Empirical legal studies (ELS) is an approach to the study of law, legal procedure, and legal theory through the use of empirical research. Empirical legal researchers use research techniques that are typical of economics, psychology, and sociology; however, ELS research tends to be more focused on purely legal questions than the related fields of law and economics, legal psychology, and sociology of law.  ELS also tends to be more narrowly quantitative than fields such as law-and-society or new legal realism (NLR), which embrace qualitative and quantitative social science methods, as well as mixed method approaches.

In 2004, the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies was launched by the Society for Empirical Legal Studies and Cornell Law School, and within three years rose to be ranked 28th of the over 800 US law journals.

Venolyn "Miss Clarke" Clarke (born Venolyn Clarke; 11 July 1967, in Jamaica) is a former sprinter who specialized in the 100 metres. In 2001, Clarke held the position of the fourth fastest woman in Canada. Clarke's personal best time was 11.29 seconds, achieved in July 2001 in Ottawa, Ontario.

Sprinting career
Clarke reached the quarter-final at the 2001 World Championships, but got disqualified due to a failed drugs test.

It was later revealed that at a World Championships pre-camp, Clarke had tested positive for stanozolol. In an interview, she cried and repeatedly denied that she used any stanozolol. Clarke's coach, Clive Foster, also denied that Clarke used any stanozolol. Clarke was the first athlete to fail a drugs test at the 2001 World Championships. This caused Clake to get expelled from the world championships. Later, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport allowed her to compete again.

Saint-Vallier (; ) is a commune in the Drôme department in southeastern France. It is an administrative, commercial and industrial town at the confluence of the rivers Galaure and Rhone.

Geography
The town is situated on the banks of the Rhone,  north of Valence. The Galaure flows northwest through the southern part of the commune, crosses the town, then flows into the Rhone, which forms the commune's western border.

The town covers an area of  and has just over four thousand inhabitants.

It is the county town of the canton and is important as an administrative, industrial and commercial centre. It has developed in a linear fashion along the bank of the Rhone and has a catchment area of about fifteen thousand inhabitants. It has a number of factories and industrial units making aviation parts, ceramic insulators, nuclear taps, tiles and stationery.

History

Ancient Rome
The Roman town of Ursuli was built on this site at the confluence of the Galaure and the Rhone.

Middle Ages
The Château de Diane de Poitiers was built in the fifteenth century. It is flanked by corner towers that dominate the Galaure River. The château is surrounded by a landscaped garden designed by Le Nôtre. Château des Rioux is another ancient castle beside the three hectare Parc à l'Anglaise. It originally housed a religious community of monks but was rebuilt in the nineteenth century by Comte Dupeyroux de Salmagne. It offers accommodation in a gite and four guest chambers. The old city walls are still visible on the Place Orsolles and there is a covered market, built in 1852.

Modern
In the eighteenth century, feldspar and kaolin were found in the area and an industry grew up making hard-paste porcelain fired at a high temperature.

On August 16, 1944, 28 American B17s tried to destroy the railroad bridge, causing many deaths and damage to the south of the town.

More information on the history and the "Montrebut" paleontological site of Saint-Vallier is available in a dedicated room near the local council building.

Population

Fossil site
Near Saint-Vallier, on the "Montrebut" hill, there is a fossil bed that serves as a biostratigraphical reference locality. Flowing water has buried the remains of animals over many millennia and careful excavations can help paleontologists understand the relative ages of different rock strata according to the different fossil remains found. This is one of only two locations in which fossils of the extinct badger species Meles thorali have been found.

Personalities
Saint-Vallier is the birthplace of Diane de Poitiers, one of the most well-known of French royal mistresses, born in 1499. She became the favourite of Henry II of France and wielded much power until he was fatally wounded in 1559 in a jousting tournament and his widow, Catherine de' Medici, expelled her from the court.

Danny Óscar Garcia (born March 20, 1988) is an American professional boxer. He has held multiple world championships in two weight classes, including the unified WBA (Super), WBC, Ring magazine and lineal light welterweight titles between 2012 and 2015, and the WBC welterweight title from 2016 to 2017. As of August 2020, he is ranked as the world's sixth best active welterweight by The Ring, seventh by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, and eighth by BoxRec.

Early life
Garcia was born in North Philadelphia to Puerto Rican parents. His mother was from Bayamón and his father was from Naguabo. His father, Ángel, was also a boxer who introduced him to boxing, taking him to Philadelphia's Harrowgate Boxing Club when he was ten years old, which was the minimum age allowed by local law for a minor to train. Ángel has since been Danny's primary boxing coach. Having been raised in the city with the second-largest Puerto Rican community in the United States, Danny identified with his heritage, stating early in his career the desire to become the "next great Puerto Rican fighter".

Danny Garcia admired Boxing Hall of Famer Carlos Ortiz as his favorite boxer and considered Ortiz's fight against Lenny Matthews in Philadelphia among the most memorable he had ever witnessed. Garcia finished his amateur career with 107 wins 13 losses. Garcia was born with a sixth toe on his right foot which he was embarrassed of as a child, but jokingly says that it gives him a competitive advantage to stay on balance during fights.

Amateur highlights
 2006 U.S. national champion
 2005 Tammer Tournament champion
 2005 Under-19 national champion

Professional career

Light welterweight

Early career
Garcia made his professional debut on November 17, 2007, at the Borgata Hotel Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey against Mike Denby. He opened up by throwing power shots, but it was a short right that sent Denby to the canvas. Another right put Denby down again in a neutral corner. Garcia moved in for the knockout, and sent Denby down for the third and final time with a right-left combination. After the third knockdown, the referee waved the bout over. His next fight took place on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather Jr.–Ricky Hatton superfight on December 8, 2007, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Garcia defeated Jesús Villareal by second-round technical knockout. On January 11, 2008, at the Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa in Cabazon, California, Garcia defeated Marlo Córtez by second-round knockout. With precise accurate punches, he disabled Cortéz, dropping him with a left hook early in the second round, forcing the referee to stop the contest.

On March 15, 2008, at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Garcia fought Charles Wade. He utilized his speed and quickness to get close to Wade before blasting him with a left hook to knock him out.

In his fifth professional fight, Garcia fought Guadalupe Díaz, on April 19, 2008, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. He hurt Díaz early in the fight with a barrage of punches. The referee was forced to stop the fight after Díaz was on wobbly legs. His next fight took place on May 3, 2008, at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California against Julio Gamboa. Garcia was in command of the fight, using his fast hands and good power to win by unanimous decision. On the undercard of the Bernard Hopkins–Kelly Pavlik fight for the world middleweight championship at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Garcia stopped Dean Nash by technical knockout after three knockdowns in the third round.

He survived a tough fight with Ashley Theophane in February 2010, coming away with a split-decision victory. Garcia knocked out faded contender Mike Arnaoutis in four rounds later in the year. In his next contest held in April 2011, he defeated former lightweight titlist Nate Campbell. On August 15, 2011, Garcia won the vacant NABO Jr. welterweight belt in Los Angeles fighting on the HBO PPV undercard of Hopkins vs. Dawson II, on a split decision over former champion Kendall Holt.

Garcia vs. Morales I
It was announced that Garcia would get his first world title opportunity, challenging Mexican legend and Ring Top 10 light welterweight, Érik Morales (52-7, 36 KOs) for the WBC super lightweight championship in another chapter of the infamous "Puerto Rico vs. Mexico" boxing rivalry. The fight took place on March 24, 2012, at the Reliant Arena in Houston, Texas. The fight was originally scheduled to take place on January 28, but was postponed because Morales had emergency gallbladder surgery.

Morales came in two pounds over the contracted limit and was subsequently stripped by the WBC of his title. Thus, the title was only at stake for Garcia. Morales was fined $50,000 ($25,000 per pound) which was given to Garcia. Morales earned a $1 million purse, while Garcia was due to make $175,000. This increased to $225,000 following the fines levied against Morales. 5,590 was announced as the attendance for the night. Garcia began the fight slowly, which Morales used to his advantage and injured his nose. As the fight progressed, Garcia gained control, scoring a knockdown in the eleventh round before receiving a unanimous decision in his favor. The scores granted by the judges were 118–111, 117–110 and 116–112 in favour of Garcia. CompuBox statistics showed Garcia landing 238 of 779 punches (31%), and Morales landing 164 of 547 shots (30%).

Garcia vs. Khan
On 23 May 2012, ESPN announced that Garcia would next fight against the British boxer Amir Khan for the WBA (Super) title. At the pre-fight press conference on 4 June, Khan and Garcia's fathers got into a heated exchange resulting in both fighters promising to knock the other out on 14 July. At the time the fight was announced, WBC were unsure whether to sanction the fight, as Garcia had a mandatory defence due against Ajose Olusegun. The fight was scheduled to take place on 14 July 2012, in Las Vegas. The fight was a title unification bout, as Garcia's WBC title and Khan's WBA (Super) title were both on the line. Khan entered the fight as a heavy favorite, with betting odds at 1–7 in his favor.

Khan seemed the faster of the two early, but Garcia pretty quickly found a way to catch many of Khan's punches and was clearly finding the range with his own. Khan won the first two rounds and could have been on his way to winning the third, but with twenty-nine seconds left in the round Garcia countered a Khan combination with a left hook that caught Khan on the neck and dropped him to the canvas. Khan rose to his feet quickly but had been hurt by the punch, and referee Kenny Bayless took an extra few seconds after administering the standing eight count to make sure that Khan could continue. Garcia resumed his attack and nearly finished off Khan, who was saved when the bell rang to end the round. Eight seconds into the fourth Khan, now on unsteady legs, could not withstand a barrage of punches from Garcia, who was now taking control of the fight. Garcia kept pounding away at Khan, who lost his balance and touched the canvas with his gloves, thus forcing Bayless to administer another standing eight count as a fighter is considered down once any body part of his other than his feet touch the ring after a punch. Khan tried to rally and stay in the fight, but with forty-eight seconds left in the fourth round Garcia knocked him down for a third time. This time, Khan got up quickly,  appeared to have recovered from the barrage and told Bayless he was okay to continue. Bayless, after considering Khan's position, decided that the champion had taken enough punishment and stopped the fight, awarding a technical knockout victory.

After the fight, Khan said, "It wasn't my night. I was coming in with my hands down and Danny took advantage of that. He countered very well against me." According to CompuBox stats, Khan landed 92 of 206 punches thrown (45%), with 46 jabs and 46 power shots landed. Garcia landed 65 of his 216 thrown (30%), 60 of which were power shots. Khan earned $950,000, while Garcia had a $520,000 purse. Nevada State Athletic Commission announced the fight generated a total gate of $426,152 from 3,147 tickets sold. The fight averaged 1.3 million viewers on HBO World Championship Boxing.

Garcia vs. Morales II
On August 23, 2012, Garcia agreed to fight Ring top 10 light welterweight, Érik Morales (52-8, 36 KOs) in a rematch. The fight was scheduled to take place on October 20, in Brooklyn. On October 19, it was revealed that Morales had tested positive for banned substance clenbuterol. This was part of a random drug test from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. It was said that the card would still take place. Garcia decided to go ahead with the fight, where he would see a career-high $1 million purse. In front of 11,112  at the newly opened Barclays Center, Garcia retained his WBC, WBA (Super) & The Ring title's by knocking out Morales with a thunderous left hook in the fourth round. Garcia landed only 57 of 220 punches thrown (26%), but it was clear he was looking for an early win. After the fight, Garcia said, "I showed him too much respect in the first fight. You see the first fight, I thought this fight would be more of a war. I never duck anybody. I fought Khan and no one gave me a chance. Keep lining them up and I'll knock them down."

Garcia vs. Judah
On November 6, Golden Boy Promotions announced a deal had been reached for Garcia to defend his world titles against former two-weight champion Zab Judah (42-7, 29 KOs), which the Barclays Center being the front runners to host the event on January 19, 2013. The fight took place on Showtime. On December 1, the official press conference got heated up between Judah and Angel Garcia, after Angel began insulted Judah over his previous losses and performances. Judah eventually stood up and shouted, "I have a lot of respect for his father but I won't be disrespected." On January 29, it was reported that Garcia had suffered a rib injury, pushing the fight back to take place on April 27 instead. Judah was aiming to become the first ever four-time light welterweight world champion.

In front of an announced crowd of 13,048, Garcia defeated Judah by unanimous decision (115-112, 114–112, 116–111). He earned $1.25 million, a career-high purse at the time, whilst Judah earned $300,000, Garcia started the fight off strong landing body shots. Garcia badly shook Judah in round 5 and it was believed the fight would come to an end in the next round. Although Garcia was unable to finish the fight in the sixth round, he landed many clean shots and dominated the round. One judge scored the round 10-8 for Garcia, although there was no official knockdowns. García eventually dropped Judah in round 8 following a straight right. After the fight, Garcia said, "Regarding the bad blood: It's gone. It's a respect. As you can see, it's a lot of bad blood. I've got cuts, he has cuts. We came here and gave the people of Brooklyn a nice show." Both fighters were cut due to accidental clash of heads in the final round. Richard Schaefer stated Garcia would likely meet the winner of the Peterson vs. Matthysse fight, which was scheduled to take place on May 18. Matthysse won the fight via knockout.

Garcia vs. Matthysse

On July 18, 2013, it was confirmed that Garcia would meet Argentine slugger Lucas Matthysse (34-2, 32 KOs) on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Canelo Alvarez superfight September 14, 2013 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Garcia was a 2-1 underdog going into the fight. With both fighters earning an undisclosed seven-figure purse, the fight would be one of the most expensive undercard fights in history.

Garcia stood firm and fought a mature fight. Matthysse won several of the early rounds, putting heavy pressure on the champion by utilizing speed and punching power. In the middle rounds, Matthysse sustained an injury to his right eye from a Garcia flinch, to which Garcia targeted the eye throughout the remainder of the fight, subsequently taking the lead on the scorecards and closing the challengers eye. In the eleventh round Matthysse landed a punch that knocked out Garcia's mouthpiece, but Garcia turned the tables and knocked Matthysse down in the 11th round with a four-punch combination. Garcia was docked a point in the final round for low blows, but the last round was very competitive with both champion and challenger trading big shots. Garcia took the unanimous decision (115-111, 114-112 and 114–112), giving Matthysse his first decisive loss. This fight also clarified that Garcia's chin is capable of taking big shots, as it was widely touted before the fight that Garcia would not be able to absorb the huge punching power that Matthysse is famous for. With the victory, Garcia won the vacant Lineal light welterweight title.

For defeating Judah and Matthysse, Garcia was named 2013 Boxer of the Year by Stiff Jab.

Garcia vs. Herrera
An official press conference took place in February 2014 to announce Garcia's next title defence, against veteran boxer Mauricio Herrera (20-3, 7 KOs). The fight was to be aired on Showtime and was the first fight for Garcia in his parents homeland of Puerto Rico. The fight took place at Coliseo Rubén Rodríguez in Bayamón. Garcia retained his titles in a disputed majority decision win over Herrera. The official scorecards read (114-114, 116–112, 116–112).  Showtime commentators Al Bernstein, Paulie Malignaggi, and Steve Farhood scored the fight in favor of Herrera, but two judges scored it for Garcia, with one card at draw. Herrera's jab consistently scored and he was viewed by onlookers as the slightly busier fighter. After the fight, Garcia said about Herrera, "He's a crafty veteran. I know every time I step in the ring every contender I fight wants what I got. So they gonna train their heart out and give everything they got, so I expected that. He's a good fighter and it was a good challenge. I had to make adjustment and I'm a true champion." CompuBox Stats showed that Garcia landed on 204 of 675 punches thrown (30%), while Herrera landed 221 of his 695 punches (32%). Herrera believed he won the fight. After four rounds, it was announced the scorecards were 40–36, 39-37 and 38–38 in favour of Garcia. After eight rounds, two judges had Garcia ahead at 78-74 and 77–75, whilst the third judge had it 77-75 for Herrera. According to Bobby Hunter, known for collecting scorecards, 70% of the media scored the fight in favour of Herrera.

Garcia vs. Salka
On June 24, 2014, it was announced that García would fight lightweight contender Rod Salka (19-3, 3 KOs) at the Barclays Center on August 9 on a Showtime triple-header, which would also included Lamont Peterson vs. Edgar "El Chamaco" Santana. The plan was for Garcia vs. Peterson, if both fighters were able to win their respected fights. Garcia was criticized for choosing to fight Salka, as many believed it was mis-match. At the time, Salka was not ranked at light welterweight. The card also received negative press. ESPN's Teddy Atlas slammed the sanctioning bodies. The bout, which was originally announced as a 12-round fight, was dropped to a 10 rounder and included a catchweight of 142 pounds. No world titles were sanctioned for the fight. WBC president explained, as it was a voluntary and Salka was not ranked, they would not sanction the fight, however if Garcia was to lose, the title would be declared vacant.

The fight proved to be a mis-match after Garcia brutally knocked out Salka in round 2 with a left hook, ending the fight.

Garcia said in relation to taking fight, “Fans last forever; boxing is a short-term career. I got to do what’s best for my life and my career. You can be 70-years-old and a fan. I can only box for another 10 years. I got to do what’s best for me.”

Garcia vs. Peterson

On January 14, 2015, NBC announced a partnership with Premier Boxing Champions to air premium fights on network television. It was announced that Garcia and Lamont Peterson would fight April 11, 2015 on NBC primetime. The fight was at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The highly anticipated bout between Garcia and Peterson took place at a 143-pound catch weight and was a non-title bout. Both fighters had something to prove as Garcia was coming off an extremely tough fight with Mauricio Herrera and Peterson was still reeling from a knockout loss to Lucas Matthysse in 2013.

In the early rounds Peterson was very defensive and attempted to frustrate Garcia with his awkward style. Garcia was the busier fighter the first four or five rounds throwing and landing more punches although having trouble landing clean punches on Peterson.  Both boxers took turns setting the pace, Garcia landing combinations and heavily to the body, Peterson jabbing and landing clean single power punches. Peterson's size and athleticism allowed him to stay in the fight even in the face of waves of serious Garcia body blows. Peterson looked strong going into rounds 10, 11, 12, but gave away round ten completely.  Garcia maintained a steady attack in the last three rounds of the fight while Peterson began coming forward and throwing everything he had (possibly suspecting he was trailing). Despite a very strong showing by Peterson, Garcia was awarded a majority decision by scores of 114-114, 115–113, 115–113. For the fight, Garcia earned $1.5 million compared to Peterson, who earned a $1.2 million purse. CompuBox stats showed that both fighters stayed busy, with Garcia landing 173 of 589 punches (29%), with Peterson more accurate, landing 170 of his 494 thrown (34%).

Welterweight

Garcia vs. Malignaggi
On June 4, 2015, it was announced that Garcia would make his welterweight debut against 34 year old former world champion Paulie Malignaggi (33-6, 7 KOs) at Barclays Center, Brooklyn in a Premier Boxing Champions fight shown on ESPN on August 1. Before a crowd of 7,237,  García won the fight with a ninth-round technical knockout at 2:22 of the round. Garcia pushed the pace early, walking through Malignaggi's jab and firing to the head and body with both hands, particularly the right. Malignaggi was cut above his right eye by the third round and had a large welt beneath the right eye in the sixth, having been bludgeoned by several huge shots from García. Malignaggi was still taking a beating at the 2:22 mark of the ninth, when referee Arthur Mercante Jr. wrapped him in his arms to signal the end, beating Malignaggi's corner, which was about to throw in the towel. For the fight, Garcia's purse was $1.25 million compared to Malignaggi's $550,000. At the time of stoppage, the three judges' scorecards read 79–73, 79-73 and 78–74 in favour of Garcia. Following the fight, Malignaggi reflected on whether or not he would continue to fight after the defeat.

Garcia vs. Guerrero
On November 24, 2015, it was announced that Garcia would be facing Robert Guerrero on January 23, 2016, at Staples Center in Los Angeles in a PBC fight broadcast on FOX which was the first ever major PBC event to be broadcast on the network. Garcia won by unanimous decision 116-112 scored by all judges becoming the new WBC welterweight champion. The attendance was announced 12,052 at the Staples Center. Garcia celebrated in the ring after the fight with his daughter Philly and praised Guerrero, "I'm excited. Guerrero is tough. No one has ever stopped him. He came to fight. He was in shape. I'm taking nothing away from him." Garcia earned a base purse of $1.5 million, $300,000 more than Guerrero.

Garcia vs. Vargas
After holding out for a possible super fight with Floyd Mayweather, Garcia announced his next fight would be against Colombian fringe contender Samuel Vargas (25-2-1, 13 KOs)  at the Liacouras Center in Temple University's in Philadelphia on November 12. It was said that the fight would be a non-title, 10 round fight and would pave the way for a unification fight with Keith Thurman in 2017. This was the first time Garcia fought in his hometown of Philadelphia since 2010. After dropping Vargas in round 2, the fight became one sided. Garcia eventually forced the referee to stop the fight in round 7 following a barrage of punches which pinned Vargas against the ropes. Thurman was on commentator duty for the fight and entered the ring after the fight was over to engage a staredown and exchange of words with Garcia.

Garcia vs. Thurman
On October 25, Showtime announced several fights to take place towards the end of 2016 and early 2017. One of them was the much anticipated welterweight unification fight between Garcia and fellow undefeated welterweight champion Keith Thurman (27-0, 22 KOs), who holds the WBA title. Garcia defeated journeyman Samuel Vargas in a tune-up fight on November 12, which officially set up the fight for March 4, 2017 at the Barclays Center in New York City. Thurman chose not to have any tune-up and would fight Garcia after a long 9 month rest. At a press conference on January 18, 2017, the fight was officially announced and it was said that it would be shown live on CBS. The conference got extremely heated, leading to Angel Garcia standing up and shouting racial slurs towards Thurman.<ref>Willis, George (January 18, 2017). "Danny Garcia’s dad hurls racial slurs at Keith Thurman in boxing fracas". New York Post. News Corp. Retrieved May 13, 2017.</ref>

Garcia lost the fight on a split decision with the scorecards 116–112, 113-115 & 115–113 in favor of Thurman, making Thurman the unified welterweight world champion. Thurman started off as the aggressor hitting and moving back to avoid García's counter hooks. This was the case for the majority of the fight. Garcia began coming forward through the middle rounds and push Thurman on the back foot. Thurman backed off the championship rounds believing he had a comfortable enough lead to win the fight. MC Jimmy Lennon Jr. gave Garcia false hope that he had won the fight when he announced WBA before WBC, making Garcia believe he had won. Garcia spoke in the post fight interview believing he had a good case of winning the fight, "I thought I won, and I was pushing the fight, but it is what it is. He was trying to counter. I had to wait to find my spots." Compubox stats showed Thurman landed 147 of 570 punches thrown, a percentage of 26% and Garcia landed 130 punches of his 434 thrown (30%). It was also reported that both fighters received a purse of $2 million a piece. The fight was attended by a boxing record of 16,533 at the Barclays Center. According to The Ring, the fight peaked at 5.1 million viewers, which was at the last three rounds. The fight averaged 3.74 million viewers. This was the first time since 1998 that a Saturday primetime boxing telecast drew that kind of audience. The entire card drew an average 3.1 million viewers.

Garcia vs. Ríos
Due to Keith Thurman being sidelined for the remainder of 2017, on July 17 the WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman told ESPN Deportes, that he would likely order a fight between the #1 ranked Shawn Porter (27-2-1, 17 KOs) and #2 García for the Interim WBC title. He also went on to state, if Porter or Garcia declined to take part in the interim title fight, he would move on to the next highest available ranked fighter. At that time, Manny Pacquiao was #3, Jessie Vargas was #4 and Konstantin Ponomarev was ranked #5 by the WBC. A day later, Porter added fuel to the speculation when he called out Garcia in a WWE-esque promo on social media, "I just heard that the WBC will ask Showtime Shawn Porter to fight another title eliminator. And they want me to fight none other than the cherry picker himself - Danny Garcia. What I say to you Danny Garcia - let's get it on," Porter claimed the ball was now in Garcia's court.

According to reports on October 3, a deal was close to being made between Garcia and former champion and WBC #15 Brandon Ríos (34-3-1, 25 KOs) to take place in December 2017. On December 15, it was reported a fight was close to being made to take place on February 17, 2018, in Las Vegas. The fight was confirmed a week later to take place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Paradise, Nevada on Showtime. The last time Garcia fought at Mandalay Bay, he knocked out Amir Khan to unify the light welterweight division in 2012. In January 2018, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman sanctioned the fight as a final eliminator for the WBC title. Sulaiman explained, "Champion Keith Thurman will return in a voluntary title defense, as he has recovered from his injury. Shawn Porter is the mandatory challenger, and Danny Garcia will fight Brandon Ríos in a final elimination bout for the second mandatory due to the inactivity of Thurman." Garcia boxed expertly in jabbing and countering Ríos on the move. The fight came to an end in round 9 with a 1-punch knockout in front of 6,240 fans in attendance. Ríos beat the 10 count, however referee Kenny Baylis stopped the fight. Garcia set Ríos up with a perfect right hand counter that knocked him down on his back. Ríos landed some good shots in the 6th round, but was mostly being hit clean. At the time of stoppage, Garcia was ahead by the scores 78–74, 79-73 and 79–73. After the fight, Shawn Porter jumped into the ring and tried calling out Garcia. Showtime interviewer Jim Gray did not like this as he believed Garcia deserved his moment and told Porter and his team to exit the ring. For the fight, Garcia made $1.25 million and Ríos had a $500,000 purse. According to CompuBox, Garcia landed 188 of 614 punches thrown (31%) and Ríos landed 109 of his 605 (18%). According to Nielsen Media Research, the fight averaged 516,000 viewers and peaked at 558,000 viewers on Showtime.

 Garcia vs. Porter
On April 24, Thurman vacated his WBC title, forcing the organisation to mandate Porter vs. Garcia for the vacant title. On May 9, the WBC ordered purse bids to take place on May 25 if no agreement had been made, although the WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman confirmed talks were going well and a deal could be finalized before the bids. On the morning of May 25, Tom Brown informed the WBC a deal was in place for the bout to take place, thus the purse bids were cancelled. Brown stated the fight would take place at the Barclays Center in either August or September 2018. On July 24, the long-awaited announcement was finally made confirming the bout to take place at the Barclays Center on September 8, 2018. Before a crowd of 13,058 in attendance, Porter became a two-time world champion after defeating Garcia via unanimous decision. The official scores were 116–112, 115–113, 115–113 in Porter's favour. Porter started off slowly in the first four rounds but then came on in the second half and took over, dominating the remainder of the bout. Both boxers boxed in the first quarter of the fight. Porter had little success in doing this. He then made adjustments and began fighting more on the inside and connecting with body shots. One of Porter's main attributes was the way he doubled his jab. It appeared Garcia slowed down in the second half of the fight. This was likely due to the body attack from Porter. Garcia believed he won the fight, but did not complain about the result. IBF champion Errol Spence Jr. entered the ring during Porter's post-fight interview with Porter stating a fight between the pair would be the 'easiest to make' in boxing. CompuBox stats showed that Porter landed 180 of 742 punches thrown (24%) and Garcia landed with 168 of his 472 thrown (36%). For the fight, Porter earned $1 million and Garcia made $1.2 million. The fight averaged 619,000 viewers and peaked at 690,000 viewers.

 Garcia vs. Granados
On November 13, 2018, PBC, along with their new partnership with FOX announced the 2019 first half schedule. It was announced that Garcia would return to the ring in April 2019 against Adrián Granados (20-6-2, 14 KOs, 1 NC). Granados had previously called out Garcia, before his loss to Porter. The fight was set to take place on April 20. On November 27, it was reported that Top Rank had offered García a guaranteed $3m purse to challenge WBO champion Terence Crawford on March 23, 2019, on ESPN PPV, which included an upside of the pay-per-view revenue. The offer was made to Garcia's father Angel from Top Rank's Todd duBoef and Carl Moretti. According to Moretti, Angel stated he would discuss the deal with Danny but then never got back to them. At the time Moretti said they offered the deal, there was a chance the Garcia Granados fight was already agreed upon.

Garcia stopped Granados in the seventh round, after dropping him to the canvas several times during their bout.

The West Hudson Athletic Association (A.A.) (also known as the West Hudson Athletic Club (A.C.) or West Hudson Athletic Club Football (A.C.F.)) was one of the dominant U.S. soccer teams of the early twentieth century.  Founded in 1905, the team won a 'triple' when they finished first in both the Metropolitan and New Jersey Association Football Leagues and captured the 1906 American Cup. The team won a “double” when it took the 1912 National Association Football League and American Cup titles.  The team played in Harrison’s Federal League Park and competed in the NAFBL for most of its existence.

History
Located in northern New Jersey, West Hudson is the western portion of the Hudson County.  This area was one of the earliest and strongest areas for American soccer, spawning dozens of teams from the towns of Harrison, Kearny and East Newark.  The areas strength in soccer rested on two Scottish companies, Clark Thread Company and Michael Nairn & Company, which established their American operations in the area.  The two companies drew Scottish immigrants to their plants which then served as the basis for many of the areas powerhouse teams.  In Harrison, the West Hudson A.A. drew its players from the city at large, rather than operating as a company team like many others in the area. On October 10, 1905, they were listed as a founding member of the Metropolitan Association Football League (MAFL) of New York City.  In 1906, they won the American Cup, at the time considered the top level of U.S. competition.  That fall, they entered the professional National Association Football League, promptly winning the league title.  Over the next decade, they ran off five total league titles and three cup championship, taking the first U.S. double in 1912.  In 1909, six of the top U.S. teams joined to form the short lived, first Eastern Soccer League (ESL).  The intent was to allow these teams to play against the best teams from other leagues and regions.  The crowds were limited and after losing money, the league folded with most teams playing only five of the planned twelve matches.  West Hudson was in third place when the league collapsed.  In 1918, the U.S. entry into World War I led to the drain of players to military service.  Several leagues elected to suspend operations, but the NAFBL chose to continue playing.  However, several teams found it too difficult to continue operations, among them West Hudson.  Therefore, the team left the NAFBL in 1918 and soon ceased operation.

Armageddon Empires is a 4x turn-based strategy video game for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.  It was released internationally for Microsoft Windows on July 16, 2007, and for Mac OS X on October 9, 2007.  The title is the first game released by independent game developer Cryptic Comet.

Plot

The game is set in the year 2325 AD, 300 years after Earth is invaded by two alien races, the Xenopods and the Machine Empire.  Waging war against each other, the two invaders use nuclear weapons and genetically engineered plagues, which in turn results in the deaths of 99.9% of the population.  The war between the Xenopods and the Machine Empire has lasted for 10,000 years, but the two sides only fight on Earth for twenty years before leaving in 2045 to continue their fight in other star systems.

The resultant power vacuum causes conflict to break out between four factions: the remaining Xenopods and the Machine Empire, along with the Empire of Man, who are the remnants of human civilisation, and the Free Mutants, who were created by the Xenopods using human tissue.

Gameplay
In Armageddon Empires, players take on the role of one of four factions in a post-apocalyptic setting.  Each faction is at war with the others, seeking to dominate the meager resources of a fictitious wasteland.  The only way to achieve victory is to crush all others.

The game is designed to be a hybrid of traditional strategy board games along with some elements of collectible card games.  While the cards are not truly collectible, in the sense that the game is complete with a single purchase, it does feature deck design and deck optimization elements.  Cards are used to represent all assets in the game, including buildings, units, heroes, tactics, and weaponry.  The game board is a hex map representing the wasteland, upon which in-play cards are placed.

After picking which deck to play and choosing basic game settings, players are taken to the wasteland map where they place their initial tiles and headquarters.  Since the game is single player, any other factions are controlled by computer opponents.  After this, the terrain is generated and gameplay begins.

At the start of each round, all factions roll for initiative.  The default number of dice which factions roll is uniform, but by expending resources, players can increase the number of dice rolled for that turn, increasing the odds that they win the roll.  Not only does the initiative control the order of turns, but it also controls how many action points the faction gets.  However, if players invest too many resources to win the roll, they may be limited in what they can actually do during their turn, having depleted their supplies.  The game requires players to prioritize their limited assets, since there are rarely enough to address all needs.

Each round, players receive a certain number of the four different resource types: men, materials, energy, and technology, depending on what areas they control and the resource collection facilities stationed there. These resources, in addition to being used to buy initiative dice, are used to bring new cards into play, as well as other functions like the repair of damaged units.  During a player's turn, they may spend action points and resources on a variety of activities.  This includes drawing new cards, playing existing cards from the hand, moving units within armies, forming armies, and conducting research.

When an army encounters an enemy force, battle typically ensues.  Battles involve a setup stage, where units are positioned in the front or back ranks.  After this is done, the two sides are revealed to each other and combat begins in earnest.  The two sides take alternating turns performing a single action each, which usually involves attacking an enemy unit.  Standard attacks involve the attacker rolling a number of dice based on their attack rating, the defender rolling a number of dice based on their defense rating, and comparing the results to determine any damage.  After all units have acted or otherwise been marked "committed", the round ends, giving players the chance to retreat or continue battle, with all remaining units returning to a ready state.

The ultimate objective is to capture or destroy the headquarters of all other factions.  If a faction loses its headquarters and is not able to reclaim it before the end of the round, that faction is eliminated.  If the human player controls the last remaining faction, they are dubbed the winner and awarded a score based on how well they played.

Development
During an interview, Vic Davis, the developer behind Armageddon Empires, revealed that the idea for making a turn-based strategy game of his own first came to him in 2004.  After having played a number of such titles and noticing that the industry was moving in a different direction, towards real-time strategy games, he decided to go ahead and pursue game development.

Davis was working on his first project, a Darklands-style role-playing video game/turn-based strategy hybrid, when he reached the conclusion that it "wasn't going to work" in January 2005.  Following this, he was inspired by several board games he was playing at the time, as well as the Call of Cthulhu Collectible Card Game.  This eventually led him to merge the two game types to create the core mechanics behind Armageddon Empires.

The game was developed in Adobe Director, chosen based on Davis' previous experience using the package to do animations.

Expansions

Cults of the Wastelands
On October 31, 2007, a post on the Cryptic Comet blog mentioned that a free expansion pack for Armageddon Empires entitled Cults of the Wastelands was in development.  While originally planned to include 10 new cards, the official announcement on the game website expanded this number to 14 while providing a March 2008 release date.  The expansion adds cults to the game, which are independent factions with their own agendas.  When enabled, these cults make use of new mechanics in order to pursue their goals, behaving much more aggressively than the previously passive independent forces. It was released on March 20, 2008.

Tip of the Spear
On May 30, 2008, a post on the Cryptic Comet blog announced that development of a second free expansion pack for Armageddon Empires had begun. The expansion makes improvements to infantry units by giving them new abilities, adds new upgrades available only to infantry, and implements an optional feature that makes moving non-infantry armies around the map more costly. The planned release date for the expansion was July 17, 2008, which was the first anniversary of Armageddon Empires''' release.

On July 8, 2008, Tip of the Spear was released in a beta form on the Cryptic Comet blog, and was quickly patched the day after.  The official release of the expansion was made on July 21, 2008.

ReceptionArmageddon Empires received positive reviews overall.  The game received positive marks for its deep strategy gameplay and return to genre roots. Negative criticisms focused on the bare-bones user interface. Pelit called Armageddon Empires "A very entertaining turn-based post-apocalyptic strategy game with a lot of tools of war. A gem marred only by clunky UI." PC Format said it is "A strategy triumph and a real must-play.

Games for Windows magazine praised the game's blend of collectible card game and board game, while noting that the game lacks a multiplayer mode.

Leicester Storm are an amateur community rugby league football club based in Leicester, England. They compete in the Conference League South and their Academy Team compete in the 3v Sport Midlands Rugby League. The club's home is Phoenix Park which is in the suburb of Saffron Lane, South-West Leicester, where they have played since 2006. Leicester are one of the oldest clubs in the Rugby League Conference.

The club was founded in 1986 under the name of Leicester Rugby League, after playing in the East Midlands Amateur Rugby League Association (initially known as the Nottingham & Mansfield Amateur Rugby League Association). The Phoenix were one of the 10 founder members of the Rugby League Conference (then the Southern Conference League) in 1997, reaching the grand final in the inaugural season. In the 1998 season Leicester Rugby League was rebranded Leicester Phoenix.

2010 saw the club rebrand itself as Leicester Storm. The Storm name and colours come from the unique association that Leicester shares with Melbourne Storm.

For the 2013 season, Storm appointed Jamaica national rugby league team coach Dean Thomas as their new head coach, and the club will be competing in the newly formed Conference League South, along with Nottingham, St Albans, Bristol, Northampton and Sheffield Hallam Eagles.

History

The club was founded in 1986 and Leicester lifted their first silverware in the form of the Nottingham and Mansfield Amateur Rugby League Association (NAMARLA) Division Championship in the 1987/88 season.

During 1993/94, Leicester competed in the East Midlands Amateur League finishing a creditable 3rd. During the season Leicester played at their current home location of Aylestonians. Other successes during this season saw Leicester make it through to the second round of the National Cup only to lose to Carlisle 20–10 away. Leicester also made it through to the second round of the East Midlands Cup (Stephenson Cup) losing to Doncaster 30–18.

1994/95 saw talks of a National Development League in which Leicester, and in particular Chairman Julian Harrison, were at the forefront of discussions alongside the then London Broncos Development Bev Risman.

During the season, Super League would become Europe’s top level competition to play during the summer of 1996. With club mergers being planned throughout the country, Leicester saw this as an opportunity to bring top level rugby league to the East Midlands, so the plan was drawn up to merge Leicester Rugby League with Northampton Knights and Peterborough Rugby League. The strategy was for the new merged team, East Midlands Knights, to enter the National Conference League Division 2 and then progress up to Super League. A friendly fixture against Hull F.C. was also penned in for the team to get some top level experience. However, due to administrative and travel issues amongst players and staff the plans for the East Midlands Knights were shelved, and local level development was seen as the best way for the development of rugby league in Leicester. During the season, Leicester saw two of their star players, Curtis Thomas and Laurence Taylor, being signed by Super League club Sheffield Eagles.

The 1995–96 season would be the last that Leicester would play during the winter and the first season that Leicester would put together a junior team and make strides with junior development within the city. Still playing at Aylestonians, through club coach Paul Walmsley and chairman Julian Harrison, junior development climaxed with a junior camp held in Sheffield, which was run in partnership with Sheffield Eagles and Leicester City Council. This offered Leicester youngsters an opportunity to receive professional coaching and tuition.

1997 – the beginning of summer Rugby League

Leicester, a club with a history of initiative thinking, became one of the ten founder members of the then Southern Conference League (since 1998 it has been known as the Rugby League Conference). The conference was split into two divisions: East and Central. Leicester also moved from Aylestonians to the Saffron Lane Athletics Stadium, which housed a 3,000-seater stand.

Under the stewardship of Walmsley, Leicester won the inaugural Central Division which saw them face the winners of the East Division, North London Skolars, in the Grand Final which was played at Staines RUFC. Leicester came out 32–16 losers.

1998 saw a Phoenix born. Clubs were asked by the RLC to brand themselves; Leicester Rugby League were duly rebranded Leicester Phoenix Rugby League. Phoenix started their campaign with a friendly match against the Russian Champions Strela which saw them narrowly lose at Saffron Lane. Phoenix were able to field an under-13s and an under-15s junior side.

During the 1999 season, the Phoenix played in front of their biggest crowd to date. On the Super League road show, the Bradford Bulls played London Broncos at Leicester Tigers' home ground of Welford Road. The Phoenix were asked to play their conference game against Coventry Bears as a pre-game to the Super League encounter. In front of 7,000 fans, the Phoenix toppled the Bears 25–18 in what was to start a ferocious rivalry between the clubs. This season saw the Phoenix move back to Aylestonians.

During the 1990s, Leicester played host to four rugby league nines tournaments. Local and national club sides were invited to enter the tournament from across the country by organiser Paul Walmsley. The First Tournament saw Wakefield lift the inaugural trophy in 1995, Leicester win the trophy in 1996 and 1997, and a side from Castleford win the last tournament in 1998.

2000 saw 24 clubs, split into 4 regions, contest the Rugby League Conference. Leicester’s previous chairman Julian Harrison was appointed the new Conference Administrator. During the upcoming years, the Phoenix struggled to find a home location which would match their desire to progress forward and help to develop rugby league within Leicester. From 2000 to 2009, Phoenix have been based at no less than six locations throughout the city.

Success came to Leicester during the 2004 season when Phoenix won the RLC South Midlands division.

In the 2006 season, the Phoenix were invited to join the Midlands Premier which they finished in 3rd place. 2006 also saw Centre Karl Wesley represent the England Lionhearts against Serbia scoring in the 46–6 win in the Radnički Stadium, Belgrade.

Playing at Leicester Forest's Hinckley Road Ground, Phoenix faced a challenging season which saw the club finish 8th in the Midlands Premier.

During the 2008 season, the Phoenix competed in the Midland Premier division. After reaching an agreement with Aylestone St. James RUFC, all of their home games were played at their Covert Lane Ground in the Scraptoft area of the city. On the playing front, the Phoenix had a mixed playing season, the highlight being the defeat of the Bedford Tigers at home, whom, in the away fixture at the start of season gave the Phoenix their biggest defeat of the season.
The Phoenix battled to 7th spot in the Midlands Premier Conference. Off the pitch, international honours went to Richard Knight who represented Scotland Students at the Students Rugby League World Cup in Australia and also Scotland A in the Home Nations Tournament.

During the 2009 pre-season, much work went on re-structuring the club with a new committee formed under the stewardship of the newly appointed Club chairman, Mark Sloan. Former Coventry Bears captain and coach Ty Watson joined the Phoenix as Director of Rugby League.
During the 2009 season, Phoenix played in the Midlands Premier division under the leadership of former Sheffield Eagles and Great Britain Student player Greg Hurst.

Under new coach Watson, Leicester topped the Midlands Premier division after round 5. However, due to an injury crisis in the second half of the season the Phoenix slipped down the conference finishing 5th and just outside the play-offs.

The season also saw the birth of the Academy team who played fixtures in the 3v Sport Midlands Merit League. In total, over 30 players played in Academy games with ages ranging from 16 to 40. The injury crisis within the First Grade allowed many Academy Players to be bled into the First Grade which can only be good for the long term development of the Phoenix.

Off the field, developments and huge strides were made in development and financial security. The junior development within Leicester made huge strides through the creation of the Phoenix Festival of Rugby League hosted by New College, Leicester. This event attracted over 40 children of Primary School age and exposed Rugby League to children, teachers and parents who otherwise would not have access to it. The Phoenix were also back in the tabloids through regular news reports in the region's premier newspaper, the Leicester Mercury.  The Storm formed a partnership with Sports Company 3v Sport which saw the leading sportwear company sponsor the club and provide support with marketing and fundraising.

At the end of the season, Chris Baron was signed by the Engage Super League side Warrington Wolves to become the Head of Strength and Conditioning, and also former Phoenix player Michael Coady, who had a brief stint with the club during 2008, was signed by Super League Champions Leeds Rhinos.

2010 – from the ashes of the Phoenix, a Storm in a teacup..

After a successful period as club chairman in which he guided the club through some very challenging and exciting times, Mark Sloan stepped down from the position as club chairman. At the 2009 AGM, in his place Ty Watson was elected as the new club chairman from his position as Director of Rugby for the 2010 season.

2010 saw the club rebrand itself as Leicester Storm. The Storm name and colours came from the association that Leicester shares with Melbourne Storm. After meeting Melbourne Storm Operations Manager Frank Ponnissi in Leeds the club decided to rebrand the club to signal its rebirth and herald in a new era.  The club also forged a link with the professional team Sheffield Eagles which saw the clubs share coaching resources and methods as well as providing a clear pathway for talented players and coaches. An Academy team which was started in 2009 went on to play a full season (for new and young players) and went on to win the 3v Sport Midlands League. There was also a record number of players making representative teams, including one making a Great Britain appearance plus three players signing professional contracts with championship side Sheffield Eagles,

In 2011 the Storm employed in partnership with the RFL a full-time community sports coach and started a full junior programme including under-11s, under-13s, under-14s, under-16s and under-18s. 12 players this year have made representative teams with 2 currently considering contracts from Sheffield Eagles. The Academy team had another great year making the 3v Sport Midlands Rugby League Finals, losing to the eventual winners. The 1st Grade side enjoyed their most successful season for many years making the Grand Final against Bristol Sonics.  This game would be the last for Head Coach Ty Watson who has decided to hang up his boots after 20 years playing the game.

 Ty Watson: Ty is a former Super League player with Australian team Western Reds who has played for the club since 2009 when he took over the coaching reins.

The BTC-T Vauxhall Astra Sport Hatch is a BTC-Touring class racing car that was built for the 2005 British Touring Car Championship season by Triple 8 Race Engineering, who ran Vauxhall's official works program.

Works history

After campaigning the BTC-T Vauxhall Astra Coupe for 4 years, VX Racing took the decision to replace the car with the brand-new Astra SportHatch for the 2005 BTCC season. An experimental BTC-T spec Vectra had been built in 2003, but the experiment was not continued due to the weight of the car. Replacing such a successful car proved difficult, however; and the car only won ten out of the sixty races it contested as a works entry, in the hands of Yvan Muller, Colin Turkington and Fabrizio Giovanardi. The emergence of the BTC-T Honda Integra Type R proved to be a challenge too far for Vauxhall, despite a successful debut victory, and Vauxhall's 100th BTCC win at Knockhill in 2006. Despite the dominance of Matt Neal's Integra, however, the car did deliver the 2005 Manufacturer's championship to Vauxhall, as Team Dynamics were not competing in this championship.

Later career
After the car's replacement with the Super 2000-spec Vectra, the Turkish driver Erkut Kizilirmak bought three of the four chassis, and used them for his Arkas Racing team in the BTCC for 2007, with some occasional races in the Turkish Touring Car Championship. In 2008, Erkut expanded the BTCC effort to a two-car team, being joined by Martyn Bell.

Audnedal Station () is a railway station of the Sørlandet Line situated just north of the village of Konsmo in Lyngdal municipality in Agder county, Norway. Located  from Oslo Central Station, the station is served by long-distance trains operated by Go-Ahead Norge. In addition to intercity services to Oslo and Stavanger, the eight daily trains in each direction serve as a commuter link to Kristiansand, located forty minutes away. The station features two platforms and a station building.  Just west of the station is the Hægebostad Tunnel, one of the longest tunnels in Norway.

The station was opened on 17 December 1943 as part of the segment of the Sørlandet Line between Kristiasand and Sira. The line past the station was electrified from 1944, when regular traffic started. The station was automated in 1969 and became unmanned the following year. The station has seen a many-fold increase in traffic since 2000 and it is scheduled for a platform upgrade by 2019.

History
Audnedal Station was built during the Second World War under the German-administrated expansion of the Sørlandet Line west of Kristiansand. The station building was completed in 1942 after designs by Gudmund Hoel and Bjarne F. Baastad at NSB Arkitektkontor. It was originally proposed to be named Øydesland, but this was changed to Audnedal. Irregular revenue traffic commenced on the line on 17 December 1943 and the station became operative from the same day. Electric traction was introduced on 18 February 1944, ahead of ordinary traffic commencing on 1 March 1944.

The cargo annex was extended around 1950. An interlocking system became operational on 17 July 1969, allowing the station to become remotely controlled from 19 August 1969. The station became unmanned from 1 June 1970.

The station experienced a renaissance during the 2000s. At that time the station started generating commuter traffic to Kristiansand. This traffic had increased greatly and now constitutes the bulk of traffic out of the station. Ridership was 2,400 annually in 2005, rising to 17,096 in 2010. Around then the Norwegian National Rail Administration carried out a cleaning of the station, renovating the station building, asphalting the parking lot and clearing out wild growth.

Facilities

Audnedal Station is a station on the Sørlandet Line, located  from Oslo Central Station at an elevation of  above mean sea level. Just west of the station, covering nearly the entire line to Snartemo Station, is the  Hægebostad Tunnel, the fifth-longest railway tunnel in Norway.

The station features a  passing loop. There is a main side platform serving track 1, which is  long, and a  island platform serving track 2. Both are  tall. Most trains stop at track 2, with the longer platform, and only when trains meet at Audnedal is track 1 in use.

Like the other stations along the Sørlandet Line, the station building received a standardized design. It was built in the overall Neoclassical architecture style adapted in the 1920s. By the 1940s the designs had been altered to include elements of functionalism. Audnedal received an identical station building to that of Storekvina Station. The  building is wooden with a concrete foundation. It has siding in asbestos cement and a gable roof. The building consists of a main section, where the lower story originally featured a ticketing and waiting room, and an upper story with the station master's residence. The annex was allocated cargo handling. There is also a  shed housing the interlocking controls, dating from 1968. Today the station building features a waiting room and a washroom, open around the clock except from 21:00 on Saturday to 07:00 on Sunday. The upper part of the station serves as a residence. There is free parking for 30 cars at the station.

Services
The catchment area of Audnedal Station incorporates the municipalities of Lyngdal, Åseral, and Lindesnes. The station is itself located a few kilometers north of Konsmo.

The station is served by long-distance trains operated by Go-Ahead, counting eight daily services on weekdays, including a night train service. These operate from Oslo via Kristiansand to Stavanger. Audnedal is located within the catchment area for commuting to Kristiansand. The train uses forty minutes to Kristiansand Station. This is less than half the time used to drive, which is further hampered by congestion during rush-hour. The station had 14,600 annual passengers in 2008.

Future
The short platforms have caused the Norwegian Railway Authority to demand that they be lengthened to  and heightened to  by 2019, or the station closed. The National Rail Administration has estimated the upgrades to cost 25 million Norwegian krone and has planned to carry out the upgrade by 2019.

The Rubber Soul Project was a Serbian rock band. The band took their name from the famous Beatles record Rubber Soul released in 1965. Their first album, The Rubber Soul Project, released in 1996, was conceived as an imaginary Beatles album, with the band writing music and lyrics to songs for which they had heard only the titles. Their second album, The Rubber Soul Project 2, also inspired by the music and the titles of never

History

The Rubber Soul Project
The band history begins in 1993 in Belgrade, when visual artist Rastko Ćirić, professor of Illustration and Animation at the Belgrade Faculty of Applied Arts and horror and science fiction writer Goran Skrobonja bonded over their mutual love for the Beatles. Inspired by the titles of songs the Beatles never released (some of which were available on bootleg recordings in Western Europe, but not in Serbia) they found in Jeff Russel's book The Beatles – Album files and Complete Discography, the two set out to write lyrics and music in the manner in which the Beatles would have done it. The lyrics were written by Skrobonja, and the music was written by Ćirić. The two then decided to record the album with their songs. In 1995, the band, named The Rubber Soul Project (in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Beatles Rubber Soul album), was formed. It consisted of Ćirić, Nebojša Ignjatović, musician, former member of Dogovor iz 1804. and professor of double bass at the Belgrade Music Academy, Miroslav Cvetković, bass guitarist of the popular Serbian band Bajaga i Instruktori, and Čedomir Macura, the drummer of Bajaga i Instruktori.

The album The Rubber Soul Project was recorded from December 1994 to March 1995. On the album recording Ćirić sang and played acoustic guitar, piano, soprano recorder, tambourine, maracas, kazoos, jingle bells and xylophone, Ignjatović sang and played electric guitar, twelve-string guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, tambourine, cabassa, synthesizer and flute, Cvetković played Höfner 500/1 violin bass, tambourine, electric guitar, keyboard bass, maracas, slide guitar and sang backing vocals, and Macura played drums and percussion and did lead vocals on the track "When I Come To Town", the "Ringo Starr song" of the album. The album was produced by Ignjatović and Cvetković, the latter also being the recording engineer. The goal of the band members was to produce the authentic Beatles sound and atmosphere. Miroslav Cvetković played the Höfner 500/1 violin bass, the same type Paul McCartney used, and Macura played on the Ludwig drum set, the type Ringo Starr played on all Beatles records. The album included a sitar George Harrison-style track called "Indian Rope Trick", rock and roll songs "Home", "When I Come To Town", and "Bound By Love", psychedelic "Colliding Circles", "Watching Rainbows", and "Rubber Soul".

In March 1996, record label PGP-RTS released the album on vinyl (circulation of less than 200 copies, exclusively for radio stations) and cassettes. The album was met by positive reactions from both the audience and the critics. In April 1996, an article about the project was published in Billboard magazine. Several videos were recorded for the songs from the album. The video for the song "Colliding Circles", directed by Srđan Marković and Jelena Obradović, was awarded the Golden Plaque and the video for the song "Rubber Soul", directed by Aleksandar Dević, was awarded the Best Debut Award at the 1998 Belgrade Festival of Short and Documentary film.

As the authors of the album were unhappy with the fact that they never received any information from PGP-RTS about the number of sold copies, let alone an agreed percentage of the sales, the project was offered to other local publishers in attempt to publish the album on compact disc, but none of them showed interest. Finally, after the three-year contract expired in 1998, the authors agreed to print the CD as their private issue in limited circulation, which appeared in sales at the beginning of 1999. The CD edition package featured a novella entitled Rubber Soul, originally written by Skrobonja in 1993. The novella was written as a combination of fiction and facts, with the projection of some twenty years in the future. It was illustrated with "documents" created by Rastko Ćirić. In 1994, the novella was proclaimed the best science fiction story in FR Yugoslavia.

The Rubber Soul Project documentary
The idea to create some kind of film about the Rubber Soul Project was present from the very beginnings of the project in 1993. In 1999, the authors discussed the first version of the script for a documentary movie about Rubber Soul Project with movie director Dinko Tucaković and screenwriter Srđan Koljević. From 2000 until 2004 they actively worked on the film. The documentary, entitled simply The Rubber Soul Project, was released in 2004. The film described the circumstances among which the whole idea of recording the album came, the recording process, interviews with the band members and some of the associates of the band members. It premiered at the Montpellier Film Festival, and was later screened on festivals in Belgrade, Rotterdam, Reykjavík, and other cities.

The documentary stated that a copy of the album was sent to Paul McCartney, who said he enjoyed listening to it.

Live performances
The band who joined Rastko Ćirić to perform the Rubber Soul Project songs live did not feature the musicians which recorded the album. At concerts were the musicians from the band Fathers & Sons: Boiždar Skipić (lead guitar, vocal), Branimir Kosar (keyboards), Nedeljko Kusić (bass guitar) and Nikola Đokić (drums), as well as Maja Klisinski (percussion). In 1999, they started a series of concerts, which was stopped by the NATO bombing of FR Yugoslavia. Before the beginning of the bombing, the band held concerts at the British Council Cultural Centre (16 March), the Center for Cultural Decontamination (on 19 March), Hemingway Club (on 21 March) and the Museum of Yugoslav Kinotheque (on 23 March).

On 21 April 2001, in Belgrade Museum of Applied Arts, the original Rubber Soul Project lineup, with the addition of Branko Kosar and Maja Klisinski, performed songs from the album.

In December 2005, Ćirić and Skrobonja were invited to by Liverpool Beatles Fan Club to unveil a plaque to John Lennon on the wall of Lennon Studios, formerly Liverpool Maternity Hospital (in which Lennon was born). As a part of the ceremony, Ćirić alone performed the Beatles song "Julia", and the Rubber Soul Project in the original lineup performed their song "This Is Not Here". On the evening of the same day, the band performed the songs from the album in Liverpool's The Cavern Club, in which the Beatles performed in their early days.

Besides performances in Serbia and Great Britain, the band also performed in Italy and New Zealand.

The Rubber Soul Project 2
After the success of the debut album, Ćirić and Skrobonja began working on new tracks, writing more than 20 new songs. However, the idea was put on hiatus, before, in 2015, comic book artist Igor Kordej persuaded the two to record the follow-up to the 1996 album, even deciding to finance the recording sessions himself. Besides Ćirić, Ignjatović, Cvetković and Macura, the album recording featured Damjan Dašić and Marko Ćalić, members of the Beatles tribute band The Bestbeat. The album featured numerous guests, including Bajaga i Instruktori keyboardist Saša Lokner and keyboardist and producer Đorđe Petrović. Serbian director and author of British origin Timothy John Byford directed Ćirić in pronunciation. The new album was released by Paladin as a box set, featuring a disc with 17 new songs, a disc with the songs from the previous album, a DVD with Dinko Tucaković's documentary, and a book by Skrobonja entitled Putovanje (Journey), which describes the history of the project. The box set cover was designed by Igor Kordej.

As it was the case with the previous release, the songs on the album The Rubber Soul Project 2 were stylistically diverse: the song "Zero Is Just Another Even Number" was blues-oriented, Harrison-style "India" featured sitar, the song "In the Old Hillbilly Way" was rockabilly-oriented, and the song "Hitch Hike" was the "Ringo Starr song" sung by Macura. The song "India" featured a parrot trained to pronounce the line "Let's take a trip to India" specially for the album recording. The album featured two bonus songs, "Belgrade 2020", dedicated to Belgrade's attempt to become the 2020 European Capital of Culture, and the song "Knight of Hearts", dedicated to Igor Kordej.

In 2015, Ćirić announced that the two albums would be released as a double vinyl album.

The Godfather Papers and Other Confessions is a 1972 collective autobiography written by Mario Puzo, on his journey through writing his 1969 novel The Godfather.
"I was forty-five years old and tired of being an artist. Besides, I owed $20,000 to relatives, finance companies, banks and assorted bookmakers and shylocks. It was really time to grow up and sell out as Lenny Bruce once advised. So I told my editors, OK, I'll write a book about the Mafia..."
It explains Puzo's reasoning for writing The Godfather:
"I have written three novels. The Godfather is not as good as the preceding two; I wrote it to make money..."
