Jane Chapple-Hyam (born October 1966) is an Australian-British racehorse trainer based in Newmarket. She trains horses to run on the flat and saddled her first Group 1 winner in September 2021.

Background

Chapple-Hyam was born Jane Peacock in Melbourne, Australia. Her parents were Susan Rossiter and politician Andrew Peacock. Chapple-Hyam was involved with racing from an early age; her father was the owner of Leilani, winner of the 1974 Caulfield Cup. She attended Geelong Grammar School and did work experience with trainer Colin Hayes. Her parents divorced in 1977 and in 1978 her mother married the British businessman and thoroughbred owner Robert Sangster. Their horse Beldale Ball won the Melbourne Cup in 1980.

Chapple Hyam spent holidays with her mother and stepfather in England and at the age of 17 did a course in stud management at the National Stud in Newmarket. While working at her stepfather's Manton House stables near Marlborough, Wiltshire, she met her future husband Peter Chapple-Hyam.

Career as a trainer

In 2005, with her marriage over, Chapple-Hyam moved to Newmarket and took out a licence to train on her own account. Her first major success came in 2006 when 100/1 outsider Mudawin, ridden by John Egan, won the Ebor Handicap at York. Her first Group race success came in October 2010, when Klammer, ridden by Jamie Spencer, won the Horris Hill Stakes at Newbury. In 2012 Chapple-Hyam acquired the six-year-old Mull of Killough, who went on to win three Group 3 races at Newmarket: the 2012 Darley Stakes and the 2013 and 2014 Earl of Sefton Stakes. He also ran in Group 1 races in Singapore, US and Australia and a Group 2 race in Dubai, without being able to repeat the success he had on his home turf. There were more Group 3 successes with Energia Davos and Saffron Beach before the trainer landed her first Group 1 victory when Saffron Beach, ridden by William Buick, won the 2021 Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket, beating favourite Mother Earth by three lengths. "It's fantastic to finally have our first Group 1 winner and especially for it to be at our local track. That is some compensation for being beaten in the 1,000 Guineas..." she said, referring to the fact that Saffron Beach had come second to Mother Earth in the 1,000 Guineas.

Poor Robin was an English 17th and 18th-century satirical almanac series, appearing as Poor Robin's Almanack from 1663. Other similar writings by the pseudonymous Poor Robin were published later, in America and into the 19th century.

Origins
The earliest volume published under the pseudonym of 'Poor Robin' was an almanac calculated from the meridian of Saffron Walden, which is said to have been originally issued in 1661 or 1662. It was taken over by the Stationers' Company, and was continued annually by various hands until 1776. The identity of its original author has been disputed, but is assigned as William Winstanley by Sidney Lee, in the Dictionary of National Biography, who dismisses the claim that Robert Herrick wrote it. He notes the discovery in the parish registers of Saffron Walden for 14 March 1646-7 relating to Robert Winstanley (a nephew of William and a younger brother of Henry Winstanley) but argues that Robert would still have been a boy when the first almanacs were written; a listing for Robert's publications was given by H. Eckroyd Smith. On internal grounds, namely the verse style of William Winstanley in his known works, Lee argues for the latter, and mentions a 1667 portrait of William Winstanley with the caption 'Poor Robin,' with verses by Francis Kirkman, in a volume called Poor Robin's Jests, or the Compleat Jester'.

In the Dictionary of National Biography article on Robert Pory, by Joseph Hirst Lupton, it is said that Pory, at the time of the first edition in 1663 archdeacon of Middlesex, had his name taken in vain with the claim that he had licensed the almanac.

Another volume in verse by 'Poor Robin,' in which the tone of John Taylor the water-poet is closely followed, was called Poor Robin's Perambulation from Saffron Walden to London performed this Month of July 1678 (London, 1678,); the doggerel poem deals largely with the alehouses on the road, and Lee assigns it to William Winstanley.

Content
"Poor Robin" established a tradition of parody, reporting the trivial and inconsequential juxtaposed with the serious, in parallel chronologies—set in rhymed couplets—of the "Loyal" and the "Fanatic", which began in 1663 and became Old Poor Robin with the 1777 issue. Poor Robin'' offered deadpan prognostications of the obvious, and substituted parodic saints' days under the "Fanatic" rubric. From the turn of the 18th century, the satire becomes blunted and wise homilies of prudence take their place. It observes the continued use of cucking stools in 1746.

St Nicholas's Church is an Anglican church in the market town of Newport, Shropshire, England lying within the Diocese of Lichfield. It is dedicated to St Nicholas, the patron saint of fishermen. The church is a Grade II* listed building.

It is of Early English and Perpendicular architecture. The church sits on an island in the centre of the town and is the main focal point for miles around. The buttressed tower dates from 1360, but the site had been used since the 13th century in the times of Henry I.

History

The church was built in the 12th century with the tower being rebuilt in 1360. Thomas Draper bought the church from the Abbot of Shrewsbury in 1452 but it was not until 1700 that it gained its land and the rectory was endowed. The red brick north and south aisles were added in the 18th century. Galleries and gas lighting was added in 1837. The chancel was rebuilt in 1866. The church has been restored twice, the south side in 1883 and the north side from 1890 by John Norton. The west porch was built in 1904, a gift from Lady Boughey.

In 1912, politician Enoch Powell was baptised at the church where his parents previously had married in 1909.

In 1998 the Vicar, Roy Hibbert, was found guilty of fraud after overcharging parishioners for funerals and other services. For the 2019 Remembrance Day 200 poppies were knitted for the church.

Notable clergy
Michael Beasley, assistant curate in 1999-2003 - later Bishop of Bath and Wells.

Architecture

The sandstone building consists of a chancel, south chapel, nave with aisles and a west tower. The stained glass includes a window in the chancel by Morris & Co. with Burne-Jones figures. One in the south chapel is by Charles Eamer Kempe.

The north west corner of the nave, known locally as the "Longford Corner", contains a stained glass window by Christopher Whall in memory of two brothers of the Leake family killed in the First World War and a wooden parish war memorial plaque to local dead from the same war that were moved here from the former parish church at nearby Longford which closed in 1981. Near this corner is a brass plaque to Captain Walter Rowlands Roberts, Royal Army Medical Corps, who was killed in the Dardanelles in 1915.

The tower has 8 bells hung from wooden headstocks. Five of the bells were cast by Thomas Mears of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London in 1812. The two most recent were cast by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough in 1952.

In the churchyard is a sandstone memorial cross with brass plaques commemorating the men from the town who lost their lives in World War I and World War II,

Joan's on Third is a specialty food marketplace and restaurant located on Third Street in Los Angeles, California, USA. Joan's is situated in an area popular with Angelenos for its eating and shopping establishments, located between the Beverly Center on La Cienega Boulevard and Farmer's Market at the Grove on Fairfax Avenue.

A family business owned and operated by chef Joan McNamara and her children, Carol McNamara Glass and Susie Hastings, Joan's started out as a catering operation running out of a storefront on Third St. As demand grew, McNamara expanded her business to include a small café and marketplace. The store tripled its size after a decade of operation, and the restaurant now includes a full menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The shop in the same space sells artisan cheeses, prepared foods, baked goods, desserts and non-perishables.

Its popularity and success has grown on the strength of its products and good reviews in multiple publications and media outlets. It also has a reputation as a hip gathering spot frequented by Hollywood celebrities and foodies, such as Robert Duvall, Jake Gyllenhaal and Moon Zappa.

When the lines get too long and customers are waiting, Joan has been known to rush out with a tray of cupcakes for everyone.

History

Joan McNamara, namesake of Joan's, is a chef originally from New York, where she ran a cooking school and her own restaurant before moving to L.A. She opened Joan's in 1995 as a catering company located in a storefront on West Third St. Joan's two daughters, Carol, a graduate of the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, and Susie, an alumna of the Georgetown University School of Business, also run the business, with Carol running the Catering and Special Events arm of the business, and Susie overseeing Operations. San Francisco chef Chester Hastings came to work at the store in 1997 and eventually married Susie McNamara.

In 1998 Joan's expanded into an adjacent storefront on Third Street, helping to realize Ms. MacNamara's "lifelong dream of opening a gourmet foods marketplace and café." Another major expansion took place in 2007 that helped expand the scope of the company's operations by tripling the floor space of the market. Beside being a market, Joan's is also a full-service restaurant providing table service and take-out meals for it patrons. Often very busy, Joan's has been described as being reminiscent of some famous New York restaurants, including Zabar's, Dean & DeLuca, and Fairway Market.

Joan's has a full-service cheese counter, dessert bar, assortment of chocolates; and a food counter where sandwiches, ready-to-eat foods, salads and snacks are offered. An assortment of dry goods and refrigerated products are also offered. The owners travel extensively to source products.

Reviews

The restaurant has generally been given favorable reviews in several publications and news outlets, including the New York Times, CNN and Time magazine. A Los Angeles Times review noted that Joan's is the "rare in LA specialty foods store" that "stocks essentials -- salt-cured anchovies sold by the ounce, capers under salt, ricotta cheese, fleur de sel (a specialty sea salt from France), and imported De Cecco brand pasta" and "a small selection of carefully chosen cheeses, such as locally made burrata, English Cotswold, or a truffle-infused Boschetto."

Criticism
While the Los Angeles Times reviewer stated that the food was "above average", she also noted that "It [the restaurant] is somewhat disorganized. When there's a rush (i.e., more than a handful of customers), the servers behind the counter can sometimes get flustered, and it seems to take longer than it should to put together an order." The Zagat Survey lists Joan's as a Top Bakery in the US and the customer reviews posted on the website are mostly positive, with one poster calling Joan's offerings "fun and delicious, albeit expensive, snacks, cheeses, etc."; however a couple of other commentators stated it is "overrated" and "overpriced".

Other customer criticisms center around customer service, the order taking system, food quality, price and value.

The Los Angeles Daily News Food Editor on LA.com noted the crowded conditions in Joan's and warned that "At busy times, it can be difficult to snag a table - and the frenetic pace and wait to order at the counter may not appeal to some. Parking is sometimes difficult to come by."

Celebrities
The company has been noted as being popular among several celebrities and gourmands who live in the southlands of California. Writing for The New York Times, Moon Zappa described Joan's on Third as her favorite Los Angeles eatery. The restaurant is also a favorite of Jake Gyllenhaal, who has been seen dining there with ex-girlfriend Kirsten Dunst.

Ranidel Rozal de Ocampo (born December 8, 1981) is a Filipino former professional basketball player and assistant coach for the TNT Tropang Giga of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). He is the younger brother of Yancy de Ocampo where both played together with FedEx and Talk 'N Text. He also represented the Philippine national basketball team.

College career
De Ocampo started playing organized basketball at the Saint Francis of Assisi College System Doves together with his brother, Yancy. The De Ocampo brothers led the varsity squad to several NCRAA titles. Upon the exit of the older De Ocampo, the Doves were still dominating the league with him, alongside Ervin Sotto and Al Vergara. Thus, he led the squad into several statistical categories such as scoring and rebounding. He won four NCRAA MVP plums making him arguably the finest player in the history of the NCRAA.

Professional career
In 2004, after a celebrated collegiate career at St. Francis, De Ocampo decided to turn pro and enter the PBA draft. He was selected by the FedEx Express as the fourth overall pick, having selected ahead of higher profile players such as decorated UE point guard Paul Artadi, multi-titled PBL veteran Gary David and former Ateneo Blue Eagles star Wesley Gonzales.

During his rookie year, he played alongside his brother Yancy. He played in a total of 59 games and averaged decent rookie numbers of 7.5 points and 4.6 rebounds while playing a little over 21 minutes of action per game.

After a so-so performance in his first year, he made an impact in the 2005–06 season by improving his rookie numbers of 7.5 points per game to 13.3 in his sophomore year in 37 of 51 games played. He also registered 6.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists in that year.

In 2008, de Ocampo was again included in the RP Training Pool, his second stint, assembled by the PBA under Coach Yeng Guiao.

In the middle of the 2008–09 PBA Philippine Cup, he was traded to the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters for veteran Don Allado. His all-around play helped them beat the Alaska Aces in that conference's finals series, 4-3, earning him his first PBA title.

In 2015, de Ocampo led the Texters to the 2015 PBA Commissioner's Cup championship, winning a seven-game series against Rain or Shine Elasto Painters. On April 29, 2015, de Ocampo was named as the Finals MVP. During the series, he averaged 24.3 points and 6.6 rebounds and as well as shooting at an impressive 40% from the three-point area over the course of seven games.

On September 11, 2017, de Ocampo was dealt to the Meralco Bolts along with KaTropa's 2019 second round pick for Justin Chua and Norbert Torres in a three-team trade with Phoenix and Meralco.

On April 13, 2020, de Ocampo announced his retirement from professional basketball.

Lady of Galera is an alabaster female figurine, made in the 7th century BC, that probably represents the Near Eastern goddess Astarte. It is at the National Archaeological Museum of Spain, in Madrid.

The Lady of Galera is most likely of Phoenician manufacture. She sits between two sphinxes and holds a bowl for liquid that poured from two holes in her breasts. Her hair and costume show Egyptian influences, but the sturdy form also resembles Mesopotamian statues. She may have lasted through several generations as a sacred object before being buried as funeral goods.

The figurine was found in Galera, a Spanish town once called Tutugi, in Granada province. Nearby, in Cerro del Real, is the Iberian Necropolis of Tutugi, an important archeological site with various kinds of tombs. The commonest type of tomb there consists of a rectangular chamber covered by a circular mound, which is reached via a long corridor. In these tombs have been found Phoenician, Greek and Iberian vases, ornaments, weapons, furniture and figures of clay and alabaster, dating between the third and sixth centuries BC.

Mary Devens (17 May 1857 – 13 March 1920) was an American photographer who was considered one of the ten most prominent pictorial photographers of the early 20th century. She was listed as a founding member of Alfred Stieglitz’s famed Photo-Secession.

Life
Devens was born on 17 May 1857 in Ware, Massachusetts, the daughter of Arthur Lithgow Devens and Agnes Howard White Devens. She grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts and developed an interest in photography sometime in early life. She had a strong interest in printing techniques that could be manipulated by the photographer, including ozotype, gum bichromate and platinum printing. She mastered the gum bichomate process so well that she gave a lecture on it to the Cambridge Photographic Club in 1896.

At some point before her mid-30s, Devens met Boston photographer F. Holland Day, who influenced her career through encouragement and advocacy of her work. He personally submitted five of her prints to the London Photographic Salon of 1898 and was responsible for introducing her to photographer Alfred Stieglitz, with whom she would regularly correspond for many years.  Day also promoted her work in his famous lecture "Photography as Fine Art" at the Harvard Camera Club in 1900 and included several of her prints in his 1901 exhibition “The New School of American Photography.”

Devens traveled to Europe in 1900-1901, and there she met Edward Steichen and Robert Demachy. Demachy was so impressed with her work that he added several of her photographs to the important Paris exhibition of women photographers organized by Frances Benjamin Johnston.

In 1902 Devens was elected to Britain’s Linked Ring, and Stieglitz listed her as a founding member of the Photo-Secession. That same year Stieglitz also listed her as one of the ten most prominent American pictorial photographers in an article in Century Magazine. He also published one of her photographs in his famous journal Camera Work.

About this same time Devens’ eyesight began to fail rapidly due to an unknown cause. After 1904 she showed only a few prints in exhibitions, although Stieglitz included her work in the inaugural exhibition at his Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession in 1905.  She is not known to have engaged in any photographic activity after 1905.

Devens died on 13 March 1920 in Cambridge. A memorial exhibition of her work was held soon after her passing in 1920 by the Society of Arts and Crafts.

Armadillo is a linear algebra software library for the C++ programming language.  It aims to provide efficient and streamlined base calculations, while at the same time having a straightforward and easy-to-use interface.  Its intended target users are scientists and engineers.

It supports integer, floating point (single and double precision), complex numbers, and a subset of trigonometric and statistics functions. Dense and sparse matrices are supported. Various matrix decompositions are provided through optional integration with Linear Algebra PACKage (LAPACK), Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software (ATLAS), and ARPACK. High-performance BLAS/LAPACK replacement libraries such as OpenBLAS and Intel MKL can also be used.

The library employs a delayed-evaluation approach (during compile time) to combine several operations into one and reduce (or eliminate) the need for temporaries. Where applicable, the order of operations is optimised. Delayed evaluation and optimisation are achieved through template metaprogramming.

Armadillo is related to the Boost Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (uBLAS) library, which also uses template metaprogramming. However, Armadillo builds upon ATLAS and LAPACK libraries, thereby providing machine-dependent optimisations and functions not present in uBLAS.

It is open-source software distributed under the permissive Apache License, making it applicable for the development of both open source and proprietary software. The project is supported by the NICTA research centre in Australia.

An interface to the Python language is available through the PyArmadillo package,
which facilitates prototyping of algorithms in Python followed by relatively straightforward conversion to C++.

Armadillo is a core dependency of the mlpack machine learning library and the ensmallen C++ library for numerical optimization.

Example in C++ 11
Here is a trivial example demonstrating Armadillo functionality:

// Compile with:
// $ g++ -std=c++11 main.cpp -o file_name -O2 -larmadillo

#include <iostream>
#include <armadillo>
#include <cmath>

int main()
{
                                                //    ^
  // Position of a particle                     //    |
  arma::vec Pos = {{0},                         //    | (0,1)
                   {1}};                        //    +---x-->

  // Rotation matrix
  double phi = -3.1416/2;
  arma::mat RotM = {{+cos(phi), -sin(phi)},
                    {+sin(phi), +cos(phi)}};

  Pos.print("Current position of the particle:");
  std::cout << "Rotating the point " << phi*180/3.1416 << " deg" << std::endl;

  Pos = RotM*Pos;

  Pos.print("New position of the particle:");   //    ^
                                                //    x (1,0)
                                                //    |
                                                //    +------>

  return 0;
}

Example in C++ 98
Here is another trivial example in C++ 98:

#include <iostream>
#include <armadillo>

int main()
{
  arma::vec b;
  b << 2.0 << 5.0 << 2.0;

  // arma::endr represents the end of a row in a matrix
  arma::mat A;
  A << 1.0 << 2.0 << arma::endr
    << 2.0 << 3.0 << arma::endr
    << 1.0 << 3.0 << arma::endr;

  std::cout << "Least squares solution:\n";
  std::cout << arma::solve(A,b) << '\n';

  return 0;
}
