner wings and some body bracing.  The bodywork, bonnet, doors and bootlid were made of aluminium/magnesium alloy, the original aluminium having found to be too soft on the prototypes. The dashboard assembly was another hefty cast aluminium structure, with the cast glove box lid weighing as much as an ordinary dashboard on lesser cars. The side vents on the dashboard were discontinued in February 1957, the resulting hole being covered by a blanking plate being welded in which occasionally caused corrosion problems around the weld later on.   It was intended that Baur should manufacture the bodies, and indeed they produced a prototype, but in the end they were hand built in house. Despite some claims by owners and auction houses, no 503 bodies were either designed or built by Bertone.

The Mark 2 version from September 1957 resulted in few outward changes. The chrome trim strip along the side remained straight at the rear, rather than kicking up at an angle.  The ashtray moved from beneath the dash to adjacent to the speaker grill above it.  It should also be noted that each handbuilt car was different with customers often specifying their own requirements.

Both cars used the 3.2 version of the  V8 engine designed by chief engineer Alfred Böning and  developed for the 502, but with two carburettors and with an improved lubrication system using a chain-driven oil pump. The 503's V8 had a compression ratio of 7.5:1 and yielded  at 4800 rpm.   Some UK 503s were delivered tuned to 507 specification, either by BMW or, before delivery,  by AFN Ltd, the BMW  Concessionaires for the UK,  The engines of these developed 150 bhp+.

The 503 had sixteen inch wheels and standard final drive ratio of 3.90:1, A final drive ratio of 3.42:1 was optional. Acceleration of the 503 in standard tune from standstill to 100 km/h (62 mph) has been estimated at 11–13 seconds since there are no reliable contemporary figures available; the top speed of the 503 is about . Some cars were ordered with uprated engines with increased performance from standard.

Also for the Mark 2 from September 1957, the 503's drivetrain was revised. The gearbox was bolted to the engine and the gear lever was moved from the steering column to the floor.  All RHD cars had floor changes.

Reception
Hoffman had wanted BMW's sports and GT cars to be positioned between Triumph's sports cars and the Mercedes-Benz 300SL, at a selling price close to US$5,000 ($ in  dollars ). He told BMW he would order thousands of their sports cars at a purchase price of DM12,000. BMW, however, saw themselves as catering to the wealthy and aristocratic, and were not interested in cut price sports cars.  They made the 503 to show that they could produce a car which could rival the best that their competitors could produce in the fields of brilliance of design, quality of engineering and using advanced materials and technology. And they succeeded.   Hanns Grewenig said at the time that BMW Cars should be the calling card of Germany.

After its introduction at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1955, the 503 began production in May 1956 with a selling price of DM29,500, while the 507 roadster sold for DM26,500 when it began production seven months later, twice the price that Hoffman had hoped for.

Battista "Pinin" Farina, felt the 503 was superior in design to the 507, However, while neither the 503 nor the 507 sold well enough to earn a profit, the larger, more luxurious, more elegant, and more expensive 503 sold 412 units to the 507 roadster's 253. The problem with the 507 Roadster was that the performance did not match its looks or the price in the US market that was used to big V8 cars.  Another difficulty for both cars was that Hoffman took fright at the very high price and cancelled his arrangement with BMW. Thus BMW had no dealership or servicing arrangements in the US which potential purchasers were wary about.  Also there was still a marked reluctance of buyers from allied countries to buy cars from manufacturers who had comparatively recently been making weapons of war for Germany.  These difficulties weren't helped by the teething problems of the hotted up V8 which had a tendency to overheat in city traffic, and run cool in winter.  The Zenith carburettors also tended to overflow their float chambers with the potential of fire causing BMW to mount the carburettors on an alloy tray with a run off pipe to divert any excess fuel away from the exhausts.  All these matters were taken care of during production.

Inexplicably BMW did very little to promote the 503 in America bearing in mind the extraordinary qualities of the car. Most  of their efforts went on the 507 which sold in tiny numbers in the US.

The 503 did better amongst the upper levels of society in Europe, (particularly Germany and Switzerland) with many going to film stars (Kurt Jurgens and others) Heads of State (e.g. Tito) and the nobility (e.g. Count Faber-Castell) and it won numerous gold medals in International shows at the time. Production ended in March 1959.

Legacy
The 503 was BMW's first postwar sports coupe. It was replaced by the Bertone-bodied BMW 3200 CS in 1962.

A 1956 BMW 503 Cabriolet with Portuguese plates was driven by the George C. Scott character in the 1971 movie The Last Run.

A 1957 BMW 503 Coupé appears in the BBC drama Father Brown, episode 2, series 4, The Brewer's Daughter, first broadcast January 2016. That car was right hand drive.

John Surtees CBE, the former Motorcycle and F1 World Champion bought a 1957 RHD 503 Cabriolet in 1992, which he restored and owned up until his death in 2017. It was one of only two remaining of the three built.

CSS Neuse ( ) was a steam-powered ironclad ram of the Confederate States Navy that served in the latter part the American Civil War and was eventually scuttled in the Neuse River to avoid capture by rapidly advancing Union Army forces. In the early 1960s, she produced approximately 15,000 artifacts from her raised lower hull, the largest number ever found on a recovered Confederate vessel. The remains of her lower hull and a selection of her artifacts are on exhibit in Kinston, North Carolina at the CSS Museum, which belongs to the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. The ironclad is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Construction
A contract for the construction of Neuse was signed on 17 October 1862 between the shipbuilding company of Thomas Howard and Elijah Ellis and the Confederate Navy. Work began in October of that year on the bank across the Neuse River (her namesake) from the small village of Whitehall, North Carolina (present day Seven Springs). The gunboat's design was virtually identical to her sister ironclad , but Neuse differed from Albemarle by having four additional gun ports added (for a total of ten) to her eight-sided armored casemate. The hull was  long by  wide, and she was constructed mostly of locally abundant pine, with some  of oak used as sturdy backing for her 4-inch-thick wrought iron armor. Many delays in construction were incurred by a lack of available materials, mostly the iron plate for her armored casemate and deck; her deck armor was finally left off so the ironclad could be completed and put in service. Due to continuing iron plate shortages, Neuse became the first of several Southern ironclads built with unarmored decks. This situation was compounded by the Confederate Army exercising priority over the Navy in the use of the South's inadequate railroad system for transporting vital war material.

Ordnance and projectiles
Neuse was equipped with two  Brooke rifled cannon (similar to a Parrott rifle); each double-banded cannon weighed more than  with its pivot carriage and other attached hardware. Both cannons were positioned along the ironclad's center-line in the armored casemate, one forward, the other aft. The field of fire for both pivot rifles was 180-degrees, from port to starboard: Each cannon could fire from one of five gun port positions or could deliver a two-cannon broadside. Neuses projectiles consisted of explosive shells, anti-personnel canister shot, grape shot, and blunt-nosed, solid wrought iron "bolts" for use against Union armored ships; many examples of all four types were recovered from her raised wreck.

Service and post-war history
Launched in November 1863 while still needing fitting out, Neuse finally got up steam in April 1864 for duty on the inland waters of North Carolina as part of the force under Commander R. F. Pinkney, CSN. Shortly thereafter, the ironclad grounded off Kinston due to her mostly inexperienced crew, which had been conscripted from the Confederate Army; she remained fast in the mud for almost a month until finally being refloated. After that, due to a lack of available Confederate Army shore support, she never left the river area around Kinston, serving instead as a floating ironclad fortification. In March 1865, with Kinston under siege by Union forces, gunpowder trails were laid down which led to a cache of explosives placed in her bow; the crew then lit fires astern and amidships, and she was destroyed a short time later by fire, then a bow explosion. Neuse burned to just below her waterline and then sank into the river mud preventing capture by the rapidly advancing Union Army forces, commanded by Major General John M. Schofield. At some point following the war, her sunken hulk, lying in shallow river water and mud, was salvaged of its valuable metals: cannon, carriages and their fittings, anchors, iron ram, casemate armor, both propellers and their shafts, and her steam power plant. Whatever bits and pieces remained, including her projectiles, lay undisturbed in and around the wreck until Neuse was raised nearly a century later.

Ironclad recovery
After nearly a century, the remaining lower hull of the ironclad was discovered and then raised in 1963; approximately 15,000 shipboard artifacts were recovered and carefully cataloged. Neuses hull was then temporarily installed in the Governor Caswell Memorial, beside the river, in Kinston. Since 2013, Neuse and her artifacts have been on display in a new, climate-controlled building in downtown Kinston.

There are currently only four recovered Civil War era ironclad wrecks, CSS Neuse,  (also called CSS Jackson in some texts), , and ; Cairo remains the only recovered ironclad wreck left partially exposed outdoors under cover in the sometimes brutal southern climate. Other Union and Confederate ironclad wreck sites are known but remain untouched. The successful Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley, which sank the Union blockading sloop-of-war , was recovered and is undergoing extensive restoration and long term conservation at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center in North Charleston, South Carolina.

Neuse II replica

A replica of the CSS Neuse, better known as CSS Neuse II, was the brainchild of Kinston activist and businessman Ted Sampley and built by Alton Stapleford. Neuse II is on grounds display at a separate site in Kinston and contains a complete fitted-out interior that shows all shipboard details; she was constructed by volunteers from 2002 to 2009. Neuse is the only Confederate ironclad that has a historic, full-size replica on display. Since April 2002 Neuses sister ironclad, CSS Albemarle has had a  scale replica,  long, at anchor near the Port O' Plymouth Museum in Plymouth, North Carolina. This ironclad replica is self-powered and capable of sailing on the river.

Turret Peak is a high peak of the Needle Mountains, a subrange of the San Juan Mountains in the southwestern part of the US State of Colorado. It rises on the east side of the Animas River,  southeast of Pigeon Peak. It is located in the Weminuche Wilderness, part of the San Juan National Forest.

Turret Peak is the 89th highest independent peak in Colorado.

Climate
According to the Köppen climate classification system, the mountain is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers. Due to its altitude, it receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter, and as thunderstorms in summer, with a dry period in late spring.

Sir Richard Knightley (1533 – 1 September 1615) of Fawsley Hall in Northamptonshire was an English Member of Parliament (MP) and leading patron of the Puritans during the reign of Elizabeth I. The Knightleys were one of the leading families of Northamptonshire.

Biography
Knightley was the eldest son of Sir Valentine Knightley of Fawsley and his wife Anne (née Ferrers). He succeeded his father in 1566 and was knighted in 1565.

He was MP for Northampton in the Parliaments of 1584 and 1586, and for Northamptonshire in those of 1589 and 1598. He served as High Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1568–1569 and 1581–1582. In 1587, he was commanded by Queen Elizabeth to be present at the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots (which took place in Northamptonshire).

He was a conspicuous member of the Puritan faction in Parliament, and in November 1588 was involved in the printing of the Marprelate tracts. In the late spring of 1588, Elizabeth Hussey allowed the printer Robert Waldegrave and the Puritan preacher and pamphleteer John Penry to set up a secret press at her country home at East Molesey, Surrey, across the Thames from Hampton Court Palace. The first tract to be printed there was a work by John Udall, the Demonstration of Discipline.

In late 1588 and early 1589, Waldegrave embarked on an even more controversial enterprise, printing the first four tracts written against the ecclesiastical authorities by an unknown satirist using the pseudonym Martin Marprelate. The first of the Marprelate tracts, Martin's Epistle was printed on the secret press in October 1588.

It enjoyed immense popularity, and the ecclesiastical authorities instigated a hue and cry after Martin. In November the press was moved from East Molesey to Sir Richard Knightley's house at Fawsley, where Martin's second tract, The Epitome, was printed. Knightley may even have met the expense of the printing.

Shortly thereafter, the secret press was moved to the Whitefriars, Coventry, the home of Knightley's great-nephew, John Hales, where Certaine Minerall and Metaphysicall Schoolpoints and Hay Any Worke for Cooper were printed, the former in early January and the latter in late March 1589. Waldegrave then refused to print any further tracts, citing the Puritan ministers' disapproval of Martin Marprelate's course of action. The secret press was then moved to Wolston Priory in Warwickshire, the home of Roger Wigston.
The secret press was captured in 1589, and Knightley was arrested, although subsequently released. In February 1589, he was fined £2,000 by the Court of Star Chamber, and dismissed from the lieutenancy of the county and the magistracy. In 1605, he was again fined, this time the sum of £10,000.

He was MP for Orford, Suffolk in 1601. He died on 1 September 1615 in Norton, Northamptonshire.

Marriages and children
He married twice:
Firstly to Mary Fermor, a daughter of Richard Fermor of Easton Neston, by whom he had three sons and three daughters.
Secondly to Lady Elizabeth Seymour (d.1602), a daughter of Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, by whom he had seven sons and seven daughters. Her monument with effigy survives in All Saints Church, Norton, Northamptonshire. His son and heir, Valentine, and a grandson, Richard, were also Members of Parliament.

Edward Tate (born 1901 in South Shields, England) was an English football full-back who began his career in Canada and finished it in the American Soccer League.

Tate, a native of England, was described as a "big, burly, right fullback" that was a "colorful, wholehearted" player. He played with the England national team at the schoolboy level. At some point, he moved to Canada where he began his professional career in 1921 with New Waterford in Nova Scotia, Canada. He then moved to Canadian Explosives in 1922. That year, he left Canada and signed with the Fall River F.C. of the American Soccer League. He spent four seasons in Fall River, winning the 1924 National Challenge Cup with them. He then began the 1926–27 season in Fall River before moving to J&P Coats ten games into the season. However, he was back in Fall River for the 1927–28 season when J&P Coats traded him on 19 August 1927 for Findlay Kerr. For the next three seasons, Tate bounced through several teams. While he began the 1927–28 season in Fall River, he jumped to New Bedford Whalers at the end of the season. He then returned to J&P Coats for the start of the 1928–1929 season only to finish it with Philadelphia Field Club. He then played the fall 1929 and began the 1929–30 season with the 'Marksmen', but finished it with the Pawtucket Rangers. He finally found a home in Pawtucket and remained with the Rangers until his retirement when he became the team's coach for two seasons.

"Canção do Mar" (in English: "Song of the Sea") is a song in the fado tradition by Portuguese singer Amália Rodrigues initially recorded with the lyrics "Solidão" (in English: "Solitude") for the soundtrack of the film "Les amants du Tage" also known by the English title The Lovers of Lisbon, and released as a single in 1954 by Columbia Records. The song was written by Frederico de Brito and Ferrer Trindade.

"Canção do Mar" follows in the history of fado, closely tied to the port district of Lisbon with lyrics incorporating poetry often related to the sea. On 27 November 2011, fado was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists.

Tristão da Silva released a version in 1961, using the original title "Canção do Mar".

Dulce Pontes version
The song was covered by Portuguese singer Dulce Pontes. Pontes´s version was featured in the 1996 movie Primal Fear, starring Richard Gere and Edward Norton; it was also used as the title music in TV series Southland. In Brazil, the same version was the theme of epic novela adaption of As Pupilas do Senhor Reitor by SBT in 1995.

Pontes first learned that her recording of "Canção do Mar" was in the film Primal Fear while in the theater, unexpectedly hearing her voice singing the song as part of the soundtrack. She was quoted in Billboard saying "At first I couldn't believe it. I thought I was dreaming. Later my record company told me the whole story, and now all I want is to say thanks to my American friends, especially Mr. Hoblit, for being so kind to me."

Cover versions and other language versions
There are many language versions of "Canção do Mar" including:
Portuguese: "Canção do Mar" by Valentina Félix
Portuguese: "Solidão" on Je Dis Oui! (2016) by Pink Martini
Portuguese: "Canção do Mar" by Misia
Portuguese: "Meu Brasil, Meu Portugal" by Julio Iglesias
Spanish: "Oye Mar" by Chayanne
Spanish: A second version by Chenoa
French: "Elle, tu l'aimes..." by Hélène Ségara
German: "Das Ja zum Leben" by Milva
Greek: "Ftes esi" by Mando
Persian: "Bargard Be Man" by Shani Rigsbee
English: "Harem" by Sarah Brightman.

"Harem"

"Harem" is a song by classical crossover artist Sarah Brightman, released on November 4, 2003 based on the music of "Canção do Mar". It was the first single taken from her 2003 album of the same name. "Harem" ranked number 1 on the Billboard dance/club charts.

In China Daily Brightman was quoted as saying "I've loved this song for ages," she said. "In our version, I wanted it to have a contemporary, Arabian Nights feel - love, the desert, passion and fire, but also with a dance feeling."

Critical reception
In a review of Brightman's "Harem" album and "Harem World Tour", Larry Womack for the Oroville Mercury-Register declared "she fuses the modern with the classical into a single piece" and "truly shines" clarifying "The title song (and opening number), augments de Brito and Trindade's melody 'Cancao do Mar' with a dance arrangement by Frank Peterson, as well as English lyrics by Brightman and Roxanne Seeman" and calling it "the artist's most inspired show opening to date. Karl Low for The Voice Magazine opined "A fan of dance or world music will appreciate this track as it skillfully blends both the middle-eastern sounds and modern dance, with Sarah's operatic vocals providing a great counterpoint." Steve Morse for the Boston Globe wrote:  "Bedecked in a regal belly dancing costume with a thin, billowing fabric around her shoulders, Brightman started her two-set show with the title track "Harem"... backed by a 20-piece orchestra..."

The 1984 UEFA Cup Final was an association football tie played on 9 May and 23 May 1984 to determine the champion of the 1983–84 UEFA Cup. The two-legged final was contested between Anderlecht of Belgium, who were defending champions, and Tottenham Hotspur of England. Tottenham won 4–3 on penalty kicks after the tie finished 2–2 on aggregate.

To date, this remains the most recent European honour won by Tottenham Hotspur. It would be another 35 years until Spurs reached another major European final, when they lost the Champions League Final in 2019 to Liverpool.

In 1997, it emerged that Anderlecht's passage to the final had involved the club's chairman paying a bribe totalling £27,000 to the referee for the semi-final against Nottingham Forest. A dubious penalty was awarded to Anderlecht, whilst a Forest goal was disallowed.

A trailer bus is a trailer vehicle designed specifically for the transportation of passengers (a bus). Trailer buses typically comprise one of two forms:
a semi-trailer pulled by a tractor unit (in the same way as a semi-trailer truck). The tractor unit may either be a purpose-built unit designed specifically for operation with the trailer bus, or a regular conventional tractor unit.
a full trailer pulled by a conventional bus, typically to provide extra capacity. Also referred to as a 'bus trailer'.

Although semi-trailer buses are now typically obsolete and have been retired, full trailer buses attached to conventional buses remain in use in limited applications around the world, including as tourist vehicles.

History
An early trailer bus was designed in Amsterdam in the 1920s as bus designs got longer. As a solution to possible grounding hazards on humped bridges, three prototypes were built in 1924, but proved to be problematic, and later converted to rigid bodies in 1927.

During World War II and in the immediate post-war years, trailer buses were turned to as a simple and economical way of providing bus transport to replace worn out conventional bus fleets. The semi-trailers were basic and uncomfortable, but each could carry more passengers than an ordinary single-decker bus, and nearly as many as a double-decker bus. In India BEST of Mumbai and BMTC of Bangalore had double-decker trailer buses in its fleet during the 1970s and 1980s.

In Australia, 123 semi-trailer type buses were built from 1939. Large purchasers included Parramatta-Ryde Bus Service and Rover Coaches. A 1947 semi-trailer coupled with an American-built 1943 White M3A1 tractor is preserved at the Sydney Bus Museum in Sydney. The Sydney exhibit was the last trailer bus used in NSW, withdrawn in 1977.

Trailer buses were also used in Perth, Western Australia by several private bus companies from 1943 onwards, including Metro Buses (formerly Metropolitan Omnibus), Pioneer Omnibus and Scarborough Bus Services. The units were bodied by various different companies, including Boltons, Campbell & Mannix and Motor Body Builders, a subsidiary of Scarborough Bus Services. From 1958 onwards, many trailer buses passed to the state-owned Metropolitan Transport Trust as the private operators were bought by the Western Australian Government. A number were also purchased by the Western Australian Government Railways from 1945 to 1948, with the trailer bodies built by Fowler Constructions and Campbell & Mannix.

In 1948, ten British-built trailer buses saw service as a staff canteens for London Transport (in country green livery) with one passing to the Cobham Bus Museum in 1972.

A large order for 1,175 buses from the Dutch Railways for buses from Crossley included an order for 250 trailer buses, each to carry 52 seated and 28 standing passengers.  The tractor units were delivered as short Crossley DD42s, and these were matched in the Netherlands with DAF built trailer chassis fitted with bus bodies.

From 1967 to 1968 the Indian city of Mumbai had double decker trailer buses with seating capacity of 100 passengers, run by Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport company. The city of Kolkata and Bengaluru also had such buses.

In the late 1980s, a Mexican-built trailer bus was in test service in the Los Angeles / Orange County area of California. In the 1990s, Orange County Transportation Authority used it on two express routes. The trailer buses were known as Superbuses.

Custom motor/trailer units manufactured by Orion Bus Industries were used from 1985 to 2012 on the Niagara Parks Commission People Mover route in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

In Greece trailer buses are still, often used for tours, usually in small villages. Trailer Buses are also used in some kids' attractions.

Obsolescence
As early as the mid-1940s, trailer buses began to quickly fall out of favour for a variety of factors:

The length of trailer buses made them difficult to negotiate sharp turns at narrow street corners;
Each trailer bus normally required a two-person crew, with the driver in the tractor and the conductor in the semi-trailer;
The perceived danger of a passenger-laden semi-trailer dislodging from its tractor while under way has led to many jurisdictions in the United States, Canada and Australia restricting or prohibiting trailer buses.

Trailer buses saw service until at least 1984 in South Africa, possibly due to the rugged terrain in its remote areas, and the availability of specialist bus builders as opposed to truck dealers and basic body builders.

Trailer buses are still in service in Cuba, where they were introduced under the nickname of "camellos" ("camels", from the twin-humped shape of the trailers) during the Special Period after the fall of the Soviet Union.  , the trailer buses were being gradually retired from service in Havana, replaced by Chinese-made buses.

Nonetheless, the Munich transit authority ordered a batch of trailer buses from Solaris with deliveries starting in 2013. The buses were intended for service on the city's busiest routes. The advantages of such buses were the ability to attach or detach the trailer depending on demand, spaciousness and flexibility.

Tayte Pears (born 24 March 1990) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played as a tall defender for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). In his youth, Pears played as a forward, before shifting to the backline at the age of 16, where he spent his entire AFL career.

AFL career
Pears was drafted by  with pick 23 in the 2007 national draft and debuted in 2008. He played the role of a key position defender in his second season, taking on big dominant forwards such as Daniel Bradshaw, Jarryd Roughead and Justin Koschitzke. After playing on Brendan Fevola in round 13, 2009, he was the round nominee for the Rising Star.

Off-season surgery on a foot fracture that set back his return to senior football saw Pears’ bad run with injury continue in 2011. He played his first game of the year against  in round 13, but saw his season further stifled with injury after breaking his lower leg and then straining his hamstring in the elimination final.

Injury continued to force him to sit on the sidelines in the years after, managing 23 games in the next four seasons. Then on 12 January 2016 Pears was named as one of 34 past and present Essendon players found guilty over their use of illegal supplements during the 2012 AFL season. As a result, Pears was suspended for two years, which, as a result of backdating, saw him suspended between January and November 2016, which meant he missed the entire 2016 AFL season. He did not return to the AFL after his suspension, announcing his retirement from the league on 8 September 2016 to pursue a career in firefighting.

Abdul Jabar (born 1975) was a captive who survived the Qala-i-Jangi prison riot.

An article published in the New York Times described Abdul Jabar as a 26-year-old citizen of Uzbekistan, from Tashkent.

Abdul Jabar told the New York Times that he had been in Afghanistan's north for approximately a year prior to al Qaeda's attacks on America on September 11, 2001.  He said he had been working in Kabul working with the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan—part of a group of 150 Uzbeks.

Jabar added that the uprising was a reaction to the Afghan Northern Alliance not honoring assurances it had made that foreigners who surrendered their weapons without resistance would be set free.  He said the leader of his group, Juma Namangani, had led the uprising:

The Guardian reported that Namangani had been killed in combat prior to the group's surrender.

Jabar estimated that there had been approximately 400 prisoners prior to the uprising.  Only 85 captives survived.
Jabar described hiding from Northern Alliance bombardment in ditches and trenches, and then crawling from the prison's courtyard to the basement.  Authorities tried bombarding the building with cannon fire, with rocket fire.  On November 29, 2001, authorities tried flooding the basement with burning fuel.  He told the New York Times:

On December 1, 2001, Northern Alliance Commander Din Muhammad diverted irrigation canals to flood the basement:

The New York Times reported that survivors of the riot were loaded into industrial shipping containers, in order to be transported to a more secure facility.

It also stated that Abdul Jabar feared for his life if he were repatriated to Uzbekistan:

The Guardian reported that Jabar denounced al Qaeda's attacks on 9-11, and said the fighters had no grudge with the USA:

He was interrogated by Luke Harding, whom he told that "It was our commander who began the fighting", presumed to be a reference to Tahir Uldosh, who was believed to  be killed in the uprising.

There is no record that Abdul Jabar was sent to the Guantanamo Bay detention camps, in Cuba.

Peerla is a 1998 studio album by Italian rock band Elio e le Storie Tese, consisting of previously unreleased tracks, like the various opening themes for Italian television program , and studio outtakes. It was re-released in a digital version in 2000, with the additional track "Tenia".

In Milanese dialect,  is a mild insult meaning 'idiot', while  is the Italian for 'pearl', which features on the album sleeve; the double entendre focuses on the English pronunciation of  as opposed to the Italian .

Songs
 "Introducing prof. Magneto" is a short dialogue starring Elio and guest "vocalist" Luca Mangoni, referencing X-Men villain Magneto but actually about magnets.
"La donna nuda" (English: "The naked woman") is a parody/rewrite of "I Want a New Drug" by Huey Lewis and the News, with a new lyric about a naked woman who seduces passengers on a bus. The parodic remake, which, like all other covers by the band, was only performed live because Lewis never authorized it (and, indeed, the band never asked for any authorization), includes several references to "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker Jr., already present in Lewis's original.
"La cinica lotteria dei rigori" (English "The cynical lottery of penalty shootouts") – a typical expression of Italian sport journalists – was the closing credits theme for the 1995–1996 season of Mai dire Gol. It is about the elimination of Italy national football team from the final game in the 1994 FIFA World Cup after the penalty shootouts. The first part of the song features a football-themed parody of "Il testamento del Capitano" (English: "The captain's testament"), a traditional Alpini choral chant from World War I, quoting the three footballers who missed their penalties as fallen heroes and comparing the team's football field defeat to an utter defeat in war. The second part, completely different, is a 1930s pastiche sung by the band in close harmony in the style of The Andrews Sisters, but still with parodied lyrics from "Il testamento del Capitano" and other Alpini songs, and it ends with the title line, shouted out by guest "vocalist" Luca Mangoni.
"Help me" is a live cover of a song by Dik Dik about an astronaut named McKenzie, who gets lost while travelling to Jupiter and fails to communicate with Earth, except for some faint cries of "Help me" followed by long silences. The otherwise serious, dramatic song is turned into comedy when the astronaut, played by Mangoni, responds with profanities to the sung chorus. In the last four lines, McKenzie's ship explodes and his wife tells his young son not to miss him, as he was not his real father, since she is a whore. These last lines are sung on a similar melody to Stefano Rosso's 1977 song "Una storia disonesta".
"Nessuno allo stadio" (English: "Nobody at the stadium"), was the opening theme from 1994 Mai dire Mondiali – a special edition of Mai dire Gol dedicated to the 1994 World Cup – and it was originally released on a single. It is about the World Cup itself and the Americans' complete lack of interest in it. The lyrics mention Lorena Bobbitt's husband as someone who, for obvious reasons, cannot have even the least bit of interest in soccer, and Wilfred Agbonavbare, the goalkeeper from the Nigerian national team, as someone who may actually become famous as a result of the small amount of relevance given to the event. The song includes a musical and lyrical quote from Renato Carosone's 1956 USA-mocking satirical song "Tu Vuò Fà L'Americano" and two lines sampled from Aleandro Baldi's 1994 song "Passerà", who won the 1994 Sanremo Music Festival. Keyboard player Sergio Conforti (a.k.a. Rocco Tanica), who inserted the sample, named it as his favorite element in the song, and slightly manipulated it in order to obtain a similar effect to Annie Lennox's delayed voice singing "watch me walking / walking out the door-door-door-door-door..." toward the end of "Would I Lie to You?" by Eurythmics.
"In te" (English: "Within you") focuses on abortion. It is a live recording of a cover of Nek's same-titled debut single from the same year. The song itself is absolutely identical in music, lyrics and arrangement to the original version. The comedic element is in the actual performance: the singer is Mangoni, who deliberately sings a full tone higher than the original version in order to sound even more strained than Nek.
"Urna" is a live recording of the same-titled song from İtalyan, rum casusu çikti in a softer arrangement promoted by bassist Nicola Fasani (a.k.a. Faso). He had repeatedly vented his discontent with Elio's heavy metal arrangement on the previously released studio version.
"Balla coi barlafüs" (English: "Dance with the morons"), the opening theme from the 1996–1997 season of Mai dire Gol, is a cover of Richard O'Brien's "Time Warp" from The Rocky Horror Show, with completely rewritten, satirical lyrics about Umberto Bossi and his failed attempt, in early 1996, to rally up a human chain from Polesine to Monviso in order to symbolically block the course of the river Po. The video is faithful to the corresponding scene in the 1975 film adaption of O'Brien's musical, here starring Elio as Riff Raff, Marina Massironi as Magenta and Giacomo Poretti of Aldo, Giovanni e Giacomo as the Criminologist/Narrator; the video also featured Daniele Luttazzi and Sabrina Ferilli as Brad and Janet and the rest of the cast from Mai dire Gol in various roles from the film.
"Agnello medley" is identical to the same-titled track on The Los Sri Lanka Parakramabahu Brothers Featuring Elio e le Storie Tese. It is a medley of four Christmas songs (in order: "White Christmas", "Silent Night", "Tu scendi dalle stelle" and "Jingle Bells"), sung by Elio over an improvised and almost completely off-beat drum solo by drummer Christian Meyer, without any other instrumentation. Upon its original release, the medley was deemed "horrific" by fans.
"Il concetto di banana", the opening theme from the 1995–1996 season of Mai dire Gol, is the original recording of "Lo stato A, lo stato B" from İtalyan, rum casusu çikti. It is a sarcastic comparison of good footballers ("champions") and bad ones ("bananas"), stating that the latter ones are bound to cause their teams' demise. The original opening theme ended with a sample of "St. Tropez twist" by Peppino di Capri, which was omitted from the CD version for copyright reasons.
"Christmas with the Yours" is the same-titled song on the band's 1995 charity single.
"Giocatore mondiale" (English: "World Cup footballer") is identical to the same-named song on The Los Sri Lanka Parakramabahu Brothers Featuring Elio e le Storie Tese. It is a satirical song about Italians' passion for football that cause them to forget all of the nation's problems (workplace accidents, homicides, architectural barriers, etc.). Three lines in the song are performed by wheelchair-bound singer-songwriter Pierangelo Bertoli as a parody of his own involvement in a public service announcement about architectural barriers. The song includes the first four bars of "La Cucaracha" (played by Tanica as soon as the lyrics mention Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, here satirically referred to as "Luca di Montezuma"). The recording dates from 1989 and it was originally produced as the opening theme for Gialappa's Band's very first comedy show, on radio, titled Quasi Gol!.
"Sabbiature" [literally "sandblasting", but here intended as insabbiature - "cover-ups"] is the first of two protest songs by the band on Peerla. "Sabbiature" is an incomplete live recording made during the band's set at the 1991 edition of Concerto del Primo Maggio [First of May Concert], a one-day music event organized by Italy's leading trade union CGIL. In its early editions, the Concert was a legitimate music festival event featuring short sets by very prominent Italian and international rock acts (Iron Maiden performed in its very first edition, in 1990); over the following years, it gradually turned into a showcase for exclusively Italian independent and politically committed acts, most of which had little or no relevance in Italy's musical panorama and were gaining short bursts of fame by, indeed, participating in the event. (This trend was later mocked by Elio e le Storie Tese in their 2013 song "Complesso del Primo Maggio", from L'album biango). In 1991, not-yet-star Elio and his band appeared in the event and ended their set with "Sabbiature", a completely improvised performance over an extremely simple two-chord backing track, essentially consisting of Elio delivering a very long list of wrongdoings and misgivings by politicians and other prominent figures at the time, most of which were either considered unimportant or totally overlooked by governmental bodies. RAI, the official broadcaster of the event, tried to censor the band by physically unplugging their onstage amplification and interrupting the performance with a cut to an outro by journalist Vincenzo Mollica, whose voice is featured on Peerla as cut-up samples. According to fans' recollections, Elio went on with an emergency microphone and no instrumentation for about one minute longer than the recording on Peerla, before leaving the stage as the audience was starting to boo him.
"Ameri" and the following track, "Sunset Boulevard", are taken from the band's 1994 single "Nessuno allo stadio", released for that year's edition (set in the U.S.A.) of FIFA World Cup and named after track 5 on Peerla, also the main track on the single. "Ameri" is a parody/free rewrite of Toto Cutugno's 1990 song "Gli amori", which earned him the fourth of six second-place classifications in Sanremo Music Festival. Elio's parody lyrics target popular sport journalist and broadcaster Enrico Ameri, as well as Claudia Mori and Dori Ghezzi, claiming that the latter's profitable music career with Wess was cut short by Italy's racist attitude toward her black musical partner.
"Sunset Boulevard" is a song about a retiring footballer who is repeatedly invited to "hang [his] boots", but he refuses to comply. Backing vocalist Daniela Rando and "Christmas with the Yours" star Graziano Romani are featured throughout, singing in the choruses and each getting one solo line. The song quotes one line from Riccardo Cocciante's 1980 hit "Cervo a primavera" and one from "Vedrai, vedrai" (1967) by Luigi Tenco.
"Gli occhiali dell'amore" (English: "The glasses of love"), a live recording from 1990, is a parody of Mina's style (originally intended for her to sing), about an insecure boy who would need a pair of glasses to "see" his love for a girl he is fond of, later expanding the concept into a discussion about actual glasses.
"Puliletti blues" (English: "Bed cleaner's blues") is an improvised 12-bar blues, recorded by Elio shortly before "Tapparella" (from Eat the Phikis). The lyrics are about a "poor man's" version of a blues song and about the structure of such a song, with Elio underlining that the song uses four chords instead of the traditional three.
"Ti amo campionato", performed by the band live-in-the-studio during an episode of Mai dire Gol (in 1998), is very similar to "Sabbiature" in that both songs consist of improvised lyrics over an obsessively repeated, simplified backing track. Here, Elio focuses on wrongdoings (mostly corruption and referees' mistakes) in Italy's soccer championship, and the backing track is strongly reminiscent of Robert Miles's 1995 hit "Children".
"Tenia" (English: "Taenia"), only included in the reprint of the album in 2000, is a live parody/rewrite of Michael Sembello's 1983 hit "Maniac", about the titular worm, the diseases caused by it and various way to get rid of it.

The 1884 Toledo Blue Stockings finished with a 45–58 record, eighth place in the American Association. This was the only season the team was in a major league.

The team was noteworthy for catcher Fleet Walker and outfielder Weldy Walker, two brothers who are credited as being the first and second African Americans to play Major League Baseball before the color barrier prevented blacks from playing in the majors again until 1947.
