Tennis Europe (formerly known as the European Tennis Association) was formed in Rome, Italy on 31 May 1975 by a group of 17 European national tennis federations as a regional governing body for the sport of tennis and under the auspices of the International Tennis Federation. It is the world's largest regional association of the sport's governing body, the International Tennis Federation, with 50 member states in 2015.

Based in Basel, Switzerland, the organisation takes an active role in all aspects of the European game, executing tasks delegated by the ITF, and also by organizing a number of competitions and events independently from the ITF, such as European Tennis Championships.

Francesco Ricci Bitti was President of Tennis Europe from 1993 to 1999.

Ivo Kaderka was elected as President until 2024 at elections in September 2021. The Chief Executive Officer is Thomas Hammerl.

In reaction to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Tennis Europe suspended from membership both the Russian Tennis Federation and the Belarus Tennis Federation. Teams representing Russia and Belarus were therefore ineligible to compete at all Tennis Europe events (including Winter & Summer Cups, European Beach Tennis, and Senior Club Championships). All Tennis Europe events in Russia and Belarus were suspended, including the European Junior Tennis Championships (16 & Under) in Moscow, and delegates from both countries were not eligible to attend the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Tennis Europe.

Firebirds is a ZX Spectrum video game developed and released by Softek in 1983. It is a   clone of the 1980 arcade game Phoenix.

Reception

CRASH: "A classic Phoenix. Fire rate and left/right movement are the best we’ve seen. Beautiful graphics featuring red Firebirds, blue Bombers, and white Weavers in an intricate dance of death. 100 percent machine code. Very difficult to get to see the mothership, but worth it! Highly recommended."

Sinclair User: "The game could have been reasonably good if more attention had been paid to detail. Perhaps it would be a good idea for Softek to forget about compiler games and produce something in pure machine code. The games may be easy to produce but they are not so much fun to play"

Euparthenia is a subgenus of very small sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks, or micromollusks in the subfamily Turbonillinae.

The name Euparthenia is a replacement name for Parthenia Lowe, 1841 not Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830.

The genus Euparthenia contains both Recent and fossil species.

Shell description
The original description by Johannes Thiele (in English translation) is as follows: "Shell non-umbilicate, moderately turriculate, with spiral rings and ribs; columellar fold distinct. Kleinella (E.) bulinea (Lowe). A couple of species in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean."

The description of the type species by Richard Thomas Lowe (1841) reads:

"PARTHENIA BULINEA. P. testa subcylindaceo-attenuata, oblongiscula, juniore ovato-tereti: anfractibus planis, elegantissime reticulato-cancellatis, striis spiralibus crebris aequidistantibus, transversas aequidistantes decussantibus; sutura distincta impressa: columella postice torta, uniplicata. a. subventricosa."

Life habits
Little is known about the biology of the members of this genus. As is true of most members of the Pyramidellidae sensu lato, they are most likely to be ectoparasites.

Species
Species within the genus Euparthenia include:
 Euparthenia bulinea (Lowe, 1841) - type species, as Parthenia bulinea
 Euparthenia elegans
 Euparthenia humboldti (Risso, 1926)
 Euparthenia nordmanni Sorgenfrei, 1958

Jasma Odan is a folk deity from medieval Gujarat about a woman who committed sati to protect her honor after her husband was murdered by Siddharaj Jaisinh, a king of Chaulukya dynasty.

Legend
Jasma was a wife of Rooda who was a pond digger. They belonged to the Odh rajput tribe, a drifting tribe of laborers in Gujarat, Kathiawar, and some parts of Rajasthan. They were at Anhilwad Patan to dig Sahastralinga Tank, a lake and thousand shrines with lingam. Siddharaj Jaisinh, a king of Chaulukya dynasty, was captivated by the beauty of Jasma and proposed marriage. He offered to make her queen of Gujarat but she refused. Jaisinh killed her husband. She committed sati, by jumping into the pyre, to protect her honor. Her curse made the tank of Sahasralinga Tank waterless and Siddharaj without an heir to his kingdom of Gujarat.

The Jasmadevi temple dedicated to her, constructed by the Odh rajput tribe in the 12th century, is situated near Sahasralinga Tank at Patan, Gujarat.

Popular culture
A Bhavai vesha, a folk theatre form based on legend, has been performed since the nineteenth century. It was recreated for a stage performance titled Jasma Odan by Shanta Gandhi in 1982. The 1926 Indian silent film Sati Jasma about the folk deity was created by Homi Master. It starred Gohar Mamajiwala and Khalil in the lead roles. A Gujarati film titled Sati Jasma Odan was directed by Chandrakant Sanghani in 1976. The songs of the film were penned by Kanti Ashok and music was composed by Mahesh Naresh.

The Groovy Show was a half-hour live dance program aired on weekday afternoons on KHJ-TV Channel 9, in the Los Angeles, California market from 1967 to 1970.

Overview
The program was broadcast from the beach at Santa Monica, California near the pier.  During the winter the program moved inland to various parks around the Southland.  There were three iterations of the show.  The first, the on-location version from the beach and parks, was hosted by actor Michael Blodgett, who was usually shirtless to show off his physique. In addition to dancing and musical guests, the show also featured bikini contests and pie fights. Blodgett left the show within a year to pursue his acting career which included an role in Russ Meyer's Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

The second version of the show was a traditional in-studio teen dance program hosted by sister radio station KHJ DJ Sam Riddle and model Kam Nelson (who dated and later became engaged to Olympic pole vaulter Bob Seagren during their run). Possibly as a local example of a comely young California woman who was recognizable in the Los Angeles market through her appearances on The Groovy Show, Kam Nelson would be featured in the opening credits of the 1970s Lloyd Haynes television program Room 222. The show also featured games, including one called "The Generation Gap", where a teenager and an adult (usually a parent but it could be another adult, such as the principal of the high school the teenager attended) would each be asked three questions—the teenager would be asked questions the adult would easily know but would likely challenge a teenager; the adult would be asked a question teenagers would know but would likely stump an adult.  If they answered all questions correctly, they won a prize. The show was later renamed and briefly became "The Groovy Game" and included a game show component in which selected members of the audience competed in a trivia contest for prizes. Both Sam Riddle and Kam Nelson remained to co-host the show.

The third iteration of the show was also hosted by a KHJ disc jockey Robert W. Morgan. Morgan's program dropped the teen dance format and became more of a talk and performance show. One unique feature was the booth in which dancers got "Morganized," presumably a fun-house "whoopee" floor experience. When Morgan heard singer-songwriter John Stewart's song "California Bloodlines" on the radio early into his hosting duties (no doubt, on KHJ where the song was in the top 30 in Los Angeles at the time), he asked his producer Judi to find the singer.  She did, and Morgan asked Stewart to join the show for the 26-week contracted period.  Stewart performed on the show with his then-backup group which consisted of singer Buffy Ford (who later became his wife), future rock photographer Henry Diltz, fiddle player Chris Darrow, and drummer Russ Kunkel.  Given carte blanche and with little direction, the show at times was a free-for-all, Stewart and Morgan later admitted, on one occasion having a "shootout" with hand-held hair dryers.  By now the show could be viewed as either a wild, off-the-cuff early version of Monty Python or Benny Hill or one that had run its course.  In either event, the Morgan iteration was the show's last, and it soon disappeared from the airwaves, not to be forgotten by legions of Baby Boomers who came of age in Southern California during the program's run.  At least one videotape copy of an October 30, 1969 broadcast exists with Stewart and his group performing "California Bloodlines."  Others may be and are likely to exist in the CBS tape library, successor to the KHJ-owned program.

William Ryan  (born 23 December 1988) is an Australian sailor and an Olympic champion and five time World champion in the men's 470 event with Mathew Belcher.

Sailing career
Will Ryan experienced sailing when only two days old when he watched the 1988 Sydney to Hobart race in his grandfather's boat with his family. In his early years he was inspired by his grandfather and sailed in an old Sabot dinghy on Lake Macquarie in New South Wales. At the age of 11, Ryan competed in his first race with the Toronto Amateur Sailing Club.

Ryan competed in the Laser Radial class at the 2006 Youth Sailing World Championships. Two years later, Ryan, together with teammate Byron White, came second at the 2008 World Championships in the 29er class, finishing after fellow Australians Steven Thomas and Jasper Warren, and ahead of British team Max Richardson and Alex Groves who took the bronze.

In late 2012, Ryan teamed up with World champion Mathew Belcher, and less than a year later they the two won their first 470 World Championship at the 2013 event in La Rochelle. The team then continued to win the following two editions.

Ryan represented Australia at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He and teammate Mathew Belcher won the silver medal in the 470 class. In the following years, Belcher and Ryan also won the 2017 and 2019 470 World Championships.

Ryan and Belcher returned for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, where they won the gold medal in the 470 class.

Strážný (until 1955 Kunžvart, ) is a market town in Prachatice District in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 400 inhabitants.

Administrative parts
Villages of Hliniště, Kořenný and Řasnice are administrative parts of Strážný.

Geography
Strážný is located about  southwest of Prachatice and  west of České Budějovice, on the border with Germany. It lies in the Bohemian Forest; most of the territory lies in the Šumava National Park and a smaller part lies in the Šumava Protected Landscape Area. The highest point is the Strážný mountain with an altitude of ; there are also several other mountains above 1,000 m.

Two tributaries of the Vltava river, Řasnice and Častá, flow through the territory. The built-up area is located in the valley of the Častá, below the Strážný mountain.

History
The first written mention of Strážný, then named Kunžvart, is from 1359, when existence of a castle on the Strážný mountain is documented. For 200 years it served to protect an important trade route and border of the Kingdom of Bohemia. Since 1547, the castle was uninhabited, and during the 16th century, it became a ruin.

In 1689, a settlement was founded near the castle and named Kunžvart after the castle. The new village grew rapidly and already in 1833, the international road from Prague to Passau passed through here and one of the first bus lines in the country was in operation. In 1844, the village was promoted to a market town.

After World War II, the German population was expelled.

Demographics

Transport
There is the Strážný / Philippsreut road border crossing to Germany.

Edward Montagu (1692–1776) was a wealthy English landowner, who owned numerous coal mines and had several rents and estates in Northumberland. The son of Hon. Charles Montagu, MP, by Sarah Rogers, and the grandson of Edward Montagu, 1st Earl of Sandwich, he was educated at Eton College, Clare College, Cambridge and Lincoln's Inn.

In 1730 he became the leaseholder of the small estate of Sandleford, south of Newbury on the Berkshire-Hampshire border, and in 1742 he married Elizabeth Robinson (despite her seeing marriage as a rational and expedient convention rather than something done out of love).  At that date, she was twenty-two and he was fifty years old.  The marriage was advantageous, but it was apparently not very passionate.  All the same, she bore a son, John, the next year, and she loved her child immensely.  When John died unexpectedly in 1744, Elizabeth was devastated and, though the couple remained friendly throughout their remaining time together, there were no more children or pregnancies.

In December 1745 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, on the grounds of being a gentleman of great merit, well versed in mathematical and Philosophical Learning, curious in most of the branches of natural learning, his proposers were Montagu; Martin Folkes; William Jones; John Machin; Shallet Turner; Abraham de Moivre; Peter Davall (d.1763, the society's secretary); and his brother-in-law George L. Scott.

Beginning in 1750, he and Elizabeth established a routine where they would winter in London in Mayfair and then, in the spring, go to Sandleford Priory.  He would then go on to Northumberland and Yorkshire to manage his holdings, while she would occasionally accompany him.  In the late 1760s, he fell ill, and his wife took care of him, although she resented giving up her freedom.  He died on 20 May 1776, in his eighty-fourth year, bequeathing her all his wealth and property.

MP for Huntingdon
For over 30 years, from 1734–1768, Montagu was MP for the borough of Huntingdon, a seat controlled by his cousin John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich.

Old Westminsters F.C. is an association football club composed of former pupils of Westminster School, London, England. They play in the Arthurian League.

History

Westminster has an historic joint claim to a major role in the development of Association Football, which remains the school's largest sport. During the 1840s at both Westminster and Charterhouse, pupils' surroundings meant they were confined to playing their football in the cloisters, making the rough and tumble of the handling game that was developing at other schools such as Rugby impossible, and necessitating a new code of rules.  During the formulation of the rules of association football in the 1860s representatives of Westminster School and Charterhouse also pushed for a passing game, in particular rules that allowed forward passing ("passing on"). Other schools (in particular Eton College and Harrow) favoured a dribbling game with a tight off-side rule. By 1867 the Football Association had chosen in favour of the Westminster and Charterhouse game and adopted an off-side rule that permitted forward passing. The modern forward-passing game was a direct consequence of Westminster and Charterhouse Football.

From the 1860s, many of the school's old boys sought to continue playing some sort of football game after leaving.  In 1861 for instance an eleven from Trinity College, Cambridge, eight of whom were Old Westminsters, returned to their alma mater for a friendly match.  Formal Old Westminster sides played the school regularly in the 1860s.

Many former Westminster pupils, including Walpole Vidal and W.J. Dixon, also played for ad hoc or gentlemen's teams in the 1860s and 1870s.  The Crusaders club was formed out of former Westminster and Eton pupils, and the Wanderers was also a favoured club for Westminster pupils.  At Christmas 1867, because a proposed association match between Eton College and Westminster School could not take place, a match was instead held between Old Westminsters and Old Etonians, the first proper 'external' match for a side made up solely of Westminster old boys.

As these other clubs took off, there was less need for a formal Old Westminster side, until, with increasing numbers of footballers coming out of the schools as well as from new sporting clubs, players gradually tended to prefer to play for a club that was closer to their ideals or hearts.  Consequently, with clubs such as the Old Etonians and Old Harrovians coming to the fore, in 1880 a formal Old Westminsters club was formed.

FA Cup entries

This was just too late to be successful on a national level, as clubs from outside London were beginning to take over the game.  With the FA Cup being run on a regional basis until the latter rounds, the Old Westminsters were often the best side from the capital, reaching the quarter-final on three occasions.  The closest the club came to reaching the semi-final was in 1883–84, after a number of leading clubs had been disqualified for professionalism; the club lost 1–0 to Queen's Park of Glasgow at the Kennington Oval.

The true gap to professionals was shown in 1885–86, when the club easily won past Hotspur of Battersea, the Old Brightonians, and the amateur Romford; the disqualification of Bolton Wanderers for fielding ineligible professionals in an earlier round meant the first professional side the club met was West Bromwich Albion in the quarter-finals, and the Albion won 6–0.  The following year the club beat three old boy teams, and beat Partick Thistle at the Oval with a last-minute winner, but was easily beaten by Glasgow Rangers.  The Westminsters could not field their strongest side while Rangers brought in guest players from Vale of Leven F.C. and Hibernian F.C., who had not entered the competition.

After qualifying rounds were brought in, in 1888–89, the club was exempted to the first round proper, but was unlucky to be drawn away to Burnley of the Football League; with both sides unable to field their best sides, Burnley because of qualification rules and Westminsters because of the journey, the match ended 4–3 to the home side, after the Westminsters pulled the score back from 3–1 at half-time to 3–3 near the end.  The Westminsters protested the result, on the basis that the match finished in a snowstorm, to no avail.

The club was exempted again for the next two years, losing to Stoke in 1889–90 and scratching to West Bromwich Albion in 1890–91 after being unable to raise an eleven, and, once the exemption was over, won through to the first round proper in 1891–92; yet again the club was drawn against West Bromwich Albion, but this time at home, so the game took place at the Oval, in front of a crowd of 6-7,000.  The 3–2 defeat to Albion was the club's last match in the FA Cup proper, and a loss to Luton Town in the third qualifying round in 1893–94 was the club's last match in the competition itself.

Amateur competitions

At the amateur level, the club was originally very successful, winning the London Senior Cup in 1887 (joint winners), 1888, 1890, 1892 and 1893.  The Old Westminsters also had a share in the 1886 win; the champion club - Ashburnham Rovers - was a short-lived collaboration between current and former pupils of the school, although it was "practically" an Old Westminster side. The club has never won the Arthur Dunn Cup for old boy teams, twice being runners-up.

Colours

The club originally wore pink and white, as a contrast to the school's plain pink.  The current side wears pink shirts and black shorts.

Ground

During its Victorian heyday, the club played at Vincent Square, although its more prestigious friendlies and Cup ties were played at the Kennington Oval.  The club currently plays at Bacons College Sports Ground in Rotherhithe.

England internationals
Several Old Westminsters were capped for England:

Stanley S. Harris (4 caps)
Alban Harrison (2 caps)
Billy Moon (7 caps)
Rupert Sandilands (5 caps)
John Veitch (1 cap)
William Winckworth (2 cap)

On 25 February 1893 Alban Harrison, Rupert Sandilands and William Winckworth, played together in the match against Ireland, with Winckworth and Sandilands both scoring in a 6-1 victory.

A gust or wind gust is a brief increase in the speed of the wind, usually less than 20 seconds. It is of a more transient character than a squall, which lasts minutes, and is followed by a lull or slackening in the wind speed. Generally, winds are least gusty over large water surfaces and most gusty over rough land and near high buildings.

Definition

The wind is measured using an anemometer or estimated with a windsock. The average value of wind speed is generally measured over a period of 2 minutes before the meteorological observation according to the World Meteorological Organization. Any significant variation at this mean wind during the ten minutes preceding the observation are noted as gusts in messages such as METAR.

It is generally reported in METAR when the peak wind speed reaches at least 16 knots and the variation in wind speed between the peaks and average wind is at least 9 to 10 knots. In marine meteorology, the top speed of a burst is expressed in meters per second (m/s) or in knots, while the Beaufort scale is used for reporting the mean speed. When the maximum speed exceeds the average speed by 10 to 15 knots, the term gusts is used while strong gusts is used for departure of 15 to 25 knots, and violent gusts when it exceeds 25 knots.

Liu Wenzhe (; October 7, 1940 – September 20, 2011) was an  International Master chess player. He was one of China's top chess trainers.

Liu Wenzhe played for Guangdong chess club in the China Chess League (CCL).

Chess career

He was the first Chinese player to defeat a grandmaster (Nikolai Krogius in 1965) and the first to be awarded the title of International Master. He is considered a pioneer of chess in China and a founding father of the Chinese School of Chess. He won the Chinese Chess Championship in 1980 and 1982.

Two years after the end of the Cultural Revolution and Mao Zedong's death and the fall of the Gang of Four in 1976, China competed in their first Olympiad in Buenos Aires. It was there that Liu Wenzhe defeated grandmaster Jan Hein Donner of the Netherlands in crushing style after only 20 moves. It remains his best known game:
Liu Wenzhe—Donner, Buenos Aires Olympiad, 1978. Pirc Defence (ECO B07)1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Be2 Bg7 5.g4 h6 6.h3 c5 7.d5 O-O? 8.h4 e6 9.g5 hxg5 10.hxg5 Ne8 11.Qd3 exd5 12.Nxd5 Nc6 13.Qg3 Be6 14.Qh4 f5 15.Qh7+ Kf7 (diagram) 16.Qxg6+! Kxg6 17.Bh5+ Kh7 18.Bf7+ Bh6 19.g6+ Kg7 20.Bxh6+ 1-0

In total, Liu made three appearances at the Chess Olympiads (1978–1982) with an overall record of 37 games played (+14, =4, -19). He also made four appearances in total at the Men's Asian Team Chess Championship (1979–1981, 1991–1993) with an overall record of 17 games played (+10, =4, -3).

In 1986 he was appointed to the post of Chief Trainer of the Chinese Institute of Chess and head coach of the Chinese national chess team. He was succeeded by Ye Jiangchuan in 2000.

In 2002-3, he wrote a seminal book on the "Chinese School of Chess" called the same name (see Further reading). In the book he charts the dramatic progress of Chinese players over the past 25 years. The books also highlighted training methods that the Chinese chess players have been deploying successfully.

Quotes
"Systematically training players is more important than selecting them."—Liu Wenzhe, head coach, women's Chinese Olympic team.

Ernest George Schwiebert (1931–2005) was born in Chicago on June 5, 1931. An architect by profession, Ernest "Ernie" Schwiebert was a renowned angler and angling author. Schwiebert spent his childhood in the Midwest, attended high school at New Trier, north of Chicago, earned his bachelor's degree in architecture from Ohio State University, and earned two doctorates at Princeton in architecture and the history and philosophy of architecture.

Life story
Ernest Schwiebert married Sara Mills in 1957 and had one son (Erik) and two grandchildren (Elisabeth and Turner). Having served in the Air Force, he specialized in planning airports and military bases. Traveling on business, he also visited some of the world's best fishing streams, feeding a passion that had begun during boyhood vacations on the Pere Marquette River in Michigan. In 1977 he left the engineering firm of Tippets, Abbott, McCarthy & Stratton, New York. He made scholarly contributions throughout his life as a writer, architect, and student of the art and science of fly fishing for trout and salmon. He wrote more than 15 books about fly fishing and architecture.

Ernest Schwiebert, also known as Ernie, was a pioneer in the fishery conservation movement and was involved in the founding of Trout Unlimited, Theodore Gordon Flyfishers and the Federation of Fly Fishers. He has served as a Director of both Theodore Gordon Flyfishers and the Atlantic Salmon Federation, and on the scientific advisory boards of TU, FFF and The Nature Conservancy. In recognition of his contributions, a Trout Unlimited Chapter in New Jersey is named for him.

Ernest Schwiebert Chapter Trout Unlimited #227 was founded July 28, 1974. The chapter’s website is https://www.esctu.org/ and its local waters are Stony Brook. ESCTU maintains a social media presence on Facebook and Instagram.

He was best known for his extensive writings about fly-fishing. His books include Matching the Hatch (1955), Nymphs (1973), Salmon of the World (1970), and the two-volume Trout (1978). He wrote numerous magazine articles and short stories which were published in such collections as Remembrances of Rivers Past (1972), Death of a Riverkeeper (1980), and A River for Christmas (1988). An often referenced and quoted writer, Schwiebert has over twelve references in Arnold Gingrich’s book The Fishing in Print and fourteen references in Paul Schullery’s American Fly Fishing, A History. Gingrich considered Schwiebert’s position impregnable as the leading angling author of our time and that he had an impressive ability to absorb entomological detail and convert it into pleasing prose for his readers.

Awards
His numerous awards and honors included the Gold Medal of the American Institute of Architects, The Arnold Gingrich Literary Prize (1978 Federation of Flyfishers), the Aldo Starker Leopold Memorial Award (1994 International Wild Trout Symposium), and life memberships with the Theodore Gordon Flyfishers, Federation of Flyfishers, and The Anglers' Club of New York. He was a member of the Henryville Flyfishers, the Spring Ridge Club, and many other anglers clubs.

Quotations
The following excerpt from the closing speech at 2005 opening ceremonies at the American Museum of Fly Fishing typifies the eloquence of Ernie Schwiebert and his writings.

I will conclude with a story.

My obsession with fishing began in childhood, watching bluegills and pumpkinseeds and perch under a rickety dock, below a simple cedar-shingled cottage in southern Michigan. My obsession with trout began there too, when my mother drove north into town for groceries, and took me along with the promise of chocolate ice cream. We crossed a stream that was utterly unlike those near Chicago, fetid and foul-smelling, or choked with the silts of farm-country tillage. It flowed swift and crystalline over the bottom of ochre cobblestones and pebbles and like Hemingway’s “Big Two-Hearted River,” it mysteriously disappeared into thickets of cedar sweepers downstream.

And a man was fishing there.

The current was smooth, but it tumbled swiftly around his legs. It was a different kind of fishing, utterly unlike watching a red-and-white bobber on a tepid childhood pond, with its lilypad and cattail margins, and its callings of redwinged blackbirds. His amber line worked back and forth in the sunlight, and he dropped his fly on the water briefly, only to tease it free of the current, and strip the moisture from its barbules with more casting. It seemed more like the grace of ballet than fishing.

And then the man hooked a fish.

My mother called to the angler, and gave me permission to run and see his prize. I remember getting my feet muddy and wet, with a Biblical plague of cockleburrs at my ankles, but it did not matter. The fish was still in the man’s landing met, and he raised it dripping and shining in his hand. It was a brook trout of six inches, its dorsal surfaces drak with blue and olive vermiculations, and its flanks clouded with dusky parr markings. Its belly and lower fins were a bright tangerine, with edgings of alabaster and ebony, and it glowed like a jeweler’s tray of opals and moonstones and rubies. I had witnessed something beautiful, and I wanted to be part of it.

People often ask why I fish, and after seventy-odd years, I am beginning to understand.

I fish because of Beauty.

Everything about our sport (and our cause in terms of TU) is beautiful. Its more than five centuries of manuscript and books and folios are beautiful. Its artifacts of rods and beautifully machined reels are beautiful. Its old wading staffs and split-willow creels, and the delicate artifice of its flies, are beautiful. Dressing such confections of fur, feathers and steel is beautiful, and our worktables are littered with gorgeous scraps of tragopan and golden pheasant and blue chattered and Coq de Leon. The best of sporting art is beautiful. The riverscapes that sustain the fish are beautiful. Our methods of seeking them are beautiful, and we find ourselves enthralled with the quicksilver poetry of the fish.

And in our contentious time of partisan hubris, selfishness, and outright mendacity, Beauty itself may prove the most endangered thing of all.

Bible Land was a free roadside attraction, originally located in Temecula, California, and later moved to  Yucaipa, California along Interstate 10. Built in Temecula during the late 1960s by sand sculptor Ted Conibear, the attraction featured sand sculptures of various scenes primarily of the New Testament, including a life-sized rendition of the Last Supper. The Last Supper scene was covered by a cavelike structure, likely to both protect the delicate sand sculpture from weather and also to recreate the indoor environment of the original painting.

Conibear, who traveled the American Southwest as an itinerant artist and sand sculptor, maintained the attraction until his death in 1994.  His son, Don Conibear, attempted to keep the landmark intact but found it unfeasible for various reasons. The sculptures had been badly eroded by wind and insects, and Conibear felt that any type of restoration effort would in-authenticate the work of his father. Conibear also looked for someone new to maintain the sculptures and investors to keep the site running but did not find either. It was believed that Ted Conibear had told his son Don to destroy the sculptures so that they would not fall victim to vandalism, but the son reportedly debunked that rumor online in 2011.
The former site, a short distance east of the Live Oak Canyon Road exit along the northern shoulder of Interstate 10, remains empty and undeveloped.

Monica Aspelund (born 16 July 1946 in Vaasa) is a Finnish singer. She is the older sister of Ami Aspelund.

Life and career
Born into a family of Swedish speaking Finns, Aspelund danced and sang in talent shows from an early age, making her recording debut at age fourteen  with "Katso, kenguru loikkaa" a children's song recorded in the autumn of 1960. Aspelund's subsequent singles included Finnish language covers of international hits such as "Tahdon kaikki kirjeet takaisin" ("I'm Gonna Knock on Your Door" - Eddie Hodges, 1961), Lady Sunshine ja Mister Moon" ("Lady Sunshine und Mister Moon" - Conny Froboess, 1962) and "En Ilman Häntä Olla" ("I Couldn't Live Without Your Love" - Petula Clark, 1966). As a young woman Aspelund worked as a commercial artist not embarking on a full-time singing career until 1973 when her recordings included a Finnish cover of the Ireen Sheer hit "Goodbye Mama". Also in 1973 Aspelund spent time in Sweden as a member of the group Family Four. In 1974 Aspelund had her first album release, Valkoiset laivat – Sininen meri, a specialty recording commissioned by the Silja Line comprising performances of nautical themed songs by Aspelund and Kai Lind.

Aspelund had been collaborating with Aarno Raninen from 1970 and in 1975 Aspelund had her first mainstream album release with the Monica & Aaron Raninen Orkesteri. The album included "Fasten Seatbelts", which was Aspelund's first entry in the Finnish national preliminary of the Eurovision Song Contest. Aspelund  again competed in the Finnish national preliminary for Eurovision in 1976, with the song "Joiku". Aspelund finally won that competition in 1977, with "Lapponia", which at the Eurovision 1977 final held on 7 May 1977, was placed tenth in a field of eighteen. The song's moderate Eurovision placing did not preclude its release in twenty European countries, as well as Australia, Brazil, Israel and Turkey, via the recordings Aspelund made of the song in Dutch, English, French, German and Swedish as well as Finnish. "Lapponia" afforded Aspelund a number 5 hit in Finland and the record also reached number 20 in Sweden. Aspelund again competed in the Finnish national preliminary for Eurovision in 1978 with "Kultaa hopeaa", and with the same song in the Intervision Song Contest and also the Menschen Und Meer Song Festival, taking first place in the last-named competition.

On 30 September 1978, Aspelund was a passenger aboard Finnair Flight 405, which was hijacked by a lone gunman. Aspelund and the rest of the passengers and crew were freed when the hijacker departed from the plane.

Circa 1980 Aspelund, who had just been divorced, relocated with her two-year-old son to Lake Worth, Florida. She performed locally and on Caribbean cruise ships making periodic visits to Finland and Sweden, notably in 1986 when she headlined in the stage musical Cats in Helsinki. It was reported in 2010 that Aspelund had recently returned to Finland on a permanent basis.

Franny Armstrong (born 3 February 1972) is a British documentary film director working for her own company, Spanner Films, and a former drummer with indie pop group The Band of Holy Joy. She is best known for three films: The Age of Stupid, a reflection from 2055 about climate change, McLibel, about the McDonald's court case and Drowned Out, following the fight against the Narmada Dam Project.

Armstrong pioneered the use of crowdfunding for independent films and developed an innovative form of film distribution known as Indie Screenings. Her most recent project is the carbon reduction campaign 10:10 which she founded in the UK in September 2009, and which is now active in more than 50 countries. On International Women's Day, 8 March 2011, she was named as one of The Guardian newspaper's "Top 100 Women", in a list which included Aung San Suu Kyi, Gareth Peirce, Doris Lessing, Arundhati Roy and Oprah Winfrey. Her father is the television producer Peter Armstrong.

Education
Armstrong read zoology at University College London and her thesis was Is the human species suicidal?

Career
Armstrong's first documentary, McLibel (1997, 2005), is an account of the McDonald's libel trial, the longest-running court action in English legal history. Filmed over ten years with no commission, no budget and a voluntary crew – including Ken Loach, who directed the courtroom reconstructions – it gained attention when lawyers prevented its broadcast, first at BBC One and then at Channel 4 in 1997. Eight years later - after the 'McLibel Two' had defeated the British government at the European Court of Human Rights – it was finally broadcast on BBC2 at 10.30pm on a Sunday, to an estimated 1 million viewers.

It was well received by critics, with Time Out crediting Armstrong with "gusto and wit" in telling a story that "will satisfy both head and heart". The Guardian concluded that McLibel was "absolutely unmissable".

McLibel was broadcast on television in 15 countries, and in cinemas in the US in summer 2005, and this was followed in the UK in 2006. McLibel was nominated for numerous awards, including the Grierson Documentary Award and the British Independent Film Awards.  It was one of only two British films, with the other being Michael Buerk's original news report which inspired Live Aid, picked for the British Film Institute's prestigious series, "Ten Documentaries which Changed the World".

Armstrong's second feature documentary, Drowned Out (2002), follows an Indian family who chose to stay at home and drown rather than make way for the Narmada Dam. It was nominated for Best Documentary at the British Independent Film Awards 2004 and was released theatrically in America and on DVD in 2006.

Armstrong released The Age of Stupid (formerly known as Crude) in March 2009. It's a film that warns of the catastrophic effects of climate change using a mix of factual documentary and post-apocalyptic fictional styles. The film's UK premiere was on 15 March 2009, in London's Leicester Square. The screening was held in a solar-powered 'cinema tent' and conducted without use of mains electricity. An independent audit conducted by Carbon Accounting Systems found the event's carbon emissions to be 1% of those produced by a normal blockbuster premiere. Linked by satellite to 62 cinemas around the UK, the premiere received a Guinness World Record for being the largest film premiere ever, based on number of screens.

The complete five-year production of The Age of Stupid was made into a film and launched exclusively on the Guardian website. It was later broadcast on the UK's terrestrial TV network, The Community Channel (UK).

Through her company, Spanner Films, Armstrong pioneered the "crowdfunding" finance model, which allows filmmakers to raise reasonable-size budgets whilst retaining ownership of their films. The Age of Stupid raised £900,000 from over 600 investors.

Armstrong also developed the "Indie Screenings" distribution system, which lets anyone make a profit by holding screenings of independent films. The producers maintain a running total of all the people who have seen Spanner's films, Armstrong's production company, via cinema, TV and local screenings, as of January 2011 it stands at just over 61 million.

At the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen in December 2009, Armstrong presented a daily web TV show, The Stupid Show, which aimed to "make sense of humankind's most important get-together".

In September 2009, Armstrong founded the 10:10 climate campaign which aims to help all sectors of society to aim for a 10% cut 10% in their carbon emissions in 12 months. The campaign has amassed huge cross-societal support including household names such as Adidas, Microsoft, and Tottenham Hotspur F.C. The campaign launched globally in 2010 and is now active in over 50 countries.

In October 2010, a short film, written by Richard Curtis, entitled No Pressure was released by the 10:10 campaign in Britain to spread awareness of climate change.  The video was subsequently taken down from the organization's website due to very negative reception and offence taken. However, it is still available in several places, including YouTube. It depicted a series of scenes in which people were asked if they were going to participate in 10:10.  Those who indicated they weren't planning on participating were told "no pressure" and then blown up in a gory explosion at the press of a red button. In response to questions about the message of the film, Armstrong replied, "We 'killed' five people to make No Pressure – a mere blip compared to the 300,000 real people who now die each year from climate change".

In March 2014, Armstrong announced her new project Undercovers, a television drama series about the undercover police officers who infiltrated the British activist scene for 50 years, and the women who unknowingly had longterm relationships and even children with the spies. The series is being written by Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire, Hunger Games, Full Monty), Alice Nutter, and Franny Armstrong, produced by Spanner Films and executive produced by Tony Garnett. Filming is due to start in Autumn 2014, with an early 2015 release.

Armstrong is Professor of Film at the University of Wolverhampton.

Pie Net Zero, a comedic short film about climate change and biosequestration efforts in South West England written by Armstrong and comedian Tom Walker and featuring Armstrong as herself and Walker's character Jonathan Pie, was released in 2020.

Rescue by Boris Johnson
On 2 November 2009, Armstrong was threatened in the streets of north London by three girls whom she described as looking "like something straight out of central casting". They pushed her against a car and pulled out an iron bar. She cried for help and was rescued by Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, who was cycling by. He chased off the attackers and then insisted on escorting Armstrong home. During this 20-minute journey, she suggested that he adopt the 10:10 policy for the tube and that he pedestrianise Camden Town. He replied that he wanted to pedestrianise areas across London.

She thanked him with a 10:10 badge and a copy of Age of Stupid. When interviewed afterwards, she praised him as her "knight on a shining bicycle". Politically, she still preferred his predecessor Ken Livingstone, for whom she had campaigned but allowed that "If you find yourself down a dark alleyway and in trouble I think Boris would be of more use than Ken".

Cavendish Square is a public garden square in Marylebone in the West End of London. It has a double-helix underground commercial car park. Its northern road forms ends of four streets: of Wigmore Street that runs to Portman Square in the much larger Portman Estate to the west; of Harley Street which runs an alike distance; of Chandos Street which runs for one block and; of Cavendish Place which runs the same. The south side itself is modern: the rear façade and accesses to a flagship department store and office block. On the ground floors facing are Comptoir Libanais, Royal Bank of Scotland and Pret a Manger premises.

Oxford Circus 150m south-east is where two main shopping streets meet. Only the south is broken by a full-width street, Holles Street. which also runs one block only; the north is broken by Dean's Mews in which Nos. 11–13 exist, the office conversion of a nunnery, retaining a chapel in its rear.

Planning permission was granted in April 2020 for a subterranean health and wellbeing development of 280,000 square feet across four storeys below ground level.

History

It was first laid out for the 2nd Earl of Oxford by architect John Prince, beginning in 1717 as the first development on the Earl's London estate.  It was named after the Earl's wife Henrietta Cavendish-Holles, but the bursting of the South Sea Bubble delayed further work.  It included nobles' London rentals and longer leases including James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos (whose house was never completed), Princess Amelia (in which house she died), and the Lane Baronets. The heir to the main landowner, Duke of Portland lived his London life here. It measures 408 to 420 feet across.

A blue plaque unveiled in 1951 commemorates H. H. Asquith,  the Liberal Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1908 to 1916, having long lived at No. 20. Another is to Quintin Hogg, founder of what is now the University of Westminster and the flagship building of the university backs on to his former family home.  The square hosts the Royal College of Nursing headquarters and the West London Synagogue. Near to Harley Street, some of the grand townhouses accommodate medical practices such as those of James Paget.  Artist Robert William Sievier lived on the square, and David Williams, founder of the Royal Literary Fund, ran a chapel.  Frances Fanshawe, wife of  Abraham Blackborne, grandson of Richard Levett, Lord Mayor of London, died at her home on Margaret Street, an approach way, in 1795 and was buried at Kew.

The square features in Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde as the home of Dr Lanyon, Jekyll's former best friend.

The bronze statue on the south side is of (William) George Frederick Cavendish Bentinck (1802–1848). Known simply as Lord George Bentinck, he was MP for King's Lynn, Norfolk. The statue is by Thomas Campbell and was erected in 1848. A statue of Prince William, Duke of Cumberland was erected in 1770, following his defeat of Charles Edward Stuart at Culloden in 1746, but was removed in the 1860s after public opinion of him had changed. The plinth remained empty until 2012, when it housed a temporary artwork Written in Soap, A Plinth Project; a similar sculpture but made in soap gradually eroded until it was removed in 2016.

The square was targeted on 17 December 1992 by the Provisional Irish Republican Army, 15 minutes after another small bomb at John Lewis. Four people were injured in total.

Parking
Underground is vehicle parking for 521 cars and 83 motorcycles. Operated by Q-Park, it is promoted for Oxford Street.  It unusually has the form of a double helix (a twin-start screw).  Vehicles are parked on either side of a continuously descending right-hand helix with one-way traffic.  At the bottom, cars are directed diametrically across, to find a left-hand ascending helix, also one-way with parking on either side, sandwiched between the turns of the descending helix.  It has no pedestrian lift (as of 2013). Parking near the beginning or end makes shortest walks. But having hoped for the latter and finding them full will result in the need for a second pass.  Oxford Circus (corner-to-corner 150 m south-east), a slightly longer journey by any southern approach along John Prince's Street, is where two main shopping streets meet.

By 2022 a pedestrian lift had been installed, which rises to an exit on the south side of Cavendish Square. The excavated location under most of the middle of Cavendish Square was originally dug as an access shaft for construction of the Victoria Line Underground in the mid-1960s, with a further horizontal access tunnel towards Oxford Circus station. The excavation was adapted for the car park after completion of this.

Epstein statue and bridge

In the 19th century, №s 11, 12 and 13 on the middle of the northern range had become a convent with an interconnecting tunnel, under Dean's Mews. After damage of the London Blitz the nuns commissioned architect Louis Osman to restore the building and create a bridge between the two. He approached Jacob Epstein for a Virgin and Child that would "levitate" above the arch and specified that it should be cast in lead which was plentiful from the bombed roofs. However, Osman did not inform the mother superior that the sculptor was Jewish, which may have been an objection among some Catholics at the time. However, the Arts Council congratulated her on her "innovative choice of artist" and Epstein's work was unveiled in 1953. This work is Grade II* listed (protected in the mid-rarity category).

Reconciliation in family law is the process by which parties who are legally separated resume their marital relationship and cohabitation.

Reconciliation is allowed because separation is revocable; state laws may require "the joint application of the parties, accompanied  with satisfactory evidence of their reconciliation ... by the court which rendered it, subject to such regulations and restrictions as the court thinks fit to impose."

Timur Askaruly Kulibay (, born 10 September 1966) is a Kazakh business oligarch and son-in-law of former Kazakh president Nursultan Nazarbayev.

Kulibayev has held several positions in important state-owned enterprises that manage Kazakhstan's natural resources and has immense influence over the country's hydrocarbon industry. He is the former head  of Samruk-Kazyna (Kazakstan's sovereign wealth fund) and a member of the Board of Directors of the Gazprom company from 2011 to 2022. In 2020, the Financial Times reported that Kulibayev was involved in schemes to skim at least tens of millions of dollars from contracts that the Kazakhstani state made on pipeline construction.

, he had an estimated net worth of $3.7billion. Kulibayev has been called "the most important business figure" in the Republic of Kazakhstan by The Daily Telegraph.

Early life and education
Kulibayev was born on 10 September 1966 in Alma-Ata (now Almaty), Kazakh SSR, USSR. In 1988, he graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University after studying "National Economy Planning".

Business career
From 1988 to 1992, he was a junior research assistant at the Scientific-Research Economics Institute of Planning and Normative Standards (SREIP&NS) under the State Plan of Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, and was a director of the Scientific-Consulting Center of the Fund of Cultural, Social, Scientific and Technological Development of Kazakhstan.

The appointment Kulibayev to the Board of Directors of the Russian largest energy company shows the particular importance of economic cooperation between Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation, as well as a recognition of high professional qualities of the Chief Executive of Samruk-Kazyna Fund.

On 26 December 2011, Kulibayev resigned from the post of Chairman of the Board of Samruk-Kazyna.

Kulibayev joined the board of Gazprom in 2011. In March 2022, he resigned from Gazprom's board with immediate effect.

Since June 2008, he has been Chairman of the Kazakhstan National Committee of the World Petroleum Council.

In 2020, the Financial Times reported on emails and whistleblower information which showed that staff for Kulibayev was involved in schemes that would allow Kulibayev to skim at least tens of millions of dollars from contracts that the Kazakhstani state made on pipeline construction. Kulibayev has denied the allegations.

Due to the 2022 Kazakh unrest, Kulibayev and his wife Dinara lost $200million after Halyk Bank fell 16% at the London Stock Exchange.

Personal life
Kulibayev is married to Dinara Nursultanovna (née Nazarbayeva), daughter of Kazakhstan's long-time president Nursultan Nazarbayev who is extremely close to Vladimir Putin. She and Kulibayev have three children. Kulibayev also has two children with entrepreneur and socialite Goga Ashkenazi.

In 2007, Kulibayev (with the help of Kazakhstani investor Kenes Rakishev) became the owner of Sunninghill Park, a country house formerly belonging to Prince Andrew, after Fergie and their daughters left the property in 2006. Kulibayev paid $19.7million for the house, $4million over the asking price, even though there were no other bids. In 2016 it was demolished and a 14-bedroom mansion was built in its place.

Kulibayev is an avid fan of sports, especially golf. He is a president of Kazakhstani Boxing Federation.

Robon is a clone of Berzerk for the ZX Spectrum written by Andrew Beale and released by Softek in 1983. The game's documentation refers to it as a "version of the popular arcade game."

Reception
Crash magazine said, "This Frenzy / Berserk game, unlike most of Softek’s other programs, is not very good. At the slowest of the nine skill levels it’s a bit boring, and at the fastest it’s quite meaningless. The usual format is followed; electrified walls, robots, unkillable ‘Raboks’ which leave exploding mines behind".

The Southern Aurora was an overnight express passenger train that operated between Australia's two largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne. First-class throughout, including the dining facilities, the Southern Aurora featured all-sleeper accommodation. The train first ran on 13 April 1962 after the opening of the North East standard gauge line from Melbourne to Albury, eliminating the break-of-gauge between the capital cities.

A fleet of 34 stainless steel carriages was jointly purchased by the Department of Railways New South Wales and Victorian Railways featuring fluted sides and consisted of roomette and twinette sleepers, lounge cars and diners. A motorail service was added from July 1973 which enabled passengers to travel and take their cars.

On 7 February 1969 the train was involved in the Violet Town railway disaster, when the southbound Southern Aurora collided head on with a northbound freight train, resulting in eight deaths and the destruction of two S class locomotives and seven carriages.

With declining passenger numbers, it was decided to combine the Spirit of Progress and Southern Aurora into one train, the Sydney/Melbourne Express. The Southern Aurora ran for the last time on 2 August 1986.

After the demise of sleeper trains in the early 1990s, many of the carriages passed to the Australian Railway Historical Society, Canberra Railway Museum and New South Wales Rail Transport Museum (now the NSW Rail Museum) who have maintained them in operational condition. The latter often operates them on tours under the Southern Aurora banner.

From December 2017 four NAM Twinette carriages were restored at the Lithgow State Mine Heritage Park & Railway on behalf of Vintage Rail Journeys. From September 2019, two LAN Roomette carriages, one NAM Twinette carriage and one MHN Luggage were restored at Goulburn Locomotive Roundhouse on behalf of Vintage Rail Journeys.
