Beethoven's Big Break (formerly known as Beethoven: The Reel Story and sometimes referred to as Beethoven's 6th) is a 2008 American family film and is the sixth installment in the Beethoven series. It was released on DVD on December 30, 2008. The film could be considered a reboot of the series, as it completely disregards all storylines from the previous five films, though some scenes in this film include references to the original storyline.

Plot
Eddie, a struggling animal trainer and widowed father, is an assistant animal trainer to Sal DeMarco, an untalented, egocentric animal show host. Both men have been hired to train the animals for a film called Frizzy, The Bichon Frise: Sal as the dog handler, and Eddie is given only the responsibility of training the lizard. When Frizzy is kidnapped, Sal blames Eddie for being responsible for the dog handling. Eddie is promptly fired by the severe producer Patricia. The director Stanley and Patricia refuse to pay the ransom and they decide to instead hold auditions for the new Frizzy.

Meanwhile, Eddie's son, Billy, is walking around town when he discovers a large, stray dog is following him. Billy then brings the dog home and names him Beethoven when the dog shows interest in Ludwig van Beethoven's 5th symphony, after initially trying to call him Wolfgang. Eddie comes home to discover that, not only is his job gone, but now his house is wrecked by an oversized dog adopted by his son.

It transpires that the one responsible for Frizzy's disappearance is Sal, accompanied by his two other cronies Tick and Bones. He admonishes them for not waiting until Frizzy had already shot some of the film, in order to make her valuable.

The next day, when auditions are held, Stanley and Patricia have difficulties finding the right dog to replace Frizzy. Eddie has arrived (with Billy and Beethoven in-tow) to pick up his lizard, Pete. Suddenly, Beethoven bursts in and performs an impressive chase scene with Pete the Lizard, which instantly makes Stanley love him. Beethoven and Eddie are hired on the spot and Sal is fired by Stanley.

To celebrate, Eddie takes Billy and Beethoven out for hamburgers, but Beethoven escapes with the burgers and leads Eddie and Billy on a chase. Finally, they find where Beethoven was going: he had been caring for his three small pups in an alley, as their mother had apparently died. In Beethoven's 2nd, she was not heard from again. Eddie begrudgingly adopts the puppies, as well.

Eddie is then charged with having Beethoven perform the requested stunts in the film, but Beethoven proves to be "untrainable", and instead, often crashes through the scene and making a sloppy mess in the process. Each time, Eddie is prepared to be fired, but Stanley finds these scenes even funnier and orders the scenes printed for the film. Lisa, the film's writer, requests from Eddie to spend more time with Beethoven so that she can write more appropriately for him.

As revenge for being fired from the studio, Sal orders his henchmen to kidnap Beethoven for the million-dollar ransom, planning to kill him after the ransom is paid. They kidnap him while Billy is flirting with his crush Katie in the park. Eddie, Billy, Lisa and the puppies then head to Sal's show stage, which doubles as his secret lair, and rescue Beethoven. Sal and his goons are arrested, and Eddie and Lisa begin a relationship.

The film ends with Eddie, Lisa, Billy, Katie, Stanley, Patricia, Beethoven, the pups, and Pete the iguana, all enjoying pop corn while watching the film's premiere.

The end credits have film title parodies. These include "Dog-E", "When Hairy Met Frizzy" and "The Lizard of Oz". During the Gag Reel, Jonathan Silverman refers to Sal DeMarco as "Ned Ryerson". This is because the actor who played Sal, Stephen Tobolowsky, portrayed the character Ned Ryerson in the Bill Murray comedy, Groundhog Day.

Ashton railway station was a railway station serving the village of Ashton in Devon, England. It was located on the Teign Valley line.

History
The station was opened on 9 October 1882 as the northern terminus of the Teign Valley Railway when it opened from Heathfield junction on the Moretonhampstead and South Devon Railway. It became a through station when the line was extended to  in 1883.

The station had a timber platform and a raised causeway for access when the Teign flooded. An engine shed and signal box were located to the south of the station and the goods yard was equipped with a 2 ton crane.

The station was host to a GWR camp coach from 1934 to 1939. A camping coach was also positioned here by the Western Region in 1952.

The station closed on 9 June 1958.

The site today
The former station is now a private house. Part of the goods yard crane remains in an adjacent farmyard.

Gautam Swami was the Ganadhara (chief disciple) of Mahavira, the 24th and last Jain Tirthankara of present half cycle of time. He is also referred to as Indrabhuti Gautam, Guru Gautam, Gautam Swami Ganadhara and Gautam Swami.

Life
Gautama was the senior-most of 11 ganadharas (chief disciples) of Mahavira. He had two brothers Agnibhuti and Vayubhuti who also became ganadhara of Mahavira. Other ganadhara were Vyakta, Sudharmaswami, Mandikata Mauryaputra, Akampita, Acalabharata, Metarya and Prabhasa. A stone pillar of Utaroda mentions Mahagiri as one of Ganadharas of Mahavira who had Utara as his chief disciple.

In Jain traditional accounts, Gautama is believed to have gained Kevala Jnana (omniscience) immediately after the moksha (liberation) of Mahavira. He was succeeded by Sudharmaswami who is believed to have gained omniscience after a further 12 years.

According to the elaboration of Debate with the Ganadhara by Jinabhadra, the learned Brahmin Gautama summoned the gods to a great sacrifice but instead they flew off to hear Mahavira preaching at his second samavasarana near by. In fury, Gautama confronted Mahavira in debate, as did ten other brahmins in succession, with the fordmaker converting them all by a demonstration, underpinned by his claim to omniscience. According to Svetambara texts, Gautama had a meeting with Keśī (ganadhara of Parshvanatha). Svetambaras write Gautama's name in new account books as a sign of auspiciousness in the new year.

Gautama is connected with prosperity as he fed some monks using his magical powers. Gautama is mentioned in the Exposition of Explanations, as an interpreter of Mahavira. It is further mentioned that they have been friends in their previous incarnations and will attain moksha in the one which they are now.

Internal history of a language refers to the historical development of its linguistic forms (phonology, morphology, syntax, and lexicon) and semantics.  It is contrasted with "external history", which refers to the social and geopolitical history of the language.

The history of any language can be divided into external and internal history. The former aspect concerns the political and social developments in the community speaking the language while the latter involves the changes which take place over time within the language itself.

Before the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the Rezai family was one of the richest and most powerful families in Iran. The four brothers, Ali, Mahmood, Abbas and Ghassem used their savvy, and a small inheritance from their father who had died when Ghassem, the youngest of the brothers was only 40 days old, to build one of the biggest business empires in Iran if not the Middle East at the time. The businesses were largely based on "theaters, tobacco and mining". Ali Rezai, the oldest of the brothers, focused on a steel mill, while Mahmood developed mining interests—initially mining chromium in the Dasht-e Kavir, and using his success to develop the Sarcheshmeh copper mine. Their various business successes meant that by 1975 they employed over 8,000 people, and had an annual turnover of $300 million.

Politically, they had backed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and Ali Rezai became a senator in the Majlis of Iran in 1975.

As the monarchy fell in 1979, because of their vast fortune and ties to the Royal family, the Rezai's had to go into exile. Ali fled by air, and, by various means, all the family members "escaped to New York City, Houston, Los Angeles and Costa Rica" by 1980. Ghassem Rezai died in May 2014.

Hopper Field is a stadium located in Freeport, Texas on the campus of Brazosport High School at the east banks of the Brazos River.  It is currently home to the high school football teams of the Brazosport Independent School District (BISD), and seats 10,478.  It was named in honor of Brazosport High School coach Herbert Eugene Hopper who had served in that position since 1927. Hopper later became the athletic director of the school, and continued in that role before finally retiring in 1971. The stadium is also the site for BISD commencement ceremonies.

History
Hopper Field opened on September 16, 1949 with a game between Brazosport High School and St. Thomas High School of Houston.  During the first season of use, stadium lights were blown down due to high winds caused by the 1949 Texas hurricane, and night games were no longer possible until their repair.  Originally seating 6,400, Hopper Field's capacity was expanded to 8,662 in 1961.  In 2004, an artificial turf known as "Momentum Turf" by Sportexe was installed, among other renovations.

Katita Waldo (born Kathryn Cristine Waldo Grey; April 9, 1968) is a Spanish ballet dancer and ballet master. She joined the San Francisco Ballet in 1988, was promoted to principal dancer in 1994, and retired from performing in 2010, but remains in the company as a ballet master.

Early life and training
Kathryn Cristine Waldo Grey was born on April 9, 1968, in Madrid. At age five, after her parents took her to see Swan Lake, she was sent to dance classes at Escuela de Danza Classica. While she initially disliked dancing, her parents had already paid for a year, so she had to stay. However, by the end of the year, she found herself enjoying performing and continued her dance training.

In 1979, when Waldo was eleven, she and her family moved to Ithaca, New York, and she continued her training at Ithaca Ballet. She also attended public school between the ages of eleven and twelve, and later recalled she was "demoralized" there. Due to her experience in public school and the desire to have better dance training, she auditioned for the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, which accepted her when she was thirteen and provided a scholarship. Her parents had avoided sending her to the School of American Ballet after learning of hip injuries suffered by students there. However, in her first year at the school, she started developing a tendinitis in her hips, which worsened during the second year and forced her to drop out. She received therapy in New York, covered by an award she received, and returned to school eight months later. In 1984, she started studying at the Washington Ballet, then in 1986, she moved to San Francisco to train at the San Francisco Ballet School.

Career
In 1987, she became an apprentice with the San Francisco Ballet, directed by Helgi Tomasson. The following year, she joined the company as a member of the corps de ballet. She was promoted to soloist in 1990 and principal dancer in 1997. Her repertory include classical ballets, and works by August Bournonville, George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Lew Christensen, William Forsythe, Mark Morris, Christopher Wheeldon,  Wayne McGregor and Renato Zanella.

In 1999, after photographer Lucy Gray met Waldo and her infant son, Gray then asked Waldo to work on a long-term photography project about her experience as a dancer and mother, which her colleagues Tina LeBlanc and Kristin Long also participated. The project lasted fourteen years, and the photographs were published in the 2015 book Balancing Acts: Three Prima Ballerinas Becoming Mothers.

In 2002, Waldo and fellow San Francisco Ballet dancers Long, LeBlanc, Roman Rykine and Gennadi Nedvigin won the Isadora Duncan Dance Award for Ensemble Performance, for their performances in Forsythe's The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude. She won the award again the following year with Joanna Berman and Julie Diana for Robbins' Dances at a Gathering.

In 2004, 2006 and 2007, Waldo worked as ballet master and choreographer's assistant for Christopher Wheeldon and Yuri Posskhov at the Bolshoi Ballet, including for Possokhov's Magrittomania. Then, in the San Francisco Ballet New Works Festival in 2008, she served as choreographer's assistant to Wheeldon again, while also helping company artistic director Helgi Tomasson.

Waldo retired from performing in 2010, after a 22-year career, making her the last dancer hired or promoted by Tomasson in late 1980s to retire. While retiring dancers usually don't create roles in new ballets, Waldo was cast in Zanella's Underskin as dancer Vitor Luiz needed a partner. Therefore, Underskin became part of her farewell program. She remains in the San Francisco Ballet as a ballet master. In 2013, she briefly came out of retirement to perform in Wheeldon's Cinderella as the stepmother.

Personal life
In 1989, Waldo married Marshall Crutcher, a composer. Their son was born in 1999.

Joan Boada (born ) is a Cuban retired ballet dancer, teacher and ballet master. His career started at the Cuban National Ballet, where he was promoted to principal dancer at age 16. He defected to France in 1994, then performed with several companies and as a guest, before joining the San Francisco Ballet as a principal dancer in 1999. After he retired from performing in 2016, he worked as a guest teacher and répétiteur. In 2019, he joined the Spanish National Dance Company as ballet master and choreographic assistant. In 2021, he became the artistic director of both Conservatory Ballet and Kirov Academy of Ballet. In 2022, Boada became the associate director of Boston Ballet II.

Early life and training
Boada was born in Havana. He was sent to ballet classes at age nine by his mother, in order to keep him away from the streets. He trained at Cuban National Ballet School under Alicia Alonso.

Career
Boada was chosen to join the Cuban National Ballet by Alonso, who promoted him to principal dancer when he was 16. He was soon cast as Franz in her production of Coppélia, and had also dance with Alonso. In 1994, while the company was touring in Mexico City, Boada defected to France. Following his defection, he joined Jeune Ballet de France, a touring company. He also performed with Roland Petit's Ballet National de Marseille, the Royal Ballet of Flanders and the Australian Ballet, and as a guest artist. He later recalled that he had requested Alonso to let him dance at Jeune Ballet de France, but Alonso refused and said he would not learn anything abroad. Though he could return to Cuba via his French passport, he has not performed in his home country since he was 18.

In 1999, Boada joined the San Francisco Ballet, despite also receiving offers from Paris Opera Ballet and American Ballet Theatre. He had previously performed with the San Francisco Ballet in two galas and in Landar's Études. In early March 2003, it was announced that Boada would be one of four dancers whose contracts would not be renewed, due to budget deficit, though he was expected to continue to perform until the season's conclusion. However, by the end of the month, the decision to dismiss Boada was reversed. The following year, he and Lorena Feijóo won the Isadora Duncan Dance Award for Ensemble Performance, for their performances in Don Quixote.

His repertory in San Francisco include lead roles in full-length classics and works by George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Mark Morris, Helgi Tómasson, Christopher Wheeldon and Yuri Possokhov. His role creations include Wheeldon's Within the Golden Hour, Tómasson's 7 for Eight. and On a Theme of Paganini, Possokhov's Magrittomania, Fusion, and  Diving into the Lilacs.

In 2016, the 40-year-old Boada retired from the San Francisco Ballet, and stated he wanted to focus on being a ballet master and teacher. In April, a one-night-only program was held to celebrate him, Pascal Molat and Gennadi Nedvigin, two other retiring principal dancers. Though the program was initially reported to be his last performance with the company, he later appeared as Prince Gremin in Cranko's Onegin. In 2017, Boada was one of the Sustained Achievement Honorees at the Isadora Duncan Dance Awards.

After Boada retired from performing, he worked as a guest teacher at various schools, as well as répétiteur at the San Francisco Ballet and Boston Ballet. In 2019, he joined the Spanish National Dance Company as ballet master and choreographic assistant. After a two year stint, he returned to the United States in 2021 to serve as the artistic director of the Reston, Virginia-based Conservatory Ballet. In September that year, he was appointed the artistic director of the Kirov Academy of Ballet in Washington D.C., amid leadership changes and an embezzlement scandal. In November, Kirov announced to parents that it will close in May 2022 for financial reasons. In June 2022, Boada became the associate director of Boston Ballet II, Boston Ballet's second company.

She retired in 2009, then joined the faculty of the San Francisco Ballet School, before returning to the San Francisco Ballet as a ballet master in 2019.

Early life and training
Tina LeBlanc was born on October 17, 1966, at Erie, Pennsylvania. She has a brother and two sisters, including younger sister Sherri, who later danced with both the New York City Ballet and San Francisco Ballet. In 1967, she moved with her family to Smyrna, Delaware, where she started taking dance classes. In 1975, the family moved to Dillsburg, Pennsylvania, and she continued her ballet training at Marcia Dale Weary Dance School (now Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet). She decided to be a ballet dancer by age eleven, and started taking fifteen ballet classes a week at age twelve. She wanted to join the American Ballet Theatre due to its classical repertory. When she was fourteen, she attended summer programs at both the American Ballet Theatre and School of American Ballet. The following year, she auditioned for the American Ballet Theatre summer program again, but was rejected as artistic director Mikhail Baryshnikov was not considering recruiting short girls.

Career
After LeBlanc was rejected by the American Ballet Theatre, she performed in a regional festival in York, Pennsylvania, where she was spotted by Joffrey II, the second company of Joffrey Ballet. She joined Joffrey II in 1982, when she was fifteen. Seventeen months later, in 1984, she joined the Joffrey Ballet, directed by Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino. At the time, the company was based in New York but toured extensively, and she soon received nationwide attention and critical acclaim. Her repertoire there include Saint-Léon's La Vivandière, Balanchine's Tarantella and Cotillon, as Lise in Ashton's La fille mal gardée, as Juliet in Cranko's Romeo and Juliet, and works by Jiří Kylián. She later noted the company's repertory and working with Robert Joffrey "made me the dancer that I am." In 1988, she won her first Princess Grace Award.

In 1992, she joined the San Francisco Ballet, directed by Helgi Tómasson, as a principal dancer. Her reasons for leaving Joffrey Ballet include Robert Joffrey's death, artistic issue and her husband's desire to leave New York. Having seen the San Francisco Ballet perform in the New York City Center in 1991, she drove to San Francisco to audition for the company when Joffrey Ballet was touring in Los Angeles. She "felt lost" during her first year, and had to learn many ballets to see where she "would shine". She soon became more comfortable there, due to the company's coaching staff. She won her second Princess Grace Award in 1995. At the company, she danced full-length classics such as Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, Giselle, and works by George Balanchine, Agnes de Mille, Antony Tudor, Jerome Robbins, William Forsythe, Mark Morris, Helgi Tómasson, Christopher Wheeldon, Lar Lubovitch and Julia Adam. She was often paired with Gonzalo Garcia, fourteen years her junior.

Starting in 1999, LeBlanc took part in photographer Lucy Gray's long-term photography project alongside fellow San Francisco Ballet principal dancers Katita Waldo and Kristin Long, about their experiences as dancers and mothers. The project lasted fourteen years, and the photographs were published in the 2015 book Balancing Acts: Three Prima Ballerinas Becoming Mothers.

In 2000, she won the Isadora Duncan Dance Award for Individual Performance for her work that entire season with the San Francisco Ballet. The following year, she won the award for Ensemble Performance with colleagues, Waldo, Long, Roman Rykine and Gennadi Nedvigin, for their performances in Forsythe's The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude.

In 2007, LeBlanc tore her anterior cruciate ligament and underwent surgery. Though she planned to retire after the end of the 2008 season, she decided to complete rehab and retire in 2009, after spending 17 years at the company and when she was 42. In her final performance, she danced Balanchine's Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux and Theme and Variations, Lubovitch's My Funny Valentine and Tómasson's Sonata. Garcia, who had since joined the New York City Ballet, returned to dance Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux with her. Following her retirement from dance, she joined the San Francisco Ballet School faculty. In 2019, she left to return to the San Francisco Ballet as a ballet master.

Personal life
In 1986, LeBlanc met Marco Jerkunica. They married in 1988, and have two sons, born in 1997 and 2003. She noted she had always wanted to have children during her dance career, "because I want to have a long career, and I don't want to wait until I'm 40 to have kids."

This list of Nobel laureates affiliated with Washington University in St. Louis as alumni or faculty comprehensively shows alumni (graduates and attendees) or faculty members (professors of various ranks, researchers, and visiting lecturers or professors) affiliated with Washington University in St. Louis who were awarded the Nobel Prize or the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. People who have given public lectures, talks or non-curricular seminars; studied as non-degree students; received honorary degrees; or served as administrative staff at the university are excluded from the list. Summer school attendees and visitors are generally excluded from the list, since summer terms are not part of formal academic years; the same rule applies to the extension school.

The Nobel Prizes are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine. They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. Another prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributors to the field of economics. Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace. Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a cash prize that has varied throughout the years. In 1901, the winners of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK. The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.

As of 2022, there have been 26 laureates affiliated with Washington University in St. Louis. Washington University considers laureates who attended the university as undergraduate students, graduate students or were members of the faculty as affiliated laureates. Arthur Compton, the chancellor of the university from 1945 to 1953, was the first laureate affiliated with the university, winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927. Four Nobel Prizes were shared by Washington University laureates; Joseph Erlanger and Herbert Spencer Gasser won the 1944 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Carl Ferdinand Cori and wife Gerty Cori won the 1947 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, Arthur Kornberg and Severo Ochoa won the 1959 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and Daniel Nathans and George Davis Snell won the 1980 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Seventeen Washington University laureates have won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, more than any other category. With the exception of Daniel Nathans, who received his M.D. from Washington University and William E. Moerner who received his undergraduate degrees from the university, all Washington University laureates have been members of the university faculty. Also of note, co-discoverer of the neutrino Clyde Cowan, received master's and doctoral degrees from the university but died before the Nobel Prize was awarded for that work in 1995.

The Colm & Jim-Jim Breakfast Show was an Irish breakfast radio show, broadcast weekdays on RTÉ 2fm. The show, hosted by Colm Hayes and Jim-Jim Nugent, began broadcasting in March 2007 when the duo moved from rival station FM104.

The Colm & Jim-Jim Breakfast Show was on air from 6am to 9am, Mon-Fri, directly before 2fm's flagship show, The Gerry Ryan Show. It placed sixteenth in a survey of national radio listenership figures taken between June 2007 and June 2008, with 202,000 adult listeners. The show is in direct competition with The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show which airs on Today FM, and placed 12th in the same survey. Each Saturday morning a compilation of "best bits" from the previous week was broadcast between 9am and 10am. The Colm & Jim-Jim Breakfast Show was Ireland's third (3rd) most popular podcast in 2007, with 601,203 downloads. In 2008, The Colm & Jim-Jim Breakfast Show'''s listenership figures were reduced by 5,000 to 197,000.

Transfer from FM104

Change in listenership
The move from FM104 represented a change in listenership for Hayes and Nugent as 2fm broadcasts nationally whilst FM104 reaches only listeners in Dublin.

Naming rights
In initial promotional material, the new breakfast show was referred to as the 2fm Alarm Clock in reference to the duo's previous show The Strawberry Alarm Clock. However, when FM104 threatened legal action the name was dropped in favour of the current moniker.

Previous 2fm breakfast shows
The duo's new slot led to the axing of Orla Rapple's Early Show and replaced Marty in the Morning in the 2fm breakfast slot. Since Ryan Tubridy left The Full Irish and defected to RTÉ Radio 1, the station had struggled to replace him in a difficult period which also saw the short-lived The Rick & Ruth Breakfast Show axed after six months due to declining listenership figures. Prior to this difficulties arose when 2fm's breakfast host, Ian Dempsey moved to Today FM. He now presents a rival breakfast show with the commercial station.

The 2fm show

OverviewThe Colm & Jim-Jim Breakfast Show was launched with sponsors Halifax. In 2007, The Colm and Jim-Jim Breakfast Show added 100,000 new listeners to their breakfast show.  Whilst on 2fm the duo won an RTÉ Guide Award for "Favourite Radio Show", following the seven PPI Awards they earned whilst working on 104's Strawberry Alarm Clock for FM 104. Nugent spoke of the strictness that was rife at his now NEW workplace: "You know when we left 104 they wouldn't let us take our awards with us. I had to sneak in at six in the morning, take them out of the cabinet and put them all on a table together and take a picture of them and stick it on my blog. It was up there for ages before they realised we were leaving."  By September 2008, an additional 24,000 listeners had been added.

Controversies

Obama sniper assassination controversy
The pair were heavily criticised for mocking Barack Obama on 20 January 2009, including suggestions that the forty-fourth President of the United States would be shot by snipers during his inauguration ceremony. In the build-up to the inauguration they laughed and made jokes on air about the President-elect having to avoid snipers by doing the locomotion on stage. Describing how the transfer of power would take place in a matter of seconds, Hayes said:  Nugent quickly replied  but later proceeded to join in the joke as Hayes continued:  Nugent commented:  Hayes continued:  The two presenters laughed at this and Nugent claimed:  At that point they began to cheer and sing the locomotion, adding in the line "keep moving Obama". Finally Hayes referred to the removal of Obama's predecessor George W. Bush:

Mikey Graham incident
RTÉ was forced to air an apology at 9.30pm on 21 August 2009 for "allowing coarse and offensive language to be used" on The Colm & Jim-Jim Breakfast Show'' during a discussion about Boyzone singer Mikey Graham.
....

Regular features

Jim-Jim's Dad
"Jim's Dad" is a game in which Nugent's father gives a new cryptic clue each Monday. Listeners are invited to call the show and submit their guesses - three are granted to the listenership per day - and they will be deemed correct or false. If false Nugent's father will express his disapproval. The prize is a minimum of €50, a further sum of that amount is added each day. The first two clues were: "It's something I own, I'd say most families have one." The second clue was: "I keep mine in the house". The kitty is currently €1400.

Kids Go Crazy in the Car
At 8.25am, Hayes and Nugent phone a child who is usually in a car on their way to school. The child is asked to do something impossible to tell on radio, i.e. stand on their head.

One More Song Before I Get Up
"One More Song Before I Get Up" is one more song before the listeners arise from their nightly slumber. It generally occurs around 6.40am each day.

The Pop Quiz
"The Pop Quiz" is a best of three phone-in competition in which Hayes plays directly against a caller. Nugent plays three songs, during which after each both the title and artist must be correctly guessed by Hayes or the competitor. If they answer wrongly they are frozen out. a girl called Norah Hendrick was the last contestant to beat Jim Jim before he moved to 2FM

Roll Call
Each Monday Colm and Jim-Jim take a call with a class representative and grant said person 30 seconds to list off everyone on their class roll and say hello to their friends. They then win a Colm and Jim-Jim schoolbag.

Telly Bits

USS Oregonian (ID-1323) was a cargo ship that served in the United States Navy from 1918 to 1919.

Oregonian was built by the Delaware River Iron Shipbuilding and Engine Works in Chester, Pennsylvania and launched in 1901. At the time of her acquisition by the United States Government on 15 August 1918 she was operated by the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company.

Oregonian was assigned Id. No. 1323 and commissioned into the Naval Overseas Transportation Service (NOTS) on 17 August 1918 at Norfolk, Virginia. After refitting and arming, she took on general cargo, joined a convoy out of Norfolk on 22 August 1918, and arrived at Brest, France, on 11 September 1918. Steaming on to St. Nazaire, France, she discharged her cargo and sailed from Le Verdon-sur-Mer, France, in convoy on 30 September 1918, arriving at New York City on 16 October 1918.

Oregonian subsequently made two more Atlantic crossings. The first was to La Pallice, Bordeaux, and Le Verdon-sur-Mer, France, returning to New York on 13 December 1918, and the second to the Mediterranean in January 1919. Following delivery of her cargo at Trieste, she returned to New York, arriving on 26 March 1919.

Ordered demobilized and returned to her owners, she decommissioned on 15 April 1919 at Brooklyn, New York.

The Harimaya Bridge is a 2009 film written and directed by American filmmaker Aaron Woolfolk. It was filmed in Kōchi Prefecture, Japan and San Francisco, California, U.S.A. The film had a nationwide theatrical release in Japan in 2009 and an independent theatrical release in the United States in 2010. The film was released on DVD in Japan at the end of 2009 and was released on DVD and video-on-demand by Funimation in the United States in 2011.

The title references the Harimaya bridge in Kochi city, which is connected to a well-known Japanese story about forbidden love.

The film is produced by Ko Mori and Aaron Woolfolk. Executive producers are Danny Glover, Naoshi Yoda, and John Kim. Co-producers are Muneyuki Kii and Tatsuya Kimura. Associate producers are James Lane and Lee Rudnicki.

The film's theme song, "Shūten: Kimi no Ude no Naka", was sung by Japanese singer Misono, who released the song as her 13th single.

Plot
The story concerns an American man who must travel to rural Japan after his estranged son dies there in a traffic accident. While there, he discovers some secrets his son left behind. The Harimaya Bridge is a film about racism and forgiveness. The main character lost his son and he had to go to Japan to retrieve some of his sons paintings. The father (main character) had a very strong dislike for the Japanese people. He was very rude towards them in the beginning. He disrespected their culture as well on several occasions. One time he ignored the Japanese people when they told him to take off his shoes when he entered the home he was staying them. It took them a few minutes to get him to respect their wish and take off his shoes.

While the father was in Japan he found out many things he never knew about his son. For one, his son was married to a Japanese woman and they had a child together. The father and his son clearly did not share a strong, loving and respectful relationship. In one scene, The two got in a fight and the father kicked the son out of the home. This was the last straw for the son and may have caused him to move to Japan and keep his life under wraps from his father. Towards the end of the film the father experienced some things that made him confront his hatred and disrespectfulness towards the Japanese. His first encounter with his granddaughter is what made him change.

Maybe This Christmas Too? is a holiday compilation album released in October 2003 through Nettwerk Records featuring contemporary musicians performing both classic and original Christmas songs. The compilation served as a sequel to Maybe This Christmas (2002) and preceded Maybe This Christmas Tree (2004). A portion of the proceeds from the album went to Toys for Tots, a charity supported by the United States Marine Corps. Critical reception of the compilation, which failed to chart in any nation, was mixed.

Background and composition
Maybe This Christmas Too? is a sequel to the 2002 compilation album Maybe This Christmas, which reached a peak position of number thirty-eight on Billboard Top Holiday Albums chart. Maybe This Christmas Tree, released in 2004, was the third installment of the series. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of the three albums went to Toys for Tots, a charity supported by the United States Marine Corps. Maybe This Christmas Too? features fourteen tracks recorded by various artists, most of whom were associated with the Nettwerk record label during its release. Ten of the tracks were recorded specifically for this compilation album. Darin Harmon served as the album's executive producer and Ianthe Zevos served as the project manager. Mastering of the compilation was donated by Louie Teran. In August 2003, MTV reported on the possible inclusions of the Used's "Alone This Holiday", the Flaming Lips' "Winter Wonderland" and the Polyphonic Spree's "Winter Wonderslumber", none of which ended up on the final release.

The album opens with Rufus Wainwright's "Spotlight on Christmas", an acoustic-based, original track recorded exclusively for this set. "Spotlight on Christmas" was written and produced by Wainwright; among other guests, the song features Teddy Thompson and Martha Wainwright on backing vocals and bells as well as Thompson on electric guitar. "The Winter Song" was written, arranged, and produced by members of Eisley. "O Holy Night", based on a poem by Placide Cappeau, was composed by Adolphe Adam and translated by John Sullivan Dwight. The song is performed by Avril Lavigne and Chantal Kreviazuk. Kreviazuk also produced the track. "Silent Night", performed by Lisa Hannigan, was originally recorded by Damien Rice for his 2002 studio album O. The song is less than two minutes in length and features original lyrics.

The band Rilo Kiley contributed "Xmas Cake", a song originally written by group members Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett. The track was produced and mixed by Mike Mogis and features "jazzy guitar chords and a piano-led wintery feel" to address poverty and conflict. "" (Spanish for "Where Is Santa Claus?") is performed by the band Guster and was produced, recorded, and mixed by Peter Katis. The track contains castanets, "bouncing" rhythm, and "silky" backing vocals. "Rudy", a song about "Rudolf the red-nosed wino", was originally written by Danny Dolinger; the version appearing on the compilation album was arranged and performed by The Be Good Tanyas. Instrumentation included: guitar, mandolin, organ, piano, percussion, and twelve-string guitar. "Christmas Song" was written by Dave Matthews and performed by the Dave Matthews Band. The "organ-tinged, gospel rendition" of "Go Tell It on the Mountain", originally written by John Wesley Work Jr. with traditional music, was arranged and given additional lyrics by Suzie Ungerleider (also known as Oh Susanna).

The Barenaked Ladies' "Green Christmas", a song credited to Steven Page and Ed Robertson, about experiencing Christmas in a location where snow never falls, was recorded originally for the soundtrack to the 2000 film How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The acoustic studio version that appeared on Maybe This Christmas Too? differed from the soundtrack version as well as a third version appearing on the band's 2004 studio album Barenaked for the Holidays. Martina Sorbara performs a "vampish, bluesy" rendition of Edward Pola and George Wyle's "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year". The track was produced and recorded by David Matheson. "Donna & Blitzen" was written and performed by Badly Drawn Boy and features "bouncy vintage rock piano". Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" is performed by the Flaming Lips. Sixpence None the Richer performs "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear", the album's final track. The song contains music by Richard Storrs Willis and lyrics by Edmund Hamilton. The version was arranged by Matt Slocum, produced by Sam Ashworth and Taylor Harris, and engineered and mixed by Harris. Leigh Nash performs vocals, Slocum features on guitar, pedal steel and Wurlitzer, Rob Mitchell plays drums, and Justin Cary plays bass. Ashworth also contributed on EBow guitar and percussion, and Harris on percussion and programming.

Reception

Allmusic's MacKenzie Wilson wrote that Maybe This Christmas Too? would appeal to "both casual and die-hard music fans of all ages". Wilson called Wainwright's performance "classic chamber pop with a warm spirit" and also noted the "fetching" graphic design work for the album's cover art by Brian "Goatpillow" Brooks of Cosmic Debris. Andrew Gilstrap's review for PopMatters also complimented "Spotlight on Christmas", calling the song a "clever piece of class-conscious commentary" that provides a "perfect example of [Wainwright's] meticulous toyshop brand of pop." Simmy Richman of The Independent considered the Flaming Lips' rendition of "White Christmas" to be the "strangest" he had ever heard. Gilstrap used the same adjective ("strange") to describe "O Holy Night", and thought "Silent Night" was "incredibly potent" despite its short length. The New York Times Kelefa Sanneh called "White Christmas" "spooky" and wrote that the album "brings to the world something more ambivalent than joy". Gilbert concluded that Maybe This Christmas Too? "feels just about right" and "does a fine job of representing the less than stellar aspects of a wintry, commercialized holiday like Christmas." In 2008 The A.V. Club included "Spotlight on Christmas" as number thirty-nine on its list of "42 holiday entertainments that don't make us want to claw our eyes out with rage".

Carls began teaching at Union University in 1983, and before that, taught at Sterling College in Sterling, Kansas for twelve years.  He is a specialist of modern France, the First World War, and Europe between the two world wars.

A member of Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society since 1970, Carls has been the advisor to Union University’s Delta-Psi chapter since 1983. Nationally, he has served the society as a council member (2006-2008), advisory board member (2008-2012), vice president (2012-2014), president (2014-2016), and chair of the advisory board (2016-2018). Phi Alpha Theta’s national office has given service awards to Carls twice (2010 and 2014) for his dedication to the organization. At its biennial convention in San Antonio in January 2020, the society named Carls an honorary dean of Phi Alpha Theta.

Carls is a member of the American Historical Association, Southern Historical Association, Society for French Historical Studies, and West Tennessee Historical Society. From 1996 to 2008, he served as the faculty advisor to the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity at Union University.

Biographical information

Carls was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1944 to Ernest and Eleanor Carls. He is married to Alice-Catherine Maire. They have three children: Philip, Elizabeth, and Paul.

Scholarship
Carls wrote the preeminent book on the life of Louis Loucheur. Stephen Schuker of the University of Virginia called it “a superb biography of one of the most fascinating and forward-looking leaders of the Third Republic.” “[Carls] offers a highly original and important contribution to the study of modernization in twentieth-century France.” In this book called Louis Loucheur and the Shaping of Modern France, 1916-1931, Carls proposes that Loucheur, a World War I weapons manufacturer who turned to politics, was a first-generation technocrat and a major player in France’s postwar industrialization and modernization.  An expanded version of the book was published in France under the title Louis Loucheur: Ingénieur, homme d’état, modernisateur de la France, 1872-1931.  Carls has also coauthored with his wife a textbook titled Europe from War to War, 1914-1945, that Routledge released in 2017. A French translation of the book titled L'Europe d'une guerre à l'autre: 1914-1945 was published in 2020 by the Presses universitaires du Septentrion.

Thomas Sloan (born 10 July 1959) is a Northern Irish ex-footballer who played as a midfielder in both Northern Ireland and England in the late 1970s, the 1980s and even the early 1990s.

Born in Ballymena, County Antrim, Sloan began his football career with his local club, Ballymena United. In 1978, he was part of the Ballymena United team that reached the final of the Irish Cup only to lose to Linfield. His role as a key player in that team earned him a selection for the Northern Irish under-21 team for a match against the Republic of Ireland.

That summer, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were locked in a battle for Sloan's signature, but it was United who eventually won out, paying Ballymena United £20,000 for the transfer. Sloan's influence in the heart of the United midfield was not sufficient for him to earn a regular place in the team, but his four appearances in his first season at Old Trafford were enough to attract a call from the Northern Irish senior team at the end of the season. In the space of 15 days, Sloan won his only three caps; two came in the 1979 British Home Championship, against Scotland and Wales, while the other was a UEFA Euro 1980 qualifying match against Denmark.

Sloan's involvement with the Manchester United first team gradually decreased over the next three seasons – he made just eight appearances in total in 1979–80 and 1980–81, and none at all in 1981–82 – and he was released to Chester in July 1982. At Chester, Sloan found his niche, making nearly 50 appearances in the one season he spent there before he returned to Northern Ireland to play for Linfield.

After a three-year stint with Linfield, he was transferred to Carrick Rangers f.c. and then moved on to Coleraine for a further season before moving to his last Irish league club Larne.f.c. He then got reinstated as an amateur and  began to play for Raglan Homers in the Ballymena Sunday Morning League which by the way was his first club.

Rev. Thomas Levett (baptised 25 February 1770 – 9 October 1843) served as rector of Whittington, Staffordshire, for 40 years, and as a large landowner in addition to being a clergyman, played a role in the development of Staffordshire's educational system. He was also a member of one of Staffordshire's longest-serving families in ecclesiastical circles, having produced three rectors of the parish of Whittington. The Levett family also produced members of parliament, High Sheriffs of Staffordshire, Lichfield town recorders and businessmen who were friends and contemporaries of Samuel Johnson, Erasmus Darwin, writer Anna Seward, actor David Garrick and other local luminaries. Several streets in Lichfield are named for the family.

Biography
Rev. Thomas Levett was the son of Thomas Levett of Packington Hall and nephew of John Levett, Member of Parliament; and the grandson of Theophilus Levett, Lichfield town clerk in the early eighteenth century. He matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford in 1788, graduating B.A. in 1792.

Large landowners, the Levett family also made liberal endowments to the church at Whittington. Rev. Levett lived in Packington Hall, a Levett family property that had been acquired in the eighteenth century. The same Levett family also lived at Wychnor Hall at nearby Wychnor, Staffordshire. The family also owned the ancient woods at Hopwas, Staffordshire, a holding inherited by Rev. Thomas Levett.

Career

Levett was early interested in education in the region in which his ancestors had lived for more than a century. He was among family members managing a family bequest to the local schools.
Rev. Richard Levett served as Whittington's vicar from 1743 to 1751. His son, also Rev. Richard Levett, served as vicar of Whittington from 1795 to 1796; and Rev. Thomas Levett served for forty years, from 1796 to 1836. There are memorials to the Levett family in St. Giles Church in the village, located about three miles (5 km) from Lichfield. Large landowners, the family also established charitable gifts towards the Whittington Free School, and were generous donors to schools and other foundations in the county.

Thomas Levett was also a well-known sportsman, and frequently hunted with family friend British general and royal aide William Dyott, whose family lived at nearby Freeford Hall. The artist James Ward, a longtime family friend, painted the rector as he hunted at Packington in a canvas called Portrait of the Rev. Thomas Levett and Favourite Dogs, Cock-Shooting, 1811.

Thomas Levett was married to Wilmot Maria Gresley, daughter of Sir Nigel Bowyer Gresley, 7th Baronet of Drakelowe Hall, High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1780, of the Gresley Baronets, a family seated at their Drakelow Derbyshire manor since the end of the eleventh century. Following his marriage, Rev. Levett quartered the arms of Levett with those of his wife's family. She died 17 December 1845. Memorials to Wilmot Maria Gresley and her husband Rev. Levett are in St. Giles Church in Whittington. The couple had no children.

Packington Hall, designed by architect James Wyatt, sat in  of parkland owned by Thomas Levett. Situated just over three miles (5 km) from Lichfield, where the first Staffordshire Levett had served as town clerk in the early eighteenth century, Packington Hall home was the residence of successive generations of Levetts. The home was remarkable for its avenues of old oaks and elms.

Another distant branch of the Sussex Levett family lives at Milford Hall in the same county. The two branches of the family were reunited when in the late nineteenth century a Wychnor Levett married a Milford Hall Levett.

Architect of record is the architect or architecture firm whose name appears on a building permit issued for a specific project on which that architect or firm performed services. Building permits are issued by a government agency with the authority in a certain jurisdiction to regulate building construction and enforce building codes. Generally, the building contractor submits the application for the permit to the regulatory authority,  along with a building project's drawings and specifications (called collectively "construction documents"). But in some jurisdictions, the architect is required to submit the construction documents needed to obtain the building permit. And with some construction projects, more than one building permit is issued. That occurs when several different architects perform services on discrete parts of a single building project. More than one architect of record, therefore, would exist in such a case.

When an architecture firm is working on a project that is outside of their geographic location or range of expertise, it will often choose to work with an architect that is either local to the project site or skilled in that particular area of expertise. In this case, the primary architect works with the local architect in order to complete the project, and the local architect becomes the "architect of record." This type of working relationship is common when high-profile architects (or "starchitects") win design bids but find themselves in need of architects with more practical skills or knowledge of local conditions. Or more pragmatically, the high-profile architect simply needs an architect who is local to the project site, facilitating quicker site visits and project oversight.

The local architecture firms that are responsible for corresponding with city agencies about code compliance, tender documents, client communication and creating up to 90 percent of the construction documents and carry out construction inspections are similar, but should be referred as the "executive architect."

(French for 'Labour Sports Federation of Alsace and Lorraine', abbreviated FSTAL) was a labour sports federation in Alsace-Lorraine during the interbellum period. FSTAL was organized separately from the French Fédération sportive du Travail (FST). During the spring of 1923, FSTAL had 11542 members whilst FST had a total membership of about 5000. FSTAL published Le Sport Ouvrier ('Workers Sport').<ref name="rote">Gounot, André. Die Rote Sportinternationale, 1921-1937: kommunistische Massenpolitik im europäischen Arbeitersport'''. Schriften zur Körperkultur, Bd. 38. Münster: Lit, 2002. p. 55-57</ref>

As of 1923 communists had gained the majority in FSTAL, and the organization became affiliated with the Red Sport International (Sportintern). Its organs began to violently denounce the reformist Socialist Workers' Sport International (also known as the 'Lucerne Sport International').

Sectors dissatisfied with the communist turn inside FSTAL gradually left the organization. In December 1926, socialists founded the Fédération sportive et gymnastique du Travail d'Alsace et de Lorraine'' (FSGTAL) in order to counter the influence of FSTAL. However, in 1929 FSTAL obtained (in spote of its public criticisms against the body) membership in the Lucerne Sport International.

As of 1931, FSTAL had a membership estimated at around 10 000, double the size of the socialist FSGTAL. Its membership was at the time comparable to the FST.

In February 1935, FSTAL and FSGTAL merged into FSGT.
