Charissa Jean Thompson (born May 4, 1982) is an American television host and sportscaster working for Fox Sports. Previously, Thompson worked for ESPN, Versus, as well as for GSN and the Big Ten Network. She was the co-host of SportsNation along with Marcellus Wiley until her departure from ESPN for Fox Sports in June 2013.

She also was one of the American hosts of Ultimate Beastmaster. From 2014 to 2017, Thompson was a co-host on the syndicated entertainment news show Extra.

Early life and education
Thompson was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. The youngest of three children, she knew she wanted to be a broadcaster from an early age.  She attended Inglemoor High School in Kenmore, Washington. Thompson moved to California to attend community college and gain California residency. She later transferred to the University of California, Santa Barbara where she graduated with a B.A. in Law and Society in 2004. While Sports Illustrated wrote "she left Washington State (WSU) to attend community college in California before transferring to UC Santa Barbara," Thompson has clarified she did not attend WSU.

Sports broadcasting career

Big Ten Network and Fox Sports Net (2007–2010)
Early in her career, Thompson appeared on various college sports shows on Big Ten Network and Fox Sports Net (FSN). Thompson additionally served as a sideline reporter for college football and college basketball games on the two networks. She would continue these roles as she progressed in her sports media and journalism career, as she became a National Football League (NFL) sideline reporter for NFL on Fox.

For Big Ten Network, Thompson appeared on various Big Ten Network shows, such as Big Ten's Best and Friday Night Tailgate.

In the fall of 2008, Thompson completed her first run as an NFL sideline reporter. During the season, Thompson dyed her hair black to "rid [herself] of the Barbie thing," as she is notably blond. Her change of hair color drew attention from some sports blogs; Deadspin ran an article titled: "Charissa Thompson Continues Down Suicidal Path to Frumpyville". Thompson shortly switched her hair color back to blond. In 2016, she recalled the event in an interview with HBO. Beyond the scope of this incident, Thompson's sex appeal has been touched upon by various media outlets since.

Thompson also appeared outside of the Big Ten Network and FSN early in her career. She was on the cover of the April 2009 issue of Access DirecTV (satellite TV provider DirecTV's monthly TV Guide-like magazine) and interviewed Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels for the feature story.

A week later, she covered the Super Bowl in Dallas, Texas, for Yahoo! Sports and then the NBA All-Star Game for Yahoo! Sports. On January 30, 2011, she covered the NHL All-Star Game for Versus. A month later, Versus dropped Thompson and Lindsay Soto from their ice-level reporting staff after the NBC-Comcast merger; they were replaced by Pierre McGuire, Brian Engblom, and Darren Pang, forming the Inside the Glass team.

In 2013, Thompson joined actor Joey Lawrence as a co-host of the ABC's reality TV series Splash, where star contestants dive from Olympic-style platforms and are scored on their performance by Olympic divers, David Boudia and Steve Foley as well as the voting TV audience.

Rejoining Fox Sports for FS1 launch (2013–present)

Thompson resides in Malibu, California. In January 2020, she got engaged to sports agent Kyle Thousand. She and Thousand married on December 30, 2020. It was announced they had separated after a year and were divorcing in April 2022.

She had a previous marriage when she was 25. She also previously dated ESPN analyst and former Chicago Bulls player Jay Williams. Thompson spoke about her Wikipedia article in 2019, clarifying that she was not a trapeze artist as the article previously mentioned.

In January 2018, nude photos of Thompson were leaked online after her iCloud account was hacked. Thompson shortly thereafter sought legal action. That June, she spoke about the incident to The Athletic, stating "When it comes to your physical being and intimate photos between you and your boyfriend and things that you sent to someone when you were in a long-distance relationship and in love, it is your private property. So it felt — the obvious — like such an invasion."

Adirondack Red is a potato variety with red flesh and skin, bred by Cornell University potato breeders Robert Plaisted, Ken Paddock and Walter De Jong, and released in 2004.

The Adirondack varieties are unusual because both the skin and the flesh are colored and have high levels of anti-oxidants. They are described as "Early- to mid-season, medium- to high-yielding variety. Dark green decumbent to spreading vines bear oblong to long, slightly flattened, purplish-red-skinned tubers with shallow eyes and pink to red flesh."

Adirondack Red was found to be susceptible to silver scurf disease, as well as the golden cyst nematode. It was also found to have moderate resistance to common scab.

Proctor Knott (foaled 12 April 1886 in Tennessee) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse gelding. His sire was the Hall of Famer Luke Blackburn, and his dam Tallapaloosa.  He was bred by Belle Meade Stud and like his father, who had been named for the then-current governor of Kentucky, he was named for Governor J. Proctor Knott. He was owned during his racing career by George Scoogan and Sam Bryant, who purchased him at auction for $450.

Racing career
Trained by co-owner, Captain Samuel W. Bryant, Proctor Knott had a career racing record of 26 starts, 11 wins, 6 seconds and 4 thirds, earning $80,350.

In 1888, as a juvenile, he won the Alexander Stakes at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Returning north, Proctor Knott won the Junior Champion Stakes for which he earned $20,935, the richest offered by Monmouth Park Racetrack.

By far his most important win came in the inaugural running of Futurity Stakes at Sheepshead Bay Race Track. The winner's share of the purse was the enormous amount of $50,000 at a time when the 1888 Kentucky Derby winner earned $4,740 and the 1888 Belmont Stakes winner $3,440. An estimated crowd of 40,000 were on hand for the race. In this race he defeated Salvator.

Proctor Knott is listed by Thoroughbred Heritage as American Champion Two-Year-Old Male Horse of 1888.

During his three-year-old campaign, he entered the Kentucky Derby as the 1-2 favorite against a horse he will soon be well acquainted with, Spokane. Proctor Knott false started twice, ran off and almost unseated his rider, according to the official comments, then raced wide and lost in a contested finish when the judges put the nose win in Spokane's favor.

The pair met again a few days later in the Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs, with Spokane this time winning by three lengths.

The American Derby would mark the third meeting of the two, competing for more than $15,400 with a crowd of over 30,000 on hand at Washington Park in Chicago. Once again, after leading for much of the race Proctor Knott could not hold off the late closing move of Spokane in the stretch.

Finally, Proctor Knott got a win over Spokane by two lengths on the July 4th Sheridan Stakes at Washington Park in front of a crowd of 20,000 while carrying 10lbs less than his rival.

He also ran second in the Omnibus Stakes at Monmouth Park on August 13, behind Longstreet, the 1891 American Horse of the Year and son of the great Longfellow. He beat his other common foe, Salvator in the race.

Proctor Knott vs. Salvator

Salvator, a member of the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, never defeated Proctor Knott. In Salvator's first start, the Junior Champion Stakes at Monmouth Park Racetrack, Proctor Knott won while Salvator came in third.  Three weeks later, their rivalry was renewed in the Futurity, where Proctor Knott again won.  After this race, Proctor Knott was given time off, while Salvator continued to race and won four more stakes.

Their next and final meeting was in the Omnibus Stakes in 1889.  While neither of them won, Proctor Knott placed ahead of Salvator.  Salvator never lost again in seven more races, while Proctor Knott won only two of his final nine races.

Legacy

Proctor Knott died on the morning of August 6, 1891.  The Proctor Knott Handicap was won in 1921 by Black Servant, a son of Black Toney.  The race was conducted at Churchill Downs between 1920 and 1921.

The 'Adirondack Blue' is a potato variety with blue flesh and skin with a slight purple tint, released by Cornell University potato breeders Robert Plaisted, Ken Paddock, and Walter De Jong in 2003.

The 'Adirondack' varieties are purple and the skin may be slightly netted. Tuber dormancy is short. The tubers can be used for chips, but cannot be chipped from cold storage. Unlike most potato varieties developed at Cornell over the past few decades, it is susceptible to pink rot, leafhoppers, common potato viruses, Colorado potato beetle, Fusarium, and seed piece decay.

Penn State's alumni association is marketing potato chips in the school colors, using the 'Adirondack Blue'.

Thomas Traynor or Trainor (27 May 1882 – 25 April 1921) was a member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) hanged in Mountjoy Prison during the Irish War of Independence.

Background
Traynor was born on 27 May 1882 in Tullow in County Carlow, Ireland, and was 38 at the time of his death. He was an experienced soldier having been a member of the Boland's Mill garrison during the Easter Rising, 1916. After the Rising he was interned in Frongoch, Wakefield Jail and Mountjoy Jail where he shared a cell with Seán Mac Eoin.

He worked as a boot maker and was married with ten children. At the time of his death the eldest was 18 years and the youngest 5 months. The eldest son, Frank, represented Ireland at the 1928 Summer Olympics, competing as a bantamweight boxer.

Capture and execution
Traynor was captured during an ambush on Auxiliaries in Brunswick Street, Dublin, on 14 March 1921, and tried on 5 April at City Hall. He was part of a party of IRA volunteers keeping watch outside a meeting at 144 Brunswick Street that included Seán MacBride. During the fight an IRA volunteer, Leo Fitzgerald, was killed, as were Constable James O'Farrell and Cadet Bernard Beard of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. Traynor was reportedly badly beaten by members of the Igoe Gang.

Mark Sturgis, assistant to the Under Secretaries for Ireland, wrote:Traynor, captured red handed with an attacking party when Auxiliaries were killed in Brnswick Street, was executed this morning. I don't think they will make much fuss as there is no sort of 'alibi' business this time - nor is he the usual 'youth', dear to 'The Freeman', as he is over 40 and has a pack of children, the poor deluded idiot.

On the day following his death, Gilbert Potter, a Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) District Inspector based in Cahir, County Tipperary, and being held for Traynor's safe treatment was executed in reprisal by members of the Third Tipperary Brigade. Another IRA volunteer, John Donnelly, captured with Traynor was sentenced to death but later reprieved by David Llyod George following the truce in June 1921.

Remembered in popular culture
In 1965 a statue was erected to Traynor in his native town of Tullow.
The Ballad of Thomas Traynor was written in his memory.

Reinterment
Traynor was one of a group of men hanged in Mountjoy Prison from 1920–21, commonly referred to as The Forgotten Ten. In 2001 he and the other nine, including Kevin Barry, were exhumed from their graves in the prison and given a full State Funeral. He is now buried in Glasnevin Cemetery in the capital city of Dublin.

William Control is an American music project founded in 2008 in Seattle, Washington.  It was the side project of Aiden's William Francis before Aiden's hiatus, and he later operated as William Control full-time.  'William Control' therefore refers to both the band as a whole and to Francis as his stage name.  Francis was signed to Victory Records before starting his own independent label, Control Records, and, as William Control, has released five full-length albums (Hate Culture, Noir, Silentium Amoris, The Neuromancer and Revelations (split into four separate EPs)), an EP (Novus Ordo Seclorum), two acoustic albums (Skeleton Strings and Skeleton Strings 2), two live DVDs (Live in London Town and Babylon) and a remix album (Remix).  The first part of Revelations, The Pale, was released on October 14, 2016.  The second EP The Black followed on February 17, 2017, and the third, entitled The Red, followed that with a release date of July 14 of the same year.  The album was completed by The White on November 24.

As of The Neuromancer Francis referred to his band as 'The Neuromantic Boys', and the 'Boys' most recently consisted of Kenneth Fletcher (who has been a part of the William Control project since Hate Culture) and Ian MacWilliams, with Crilly Ashes standing in for Fletcher for some of 2017's live shows.  Control announced his retirement from music/touring in October 2017, stating that he was going to concentrate on his clothing businesses and Control Records. In June 2018, Control temporarily ceased work due to accusations of sexual assault and the formation of a "sex cult" with women, some of whom were fans of his.

History

2008
William Control's debut album, Hate Culture, was released in 2008, and is, according to a Kerrang! magazine interview, the story of a character named William Control and his last night on earth before he kills himself. Hate Culture peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Electronic Albums chart and No. 43 on the Heatseekers chart.  The band released a video for Beautiful Loser, the album's only single, and then toured with Escape the Fate on their This War Is Ours Tour in late 2008.  Their live debut was at Revolution in the Bronx, New York City on September 26, 2008.

2009–2010
In 2009, Control began working on a new William Control album, Noir, which eventually surfaced on June 8, 2010.  He invited friends (including Ash Costello of Orange County rock band New Years Day and Jeffree Star) and fans to come up to the studio and record vocals for part of the album.  While it did not appear on Noir, a teaser video for the song "Deathclub" (a song that has only been released as a remix and has yet to be heard in its original form) was released on Control's social networking sites.  The original track is actually an outtake from the Hate Culture sessions. The sole single from Noir was "I'm Only Human Sometimes"

Later in 2010 Control released a series of spoken word tracks through iTunes, all works by Edgar Allan Poe. These were "Eleonora" (July 13), "The Tell-Tale Heart" (September 13), "The Oval Portrait" (October 15), and "The Raven" (October 30). The band supported Black Veil Brides on their Entertainment Or Death Tour.

Shortly after the release of Noir, Control left Victory Records, and founded his own record company, Control Records, based near Seattle, Washington.  He now records all his music under this label.

2011
On November 29, 2011, a new five-track EP entitled Novus Ordo Seclorum was released.  The physical copies came with a bonus track, a cover of "1963" by New Order.  On the same day Control published a second book, Prose + Poems, having previously published Flowers & Filth with Lisa Johnson.

2012
Early 2012 saw an announcement that the band's third full-length album would be released on April 2, 2012, and be called Silentium Amoris.

The band performed on the Fight To Unite US Tour, with Brokencyde and Blood on the Dance Floor in April and May 2012. In June 2012, William Control headlined their own New Faith Tour, playing shows in the UK, the Netherlands, and France.  During this tour, they also headlined the Red Bull stage at Donington's Download Festival.  A music video for the only single from Silentium Amoris, "Kiss Me Judas", was released on June 26, 2012 on YouTube.

In August and September 2012, William Control filmed their debut live DVD, Live In London Town, directed by Tim Bullock and produced by A Glass Half.  The film features a live show, shot at the O2 Academy Islington, as well as behind-the-scenes footage and interviews from two other dates.  The twenty-track DVD was released in January 2013, with a new and previously unreleased 21st track, "Speak To Me Of Abduction", over the closing credits.

October and November 2012 saw the band supporting The Birthday Massacre on their American tour, alongside Aesthetic Perfection.

2013
William Control appeared as special guest on The Church Of The Wild Ones US Tour with Black Veil Brides in early 2013.  Control also starred in the film Legion of the Black, a movie based on the Black Veil Brides album Wretched and Divine.

February saw Control making an appearance on the Kerrang! Tour 2013, performing a brief DJ set each night.

In March 2013, Control released Skeleton Strings, his first acoustic album. Download only, it is a mixture of his own tracks and cover versions. Fans received it for a donation towards the costs of building his new studio and recording what became The Neuromancer. Artists covered included HIM, Placebo, Morrissey and The Smiths.

March also saw the appearance of a video for "The Velvet Warms And Binds", off Silentium Amoris. In November, William Control headlined the Friday night at Whitby Goth Weekend, after playing a support slot at the festival in April.

On October 1, 2013 Control announced that the next studio album would be called The Neuromancer, and that it was slated for release in early December 2013, just before the start of the US Revel Without A Cause Tour.  Additionally, Control announced that his book Revelator Book One: The Neuromancer would be shipped earlier than expected and likely within the first two weeks of the month.  The book was initially sold exclusively through pre-order, in a limited quantity of 500.  However, the pre-orders sold so quickly that an additional 100 copies were made available shortly thereafter.  It is now available in paperback and digital form.

2014
The Neuromancer was finally released April 4, 2014.  There were two singles from the album, "Revelator" and "Price We Pay", although the album itself was preceded on March 23 by a lyric video for Illuminator.

In spring 2014, and again from October–December 2014, William Control supported the aggrotech band Combichrist on both the American and European legs of their We Love You Tour.  In April 2014, whilst on this tour, the band recorded a live DVD at Bar Sinister in Hollywood.  This DVD was released as Babylon, and featured Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides and Ash Costello of New Years Day. Once again, this DVD was directed by Tim Bullock and produced by A Glass Half.

William Control played a UK tour, entitled The Punishment Tour, in August 2014, with support from Ashestoangels and Bad Pollyanna.  An appearance at Alt-Fest 2014 was originally part of this tour, but the festival was cancelled.

November 2014 saw the release of Revelator Book Two: The Hate Culture.  This was again initially through Control's own website, but it is also now available both in paperback and digitally from various sources.  A second acoustic album, Skeleton Strings 2, followed on Christmas Eve.

It was around this time that the new William Control velvet rose logo was launched, inspired by lyrics from  Adore (Fall In Love Forever), off The Neuromancer.  It has appeared in various forms on releases and merchandise since then.

An album of remixes of William Control tracks (Remix) was also made available, as a free download through NoiseTrade.

2015
At the start of 2015, Francis announced that he was starting his own screen-printing business, Control Merch, to give him creative freedom over his own merchandise.  This was initially in a rented studio, but in early 2016 he purchased his own shop, allowing for expansion of the business.  He also launched the brand Submit Clothing.

The Punishment Tour part 2 took place in April 2015 (UK) and May–June 2015 (US).  Support came from Ashestoangels in the UK and Requiem and Justin Symbol in the US.  The band once again performed at Whitby Goth Weekend, this time on the Sunday night, playing before The Damned.  The band did one final 2015 live show at Toronto's Aftermath Festival in August 2015.

2016
Francis began teasing fans with snippets of new music from the fifth studio album in video clips on Instagram and Facebook. He worked on the album with Kenneth Fletcher and Axel Otero of Lay Your Ghost at his home studio in spring and summer of 2016.

He embarked on a solo five-date acoustic tour of the UK (The Skeleton Strings Tour) in July 2016, supported by Crilly of Ashestoangels, and the full band returned to the UK in September 2016 for the ten-date Synths And Sinners Tour.

"The Monster", the first single from the band's The Pale EP (the first of four that make up the album Revelations), was released as a YouTube video on September 5. Pre-orders for the EP through the Control Merch site began on September 22, with iTunes pre-orders starting the following day. Several US dates for October and November 2016 were then announced, after the planned full US tour fell through, including a performance on JBTV. The Pale, completed by tracks "Confess", "When The Love Is Pain" and "Mother Superior", received its full release on October 14, 2016. A video for "Confess", filmed by Fletcher in Edinburgh, Scotland whilst on the Synths And Sinners Tour, followed on October 26, as did a video for "When The Love Is Pain" on November 12. The Pale hit number one on both the Billboard Dance/Electronic album chart and the Heatseekers album chart.

In spring 2016 it was revealed that a trilogy of films was to be made from the three Revelator books. In November 2016, posts appeared on Control's social media accounts about the third book in the Revelator trilogy, Revelator Book Three: The Hell Of Heaven. Pre-orders for the first edition went on sale on December 2, and sold out within a day.

In December, Francis announced the formation of his own street team, The Neuromantics, named after 'The Neuromantic Movement', a term he has coined himself. He also applied for a trademark on Submit Clothing; this was confirmed in January 2018.

2017
The video for "Mother Superior", the final track on The Pale, was shot in Seattle and released on January 25, 2017. The band then played several American headline shows under the Synths & Sinners Tour title, before embarking on Andy Black of Black Veil Brides's Homecoming: The Curtain Call Tour as the main support act.  This covered parts of both the United States and Canada, and continued from early February into March, finishing in Pomona, California on March 3.

The video for the first track on Revelations: The Black EP, "Analog Flesh In A Digital World", was released on February 10, 2017, and the EP followed on February 17. Pre-orders for the latter began through the Control Merch site on February 5. The Black hit number 6 on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic album chart and number one on the Heatseekers album chart. A video for the track "Knife Play" was released on April 1, 2017, and one for "All I Need" followed on May 13.

In April 2017, the band completed a European tour supporting Aesthetic Perfection, with Crilly Ashes standing in for Kenneth Fletcher on keyboards. June, July and August saw them playing across the US on Warped 2017, again with Crilly Ashes. As part of this, Control also ran a daily TEI workshop on DIY in the music business. He also made an appearance at the APMAs, presenting the band New Years Day.

An "Introduction to Control Records" video was posted on YouTube on June 29. A Control Records sampler CD was handed out at Warped, and also made available for digital download.  It includes a William Control cover of "Running Up That Hill" Kate Bush and "The Night Is Ours" by The Neuromantic Boys. The other artists featured are Black Blinds, Lay Your Ghost and The Secret Post.

Pre-orders for the third installment in the Revelations series, The Red, began through the Control Merch website (as well as on digital channels such as iTunes, Amazon and Spotify) on June 30, with the EP being released on July 14. It reached number 5 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic album chart and number one on the Heatseekers album chart.

A video for "Let Her Go" was released on September 6, 2017. A limited-edition signed hardcover book containing all three Revelator novels was also published.

In October, the band embarked upon the Graveyard Shift Tour, opening for Motionless in White. However, they left the tour before it finished, with Francis announcing his retirement from touring/music to concentrate on his clothing businesses and Control Records. This was after a wave of allegations went viral online, after multiple women accused William on incorrect BDSM practices, manipulation, coercive control and grooming. He did still promise the final installment of Revelations, in the form of The White.  A lyric video for the track "Ghost" was published on November 13, but it proved to be the only video for this final EP.

The White was released on November 24. Guest vocalists included Axel Otero of Lay Your Ghost, Lvci (both signed to Control Records), and Crilly Ashes. This EP hit the top spot on the Billboard Dance/Electronic album and the Heatseekers album charts.

2018
On June 4, 2018, Francis announced the forthcoming release of a full Revelations LP that would combine all of the previous EP songs into a single album, along with two new songs. However, controversy occurred when Control faced more accusations of creating a "sex cult" that included sexual abuse, date rape, extortion, grooming underage girls, and the tattooing of his name and initials on girls' genitalia as a form of "branding". Faced with the accusations, on June 8 Control announced a cancellation of the album's release and the closure of Control Records to avoid affecting any other artists on the label. Several artists who had recently been signed to Control Records announced their departure in the wake of the accusations, with Daniel Graves of Aesthetic Perfection announcing that he would be re-releasing his collaboration "Rhythm + Control" with Control's vocals removed and 100 percent of the proceeds for the first six months donated to Planned Parenthood.

The complete Revelations LP was released on June 22, 2018. On October 11, 2018, Control released a music video for "All the Love", which had been featured on the album. The track was noted by his prior accusers to contain lyrics that suggested it was meant to taunt them and encourage them to commit suicide. On December 22, 2018, Control released an advertisement for a re-release of Hate Culture.

2019
Beginning on March 15, 2019, Control released a series of videos on YouTube confronting his accusations and presenting his side of the story and what he claims to be personal evidence. However, these accusations were not refuted.

2020
On October 31, Control released a new single in video form entitled "Abuse". In the posting it simple states, "And we begin a new adventure...", along with the lyrics.

2021
On April 16, 2021, Control released a six-track album titled Sex Cult, Vol. 1.

Guangming District is one of nine districts in the city of Shenzhen. The district, bordering the city of Dongguan in the Northwest of Shenzhen, was created in 2007 as a "functional area" of Bao'an District. In May 2018, it became a formal administrative division.

Guangming District has a total area of 156.1 square kilometers and a resident population of 1,095,300 residents. In 2020, Guangming District achieved a regional GDP of 110.77 billion yuan, an increase of 5.7%, the second-fastest growth rate in Shenzhen City. The initial formation of a new generation of emerging industries clustered development pattern regarding information technology, new materials, and biomedicine is also achieved.

Since Guangming District is located in the central axis of Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong, an important node of the GZ-SZ Science & Technology Innovation Corridor, it was given the mission to build a world-class Science City and the northern center of Shenzhen by the municipal government. The real progress of the Guangming Science City project is about 78% complete in August 2021.

History
Guangming District was formerly part of Bao’an District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province.

 On August 19, 2007, Guangming New District, the predecessor of Guangming District, was established as the first functional area in Shenzhen, with jurisdiction over two offices in Gongming and Guangming.
 On May 24, 2018, the State Council agreed to establish Guangming District and assign Guangming Subdistrict, Gongming Subdistrict, Xinhu Subdistrict, Fenghuang Subdistrict, Yutang Subdistrict, and Matian Subdistrict to the administrative area of Guangming District.
 On September 19, 2018, the Guangming District of Shenzhen was officially established.

Development
Since its establishment, Guangming District has been closely focused on building a "World-class Science City and the Northern Center of Shenzhen" to promote the construction of major scientific and technological infrastructure and urban infrastructure. The development process of Guangming District for more than a decade has experienced several urban planning and construction, including the pilot construction of Sponge City, the construction of the Guangming Science City, etc.

Guangming Science City
Guangming Science City was proposed by the Shenzhen Municipal Committee and Shenzhen Government in April 2018 to promote basic research and innovation of core science and technology in Shenzhen. It was given to the construction of the three clusters, namely a cluster of large-scale scientific facilities, integrated science and education cluster, and science and technology innovation cluster. In September of the same year, the overall development plan of Guangming Science City formed a preliminary system, expanding the spatial plan to 99 square kilometers and building a general spatial layout of "One Core Two Zones".

On January 25, 2019, the launch of building supportive civil engineering projects for two large scientific services - brain analysis and simulation and synthetic biology research - heralded the official start of Guangming Science City.

In June 2020, Shenzhen Bay Laboratory officially settled in Guangming. At the same time, the Outline plan for Guangming Science City was officially approved by the city government. The Conference about the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone on October 14 further clarified that Guangming Science City will serve as the core function bearing area of the international science and technology innovation center of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and an important part of the comprehensive national science center. In December of the same year, the Shenzhen Institute of Technology Innovation of the China Institute of Metrology and the Shenzhen Engineering Biological Industry Innovation Center was officially unveiled.

On February 20, 2021, the Overall Development Plan for Shenzhen Guangming Science City (2020-2035) provides a detailed description of the strategic positioning, development goals, and general layout for Guangming Science City.

Five Strategic Positioning of Guangming Science City

 The large and open world-class source of original innovation.
 The core hub of the international science and technology innovation center of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
 The core bearing area of the comprehensive national science center.

Sponge City in Fenghuangcheng
The Fenghuangcheng area is located in the southeast of Guangming District, with an area of 24.6 square kilometers. There are six urban villages and 64 old industrial areas in the Fenghuangcheng area with weak water infrastructure leading to water pollution and waterlogging. Meanwhile, the ongoing construction of Guangming Science City has also brought more pressure on ecological protection in this area. Since April 2016, Guangming District has been exploring sponge city construction in the Fenghuangcheng area to create a nationwide sponge city model. After three years of exploration, the influent of the wastewater treatment plant in the Fenghuangcheng area increased by 94.1% in 2019, and effluent concentrations of CODcr, BOD5, and ammonia nitrogen increased by 145.6%, 113%, and 60.6%, respectively. The simulation model shows that the area achieves 72% annual runoff control and a 62% reduction in diffuse pollution (in terms of suspended matter). In addition, the water infrastructure, water pollution, and waterlogging problems were improved finally. Guangming District has formed a construction model for sponge cities that can be used as a reference for other cities.

Guangming Mode of Sponge City Construction

(1) Concept Promotion

To carry forward the concept of sponge city construction and stimulate the enthusiasm of all individuals to participate in the construction, Guangming District has given training programs for government departments, enterprises, communities, and schools.

(2) Master Plan

Meanwhile, a three-tier planning system covering 14 key industrial projects, industrial parks of over 2 million square meters, and three urban villages have been established. 47 kilometers of new greenways and 40 hectares of new coastal ecological space were added too.

(3) Problem-targeted Governance

To solve the problems of water pollution and waterlogging, Guangming District has focused on improving the network of rainwater and sewage diversions of the Fenghuangcheng area. A total of 69 residential communities, industrial zones, and 5 urban villages have been renovated, and the waterlogging problems of 6 sites have been completely solved. In addition, a new 282-kilometer-long sewage pipe network was added to eliminate water pollution in seven rivers.

(4) Strict Control on Construction Projects

The indexes of sponge city construction were included in the approval documents of government construction projects to establish a strict control management mechanism for the project.

(5) Strict Control on Public Sewer Users

A total of 417 Water Affair Authority staff were assigned to 31 communities to investigate and deal with users' malpractices in using public sewers.

(6) Resident-centered Working Mechanism

A resident-driven working mechanism was established to address the problems of combined sewerage systems, unregulated sewage, and sewage effluent in the urban village renovation.

(7) Tailored to Local Conditions

Establish a localized model calibration system to analyze water quality and quantity of 10 source control facilities, conduct online monitoring of trunk streams and tributary outfalls, and quantify the relationship between tasks and targets in 75 construction tasks.

(8) Comprehensively Promote the Sponge City Construction

The Buyan class (), Russian designations Project 21630 Buyan and Project 21631 Buyan-M, are series of corvettes (small artillery and missile ships in Russian classification) developed by Zelenodolsk Design Bureau for the Russian Navy. Since 2010, all subsequent vessels are being constructed as improved Project 21631 subclass, incorporating greater tonnage, stealth technology and the 3S14 vertical launching system for either Kalibr or Oniks anti-ship cruise missiles, significantly enhancing combat capabilities. The ships are primarily designed for operations within littoral zones to protect Russia's vast coastal areas. Due to the small tonnage, they can operate even within shallow parts of oceans and seas and Russia's extensive inland waterway system. The export variant is known as Project 21632 Tornado.

Design
In August 2010, some information about the newly modified Project 21631, dubbed as Buyan-M, were published. The Project 21631 ships are said to be an up-to-date variant of Project 21630 Buyan small artillery ship, armed with the nuclear-capable Kalibr cruise missiles (SS-N-27 Sizzler) with a claimed range of at least 1,500 km and electronic countermeasure equipment. Ships of Project 21631 are designed to defend the national economic zones of Russia. The ships' small size and displacement enable them to operate within inland river systems, including traversing the Moscow Canal which allows them to deploy to various seas around European Russia. This is a particular advantage for the Buyan-M series, because while the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) prohibits long-range cruise missiles from operating on land they can operate from ships, so a river-based corvette can deploy missiles without being subject to restrictions. The lead ship of this project, Grad Sviyazhsk, was laid down on 27 August 2010 and commissioned on 27 July 2014.

Operational history
On 7 October 2015, corvettes Grad Sviyazhsk, Uglich, Velikiy Ustyug and  Dagestan, deployed in the Caspian Sea, launched 26 Kalibr cruise missiles at 11 terrorist targets in Syria. The missiles flew nearly  over Iran and Iraq and struck targets in Raqqa and Aleppo provinces (controlled by the Islamic State) as well as in Idlib province (controlled by the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front). According to US DoD officials, several of these cruise missiles fired from Russian ships crashed in Iran and did not make it to their intended targets in Syria.

On 20 November 2015, the same warships launched 18 Kalibr cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea at seven terrorist targets in Rakka, Idlib and Aleppo provinces.

On 13 February 2016, corvette Zelenyy Dol was deployed to the Mediterranean Sea.

On 19 August 2016, corvettes Zelenyy Dol and Serpukhov, deployed in the Mediterranean Sea, launched Kalibr cruise missiles at positions of Al-Nusra terrorist group in Syria. As a result of the strikes, number of terrorist facilities were destroyed, including command post and base near the village of Dar Ta Izzah and weapon production plants and warehouses in Aleppo province.

On 25 October 2016, Zelenyy Dol and Serpukhov were deployed to the Baltic Sea to join a newly formed division in Kaliningrad. In 2020, Zelenyy Dol and the Karakurt-class corvette Odintsovo deployed to Arctic waters utilizing Russian internal waterways and illustrating the Russian capacity to transfer light units among the Russian Navy's three western fleets and the Caspian Flotilla as might be required. A similar deployment was conducted in 2023 by Serpukhov.

On 17 June 2022, a photo emerged of the ship being towed on the Volga River in a damaged state after a Ukrainian attack.

Variants
 Project 21630 Buyan
 Project 21631 Buyan-M – Upgraded design with modernised systems and new weapons
 Project 21632 Tornado – Export design
 Project 21635 Sarsar – Unveiled at Army-2022 expo, with an increased number of VLS cells, as well as a larger displacement overall

The New Adventures of Pinocchio is a 1961 syndicated stop motion animated television series produced by Rankin/Bass Productions in the United States and made by Dentsu Studios in Japan. Created by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and his partner Jules Bass, it was based on the 1883 book The Adventures of Pinocchio written by Italian author, Carlo Collodi. The series was Rankin/Bass' first production to be made in "Animagic", a stop motion puppet animation technique which, in association with the company, was done by Tadahito Mochinaga's MOM Productions.

A total of 130 five-minute "chapters" were produced in 1960–61. These segments made up a series of five-chapter, 25-minute episodes. The show was deliberately designed to not emulate Walt Disney Animation Studios' popular 1940 version of Pinocchio in character design or characterization; the puppet wore a T-shirt and shorts instead of a Tyrolean hat, the Cricket (not Jiminy Cricket) had a high-pitched, grating voice, and Geppetto was calm and deliberate, unlike Disney's excitable and absent-minded woodcarver.

The series premiered the week of February 6, 1961 on select local stations. During 1963–64, the series was also aired in Japan on Fuji TV as part of another stop motion TV series, Prince Ciscorn (シスコン王子, lit. Ciscorn Ōji), based on the manga by Fujiko Fujio and also produced by Tadahito Mochinaga for Studio KAI and Dentsu.

Twenty years later, in 1980, Rankin/Bass produced another stop motion adaptation of the novel for the American Broadcasting Company, a Christmas special called Pinocchio's Christmas, which featured a different voice cast including George S. Irving as Geppetto; Todd Porter as Pinocchio; Alan King as Maestro Fire-Eater; Allen Swift as the Fox; Pat Bright as the Cat; and Diane Leslie as Lady Azura.

Summary
An old wood carver Geppetto narrates the series, explaining on how he made a magically living puppet named Pinocchio, who can walk, jump, run and do other things without strings. In addition, he is also known to have his nose grow whenever he tell lies on anything be it right or wrong. Displeased with the need to continue living as a puppet, Pinocchio sets off on a journey with his friend Cricket to find the Blue Fairy, hoping that she can transform him into a real boy (in other words, a human) with her magic. But along the way, Pinocchio and Cricket encounter the two anthropomorphic animal cons, Foxy Q. Fibble and Cool S. Cat, as well as the greatest adventures, mishaps, danger and excitement than they would ever imagine.

Frankoma Pottery is an American pottery company located in Glenpool, Oklahoma. The company is known for its sculptures and dinnerware although the company made many other products including figurines, trivets, and vases. All Frankoma pottery is made in the US from locally excavated clay.

History
Frankoma was founded in 1933 in Norman, Oklahoma, by John Frank, who was a professor of ceramics at the University of Oklahoma from 1927 to 1936. The name Frankoma was derived from "Frank" plus the last three letters of "Oklahoma".  Frank moved the company to Sapulpa in 1938, but rebuilt the factory later that year after a fire.

Frankoma used light-hued local Ada clay in its early products. The light clay was replaced by a Sapulpa OK based brick-red local clay in 1953. John Frank operated the pottery with his wife Grace Lee Frank until his death in 1973; Grace designed a second line called Gracetone for the firm. The factory was rebuilt in 1984 after a September 1983 fire destroyed most of the facility. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1990. The Frank's daughter Joniece ran the pottery until 1991 when she was forced to sell the struggling company. The buyer, Richard Bernstein of Maryland, resold the business in 2005 to Det Merryman.

The company was closed for six weeks and then sold again during the summer of 2008, reopening on August 18 under new owner Joe Ragosta. Ragosta planned to bring back all the employees and continue the Frankoma line of pottery. The year 2008 marked the company's 75-year anniversary. The company closed in 2010 and was auctioned on May 18, 2011. Over a thousand pieces of pottery plus showroom fixtures and equipment were sold. The 1,800 original molds and the Frankoma name were not included in the sale, nor was the real estate. In August 2012, the factory building was sold to a non-pottery manufacturer and the original Frankoma molds and trademark name were sold to FPC LLC.  As of April 2020, pottery continued to be made but in lower volume, focused on artware.

The 2012 exhibition, Oklahoma Clay: Frankoma Pottery, documented Oklahoma culture through pottery; it took place at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.

In November of 2022, Frankoma opened a new manufacturing site and storefront in Glenpool, Oklahoma.  Owner Dennis Glascock constructed the facility in hopes of exposing more people to the company’s products and revitalizing the program.
