Kapunda Football Club, nicknamed The Bombers, is an Australian rules football club, based in Kapunda, South Australia, that competes in the Barossa Light & Gawler Football Association.

The club is currently coached by Michael McCarthy. The current president is Matthew Ryan. The club is based at Dutton Park in Kapunda. The club song is "A Bomber For You". The club fields teams in the A Grade, Reserves, Senior Colts, Junior Colts, Under 13's, under 11's and under 9's grades. The club's Bomber Blasts newspaper column features weekly during the season written by "Bomber Stud", featuring a quick review of the club's games, news and upcoming events.

Club history

The Kapunda Football Club is one of the oldest football clubs in Australia to enjoy an uninterrupted identity. It was first formed by copper miners on 18 April 1866 in the North Kapunda Hotel, where it was unanimous that the formed club be called "The Kapunda Football Club".
A pioneer of Australian Rules Football, the club played a role in the introduction of goal umpires, goal flags and the push-in-the-back rule. Kapunda was an inaugural member of the South Australian Football Association (SAFA) in 1877 but due to distance would not partake in regular matches.

The club has had many legendary players in its history, such as Jack Dermody, who won the Association Best & Fairest Medal in 1930, Dermody transferred to Port Adelaide in the SANFL where he captained Port to Premierships in 1936 and 1937 and also captained the State Team at the 1937 Australian Carnival in Perth. Dermody was involved in the introduction of Colts football to the Barossa, Light & Gawler.

Football great John "Jack" Maguire kicked more than 100 goals in a season on three occasions. In 1939 Maguire kicked the Association record of 135 goals and in 1935 kicked 30 goals in a match against Nuriootpa, including 14 goals in one quarter.

Jack Oatey Medallist and Central District Bulldogs premiership vice-captain and ruckman Jason McKenzie and former AFL player for Port Adelaide, Greater Western Sydney, Essendon and West Coast ruckman Jonathan Giles are also products of the Kapunda Football Club.

Club Events
The club normally begins the season with the Annual Club Player Auction on a Saturday night, which is a large fundraiser for the club.
A Sunday Family Day follows, consisting of a full club light training run, barbecue, player registration and payment of subs.

Each season the club plays its neighbouring club, the Freeling Football Club for the "Mickan-Shanahan Cup", named after prominent families from Kapunda and Freeling respectively. The cup is currently held by Kapunda. The player voted Best on Ground is bestowed the "Pitman Medal", named after Mark Pitman, winner of three Mail Medals, dual Premiership Coach of Kapunda (2004-2005), Premiership player of Freeling (1994), former Central Districts and South Adelaide league player, to name a few of his footballing achievements.

The club's premier social events are the Annual Red & Rump night and formal Presentation dinner. These events are always booked out and looked forward to by those in and around the club.
The club encourages all supporters to the Dutton Park clubrooms after games for best player presentations, entertainment and teas.

Uniforms

The Kapunda Football Club guernsey is black with a red sash. It has the club logo on the left chest and a club sponsor on the right. The club is also one of the first clubs in the Barossa, Light & Gawler competition to implement an away guernsey. This guernsey is mainly red, with a black V and black Kapunda logo. The Bombers initially had a blue and white guernsey, however in 1891 the club's colours became red and white. In 1908 the colours the blue returned to the guernsey and was shortly taken out along with the white in 1910 and the colours were now the famous black and red.

Premierships
The club has been very successful on the field since their inauguration in 1866, with the A Grade winning 15 Premierships, including two runs of three in a row from 1921 to 1923 and 1927–1929. The club celebrated its first Premiership in thirty years in 2004 and went back to back in 2005 with Mark Pitman at the helm. Kapunda has played in a further 16 Grand Finals including a draw with Angaston in 1977 and the subsequent replay where they were defeated.

Kapunda's reserves have also won 11 Premierships since the reserves competition began in 1922, with the last in 2006.
The senior colts have won a total of five premierships, the most recent in 1996, while the junior colts have won three the last of which also in 1996. Both competitions began in 1970, previous to then a combined competition known as the colts was held. Kapunda won three premierships in the colts competition.

Cardiopulmonary nerves are splanchnic nerves that are postsynaptic and sympathetic. They originate in cervical and upper thoracic ganglia and innervate the thoracic cavity.

All major sympathetic cardiopulmonary nerves arise from the stellate ganglia and the caudal halves of the cervical sympathetic trunks below the level of the cricoid cartilage. Parasympathetic cardiopulmonary nerves arise from the recurrent laryngeal nerves and the thoracic vagus immediately distal to them. These interconnect with the sympathetic cardiopulmonary nerves to form the ventral and dorsal cardiopulmonary plexuses.

The 1975 BRDC International Trophy, formally known as the 27th Daily Express International Trophy, was a non-championship Formula One race held at Silverstone Circuit on 13 April 1975. It was organised by the circuit owners, the British Racing Drivers' Club, as a "curtain raiser" for the European portion of the 1975 Formula One season. James Hunt, driving for the small Hesketh Racing team, set the fastest lap time in practice and took pole position for the start. In the race he continued to run at the front, heading the leading pack for many laps and setting fastest lap of the race on lap 14. Third-place runner, McLaren driver Emerson Fittipaldi, equalled his time on lap 23. However, Hunt's engine failed at the start of lap 26 and the lead was inherited by second-place runner Niki Lauda in his Ferrari. Lauda held the lead for the remainder of the race, despite Fittipaldi "pull[ing] out the stops" to try and pass him. At the finishing flag, Fittipaldi was only one-tenth of a second behind Lauda, with Mario Andretti in a Parnelli taking the last podium position in third.

Leisure Employment Services Ltd v HM Revenue & Customs [2007] EWCA Civ 92 is a UK labour law case on the interpretation of the National Minimum Wage Act 1998. It concerns the extent to which an employer may make deductions from a worker's basic wage entitlement for the purpose of accommodation costs. The effect is that deductions for heat and light bills may not go beyond the maximum deduction rate for accommodation cost.

Facts
Leisure Employment Services Ltd was a wholly owned subsidiary company of Bourne Leisure Ltd. It employed a number of holiday workers on caravan sites around England. These workers were paid the minimum wage. They were also given accommodation in the company's caravans, for which the maximum level of deductions from their wages were made (the maximum amount is stated under the r 36 of the National Minimum Wage Regulations). The employer also tried to deduct £6 a fortnight for heat and light bills. HM Revenue and Customs (which enforces the National Minimum Wage Act) issued an enforcement notice. It said this led the employer to breach their obligations under the Act. Leisure Employment Services Ltd. appealed to the Employment Tribunal, which gave judgment in their favour. But the Employment Appeal Tribunal overturned the judgment. The Court of Appeal eventually dismissed the employer's appeal.

Judgment
The majority judgment held that under r 31(1)(i) any deduction 'in respect of the provision of living accommodation' provided by the employer included heat and light bills. This is because the worker had no choice over whether to take heat and light to live in the caravans. It was a necessary part of their staying there. Therefore, the costs of heat and light could not be deducted by the employer in addition to the deductions for the accommodation itself.

Hercules and Love Affair is a dance music project created by American DJ, singer, composer, musician and producer Andy Butler in 2004. Consisting of a rotating cast of performers and musicians, the band work within the genres of house music, disco, techno and nu-disco.

Originally based in New York City, now based in Ghent, Belgium, Hercules and Love Affair were founded following Butler's collaboration with Anohni to produce the song "Blind", which was a hit single and became Pitchforks song of the year.  Their 2008 debut album Hercules and Love Affair received widespread critical acclaim. The band recorded Blue Songs in 2011, and then The Feast of the Broken Heart in 2014 which featured John Grant as guest, on the single "I Try To Talk To You". Their fourth album Omnion in 2017 featured singer Sharon Van Etten on the title track.

In 2022, they released their fifth album In Amber with Anohni, featuring on several songs; the lead single "Grace" featured Icelandic singer Elin Ey. In Amber received widespread critical acclaim and was named  "Album of the Year 2022" by The Arts Desk.

History

Origins

Andrew Butler was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, and has described growing up in "a violent household without any role models". He developed an early love for Greek mythology, which later inspired him to name his band after the mythological hero of Hercules. Interested in music, he played the piano, and began composing classical pieces from the age of thirteen. Butler's interest switched to focus on dance music after buying a record by the band Yazoo. He went on to give his first DJ set aged fifteen, in a Denver leather bar run by a hostess called Chocolate Thunder Pussy; on that occasion, the club was raided by police, leading him to hide from them in the toilets. As he later related: "I started DJing because I needed to get out of the house. I was, like, 'Take me to the club or there's going to be a really ugly situation at home today!' I found a lot of freedom in the nightclub to express myself and not be judged as harshly as I was at home. I am a gay man and I grew up with a certain struggle and because of that, I have a story to tell."

In the late 1990s, Butler moved to New York City to attend Sarah Lawrence College. In the city he befriended the musician Anohni—then working under her birth name of Antony Hegarty—and in 2004 convinced her to perform vocals for a song he had written, titled "Blind". At the time, she simply described it as "curious", but Butler continued to make adjustments to the demo.

2007–2011: Foundation and debut album

In 2007, after Anohni had won the Mercury Prize for her work with Antony and the Johnsons, Butler approached her with the "Blind" demo, and they agreed to release it. Butler decided to do so under the name of Hercules and Love Affair because it reflected his interest in Greco-Roman mythology; it referenced Hercules and his "love affair" with Hylas. According to Butler, "[Hercules] stayed on the island, looking for his boyfriend. I just thought this was super-beautiful: the strongest man on earth looking for his lost love, at his most vulnerable. Strong men can have strong feelings. And they can experience those feelings and experience pain and express pain — and be gay." DFA Records agreed to release the song, with DFA founder Tim Goldsworthy stating that "We had slight reservations that 'Blind' would be a one-hit wonder. But then he played us some bits he had been playing around with at home." The single was first released in the United Kingdom in March 2007, where it made the Top 40. It was awarded Best Song of 2008 by Pitchfork Media and came in at sixth place in Resident Advisor's Top 30 tracks of that year, while Entertainment Weekly called it the second best song of the year.

At this point, Butler decided to establish Hercules and Love Affair as a continuing musical project, stating his intent to release music with a rotating cast of performers and musicians. Their debut album Hercules and Love Affair was released in Europe through DFA's parent company, EMI, in March 2008. For the album, Butler assembled a mixed line-up; Morgan Wiley and Andrew Raposo, both formerly of Automato, joined the backing band, while Nomi Ruiz, CocoRosie, Kim Ann Foxman, and Anohni took up vocals. However, although Anohni would appear on five of the album's tracks, she did not participate in the band's live performances. The band made its live debut on May 17, 2008, at the Studio B venue in Brooklyn, New York, before going on a European and North American tour. Appearing at London's Lovebox Festival in 2010, it was there that they were interviewed by Vogue. After touring for a year, Butler split with his record company and returned to Denver.

2011–2020: Blue Songs, The Feast of the Broken Heart and Omnion

2011 saw the release of Hercules and Love Affair's second album, Blue Songs, brought out by independent British label Moshi Moshi. Butler remained in control, joined by Mark Pistel, and Kim Ann Foxman returned, however it also featured two new main vocalists, Shaun Wright and Aerea Negrot. One of the songs, "Step Up", contained guest vocals from Kele Okereke, the lead singer of indie rock band Bloc Party. The album's title was chosen by Butler to reflect his own "blue period" during adolescence, before he discovered the existence of like-minded people through music.

Shortly after the album's release, Butler attracted the attention of the music press when he informed Out magazine that Madonna should "make an age-appropriate record that still appeals to young people" while being scathing of Lady Gaga, asserting that she was producing "children's music... It's middle-aged gay men dancing around to music for 11-year-old girls." As a result of the stress and pressure of the band's success, Butler began making increased use of drugs, and in an attempt to get clean he moved from New York City to Vienna in Austria. As he told a journalist from The Guardian: "It was a need, because I was going way too fast and I was going to self-destruct. It had to get really bad before it got OK."

In August 2012, Hercules and Love Affair played at the Meltdown Festival at London's Southbank Centre, which was curated by Anohni. For their performance of "Blind", she joined them onstage to provide the vocals; the first time that she had performed the song live with the band. At that performance, they were also joined onstage by singer John Grant, who publicly stated for the first time that he was HIV positive; Butler later stated that "I thought it was one of the bravest things I've ever seen a person do".

The band's third album, The Feast of the Broken Heart, was released by Moshi Moshi in May 2014. Describing the album, Butler stated that "I wanted nasty basslines, stormy, bleary-eyed sounds, fiery, rough, tough and ragged old school house productions that sounded almost techno. I didn't want polite, I wanted aggressive". In a conscious change from the previous two albums, he did not make use of organic instrumentation. When recording the first songs for the album, Butler had stated his intention not to use any well-known vocalists for the album, because he believed that – as with Anohni and Okereke – they would be too busy to tour with the band. However, when the album was released, it received guest vocals from Grant, who sang on "Liberty" and "I Try To Talk To You", in which he dealt with the issue of being HIV positive. Also singing on the album were Rouge Mary, Gustaph, and Krystle Warren, with Butler informing The New York Times that that line-up constituted "the best ensemble of vocalists I've had."

In July 2014, the band performed at East London's Lovebox Festival. In August, the band generated some controversy with the release of the video for their song "My Offence" which featured excerpts of conversation with figures from the New York City gay scene like Honey Dijon and Juliana Huxtable. Butler described the song and its video as an examination of his "relationship to taboo words and the use of 'cunt' amongst NYC's gay community to relay flattery, empowerment and strength". In December 2014, Hercules and Love Affair performed in Thailand at Wonderfruit festival.

In February 2017, Hercules and Love Affair released "Controller", a new single featuring Faris Badwan of The Horrors. It is the first music from the band's fourth studio album Omnion, which was released on September 1, 2017, through Atlantic Records. The title track features a collaboration with vocalist Sharon Van Etten.

2021–present: In Amber
Butler heavily worked in 2021 to finish off the recording of the album In Amber. Hercules and Love Affair released in February 2022  "Grace" which featured Icelandic singer Elin Ey with Butler on vocals: it was promoted by a video it was the lead single of  In Amber. The album was made in collaboration of Anohni, with whom he had already recorded in 2008.  Anohni sang on the single "One" and also did vocals on half of the album. In Amber also featured drummer Budgie previously of Siouxsie and the Banshees, who was asked "to participate, to derailing some of the arrangements for more impact" on a suggestion of Anohni.

In Amber was finally released in June 2022 on CD and vinyl. The album received glowing reviews. AllMusic rated it four and a half out of five stars. Rolling Stone reviewed the album as "a bracing, at time beautiful, LP of dark art-pop abstraction", and Mojo considered it as "frequently beautiful". The Arts Desk named it "Album of the Year 2022".

Image and sound

Describing the band's 2011 lineup, Elizabeth Day of The Observer described Hercules and Love Affair as "possibly the most disparate bunch ever to come together, call themselves a band and release an album. The five members walk into the room in a blaze of colour and mismatched clothes like a pick'n'mix bag of sweets."

Reviewing a live show at the Oval Space in London in 2014, The Guardian asserted that Hercules and Love Affair's current line-up has reached an apex in terms of their vocal virtuosity.

Rob Ledonne of The New York Times asserted that Hercules and Love Affair have a "distinctly Continental sound" in that they are influenced by European dance music.

Roberto Peragón Lacalle (born 7 February 1978) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker.

He amassed Segunda División totals of 317 games and 62 goals over the course of ten seasons, representing seven clubs. In La Liga he competed for Rayo Vallecano, scoring ten goals in 70 matches.

Club career
After making his professional debut with hometown's Rayo Vallecano, with little impact, Madrid-born Peragón went on to represent Segunda División B clubs. In the 1999–2000 season he scored 17 goals for Burgos CF, and soon attracted the likes of Sevilla FC and Deportivo de La Coruña, eventually signing with Segunda División side Levante UD.

After another good year, Peragón rejoined Rayo Vallecano for two La Liga campaigns (plus 2003–04 in the second division), often contributing from the bench, then spent a further three years in division two with Elche CF. In his last year, he netted 11 times in the league.

In the summer of 2007, Peragón joined Málaga CF, and was a key attacking unit alongside veteran Salva and Nabil Baha for a side that returned to the top flight after a two-year absence. However, on 10 August 2008 he left the Andalusians as he was not part of new manager Antonio Tapia's plans; the following day the player signed a two-year contract with Alicante CF, recently promoted to the second tier as former team Rayo Vallecano.

After a sole season, with relegation, Peragón moved clubs again, joining Girona FC also of the second division.

The  is a railway line in Japan linking Toyono Station in Nagano, Nagano Prefecture and Echigo-Kawaguchi Station in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture. It is operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

History
The Iiyama Railway Co. opened the first section from Toyono to its namesake town in 1921, and extended the line in sections to Tokamachi in 1929, where it connected to the Japanese Government Railways line from Echigo-Kawaguchi which had opened in 1927.

The Iiyama Railway Co. was nationalised in 1944, and freight services ceased in 1987.

The line sees much snow in the winter. The line uses avalanche fences along steep slopes, snow sheds and has a melting system at level crossings to deal with the snow. A record 7.85m of snow fell at Mori-Miyanohara Station in February 1945, an event that is remembered with a pole just outside the station marking the vast amount of snow.

The World Chess Championship 1984–1985 was a match between challenger Garry Kasparov and defending champion Anatoly Karpov in Moscow from 10 September 1984 to 15 February 1985 for the World Chess Championship title. After 5 months and 48 games, the match was abandoned in controversial circumstances with Karpov leading 5 wins to 3 (with 40 draws), and replayed in the World Chess Championship 1985.

1982 Interzonals
Three Interzonal tournaments were held. The top two finishers in each qualified. Zoltán Ribli won the Las Palmas Interzonal ahead of 61-year-old former World Champion Vasily Smyslov. Kasparov, aged 19 years old at the time, won the Moscow Interzonal by a convincing 1½ point margin ahead of Alexander Beliavsky. The Toluca Interzonal was won jointly by Lajos Portisch and Eugenio Torre.

1983–1984 Candidates tournament
The six Interzonal qualifiers were joined by Viktor Korchnoi and Robert Hübner, the Candidates finalists from the previous cycle (World Chess Championship 1981). The eight players participated in a series of knockout matches. The winner was Garry Kasparov.

The Smyslov–Hübner match was originally tied at 5–5. After playing four extra games without breaking the tie, the match was resolved by a spin of the roulette wheel. Funnily enough, the ball went into the zero on the first spin, before deciding in favor of Smyslov.

Controversies
Politics threatened Kasparov's semi-final match against Viktor Korchnoi, which was scheduled to be played in Pasadena, California. Korchnoi had defected from the Soviet Union in 1976, and was at that time the strongest active non-Soviet player. Various political manoeuvres prevented Kasparov from playing Korchnoi in the United States, and Kasparov forfeited the match. This was resolved when Korchnoi agreed for the match to be replayed in London, along with the Vasily Smyslov vs. Zoltán Ribli match. The Korchnoi–Kasparov match was put together on short notice by Raymond Keene. Kasparov lost the first game, but subsequently won four, prevailing in the match with a total score of 7–4.

The championship match between Karpov and Kasparov had many ups and downs, and a very controversial finish. Karpov started in very good form, and after nine games Kasparov was down 4–0 in a "first to six wins" match. Fellow players predicted he would be whitewashed 6–0 within 18 games.

But Kasparov dug in and battled Karpov to 17 successive draws. He lost game 27, then fought back with another series of draws until game 32, his first-ever win against the World Champion. Another 14 successive draws followed, through game 46. The previous record length for a world title match had been 34 games, the 1927 match between José Capablanca and Alexander Alekhine, which also followed the "first to 6 wins" format. Games 47 and 48 were both won by the challenger, making the score 5–3 in favor of Karpov and the eventual outcome far less certain.

Then the match was ended without result by Florencio Campomanes, the President of the World Chess Federation, and a new match was announced to start a few months later. The termination was controversial, as both players stated that they preferred the match to continue. Announcing his decision at a press conference, Campomanes cited the health of the players, which had been strained by the length of the match (5 months: 10 September 1984 to 8 February 1985).

The restarted match (the World Chess Championship 1985) was best of 24, with the champion (Karpov) to retain his title if the match was tied 12–12. Because Karpov's two-point lead from the 1984 match was wiped out, Karpov was granted the right of a return match (the World Chess Championship 1986) if he lost.

The 1984 match became the first, and so far only, world championship match to be abandoned without result. Karpov would later say that, if he had won this match 6-0, Kasparov would never have become world champion, because he was too emotional. On the other hand, Raymond Keene felt that Kasparov showed "an astonishing buoyancy and resilience of spirit".

The Big Empty is a 2003 comedy film directed and written by Steve Anderson. It stars Jon Favreau as a struggling actor with a bizarre request from his neighbor to deliver a suitcase that he cannot open. While there, he meets an unusual cast of characters, and starts to think this delivery might be more than it seems.

Plot

John Person is a struggling actor in Los Angeles who is $28K in debt. His neighbor Neely offers him $25K to take a gun and deliver a blue suitcase to "Cowboy" in Baker. Person initially refuses but accepts when Neely reveals he has detailed personal information on Person and raises the offer to cover his debts.

In a Baker hotel, Person misses a man in a cowboy outfit. While getting a drink, he is immediately held at gunpoint by Randy, who thinks Person is after his girlfriend Ruthie. She comes to Person's room later, returning his dropped wallet, and they hit it off. In a diner the next day, Person meets Dan, who tells many strange tales and conspiracy theories about the desert. Person meets Ruthie outside a gas station, buys her alcohol, and they drive to Devil's Crest lakebed outside town. As they get drunk, he hears stories about disappearing people. Person drives Ruthie home when she gets sick and passes out.

Going back to the motel, Person again misses Cowboy, who left him a bowling ball bag addressed to Neely that he is not allowed to open. Person's friend Grace calls to tell him Neely was beheaded, and FBI agent Banks is looking for him. Person fears Neely's head is in the bag. Candy, a hooker, comes to Person's room curious about his meeting with Cowboy and warns him that Cowboy may be responsible for the disappearance of three strippers from Las Vegas.  Later, Randy threatens to kill him if he talks to Ruthie again.  The next day, Person buries the bag. Stella, the owner of a bar, reveals she rescued Ruthie from the Devil's Crest when Ruthie was a child. At Stella's bar, Banks tries to link Person to Neely's murder and 75 mysterious disappearances from Baker.

Person sees Randy has stolen his suitcase. He drives to a junkyard with his gun, finding Randy has tied Ruthie up. During an armed standoff, Person convinces Randy to let Ruthie and him go by threatening to shoot her. Later, Ruthie comes to Person's room to tell him Randy was arrested, and they have sex. Randy kidnaps Person, but before Randy can shoot him, Cowboy shoots Randy. Going back to the motel, Person finds suitcases stacked in his room. Cowboy tells him to drive them to the Devil's Crest lakebed. When Person refuses, Cowboy takes Grace hostage. Person goes to Devil's Crest and meets Bob the Indian, who tells him where and how to arrange the suitcases and leaves.

Cowboy arrives with a group in blue tracksuits, similar to Neely's, including Ruthie. Cowboy pulls out a pair of size-11 bowling shoes from the bag. Cowboy offers them to Person as a chance to come with him to Paradise. When he refuses, Cowboy gives them to Ruthie. She excitedly invites Person, but he declines. Cowboy shoots a flare. Cowboy insists he is simply a cowboy, even as his skin turns blue and translucent. As the flare explodes, Person blacks out. Person awakens alone on the dry lakebed. All of the suitcases are empty except for a locked one nearby. Frustrated, he takes it and walks to the highway. Grace meets him and says he has been missing for three days. She gives him a key from Cowboy, and he finds his $28K in the case.

Back in Los Angeles, Banks interrogates Person. Unable to tell the truth to the families of those disappeared, Banks invents a story. Person sees a band-aid on Banks' neck, similar to the one that appeared on his own neck after Devil's Crest, relating to one of Dan's conspiracy theories. As Person and Grace go on a date at a bowling alley, she congratulates him for getting a supporting role in a film. She quotes Cowboy with bright blue eyes. Person, wearing size-11 shoes, rolls a ball down the alley; his eyes turn bright blue, too. The bowling ball rolls across the vast moonlit Devil's Crest. Far in the distance white flames, like the Cowboy's flare, rise from the desert floor.

Cast

 Jon Favreau as John Person; an out-of-work actor, and the story's protagonist. He keeps waiting for callbacks from "promising auditions" and hangs a number of his headshots on the wall wherever he goes. He is like the story's everyman, reacting rather seriously and deadpan to his situations. John Person is his stage name, and his real name is never revealed. His favorite drink is a gin and tonic.
 Joey Lauren Adams as Grace; John's friend, who lives across the hall from him. She is slightly nerdy, but is cheery and supportive of John's acting career.
 Bud Cort as Neely; John's strange neighbor. He is stocky and squirrely, and wears a neck brace for an unknown reason (John and Grace gossip about why he is wearing it). He is the one who convinces John Person to deliver the suitcase to Baker, California. John finds him rather creepy, and Neely somehow knows more than he should about John.
 Jon Gries as Elron; the manager of the Royal Hawaiian Motel in Baker. He is irritatingly peppy and offers John a complimentary hooker and comes into his motel room every morning to wake him up and offer him breakfast. John usually refuses and Elron usually sits in the room and eats them himself. Later,  he is found to have a steel plate in his head.
 Daryl Hannah as Stella; the bartender at the local bar. She is an easygoing, urbane woman who helps John out.
 Rachael Leigh Cook as Ruthie; Stella's adopted daughter. She is somewhat of a "bad girl", with a high alcohol tolerance and a heavily opinionated attitude, but she also has a sweet side. She wants to leave Baker to see the world, and is attracted to John's good and supportive nature.
 Adam Beach as Randy; Ruthie's boyfriend. He has an obsession with Ruthie, and reacts violently if anyone so much as looks at her. He is psychopathic and threatens to kill John, first with a chainsaw and later with a shotgun.
 Brent Briscoe as Dan; a trucker who is always at the diner with John Person, and rambles on about conspiracy theories such as how the government is building a bullet train so "they can get people liquored up and fire them out into the desert" so they do not notice the numerous UFO sightings around Baker. Some of his conspiracy theories turn out to offer interesting insights on the story's details.
 Sean Bean as Cowboy; a mysterious person to whom John Person needs to deliver the suitcase. Cowboy is only alluded to for most of the movie as "the guy with a big, black duster and black Stetson". He is a classic cowboy (despite his English accent) with a gravelly voice and tough attitude. His role, though, is much more strange; his job is to gather up people to be taken away by aliens at a "jump point" outside Baker.
 Kelsey Grammer as Agent Banks; an FBI agent who suspects John has a role in the unusual occurrences in Baker. He has a certain fast-talking wit and grandiosity about himself, possibly for the use of "good cop" interrogation. He may also have been involved in what is going on in Baker.
 Gary Farmer as Indian Bob; a sarcastic Native American who guides John Person to the "jump point" in the dry lake bed, instructs him what to do, and offers him homespun wisdom about making the most out of life.
 Melora Walters as Candy; a hooker who works for the motel where John Person is staying, as a complimentary service to the guests. She is a bit of an airhead, but she offers important information about Cowboy's motives.

Locations

The Big Empty was all shot on location in Los Angeles and Baker, California, which is a real town in southern California where most of the story takes place. Many of its locations are real, including the Royal Hawaiian Motel. Several landmarks in Baker are also shown, including the world's tallest thermometer.
The Alto Nido apartments where John Person is living are the same ones where William Holden lived in the beginning of Sunset Blvd.  All the bowling scenes were filmed at the famous Hollywood Star Lanes in Hollywood. It has since been demolished.

Reception
On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 71% based on reviews from 7 critics.

Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review, saying it "Has a seductive easiness (which may not be for everyone, but it works), a laid-back yet ever-so-slightly portentous score and a wonderful sense of place." Chuck Wilson of L.A. Weekly wrote: "More amiable than laugh-out-loud funny, the film pokes along, buoyed by the motel's bright Hawaiian color scheme, and a moonlit desert finale that's awfully pretty." Robert Koehler of Variety wrote: ""Hobbled by uninspired stabs at cleverness and surreal narrative curlicues, The Big Empty goes nowhere, replete with a question mark of an ending that isn't worth answering."

Work in process or work-in-process, (WIP), work in progress (WIP), goods in process, or in-process inventory refers to a company's partially finished goods waiting for completion and eventual sale, or the value of these items. The term is used in supply chain management, and WIP is a key input for calculating inventory on a company's balance sheet. In lean thinking, inappropriate processing or excessive processing of goods or work in process, "doing more than is necessary", is seen as one of the seven wastes (Japanese term: muda) which do not add value to a product.

WIP inventory in supply chain management
WIP inventory calculations can help a company assess their supply chain health and guide in supply chain planning. In most cases, it is ideal to have low WIP inventory levels, and companies that manage their inventory level efficiently tend to have lower costs. Managing WIP inventory requires coordination between several functions within a company, as well as with suppliers and customers. Higher WIP inventory levels are advantageous in that they can support a surge in demand, as well as improve cycle time since there is more material in production. However, this can also increase storage costs and obsolescence risk, as well as lead to waste if demand is lower than expected.

WIP inventory in accounting
WIP inventory refers to goods that are in production and not yet a finished good. On the balance sheet, WIP inventory is aggregated into the inventory line under current assets along with raw materials and finished goods.

To calculate WIP inventory at the end of an accounting period, the following 3 figures are required: beginning WIP inventory, production costs, and finished goods. Beginning WIP inventory is the WIP inventory figure from the previous accounting period. Production costs includes all costs associated with manufacturing a product, such as raw materials, labor, and overhead costs. Finished goods is the total value of goods ready for sale in the current accounting period. The formula for calculating WIP inventory is as follows: beginning WIP inventory + production costs – finished goods.

Tax treatment
In the United Kingdom, HMRC has no specific definition of work-in-process, but three different types of uncompleted items are identified for tax purposes:
manufactured products
contracts for services
construction contracts

Sidney Rae Hinds (May 14, 1900 – February 17, 1991) was an American highly decorated officer of the United States Army with the rank of brigadier general. He was also sport shooter who competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics and won the gold medal in the team rifle competition.

Early life

Sidney Rae Hinds was born on May 14, 1900, in Newton, Illinois, as the son of Daniel C. and Elizabeth (Jackson) Hinds. He spent his high school years in Wahpeton, North Dakota, and when he was eighteen years old, he received an appointment from Congressman John Miller Baer to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. World War I changed the length of the studies and Hinds graduated in June 1920. He was also commissioned a second lieutenant in infantry.

His class of 1920 was very strong, producing 49 general officers, including Lyman L. Lemnitzer, Clovis E. Byers, Henry I. Hodes, Lawrence J. Carr, Edward J. McGaw, Verne D. Mudge, Richard C. Partridge, Ewart G. Plank, William W. Bessell, Jr., John F. Cassidy, Rex V. Corput, Jr., Francis W. Farrell, William W. Ford, Charles K. Gailey, Joseph E. Harriman, Frederick M. Harris, Sherman V. Hasbrouck, Frederick L. Hayden, Homer W. Kiefer and Maurice W. Daniel.

In 1924 he participated in the Summer Olympics and won the gold medal as a member of the American team in the team free rifle competition. His gold medal in on display at the US Army Infantry Museum at Fort Benning, Georgia.

He died in San Antonio, Texas, on February 15, 1991, and is buried at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.

During World War II he saved the German town Ahlen by believing the German Dr. Paul Rosenbaum who was responsible for the hospital town. In the early 1990s the park in front of the station in Ahlen was named after him.

Nuccio Cusumano (born Stefano Cusumano; October 16, 1948) is an Italian politician whose most recent political appointment was to the Italian Senate (April 26, 2006 – April 28, 2008) on the roster of the UDEUR party as one of thirty representatives for the Campania constituency.

Born in Sciacca (Sicily), he holds a law degree and has worked as an entrepreneur and as a journalist.

In the course of his political career, he has held several government positions, including that of Undersecretary of State for the Treasury (then headed by Carlo Azeglio Ciampi) during the premiership of Massimo D'Alema, between 1998 and 1999.

In 1994, as a member of the Italian People's Party (PPI), he helped then-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi survive a vote of confidence. He was one of four PPI senators who, against the instructions of their party, physically left the Senate room, rendering the house without a quorum.

In 1999, while a junior Treasury Minister, he was arrested under allegations of corruption in relation to construction contracts for a hospital in Sicily. In 2007, the court in Catania exonerated him completely.

On 24 January 2008, in the 2008 Italian political crisis, Cusumano supported Prime Minister Romano Prodi in a confidence vote, again against the instructions of his party, UDEUR. Another UDEUR senator, Tommaso Barbato, launched into a vicious verbal attack and had to be restrained from physically attacking Cusumano, who appeared to faint and was carried out of the house.

Expelled from UDEUR because of his decision, he joined the Democratic Party. As a candidate in the April 2008 elections, he was not re-elected.

Tarcutta Hills Reserve is a  nature reserve on the lower western slopes of the Great Dividing Range in central west New South Wales, Australia.  It is  south-west of Sydney, close to the Hume Highway, and  south of Tarcutta.  It is owned and managed by Bush Heritage Australia (BHA), which purchased it in 1999, and it is listed on the Register of the National Estate.

In late 2020, Bush Heritage purchased a  parcel of land, adjacent to the northern boundary of the reserve, extending the total size of the reserve. The new block of land features a large and healthy example of White Box-Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland, an ecological community classified as Critically Endangered in NSW.

Landscape and biota
Tarcutta Hills protects the largest area of intact grassy white box woodland in Australia. It has a high species richness and contains habitat suitable for the threatened turquoise parrot, swift parrot, superb parrot and regent honeyeater.  The reserve is part of the South-west Slopes of NSW Important Bird Area (IBA), identified as such by BirdLife International because of its importance for the conservation of swift parrots and superb parrots. Some of the plants that have a habitat here are White Cypress Pine, Small-leaf Bush Pea, Honeypot, Many-flowered Mat-rush, Kurrajong.

Solanum paniculatum, commonly known as jurubeba, is a nightshade common in almost all of Brazil. It is used as a medicinal plant and has a bitter taste.

An infusion of its stem and its root in sugar cane alcohol (cachaça) is popularly used as an apéritif or a digestif.

Synonyms
Well known in its native range, this species has been described time and again under different now-invalid names. Some of these are homonyms of other Solanum taxa.

 Solanum belfort Vand.
 Solanum belfortianum Dunal
 Solanum botelhianum Dunal (unjustified emendation)
 Solanum botelho Vand.
 Solanum chloroleucum Dunal
 Solanum dictyoticum Roem. & Schult.
 Solanum jubeba Vell.
 Solanum macronema Sendtn.
 Solanum manoelii Moric.
 Solanum reticulatum Willd. ex Roem. & Schult.
Solanum reticulatum of de Jussieu from Dunal in de Candolle is S. vellozianum.
Solanum reticulatum of Dunal in Poiret is S. crotonoides as described by Lamarck
 Solanum rothelianum Steud. (lapsus)

Two varieties were once recognized, but they are not generally considered valid anymore:
 Solanum paniculatum var. ellipticum Chodat
Not to be confused with S. ellipticum, described by Brown. The S. ellipticum of de Conceição Vellozo refers to S. cylindricum.
 Solanum paniculatum var. integrifolium Dunal
Not to be confused with the S. integrifolium of Poiret, which refers to S. aethiopicum

Similar nightshade species that were once included with S. paniculatum but are now considered distinct are:
 Solanum pseudoauriculatum (as f. flavescens or ssp. pseudoauriculatum)
 Solanum acutilobum (as var. acutilobum)
 Solanum albidum Dunal (as var. chulumani)

The Archdiocese of Lanciano-Ortona () is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church that has existed under this name since 1986. Since 1982, it has been a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Chieti-Vasto.

The historical Diocese of Lanciano was created in 1515. It was united with the Diocese of Ortona from 1818 to 1834, and again in 1986. The archbishop of Lanciano was Perpetual Administrator of the diocese of Ortona from 1834 to 1982, and then held the two dioceses aeque personaliter until 1986, when Ortona was permanently suppressed.

History
Until 1515 Lanciano was subject to the Bishop of Chieti. In 1515, Pope Leo X created Lanciano a separate diocese, and made it immediately subject to the Holy See, making the bishop of Chieti both angry and jealous. In 1562 Pope Pius IV, to end a dispute with that bishop, made it an archdiocese without suffragans. The first bishop was Angelo Maccafani; the first archbishop was the Dominican Leonardo Marini (1560).

Ortona was an episcopal see in the time of Gregory the Great, who mentions the Bishop Calumniosus and his predecessor Blandinus. Another bishop was Joannes, who in 916 was the papal legate at the Council of Altheim. There is no record of a Bishop of Ortona after the tenth century. Pope Pius V in 1570 re-established the see, to which in 1569 the diocese of Campli was united.

Restoration

Following the extinction of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, the Congress of Vienna authorized the restoration of the Papal States and the Kingdom of Naples. It was imperative that Pope Pius VII and King Ferdinand IV reach agreement on restoration and restitution. Ferdinand, however, demanded the suppression of fifty dioceses. On 17 July 1816, King Ferdinand issued a decree, in which he forbade the reception of any papal document without prior reception of the royal exequatur. This meant that prelates could not receive bulls of appointment, consecration, or installation without the king's permission.

A concordat was finally signed on 16 February 1818, and ratified by Pius VII on 25 February 1818. Ferdinand issued the concordat as a law on 21 March 1818. The right of the king to nominate the candidate for a vacant bishopric was recognized, as in the Concordat of 1741, subject to papal confirmation (preconisation). On 27 June 1818, Pius VII issued the bull De Ulteriore, in which the diocese of Ortona was suppressed, and its ecclesiastical territory was assigned to the archdiocese of Lanciano. When, in 1818, Ortona was joined to Lanciano, the territory of the diocese of Campli was assigned to the diocese of Teramo.

On 17 June 1834, Pope Gregory XVI issued the bull Ecclesiarum omnium, in which the arrangement made in 1818 was reversed. The diocese of Ortona was restored, and the cathedral which had been reduced to the status of a collegiate church was restored to cathedral status. It's college of clerics again became the canons of the cathedral of Ortona. The finances of the old diocese of Ortona, which had been incorporated into those of the diocese of Lanciano, were again separated. The one exception to the return to the status quo ante was the seminary. It was deemed more efficient for both dioceses to use the seminary of Lanciano on equal terms. The archbishop of Lanciano became the "Perpetual Administrator of the Church of Ortona."

On 10 September 1881, a major earthquake caused considerable damage in Lanciano and in Orsogna, with some loss of life and many injuries. In Orsogna, 14 km (9 mi) west of Lanciano, all six churches were damaged or fell.

New ecclesiastical province

On 2 March 1982, Pope John Paul II issued the bull, Fructuosae Ecclesiae, in which he created the new ecclesiastical province of Chieti (Theatina), granting it as suffragan dioceses Vasto, Lanciano and Ortona. The metropolitan status of Lanciano was cancelled, though its archbishop was permitted to retain the title of archbishop. The diocese of Ortona was joined to the archdiocese of Lanciano aeque principaliter, that is, one single bishop was bishop of two dioceses at the same time.

In 2015 Lanciano celebrated the 500th anniversary of the diocese.

The Pont d'Arcole is a bridge in Paris over the River Seine. It is served by the Metro station Hôtel de Ville.

History

The need for a bridge communicating between place de Grève (now Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville) and the île de la Cité had been felt for years. Called the passerelle de Grève or the pont de l'Hôtel-de-Ville for the first two years of its life, its present name - according to the most generally accepted hypothesis - comes from the Battle of the Bridge of Arcole, in which Napoleon personally led a charge waving the tricolour and defeated the Austrians in 1796.  The other hypothesis is that a young republican killed in the "Three Glorious Days" of the July Revolution - cut down as he planted the tricolour - cried "Remember that I am called Arcole" just before his death, presumably as he was imitating Bonaparte's action.  This account is reported in the English guide "Paris; Its Historical Buildings and Revolutions" (C. Cox, London 1849)

It was only in 1828 that a suspension bridge for pedestrians with two 6m-wide carriageways, supported from a central pier in midstream, was built by Marc Seguin. In 1854, with increased traffic due to the prolongation of the rue de Rivoli, it was replaced by a more substantial metal structure that could also be used by vehicular traffic. The pont d'Arcole was built to the plans of Alphonse Oudry (1819–1869), retired Ingénieur des Ponts et Chaussées and his partner Nicolas Cadiat; the structure was innovative in that it was the first unsupported bridge across the Seine to be made entirely in wrought iron rather than cast iron. The low arch, only lightly cambered, was also innovative, and on 16 February 1888 it suddenly sagged by 20 cm and had to be consolidated. It was only between 1994 and 1995 that the city council made overall repairs to the bridge's roadways, reviewing its waterproofing and paintwork at the same time.

The bridge is also historically notable in that it was over this bridge that the first tanks of Général Leclerc's 2nd Armored Division rolled on their way to the place de l'hôtel de ville during the Liberation of Paris in August 1944.

Barney Thomas Cotton (born September 30, 1956) is an American football coach and former player.

Biography

Early life
Cotton was born in Omaha, Nebraska and attended Omaha Burke High School.

Playing career
Cotton's college playing career began in 1975 at University of Nebraska–Lincoln after the conclusion of his high school career at Omaha Burke.  He played his first two seasons as an offensive lineman, then spent the next season on the other side of the ball, playing defensive tackle.  In his senior season, he returned to the offensive line, earning All-Big-Eight honors while helping Tom Osborne's 1978 team to a league championship.

Cotton was a third-round pick in the 1979 NFL Draft and played for one season with the Cincinnati Bengals before moving to the St Louis Cardinals.  In 1982, after three seasons with St. Louis, a knee injury forced his retirement. He returned to Nebraska, completing a bachelor's degree in 1983.

Coaching career

Cotton began his football coaching career in 1989 when he joined the staff at St. Cloud State University as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, helping St. Cloud State to a North Central Conference championship that same year.  Cotton was also a student of St. Cloud State during his coaching career there, completing his master's degree in athletic administration during his last year as their coach in 1994.

In 1995, Cotton was appointed as head coach for the first time in his career, back in his home state of Nebraska, at Hastings College.  In 1995, Hastings College won the Nebraska-Iowa Athletic Conference (NIAC) championship and made an appearance in the NAIA playoffs, and Cotton was named NIAC Coach of the Year.

In 1997, former Nebraska Cornhuskers player and New Mexico State University head coach Tony Samuel hired Cotton to the same position he had held at St. Cloud State, offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.  Although championships eluded New Mexico State during Cotton's six years with the program, the production of his offensive players generated impressive statistics.  New Mexico State ranked nationally in the top 25 in overall offense in 1998, 2000 and 2002, and was ranked nationally in the top 25 in rushing offense for all six years.  In his final season, New Mexico State led the Sun Belt Conference in passing efficiency, rushing offense and total offense. Six New Mexico State linemen earned All-Sun Belt Conference honors during Cotton's tenure.

Cotton was hired by Nebraska head coach Frank Solich, once again to serve as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, and helping Nebraska finish with a 10–3 record in 2003. Despite helping Nebraska to a national top ten rushing offense and mentoring four linemen to earn All-Big 12 Conference honors, Cotton was let go along with nearly all of the other assistants after Solich was replaced by Bill Callahan following the 2003 season.

Iowa State University hired Cotton in 2004, once again as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. In his first season, Iowa State overcame a soft start by finishing strong and defeating the Miami RedHawks in the 2004 Independence Bowl.  Over the following two years, he guided several Iowa State players to Big 12 Conference honors before he found himself once again let go after another coaching change. Unable to find a college coaching job, he spent the following year remaining in Ames, Iowa, as an unpaid volunteer coaching assistant at Ames High School.

In 2008, Cotton again accepted a position with Nebraska. Former Nebraska defensive coordinator Bo Pelini, who had also been let go along with Cotton following Solich's dismissal, was named Callahan's successor as head coach at Nebraska.  Cotton was one of several assistants who had previously been associated with Nebraska who were brought back to the program, and he accepted Pelini's offer to return as offensive line coach and also to take on the title of Assistant Head Coach, to draw upon his prior head coaching experience and assist Pelini with some of the administrative responsibilities of the head coaching position.  He remained in this role until the end of the 2012 season, when tight ends coach and run game coordinator were added to his responsibilities.

On November 30, 2014, two days after the Cornhuskers defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes 37–34 to finish the regular season with a 9–3 record, Cotton was appointed interim head coach for the upcoming bowl game, following the dismissal of Pelini.

Cotton began serving as the UNLV offensive coordinator and tight ends coach starting in 2015.

Cotton resigned as offensive coordinator for UNLV, citing health reasons.

Children
Barney Cotton has three children (Ben, Sam, and Jake Cotton), all of whom have played football for Nebraska. Ben played at Nebraska as a tight end from 2008 to 2012, and was a pre-season member of the 2013 San Diego Chargers, but did not make fall roster. Jake played as an offensive lineman from 2010 to 2014, and signed pre-season free agent contracts the Houston Texans and the Ottawa Redblacks but did not make the final roster for either team. Sam played as a tight end from 2012 to 2016, and signed a free agent contract with the New England Patriots in 2017.
