History

The station began service on December 1, 1888, as the terminal of the Japanese Government Railways between  (near the Sea of Japan coast) and Karuizawa. The line was extended from Karuizawa to  through the Usui Pass on April 1, 1893, completing the trunk line between  (connecting to a Nippon Railway line to Ueno Station in Tokyo) and Naoetsu, which was later named the Shinetsu Main Line. At Karuizawa, all trains were coupled with or separated from helper locomotives that were required for all trains to go through the Usui Pass section.

When the Japanese National Railways (JNR) were divided and privatized on April 1, 1987, Shinetsu Main Line became a part of the system of East Japan Railway Company (JR East). On October 1, 1997, JR East opened the Nagano Shinkansen with a stop at Karuizawa. At the same time, JR East ceased to operate the conventional Shinetsu Main Line between Yokokawa and , of which, the section between Yokokawa and Karuizawa (Usui Pass) was closed permanently and the remaining section was transferred to Shinano Railway. Since then, Karuizawa Station has been shared by JR East and Shinano Railway.

Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2015, the JR East portion of the station was used by an average of 2,889 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).

(1647 – 1 November 1709) was an early kabuki actor of the Genroku period in Japan.  He was a pioneer of the wagoto style, and of Kamigata kabuki more generally. His influence persists in the lineage of actors who have taken up his artistic mantle.

Life and career
Tōjūrō was born in Kyoto in 1647; his father, Sakata Ichiemon, was a theatre owner. Sakata Tōjūrō was actor-manager (zagashira) of the Mandayū Theatre in Kyoto; and during this period, the house playwright Chikamatsu Monzaemon. Chikamatsu praised the actor's craft, including careful attention to the dramatic requirements of the script and encouraging other actors to study the actual details of a character's circumstances.

He played tachiyaku roles.

In February 1678, Tōjūrō organized and performed in a play called Yūgiri Nagori no Shōgatsu which centered upon Osaka's famous and popular courtesan Yūgiri, who had died the previous month. It was in this play that Tōjūrō first pioneered the wagoto style of restrained, emotional, and realistic or naturalistic acting. This play would set the precedent not only for on-stage acting styles in Kamigata kabuki, but also for plot elements and structure. Kuruwa Bunshō, a play heavily based on Yūgiri Nagori no Shōgatsu, and first performed in 1808, remains today one of the core pieces in the Kamigata repertoire.

After a number of years in Osaka, Tōjūrō returned to Kyoto, where he continued performing regularly. The year 1693 saw the premiere, at the Miyako Mandayū theatre, of Butsumo Mayasan Kaichō, the first of a number of plays written by the great bunraku playwright Chikamatsu Monzaemon specifically for Tōjūrō.

As zamoto, Tōjūrō not only performed regularly, but oversaw the production of plays along with the management and upkeep of the theatre. In addition to performing at his own Miyako Mandayū theatre, he performed at Kyoto theatres owned by Hayagumo Chōdayū, Kameya Kumenojō, and Hoteiya Umenojō, the last of which was managed by his son, Sakata Heishichirō.

He is particularly famous for performing alongside Yoshizawa Ayame I, the chief pioneer onnagata, specializing in playing only female roles. Tōjūrō is also known for his friendship with Edo actor Nakamura Shichisaburō I, whom he met when the latter was on tour in Kamigata in 1698. Along with Ayame, Tōjūrō features prominently in the Actors' Analects, a collection of Genroku-era (1688–1704) writings on kabuki, containing primarily insights into the lives of kabuki actors, their insights and advice on acting.

Over the course of his career, Tōjūrō played a great many roles, perhaps most frequently that of Fujiya Izaemon, the male lead and Yūjiri's lover in the various versions of Yūgiri Nagori no Shōgatsu which were written and produced over the years. It was in this role that he made his wagoto debut in the 1678 production of Yūgiri Nagori no Shōgatsu, and in which he made his final stage appearance, in an October 1708 production by the same name.

Unlike his Edo counterpart, Ichikawa Danjūrō I, Tōjūrō's line lasted a very few generations and died out less than a century after his death. His sons Sakata Tōkurō and Sakata Heishichirō were active in the kabuki world, but neither succeeded to the Tōjūrō name. Rather, Sakata Tōjūrō II was an unrelated disciple of the first Tōjūrō; His successor, Sakata Tōjūrō III, was a distant relative of the first Tōjūrō. adopted by Tōjūrō II adopted Tōjūrō III as his son and heir.

Following the death of Tōjūrō III in 1774, no one held the name of Sakata Tōjūrō for over 230 years, until in 2005, the third Nakamura Ganjirō revived the name, becoming Sakata Tōjūrō IV.

Lineage
 Sakata Tōjūrō I  (1646–1709) - Originated the wagoto form; innovator of Genroku kabuki.
 Sakata Tōjūrō II (1711–1724) - Student of Tōjūrō I.
 Sakata Tōjūrō III (1739–1774) - Adopted son of Tōjūrō II.
 Sakata Tōjūrō IV (2005–present) - Formerly Nakamura Ganjirō IV. Took on the name in order to revive the lineage, and as part of a greater effort to maintain Kamigata kabuki.

Red Rose Radio is the first UK Independent Local Radio station to be licensed for Lancashire by the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA). Although a company of that name was incorporated in 1978 (as Red Rose Radio Limited), the licence was awarded in the early 1980s. The IBA advertised the franchise as being for Preston and Blackpool. The station was re-launched as a community radio station in 2022 on DAB and Online.

The original service launched on 5 October 1982 on 301m medium wave (999 kHZ) and 97.3 VHF/FM. The first voice was that of chairman - and local businessman - Owen Oyston. Following the news bulletin, Red Rose Reports, Dave Lincoln opened the station playing Barbra Streisand's Evergreen.

Red Rose Radio acquired a former Anglican parish church, St Paul’s, in Preston which was adapted as the broadcast base for the station. In January 2020, current owners Bauer Radio, announced that they were closing the studios to consolidate broadcasting operations in Manchester.

The station's first Programme Controller was Keith Macklin, who was a well-known broadcaster and journalist across the North West. From launch, Keith fronted a two-hour daily lunchtime magazine programme, Midday With Macklin". At launch, the station operated a schedule from 6am until midnight. Macklin was also the voice of the station's closedown.

The transmission area includes the major Lancashire towns of Lancaster, Blackpool. Preston and Blackburn. By January 1985, the Radio Marketing Bureau reported the total Adult (15+) population in the area to be 900,000 people. In the early days, Red Rose Radio "drew in 60% of people listening to the radio".

Although originally broadcasting the same programming across both medium wave and FM, by the late 1980s UK Independent Radio was encouraged to 'split frequencies' to provide alternative services in their transmission areas.  On 1 June 1990, Red Rose Radio launched two new services: Red Rose Rock FM (now Rock FM) and Red Rose Gold on AM/medium wave (now Greatest Hits Radio Lancashire).

In 1994, Trans World Communications sold the group of radio stations they owned in North West England, including Red Rose Radio, to the publishing group EMAP. In January 2008, EMAP agreed to sell their UK magazine and radio business to the German Publishing group, Bauer Media Group, who control the station today.

The AM service has been rebranded a number of times throughout its life, becoming Red Rose 999 before adopting the name Magic 999 (as part of the Magic network). From 2015, it was briefly known as Rock FM 2 until January 2019 when it became Greatest Hits Radio Lancashire, part of the Greatest Hits network.

Red Rose Radio was re-launched as a community radio station in 2022 on DAB and Online.

The 1979 Thomas Cup was the 11th edition of the Thomas Cup competition, the world championship of men's international team badminton. The final rounds contested by qualifying zone winners and defending champions Indonesia were held at the Istora Senayan in Jakarta, Indonesia in late May and early June. First played in 1948–49, the Thomas Cup competition was held every three years until 1982, and since then has been held every two years.

Indonesia won its seventh title after beating Denmark in the final round.

Teams
21 teams from 4 regions took part in the competition. As defending champion, Indonesia skipped the Qualifications and the first round, and played directly in the second round (semifinal) of the Inter-Zone Ties.

Political disputes played a significant role in the 1978–1979 Thomas Cup series. Though The People's Republic of China had been producing players of astonishing ability since the mid-1960s, its entry into the International Badminton Federation (now the Badminton World Federation) had been delayed for years over the Taiwan issue. In 1978 the PRC took the step of fostering a rival international badminton organization and running its own version of a world championship (for individual players) in 1979.

Australasian zone
Competing in the Australasian zone for the first time since the 1966-1967 series, Japan encountered strong opposition from host New Zealand but survived 5–4. It was Richard Purser's sixth Thomas Cup campaign for the Kiwis. The Japanese then went on to shut out Australia in the zone final, despite some close matches.

Asian zone
The Asian zone all but disappeared in the political upheaval, as four national teams, including traditionally strong Thailand, either withdrew or were scratched from the competition. This left only India to visit Malaysia in a replay of their 1976 tie (team match), which Malaysia had won after trailing 1–4. Those young Malaysians had gone on to reach the tournament final  but none had since developed into true world-class stars. Thus India, on the strength of three wins by Prakash Padukone, was able to avenge its 1976 loss in another extremely close contest (5–4) and win the Asian zone for the first time since 1955.

European zone
In the European Zone, England could not take advantage of a fine performance by Ray Stevens (winning only matches where he participated), and went down to Sweden 3–6. The Swedes, however, were beaten in the final for the fourth consecutive time by Denmark 2–7. It was the last of five occasions in which Denmark's Svend Pri and Sweden's Sture Johnsson played on opposite sides of a Thomas Cup tie, though they did not play directly against each other this time. Young Morten Frost for Denmark and Thomas Kihlstrom for Sweden were the leading performers in the contest.

Panamerican zone
The fallout over these developments reached into the Pan American zone of Thomas Cup which Taiwan (Republic of China) had entered. Drawing Mexico, Taiwan agreed to drop out of the competition when the Mexican Association protested against its entry. Mexico then defaulted the zone final to Canada which, effectively, won the zone by squeezing past the USA in the semifinal 5–4. In nine Thomas Cup meetings between Canada and the United States it was the first time in which no player over 30 participated in the tie.

Inter-zone playoffs

The inter-zone ties (team matches) were hosted by defending champion Indonesia at Jakarta in late May and early June. Contesting in an out-bracket tie for the right to play Indonesia in the semifinals, Japan decisively defeated Canada 8–1, U.S. born Pat Tryon scoring the lone point for the Canadians. The first semifinal tie pitted Denmark against India in what might have been expected to have been a very close encounter. Typically talented, Danish squads had also, typically, struggled in the tropical heat and humidity. This time, however, Denmark came through in the uncongenial climate 7–2; the pivotal match probably being wily veteran Svend Pri's inspiring victory over the much younger Prakash Padukone (less than a year before Padukone's triumph at the All-England Championships).

The second semifinal presented Japan with the daunting task of facing a powerhouse Indonesian squad in an Indonesian setting. Moreover, these Japanese players, especially in singles, were not as internationally accomplished as the highly competitive Japanese stars of a decade earlier. It came as quite a surprise, then, when Japan's number one singles player, Kinji Zeniya, began the series by racing off to a 14–9 lead on reigning All-England champion Liem Swie King. This, however, was as close to a victory as Japan came. King recovered to win the game 17–16 and nearly blanked Zeniya in the second game. Fighting hard throughout, the Japanese were successively worn down by better players who were also more accustomed to the tropical conditions. It was the first time that Japan had been on the losing side of a Thomas Cup shut-out. Thus for the fourth time, the third in a championship tie, Indonesia and Denmark squared-off in Thomas Cup competition.

First round

Semi-finals

Final
Though Svend Pri was 34 and by this time only the third ranked singles player in Denmark, his record of winning clutch singles matches in tropical conditions had earned him a slot in the top two singles positions. Indonesia might have placed the iconic Rudy Hartono (two months shy of 30) in a similar position in its lineup and thus effected a sequel to their long rivalry. It was not to be, as Indonesia placed Hartono in the third singles position. Nevertheless, in "veteran" Iie Sumirat, only a year younger than Hartono and, like Pri, something of a showman, Pri drew a worthy adversary. Their opening contest, the most interesting of the tie, was won by Sumirat 15–10 in the third game. Except for a three-game win by Sumirat over rising star Morten Frost on the second night, every other match was routinely taken by Indonesia. Flemming Delfs, whose play in the tropics was almost invariably a full level below its European standard, lost tamely to Hartono, and only one doubles game in eight was close. Thus for the second straight time Indonesia shut-out its final opponent in Thomas Cup, thereby winning the Cup for the seventh time in eight attempts.

Though probably not anticipated at the time, this was the final Thomas Cup appearance of the great Indonesian doubles team of Tjun Tjun and Johan Wahjudi, Tjun Tjun being unbeaten in three campaigns which included an appearance in singles. His equally illustrious contemporary, Christian Hadinata, would play in three more series (through 1986) and lose only one match in his Thomas cup career. Hartono would play in one more series (1981-1982), the first in which Indonesia's great rival China would finally compete. As for Svend Pri, this was his final Thomas Cup tie and the only one in which he failed to win at least one match.

Events hosted

2009–2020 ATP Finals
The ATP Finals, which ends the ATP Tour season in men's tennis, has been hosted at The O2 Arena in London since 2009. The hosting contract currently runs through the 2020 edition.

2010 World Lacrosse Championships
Manchester hosted the world's biggest lacrosse event in July 2010. It was the third edition of the World Lacrosse Championships held in England, with Manchester hosting the 1994 tournament and Stockport hosting in 1978. The event took place at the University of Manchester, on the same campus used for the athletes' village at the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

2010 Women's Rugby World Cup
The International Rugby Board, now known as World Rugby, which governs rugby union, announced in September 2008 that the 2010 Women's Rugby World Cup would be held in London. The event was held in late August and early September. All matches took place at the Surrey Sports Park in Guildford, except for the semi-finals, third-place match, and final, which were held at the Twickenham Stoop.

2010 Ryder Cup
The 2010 Ryder Cup was held at the Celtic Manor Resort Hotel in Newport, South Wales. Originally scheduled for 1–3 October, it was extended to 4 October due to delays caused by heavy rains.

2011 European Rugby Challenge Cup and European Rugby Champions Cup
Millennium Stadium hosted the 2011 Heineken Cup Final on 21 May. This was the fourth time that the Cardiff venue, the home of Welsh rugby union, hosted this event. The day before, the city also hosted the final of the second-tier Amlin Challenge Cup at Cardiff City Stadium.

2011 Women's Champions League and Champions League Finals
Wembley Stadium hosted the 2011 UEFA Champions League Final on 28 May. This was the first time the current Wembley had hosted the event; the original Wembley Stadium had hosted the final five times. Including two finals at Hampden Park in Glasgow and one at Old Trafford in Manchester, this was the ninth time that Britain had hosted the European Cup/Champions League final.

As a part of its successful bid, London was also awarded the 2011 UEFA Women's Champions League Final, which was held on 26 May at Craven Cottage. It was the first time Britain had hosted the final of the women's event.

2011 International Children's Games

The International Children's Games is the world's largest international multi-sport youth event, with nearly 2,000 athletes, coaches and officials from over 70 countries taking part. The event is informally referred to as the 'Mini-Olympics'. Lanarkshire won the unanimous backing of the ICG Committee for hosting rights to the 2011 Games, beating strong competition from Singapore and Daegu. Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond spoke to the committee in a video message, pointing out that the awarding of the 2011 Games to Lanarkshire would be a major boost to the local area and informing them that the entire nation was supporting the bid. One of the prime venues was Strathclyde Country Park, which is also an official 2014 Commonwealth Games venue. Other venues included the new £29m sports facility at Ravenscraig, the Historic Scotland Category A listed Dollan Baths and the Airdrie Lesiure Centre.

2012 Amlin Challenge Cup and Heineken Cup Finals
Twickenham, home to both the England national rugby union team and England's national governing body for the sport, hosted the 2012 Heineken Cup Final on 19 May. As with Millennium Stadium the year before, this was the fourth final for Twickenham. The adjacent Twickenham Stoop hosted the Amlin Challenge Cup final on the day before the Heineken Cup Final; this was the fourth Challenge Cup final at The Stoop.

2012 Summer Olympics

After Birmingham and Manchester failed to deliver winning bids for the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games, the British Olympic Association (BOA) decided that London was the best choice to pursue the goal of hosting the Summer Olympics. The centrepiece of the London bid was the Lower Lea Valley, the location designated to be transformed into a world-class Olympic Park and Olympic Village. It would be connected via a high-speed shuttle service, dubbed the Olympic Javelin, and existing transport links capable of transferring 240,000 people per hour. After the Olympics and Paralympics close, the area will be transformed into the largest urban park developed in Europe for more than 150 years, with an area of , and will be home to the Olympic Medical Institute (OMI), a sports medical and rehabilitation centre. The bid called for substantial improvement of the London Underground system, which was supposed to be able to handle the Olympic crowds, and more investment into new Olympic sites throughout the city. London was considered to be the second favourite for the election after Paris, but intense lobbying by the London bid team at the later stages of the bidding process swung the votes in their favour.

On 7 July 2005, the victory celebrations were marred by the terrorist attacks on London's public transport system. This prompted immediate fears concerning the security of the 2012 Games, to which the IOC and British officials reacted in a reassuring way.

2012 Summer Paralympics

London won hosting rights to the 2012 Summer Paralympics as part of its successful bid to host the Summer Olympics. The event used many of the Olympic venues.

2013 Euroleague Final Four

Euroleague Basketball, which operates Europe's top club competition in men's basketball, the EuroLeague (at that time branded as "Euroleague"), announced on 12 May 2012 that The O2 arena would host the league's Final Four on 10 and 12 May 2013.

The contract between Euroleague Basketball and O2 arena operator AEG included a mutual option for the venue to host the 2014 Final Four, but one or both parties decided not to exercise that option, and the 2014 Final Four was instead awarded to Milan.

2013 Women's Champions League and Champions League Finals

The hosting of the 2011 Champions League Final at the 90,000 Wembley Stadium was deemed such a success, UEFA announced on 16 June 2011 Wembley would host the 2013 final – the first time a stadium has hosted the European Cup final twice in three years. The 2013 final would coincide with the 150th anniversary of The Football Association – the world's oldest football governing body.

As a part of its successful bid, London was also awarded the 2013 Women's Champions League Final. As in 2011, that match was held two days before the (men's) Champions League Final. This time, Stamford Bridge hosted the women's final.

2013 ICC Champions Trophy

Three cities in the United Kingdom, London, Cardiff and Birmingham, hosted the seventh ICC Champions Trophy, which was intended to be the final edition of that event. The eight major test nations competed in the limited overs tournament, with India winning.

2013 Rugby League World Cup

Following the success of the 2008 World Cup, the RLIF officially announced the next tournament to be held in 2013. The UK was favourites to host the sport's most prestigious event, but faced stiff competition from Australia, who had successfully hosted the 2008 competition – the most watched in rugby league's history. On 28 July 2009 the RLIF held a meeting in Singapore and, ending months of speculation, announced that the UK would host the 2013 Rugby League World Cup.

2014 Amlin Challenge Cup and Heineken Cup Finals
Initially, the 2014 finals of the Heineken Cup and Amlin Challenge Cup were scheduled to be held in the Paris area in France. However, the French Rugby Federation pulled out of hosting because of uncertainty over the availability of Stade de France for the Heineken Cup Final. As a result, the organiser of both competitions, European Rugby Cup, reopened the bidding for both finals (which were awarded in a single package). Bids were received from all three of the Home Nations on the island of Great Britain—England, Scotland and Wales.

Ultimately, the finals were awarded to Cardiff, which had most recently hosted the finals in 2011. This was the fifth Heineken Cup Final at Millennium Stadium, and the seventh for the city (two other finals had been held at the National Stadium that previously occupied the Millennium Stadium site).

Unlike 2011, when the Challenge Cup Final was played at Cardiff City Stadium, the second-tier final was held at Cardiff Arms Park, directly adjacent to Millennium Stadium. This match was the first European final ever played on an artificial surface, as the Arms Park's main tenant, the Cardiff Blues of Pro12, installed a modern artificial pitch for the 2013–14 season.

These were the last-ever finals of the Heineken Cup and Amlin Challenge Cup. From 2014 to 2015, these competitions were replaced respectively by the European Rugby Champions Cup and European Rugby Challenge Cup.

2014 Tour de France Grand Depart
The first three stages of the 2014 Tour de France took place in Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex and London.

2014 Commonwealth Games

Scotland was the first country to consider hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games in 2004, with Scottish cities being invited by the Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland to consider making a bid. In September 2004, Glasgow was announced as the Scottish candidate city over Edinburgh (which hosted the Games in 1970 and 1986, and the inaugural Commonwealth Youth Games in 2000) following a cost-benefit analysis by the Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland. The Scottish Executive under then First Minister of Scotland, Jack McConnell, with the support of the United Kingdom government and all main parties in the Scottish Parliament, formally announced Glasgow's intention to host the games on 16 August 2005.

In March 2006, the bidding process began, with the Glasgow Bid team presenting their case to the Commonwealth Games Federation at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, along with the other confirmed candidate cities; the Nigerian capital, Abuja and Halifax in Canada; Halifax later withdrew due to 'unacceptably high cost projections'. In October 2006, the first voting delegates arrived in Glasgow, in order to inspect the city's existing and proposed amenities and facilities. Glasgow announced on 16 January 2007, the 17 sports to be included should its bid be successful. Halifax later withdrew its bid on 8 March 2007, following the withdrawal of funding from the municipal government.

That left Abuja and Glasgow as the remaining bidders, with Abuja seen as a likely favourite due to the basis of its campaign that Africa has never before hosted the Commonwealth Games. The deadline for formal submission of bids to the Commonwealth Games Federation, in the form of a Candidate City File, was set for May 2007. Both bids were highly recommended, though Glasgow's bid team had made use of extensive benchmarking against the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester and the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and as a result, its bid was deemed technically superior according to the CGF Evaluation Report that was released in September 2007. The Commonwealth Games Evaluation Commission concluded that: "Glasgow has shown it has the ability to stage the 2014 Commonwealth Games to a standard which would continue to enhance the image and prestige of the Games." This put Glasgow ahead in terms of the technical comprehensiveness of its bid.

The final decision on the host city of the 2014 Commonwealth Games was held in Colombo, Sri Lanka on 9 November 2007 at the Commonwealth Games Federation General Assembly, attended by all 71 Commonwealth Games member associations. Each bid city made a presentation to the General Assembly, the order of which was determined by drawing lots. Glasgow's delegation was led by Louise Martin, chair of the Commonwealth Games Council for Scotland, First Minister Alex Salmond, athlete Jamie Quarry and Leader of Glasgow City Council Steven Purcell. The presentation also included a promotional film narrated by Sean Connery. Abuja's delegation was led by General Yakubu Gowon, head of the Abuja 2014 Commonwealth Games bid team. The CGF members subsequently voted for their preferred candidate in a secret ballot. As there were only two bids, the winner was announced by the CGF President, Mike Fennell, after the first round of voting, with the winner only requiring a simple majority. Celebrations were held at Glasgow's Old Fruitmarket, where a crowd of over 1,200 had gathered to watch the result live.

2014 Ryder Cup
The 2014 Ryder Cup was held at Gleneagles in Scotland.

2015 European Rugby Challenge Cup and European Rugby Champions Cup Finals
The inaugural finals of the new European rugby union competitions, the European Rugby Champions Cup and European Rugby Challenge Cup, were held in London. On 1 May 2015, the Twickenham Stoop hosted the final of the second-tier Challenge Cup. The following day, the adjacent Twickenham Stadium hosted the inaugural Champions Cup Final. Including finals of the former Heineken Cup and European Challenge Cup, these were the fifth European club rugby finals for each venue.

2015 World Orienteering Championships
The 2015 World Orienteering Championships were hosted by Scotland and based in Inverness during August 2015. The World Championships were awarded on 18 August 2011 at an International Orienteering Federation press conference, beating out a bid by Sweden. The championships were previously held in Scotland on two occasions, in 1976 and 1999.

2015 Rugby World Cup

The 2015 Rugby World Cup was hosted by England. Their winning bid included the proposed hosting of some games in Cardiff; this was officially ratified by World Rugby, then known as the International Rugby Board (IRB), on 24 May 2011. The Rugby World Cup was awarded on 28 July 2009 following the IRB Executive Board ratifying Rugby World Cup Limited's proposed decision to award the 2015 World Cup to England and the 2019 World Cup to Japan.

2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships
In May 2011, it was announced that Glasgow would be the host city of the 2015 edition of the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. The 2015 edition was the third to have been staged in the UK, and the first in Scotland, following the Glasgow bid's success over rival pitches from Paris and Orlando, Florida. The SSE Hydro, a facility designed and built for the Commonwealth Games that were held in the city a year earlier, was the primary venue for the Championships.

2016 UCI Track World Championships
The London VeloPark in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, host of the 2012 Summer Olympic track cycling, hosted the world championships in February 2016.

2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship
On 16 June 2015, World Rugby announced that the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship (rugby union) would be held in Greater Manchester. The event used two stadia—AJ Bell Stadium in Salford and Manchester City Academy Stadium in Manchester. Since the establishment of the championship's current U20 format in 2008, this was the first time that England hosted and the second for the UK; Wales hosted the 2008 event.

2016 European Swimming Championships
During the 2013 LEN Bureau meeting in Barcelona the 2016 European Aquatics Championships was allocated to London. This was the first major international aquatic championship in the Aquatic Centre in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park since the 2012 Olympic Games.

2017 European Rugby Challenge Cup and European Rugby Champions Cup Finals
The 2017 finals of both the European Rugby Champions Cup and European Rugby Challenge Cup were hosted by Edinburgh's Murrayfield, home to the Scottish Rugby Union and the Scotland national team. On 17 June 2015, the organiser of both competitions, European Professional Club Rugby, announced the sites of the 2016 and 2017 finals of both competitions, with the 2016 finals being awarded to Lyon, France, and the 2017 finals being awarded to Edinburgh. At that time, Murrayfield was only confirmed as the site of the Champions Cup final, but on 30 March 2016 it was confirmed that Murrayfield would also host the Challenge Cup final. The 2017 Champions Cup final was the first at Murrayfield since 2009 and the third overall; the 2017 Challenge Cup final was the first ever in Scotland.

2016–2018 Wheelchair Tennis Masters
Announced on 3 December 2012, London would be hosting the NEC Wheelchair Tennis Masters for three years starting in 2016 at Olympic Park, London.

2017 ICC Champions Trophy
Following the 2013 Champions Trophy, the International Cricket Council planned to replace the Champions Trophy in the cricketing calendar with the ICC World Test Championship in Test cricket. This was the second time the ICC had announced this plan; it had previously intended to launch the Test Championship in 2013, with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) hosting the inaugural event, but scrapped the original plans in 2011. In 2014, the ICC again cancelled the Test Championship in favour of continuing to hold the Champions Trophy, and the ECB, which had been awarded the 2017 Test Championship, was given hosting rights for the 2017 Champions Trophy as compensation.

2017 World Para Athletics Championships
On 19 December 2012, London was announced as host of the 2017 edition of the event then known as the IPC Athletics World Championships, using the Olympic Stadium built for the 2012 Olympic Games. By the time of the event, the International Paralympic Committee, which serves as the governing body for disability athletics, had renamed the competition as the World Para Athletics Championships.

The event was spectacularly successful by the standards of previous editions of these championships. In all, 305,000 tickets were sold for the event—more than were sold for the previous eight editions of these championships combined, and only 10,000 less than Rio de Janeiro sold for athletics at the 2016 Summer Paralympics. The 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships in Qatar had total sales of only 15,000.

2017 IAAF World Athletics Championships
On 11 March 2011 UK Athletics announced that they would submit a bid for the 2017 Athletics World Championships, whereby London would be used to host, using the Olympic Stadium built for the 2012 Olympic Games. On 11 November 2011 it was announced that the bid was successful.

2017 Women's Rugby World Cup
The 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup was hosted by Ireland. Rugby union in Ireland is organised on an All-Ireland basis, with the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) governing the sport in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. World Rugby announced on 13 May 2015 that the IRFU had been awarded the Women's World Cup. The group stage was played in the Republic's capital of Dublin, with all knockout stage and classification matches held in Belfast. Most of the Belfast matches were held at Queen's University Belfast; both semi-finals and the final were at Ravenhill Stadium, plus two classification matches that involved the hosts.

2018 IAAF Athletics World Cup
On 5 February 2018 British Athletics confirmed that eight of the world's top athletics nations would compete in the inaugural Athletics World Cup London 2018 at the London Stadium on 14–15 July.

2018 Women's Hockey World Cup
Following an unsuccessful bid to host the 2014 edition of the competition, England was awarded the 2018 Women's Hockey World Cup in November 2013. This will be held at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre – host of the 2015 EuroHockey Championships, NEC Tennis Masters from 2016 and also the 2016 Women's Hockey Champions Trophy.

2019 European Rugby Challenge Cup and European Rugby Champions Cup Finals
The 2019 finals of both the European Rugby Champions Cup and European Rugby Challenge Cup will be hosted at St James' Park in Newcastle, normally home to Newcastle United F.C. On 3 April 2017, the organiser of both competitions, European Professional Club Rugby, announced the sites of the 2018 and 2019 finals of both competitions, with the 2018 finals being awarded to Bilbao, Spain and the 2019 finals being awarded to Newcastle. Unlike the announcement of the 2017 finals, for which Murrayfield was initially announced as hosting only the Champions Cup final and only later being confirmed as the Challenge Cup final host, St James' Park was confirmed as hosting both finals. Including finals of the predecessor to the Champions Cup, the Heineken Cup, the 2019 Champions Cup final will be the 15th in Britain and sixth in England, but the first-ever final hosted by an English stadium other than Twickenham. As for the Challenge Cup (and its predecessor, the original European Challenge Cup), this will also be the 15th final staged in the UK, and the 12th in England. St. James' Park will also be the first British stadium to host a Challenge Cup final that at the time was not the regular home to a professional club rugby team.

2019 Cricket World Cup

The 2019 Cricket World Cup will be hosted by England and Wales. This will be the twelfth World Cup competition, and the fifth time it has been held in England, having played host in 1975, 1979, 1983 and 1999.

The hosting rights were awarded in April 2006, after England withdrew from the bidding to host the 2015 Cricket World Cup, which was held in Australia and New Zealand. In turn, those countries had been defeated by India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka for the right to stage the 2011 contest.

2019 Netball World Cup

The 2019 Netball World Cup will be the 15th staging of the premier competition in international netball, contested every four years. The tournament will be held from 12 to 21 July 2019 at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, England.

2019 Solheim Cup

The 2019 Solheim Cup, the women's equivalent to the Ryder Cup, will be hosted by Gleneagles in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Gleneagles beat out a rival hosting bid from Sweden. This will be the third Solheim Cup to be hosted by the UK, all three by Scotland, but the first since 2000.

Events speculated

Super Bowl
In 2007, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stated that "There is a great deal of interest in holding a Super Bowl in London". However, at that time, the earliest Super Bowl London could host would have been Super Bowl XLVII in 2013. In 2009, British media reports suggested that London was planning to submit bids for the 2014, 2015 and 2017 Super Bowls, although by that time, Goodell denied any NFL interest in a London bid. Ultimately, the 2014 game was awarded to the New Meadowlands Stadium, now known as MetLife Stadium, in East Rutherford, New Jersey (near New York City) with London not submitting a formal bid. London also did not submit a bid for the 2015 game, which was awarded to University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix area. The 2017 game, which would mark the 50th anniversary of the first Super Bowl (but the 51st game in the series), was eventually awarded to NRG Stadium (previously Reliant Stadium) in Houston, also without a London bid.

Failed/Abandoned bids

2018 Men's Hockey World Cup
Following an unsuccessful bid to host the 2014 edition of the competition, England won the right to host the Women's World Cup in November 2013, culminating in finals at the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre, home of the 2012 Summer Paralympic wheelchair tennis competition. The men's World Cup was awarded to India.

2018 Summer Youth Olympics

On 19 September 2011 it was announced that Glasgow would submit to the British Olympic Association (BOA) a proposal to bid for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics. On 22 February 2012 the BOA agreed to put Glasgow forward as the United Kingdom's bidding city for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics.  In July 2013 they were awarded to Buenos Aires.

2018 World Lacrosse Championship
Manchester was announced in 2013 as the host city for the 2018 World Lacrosse Championship for men. However, the sport's governing body for England, English Lacrosse, withdrew from hosting duties in May 2017, citing what it saw as an unacceptably high level of financial risk. The event ultimately took place in Netanya, Israel between 12 and 21 July 2018.

2018 FIFA World Cup bid

It was announced on 2 December 2010 that England's bid was unsuccessful and the 2018 FIFA World Cup would be held in Russia.

2017 FIFA Confederations Cup bid
Failed due to unsuccessful bid to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

UEFA Euro 2016
In December 2006, the Football Association of Wales announced it was tentatively considering the possibility of jointly hosting the tournament with the Scottish Football Association. Scotland, along with the Republic of Ireland, bid for Euro 2008 and there has been much discussion over whether the nation should consider a solo bid for Euro 2016. The entrance into government of the Scottish National Party (SNP) had previously boosted the hopes of such an outcome.

Ultimately it was announced on 9 March 2009 that Scotland and Wales, who had planned to bid together, decided the cost of staging the event was too great. Factors sited were principally the dire economic situation and the fact that 2016 would see the tournament expand to 24 teams from 16, greatly increasing the cost of hosting.

2014 Men's and Women's Hockey World Cup
London bid to host the men's and women's versions of the Hockey World Cup in 2014. The bid would have been only the second time both events have been held simultaneously and was planned to centre around the Olympic Hockey Centre, built for the 2012 Olympic Games, and would have been the first international event held at a 'legacy facility' in the Olympic Park after the London Olympics. Boxing promoter Frank Warren was brought in by England Hockey to help with the bid. On 11 November 2010, it was announced the Netherlands had won the bid.

2015 IAAF World Athletics Championships
London submitted a bid to the IAAF to host the 2015 World Championships in 2010, however due to the uncertain future of the Olympic stadium at the time, the bid was moved to the 2017 World championships, leaving only Beijing in the race. The event was accordingly held in The Bird's Nest Stadium, the athletics venue for the 2008 Olympic Games.

2018 Gay Games
London was one of three cities shortlisted to host the 2018 edition of the Gay Games, alongside Paris and Limerick. Venues would have included many of those used in the 2012 Summer Olympics, including those in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, as well as The O2 Arena and SouthBank Centre. The Games were awarded to Paris.

2019 World Para Athletics Championships
Following the success of the 2017 World Para Athletics Championships, UK Athletics announced that it would submit a bid to host the event again in 2019. London was competing against Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for hosting rights, with a bidding deadline of 30 September 2017. However, the day before the bidding deadline, London abandoned the 2019 bid, citing scheduling issues and a lack of funding to support the bid. With Kuala Lumpur also pulling out, bidding was reopened, and the event was ultimately awarded to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Chester and Cheshire (Constituencies) Act 1542 (34 & 35 Hen. 8. c. 13) is the Act of Parliament allowing Cheshire to be represented in the Parliament of England. The county palatine of Chester, ruled by the earls of Chester, was established by William the Conqueror. Cheshire had its own parliament, consisting of barons of the county, and was not represented in the parliament of England. After the passing of the act Cheshire retained some of its special privileges until 1830. The earldom of Chester is traditionally vested in the sovereign's eldest son upon his crowning as Prince of Wales.

The Act was repealed by section 80 of, and Schedule 13 to, the Representation of the People Act 1948 (c.65).

Bedwardism, more properly the Jamaica Native Baptist Free Church, was a religious movement of Jamaica.

Origins
Bedwardism was founded in August Town, Saint Andrew Parish, in 1889 by Harrison "Shakespeare" Woods, an African-American emigrant to Jamaica, and named for Alexander Bedward (1848–1930), who was referred to as "That Prophet" and "Shepherd."

It was one of the most popular Afro-Jamaican politico-religious movements from the 1890s to the 1920s. Bedwardism attracted tens of thousands of followers with a call for social justice, as well as socioeconomic programs for the lower classes.

Beliefs
Bedwardian literature describes Bedwardism as a new religion, the successor to Christianity and Judaism. Its actual teachings differ little from those of most Christian denominations, stressing the importance of recognizing Jesus Christ as both God and man in part of the Trinity, as well as frequent fasting.  Even so, because the movement likened the ruling classes to the Pharisees, it met with disapproval and even suppression by them. One of the few unique concepts of Bedwardism is the belief that August Town, Jamaica corresponds to Jerusalem for the Western world.
.

Bedward himself claimed at times to be the reincarnation of prophets including Moses, Jonah and John the Baptist, and was ruled insane by courts on two occasions.

Death and legacy
The movement lost steam in 1921 after Bedward and hundreds of his followers marched into Kingston, where he failed to deliver on his claim to ascend into Heaven, and many were arrested. In 1930, Bedward died in his cell of natural causes.

Many of his followers became Garveyites and Rastafarians, bringing with them the experience of resisting the system and demanding changes of the colonial oppression and the white oppression. Rastafari casts Marcus Garvey as a Messiah, while also casting Bedward in the role of John the Baptist.

The Peterstown House is a historic building located in Waterloo, Illinois. The saltbox building was constructed in the mid-1830s; an addition was placed on its north side around the 1860s. Emory Peter Rogers, for whom the house and surrounding neighborhood were named, was the first owner of the building. The building served as an inn and stagecoach stop along the Kaskaskia-Cahokia Trail, which was the first road in Illinois. The stagecoach route connected the French settlements at Kaskaskia and Cahokia. The Peterstown House is the only intact inn which still stands along the trail; while another building in Waterloo once served as an inn on the trail, it has been extensively remodeled. In the late nineteenth century, the Peterstown House became a local social hall.

The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 16, 1977.

A gorget is a patch of colored feathers found on the throat or upper breast of some species of birds. It is a feature found on many male hummingbirds, particularly those found in North America; these gorgets are typically iridescent. Other species, such as the purple-throated fruitcrow and chukar partridge, also show the feature. The term is derived from the gorget used in military armor to protect the throat.

Feather wear and exposure to the sun can produce changes in the apparent color of iridescent gorget feathers.  For example, fresh gorget feathers on the Anna's hummingbird are rose red; these fade to a coppery bronzy color with age.

Functions
A number of social functions have been suggested for the gorget.  It may aid in mate attraction or in resource defense.  It may signal social status or allow species to identify conspecifics. Among hummingbirds, gorgets are typically found only on males. In the rare instances where they are found on females, they appear to serve primarily for signaling threats.

Young hummingbirds, which need to intrude on adult territories to feed once they have fledged, all lack gorgets.  This may help to make them less visible or less threatening to adult birds.

In law, telepossession is the right of ownership of a resource based on telepresence rather than physical proximity. The term gained importance in maritime salvage following the case of the SS Central America. In the case of the SS Central America, the Columbus-American Discovery Group Inc. won over the insurer, Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company. This case was decided in the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in 1992.

The basis for a claim of telepossession was the operation of robotic workers at the submerged site, where they performed the tasks of a manned crew of salvage workers. These telepossession robots worked to secure the site, provide for the management of the site, retrieve the gold from the shipwreck and other tasks. The common law principle of pedis possessio was relied on by the claimants to press their claim for ownership of the recovered gold. Pedis possesseo in layman's terms means "To walk on and to claim possession". This principle is the basis of the 1862 Homestead Act and the General Mining Act of 1872 of the Congress of the United States, which opened up the western United States for colonization and growth.

Under the 1967 Moon Treaty of the United Nations, all property must be developed to the benefit of all humanity. Telepossession can provide for a form of possession which will allow mining and space colonization companies from all the world's nations, as private entities, to develop the extraterrestrial resources used in making space stations, fleets of spacecraft, fueling stations, asteroid threat control, infrastructure and all other colonization infrastructures. See United Nations Treaties regarding space and Space Policy.
