John Gipson Roach (March 26, 1933 – February 18, 2021) was an American professional football player who was a quarterback and defensive back in the National Football League (NFL) for the Chicago/St. Louis Cardinals, Green Bay Packers, and Dallas Cowboys. He played college football for the SMU Mustangs.

Early years
Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Roach graduated from Highland Park High School in University Park, which had earlier produced hall of famers Bobby Layne and Doak Walker.

Roach accepted a football scholarship from Southern Methodist University. He played as a quarterback, defensive back and punter for the Mustangs, becoming a starter at quarterback as a senior.

Professional career

Chicago / St. Louis Cardinals
Roach was selected by the Chicago Cardinals in the third round (31st overall) in the 1956 NFL draft. As a rookie, he was used at punter. After the season, he spent two years in the U.S. Air Force.

In 1959, he returned to the team and played as a defensive back, before being named the starting quarterback late in the year.

In 1960, he became the starting quarterback, after the team lost to injury two quarterbacks during their first season in St. Louis. On July 5, 1961, in a surprising move, he was sent to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for Halfback Prentice Gautt and rookie End Taz Anderson.

Cleveland Browns
On August 8, 1961, he was traded to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a third round draft choice (#42-John Furman).

Green Bay Packers
Roach was the backup quarterback on the Packers' 1961 and 1962 NFL championship teams, backing up Bart Starr under head coach Vince Lombardi. In 1963, when Starr injured his passing hand in the sixth game against the St. Louis Cardinals, he was held out for  games and Roach was named the starter during those contests. The team was 4–1 with Starr sidelined and finished 11–2–1, but the 26–7 loss to the Chicago Bears in mid-November was critical; keeping them a half game back in the Western Conference final standings and denied the Packers a chance to win an unprecedented third consecutive NFL championship game.

He announced his retirement on May 20, 1964. On August 31, he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a third draft choice (#33-Bob Timberlake).

Dallas Cowboys
In 1964, Roach retired to work for an investment firm in Dallas, until the Dallas Cowboys convinced him to play in his home state. He was acquired after starting quarterback Don Meredith went down with a knee injury in the preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. He started in 4 games, passing for 349 yards, one touchdown and 6 interceptions.

Death
John Roach died on February 18, 2021. At the time of his death, he was the only person to have played football for the Highland Park Scots, SMU Mustangs, and Dallas Cowboys.

Moments is the third album by singer Boz Scaggs, released in 1971. It was his debut album on the Columbia label.

Reception

In a contemporary review, Rolling Stone critic Charlie Burton hailed Moments as "one of the most transcendental albums to come out of rock in some time", "elaborately arranged and produced, but the result is a warm, funky spontaneity, somewhat reminiscent of Van Morrison, but, I think, more accessible." Allmusic gave a thoroughly warm retrospective review of the album, praising its mellow and laid-back tone. They also considered the album a precursor to Scaggs's greatest artistic achievement, saying that it "found him sketching out the blue-eyed soul that would eventually bring him fame when he streamlined it for 1976's Silk Degrees."

St John's is a suburb of Worcester, England, lying west of the city centre and the River Severn. St. John's is referred to locally as the "Village in the City", which is partly due to being an independent township, before joining the city in 1837. There is still a sense of identity within the community.

The Ward of St. John constitutes one of the fifteen wards of the city. See map of Wards within Worcester City Council. St John borders the St. Clement Ward to the North, Cathedral Ward to the East and Bedwardine Ward. to the South. It adjoins the Civil Parish of Broadheath to the West. The A44 runs through the area and is the most direct route from Worcester City Centre to Hereford. St John's is roughly 1.2 km (1,300 yards) West of the city centre. It comprises the area surrounding St John's Church, a short part of Bromyard Road, Bransford Road and Bromwich Lane. However; the area West of the River Severn is often wholly referred to as St John's, therefore encompassing the University, the Worcestershire County Cricket Club ground and Cripplegate Park.

Toponymy
The name St John's probably derives from the Saint John the Baptist; the parish name is 'St John-in-Bedwardine' which refers to the Baptist.

History

St John's played a role in the English Civil War. The Parliamentary commander Fleetwood forced his way across the River Teme, to the south of the parish and successfully managed to force his way into St John's, pushing back Royalist forces. Parliamentary soldiers plundered the nearby parish church and set it on fire. The soldiers also used the church walls to sharpen their pikes and even today the scars are still visible on the sandstone. The tower was also used by the soldiers as an observation post, but the spire was shot off by cannon fire, most likely being hit by Cromwell's artillery bombardment on the city, from Red Hill and Perry Wood across the river on the western heights of the city. When the civil war was over, Parliament gave £80 towards its restoration.

Parts of the Parish church of St John in Bedwardine are dated to the late 12th century, although much of the church was rebuilt during the 19th century.

St John's Parish was once an independent township having only been part of Worcester since 1837. St John's was able to expand and flourish because of its location on the roads leading from the city centre, westwards into Mid Wales. It was also situated close to the River Severn Bridge which was a very important crossing on the River Severn linking the city to Western areas of the country and other western towns, such as Hereford. This attracted many people to trade and settle in St John's. The parish also provided lodging for Welsh people trading with the city, who were not permitted to sleep on the streets within the city walls. The Parish was allowed its own fayre and bullring, maintaining its independence from the city. The bullring was located on the eastern side of the parish, outside the city walls. In the bullring, cattle were enraged before being slaughtered because this was believed to improve the quality of the meat.

In recent times, St John's has become home to a large student population, as a result of the increased growth of the University of Worcester.
St John's was the first suburb of Worcester to have high rise flats, three of these dominate the St Johns skyline.. These have recently (May 2015) been subject to a £5,000,000 visual overhaul to improve their aesthetics.

Demography
In the 2001 Census it was recorded that 8,033 persons lived in the St John ward of Worcester. At the time that was roughly 8.6% of the city's population. Of this figure just 46.7% were male compared to 53.3% who were female.

The 2001 Census revealed that St John's has a White British population of 98.2%. The largest religious group are Christians, who make up 77.6% of the ward's population.

Transport

Foot
Routes towards the city are plentiful with walks through Cripplegate Park previously via the subway, which has been closed for some years for security reasons, or past the Worcestershire County cricket ground and over the Worcester Bridge across the River Severn.  Attractive views of Worcester Cathederal are obtained from the Worcester Bridge. Alternate routes include the Sabrina Bridge, which has undergone renovation during 2020, near to the Worcester Arena.

Buses
There are many bus stops in St. John's  and 3 public buses travel through the area. The No. 44 bus is operated by First Midlands and takes passengers from Crowngate Bus Station in Worcester to Malvern, Worcestershire. The 31, 31b and the 31c travel from the University of Worcester, to the city centre.

Railway Station
St. John's was formerly served by its own railway station, situated on the Malvern and Hereford line. It also served trains on the now defunct branch line to Bromyard. The station was called Henwick Railway Station, and was located on Henwick Road very near to St. Clement's church. It seems unlikely ever to reopen, as a nursing home was constructed on the former site at the beginning of the 21st century. The station was closed on 3 April 1965; the Signal Box and Level Crossing remain.

Geography

Centre of the suburb

The heart of the suburb consists of one A road, the A44 which is known as the Bromyard Road and the B4206, Malvern Road. The B4485, Bransford Road joins Malvern Road. The A44 rises a little from New Road, avoiding the frequent flooding of the New Road cricket ground and adjacent soport fields.  Road access to St John's was often cut by the flooding of New Road by the River Severn.  Road works in (2018?) raised the level of New Road, maintaining access between Worcester City Centre and St John's.  Larger buildings include a Sainsburys and Aldi supermarket, three high rise apartment buildings, a sports centre, a Catholic church and a Church of England church, and a library.  A post office, two dentists, a chiropractic clinic, several barbers, two butchers and many other independent shops will be found in the area.  The last remaining bank in St John's, Lloyds, is scheduled to close in March 2021.

An important landmark is the Church of St John in Bedwardine which is Church of England.

Climate
St John's enjoys a temperate climate with warm summers and mild winters generally. However, the area can experience more extreme weather and flooding around New Road is often a problem. During the winters of 2009–10 and 2010–11 the area experienced prolonged periods of sub-freezing temperatures and heavy snowfalls. The Severn, close to St John's, partially froze over in Worcester during this cold snap. In contrast, Worcester recorded  on 3 August 1990.

Leisure

Park
In 1878 a Public Health Act was passed by the city, declaring that land, now referred to as Cripplegate Park, would become a refuse tip followed by a recreation ground for the enjoyment of the public. In the 1940s a bowling green emerged and it has been maintained to the present day.  Along the Bromyard Road there is a bowling alley.

There used to be a house at the park which was an odd shape, almost a circle. It had been a café, a library, issuing ration books and a clinic. It seemed to be the custodian of the park (which used to be its garden and before that its farmland). There was a paddling pool in the garden for the visitors to the park. The house and paddling pool were removed when the high-rise flats were built and the road layout altered.

There are municipal tennis courts at the park and an interactive game.

The Worcester Music Festival is held there in August.

The Fountain
Fountain originally cast in 1858 by Hardy & Padmore and intended to relieve the heat in the market hall. Found to be leaking at a time when the hall needed thousands of pounds to repair it so it wasn't a priority, so after a year's delay and at a cost of £300 it was re-erected in the park. It was restored in 2004 at a cost of £28,000 and the lion masks were replaced.

Education

Primary schools
St.John's is the home to few of Worcestershire's 49 primary schools. The most central of these schools is Our Lady Queen of Peace RC Primary School which was founded in 1971 by the diocese. The uniform's primary colour is purple. There are other primary schools which are scattered around St.John's, though technically situated in Bedwardine and St Clement respectively; these schools are Pitmaston Primary School, Oldbury Park Primary School and St.Clements Primary School.

High schools
The only High School in St John's is Christopher Whitehead Language College which was founded in 1983 after a boys' school and a girls' school merged. It is co-educational and it caters for about 1100 students. The school's status as a language college was granted in 2005. The school has grounds close to the river used for sports but it also uses the state of the art astro turf pitches on its site along with the facilities of the St John's sports centre, which is situated directly next to the school. There are two entrances to the school, one being on the Malvern Road and the other being on the A44.

The University
The University of Worcester was granted University status in 2005. Its original campus, based on the west side of the River Severn, is named St John's Campus. It is likely this is due to its close proximity to the St John's area. The University has many facilities including two full size astro turf pitches for hockey and football. It has around 18,000 alumni which range from undergraduate students to post-graduate students. Its first class science facilities, specifically the Darwin Building, are "cementing the University's status as one of the best learning environments in the UK." Perhaps the University's largest expansion came in 2010 when they opened their Business school in the centre of the city. The school is situated in a Georgian building, formerly the city hospital, where the British Medical Association was founded. Next door to this £100m investment is the Hive which is Europe's first University and Public library. It was opened by the Queen in 2012.

Sport

Worcestershire County Cricket Club
 Worcestershire County Cricket Club has been a part of the St John's community since 1896 when they first played at New Road, the ground that they still use today. Although in recent years success on the pitch has been limited the club has a rich history and has been home to many great cricketers such as Graeme Hick, Basil D'Oliveira, Ian Botham, Moeen Ali and Glenn McGrath. The New Road ground is often flooded in winter by the nearby river, and was severely affected by the floods of July 2007, leading to the cancellation of several matches, and losses that were estimated to take nine years to recoup.

Elton John played a concert at the ground in 2006.

Worcester Wolves
In May 2000 Roger Clarke and Mick Donovan announced the formation of the Worcester Wolves Basketball Team franchise to play at the University of Worcester's brand new £2.5 million 'state of the art' Sports Hall. 12 years later and the club is now part of the top division in British Basketball. The club's development has largely been down to the development of the University of Worcester but its fan base is spread across the city. Many of these fans are based in St John's due to the teams involvement with local schools from early on in the club's existence. Players from the first team would run after school basketball sessions at schools such as Olbury Park Primary School and OLQP. This resulted in many students going to see their coaches playing at the University of Worcester where the Wolves are based. A new million pound development by the riverside was constructed in 2012. It is called the Worcester Arena and it has a capacity of 1,500. As of the 2013/2014 season it will be the location of the Worcester Wolves's home games.

Notable former players include Chuck Evans, James Life, Anthony Paez, Rick Solvason, Ty Shaw and Skouson Harker.

Worcester St Johns Cycling Club
In 1888 Worcester St Johns Cycling Club was founded. The club has always been a racing club and from early on it had success; Ernest Payne joined the club in 1903 and went on to win an Olympic Gold Medal at the London Games in 1908.

Oldbury Park Tigers
Oldbury Park Tigers FC is a community football club which operates many different youth teams across the city. Its creation came about in 2001 when a group of parents and students from Oldbury Park Primary School set up the team. Since its foundation it has grown into an organisation with 11 teams and over 140 players. It is currently sponsored by The Co-operative which has a supermarket in St John's.

St John's Sports Centre
In September 2008 the Sports Centre was opened on the Malvern Road in St John's. It cost £4,000,000 (roughly $6.4 million US Dollars) and it is used frequently by the local residents.

 4 court Sports Hall with under floor heating
 Air conditioned Harpers Fitness Suite (56 stations with 42 IFI accredited pieces of equipment)
 Air conditioned Dance Studio with sprung wooden floor
 Multi purpose room with under floor heating
 Two floodlit outdoor 5-a-side 3G All Weather Pitches
The Sports Centre has been closed for extended periods during 2020 and into 2021 due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.

Stephen Richard Lowe (born 3 March 1944) was, until his retirement in July 2009, the suffragan Bishop of Hulme in the Anglican Diocese of Manchester, Link Bishop for Namibia and Chair of the Urban Bishops Panel. From 1988 to 1999 he had served as Archdeacon of Sheffield.

In 2006, he was released from all pastoral oversight in the diocese to concentrate on his 2006 appointment as the Church of England's first "Bishop for Urban Life and Faith", charged with the promotion and dissemination of conclusions of the Faithful Cities report.

Political views
In 2004, Lowe commented in a diocese newsletter on the patriotic hymn I Vow to Thee, My Country, criticising it for being "heretical" and calling on fellow Church of England clergymen to think "long and hard" about singing the song due to (in Lowe's view) its nationalist undertones.

In 2006, Lowe defended the Church of England's review of its shares in Caterpillar Inc. and other companies used in the territories occupied by the Israeli government, and the Church's planned sale of Jacob And His Twelve Sons by Francisco de Zurbarán.

In 2008, Lowe voiced support of Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, in the media controversy over Williams' remarks on sharia law, calling the media treatment of Williams "disgraceful" and a "knee-jerk" reaction in interviews on Newsnight and Radio 4 on 8 February and an appearance on Question Time'.

In June 2008 a report commissioned by Lowe, Moral, But No Compass – Church, Government and the Future of Welfare, by Francis Davis and Elizabath Paulhus was the lead story in The Times and has subsequently been the subject of two House of Lords debates.

In June 2009 his book, What Makes a Good City? Public Theology and the Urban Church (which Lowe had co-authored with the theologian Elaine Graham), was published by Darton, Longman and Todd.'

On 11 February 2017, Lowe was one of fourteen retired bishops to sign an open letter to the then-serving bishops of the Church of England. In an unprecedented move, they expressed their opposition to the House of Bishops' report to General Synod on sexuality, which recommended no change to the Church's canons or practices around sexuality. By 13 February, a serving bishop (Alan Wilson, Bishop of Buckingham) and nine further retired bishops had added their signatures; on 15 February, the report was rejected by synod.

Gordon Gibb is the CEO of Flamingo Land Ltd and former chairman of Bradford City Football Club.

Personal
Gordon Gibb was born in November 1975 at Strathaven in Scotland, moving to Yorkshire attending a boarding school in Scarborough.  when his father, Robert Gibb, a former professional footballer, set up the family run theme park Flamingo Land. Gordon continues to live in Yorkshire with his five children, but retains close links with his Scottish roots.

His father Robert Gibb died in 1995 when Gordon was 18 years old, after a car accident on his way to an emergency board meeting at Hamilton Academical Football Club where he was chairman. Gordon and his two sisters, Vicky and Melanie took over the responsibility of the family business.

The death of his father cut short Gibb's return to Scotland for higher education as he returned home to run the business. He had been reading politics, philosophy and economics at Glasgow University, before which he was educated at Woodleigh School and then leading York public school St Peter's.

Gibb's sporting career was also cut short when focus shifted to business rather than his football and rugby. He formerly represented Scotland Colts at Rugby Union. The sporting interest has continued however; as a keen amateur boxer with Westway ABC and also time as chairman of Bradford City Football Club.

Gibb is a Conservative Party donor, having given £187,500 to the party since 2014 according to Electoral Commission records.

Flamingo Land Ltd

Flamingo Land Ltd is the operating company of Flamingo Land Resort. It was begun by Gordon Gibb's father, Robert Gibb, who was a director of Scotia Leisure, owners of the Yorkshire attraction. He purchased it from the company to develop it under his sole direction.

Bradford City FC

Gibb joined Bradford City in August 2002, taking over as chairman from Geoffrey Richmond, with Julian Rhodes after the club had gone into administration. He resigned as chairman in January 2004, handing over to Rhodes, but his pension fund owns the club's Valley Parade ground.

Tetris Effect is a block-dropping arcade-styled puzzle video game developed by Japanese studios Monstars and Resonair and published by Enhance Games. The game was released worldwide exclusively for the PlayStation 4 on November 9, 2018, and features support for the PlayStation VR. A Microsoft Windows version, with support for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, was released on July 23, 2019. A version for the Meta Quest standalone VR headset was released on May 14, 2020.

The game garnered high praise from critics and was named Game of the Year by several publications. An enhanced version, named Tetris Effect: Connected, was announced for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Windows 10 during Xbox Games Showcase on July 23, 2020, and was released on November 10, 2020. The expansion was made available for existing platforms in August 2021. Versions for Nintendo Switch and Amazon Luna were released in October 2021 and August 2022, respectively. A PlayStation 5 version, with support for the PlayStation VR2, was released on February 22, 2023.

Gameplay

As in the original Tetris game, the player must place tetrominos into a playfield to create complete lines, which are then cleared from the playfield. Tetris Effect adds themes and music across thirty different stages with gameplay tied to the beat of the music. A new "Zone" mechanic allows players to "stop time", allowing the player to clear more than 4 lines at once, which is more than what is possible in conventional Tetris games. The game also includes a meta-game leveling system that leads to new challenges for players as they progress.

Development
Tetris Effect has been in development since 2012, and is inspired by the phenomenon of the same name, where after playing Tetris for a long period of time, players would continue to see falling Tetris blocks for some time after quitting the game. Co-producer Tetsuya Mizuguchi had wanted for many years to produce a music-based game around Tetris, but its licensing had been held by Electronic Arts, making it difficult to use. Around 2012, Mizuguchi began discussing with Henk Rogers, the founder of The Tetris Company which now owns the rights to Tetris about developing a version of Tetris set to music with a "zone" that players would achieve while playing, leading to the start of the game's development. The game was released on November 9, 2018 on PlayStation 4 compatible with the PlayStation VR headset. A Microsoft Windows version, with support for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR systems, launched July 23, 2019, followed by Oculus Quest on May 14, 2020.

Connected
A version for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and Windows 10 via the Microsoft Store was announced on July 23, 2020. Titled Tetris Effect: Connected, it was released on November 10, 2020 and was also made available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers at launch. This version includes a new cooperative multiplayer mode, as well as the new competitive mode that pays homage to the first console versions of Tetris with its simplified visual style and stricter rules similar to those used during the Classic Tetris World Championship. Connected was released on Steam on August 18, 2021, and was made available as the free multiplayer expansion for existing PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR, Epic Game Store and Oculus Quest versions on the same day. The Nintendo Switch port was released on October 8, 2021.

A physical release of Connected for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch produced by Limited Run Games was made available for preorder on June 17, 2022 and preorders ended on July 31, 2022. The game was made available for Amazon Luna on August 26, 2022. A PlayStation 5 version of the game was released on February 22, 2023.

Reception

Upon launch day, Tetris Effect was met with "critical acclaim" with many critics praising new game modes, the soundtrack, the visuals, and VR integration, with some critics calling it as a fitting love letter to Tetris.

Séamus de Brún (1 October 1911 – 5 March 2003) was an Irish teacher, senator and promoter of the Irish language and culture.

A lifelong member of the Fianna Fáil party, he was particularly noted for his work as a trustee and president of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann.

Family and early life
De Brún was born in Cornamona, in Connemara, County Galway, one of six children of Tadhg de Brún and his wife Kit (née Burke). He was educated locally and won a scholarship to Coláiste Connacht in Tourmakeady, County Mayo, where he qualified as a múinteoir taistil (a travelling teacher of Irish).

After a time teaching in Sligo, he was appointed 1944 to a teaching post in Elphin, County Roscommon with Roscommon Vocational Education Committee (VEC), and in 1945 he transferred to the vocational school at Castlerea, where he taught until his retirement in 1977.

Whilst teaching an Irish-language summer Course in Tourmakeady, he met his future wife Brid O'Hara (–1988), from Tourlestrane, in County Sligo. They married in 1944, and had three children.

Career
In 1951, de Brún was one of the early members of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann (CCE), a voluntary organisation dedicated to the promotion of the music, song, dance and language of Ireland, which were then in decline. Seamus and Bríd were both stalwarts of Comhaltas, and Bríd
died in 1998 in a car crash in Swinford, County Mayo en route to a meeting in Ballina of the Fleadh Cheoil committee.

He was a founder of the Castlerea branch of CCE, and held a series of local, provincial and national posts within the organisation, serving as national president from 1970 to 1973, and leading CCE's first tour of the United States in 1972.

A member of the national council of Oireachtas na Gaeilge (an annually held festival of Irish culture), he adjudicated at music competitions and was recognised as an authority on sean nós singing. He was a member for 15 years of Comhairle Raidió na Gaeltachta (the advisory board of RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta), and in the 1970s he was as a member of the Roscommon VEC.

Although he lived most of his life in Roscommon, he continued to support the Galway GAA hurling and gaelic football teams, and took his holidays in Galway.

Politics
At the 1977 general election, de Brún was director of elections for the successful Fianna Fáil campaign in Roscommon, and was rewarded by being Nominated by the Taoiseach Jack Lynch to the 14th Seanad.

In the 1981 elections to the 15th Seanad, he stood on the Cultural and Educational Panel, but did not win a seat. However, he was successful in the 1982 election to the 16th Seanad, and was re-elected at the 1983 election to the 16th Seanad. He stood down at the 1987 election, to devote his energies to other causes.

On his death in 2001, Senators from all parties praised his contributions to Irish culture and to the Seanad. Independent senator Shane Ross described de Brún's contributions to the upper house as "absolutely priceless, quite invaluable and an education to the rest of us", noting that de Brún "only spoke on matters about which he felt he was elected to speak and about which he could make a contribution".

The 1978 South Carolina United States Senate election was held on November 7, 1978, to select the U.S. senator from the state of South Carolina.  Popular incumbent Republican Senator Strom Thurmond defeated Democratic challenger Charles D. Ravenel.

 Democratic primary
The South Carolina Democratic Party held their primary for governor on June 13, 1978.  Charles D. Ravenel, an unsuccessful candidate in the 1974 gubernatorial contest, originally planned to run for governor again in 1978, but was convinced by Vice President Walter Mondale in 1977 to run for senator.  He garnered over 50% of the vote in the primary and avoided a runoff election.

 Republican primary
Senator Strom Thurmond faced no opposition from South Carolina Republicans and avoided a primary election.

 General election campaign

Thurmond generally ignored Ravenel on the campaign and refused to debate him.  When they did cross paths, Thurmond criticized Ravenel for never having held a political office.  Ravenel did not help his cause by his actions in the 1974 gubernatorial race when he refused to endorse the Democratic nominee after he had been disqualified.  This irritated many Democrats and they also accused him of being nothing more than a liberal New Yorker.  Age was beginning to become an issue with Thurmond, so to combat perceptions of old age, Thurmond often appeared with his children on the campaign trail.  While 1978 was generally a Democratic year, Thurmond was able to pull off a commanding victory over Ravenel.

Thurmond, having first been elected on a segregationist platform in the 1950s, had somewhat moderated his racial views in the 1970s, having hired African American staffers, championed grants to black colleges and businesses, voted in favor of extending the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and established scholarships for black students at four South Carolina colleges with religious affiliations. That garnered him the endorsement of 10 of South Carolina's 11 African American mayors. In addition, Isaac W. Williams, the Field Director of the state's NAACP chapter, did not outright endorse him, but considered what Thurmond would do for the Black community in 1978 more important than his actions in the 1940s and 1950s, saying that "if voters just try to punish a politician for the sins of the past, what does it profit him to improve?" thus also managing to increase his African American support.

Formerly known as New York TV Show Tickets, Inc. (NYTIX) and is now known as New York Show Tickets Inc.. This organization is a New York City-based marketing company that provides a variety of entertainment services. Services include Broadway show marketing, TV shows taping marketing, parking, restaurants, and New York city tours. The company has listings for Broadway shows and television shows, a NYC restaurant guide, articles on TV programs, Broadway theater profiles, and advice on ways that visitors can see New York attractions cheaply.

Background

The organization began in November 1995 as New York TV Show Tickets and specialized in recruiting and managing audiences for tapings of TV shows that were recorded in the New York City area. Early TV shows for which they managed the audience included The Gordon Elliott Show, Rolonda, Dr. Laura, and NBC's Later Today (all of which have long since disappeared from TV). They were in the middle of a project with the Sally Jesse Raphael Show to automate ticketing, when the show was canceled.
New York TV Show Tickets also worked with The Rosie O'Donnell Show and Emeril Lagasse's Emeril Live, both of which are no longer on air.
A big problem with many New York-based TV shows has been effective audience management, since the role of the audience coordinator is most often an entry-level position and therefore has high turnover.  New York TV Show Tickets attempted to bring some consistency to the TV productions it worked with by helping them maintain some continuity when staff changed.

Verizon's 540 Local Toll Call Phone Lines

In 1986, NYNEX created Public Access Line Ports to serve New York's five boroughs. These PALP's allowed businesses to provide a "virtual" central phone service that wasn't encumbered by equipment or line rental. This system had high limits to the number of calls it could receive at any one time and was perfect for delivering audio information services and billing back the relevant call charges to the subscriber. Nynex created a variety of PALPs, and one iteration was called a 540 line. nytix took advantage of this service and launched their first 540 line in January 1995 on the line number 212 540 8499. The advent of the internet reduced the profitability and value of 540 lines to Verizon, and in 1998 they discontinued the service. nytix was still receiving calls on their 540 line on the day they stopped the service.

Content

nytix's 540 line (which is no longer active) provided up-to-date television audience information to people that called in. It provided a centralized method of connecting a TV production to its audience members, so that people would get the day's ticket availability and then be provided with directions to the show of their choice. The nytix 540 line became very popular and was often receiving over 1000 calls a day from people looking to acquire TV show tickets.
With the burgeoning popularity of the internet, nytix switched its services to web-only.  In 1998, New York TV Show Tickets also began offering Broadway-related content, which eventually became its main focus.  As a result, the company's full name is now rather misleading.

Revenue Sources

Today, nytix sells online information guides (accessible through their website) that explain how to get discounted tickets to Broadway shows and free tickets to New York-area TV tapings. nytix makes its money by charging $4 for a 30-day "subscription" to its Broadway Ticket Guide, which lists Broadway discount codes.  However, many similar discount codes can be obtained for free by simply registering with sites like Playbill and TheaterMania.  nytix's argument for charging a fee is that it has a broader range of codes for more shows and that it doesn't inundate customers with e-mails like the other services, but this is arguable as they do typically email their email base 1- 2 times per week.  A February 15, 2007 Wall Street Journal article  that compared online last-minute ticket buying options found that nytix's discounts were similar to BroadwayBox's, and that both services were cheaper than Gotickets and Entertainment Link, concluding that nytix's "service is worth it for regular theatergoers who are open about what to see and when."

Better Business Bureau Membership

New York Show Tickets, Inc. is currently a member of the New York Metro BBB Better Business Bureau. They are also a member of  NYC and Company (Formerly known as New York Convention and Visitors Bureau NYCVB)

Dennis Bert Claridge (August 18, 1941 – May 1, 2018) was an American football player, a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons. He played college football at the University of Nebraska under head coaches Bill Jennings and Bob Devaney, and later attended its dental school.

Born in Phoenix, Arizona, Claridge played high school football in Minnesota at Robbinsdale, a suburb northwest of Minneapolis.  As a senior in college in 1963, he led Nebraska to an undefeated season in the Big Eight Conference, a 9–1 regular season, and a victory over Auburn in the Orange Bowl.

Selected in third round of the 1963 NFL Draft as a junior eligible, Claridge stayed in college and joined the Packers in 1964. He was a member of the NFL championship team in 1965, playing behind Hall of Fame quarterback Bart Starr and Zeke Bratkowski under head coach Vince Lombardi. Claridge was selected in the 1966 expansion draft by the Falcons. Green Bay was interested in reacquiring him for the 1967 season, but he left the NFL after three seasons to complete dental school.

Claridge later worked as an orthodontist in Lincoln, Nebraska. He died in 2018 of bladder cancer at the age of 76.

The fifth World Chess Championship was held in New York City (games 1–8), Philadelphia (games 9–11), and Montreal (games 12–19), and was contested from 15 March to 26 May 1894. Holder William Steinitz lost his title to challenger Emanuel Lasker, who was 32 years his junior.

Buildup

Reigning World Champion Steinitz publicly spoke of retiring; Lasker challenged him, and he changed his mind. Initially Lasker wanted to play for $5,000 a side and a match was agreed at stakes of $3,000 a side, but Steinitz agreed to a series of reductions when Lasker found it difficult to raise the money, and the final figure was $2,000 each, which was less than for some of Steinitz's earlier matches (the final combined stake of $4,000 would be worth about $495,500 at 2007 values). Although this was publicly praised as an act of sportsmanship on Steinitz's part, Steinitz may have desperately needed the money.

Results
The first player to win ten games would be champion.

Lasker won the Championship.

Steinitz had previously declared he would win without doubt, so it came as a shock when Lasker won the first game. Steinitz responded by winning the second, and was able to maintain the balance until the sixth. However, Lasker won all the games from the seventh to the 11th. When the match resumed in Montreal, Steinitz looked in better shape and won the 13th and 14th games. Lasker struck back in the 15th and 16th, and Steinitz was unable to compensate for his losses in the middle of the match. Hence Lasker won with ten wins, five losses and four draws. Some commentators thought Steinitz's habit of playing "experimental" moves in serious competition was a major factor in his downfall.

Lustwandel is the sixth solo album by German keyboardist Hans-Joachim Roedelius, best known for his work with Cluster, Harmonia, and Aquarello. All the pieces on the album were composed by Roedelius with the sole exception of "Wilkommen", which was composed by Roedelius and Will Roper.  It was released by Sky Records in 1981 and has been reissued on CD by Sky Records in Germany in 1992 and by the Gyroscope label in the United States in 1996.

The music of Lustwandel is a series of ambient pieces for solo piano or electronic keyboards. Jim Brenholts, who reviewed Lustwandel for Allmusic, writes, in part:
These unique compositions have character, charm, and grace that separate them from standard e-music and avant-garde fare. Roedelius uses gentle acoustics and silence as integral elements of his sound design.  He segues within his atmospheres seamlessly.  The sound is distinct and fresh.  Only Roedelius can sound like this.

Amanpuri is a luxury resort and the flagship property of Aman Resorts. Its name means 'place of peace' in Sanskrit. It  is on the west coast of the Thai island of Phuket. The resort is situated on a coconut grove overlooking the Andaman Sea, and includes a stretch of Pansea Beach.

History
While in Phuket looking for a site upon which to build a luxurious holiday home, Adrian Zecha was walking along Pansea Beach when he came across a coconut plantation in a prime location. Plans to build a home on the site soon developed into an idea to build a small boutique resort, in partnership with Anil Thadani and two other friends. They spent mainly their own money as no banks would extend credit for the project due to the small number of planned rooms, instead of the 500-room hotel they thought would be more practical. The resort was opened in 1988 at a cost of US$4 million. It was designed by American architect Ed Tuttle, who took his inspiration from traditional Thai temple architecture, in particular the ancient Thai capital of Ayutthaya.

Facilities
The resort contains 40 pavilions and 44 villas spread over 24 hectares on a headland on the northern side of Pansea beach. Each villa features a swimming pool, separate dining and living rooms, kitchen and up to 9 bedrooms.

There are 4 restaurants including Arva (Italian), a South American Lounge and Nama (Japanese), focusing on Washoku cuisine.

The Aman Spa features six treatment rooms.

Amanpuri has a 27-metre freshwater main pool and a 20-metre lap pool. From the beach, paddleboards, Schiller Bikes, snorkelling and kayaking equipment, along with Hobie Cats, are available for windsurfing, snorkelling and kayaking on Pansea Beach. Amanpuri also offers a large selection of vessels for cruising, day trips or overnight charters. There is also Beach Club, a library, 6 tennis courts, a gym, a Pilates studio, a boardroom equipped for meetings and a gallery with a selection of items for purchase.

Wilhelm Düerkop (born 30 June 1928 in Halberstadt) is a German glider and motor glider aerobatic pilot and promoter of glider aerobatics in Germany for many years. He is known by the nickname Salzmann (meaning "salt man" in German). This is because he was a pit foreman in a salt mine.

Together with his colleague Hannes Mattes, he performed synchronised motor glider acrobatics using a Fournier RF 4 and an RF 5 at many air shows, until Hannes Mattes died in 2004.
Later, Wilhelm Düerkop joined the Skydance-Acro-Team and still performs motor glider aerobatics with an RF 4.

Promotion of glider aerobatics
He owned two Lo 100 gliders a yellow one (christened "Gilb") and a white one, but he now has a modified Schempp-Hirth Cirrus, known as a Cirrus K ("Langohr Eater"). To help promote glider aerobatics, Düerkop lends his gliders to both learners and competition pilots.  He sometimes trains advanced learners on aerobatics courses but he especially helps as the tow pilot using his Piper PA-18 "D-ELUF". He has also volunteered at many glider aerobatics events.

Cirrus K

The modification of a Standard Cirrus into a Cirrus K was initiated by Wilhelm Düerkop in the late 1980s. He still owns the prototype, while the second one is owned by his nephew Wolfgang Seitz.

Gilb & Salzlore

The Lo100 "Gilb" is now owned by the Förderverein Segelkunstflug im BWLV. It is regularly lent for use on aerobatic courses in Germany.

An ASK 21 that is owned by the glider aerobatics club Fördervereins für Segelkunstflug im BWLV e.V.  has been christened "Salzlore", which means "salt lorry" in German, after Wilhelm "Salzmann" Düerkop and the president of the aeroclub of Baden-Württemberg Lore Sturm. This club was founded in 1985 and has about 1250 members.

Salzmann-Cup

The German club championships in glider aerobatics are named Salzmann-Cup after Wilhelm "Salzmann" Düerkop. There are three classes in each competition: the sportsman class, the advanced class and the unlimited class. The Salzmann-Cup plays a similar role as state championships in Germany. In the unlimited category, it is a qualification contest for joining the national team.
A team prize is also presented based on the combined results in all the classes for the pilots of each club. Additionally, the title "Salzmann des Jahres" (Salt Man of the Year) is awarded for unselfish conduct and sportsmanship.

The first club championships took place in Nagold in 2000 and 2001 as "Nagoldtal-Cup", initiated by Michael Zistler. Since 2002, the club championships are organized at different German airfields each year on Corpus Christi day and the following weekend.

During the 2007 event, the Förderverein Kunstflug Aufschwung Ost (regional glider aerobatics club of east Germany) was founded.

The Mediterranean woodlands and forests is an ecoregion in the coastal plains, hills, and mountains bordering the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean in North Africa. It has a Mediterranean climate, and is in the Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub biome.

Geography

The Mediterranean woodlands and forests occupy an area of  in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, the Spanish plazas de soberanía, and Libya. The main portion of the ecoregion extends along the coastal plains and hills of the Maghreb, from near Agadir on the Atlantic coast of Morocco in the west to Sfax on the Gulf of Gabes in Tunisia. The ecoregion extends inland to cover the lower slopes of the Middle Atlas and High Atlas ranges of Morocco, with isolated enclaves along the Saharan Atlas range of Algeria.

Two coastal enclaves lie further east along the Mediterranean Sea: one along the southeastern Tunisian shore of the Gulf of Gabes, including the island of Djerba; and the second in the Jebel Akhdar mountains along the shore of the Cyrenaica Peninsula in northeastern Libya.

The Mediterranean woodlands and forests are bounded on the south by the drier Mediterranean dry woodlands and steppe, which occupies the plateaus and mountain ranges bordering the Sahara; and on the north by the Alboran Sea which is the westernmost part of the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean acacia-argania dry woodlands and succulent thickets, which occupy the coastal plain of southern Morocco, bounds the Mediterranean woodlands and forests on the southwest.

The Mediterranean forests and woodlands surrounds the Mediterranean conifer and mixed forests ecoregion, which exists as a series of enclaves in the coastal Rif Mountains and interior Middle Atlas and High Atlas Morocco, the coastal Tell Atlas and eastern Saharan Atlas of Algeria, and the Kroumerie and Mogod ranges of Tunisia. The Mediterranean High Atlas juniper steppe ecoregion occupies the highest elevations of the High Atlas.

Flora

The natural vegetation consists of forests, woodlands, and shrublands. The five chief plant communities are:
 Xeric pine forests and woodlands: The xeric pine forests are found mainly in the drier interior, near the transition to the Mediterranean dry woodlands and steppe, where rainfall averages 300 to 600 mm per year. The predominant tree is Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis). It is often found in mixed stands with evergreen holm oak (Quercus rotundifolia), maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) and xeric junipers (Juniperus phoenicea and Juniperus oxycedrus). The forests and woodlands have an understory of shrubs, including Cistus, Genista, and rosemary, which also form pockets of shrubland.
 Berber thuya forests and woodlands: These forests and woodlands are found in the milder lowlands of northern Morocco, western coastal Algeria, and pockets in the coastal mountains in northwestern Tunisia, typically on soils derived from limestone. They are characterized by Berber thuya (Tetraclinis articulata), a conifer that can form coppice woodlands. The understory is chiefly of shrubs.
 Cork oak woodlands: are found in low and medium elevations with mild winters and relatively high rainfall (600 to 800 mm), often on soils formed over siliceous rocks. Cork oak (Quercus suber) forests are found on the coastal plains between Casablanca and the Rif Mountains in northern Morocco, and several areas further inland around the Rif and Middle Atlas ranges. They also found on along the Tell Atlas of northern Algeria, and in the Kroumerie and Mogod mountain ranges of northwestern Tunisia.Cork oak (Quercus suber) is the predominant tree, accompanied by a rich mix of evergreen small trees and large shrubs, including bay laurel (Laurus nobilis), strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo), tree heath (Erica arborea), green heath (Erica scoparia), holly (Ilex aquifolium), Phillyrea angustifolia, Phillyrea latifolia, Chamaerops humilis, laurustinus (Viburnum tinus), hairy broom (Cytisus villosus), and common myrtle (Myrtus communis).

 Holm oak and kermes oak forests and woodlands: forests, woodlands, and shrublands of holm oak (Quercus rotundifolia) and kermes oak (Quercus coccifera) are the most widespread plant community, found from the coast to the mountains on a variety of climates and soils. Holm oak forests formerly found in lowland areas with deep and humid soils have mostly been displaced by agriculture.
 Wild olive and carob woodlands and maquis: open woodlands of wild olive (Olea europaea europaea and Olea europaea maroccana), and carob (Ceratonia siliqua) once covered lowland areas with deep, drier soils, but these areas have mostly been converted to agriculture. The remaining wild olive and carob woodlands have been transformed by fire, grazing, and firewood collection into maquis shrublands. Wild olives have also been displaced by cultivated varieties to produce olive oil, and carob is harvested for fodder.

Arbutus pavarii is endemic to the Jebel Akhdar in Cyrenaica.

Fauna
The Mediterranean woodlands and forests were once home to several large mammals. Most now have a limited range, and a few are extinct. The Barbary stag (Cervus elaphus barbarus) is limited to portions of its former range in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Native carnivores include the striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) red fox (Vulpes vulpes), common jackal (Canis aureus), caracal (Felis caracal), common genet (Genetta genetta), and Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon). Smaller mammals include the North African hedgehog (Atelerix algirus), North African elephant shrew (Elephantulus rozeti), Barbary ground squirrel (Atlantoxerus getulus), and North African gerbil (Dipodillus campestris). The Egyptian wolf (Canis anthus lupaster), Barbary leopard (Panthera pardus pardus), and Barbary macaque (Macaca sylvanus) are endangered, and their range is now limited to small areas. The Atlas bear (Ursus arctos crowtheri) and Barbary lion (Panthera leo leo) are extinct.

The ecoregion has 120 native bird species. They include the raptors golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), black-winged kite (Elanus caeruleus), short-toed snake eagle (Circaetus gallicus), booted eagle (Hieratus pennatus), and lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni). Subspecies of the great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major numidus) and grey shrike (Lanus meridionalis algeriensis) are endemic to the ecoregion and the adjacent Mediterranean conifer and mixed forests.

History, conservation, and current threats
This ecoregion is densely settled, and much transformed by agriculture, grazing, fire, and timber cutting and firewood gathering. It is home to several large cities, including Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, and Fez in Morocco, Algiers and Oran in Algeria, Tunis in Tunisia, and Benghazi in Libya.

Protected areas
A 2017 assessment found that 28,451 km², or 8%, of the ecoregion is in protected areas. Protected areas include Al Hoceima National Park and Tazekka National Park in Morocco, Chrea National Park, El Kala National Park, Gouraya National Park, and Tlemcen National Park in Algeria, and Bou-Hedma National Park, Chambi National Park, Jebel Chitana-Cap Négro National Park, Jebel Mghilla National Park, Jebel Serj National Park, and Jebel Zaghdoud National Park in Tunisia.

Greystoke is a village and civil parish on the edge of the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England, about  west of Penrith. At the 2001 census the parish had a population of 642, increasing marginally to 654 at the 2011 Census. The village centres on a green surrounded by stone houses and cottages.

Buildings
Buildings in the village include St Andrew's parish church, which dates from the 13th century; Greystoke Castle, built by Baron Greystock in the 16th century and which stands in a  park; the Boot & Shoe public house; and the outdoor swimming pool.

To the east of the village are three folly farmsteads built about 1789 by Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk, of Greystoke Castle: Fort Putnam, Bunker's Hill and Spire House.

St Andrew's Church
St Andrew's is a major church building due to its size, which is considerable for such a small parish.

Two of the first parsons were influential Savoyards. Firstly Henri of Grandson younger brother of the important friend and envoy of King Edward I of England, Otto de Grandson. Henri of Grandson would later become Bishop of Verdun then not in France but an important bishopric within the Holy Roman Empire. He was followed as parson by his relative Gérard of Vuippens who would also become an important diplomat for King Edward I of England in negotiating an end to the war with King Philip IV of France and later Bishop of Lausanne.

It was refounded as a collegiate church in 1382, by William, 14th Baron Greystoke, for a master, seven chaplains and six chantry priests. However the present building, in the Perpendicular style, is reckoned to date from the 16th and 17th centuries. It had a restoration in 1818, and then in 1848-49 it had another restoration under the architect Anthony Salvin. The nave is narrow, but the aisles are wide, with big windows, but it has no clerestory or west window. There are a number of effigies, including William, 14th Baron, and John, 16th Baron.

The east window is filled with many fragments of 16th century glass illustrating the apocyphal story of the Acts of Saints Andrew and Matthias in the City of the Man-eaters.

There is an impressive memorial to Henry Charles Howard of Greystoke, designed by Sir Robert Lorimer in the Arts and Crafts style, which dates from 1914.
There are six bells which are hung for ringing in the English full-circle style.

Notable people
Bishop John Law was born at Greystoke in 1745.
William de Greystoke, 2nd Baron Greystoke, buried at St. Andrew's Church
John Greystoke, 4th Baron Greystoke, buried at St. Andrew's Church
Henri of Grandson, Bishop of Verdun and diplomat for King Edward I of England was a pastor at St. Andrews Church
Gérard of Vuippens, Bishop of Lausanne and diplomat for King Edward I of England was a pastor at St. Andrews Church

Governance
An electoral ward of the same name exists. This ward stretches south west to Threlkeld with a total population of 1,374.

The PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Literary Award is for U.S. multicultural writers, to "promote works of excellence by writers of all cultural and racial backgrounds and to educate both the public and the media as to the nature of multicultural work." It was founded by PEN Oakland in 1991 and named in honor of Josephine Miles. PEN Oakland was founded in 1989. The award was dubbed the "Blue Collar PEN Award" by The New York Times.

In 1997, Pen Oakland inaugurated its PEN Oakland/Gary Webb Anti-Censorship Award to protest censorship practices within the U.S. Other awards are the PEN Oakland/Reginald Lockett Lifetime Achievement Award established in 2006; and the PEN Oakland/Adelle Foley Award established in 2016 and "given to a work, not fiction or poetry, that has done much to improve the relations between people in American society."

Although PEN Oakland unsuccessfully attempted to become the USA's third PEN center, the attempt did succeed in opening the doors for PEN Oakland to become a full chapter of the PEN Center USA. PEN Oakland also introduced a resolution for more equitable media coverage of minorities and ethnic groups. The group sponsored the Oakland Literature Expo portion of the City of Oakland’s Art & Soul Festival from 2001 through 2004.

The award is one of many PEN awards sponsored by International PEN affiliates in over 145 PEN centres around the world.

Spore photoproduct lyase (SP lyase, SPL, SplB, SplG) is a radical SAM enzyme that repairs DNA cross linking of thymine bases caused by UV-radiation. There are several types of thymine cross linking, but SPL specifically targets 5-thyminyl-5,6-dihydrothymine, which is also called spore photoproduct (SP).  Spore photoproduct is the predominant type of thymine crosslinking in germinating endospores, which is why SPL is unique to organisms that produce endospores, such as Bacillus subtilis. Other types of thymine crosslinking, such as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) and pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidone photoproducts (6-4PPs), are less commonly formed in endospores. These differences in DNA crosslinking are a function of differing DNA structure. Spore genomic DNA features many DNA binding proteins called small acid soluble proteins, which changes the DNA from the traditional B-form conformation to an A-form conformation. This difference in conformation is believed to be the reason why dormant spores predominantly accumulate SP in response to UV-radiation, rather than other forms of cross linking. Spores cannot repair cross-linking while dormant, instead the SPs are repaired during germination to allow the vegetative cell to function normally. When not repaired, spore photoproduct and other types of crosslinking can cause mutations by blocking transcription and replication past the point of the crosslinking. The repair mechanism utilizing spore photoproduct lyase is one of the reasons for the resilience of certain bacterial spores.

The mechanism by which SPL functions is not yet fully understood, though it is known that it catalyzes light independent repair of  photodimer 5-thyminyl-5,6-dihydrothymine cross linking through a series of radical reactions to give back two functional thymine rings as shown in the figure below. SPL is part of the radical SAM enzyme family, so it is known to have conserved aspects of its structure and mechanism that allow for it to be characterized as a radical SAM enzyme. Radical SAM enzymes have a conserved cysteine motif, an iron-sulfur cluster within the cysteine motif, as well as S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) as a cofactor. A general radical SAM mechanism involves reducing the iron-sulfur cluster within the enzyme and transferring an electron to the cofactor (SAM), which cleaves a part of the structure and forms a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical. This 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical will then remove a hydrogen atom from the substrate, forming 5'-deoxyadenosine, and producing a radical on the substrate which will rearrange to form a product. Given that the full mechanism of SPL function is not fully characterized, future studies will likely focus on elucidation of this process.

Spore photoproduct lyase is part of one of two main pathways which are used to repair cross linked 5-thyminyl-5,6-dihydrothymine caused by UV radiation: the spore-specific DNA repair system (which utilizes spore photoproduct lyase), and the general nucleotide excision repair pathway (NER). The spore-specific DNA repair system is specific to SP, whereas the NER is able to repair other types of thymine dimers, such as CPDs and 6-4PPs. Spores exhibit high UV susceptibility only when both repair pathways are compromised.

Thierry "Hazard" Gesteau (, ; born June 7, 1962), is a French singer-songwriter from Compiègne, Hauts-de-France.

Biography
Gesteau was born in Compiègne, and grew up in Sèvres. During the 1980s, he became the singer of the band GPS, an acronym of Garage Psychiatric Suburban  (the group's guitarist, Tom "Backerfix" Darnal, became Mano Negra's keyboardist). Hazard released his first solo single "Poupée  psychédélique" in 1988 but it passed unnoticed. Two years after, he released "Le Jerk !" which became a huge hit in summer 1990 (#2 in France). His first solo album Pop music was released in 1990 and had a great success thanks to the two titles mentioned above ("Poupée psychédélique" was re-released at the end of 1990, reaching #2 in France), but also with other songs which were much aired on radio such as "Les Brouillards de Londres", "Un Jour c'est oui, un Jour c'est non" and "Les Temps sont durs". A cover of Michel Polnareff's song, "Tout, Tout, pour ma chérie", is also included on this album. In 1994, Hazard launched his second album entitled Où sont passés les Beatniks? with the singles "Julie est trop prude" and "Où sont passés les Beatniks?" but they didn't meet with success.

Hugh Leycester Hornby (20 November 1888 - 24 March 1965) was an Anglican clergyman.

Hornby was born at St. Michael's-on-Wyre, near Preston, Lancashire.  He was educated at Rugby School and Balliol College, Oxford.  He was curate of St. Annes-on-Sea, Lancashire before the First World War, and in 1910 joined up as a 2nd Lieutenant in the 5th Battalion, K.O.R. Lancaster Regiment, T.A.  During the war he served as a Temporary Chaplain to the Forces(TCF), being awarded the Military Cross in France in 1916 and becoming an Honorary Chaplain to the Forces when the war ended.  The citation for his MC reads ‘For conspicuous gallantry. He volunteered to act as a stretcher-bearer, and did fine work at great personal risk. He is constantly among the men in the trenches, and never thinks of his comfort or safety'(Later, in 1951, he also became an honorary chaplain to the Lancashire Fusiliers.)  Also in 1919, he succeeded his father as Vicar of St Michael's on Wyre, a living he held until 1930. He later became the living's joint-patron with his younger brother Edward Windham Hornby (succeeding their uncle) in 1944.

On 4 January 1921 he married Katharine Rebecca May (1894–1979).  Their eldest son (born during Hugh's time as Vicar of St Michael's on Wyre) was Richard Hornby, later a Conservative politician.  Their other three children were James William, Robert Hugh and Peter Edward.

After his time at St Michael's on Wyre, Hugh became Rector and later also Rural Dean of Bury (1930–1953 and 1934-45 respectively) and later Suffragan Bishop of Hulme (1945–1953).  He also became Proctor in Convocation in the dioceses of Blackburn then (1934–45) Manchester, as well as a member of the Church Assembly (1933–45), and chairman of the Manchester Diocesan Church Building Committee, the governors of Bury Grammar School (1930–53), and of the governors of Church Central School, Bury.  He retired to Suffolk in 1953, and died at Dunster.

The Arctic Basin Marine Ecozone, as defined by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), is a Canadian marine ecozone encompassing the northwestern areas of waters on the Arctic continental shelf. It is bitterly cold and permanently covered in ice. Polar nights and the midnight sun may last months in this region, which has come to characterize the stereotype of the north. Its only land contact is with the northern coast of Ellesmere Island. Because of this, there are no inhabitants in this zone. All human activity here involves scientific excursions, petroleum exploration, rare hunting groups and extreme adventurers.

Geography
Ice floes that are kilometres long and several metres thick are common in this Arctic Ocean ecozone. Undersea, the dominant feature is the deep Canada Basin, extending from the Beaufort Sea to the North Pole to depths reaching 3,600 m. The Lomonosov Ridge represents its northern submarine extent.

Climate
The region is arid, receiving between 100 and 200 mm of annual precipitation, mostly snow. Mean January temperatures are -30 to -35 °C, though wind chill makes it appear significantly colder.
