Stackable Unified Module Interconnect Technology (SUMIT) is a connector between expansion buses independent of motherboard form factor. Boards featuring SUMIT connectors are usually used in "stacks" where one board sits on top of another.
It was published by the Small Form Factor Special Interest Group.

Details
Two identical connectors carry the signals specified by the standard. Commonly referred to as SUMIT A & SUMIT B, designers have the option of designing with either both SUMIT A and B, or just SUMIT A. The signals carried within each connector is as follows:

SUMIT A:
 One PCI-Express x1 lane
 Four USB 2.0
 ExpressCard
 LPC
 SPI/uWire
 SMBus/I2C Bus

SUMIT B:
 One PCI-Express x1 lane
 One PCI-Express x4 or four more PCI-Express x1 lanes

As of August 2009, three board form factors used the SUMIT connectors for embedded applications: ISM or SUMIT-ISM [90mm × 96mm], Pico-ITXe [72mm × 100mm], and  Pico-I/O [60mm × 72mm].

Elroy is a small unincorporated community in Travis County, Texas, United States. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 125 in 2000. It is located within the Greater Austin metropolitan area.

History
General Antonio López de Santa Anna gave modern-day Elroy to a loyal officer, who swapped it for a horse and saddle to return to Mexico.  The Elroy community, also known as Driskill, Dutch Waterhole, or Hume, was established in 1892 and was named by a local store owner after his son, Leroy. A post office opened in Elroy in 1899 with George L. Hume as postmaster. This post office was discontinued in 1902 and mail was sent to Del Valle. The population of Elroy grew from 25 in 1933 to 125 in 1947. Its population was still reported as 125 for the 2000 Decennial Census.

Elroy serves as the principal site of a state-of-the-art FIA specification Circuit of the Americas motorsport facility that currently hosts the World Endurance Championship, MotoGP, and the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix. Elroy is home to the historic Moline Swedish Lutheran Cemetery and other sites of Swedish-Texan heritage.

The Circuit of the Americas also hosted several events, such as the 2015 Lamborghini Super Trofeo, 2018 Pirelli World Challenge, 2018 Trans-Am Series, 2018 SprintX GT Championship Series, 2019 Blancpain GT World Challenge America, 2019 TC America Series, 2019 Trans-Am Series, 2019 GT4 America Series, 2020 GT World Challenge America, 2020 GT4 America Series, 2020 TC America Series, 2020 GT Sports Club America, 2021 GT World Challenge America, 2021 GT America Series, 2021 GT4 America Series, 2021 TC America Series, and the 2015 Motorcycle Grand Prix of the Americas.

The fourth season of Food Paradise was filmed at Wild Bubba's Wild Game Grill in Elroy in 2012.

In November 1960, Elroy was the site of a Nike missile test that ended in June 1966. The site is now abandoned.

On September 9, 2015, Chris Brown performed at the Austin360 Amphitheatre during his One Hell of a Nite Tour.

Geography
Elroy is located on Farm to Market Road 812,  south of Austin in southeastern Travis County.

Education
In 1907, Elroy had a two-teacher school for 107 white students and a one-teacher school for 61 black students. Elroy schools were later consolidated in 1961 with the Colorado district, which the next year became the Del Valle Independent School District.

Stu Rasmussen (September 9, 1948 – November 17, 2021) was an American politician. He became the nation's first openly transgender mayor when he was elected as the mayor of Silverton, Oregon in November 2008.

He had previously been elected twice in the 1990s as mayor of this Willamette Valley community, before coming out as transgender. He was also three times a member of the city council. He was assigned male at birth, identified as a man, preferred masculine pronouns, had breast implants, and had a feminine gender expression. He sometimes went by the name Carla Fong.

Rasmussen unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the Oregon House of Representatives in 1994 as an independent, and a seat in the Oregon State Senate in 1996 as a Democrat. He ran for the House again in 1998 as a Democrat, losing with 41% of the vote.

In 2013 a musical about Rasmussen, Stu for Silverton, premiered at Seattle's Intiman Theatre.

Rasmussen, a self-described fiscal conservative and social liberal, served as city councilor until January 2009.

He co-owned Silverton's 1936 Palace Theater, which shows first-run movies, since 1974.

Rasmussen died from prostate cancer on November 17, 2021, at the age of 73.

Andrew Wells VanWyngarden (born February 1, 1983) is an American musician. He is the lead vocalist, guitar player and songwriter for the band MGMT, praised for (according to Interview Magazine) "an uncanny knack for producing pop music that sounds as if it were filtered through a kaleidoscope." One of his (and MGMT cofounder Benjamin Goldwasser's) songs, "Kids" (from the Oracular Spectacular album), received a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, while the duo was nominated in the Best New Artist category.

Biography
His father, Bruce VanWyngarden, is the editor-at-large of the alternative newspaper Memphis Flyer. Andrew fondly remembers his childhood years in Memphis, especially fishing and camping with his father. "I've always really liked nature and the ocean. My friends and I would go out with nets and make little aquariums with the creatures we'd find," he said. He was active in YMCA outdoors programs, and the family frequently went canoeing, camping, and fishing.

One of his first experiences with music was listening to his father play The Who song "Pinball Wizard" on his electric guitar with a Fender Twin Reverb amp. In seventh grade, he received a Les Paul guitar and immediately started playing. That same year, he won a contest at Lausanne, playing "Under the Bridge" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He was influenced by the music he listened to with his sister, Nirvana and Ween in particular, and often went through his parents' record collection in the attic where he found Neil Young, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, etc. "From then on, all he ever wanted for Christmas was musical instruments; future seasons saw a drum set, a banjo, and a mandolin."

While in high school, he formed a band with Dan Treharne called Glitter Penis, where it was the two of them playing around on the computer "just making songs," VanWyngarden says. They created and recorded parody songs but did not perform live. Later on, VanWyngarden was in a band called Accidental Mersh with future MGMT guitarist Hank Sullivant who would later introduce him to James Richardson, MGMT's future live guitarist. The band achieved local success and fame in and around the Memphis area, and released two albums: The self-titled Accidental Mersh and Mirror Israeli. The first album reached the #2 spot on Napster's "Unsigned Bands" chart. The band went on hiatus when most of its members went to college. Andrew invited Ben Goldwasser to play the keyboard for Mersh during the summer of 2002. The band had a weekly gig at Newby's, but the shows were sparsely attended and the band dissolved. In college, he wrote and performed a song called "Super Volcano" for a class.

VanWyngarden attended and graduated in music from Wesleyan University, where he met fellow band member Ben Goldwasser in his freshman year. He said he planned to study the natural sciences of astronomy, but meeting Goldwasser changed his whole life course. He also mentioned studying entomology while in college. It was Andrew who initiated the formation of the group: "[Ben] wasn't really into it. I remember him saying he wanted to do some sort of social work, something noble for a good cause. I was like: 'C'mon, man! Where's your selfish ambition?'" Andrew (according to Q) remembered his University years as something "almost sickeningly idyllic: lots of doing mushrooms in the woods, not a hard graft in the library."

VanWyngarden was on NMEs Cool List in 2008 at number 3, just below Jay-Z and Alice Glass.

Andrew came up with the title of MGMT's 2010 album Congratulations while making Oracular Spectacular. He writes a lot of the lyrics for MGMT, he has described the process, "I'd sit down for a few hours and try to do them. Usually, the ideas for the lyrics have been in my head for a while, and that's how I go over them again and again." His favorite song from the album is "Siberian Breaks." In a 2010 interview, speaking of fame and its effects on him, Andrew conceded that to some extent he's turned into a kind of character he was poking fun at in the debut album. "I didn't realize it until now, but it's kind of funny, because the first song on our first album was 'Time to Pretend', which was about the imagined rock star scenario. So, [the song] 'It's Working' is like, "Yeah, we went out there and we did a lot of drugs, and it's not that great".

Side projects
Andrew VanWyngarden is in a project with Kevin Barnes from Of Montreal called Blikk Fang. In October 2014, it was announced that two songs would be released by Blikk Fang in Polyvinyl Records' 4 Track Singles Series for 2015. He appeared in The Heart is a Drum Machine, a documentary film about the nature of contemporary music.

In 2014, he released a solo track entitled "I Just Knew" for the surfing film Spirit of Akasha. He also released a cover of "I'm Alive", a song originally by Peter Howe.

In October 2020, VanWyngarden began hosting a radio show on WYXR called Time Passage.

VanWyngarden mentions Werner Herzog, David Lynch, and Federico Fellini as his favorite directors.

Personal life
VanWyngarden is of partial Dutch descent. He has previously dated models Camille Rowe and Andreea Diaconu. VanWyngarden resides in Rockaway Beach, Queens, New York.

In March 2020, VanWyngarden endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders's second presidential bid.

On November 30, 2020, VanWyngarden released the Fanta Se EP under the DJ name Gentle Dom. In January 2021, Gentle Dom released a remix of "All About You" by The Knocks featuring Foster the People.

He did not make his debut until 29 October of the following year, when he came on as a 59th-minute substitute for Mehmet Ekici in a 3–3 away draw against SV Sandhausen, but soon became a regular in the team, initially in midfield but subsequently in defence; he scored his first goal for the reserves on 14 February 2009, in a 3–2 loss at Dynamo Dresden.

In 2010, Haas was picked by Bayern Munich manager Louis van Gaal for the main squad, but continued to play mainly for the B-side. He appeared in pre-season friendlies with the former, most notably the Franz Beckenbauer farewell match against Real Madrid, but, not being involved in any competitive games, moved to England on 31 January 2011 and signed for Football League Championship club Middlesbrough for an undisclosed fee.

Middlesbrough
Haas made his debut for Boro against Queens Park Rangers, playing the last eight minutes in a 3–0 home defeat. He made his first full start in a 4–2 victory at Hull City, on 23 April 2011.

At the end of the season, Haas was released.

Portugal
In January 2012, Haas had a trial at Karlsruher SC, but nothing came of it. At the end of the month he moved to Portugal and joined U.D. Leiria, signing until 30 June 2014.

On 12 February 2012, Haas made his official debut for his new team, playing the full 90 minutes in a 4–0 away loss to Porto. He was used regularly until the end of the campaign, but eventually terminated his contract alongside several other players due to lack of payments, as the side ranked 16th and last in the Primeira Liga.

On 26 June 2012, Haas signed with S.C. Braga for three years. He played his first league match the following 6 January, playing the entire 1–0 home win against Moreirense; his competitive debut had taken place on 16 November, in the 3–1 success at Pampilhosa for the season's Taça de Portugal.

Haas scored his first and only goal for the Minho side on 2 January 2013, helping to a 2–1 away win over Associação Naval 1º de Maio for the Taça da Liga.

Lone Ranger (born Anthony Alphanso Waldron, 2 November 1958, Jubilee Hospital, Kingston, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae deejay who recorded nine albums between the late 1970s and mid-1980s.

Biography
Waldron spent much of his youth in the Tottenham, United Kingdom before returning to Jamaica in 1971. He began his recording career with Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's Studio One label. He initially worked as a duo with Welton Irie, but soon began recording solo, having a big hit in Jamaica with "Love Bump". He also worked on the Virgo Sound sound system. He had a number one UK reggae chart album in 1980 with Barnabas Collins. He is regarded as one of the most lyrically inventive deejays of his era, and was a major influence on British deejays of the early 1980s. He relocated to the United States in the mid-1980s, but returned to Jamaica in 1998, and began performing on sound systems once again.

The Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International (FGBMFI) is a fellowship of lay businessmen. Its main purpose is to bring interest to the Christian gospel. Theologically, the organization has its roots in Pentecostalism.
The headquarters is in Irvine, California.

History
FGBMFI was founded in 1952 in Los Angeles by Demos Shakarian, a California rancher. The expression "Full Gospel" in the name of the association is central to the vision of the organization. Following a difficult start (for a year nothing happened to the original group that met weekly), then a donation of $1000 was given to start a small publication titled Full Gospel Business Men's VOICE, it grew steadily, the second chapter was in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and after a few years chapters were set up throughout the world.  In 1972, the membership was 300,000. In 1988, there were 3,000 chapters in 90 countries.

After Demos Shakarian died in 1993, his son Richard Shakarian assumed the organization's leadership.

In 2023, Francis Owusu was elected president of the organization.

The organization was present in 85 countries in 2023.

Controversies
In the 1980s, the presence on the board of directors and the financial management of Demos Shakarian were challenged.

Lund is a small unincorporated community in northeast Travis County, Texas, United States. It is located within the Greater Austin metropolitan area.

History
Late in the 1880s, Swedes began to settle in Lund. It was initially called Pleasant Hill. A post office with the name of either a local family or the town in Sweden was established there in 1899. The community served as the hub of a sizable Swedish agricultural hamlet that grew as an outpost of the New Sweden region four miles to the west. N. M. Anderson, August Thornquist, and Gustaf Seaholm were Lund's first settlers. Other Swedish families settled in the area in the 1890s. The pastor of the New Sweden Lutheran Church was Dr. J. A. Stamline. On January 16, 1897, the Bethlehem congregation in Lund was founded with 19 communicants and 20 children. P. V. Nelson, Nels Ankarstolpe, and J. E. Rivers donated  of land to the congregation, and another acre was set aside for a communal cemetery. Building on the church began in the autumn of 1899. In 1989, the Bethlehem Lutheran Church was still in operation. Lund had a general store, two cotton gins, and a blacksmith shop in the 1890s. From their residence in Lund, two brothers named Carl and Fred Bergman wrote letters to their sisters who lived in Sweden. They wrote, "West of us there live nothing but Swedes for a distance of about sixteen miles," in a letter dated January 23, 1896. "A peculiar variety of people dwell east, south, and north of us, including Americans, Germans, Bohemians, Negroes, and Mexicans." Large crops were generated by the fertile countryside, and the new immigrants in Lund started to identify more with Americans than with Swedes. 27 Lund natives fought in World War I, while several others did the same in World War II. Lund was seriously destroyed by a storm on April 7, 1980. The Lund Bethlehem Lutheran Church had to be destroyed after being upended from its foundation. To replace the original church, a sizable brick building with a bell tower was constructed.

Geography
Lund is located in northeastern Travis County.

Education
The year 1891 saw the establishment of a Swedish Lutheran Sunday school by Dr. J. A. Stamline. The first school in Lund was established in the fall of 1894, and the initial academic year was three months long. The schoolhouse had windows on two sides and was  by  in size. The school at Lund was closed in 1947 due to a decline in the population of the rural area, and the Manda school district subsequently incorporated it along with the schools in Carlson, New Sweden, and Kimbro. They all came together to form the Elgin Independent School District in 1963.

Schools that are zoned for the community are Neidig Elementary School, Elgin Middle School, and Elgin High School.

Elpadaro F. Electronica Allah (born Timothy Elpadaro Thedford; September 19, 1976), known professionally as Jay Electronica (stylized as  ), is an American rapper and record producer. Born and raised in New Orleans, he first received widespread attention in 2007, after the release of his mixtape, Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge). Its success along with the stand-alone single "Exhibit C" subsequently led New York rapper Jay-Z to sign Electronica to his record label, Roc Nation in 2010. His debut studio album, A Written Testimony was released in March 2020 and followed up by Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn) in October of the same year.

Career
In 2007, Jay Electronica released his first mixtape, Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge), via MySpace. It was downloaded over 50,000 times. That success and his catalog led to Electronica joining the Rock the Bells Tour in 2008.

Later that year, producer Just Blaze and Jay Electronica selected songs for Guitar Center's GAIN project, Fresh Cuts Vol. 3 and included a (previously unnamed) song  which Just Blaze named "Exhibit A (Transformations)."

Just Blaze would later (October 27, 2009) debut "Exhibit C" on Tony Touch's Sirius Radio program, where it quickly caught on, making its way to terrestrial radio stations like New York's Hot 97 and spawning artist remixes from MCs AZ, N.O.R.E, Saigon, Joell Ortiz and others.

A bidding war ensued with Jay finally signing (November 12, 2010) with Roc Nation. Though fans and critics anticipated a full-length debut, Electronica's output in the subsequent decade consisted of several collaborations and non-album solo songs.

On February 7, 2020, Jay Electronica announced via Twitter the completion of his album, A Written Testimony, which was recorded over a 40-day period. It was released on March 13, 2020.

On October 5, 2020, Jay Electronica announced via Twitter that his previously unreleased album, Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn), was available for streaming on Tidal after the album had surfaced online two days prior.

In August 2021, Jay Electronica was featured on the song "Jesus Lord" released on Kanye West's album Donda.

Personal life

Jay Electronica and Erykah Badu were in a relationship for five years and have a daughter together, Mars Merkaba Thedford, who was born in 2009.

Jay Electronica had an affair with Kate Emma Rothschild, the wife of Benjamin Goldsmith, resulting in the breakdown of Goldsmith's marriage.

Jay Electronica is a registered member of the Nation of Islam,  follower of Louis Farrakhan and sampled him on A Written Testimony. The track "The Ghost of Soulja Slim" from the album includes a reference to the "Synagogue of Satan", a phrase pulled from Revelation 2:9 often considered as an antisemitic slur.  As a result, Electronica has been accused of antisemitism. His verse on Noname's song "Balloons" also features numerous antisemitic dog whistles, including the Rothschild conspiracy theory.

Marshall Ford is a small unincorporated community in Travis County, Texas, United States. It is located within the Greater Austin metropolitan area.

History
For many years, the agricultural and ranching regions in the western section of the county were connected to Austin by the original ford or low-water crossing of the Colorado River; the trading station and supply point in the bend of the river later became the market for cedar posts and timber. The Lower Colorado River Authority took control of the region in 1934, and Mansfield Dam, the main flood-control facility in a network of dams in the Colorado basin, was erected. Jack S. Beauchamp served as the first postmaster when a post office was established in Marshall Ford. In 1942, the office was shut down, and the locals' mail was forwarded to Austin.

Geography
Marshall Ford is located on the coast of Lake Travis,  northwest of Austin in Travis County.

Education
Today, the community is served by the Leander Independent School District. Schools serving the community are Steiner Ranch Elementary School, Canyon Ridge Middle School, and Vandegrift High School.

The men's 100 metre freestyle was a swimming event held as part of the swimming at the 1932 Summer Olympics programme. It was the eighth appearance of the event, which had not been featured only at the 1900 Games. The competition was held from Saturday August 6, 1932 to Sunday August 7, 1932. Twenty-two swimmers from ten nations competed. Nations had been limited to three swimmers each since the 1924 Games. The event was won by Yasuji Miyazaki of Japan, snapping a five-Games American win streak. Japan was only the third nation to win a gold medal in the event (Hungary had won the first two, the United States the next five). The final was entirely made up of Japanese and American swimmers, three each; Japan took the top two places as Tatsugo Kawaishi earned silver. The top American, Albert Schwartz, earned bronze. While the American win streak had ended at five, the nation's podium streak ran to seven Games.

Background

This was the eighth appearance of the men's 100 metre freestyle. The event has been held at every Summer Olympics except 1900 (when the shortest freestyle was the 200 metres), though the 1904 version was measured in yards rather than metres.

Two of the seven finalists from 1928 returned: silver medalist István Bárány of Hungary and sixth-place finisher Walter Spence of Canada. Two-time gold medalist Johnny Weissmuller of the United States had retired to focus on his acting career; Tarzan the Ape Man was released earlier in 1932. The American swimming team remained strong. Japan, however, also had an impressive team, led by 15-year-old Yasuji Miyazaki.

The Philippines made its debut in the event. The United States made its eighth appearance, having competed at each edition of the event to date.

Competition format

This freestyle swimming competition used a three-round (quarterfinals, semifinals, final) format. The advancement rule was a modification of the one used since 1912, allowing the top swimmers in each race plus one or more wild cards to advance. For this event, the top two in each preliminary heat plus the fastest third-place swimmer would advance to the semifinals; the top three in each semifinal would move on to the final. There were 4 heats of between 5 and 6 swimmers, allowing 9 swimmers to advance to the semifinals. The 2 semifinals had 4 or 5 swimmers each; 6 advanced to the final.

Each race involved two lengths of the 50-metre pool.

Records

These were the standing world and Olympic records (in seconds) prior to the 1932 Summer Olympics.

Saturday August 6, 1932: In the first semifinal Yasuji Miyazaki set a new Olympic record with 58.0 seconds.

New Sweden is a small unincorporated community in northeastern Travis County, Texas. It is located within the Greater Austin metropolitan area.

History
When it was founded in 1873, the community was known as Knight's Ranch; however, once the New Sweden Lutheran Church was built there in 1876, the name of the place changed to New Sweden (often written New Sweeden). In 1882, a cotton gin was put into service at New Sweden, and a post office followed in 1887. By the middle of the 1890s, the community had 42 residents and two general businesses. Its population had grown to 104 by 1900. Mail serving the neighborhood was delivered to Manor when the post office was shut down in 1902. The population had decreased to 25 by the early 1930s, but by the end of the decade, 60 people were living there and remained at that number through 1990.

The first pioneers of this settlement, with a few exceptions, came from the historic Swedish province of Småland.
The church has a Manor mailing address. It is recognized by its steeple. In 2009, the estimated population was 60.

Geography
New Sweden is on Farm to Market Road 973, five miles northeast of Manor in northeastern Travis County.

Education
New Sweden hosted a common school district until it joined the Manda school district with other communities in the early 1940s.

Today, the community is served by the Manor Independent School District. Schools serving the community are Shadowglen Elementary School, Manor Middle School, and Manor High School.

Bruce de la Coeur Hylton-Stewart (27 November 1891 – 1 October 1972) was a musician and schoolteacher who played first-class cricket for Somerset and Cambridge University between 1912 and 1914.

Born at New Brighton and brought up also in Cheshire, where his father Charles Henry Hylton Stewart was a minor canon of Chester Cathedral. Hylton-Stewart was educated at Bath College, then went up to Peterhouse, Cambridge, with an organ scholarship. He was a right-handed lower or middle order batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler.

He first appeared in first-class cricket in the Somerset match against the South Africans in 1912, when he replaced the injured Harry Chidgey after the game had started. Two weeks later, he made his only appearance of the 1912 season for Cambridge University, and then from mid-July appeared fairly regularly for Somerset for the rest of the season. His batting was not successful, but he had one sensational day as a bowler, taking five wickets for three runs in 14 balls against Worcestershire at Stourbridge: these remained the best bowling figures of his first-class cricket career.

In 1913, Hylton-Stewart played 11 first-class matches, most of them in the second half of the season and all of them for Somerset. He took five wickets in an innings for a second time, this time five for 72 against Yorkshire at Park Avenue, Bradford. His batting improved as well, and he made his first score of more than 50, an unbeaten 72 against Sussex at Bath.

The 1914 season was Hylton-Stewart's most successful as a batsman – he made 520 runs at an average of 20.80 per innings. After two matches for Cambridge in mid-season, he again played most of Somerset's matches in the second half of the year. Batting now in the middle order, he made his only first-class century, 110, made in 105 minutes out of an innings of 220, against Essex at Leyton. And late in the season, he made 91 against Worcestershire at Taunton.

During the First World War Hylton-Stewart was commissioned in the British Army and served with school Officers' Training Corps (OTC), first at The Leys School and then at Haileybury. He remained with the Haileybury OTC until 1929 when he resigned his commission.

Hylton-Stewart did not return to first-class cricket after the First World War but played Minor Counties cricket for Hertfordshire up to 1927.

Hylton-Stewart taught at Marlborough College 1934–54 and then was Director of Music and organist at St James's Church, Piccadilly, 1954–70. He died at Marlborough.

Note on spelling
Hylton-Stewart's surname is written without a hyphen in some non-cricketing references, regularly with a hyphen in cricketing references. Both his father and his older brother, Charles Hylton Stewart (1884–1932), who achieved fame as a composer of church music including settings for Psalms and as the organist at Rochester and Chester Cathedrals and at St George's Chapel, Windsor, are generally written without a hyphen.

Bruce Hylton-Stewart's middle name is also, in some references, spelled as "Delacour".

Deep, also known as Deep Cold or Deep Da 1, was an American Southern rap artist of Indian origin from Houston, Texas. Raised in the city, Deep attended the same high school as Paul Wall and Chamillionaire. His first interest in music came at a young age when a tight family household income made him seek other avenues of making money.

Biography

After a rough year in 2000, Deep Cold was forced to re-evaluate his position and decided to co-create Da 1 Records with his cousin. Deep Cold released his debut album In Trunks Now in 2005 on his independent label. It featured big Southern Rap names such as Slim Thug, David Banner, Big Moe, Big Pokey as well as Too $hort.
Since then he has personally signed new artists Lenny Lenn and Kamla Punjabi to the label and has played a major role in the financing of their album.
His comment about his style of music. "I don't have a specific style of music that can be categorized.  I make music that transcends hate, barriers and race.  That's what music is intended to (do)."
He co-hosted a MTV Desi Show with Kamala Punjabi.

Deep released 'Dekhlo Punjabi Munde' in 2007.  The song quickly moved up the BBC charts and spread worldwide. In 2009, Deep and Kamla Punjabi released a collaboration album 'Nach Nach' which was produced by DJ Sanj/J-Nas. In 2010 'Dekhlo Punjabi Munde' was remixed by replacing Deep Cold and Kamla Punjabi's verses with the vocals of Diljit Dosanjh and featured in the Punjabi movie Mel Karade Rabba, albeit retaining the chorus of the original.

Deep Cold has worked with David Banner, Too $hort, Slim Thug, Big Moe, Lil KeKe, Billy Cook, C-Note (Botany Boyz), S.U.C. - Screwed Up Click, Master Saleem, Sonu Nigam, The Teflon Don, Sonny Brown, DJ Sanj/J-Nas, Diljit Singh, Jas Rai, Kamla Punjabi, Haji Springer and more.

Daniel Brinley 'Bryn' Evans (16 January 1902 – 29 April 1970) was a Welsh international rugby union scrum-half who played for Wales and Swansea.

Rugby career
Evans originally played rugby for lower-tier club Penclawdd, whose senior team he captained during the 1929/30 season, before moving to first class side Swansea.

Evans played only one game for Wales, against Scotland as part of the 1933 Home Nations Championship. Wales had just come away from an historic victory over England in the opening game of the competition, when the team won at Twickenham for the first time. Welsh hopes were high for the second game that was against Scotland at Swansea's home ground St Helens. The selectors wanted to stick with the same team that had beaten the English, but Maurice Turnbull had reported in injured. The selectors therefore decided to drop his partner, the reliable Harry Bowcott to allow for the Swansea partnership of Evans and Ron Morris to take their place. Although on home soil and against an inexperienced Scottish team, Wales lost 11–3, and Evans was dropped for the next match and never represented his country again.

Robert Crewdson was an English professional footballer. He spent nine years at Blackpool in the early 1900s, making over 200 Football League appearances for the club. He played as a defender.

Blackpool
Fleetwood-born Crewdson made his debut for Blackpool, whom he joined from Fleetwood Mechanics, twelve games into their 1904–05 league season, a 4–2 defeat by Bristol City at Bloomfield Road on 19 November 1904. He went on to make just one other appearance that campaign.

The following season, 1905–06, he made thirteen league appearances and two in the FA Cup.

He made more appearances still in 1906–07 — 29 in the league and one in the FA Cup.

It was in 1907–08, that Crewdson became a regular in the team. He missed only one of Blackpool's 38 league games, and played in their one FA Cup tie (against Manchester United at Old Trafford).

Crewdson missed only two games of the Seasiders' 1908–09 league campaign and appeared in both Blackpool's first- and second-round FA Cup ties.

By contrast, injuries kept Crewdson out of the majority of the 1909–10 season. He made just ten appearances.

He returned to the team as a regular in 1910–11, making thirty league appearances. He also started in Blackpool's sole FA Cup fixture — another tie at Old Trafford.

1911–12 saw Crewdson miss only three league games. He again appeared in all of Blackpool's four FA Cup ties (including two first-round replays against Crewe Alexandra).

Crewdson appeared in less than half of Blackpool's 1912–13 league calendar. He did, however, start both FA Cup ties against Tottenham Hotspur in January 1913. His final appearance for Blackpool occurred on 1 March, in a 4–2 defeat at Bradford City.

The Samuel Orton Harrison House, located in West Caldwell in Essex County, New Jersey, United States, was selected for inclusion in the Historic American Buildings Survey (1937) as significantly representative of Greek Revival architectural style. The dwelling was built between 1830 and 1840 and remained in possession of Mrs. Hannah Harrison until 1946 when the property was sold to historic preservationist Raymond Dey. At the time of sale the structure was virtually unchanged from its initial build. Dey subsequently performed renovations and minor alterations to the first floor plan to enable continued use as a private residence. Under subsequent ownership the house was placed on the National Register of Historic Placeson October 26, 1979.

The property came under threat as the estate of the late Sandford Cole was being probated during the peak of a highly speculative real estate market in 2007. The town, eager to reassert manifest destiny and rid itself of an albatross of history, quickly approved demolition. The structure was razed without notice much to the sadness of many local residents.

As for Timothy Cole's share of the estate, it has since been largely dissipated in the securities markets by the estate managers for the late Sandford S. Cole.

John Edward Jones (2 May 1806 – 25 July 1862) was a noted Irish civil engineer and sculptor, active in Dublin and London.

Biography
Jones was born in Dublin, the son of miniature painter Edward Jones. As 'J. Jones', architect, 7 Amiens Street, North Strand, Dublin, he exhibited several watercolors at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1828 and 1829, including his View of the Town of Youghall, showing the proposed Chain Bridge (1828) and Design for a Viaduct (1829). He studied engineering under Alexander Nimmo, and for him worked on major engineering projects in Ireland including the building of the bridge at Waterford from 1829 to 1832 (which he directed). He was listed as a civil engineer in Wilson's Dublin Directory for the years 1833–35 with an office address at the Commercial Buildings, Dame Street. In 1839 he was awarded a Telford Medal in silver and 20 guineas for his paper and drawings on the sewage in Westminster.

In 1840 Jones ceased his engineering practice to become a sculptor in London, with considerable success, particularly in portrait busts of notables including Queen Victoria and Albert, Prince Consort. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1854 to 1862. Jones died while visiting Finglas, near Dublin, and is buried in Mount Jerome Cemetery.

The  Dundalk, Newry and Greenore Railway (DNGR, DN&GR) was an Irish gauge () railway in Ireland. It was conceived in the 1860s to provide a link between the towns in its title and the London and North Western Railway port at Greenore, from where a ferry service operated to Holyhead. It was opened between Greenore and Dundalk in 1873 and extended to Newry in 1876. The company operated a hotel at Greenore.

Ownership
The L&NWR owned the railway and at first provided its locomotives and rolling stock, with the locomotives coming from its Crewe Works. The railway passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923 but an agreement was reached in 1933 for the line to be worked by the Great Northern Railway. Because the partition of Ireland placed  an international frontier across the DN&G's Greenore – Newry line, it was not absorbed into either the Great Southern Railways in 1925 or the Ulster Transport Authority in 1948.

Closure
The line was closed on 31 December 1951 and was dissolved in 1957 by act of consent.

Preservation

One six-wheeled coach, DNGR No. 1 built in 1909, a composite with a coupé compartment, has been preserved at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, Cultra.

Consideration was given to the preservation of locomotive No.1 Macrory but, in the end, no locomotives were preserved. It is believed that this was because of an ill-informed belief among those in charge of its fate that the locomotive was of a different track gauge to the rest of Ireland, due to the fact that it was built and owned by a British company, although this was not the case. All of the locomotive nameplates have been preserved.

However, a GNR 2-4-2T JT class locomotive, No. 93, which worked on the DNGR line under GNR operation, has also been preserved and is displayed with the DNGR coach in Cultra.

Guy Clark is the third studio album by the Texas singer-songwriter Guy Clark, released in 1978. It was his first on the Warner Bros. label.

Critical reception
Record Collector wrote: "More experimental than the straight country of its predecessors, on which cellos and harpsichords dovetailed with more traditional Nashville instrumentation, Clark’s sly wit is in abundance on 'Comfort And Crazy' and 'Shade Of All Greens.'"

The song, "Fools for Each Other" was covered by Johnny Rodriguez in 1979, reaching no. 14 on the country charts for that year. It was also later included in the albums, The Platinum Collection, The Essential Guy Clark, and Craftsman. Another version was recorded in 1986 as a duet by Lynn Anderson and Ed Bruce, which was included on Bruce's studio album, Night Things, peaking at No. 49 on the country charts as a single.

Brightlingsea railway station was located in Brightlingsea, Essex. It was on the single track branch line of the Wivenhoe and Brightlingsea Railway which opened in 1866 and closed in 1964.

History
The station building was located on the southern side of Lower Park Road where the town's community centre now sits.

The station and line was built by The Wivenhoe & Brightlingsea Railway company. This was incorporated in 1861 to build a line from Wivenhoe to Brightlingsea which opened on 18 April 1866. The company was a separate, but associated, company to the Tendring Hundred Railway which had built the line from Colchester to Wivenhoe. The GER soon negotiated to buy both the Tendring Hundred Railway and the Clacton-on-Sea Railway, and they became part of the GER on 1 July 1883.  The Wivenhoe & Brightlingsea was absorbed by the GER on 9 June 1893.

The station was host to a camping coach from 1936 to 1939.

The line was temporarily closed on 1 February 1953 following severe flood damage but was not reopened until 7 December that year.

Closure
The service was identified for closure the Beeching Report of 1963 and was eventually axed in 1964. This was supposedly prompted by the high costs of maintaining the railway swing bridge over Alresford Creek, which was necessary to allow boat traffic to the many sand and gravel pits in the area.

The station building stayed in place for four years after the railway's closure until it was damaged by fire in 1968. The building was finally demolished in November 1969.

Remains of railway

The visible relics of the railway's presence today are the Railway public house and micro-brewery, and the old embankment which is now a footpath. It is possible to walk along virtually the whole length of the former route from very near the site of the old station in Brightlingsea along the old embankment to the site of the former swing bridge. This makes for a pleasant, scenic walk alongside the River Colne with its ecologically interesting salt marsh environment.

The nearest railway station is now at Alresford.

The Diocese of Quincy was a diocese of the Episcopal Church in western Illinois from 1877 to 2013.  The cathedral seat (home of the diocese) was originally in Quincy, Illinois but was moved to St. Paul's Cathedral in Peoria in 1963. In order to avoid confusion with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Peoria, the diocese retained the name of the location of its original "home" city, Quincy, where its cathedral seat was St. John's.

In November 2008, a majority of the diocesan synod (or diocesan convention) voted to leave the Episcopal Church and associate with Anglican Province of the Southern Cone, a member province of the worldwide Anglican Communion, as part of the conservative Anglican realignment movement.  Those parishes and parishioners who did not vote to leave the Episcopal Church remained and continued as the Diocese of Quincy.

Anglican realignment

The diocese did not ordain women to the presbyterate, but does have two female deacons. As of 2006 it was one of three dioceses in the Episcopal Church that did not ordain women; the other two were the Diocese of San Joaquin, whose convention voted to secede from the Episcopal Church in December 2007, and the Diocese of Fort Worth, whose convention voted in November 2008 to secede.

In 2006, the diocese issued a news release saying that it was "unwilling to accept the leadership" of the Presiding Bishop, Katharine Jefferts Schori, and passed resolutions asking for "alternative pastoral oversight" and withdrawing consent to be included in Province 5 of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America.

On November 7, 2008, the 131st Synod of the Diocese of Quincy voted to leave the Episcopal Church and instead join the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone.  As Keith Ackerman's resignation as bishop took effect on November 1, Edward den Blaauwen of Moline, Illinois was appointed to preside over the synod.

The major resolutions, which both passed, were to annul the diocese's accession to the constitution and canons of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America and to join the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone.  After the vote to realign passed, it was announced that Archbishop Gregory Venables of the Southern Cone diocese appointed den Blaauwen as vicar general in the absence of a sitting bishop.

Also passed by the synod were: a resolution that parishes may withdraw from "the Synod of this Diocese" by a two-thirds vote within the following nine months, and clergy may transfer to other dioceses; a resolution seeking an amicable settlement regarding diocesan assets with the Episcopal Church and any congregations that might seek to remain in the Episcopal Church; a resolution that other parishes outside the geographic boundaries may join the synod of the diocese; funding for the Province of the Southern Cone and the Anglican Communion Network; support for the Common Cause Partnership; and a new diocesan canon to govern marriage, defined as being between "one man and one woman".

The Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop, Katharine Jefferts Schori, stated that "The Episcopal Diocese of Quincy remains, albeit with fewer members."  The legitimacy of other secession actions has been actively challenged by the Episcopal Church, which takes the position that dioceses and parishes may not leave without the Episcopal Church's governing bodies.  As a consequence, the long-term effect of these votes is unclear, as with similar cases in the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin and the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh; those two dioceses have each split into two factions, with each faction claiming to be the legitimate succession of the traditional diocese.  Neither secession nor annulment of accession is either prohibited or provided for by the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church.  The Constitution and Canons of the Province of the Southern Cone allow only dioceses in the six southern nations of South America, but the Province of the Southern Cone has agreed to accept realigning dioceses "on an emergency and pastoral basis".

An executive committee was elected at the cathedral on December 13, 2008, to carry out the business of the committee to Reorganize the Diocese of Quincy, in communion with the Episcopal Church, particularly to organize a special synod of the Diocese of Quincy to elect a standing committee and other officials of the diocese.  Keith Whitmore, assistant bishop of the Diocese of Atlanta, retired bishop of the Diocese of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, served the Diocese of Quincy, as consulting bishop, until a special synod, held at the cathedral on April 4, 2009.  The synod elected John Clark Buchanan, retired Bishop of West Missouri, as provisional bishop.

Reunification
In February 2012 representatives of the Diocese of Quincy and the Diocese of Chicago met in Peoria to discuss reunification of the two dioceses.  The meetings in Peoria ended with a decision to continue talks.

On April 28, 2012, leaders from both dioceses met to further discuss reunification.  Participants from both dioceses agreed to meet again in August, as well as to allocate time to discuss the issue at the annual diocesan wide conventions held by both dioceses.  The participants also agreed to form a joint working group to discuss some of the legal issues involved with the process.

In November the Chicago diocese's convention agreed that reunification with the Quincy diocese should be pursued. On June 8, 2013, both diocesan conventions voted unanimously to reunify. The reunification was ratified by a majority of bishops and the standing committees of the Episcopal Church, and on September 1, 2013, the Diocese of Quincy merged into the Diocese of Chicago as the Peoria Deanery.

The Gare de Saint-Nazaire is the passenger railway station serving the French town and port of Saint-Nazaire.

Designed by Noël Le Maresquier with a functional and maritime style, it was built in 1955 in anticipation of the arrival of the TGV Atlantique and replaced an older station in the town developed in the 19th century by the Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans railway. Located to the north of the town, to make access easier there is a bridge linking the station to the main town centre.

Its design has come in for some local criticism in 2008, as well as its state of upkeep. SNCF have promised various levels of maintenance and development, particularly to assist disabled passengers and make a better impression on visitors to the town. Access to the station by foot or car is currently difficult, due to associated and local redevelopment.

The shell of the old station, now a performing arts theatre, is located further south, adjacent to the Port of Saint Nazaire. It is also noted for being the site of one of the most incredible survival stories of WW2. On January 3, 1943, US Airman Alan Magee fell from his crippled B-17, without a parachute, from a height 20,000 feet.  He crashed through the glass ceiling of the train station, which slowed his fall enough to allow him to survive upon hitting the floor below.

Services

The station is served by both the TGV and the regional trains and buses of the TER Pays de la Loire. The TGV (high speed train) provides connection to Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Lille, and Strasbourg; with trains to Paris via the LGV Atlantique taking just over 2 hours. TER Pays de la Loire and Interloire provide links to Nantes, Angers, Le Mans, La Roche sur Yon, and many other regional cities and towns.

Harriet Candace "Rose" Clark was born in 1852 in La Port, Indiana. She was trained as a painter and taught painting and drawing in the 1880s at Saint Margaret’s School in Buffalo, New York.  One of her students was Mabel Dodge Luhan, and Clark later designed and restored Luhan’s villa in Florence, Italy.

Beginning in 1890 she became active as a photographer and worked independently until 1898. Sometime in the late 1890s she met Wade, and the two began their twelve-year collaboration. About 1900 she began corresponding with Alfred Stieglitz, who encouraged and counseled her in her art. Stieglitz cited her, along with Gertrude Käsebier, Eva Watson-Schütze, and Mary Devens, as one of the ten most prominent American pictorial photographers currently working in an article in Century Magazine in 1902.

Clark apparently learned some of her photographic artistry from Käsebier; later in her life she said she owed Käsebier for "any success she had with a camera".

About 1920 she moved from Buffalo to New York City, where she advertised her portraits and other paintings for substantial amounts (up to $2,000 for full-length portraits).  She returned to Buffalo in 1926.

Clark never married and little is known about her private life. She died in Buffalo on 28 November 1942 and was buried in La Porte. Her obituary focused on her work as a painter and did not mention anything about her photography.

Misses Clark and Wade

For reasons that have never been explained, Clark and Wade began exhibiting and publishing photos under their joint names beginning in 1899. For many years it was assumed that Clark was the artist who took all of the photographs and Wade was the technician who developed and printed them. Clark herself alluded to this type of arrangement in a letter to Stieglitz in 1900: “Mrs. Wade is very dilatory – and in order to get the photographs you ask for… I will have to prod her daily.”  However, in a letter to Frances Benjamin Johnston that same year, Clark said “Both Miss Wade and myself have used cameras for perhaps ten years or more, but it is only two years ago that we took up portrait work as a business.”

The concept of the artist/technician split in their partnership also might have come from the fact that Clark also had several solo exhibitions while Wade exhibited very little under her own name. There are, however, indications that Wade made aesthetic decisions as well as technical ones. She clearly had interest in and knowledge of aesthetics, and in several of her articles she gives advice on artistic direction. In addition, at least one article featured work under her name alone along with others under their joint names.

Clark and Wade first exhibited under their joint names at shows at the Buffalo Society of Artists and the New York Camera Club in 1899. Over the next decade their photos were featured in major exhibitions around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Photo Club de Paris, Pan-American Exposition, Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.

In 1902 Stieglitz included a print by Clark and Wade in Series 2 of the landmark portfolio American Pictorial Photography. Printed in a limited edition of 150 copies, the portfolio was intended to show only the best photography according to Stieglitz’s discerning eye.

Their collaboration apparently ended around 1910. The reason for the dissolution of their joint effort is not known, although it might have been due to a change in the health of Wade, who died five years later.
