On D-Day, it dropped paratroopers in Normandy, earning a Distinguished Unit Citation.  After V-E Day, it served until spring 1946 as part of the occupation forces, then returned to the United States for inactivation.

The squadron was activated in the reserve in 1949 and was mobilized for the Korean War, but its personnel were used as fillers for other units and it was inactivated.  It was activated again as the 301st Military Airlift Squadron, a reserve associate airlift squadron and has served in that role to the present.

Mission

The mission of the 301st Airlift Squadron is to train and provide qualified McDonnell Douglas C-17 Globemaster III aircrews to fly worldwide airlift missions and augment the active duty forces under readiness conditions up to and including full mobilization.

History

World War II
The squadron was first activated as the 301st Troop Carrier Squadron in August 1943 at Sedalia Army Air Field, Missouri as a I Troop Carrier Command Douglas C-47 Skytrain squadron.  After training in Missouri and later North Carolina, it was sent to Baer Field, Indiana for final equipping with aircraft and personnel.    The 301st deployed to Ninth Air Force in England, and was assigned to IX Troop Carrier Command in March 1944 during the build-up prior to the invasion of France.

The squadron participated in the D-Day operation, dropping 101st Airborne Division paratroops near Cherbourg – Maupertus Airport, then carried out re-supply and glider delivery missions the following day.

The squadron's aircraft flew supplies into Normandy as soon as suitable landing strips were available and evacuated casualties to England. On 17 July the air echelon flew to Grosseto Airfield in Italy to prepare for operations connected with Operation Dragoon, the invasion of southern France, returning to England on 24 August.

The squadron moved to France in September 1944 and for the balance of the Northern France Campaign and the Western Allied invasion of Germany, it was engaged in combat resupply of ground forces, operating from advanced landing grounds in northern France.   It delivered supplies to rough resupply and evacuation airfields near the front lines, returning combat casualties to field hospitals in rear areas.

After V-E Day, the squadron was based in the Leipzig area, then when Leipzig was turned over to the Soviet Union as part of its occupation zone, it was moved to the American Zone of Berlin where it was the first American air unit to occupy Tempelhof Airdrome on 4 July 1945.

The squadron returned to the United States in March 1946 and was inactivated at Bolling Field, District of Columbia.

Air Force reserve
The 301st was reactivated as a Curtiss C-46 Commando transport squadron in the Air Force Reserve in 1949.  It was called to active duty as part of the Korean War mobilization in 1951.  Unit personnel and aircraft were assigned as fillers to active-duty units and the squadron was quickly inactivated.

Since 1969 the 301st has trained in the Air Force Reserve to fly global strategic airlift missions, performing routine channel flights, contingency and humanitarian relief operations, and joint training exercises.

Herbert Armitage James, CH (3 August 1844 – 15 November 1931) was a Welsh cleric and headmaster of three leading public schools, who ended his "remarkable scholastic career", as it was later described by Austen Chamberlain, by becoming President of St John's College, Oxford. After an Oxford education and early teaching career at Marlborough College, he was headmaster of Rossall School from 1875 to 1886. It was said that he raised the school "to a pitch of all-round excellence which it had not known before". After suffering from health problems at Rossall, he served as Dean of St Asaph from 1886 to 1889.  He returned to teaching in 1889, becoming headmaster of Cheltenham College and remaining in this post until 1895, despite being offered the position of headmaster of Clifton College.  He then became headmaster of Rugby School and served there to great acclaim.  His Rugby School nickname of "The Bodger" is still in use at the school. He left Rugby School in 1909 to become President of St John's College, Oxford, a position he held until his death 22 years later.

He was a highly respected teacher and preacher, being described as one of the best preachers of his day.  He was widely praised for his work at Rossall, Cheltenham, Rugby and St John's. He was made a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour by King George V in 1926. At a dinner in his honour held to mark this award, attended by over 200 friends and former students, he was described by Austen Chamberlain (the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs) as "one of the greatest and most forceful characters who had ever devoted himself to education". The Lord Chancellor, Viscount Cave, also spoke at the dinner to praise James's directness in his opinions and decisions, his weighty judgment, his high character and his kindly nature.

Early life and education
He was born in Kirkdale, Liverpool, the son of the Rev. Dr. David James, rector of Panteg, Monmouthshire, from 1856 to 1871. He was educated at King Henry VIII Grammar School, Abergavenny, and then studied at two Oxford colleges. He matriculated at Jesus College in 1863, before winning a scholarship and moving to Lincoln College in 1864, obtaining a first-class degree in Literae Humaniores in 1867. He was appointed a Fellow of St John's College in 1869 and was President of the Oxford Union Society in 1871 (where he nominated H. H. Asquith to the Standing Committee). He was then ordained, and received his Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1874. Later, on 31 May 1895, he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Divinity, having previously been excused by the university from satisfying the requirements normally set for the award of the degree.

Teaching career

He was Assistant Master at Marlborough College from 1872 to 1875 before being appointed Headmaster of Rossall School in 1875. On the last day of his first year as headmaster, the whole school (with the exception of a couple of students) gathered outside the school to hiss and boo at James. Despite this, he held this position until 1886 and was regarded as having been "brilliantly successful, raising the school in the 11 years of his reign to a pitch of all-round excellence which it had not known before". His students at Rossall included Henry Stuart-Jones, who became a distinguished classical scholar.  One of Stuart-Jones's contemporaries later gave James the credit for making Stuart-Jones an "accurate and industrious scholar".

The strain of his position at Rossall School having affected his health, he was appointed Dean of St Asaph in 1886. In 1889, his health restored, he left St Asaph to become Principal of Cheltenham College (1889–95). He was again successful in this post, and was offered the position of Headmaster of Clifton College, but was prevailed upon to stay. He made participation in games a compulsory part of the boys' education in 1889. He also started the building of a new chapel to mark the college's centenary in 1891. When Dr Percival was appointed Bishop of Hereford, James succeeded him in 1895 as Headmaster of Rugby School. He was headmaster for 14 years and was very well regarded: it was said that the school had "seldom stood higher since Arnold's day" than under his leadership (in reference to Thomas Arnold, who was headmaster from 1828 to 1841). He was also described in his obituary in The Times as having "once more showed himself a complete master of his profession, equally effective and esteemed in the class-room and the pulpit, in the School House of Dr. Arnold, and on the playing fields." He was nicknamed "The Bodger", and this term is still part of Rugby School slang. King Edward VII visited Rugby School towards the end of James's time as headmaster on 3 July 1909, the first royal visit to the School.

St John's College

He returned to Oxford in 1909 as President of St John's College (having been made an honorary fellow in 1895) and held this position until his death in 1931. He was regarded during this time as a leader for the causes of the church and the Conservative Party, and was described as "winning all hearts with his geniality, his good sense, and his readiness to help all with whom he was brought into contact." In 1918, during his time as college President, his photograph was taken for inclusion in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.

He was made a Companion of Honour by King George V in the Birthday Honours List of 1926. On 15 October 1926, over two hundred friends and former students attended a dinner held in his honour at the Hotel Victoria to celebrate the award, with Viscount Cave (who was Lord Chancellor and also Chancellor of Oxford University) presiding. Other guests included Viscount Lee, Sir Maurice Hankey (the Cabinet Secretary), the sculptor Sir George Frampton, the civil servant Ernest Gowers (who had been educated at Rugby when James was headmaster) and the MP Sir James Agg-Gardner. Austen Chamberlain (the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and a governor of Rugby School) spoke, along with representatives of the other schools with which he had been associated. Lord Cave praised James's directness in his opinions and decisions, his weighty judgment, his high character and his kindly nature. He said that membership of the Companionship of Honour had been given only to a few who had rendered "special social service" to the country, and he rejoiced that James had been "enrolled" in this "select band". He added that St John's College and Oxford University owed James a "debt of gratitude" for his "wise advice and guidance". James, he said, "had never dealt in the fine shades, or in the analysis of tendencies, or the exploration of avenues. Whatever was right had to be done. Whatever was wrong he fought with all his might."

Marlborough School paid tribute to James through a poem by Charles Larcom Graves.  One stanza was later quoted in the obituary of James published by The Times:

Chamberlain said that James had had a "remarkable scholastic career" and had exercised a "great and powerful influence" in the schools that he had served, leaving behind "a memory dear to all who had known him".  He said that James was regarded as "one of the greatest and most forceful characters who had ever devoted himself to education." The dinner itself was reported as a news item in The Times on the following day, with a list of the principal attendees and summaries of the main speeches, and of James's response, in which he said that he regarded the honour he had received as one bestowed on teaching.

Works and interests

His publications included an edition with English notes of Cicero's Pro Plancio (1871) and a collection of sermons from his time at Rossall School, published as School Ideals (1887). He was very highly regarded as a preacher, being appointed as Select Preacher for Oxford University in 1894, 1897 and 1900; he was said to be "undoubtedly one of the best preachers of his day, at school and elsewhere". He was a keen cricketer and golfer, and had been captain of the Lincoln College XI when a student there. He was also said to have been a useful member of the St John's College XI, both for his batting and his slow bowling. The story was told at the 1926 dinner in his honour that he had taught A G Steel how to bowl a "twister", and that Steel had gone on to take many wickets in test matches against the Australians as a result. He was devoted to philately and had what was regarded as one of the best stamp collections in England. On his death, it was estimated as being worth between £5,000 and £6,000 (approximately £ to £ as of ), despite the fact that he had dispersed much of his collection before his death.

Death and memorials

James died at St John's College on 15 November 1931 at the age of 87. After a funeral service at St Giles's Church, Oxford, he was buried in Wolvercote Cemetery. In his will, he left £2,000 to the Church in Wales and £200 to the Rector of St Mary's Church, Panteg, to maintain the graves of his parents and for church work in the parish. He also left money to his old school in Abergavenny, Lincoln College, St John's College and the schools at which he had been headmaster. He also left a sum to the Royal Philatelic Society. After other various bequests, he left the residue of his estate to his brother for life – as James had never married, his brother was his next of kin. After his brother's death, his estate was to pass to St John's College to assist undergraduates and to support the work of the choir.

James had been presented with a gold watch and chain when leaving his position as headmaster of Rossall School in 1886. These were sold after his death, and were donated back to Rossall School by the purchaser (a former student of the school) for the use of future headmasters. A memorial tablet to James was erected in 1933 in the chapel of Rossall School; it was unveiled by Lord Derby, president of the Rossall School Corporation. A oak chancel screen was also erected as a memorial to James in St Mary's Church, Panteg, with the unveiling in 1935 being carried out by Lord Trevethin, a friend of James since childhood. Rugby School erected the James Pavilion in his memory, which was opened in 1937 with Sir Pelham Warner, an Old Rugbeian, paying tribute to James's love of cricket.

Eirik Lae Solberg (born 3 April 1971) is a Norwegian politician for the Conservative Party. He has served as the governing mayor of Oslo since 2023 and was previously the Oslo City Commissioner for Finance from 2014 to 2015. Lae Solberg has also been a deputy member of parliament for Oslo since 2021, having previously done so between 1993 and 1997 for Buskerud.

Education
Solberg holds a bachelor's degree in economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and a master's degree in European history and politics from the University of Cambridge.

Political career

Local politics
Solberg was elected to the Oslo City Council in 2007, and led the committee on finance and the Conservative group from 2009 to 2013.

In 2014, he was appointed city commissioner for finance, a post he held until the Conservative coalition lost the 2015 local elections.

He was the Oslo Conservative Party's candidate for Governing Mayor in the 2019 local elections. He lost the election to incumbent Raymond Johansen, and resigned as the Conservatives' group leader. He did however retain his council seat.

On 1 July 2022, he was again chosen as the Oslo Conservatives' candidate for Governing Mayor for the 2023 local elections. The Conservative block won a majority in the following election, and the Conservatives initially sought to form a new city government with the Liberal Party, Christian Democrats and the Progress Party, but these negotiations collapsed and the Conservatives then sought to form a minority government with only the Liberal Party. The Progress Party had also ruled out a cooperation agreement with a new city government, citing they would not support a government they weren't a part of. However, they later backtracked and agreed to negotiate a cooperation agreement with the Conservatives and Liberals. The parties presented their platform on 24 October. He and his city government succeeded the Johansen government the following day.

Parliament
He served as a deputy representative to the Norwegian Parliament from Buskerud from 1993 to 1997. He was re-elected as a deputy representative in the 2021 election, this time for Oslo. He met as permanent representative for Nikolai Astrup from 1 to 14 October 2021 at the end of the Solberg Cabinet's tenure.

Government
During the second cabinet Bondevik, Solberg was political advisor in the Ministry of Trade and Industry from 2001 to March 2004, and State Secretary in the Ministry of Work Affairs and Administration (renamed Ministry of Modernization in June 2004) from March 2004 to 2005. In the elections that year, the second cabinet Bondevik fell, thus Solberg lost his position. He was appointed state secretary in the Ministry of Trade and Fisheries in 2013 and held the post until 2014.

Non-politics
In 2020, Lae Solberg was hired to work for Deloitte as a strategic consultant for the public sector.

Personal life
Lae Solberg is married to Hanna Rommerud, with whom he has one son.

Hieronim Dekutowski (noms de guerre "Zapora", "Odra", "Rezu", "Stary", "Henryk Zagon", 24 September 1918 – 7 March 1949) was a Polish boy scout and soldier, who fought in Polish September Campaign, was a member of the elite forces Cichociemni, fought in the Home Army and after World War II, fought the communist regime as one of commanders of Wolność i Niezawisłość.

Early years

Dekutowski was born 24 September 1918 in Dzików (now a part of Tarnobrzeg). He was the youngest of nine kids of Jan Dekutowski, patriotic member of Polish Socialist Party and follower of Józef Piłsudski. His mother Maria (née Sudacka), did not work and stayed at home, taking care of the kids. The family was very patriotic, Hieronim's older brother died in the Polish-Soviet War in 1920.

Young Dekutowski between 1930 and 1938 attended Middle School and High School of Hetman Jan Tarnowski in Tarnobrzeg. At the same time, he was a member of local branch of Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego, where he was a leader of a group of teenagers, as well as Catholic organization Sodality of the Blessed Virgin. After graduation and failing final exams (May 1938), Dekutowski worked for Count Artur Tarnowski, one of the biggest landowners in the 1930s Poland. In May 1939 Dekutowski finally completed his high school education, passing all final exams. He wanted to study at the University of Jan Kazimierz, but German and Soviet invasion on Poland made it impossible.

September 1939 and escape to the West
At the beginning of September 1939, Dekutowski together with a sister evacuated to Lwów. His exact role in the Polish September Campaign has not been established; he volunteered to the Polish Army and fought in the Battle of Lwów (1939). On 17 September 1939, finding out about Soviet aggression on Eastern Poland, he crossed the Hungarian border, together with a group of soldiers. After escaping from an internment camp, across Yugoslavia and Hungary, he got to France, where volunteered to the Polish Army in France (1940) and was assigned to the 2nd Division of Infantry Rifles.

In the spring of 1940, Dekutowski attended a military academy in Coetquidan, but he did not complete the course due to Battle of France. During this conflict, he fought near Swiss border, and after capitulation of France, he escaped to Switzerland, from where he reached Great Britain. There, in late 1941 he was promoted with distinctions to the rank of officer and congratulated by Prime Minister Stanislaw Mikołajczyk. At first Dekutowski served at a tank battalion, but later was transferred to the Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade. On 24 April 1942, he volunteered to go to Poland.

Back in Poland

On 4 March 1943, Dekutowski was sworn as a member of the Cichociemni by Colonel Michal Protasewicz. After a few more months, in the night of 16/17 September 1943, during "Operation Neon 1", he was dropped on a parachute, together with other Cichociemni - Bronisław Rachwał and Kazimierz Smolak. They landed in the area of Wyszków, but Dekutowski was soon afterwards sent to Lublin, where he became member of Kedyw of Lublin's Home Army District.

Dekutowski distinguished himself during several successful skirmishes with German occupiers, who at that time were resettling Poles from the area of Zamość, replacing them with German settlers. He helped save a number of Jews, also liquidated pro-Nazi collaborators. His unit attacked German villages, fought Wehrmacht troops, but also punished ordinary criminals.

In January 1944, Dekutowski became commandant of Kedyw of the Lublin - Puławy area. He ordered six smaller Kedyw units to join forces, thus creating a strong, mobile regiment, capable of shock attacks on German outposts and troops. According to historians, his unit carried out more than 80 attacks on Germans in the first six months of 1944. The biggest skirmish took place on 24 May, near the village of Krężnica Okrągła. Dekutowski's unit attacked a German column, consisting of sixteen trucks filled with soldiers and SS. The Germans lost some 50 men and a lot of equipment. On 17 July 1944, Dekutowski was wounded in a hand, but managed to recover in time for Operation Tempest. He wanted to come to help fighting Warsaw, but did not succeed with crossing the Vistula.

Anti-Communist resistance
In early 1945 Dekutowski decided to continue hiding and fight against Communists. One of main reasons for decision was an incident which took place in the village of Chodel, on the night of 5/6 February 1945. A communist commandant of precinct of Urząd Bezpieczeństwa in Chodel named Abram Tauber, who had been saved by Dekutowski and his men during the war, invited four members of the Home Army to his headquarters. They went there, confident that they would be safe given that they saved Tauber's life. Instead, Tauber tied their hands and shot all four.

As a reprisal, Dekutowski destroyed Tauber's headquarters, and soon afterward a local war began. "Zapora" was wounded in a leg in one skirmish, but managed to escape towards the area of Tarnobrzeg. In the spring of 1945 he organized several bold attacks on Communists, among them:

 on 26 April, his unit seized the town of Janów Lubelski, liquidating several agents and releasing Home Army members from prison,
 in May he attacked Urząd Bezpieczeństwa office in Bełżyce Kazimierz Dolny, killing 5 agents and 2 Soviet officers.

In June, Dekutowski, promoted to major, retreated towards the Janowska Wilderness and put away weapons, telling soldiers to give up fighting and return to homes. However, without any guarantees of safety, he decided to escape to Western Europe with a small party of people. He managed to reach American Consulate in Prague, but had to return as the Americans refused to help.

In late 1945 and early 1946, Dekutowski organized several attacks on Communist outposts in southeastern Poland, during which up to 400 Communist soldiers and agents were killed. He would also attack villages which were sympathetic towards the Communists, such as Moniaki, where on 24 September 1946, he whipped 40 Communists. In early 1947, when the government declared amnesty, he planned to give up fighting, but found out that several of his men had been arrested and continued hiding in the woods until mid-1947.

Capture and death

In September 1947 "Zapora" once again tried to escape to the West, but was caught in Nysa. Taken to the infamous Mokotów Prison in Warsaw, he was tortured and beaten during the investigation. The show trial of Dekutowski and his soldiers took place on 3 November 1948. To humiliate the accused, they were dressed in Wehrmacht uniforms. On 15 November, the court presided over by Judge Jozef Badecki (who had previously sentenced Witold Pilecki to death) sentenced Dekutowski to seven deaths. "Zapora", together with six other soldiers, was executed on 7 March 1949. According to witnesses, even though he was 30 at the moment of death, he looked like an elderly man, without teeth and nails, with grey hair, broken ribs, nose and hands. ‘We shall never surrender!’ he yelled sending his last message to his fellow prisoners.

Aftermath
Dekutowski, and his men, were buried in an unknown location. His symbolic tomb is located at the Military Cemetery in Lublin. His sentence was voided by District Court in Warsaw on 23 May 1994.

Hieronim Dekutowski, and his six soldiers remains were found in the summer of 2012, at the headquarters " Ł " at the Powązki Military Cemetery in Warsaw.

27 September 2015 Major " Zapora " was solemnly buried in the pantheon - the mausoleum of cursed soldiers on Warsaw's Powązki

Sixpoint Brewery is a brewery founded 2004, in Red Hook, Brooklyn, New York, USA.
The Sixpoint logo is a combination of the brewer's hexagram and the nautical star. The company's motto is Beer is Culture, a play on the cultural significance of beer and brewing, as well as the point that yeast is, in fact, a culture. Sixpoint ascribes to a "Mad Science" approach to brewing through a use of ingredients and techniques.

History

Sixpoint was founded in 2004 by Andrew Bronstein and Shane Welch who met as classmates at the University of Wisconsin. Bronstein grew up in Manhattan and provided the cash investment needed to lease facilities and begin brewing. Welch, a former homebrewer who grew up in Milwaukee created the initial recipes. The microbrewery is located in a  factory in Red Hook that formerly manufactured filing cabinets.

In November 2018, Sixpoint was acquired by Artisanal Brewing Ventures, which already owned Southern Tier and Victory.

Brand

Sixpoint began business by only distributing kegs to local bars and restaurants; instead of bottling its beer, filling growlers at bars was the only way for customers to drink the beer at their homes. Sixpoint now distributes its beer in regions throughout the country. They began canning their beer in June 2011, and began releasing seasonals the following fall. Sixpoint currently brews 4 beers year round; The Crisp (Pilz) Sweet Action (Ale) Bengali (IPA) and Resin (IIPA).

During the summer of 2014, beginning with a beer called Rad, Sixpoint began their "Cycliquids" Series en lieu of a Seasonal Program. Their unique beer releases were no longer season based, but released as they see fit.

As part of the program, Sixpoint released Sensi, a Wet Hop beer, in September 2014. Hi-Res, a Triple IPA, was released in January 2014, and re-released under the Cycliquids Portfolio in January 2015. Beast Mode Porter was released in January 2015, followed by Abigale Belgian Ale in March of that year. Jammer Gose, a salty and tart beer, came out summer of 2015.

In motor racing, BTC Touring (BTC-T) was the set of new regulations for the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) introduced in 2001 BTCC, after the demise of the Supertouring category.

The cars were based on standard bodyshells, but were allowed significant modifications to turn the car into a racecar and differentiate it from the Super Production class that would run alongside BTC Touring in the 2001 BTCC.

Models
In chronological order of their appearances, the cars were:

BTC-T Vauxhall Astra Coupe
BTC-T Peugeot 406 Coupe
BTC-T Alfa Romeo 147
BTC-T Lexus IS200
BTC-T MG ZS EX259
BTC-T Honda Civic Type-R
BTC-T Proton Impian
BTC-T Peugeot 307
BTC-T Vauxhall Vectra
BTC-T Vauxhall Astra Sport Hatch
BTC-T Honda Integra Type R

Gallery

History
A year after the regulations began, the European Touring Car Championship launched its Super 2000 regulations. As the latter allowed manufacturers to have their cars seen internationally, most major companies opted for this, meaning that the BTCC suffered from small grids. In 2004, TOCA allowed Super 2000 cars to compete, with rules designed to equalise the performance of both classes. BTC-T cars were eventually made ineligible to win the main championship from 2007.

The 2010 season was meant to be the last year BTC Touring cars would be eligible to enter the championship, however they were allowed to compete for one more season in 2011, with their base-weight +50 kg on 2010.

Eastwind was a music festival held in 2008 which was planned to be held annually in India garnering participation from all the major bands and artists in the country. The criterion was Original Contemporary Music and artists performed over three days and through parallel stages from morning till night.

The festival
The recent years (since 2000) have seen increased recognition, visibility and surge in popularity of contemporary original music in India. In spite of that, the world’s perception of Indian music is still subjected to stereotypes, typically Bollywood.

New Delhi plays host to a large number of the nation’s most popular live acts. With Indian bands and their music getting popular and bands being invited to perform abroad, Eastwind creates a single-point showcase that recognises and presents this talent as an entertainment experience.

The idea of a large-scale music festival in India was pathbreaking and the participation of the most popular bands in the country was the main crowd-pulling element of the festival. Prospect Advisory & Management, who visualized and created this festival, were so swamped with requests for participation that they even had to postpone the first event in order to get through all the demos and applications.

The second edition was postponed from October 2009 to January 2010 before being cancelled.

In May 2013, Linfield confirmed that they had signed Waterworth on a two-year contract. On his Linfield debut, Waterworth broke a bone in his leg which side-lined the striker for two months. However, he eventually made his league debut for Linfield on 14 September 2013, scoring a hat-trick in a 4–1 win against Ballymena United at Windsor Park, and went on to score 11 goals in his first eleven league appearances to put his side top the table. His first trophy with the Blues arrived in the form of the 2013–14 County Antrim Shield, after a penalty shoot-out victory over Crusaders in the final.

Glenavon
On 30 May 2021, it was announced that Waterworth, alongside team-mates Mark Haughey and Mark Stafford, had signed for Glenavon on the expiry of their contracts at Linfield. Waterworth made his Glenavon debut coming on as a sub in a 1–1 draw with Portadown, and scored his first goals for the club a week later, notching a brace in a 6–1 victory over Warrenpoint Town.

It was announced on 2 July 2022 that Waterworth had retired from football.

International career
Waterworth was called up to the Northern Ireland under-21 side in January 2008. In total he won seven under-21 caps and scored two goals.

Managerial career
On 16 March 2023, it was announced Waterworth would take charge of the Northern Ireland women's team on an interim basis. Waterworth managed the team for a 4-1 defeat against Wales on 6 April 2023.

KQKD (1380 AM) is a radio station in Redfield, South Dakota (licensed to serve Redfield).  The station is licensed to Gray Ghost Broadcasting. It airs a full service format.

The station was assigned these call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on June 4, 1979.

History
On November 16, 1986, a fire destroyed a block of buildings in Redfield, including the studios of KQKD. Four other businesses were destroyed in the fire that left 20 people homeless and killed a 17-month-old girl. The wire story in the San Jose Mercury News included a note that the radio station was then celebrating its 25th anniversary.

In June 1997, station owner Roberts Radio of Pleasantville, New York, told the Aberdeen American News that old equipment at KQKD had been replaced in an effort to improve the sound of the station's programming.

In October 2004, KQKD was acquired by Aberdeen Radio Ranch Inc. (Robert J. Ingstad, co-president) from Robert E. Ingstad as part of a reorganization by the Ingstad family. This deal also included stations KGIM, KGIM-FM, and KNBZ-FM. The price for this four-station deal was undisclosed. According to Broadcasting & Cable, at this time KQKD carried a Country music/Talk radio format.

In November 2004, Aberdeen Radio Ranch reached separate agreements to sell KQAA-FM to the Educational Media Foundation, and KKAA (1560 AM) and KQKD (1380 AM) to Family Stations, Inc.

Effective October 31, 2017 Robert Ingstad's KKAA, LLC acquired KQKD and KKAA from Family Stations for $85,000. KKAA, LLC subsequently sold the station to sister company I3G Radio, LLC for $25,000 effective January 31, 2018.

On January 6, 2020, KQKD changed their format from classic hits to classic country, branded as "Pure Country 107.1 & 99.9".

On April 15, 2021, KQKD was acquired by Gray Ghost Broadcasting. The owners of Gray Ghost are Denise and Ron Schacht former owners of WDLS 93.7 of Dallas, Pennsylvania (now WSJR). KQKD was changed from a music intensive format to a full service station. While there is music, it is used as a fill in between features. The music is a combination of country, from the 60's through current and popular music from the 50's through the 90's without disco or rap. Special music programs are composed of Sunday morning hymns, a big band hour and the two hour syndicated Sounds of Sinatra. Farm markets and Dakota News Network are carried daily with a good deal of emphasis on farm and ranch news including Adams on Agriculture. The station also carries Red Eye Radio overnights, a few conservative talk shows at night, an outdoor show and garden shows. Additionally, local high school sports is broadcast, KQKD is the "Voice of the Redfield Pheasants". The station features several  local residents and representatives of local organizations to discuss items of interest to the listeners including local obituaries.

Since the only newspaper is a weekly, the radio station fills in the remainder of the week as a source of information. In a nutshell it is 1950's AM radio.  The AM station has a very large service area, an approximate 100 mile radius due to the excellent ground conductivity in eastern South Dakota 30. The FM translator operates at 250 watts and has a coverage radius of about 25 miles from the transmitter site.The studio is located at 620 Main St. in Redfield in Suite 8 of the Plaza.The transmitter is located approximately 1 mile north of Redfield near US route 281

Full service radio stations are stations that are not strictly formatted with a specialized program, such as Country, Top 40, Adult Contemporary, Alternative Rock, Talk or Sports. These stations are a mix of all formats but heavily leaning toward extreme localism and serving the local communities. They are usually operated by live staff as opposed to most music and talk stations which are "voice tracked" ,meaning that the announcer comes in and spends 20 minutes recording his "show" by inserting small voice comments between selected songs. Most talk and sports stations , receive syndicated programming from satellite services with very little local involvement. Generally full service stations are on the AM dial but some can be found on FM and generally they are locally owned as many of the larger conglomerates have all but given up on AM radio. The full service stations concern themselves with anything of a local interest such as high school sports, obituaries, farm news and markets if in a rural area, lost dogs, etc, local news, local guests such as mayors, police ,librarians, and anything involving raising money for non profits. Many also run call in type programs such as your opinion shows, swap shops, and the like. You frequently find these stations in small towns that either have no newspaper or a weekly paper and the station fills in the gaps of information for the residents. In most cases the radio station is a companion to the residents and the station personnel are called on to MC local events and help fund raising events, grand openings etc.

Pennsport is a string band in Philadelphia's annual Mummers Parade. They are one of two new groups added to the parade in 2008.

They have taken a new approach to mummering: keeping expenses low, paying out of pocket and avoiding fund-raising and weekly jobs to fund their march.

Most of the members were previously in other string bands. All 60 members are over 40 and because of family and job obligations wanted to be in the Parade without making it a year-round commitment.

They are self-financed, paying dues of $325 each for a total of just under $20,000, roughly one fifth of what a typical string band spends. Lacking the usual clubhouse, they meet in a room over a local pub. Along with their non-traditional funding comes a unique structure: they are the only string band that does not have a captain.

Mummers Parade Director Leo Dignam said, "I kind of like that trend. Some of the people are getting sick of all the money involved and the practice, and they just want to keep the tradition. These old guys just want to have fun."

In 2008, for their first parade, they were led up the street by U.S. Representative Bob Brady and Mayor-elect Michael Nutter. While the other bands played at the six mandatory points along the route, Pennsport chose to also play while they marched, filling in some of the dead areas of a long route.

Branding is an easy and economical way to permanently mark anything that burns (wood, leather, plastic, rubber, cork, food, soap, wax, etc). This is done by either a fire-heated tool or an electrically-heated tool, which is pressed onto the object, leaving behind a mark with the shape of the impressed tool.

The act or art of marking/engraving wood by branding with a heated tool is associated with pyrogravure.

The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration warns that, “Breathing these particles may cause allergic respiratory symptoms, mucosal and non-allergic respiratory symptoms, and cancer.”

The Vauxhall Astra Coupe is a BTC-Touring class racing car that was built for the 2001 British Touring Car Championship season by Triple 8 Race Engineering, who ran Vauxhall's official works program. It was the first BTC Touring-specification car to be unveiled in late 2000. Triple 8 had worked on the Astra in the summer of that year and as a result, with 4 cars - 2 with Vauxhall sponsorship (driven by Jason Plato and Yvan Muller) and 2 with Egg Banking sponsorship (driven by James Thompson, Phil Bennett, and a one-off appearance by Andy Priaulx) had given themselves a head start on the rest of the field at the start of the 2001 season. In the end, it was far more advanced in its development than anything else in the field, allowing to win 25 out of 26 races in 2001 (although the only non-Vauxhall win was a non-points scoring victory by Anthony Reid for MG, so they picked up maximum constructors points in every race). A 3-way battle for the championship lasted throughout the season, with Jason Plato emerging victorious by 18 points. In fact, so dominant were the cars that the lowest placed Astra driver, Phil Bennett, who finished 4th in the Driver's Championship, was 58 points clear of the next driver.

In 2002, the Astra Coupes proved less reliable, with multiple problems and failures for all 4 works drivers throughout the season. Triple Eight once again entered 2 Vauxhall-sponsored and 2 Egg-sponsored Astra's - with James Thompson replacing the departing Plato in the Vauxhall Motorsport car, and Matt Neal and Paul O'Neill replacing him and Bennett in the egg:sport cars. Despite the multitude of technical issues, a full time MG campaign, and the debut of both Honda and Proton, Vauxhall won a clean sweep of the titles again, with all of the top 3 positions in the Driver's Championship filled by drivers of the cars - Thompson this time finishing the victor, by 20 points. Aaron Slight also came second in the Independent's Cup in his first and only full BTCC season. The car's dominance in 2001 meant that the Astras were limited to only 70% throttle during qualifying for 2002; with the exception of Matt Neal's car, which was limited to 67% throttle due to the large size of his feet.

2003 saw Triple Eight lose the Egg sponsorship, and instead expanded to a 3 car Vauxhall-run team. Matt Neal departed for Honda Racing, but O'Neill was retained, and thus moved into the Vauxhall Motorsports car. The team again won the drivers, manufacturers and teams award and even added the Independents Cup with Rob Collard. This time, the top 2 positions in the Driver's Championship went to Astra drivers - Muller taking the championship by 34 points.

2004 would be the last season the Astra Coupes were used by the works Vauxhall team. Thompson and Muller would this time be partnered by Luke Hines, who replaced O'Neill. Despite the arrival of SEAT with former champion Jason Plato, and strengthened Honda and MG efforts, they were unable to break the dominance of the Vauxhall, which again won the drivers, manufacturers and teams championships. Once more, James Thompson was the champion, this time edging a close title fight by just 1 point ahead of Muller. In fact, despite the strengthened works teams that had come into the BTCC since 2001, the gap still remained huge - Muller finished the season 49 points ahead of the nearest challenger.

Later career
For 2005 and 2006 the Astra Coupes were used sporadically by several independent drivers; it had little success, being outpaced by the more consistently utilised cars. After two years without an entry, the car returned to the series in 2009,  in the hands of Martin Johnson, who scored 2 points in his first season. The 2010 saw the last entry of the Astra Coupe, again in Johnson's hands, and it achieved a 9th place in its final season at Rockingham. The car still saw action in 2011 in the UAE.

The Grand River Valley AVA is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) spread across portions of the Lake, Geauga and  Ashtabula counties of northeastern Ohio located  east of Cleveland.  The appellation was established on October 20, 1983, by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) of the Department of Treasury and is the largest AVA in the state. The viticultural area lies entirely within the larger, multi-state Lake Erie AVA.  The area is approximately  and the established inland boundary at any point is about  inland from the shore east of  Ohio Route 45 and  from the shore west of Ohio Route 45. It stretches over the land within , in any direction, of the Grand River from its origin near West Farmington to the point where it flows into Lake Erie encompassing  inland from any point on its shoreline.

History
The name "Grand River" was assigned by early explorers and settlers to the river called "Sheauga" or "Geauga" by the indigenous natives. This Indian word actually means "raccoon" but was so widely  misinterpreted that the name "Grand River" has applied to the river since the early nineteenth century.  Ohio has a rich heritage as a wine producing state. Its viticultural history dates back to the 1800s, and at the turn of the 20th century there was a thriving wine industry along the shores of the lake making the region as the nation's number one wine producer. Prohibition led to the decimation of the Grand River Valley's vineyards in the 1920s, but the development of cold-hardy hybrids sparked a resurgence of winemaking for the area in the latter half of the 20th Century. Ohio contains the second largest wine appellation of origin in the United States.

Terroir

Geography and Climate
The Grand River Valley was formed when glaciers carved out the Great Lakes and deposited a ridge of fertile soil ideal for the cultivation of vineyards. Lake Erie has a moderating effect on climates of the Ohio south shore, extending the growing season in Ohio's "fruit belt." Along the Ohio River in southwest Ohio, the climate, soils and geography enabled this region to produce quality domestic wines.
Like the Mosel, Bordeaux and the Sonoma/Russian River Valley,  the rolling landscape of the Grand River Valley benefits from a climate moderated by the thermal effects of a large water mass, in this case, Lake Erie to the north. It is an added bonus that Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes, meaning that it is also the warmest. The lake freezes in the winter and the late spring thaw prevents unseasonal warm spells in late winter and early spring. The lake's protection against spring frost damage and the delay of the first autumn frost defines the growing season.  For commercial viticulture in this region, a growing season of 165 days is considered minimal and 180 days is preferable, and that the winter minimum temperature should infrequently fall below minus  and almost never below minus  depending on the distance inland from the lake shore.  The petition proposal noted,  "Temperature is the first consideration in selecting the location of a vineyard. It involves length of growing season, as well as magnitude and frequency of winter minimums. Temperature requirements must be satisfied for a site to be considered." The growing season micro-climate is characterized as warm, sunny days and cool nights.

Air Drainage
Air drainage is a geographical feature affecting viticulture which is found in any river valley. It is manifested by the tendency of cool air to sink along the surrounding topography and drain to the
surface of the water. This phenomenon draws warmer air closer to the ground and reduces the incidence of frost damage. Air drainage distinguishes the Grand River Valley viticultural area from the Lake Erie viticultural area which surrounds it on all sides except at the inland boundary of the lake's climate influence. The boundary of the Grand River Valley viticultural area is established as any point which is two miles, in any direction, from the river, the approximate point where the air drainage feature is dissipated.

Soil and Rainfall
Over the millennia, strong, slow glaciations sculpted the landscape, exposing some rock types and covering up others. The bedrock is composed of older sedimentary mixed with igneous and metamorphic rocks in the subsurface. The common Ohio soil composition is an irregular veneer of Quaternary-age sediments of gravel, sand, clay and slit pushed up by glaciers during the formation of Lake Erie mixed with a windblown loess. The region offers winemakers a generous hoard of viticultural sites with a southeast aspect, where the vines can soak up the morning sun, and good air drainage further reduces the risk of frost.  Rainfall is higher in the Grand River Valley than in other areas of Ohio, but the region's sand and gravel-based topsoil are free draining and efficiently disperse excess water. Much of the land slopes northeast towards the lake, letting the grapes catch early morning sun, but avoid afternoon heating. The hillsides promote water drainage from the vine's roots preventing oversaturation which dilutes the concentration of flavor, sugar and other quality attributes in the grapes.

Wine Industry
The ATF petition proposal was the result of a petition submitted by Mr. Anthony P. Debevc, President of Chalet Debonne Vineyards, Inc., a winery located in Madison, Ohio. A huge range of cool-climate grape varieties and wine styles are produced in the Grand River Valley by ten wineries and seven vineyards cultivating over . Vitis vinifera varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc Syrah and Merlot are joined in the vineyards by Franco-American hybrids such as Chambourcin, Vidal Blanc and Traminette.  The recognition of Ohio's wine producing areas benefits the state's tourism as the Ohio Department of Natural Resources does its part to foster this important resource.

The fourteenth edition of the Caribbean Series (Serie del Caribe) baseball tournament was played in 1971. It was held from February 6 through February 11 with the champions teams from Dominican Republic, Tigres del Licey; Mexico, Naranjeros de Hermosillo; Puerto Rico, Cangrejeros de Santurce, and Venezuela, Tiburones de La Guaira. The format consisted of 12 games, each team facing the other teams twice, and the games were played at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico, which boosted its capacity to 18,000 seats. The first pitch was thrown by Bowie Kuhn, by then the Commissioner of Major League Baseball.

Summary
Dominican Republic captured the competition with an undefeated record of 6-0, behind a strong effort by manager Manny Mota, who also led the Series hitters with a .579 batting average (11-for-19) and won Most Valuable Player honors. The pitching support came from Chris Zachary (2-0), Reggie Cleveland (1-0), and  reliever Pedro Borbón (1-0, two saves). Other key players for Licey included Jim Beauchamp, Carmen Fanzone, César Gerónimo, Elvio Jiménez and Rafael Robles.

Puerto Rico, Mexico and Venezuela shared second place with a 2-4 record.

Puerto Rico's team, managed by Frank Robinson,  was a huge favorite to win the Series, thanks to a roster loaded with prominent players like Sandy Alomar Sr., Don Baylor, Elrod Hendricks, Reggie Jackson, Mike Kekich, Buck Martinez, Jerry Morales, Tony Pérez, Juan Pizarro, but the team faded just after the first half.

For the first time, a representing team of Mexico took part in this tournament. Hermosillo was guided by Maury Wills and the offensive support came from Celerino Sánchez, who led the Series hitters in home runs (3) and RBI (9). Other noted players were Ed Acosta, Bobby Darwin, Héctor Espino, Francisco Estrada, Jim Ray, Sergio Robles, Vicente Romo and  Zoilo Versalles.

Graciano Ravelo managed the Venezuela club, which was clearly led by Pat Kelly (.381 BA, 2 HR, .714 slugging) and Ángel Bravo (7-for-21, .333 BA), while Leo Cárdenas hit .409 (9-for-22) for an otherwise weak offense, bottomed out by Ed Spiezio (3-for-19, .158 BA), José Cardenal (4-for-22, .182 BA) and Enzo Hernández (6-for-23, .264). George Lauzerique (1-0, 1.64 ERA, 7 SO) was a high point in a pitching rotation headed by Larry Gura (0-1, 4.00), Steve Barber (0-2, 5.56) and Aurelio Monteagudo (0-1, 9.58). Orlando Peña (1-0, 3.00 ERA) provided a solid support in three relief appearances.

Central Radio is a British Independent Local Radio serving The Fylde, Preston, Leyland and Chorley areas of Lancashire.

The station launched on 25 September 2008, having changed its name prior to launch from Proud FM, derived from Proud Preston on the city shield to Central Radio in order to better reflect the transmission area.

Ownership history

UTV
Central Radio launched on 25 September 2008. Following Ofcom relaxations on local programming requirements, the station began taking UTV Radio's networked evening and overnight shows in late March 2009.

On 16 December 2009, it was announced by owners UTV Media that the station would be closing on Christmas Eve of that year (24 December) and the station's broadcasting licence returned to the UK broadcasting regulator, Ofcom. UTV cited the unfortunate launch of the station in the midst of a recession as a primary reason for the decision, and the station's consequent unprofitability. UTV did not anticipate the station becoming viable for the foreseeable future, saying:

Niocom
On 24 December 2009, the day that Central Radio was scheduled to close, it was announced that a buyer had been found, revealed to be competitor Niocom in January 2010. The company also operated the neighbouring Southport station Dune FM at the time of the sale. On 12 January 2010, the station co-emplaced and began to share resources with sister station Dune FM.

A month later, OFCOM granted permission for Central Radio to co-locate with sister station Dune FM in Southport. Programme management, production, administrative, engineering and management resources were to be shared between the two stations, but the programming on Central Radio remained editorially focused on the Preston, Leyland and Chorley areas.

In December 2010, Niocom sold Dune FM, and from 1 February 2011 the programming syndication ended with Central Radio becoming as a fully independent service.

UKRD
On 14 June 2011 it was announced that UKRD, owners of the 107 The Bee in neighbouring Blackburn had purchased the Central Radio licence and planned to merge the service with its East Lancashire station 107 The Bee.

Three days later, Central Radio ceased broadcasting with Drivetime presenter - Leyland born Andy Hilbert - playing the final record, Unforgettable by Nat King Cole. On 1 July 2011, 106.5fm became a simulcast of The Bee but with local news and adverts.

Relaunch in 2022
On the 1st September 2022 Central Radio relaunched across the Fylde Coast broadcasting from the new Blackpool MUX at the top of Blackpool Tower. The station launched with a number of familiar former local radio presenters.

The A481 is a road in Powys, Wales, which connects with the A483 road, not far from the A470 road at Llanelwedd, Builth Wells and leads to the A44 road near Llanfihangel Nant Melan. It is the main road leading to the A44 which connects Builth to Leominster and Hereford across the border with England.

Route
The A481 is a short, windy hill road about  long orientated from southwest to northeast. Its southwesterly terminus is with the A483 at Llanelwedd, half a mile north of Builth Wells, and just beside the site of the Royal Welsh Showground. The route runs on the north side of the Wye Valley, with the hills of Carneddau and Gilwern Hill to the left and further on, Little Hill and Gwalin-Ceste Hill to the right. At a sharp left bend a mile from Builth Wells, the B4567 branches off to the right, continuing down the left bank of the River Wye, parallel with the A470 on the other bank. The A481 now departs from the River Wye and rises up in the valley formed by a tributary, before descending again to the River Edw. Several unclassified roads fork off to the left, several going to the village of Llansantffraed-in-Elvel and continuing on to Newbridge-on-Wye, crossing the A483 on the way. A pair of unclassified roads which subsequently join fork off to the right at the hamlet of Hundred House. This road continues over the hills through Glascwm to join the B4594 at the village of Gladestry very close to the English border. The northeasterly terminus of the A481 is on a stretch of the A44, the Worcester to Aberystwyth road, halfway between the villages of Llandegley and New Radnor and near to Llanfihangel Nant Melan.
