The Wheat Chiefs were a Canadian melodic rock band with punk rock influence formed in 1990 in Edmonton, and later relocated to Vancouver. The group featured several members of SNFU and one from Jr. Gone Wild.  They released their only album, Redeemer, in 1996, before disbanding two years later.

History

Early years (1990–1992)
Late in 1989, guitarists and twin brothers Marc and Brent Belke disbanded their influential skate punk band SNFU due to a growing rift with singer Ken Chinn and their desire to experiment with playing different kinds of music. Several months later, the brothers formed the new band The Ship of Fools with SNFU bassist Curtis Creager and longtime acquaintance Dave Rees playing drums. With Marc Belke acting as lead vocalist, the band departed from the punk sound of SNFU by playing melodic alternative rock. After their initial string of performances, they renamed themselves the Wheat Chiefs. The members later remembered the early Wheat Chiefs songs as "kinda lengthy."

Bassist Trent Buhler, a former member of Rees's group Broken Smiles, replaced Creager early in 1990. The group recorded a demo cassette to pitch to record industry representatives and embarked on several Canadian tours. Their track "Redeem" was included on Thrasher Skate Rock Volume 10, issued by Thrasher magazine in 1991. The Belkes reformed SNFU in September 1991, while Rees and Buhler departed the Wheat Chiefs early in 1992 to form the new band Cowboy Dick.

New lineup (1992–1996)
Despite the reformation of SNFU, the Belkes kept the Wheat Chiefs active. Drummer Ed Dobek (of Jr. Gone Wild and the pre-SNFU band Live Sex Shows) and bassist Rob Johnson (a former Wheat Chiefs roadie and future SNFU member) completed the new lineup. This incarnation debuted with a short tour, and recorded several new tracks with producers Marek Forysinski and Dave Ogilvie. Brent Belke later remembered the new Wheat Chiefs material as "quicker and more straight ahead; it was great."

The band was active sporadically in the time that followed, with a major run of touring coming in 1993. Later this year, the band recorded the track "Joe Murphy" (named for the professional ice hockey player of the same name) with Ogilvie and returning guest drummer Rees, now a member of SNFU. The track was included on the Puck Rock Volume 1 compilation, a full disc of hockey-related punk rock songs assembled by John Wright of The Hanson Brothers and NoMeansNo. The Wheat Chiefs received a seven-figure recording contract offer from Mercury Records, but rejected this in anticipation of a better deal, which they never received. Early in 1994, the group re-recorded two songs from their demo cassette, again with Rees returning as a guest. Now signed to Epitaph Records, SNFU remained heavily active over the next two years while Wheat Chiefs activity lessened.

Redeemer and breakup (1996–1998)
After spending two years focusing mainly on SNFU, Johnson and the Belkes returned to full-time Wheat Chiefs rehearsals early in 1996. Culled from three recording sessions held in 1992 and 1994, the Redeemer album was released later this year through BangOn Records, a subsidiary of the Canadian Cargo Records imprint. They promoted the album with tours of Canada and the United States, the largest in the band's career.

In 1997, drummer Dan Moyse replaced Dobek. The Wheat Chiefs continued to perform sporadically, but the members' careers were dealt a blow late that year when SNFU's contract with Epitaph expired. The Wheat Chiefs ultimately disbanded following Brent Belke's decision to quit both bands and pursue work in music composition for film and television. They played a final gig on March 28, 1998, at a festival in Edmonton.

Nikolaos "Nikos" A. Nissiotis (alternate spelling: Nisiotis) (Greek: Νικόλαος "Νίκος" A. Νησιώτης; 21 May 1924 – 18 August 1986) was a Greek theologian, philosopher, university professor, and basketball coach.

Basketball coaching career
Nissiotis is largely credited with developing the sport of basketball in Greece. He was the head coach of the Greek League club Panellinios Athens, during its famous "Golden Five", or "Fabulous Five" era, during the 1950s decade. With Panellinios, he won 3 Greek League championships, in the years 1953, 1955, and 1957. He also won two European-wide International Club Tournament Championships with the club, as he won the 1955 Brussels Basketball Tournament and the 1956 San Remo Basketball Tournament. While he was also a runner-up at the 1954 San Remo Tournament. The long-time Yugoslav national team head coach Aca Nikolić saw the team systems of Panellinios during those European International Club Tournaments, and he based what would eventually become known as the "Yugoslav basketball school" and later the "Serbian Basketball School" on them.

Nissiotis also coached the senior men's Greek national team. He led Greece to a bronze medal at the 1955 Mediterranean Games. He received the Olympic Order in 1986. He is a candidate to be inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame as well.

Greek International Olympic Committee
Nissiotis was the Vice-President of the Greek Olympic Committee, from 1975 until 1986, and the President of the Board of the International Olympic Academy, from 1977 to 1986. He was also a Permanent Representative of Greece to the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

A significant theological quote
‘The Orthodox have no social system, no definite Christian theory of social relations, no theological doctrine of work and profession, or sexual morality, no definite position on birth control, no guiding principle on industrialization, nor theological judgment on modern secularization. The role of the Church is not to propose norms which would be applicable everywhere and which would give rise to a single form of civilization or technical culture.’
Nikos Nissiotis, Orthodox theologian, "L'Église et la société dans la théologie orthodoxe grecque"

Personal life and death
Nissiotis was born on 21 May 1924, in Athens, Greece. On 18 August 1986, Nissiotis was killed in a car crash, at the age of 62. The crash occurred at the 41 kilometre (25 mile) mark of the Athens to Corinth National Road.

Two years after the end of the Estonian War of Independence (1918-1920), the Estonian Army consisted of 3 field divisions and a number of small independent battalions and companies (1922).

The Republic of Estonia consisted of 47,750 km2 of territory, with a population of 1,107,000 inhabitants. The armed forces was made up of 18,000 men. In the opinion of the Lithuanian armed forces General Staff, the army was large enough to defend The Republic of Estonia. Estonia's geographical position was well-suited for military purposes - two large lakes were useful natural obstacles. Conscripts served for was 18 months in the infantry, 24 months in other parts of the army, and 36 months in the Navy. Estonian military also had 105,000 in reserve force which would have been mobilized if a war would have started.

Infantry Organization

The army had 12 line battalions. Every battalion consisted of:

 3 line (infantry) companies of 3 platoons of 2 squads
 Machine gun company
 Technical company
 Cavalry platoon for recognition
The infantry was using Russian and English made rifles. The accoutrements and ammunition of their weapons were American made. Two battalions make a regiment in peacetime. After the mobilization, every battalion become regiment.

Comparison of companies

Artillery

There were 3 regiments of light artillery, one for each infantry division. In addition, there were 2 groups of heavy artillery in separate units. Artillery regiments were composed of 4 batteries. Single battery consisted of 4 guns.  Most were 3 inch Russian guns. There were also English, French and German guns.

Cavalry

 Hussars regiment:
 2 line squadrons
 Mg's squadrons

The Estonian military included two regular Hussar cavalry regiments, as well as six cavalry squadrons that could be called up as part of the reserve army.

Two Estonian cavalry regiments participated in the Estonian War of Independence, along with smaller cavalry formations; every infantry regiment had one reconnaissance cavalry attachment. By the end of the war, another cavalry regiment, the Cavalry Reserve Regiment, was formed in Tallinn, and functioned as a cavalry school for soldiers and officers. The Estonian 2nd Cavalry Regiment was dissolved in 1920.

Despite several attempts by the Estonian Defence Forces to modernize its cavalry, the units could not keep up with the technological advances of the 1930s and the rapid development of armoured warfare. While already declining before World War II, the remaining Estonian cavalry regiments were abolished and attached to the Soviet 22nd Rifle Corps on 10 September 1940.

There have been no cavalry units in the modern Estonian Ground Forces since Estonian independence in 1991.

Technical Formations

Armoured brigade
3 armoured trains (with light artillery guns and machine guns)
1 armoured train (narrow gauge)

Kanjli Wetland is a man-made Wetland that subsumes the Kanjli Lake, and is located in the Kapurthala district of Punjab state in India. It was created in 1870 by constructing the headworks across the perennial Bien River, a tributary of the Beas River to provide irrigation facilities to the hinterland. The rich biodiversity of the wetland comprising aquatic, mesophytic and terrestrial flora and fauna including some important species of plants and animals was recognized internationally by the Ramsar Convention in 2002 by designating the Kanjli Lake in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. In this context, it is reported that the Punjab State which has 14 wetlands covering an area of 225.76 km2 (2% of the geographical area of the State) has the unique position of three of its wetlands viz., the Kanjli Wetland covering an area of 490 ha of which the Kanjli Lake water spread is 184 ha), the Harike Wetland (4100 ha) and the Ropar Wetland (1365 ha) chosen by the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoE&F), Government of India for their conservation and management are now also included in the Ramsar list covering a total area of 5650 ha; Kanjli is upstream of Harike wetland located in the Beas river basin while the Ropar wetland is in the Roopnagar district.

Wetland

The Kanjli Wetland is one of the manmade wetlands in India identified by the Government of India, as per the Expert Group's (set up in 1983 by the Ministry of Environment and Forests) report published in 1990. Since the main article on Wetland does not cover the aspects of Indian wetlands, the work done in this regard in India is explained. The Expert Group has based its directory on the basis of the definition enunciated by the Ramsar International Convention on Wetlands:

" areas of marsh, fen, peatland, or water whether natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of which at low tide does not exceed six metres".

Further, considering the definition of wetlands given by Cowden in 1979 for classification of wetlands in the US, three key attributes of hydrology (the degree of flooding or soil saturation), wetland vegetation (hydrophytes) and hydric soils have also been considered for identification. In this list, mangroves are not included since it falls under a separate category.

The Expert Group's directory has made a distinction between Natural and Man-Made wetlands (including wetlands of less than 100 ha area). In India, in its 24 states and two union territories (as per the 1990 report), there are 2167 nos of natural wetlands with a total area of 1.45 million ha and Man-Made wetlands of 65,254 nos with total area of 2.59 million ha. The inland water bodies listed in the report covers lakes, tanks, reservoirs etc.

Royal patronage
The erstwhile Maharaja of Kapurthala (Raja Randhir Singh - 1862 to 1870), built the headworks on the river Kali Bein which resulted in the creation of the Kanjli Wetland which subsumes the sparkling lake by the same name. The Maharaja also built a retreat, in the French architectural style, in the forest set in lovely natural scenery, on the banks of the Lake, which was named "The Villa" or the "Villa Buona Vista". His royal successors live in this retreat even now.
The lake has been developed as a tourist destination with facilities for fishing and boating. A traditional Mela or exhibition is held here during Depavali festival.

Access

The Kanjli ecological Wetland region around the village Kanjli is  from the Kapurthala town, also the district headquarters, and is thus well connected by road network to all parts of the state and rest of the country.

Hydrology
The Kali Bein River, originating near village Dhanoa, upstream of Budho Bark Regulator in Hoshiarpur District, formerly a main tributary of the Beas River feeds the Wetland and the Lake. The Bien has now become an independent river due to siltation and westward swing of the Beas River. Agricultural development dominates the catchment of the wetland. The Bien river has contributed to the formation of fertile plains by bringing down large sediment loads during floods. Depth of water in the Lake has a seasonal variation of 3.05 m (10 feet) to 7.62 m (25 feet) depending on the season and inflow discharge. Catchment area is mainly under agriculture. The wetland is in the semi-arid zone and receives an average annual rainfall of about 620 mm. The temperature varies from a maximum of 450 C in summer to an average of 60C during winter with occasionally freezing temperatures.

The Kali Bein and its wetland provide water supply for agriculture in the Kapurthala district, recharges the ground water, drains excessive rainwater from sensitive crops like wheat, potato, etc. and acts as a sponge by absorbing the flood waters.

Water quality
The water and sludge quality of the Wetland has been studied by the Punjab Pollution Control Board Their report indicates that quality generally conforms to Class 'B' with some degree of quality degradation to Class 'D' sometimes during December.

From a satellite imagery study of the wetland it has been inferred that Kanjli Lake could be categorised under low turbidity class (dark blue hue) during pre-monsoon period and moderate turbidity class (medium blue) during post monsoon season which is indicative of regimentation occurring in the lake during post monsoon season.

Flora and fauna
The flora and fauna recorded in the Wetland and the Kanjli Lake within it (Some of them are pictured in the gallery) are the following.

Flora
 Twelve varieties of trees recorded in the wetland are   Acacia arabica, Albizia lebbeck, Azadirachta indica, Dalbergia sissoo, Eucalyptus hybrid, Ficus bengalensis, Mangifera indica, Melia azedarach, Morus alba, Prosopis juliflora, Syzygium cumini and Ziziphus mauritiana.
 Shrubs recorded are: Calotropis procera, Ipomoea crassicaulis and Tamarix dioca
 Herbs noted are Saccharum spontaneum, Tripidium bengalense (synonym Saccharum munja), Scirpus sp. and other common herbs.

Aqua flora
11 species of aquaflora, 34 species of zooplankton and 15 species of macro invertebrates have been reported.

Aqua fauna
According to the District Gazetteer and the study done by the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), 17 fish species (in Bein river and the lake) have been reported which includes the common fish species of Catla catla, Channa marulius (great snakehead), Cythus striatus, Cirrhinus mrigala, Labeo calbasu and Labeo rohita.

The tortoise is the common reptile reported in the area.

AviFauna

Over 40 resident bird species and 16 migratory species have been reported from the area. The migratory birds include various species of goose, white-eyed pochard, wigeon, Tufted Duck, common teal, large whistling teal, pintail, mallard, White Wagtail, Citrine Wagtail, Red-breasted Flycatcher, Black-winged Stilt, Common Chiffchaff, and shoveller.

Resident bird species include Gray Francolin, Indian Spot-billed Duck, Alexandrine Parakeet, Indian Thick-knee, White-browed Wagtail, Gray-throated Martin, and Red-naped Ibis.

Fauna
The mammals in the wetland are the Indian civet, mongoose, Indian porcupine, squirrel and common Indian Hare.

Problems in the wetland
In the Wetland, the ecological status of the Kanjli lake, in particular, has been threatened on account of the following issues.
In the Wetland, the ecological status of the Kanjli lake, in particular, has been threatened on account of the following issues
 Extensive growth of water hyacinth due to nutrients and pesticides from adjoining agricultural fields
 Anthropogenic pressure and consequent land encroachment
 Eutrophication, particularly due to in-situ decay of hyacinth
 Conversion of wetland for agriculture, human habitation, industrial expansion, and recreational activities
 Illegal and indiscriminate fishing causing disturbance to birdlife

Conservation measures
The conservation and management measures undertaken with assistance provided by the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Govt. of India (MoEF, GOI) by the Environment Division of the Punjab State Council for Science & Technology under the directive of the State Level Steering Committee are the following.
 Detailed mapping of the wetland for declaring and notifying the Kanjli Wetland as protected area under the Environment Protection Act, 1986.
 Judicious hyacinth (weed) control by the irrigation department, district police, and even army units, by manual methods. Conveyor belt system as a mechanical method to clear the weeds is also being tried.
 Hyacinth control through biological control by releasing two weevil species (which have proved been found effective worldwide and introduced in the downstream in the Harike Wetland Ecosystem) of Neochetina bruchi and N. eichorniae. Release of the moth Sameodes albiguittal is also being considered as an option.
 Introduction of more fish species in the lake judiciously to avoid any adverse effects of exotic species.
 Afforestation measures around the lake area and in the small islands, with mixed indigenous species of trees to prevent soil erosion resulting in siltation reduction in the lake, to attract large species of birds to nest and roost and to enhance the ecosystem.
 Selective Fencing of the Wetland to prevent excessive grazing to preservation of important pockets provide habitat for wading birds and to check encroachments
 Monitoring of water quality continuously to check the degree of external nutrient loading of the lake waters and to evolve appropriate preventive and curative steps
 Public awareness campaigns through mass-media, educational material, camps, etc. of the wetland ecosystem with the help of Voluntary Organizations
 Continued scientific research on Biological and hydrological components, and Productivity potential with respect of economic value, social aspects of heritage and to rate the significance of the wetland.

Sikh tradition

Sikh tradition states that at the age of thirty, Nanak went missing and was presumed to have drowned after going for one of his morning baths to a local stream called the Kali Bein. Three days later he reappeared and would give the same answer to any question posed to him: "There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim" (in Punjabi, "nā kōi hindū nā kōi musalmān"). It was from this moment that Nanak would begin to spread the teachings of what was then the beginning of Sikhism.

Newell Obediah "Bud" Morse, Sr. (September 4, 1904 – April 6, 1987) was an American baseball second baseman and attorney.  He played college baseball for the University of Michigan and played Major League Baseball for the 1929 Philadelphia Athletics team that won the 1929 World Series and is considered one of the greatest baseball teams in history.  He later practiced as an attorney in California and Nevada.  In 1957, he was recognized by the Governor of Nevada for "exceptional acts of heroism" in disarming a gunman who had run amok in the Reno, Nevada veterans' hospital, killing two persons and injuring a third.

Early years
Morse was born in Berkeley, California.  His father, Newell O. Morse, Sr., was a native of Maine who managed and later owned a stationery and book store in Berkeley.  At the time of the 1910 and 1920 United States Censuses, Morse was living in Berkeley with his parents, an older brother Paul, and a younger sister Helen.

Morse enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley in 1922. He was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity at Berkeley.  According to the university's 1924 and 1925 yearbooks, Morse played for the California Golden Bears baseball team coached by former major league pitcher Carl Zamloch.  Morse was listed as a five-foot, nine inch, 143 pound left fielder.

Morse transferred to the University of Michigan where he graduated in 1928 with a bachelor of science degree in education.  and played for the Michigan Wolverines baseball team.  He was a member of the Phi Epsilon Kappa National Honorary Physical Education Fraternity at Michigan. In 1956, Michigan's long-time baseball coach Ray Fisher selected his all-time Michigan baseball team and named Morse as one of two second basemen (along with Buck Giles).

After leaving Michigan, returned to Berkeley to attend law school.  He also played college baseball for Berkeley in 1929.  He reportedly delayed his matriculation into Boalt Hall law school when he signed with the Philadelphia Athletics.

Professional baseball
In early June 1929, and just out of college, Morse was signed with the San Francisco Mission Reds of the Pacific Coast League.  Although he had played second base in college, the Mission Reds signed Morse to replace their injured shortstop. The Sporting News reported: "He is said to have done a splendid job, considering his lack of experience."  Morse appeared in 21 games for the Missionaries and compiled a .250 batting average.  On June 22, 1929, Morse was sold to the Des Moines Demons in the Western League.  Morse played a few games at shortstop for the Demons, but was quickly shifted to his natural position at second base where, according to The Sporting News, "he immediately became a star."  He appeared in 76 games for the Demons and compiled a .302 batting average.

On August 31, 1929, Morse was sold to Connie Mack's 1929 Philadelphia Athletics.  The sale came about through the efforts of Des Moines team's president Lee Keyser.  According to a press account, "Morse looked so big leaguish in his work at the keystone sack" that Keyser took a train to St. Louis when the Athletics were playing the St. Louis Browns.  Keyser told Mack about Morse, and Mack acquired Morse on Keyser's recommendation without seeing Morse.  The New York Yankees were also reported to be "keenly interested" in signing Morse, "but apparently the Athletics outbid them."

Morse had the good fortune of joining a team that is considered "one of the greatest baseball teams ever assembled."  The 1929 Athletics included five Hall of Famers (Mickey Cochrane, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons, Eddie Collins and Lefty Grove), compiled a 104-46 record and defeated the Chicago Cubs in the 1929 World Series.  Manager Connie Mack used Morse to relieve the team's regular second baseman, Max Bishop.  Morse made his major league debut on September 14, 1929, and appeared in eight games during the last two weeks of the regular season.  He compiled an .074 batting average with two hits in 27 at-bats. In early October 1929, The Sporting News reported on Morse's progress: "Morse is fielding excellently and has won favor from Mack, but as yet the Californian has not found his batting stride."

After the 1929 season, the Athletics released Morse back to Des Moines.  The Sporting News called him a "promising young player" and reported: "He proved a capital fielder, but was a little shy with the bat."

In 1930, Morse appeared in 13 games for the Dallas Steers (Texas League) and Minneapolis Millers (American Association).

Family and later years
After retiring from baseball, Morse returned to the University of California's Boalt Hall law school.  After graduating from law school, he formed a law partnership with his brother Paul D. Morse.  In February 1936, Morse married Berniece H. Wright at Carmel, California.  They met in 1931 when both were employed as playground supervisors for the Berkeley Recreation Department.  At the time of the marriage, Morse was an attorney in Oakland, California.

Morse later worked as an attorney at the veteran's hospital in Reno, Nevada.  In 1957, he gained attention when he disarmed a former security guard who had run amok in the hospital with a shotgun.  The disgruntled former employee killed two hospital employees and shot a third person before Morse disarmed him "in a wild battle in a corridor."  The Reno Evening Gazette wrote: "He might have killed Harrison, but hospital attorney Newell Morse, 53, caught Eaton's revolver hand from behind.  Two revolver shots hit the wall.  Morse then hit Eaton with a right haymaker.  Eaton went down.  Harrison and Morse disarmed him and held him until the arrival of police.  Policemen ... found Eaton battered and bloody, in the hand of Morse and Harrison."  One month later, Nevada Governor Charles H. Russell presented Morse a gold medal for "exceptional acts of heroism" in capturing and disarming the gunman.

In 1987, Morse died in Sparks, Nevada at age 82.

Jordan Brian Henderson  (born 17 June 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder and captains Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq and plays for the England national team. Henderson is noted for his leadership, versatility and physicality.

Henderson joined the Sunderland Academy at the age of eight, making his first-team debut a decade later in November 2008. He spent six months on loan at Coventry City in 2009, before returning to Sunderland. In 2011, Henderson signed for Liverpool, winning his first trophy with the club, the League Cup, one year later. Appointed Liverpool captain in 2015, Henderson won the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2019, and in 2020 led his team to the Premier League title. For his performances in the title-winning season, Henderson was named FWA Footballer of the Year. In 2022, Henderson won the FA Cup and the EFL Cup, with Liverpool beating Chelsea on penalties in both finals.

An England international, Henderson has over 75 appearances for his country since his debut in 2010. He has appeared at six international tournaments with England, the 2012, 2016 and 2020 UEFA European Championships and the 2014, 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups. He was the first player to win the England Player of the Year award at both the U-21 and senior level.

Early life
Jordan Brian Henderson was born on 17 June 1990 in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, and joined the youth system of his hometown club Sunderland aged eight.

Club career

Sunderland

2008–2009: Early career and loan to Coventry City
Henderson signed a professional contract with Sunderland on 1 July 2008. He made his first-team debut on 1 November in a 5–0 away defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League, in which he came on as a half-time substitute. He then made his first Sunderland start and home debut against Blackburn Rovers in the League Cup the following month.

In January 2009, Henderson joined Championship club Coventry City on a one-month loan. He made his Coventry debut in a 2–1 defeat to Derby County. Henderson's loan to Coventry was extended until the end of the season, and he scored the first senior goal of his career on 28 February 2009 against Norwich City. After picking up an injury, a fracture to the fifth metatarsal bone in his foot, he returned to Sunderland in April 2009.

2009–2011: Return to Sunderland

In the 2009–10 season, Henderson broke into the Sunderland first team and made 38 appearances, scoring 2 goals. He scored his first senior goal for the club against Birmingham City in the League Cup third round. He then went on to score his first Premier League goal against Manchester City on 19 December 2009.

Henderson spent the majority of the season on the right side of midfield but played centrally in the absence of Lee Cattermole; his versatility and consistency earned him a new five-year contract on 23 April 2010, keeping him with the club until 2015. He also went on to win the Sunderland Young Player of the Year award for the 2009–10 season.

Henderson was a major part of the team during the 2010–11 season making 39 appearances and scoring 3 goals, including his first league double, on 23 April at home to Wigan Athletic. On 13 January 2011, Henderson was listed on the official FIFA website as one of 13 young players to watch in 2011. He was named Sunderland's Young Player of the Year for the second season running.

Liverpool

2011–2015: Emergence and first successes

On 9 June 2011, Henderson was transferred to Liverpool for an undisclosed fee thought to be between £16 and £20 million. He made his debut in Liverpool's first match of the 2011–12 Premier League, a 1–1 draw against his former club Sunderland where he was given a mixed reception by Sunderland fans. On 27 August 2011, Henderson scored his first goal for Liverpool in a Premier League fixture at Anfield against Bolton Wanderers. On 26 February 2012, Henderson started on the right of midfield in Liverpool's 2012 League Cup final victory over Cardiff City before being substituted in the 58th minute. On 5 May, he played the full 90 minutes as Liverpool were beaten 2–1 by Chelsea in the 2012 FA Cup final. Henderson ended the 2011–12 season with 2 goals from 48 appearances.

In August 2012, Henderson was told he could be signed by Fulham by new manager Brendan Rodgers, but this was rejected by the player. He went on to score his first European goal for Liverpool on 6 December 2012, with the winner against Udinese in the UEFA Europa League as the Reds qualified for the last 32.

Henderson established himself as a regular member of the Liverpool team in the 2013–14 season, playing in 40 matches and scoring 5 goals. On 29 September 2013, he made his 100th appearance for the club as Liverpool won 1–3 at Sunderland.

On 13 April 2014 he received his first career red card for a dangerous sliding tackle on Samir Nasri in a 3–2 win over Manchester City, resulting in a three match ban which meant he would miss three of Liverpool's last four matches; without Henderson, Liverpool lost 0–2 in a home game against Chelsea and drew 3–3 with Crystal Palace, losing a 3–0 lead in just 15 minutes before the final whistle. Failure to win 3 points in each of those games meant Liverpool had already been overhauled by Manchester City in first place by the time of Henderson's return from suspension. On 11 May 2014, the final match day of the competition, he started in Liverpool's 2–1 home win over Newcastle United only to finish second as Manchester City claimed the league title in their concurrent game.

Henderson started the 2014–15 season in a good form, providing two assists in Liverpool's first three league matches, and was named as the club's vice-captain following the departure of Daniel Agger. On 29 November, Henderson started as captain for the first time for Liverpool in the Premier League against Stoke City as Steven Gerrard was an unused substitute. On 2 December, Henderson marked his 150th appearance for the club by scoring the third goal in a 3–1 win against Leicester City to confirm the win. Henderson started many Liverpool matches as captain as Gerrard was out injured or being rested on the bench. On 23 April, Henderson signed a five-year contract extension at Liverpool worth £100,000 a week.

2015–2021: Club captain and further achievements

Following the departure of Gerrard in June 2015, Henderson was made captain of Liverpool. After aggravating a heel injury Henderson underwent surgery, but broke a bone in his right foot before he could rejoin the starting line-up. It was reported that Henderson's heel problems stemmed from the incurable condition plantar fasciitis. The injury meant that he missed the arrival of manager Jürgen Klopp after Rodgers was sacked. He returned to first-team football on 29 November 2015 against Swansea City. He scored on his first start since his injury, in a 2–2 home draw with West Bromwich Albion on 13 December 2015. A knee injury sustained during Liverpool's Europa League first leg clash with Borussia Dortmund ruled him out until the end of the season. Henderson ended the 2015–16 season with 26 appearances and 2 goals.

Henderson started the 2016–17 season with regular appearances in the starting eleven and on 16 September scored a spectacular 25-yard strike in a 2–1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The strike earned him the Premier League Goal of the Month award for the month of September. Henderson ended the season with 27 appearances, scoring 1 goal. Henderson spent the 2017–18 season as a first-team regular, and he scored his only goal of the season on 23 September 2017, with a winner against Leicester City in a 3–2 win. On 15 August 2017, Henderson captained Liverpool for the first time in the Champions League against German team 1899 Hoffenheim. He would go on to captain Liverpool all the way to the final, ending up on the losing side after Liverpool were beaten 3–1 by Real Madrid in Kyiv. Henderson ended the 2017–18 season with 41 appearances in all competitions, scoring 1 goal.

Henderson signed a new five-year deal at Liverpool in 2018 after leading the club to its first UEFA Champions League final in over a decade. After signing the contract, Henderson emphasised his intentions to remain at Liverpool for as long as possible and ideally the remainder of his career. On 24 November, Henderson was sent off after receiving a second yellow card in a 3–0 win against Watford, meaning he would miss the Merseyside derby on 2 December.

On 7 May 2019, Henderson played through pain after suffering a first half knee injury to captain Liverpool to qualification for their second UEFA Champions League final in as many seasons with a 4–3 aggregate semi-final victory over Barcelona, a 4–0 victory on the night. Liverpool began the match with a 0–3 deficit to overcome and key players missing, and the comeback is considered to be one of the best in the history of the competition. On 1 June 2019, Henderson captained Liverpool in a 2–0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the 2019 UEFA Champions League final in Madrid, becoming the fifth Liverpool captain to lift the Champions League trophy, the club's sixth overall. Liverpool then followed this up by winning the 2019 UEFA Super Cup, beating Chelsea on penalties. On 21 December 2019, Henderson led Liverpool to their first FIFA Club World Cup title after beating 2019 Copa Libertadores winners Flamengo 1–0 after extra time in the final in Doha, making them the only English club to win the treble of continental trophies. After this third trophy in a year, ex-Liverpool player John Aldridge voiced his belief that Henderson should now be regarded as a Liverpool great.

Liverpool finished the 2018–19 season with one of the highest points totals in English top-flight history, but finished in 2nd place one point behind champions Manchester City. Liverpool's good form continued into the following season, and after a break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Henderson led Liverpool to their first league title in 30 years on 25 June 2020. Often credited for heroic and passionate performances throughout the league-winning season, Henderson was named the FWA Footballer of the Year for 2020 along with being named a finalist for the PFA Players' Player of the Year. Having featured in 40 games during the 2019–20 season, Henderson entered the list of top 40 all-time Liverpool appearance makers at the end of the campaign.

2021–2023: Domestic double and FA Community Shield

On 31 August 2021, Henderson signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool. He scored his first Champions League goal in seven years on 15 September, with the winner in the opening group stage match, a 3–2 home victory over AC Milan. On 24 October, he captained Liverpool to a 5–0 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford, with his defence splitting pass putting Mohamed Salah through to score Liverpool's fifth. Henderson made his 300th Premier League appearance for Liverpool on 8 November against West Ham United.

On 14 May 2022, Henderson became the first Liverpool captain to win six different trophies after winning the 2021–22 FA Cup. Liverpool just missed out on the chance to achieve a historic quadruple, coming second in the Premier League and the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League but winning both the EFL Cup and the FA Cup. At the end of the 2022–23 season, Liverpool narrowly missed out on UEFA Champions League qualification. On 26 July 2023, Henderson confirmed he would be leaving Liverpool after 12 years.

Al-Ettifaq
On 27 July 2023, Henderson signed for Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq for a reported transfer fee of £12 million, which is managed by Steven Gerrard who has been his former teammate at Liverpool for three years. He made his debut on 14 August in a 2–1 win against Al-Nassr in the league.

International career

Youth

Henderson made his debut for the under-19s against the Czech Republic in 2009, before breaking into Stuart Pearce's under-21 squad. He scored his first goal in an England shirt in the European U21 Championship play-offs against Romania, hitting a volley from outside the box to give England the lead.

Henderson was selected in the England U21 squad for the 2011 European Championship. However, England were knocked out in the group stage. He captained the England U21 team in a 6–0 win over Azerbaijan U21 on 1 September 2011, scoring one goal in the Euro 2013 qualifier. He then scored his fourth under-21 goal in a 2–1 win away at Norway, maintaining England's 100% record in Euro 2013 qualification. On 3 February 2013, Henderson was named the England U21 Player of the Year in the inaugural year of the award. He captained the under-21 team at the 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.

Senior
On 11 November 2010, Henderson was omitted from England's U21 squad for their friendly with Germany, instead receiving his first call up to the senior England squad on 17 November for their friendly against France. He made his debut in the match, playing from the start in central midfield alongside Steven Gerrard.

Initially named as a standby player, Henderson was called up to the England Euro 2012 squad to replace the injured Frank Lampard. He featured in England's first match of the tournament against France, coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute for Scott Parker, and again featured as a substitute, coming on during extra-time, in England's quarter-final penalty shoot-out defeat to Italy.

Henderson was selected in Roy Hodgson's 23-man squad to travel to Brazil for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He started in England's opening two World Cup group matches, 2–1 defeats to Italy in Manaus, and Uruguay in São Paulo.

Henderson was also selected in the England Euro 2016 squad by Roy Hodgson. He only played one match, playing the full 90 minutes in the final group match against Slovakia which ended 0–0 as England finished second in their group.

He was named in the England squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. In England's Round of 16 match against Colombia, Henderson was the only Three Lions player to miss a spot-kick as the match went to penalties. England still won though, 4–3, and made it to the semi-finals. The following year, after helping his nation finish third at the inaugural UEFA Nations League and qualify for UEFA Euro 2020, Henderson was named England Player of the Year, in the process becoming the first player to win the award at both U21 and senior level.

Henderson's first international goal came on 3 July 2021 in the Euro 2020 quarter-final game against Ukraine. Entering as a substitute, he scored England's last goal with a header of the 4–0 win. In the UEFA Euro 2020 final, Henderson was a 74th minute substitute before being replaced himself by Marcus Rashford at the end of extra time as England finished as runners-up.

Henderson was named in the English 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He scored his first ever World Cup goal after a link-up play with Jude Bellingham in the Round of 16 against Senegal.

Player profile

Style of play
Henderson usually plays as a box-to-box midfielder, although under Klopp he was mostly used as a defensive midfielder. With the arrival of Fabinho in 2018, Henderson moved back to his original "number 8" position as a central midfielder closer to the right side of the pitch, a role in which he excels the most. A versatile player, he has also been used in a more advanced midfield role on occasion, and even as a makeshift centre-back during periods of injury crisis among Liverpool's central defenders. He is widely regarded as a player who works hard and brings energy to the team.

Described as an "athletic and hardworking midfielder," Henderson developed his game during his time at Liverpool, evolving into a more complete player; in particular, former Liverpool player Danny Murphy noted that his passing range had increased, which allowed him to take on an increasingly more creative role for his team. Furthermore, he constantly presses high up the field whenever the opposition is in possession. Besides physical attributes and footballing skills, he has also been praised for his tactical intelligence, consistency, and his leadership both on and off the pitch. He is also known for his ability to win challenges, transition the ball forward, and make attacking runs from midfield to get into good offensive positions.

Henderson has the most passes of any player in Premier League history, with 23,364.

Reception
Although he received media criticism early in his career for being dispensable, he later drew praise from pundits for his ability to develop his game and establish himself as an essential player, with Flamengo manager Jorge Jesus describing him as the "best midfielder in the world in his position" following their encounter in the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup Final. Liverpool coach Klopp described him as "exceptional" and "outstanding," while Steven Gerrard said about Henderson, "Teams can't function at Liverpool's level without a cog like Jordan Henderson."

Personal life
Henderson studied at Farringdon Community Sports College before joining Sunderland as a youngster. He is a Sunderland fan and attended the 2014 League Cup final with the Sunderland fans, while being a player at Liverpool. On the same day as being named Liverpool captain, it was announced he would also be featuring alongside Lionel Messi on the cover of the UK edition of FIFA 16.

Henderson and his wife Rebecca Burnett have three children. His father Brian, a former policeman and amateur footballer, survived oral cancer during Henderson's early Liverpool career and was able to attend the 2019 Champions League final in Madrid.

In December 2020, Henderson responded on Twitter to a fan who said that the club had helped deal with his sexual orientation during his teenage years and early adulthood. Henderson stated that if by wearing rainbow laces as Premier League captains helped at least one person, it was progress. He further stated that "everyone is welcome at Liverpool Football Club", sparking positive reactions from fans and LGBT organisations. Kop Outs, the official LGBT Liverpool supporters group said of Henderson's response as "an immensely important moment which touched a chord with all Reds fans."

During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom, Henderson, as captain of Liverpool, contacted fellow Premier League captains to organise a COVID-19 fund that would raise millions of pounds for the NHS. His idea was for Premier League footballers to contribute to a fund for frontline NHS workers.

Henderson was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2021 Birthday Honours for "services to Football and to Charity particularly during the Covid-19 Pandemic".

His autobiography, Jordan Henderson: The Autobiography, was released in October 2022.

In July 2023, Henderson was criticised for the move to Saudi Arabia in some quarters, having previously written in support of the LGBTQ+ community. The video released by Al-Ettifaq desaturated Henderson's rainbow armband to black and white. Former German international Thomas Hitzlsperger, who announced he was gay after his playing career ended, posted on social media "I did believe for a while that [Henderson's] support for the [rainbow emoji] community would be genuine. Silly me." "I can understand the frustration [from the LGBTQ+ community]," Henderson later told The Athletic. "I can understand the anger. I get it. All I can say around that is that I'm sorry that they feel like that. My intention was never, ever to hurt anyone. My intention has always been to help causes and communities where I felt like they have asked for my help."

"Second Thirty Years' War" is a periodization scheme sometimes used to encompass the wars in Europe from 1914 to 1945.
Just as the Thirty Years' War of 1618 to 1648 was not a single war but a series of conflicts in varied times and locations, later organized and named by historians into a single period, the Second Thirty Years' War has been seen as a "European Civil War", fought over the problem of Germany and exacerbated by the new ideologies of fascism, Nazism and communism that came into power after World War I. The thesis of the Second Thirty Years' War is that World War I naturally led to World War II; in this framework, the latter is the inevitable result of the former, and thus they can be seen as a single conflict. Historians have criticized this thesis on the grounds that it excuses the actions of fascist and Nazi historical actors.

Origins
The concept of a "Second Thirty Years' War" originated in 1946 with the former head of French government Charles de Gaulle in his speech in Bar-le-Duc (28 July 1946) evoking "the drama of the Thirty Years War we just won". De Gaulle viewed the First World War and the Second World War as a single conflict, the interwar period being a mere truce. That was echoed, among others, by Sigmund Neumann in his book The Future in Perspective (1946). In 1948, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill gave the idea a boost when, in the first paragraph of the preface to The Gathering Storm (1948), he wrote that his books would "cover an account of another Thirty Years War". Major European conflicts during that period included the Balkan Wars (1912–13), World War I (1914–18), the Russian Civil War (1917–23), the Ukrainian–Soviet War (1917–21), the Polish–Soviet War (1919–21), the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) and World War II (1939–45). In addition, the interwar period saw significant levels of civilian and labor conflict as well as colonial wars.

Criticism
The thesis has been challenged and rejected by many historians, who see it as too simple an explanation for the complex series of events that occurred during the interwar period of 1918 to 1939. In particular, some argue that, in describing the rise of the Nazis as an inevitable result of the treaty of Versailles, the "Second Thirty Years' War" thesis excuses Nazi rhetoric as being a defensive reaction to supposed British and French vindictiveness. Rather, critics see World War II as a consequence of Hitler and the racist ideology of Nazism, and since Hitler's rise to power was contingent on the Great Depression, it cannot have been inevitable, nor can his support have been a direct reaction to Versailles. The Second Thirty Years' War thesis is part of the larger debates over the causes of World War II and over the idea of a European Civil War.

Sir Theobald Mathew,  (4 November 1898 – 29 February 1964) was a British lawyer who served as Director of Public Prosecutions from 1944 to 1964, making him the longest-serving DPP.

Mathew was born in London, the son of Anna and Charles James Mathew and grandson of Lord Justice Mathew. He was educated at The Oratory School and Royal Military College, Sandhurst. During World War I, he served with the Irish Guards, and was awarded the Military Cross in 1918. He was appointed aide-de-camp to Lieutenant-General Sir Alexander Godley in 1919.

Mathew was called to the bar by Lincoln's Inn in 1921, but quit the bar to train as a solicitor in 1925, articling at Charles Russell & Co., whose senior partner, Sir Charles Russell, was his wife's uncle. He was admitted as a solicitor in 1928 and became a partner of Charles Russell & Co. In 1941, he joined the Home Office, and in 1942 became head of its Criminal Division.

He was appointed Director of Public Prosecutions in 1944, having been recommended to the Prime Minister by Herbert Morrison, the Home Secretary, who had been impressed by Mathew's performance. He was the first solicitor to ever hold the office. In 1946 he was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

In the late 1940s to the early 1950s, he directed a sustained campaign against homosexuality. Police used agents provocateurs to lure men into criminal offences. In 1960 he reluctantly authorised the prosecution of Penguin Books for obscenity after they published Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence.

Family
In 1923, he married Phyllis Helen Russell, granddaughter of Charles Russell, Baron Russell of Killowen, a former Lord Chief Justice of England.

Line 15 of the Beijing Subway () is a rapid transit rail line in northern Beijing. Line 15's color is purple.

The line has a total length of  across northern Beijing from Qinghuadongluxikou in Haidian District in the west, to Fengbo in Shunyi District in the east. The line uses Sparcs CBTC system supplied by Nippon Signal. It cost ¥17.6 billion. The line features 6-car trains similar to other lines in the Beijing Subway. Tunnels of Line 15 are up to  underground, making them the deepest in Beijing's subway system. Trains run every 2–3 minutes during the rush hour with some trains performing express services. A journey on a local all stop train from Fengbo to Qinghuadongluxikou station takes about 60 minutes.

Route
The line is  with 20 stations, with 4 transfer stations at Wangjing (Line 14), Wangjing West (Line 13), Datunlu East (Line 5) and Olympic Green (Line 8). The line run from Qinghuadongluxikou in Haidian District to Fengbo in Shunyi District. Line 15 travels underground from Qinghuadongluxikou to Maquanying, and then goes above ground on an elevated track to Houshayu before returning underground and going underneath the Chaobai River to Fengbo. The elevated section is high enough to allow elevated roads to pass underneath. A major public venue on the Line 15 is the New China International Exhibition Center (New CIEC) at the China International Exhibition Center station. New CIEC holds the annual Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, which attracted 800,000 visitors in 2012.

List of Stations

History
During planning of Line 15, the eastern terminus was moved from Fuqian Jie  to the east bank of the Chaobai River. Construction began on Phase I of Line 15 in Shunyi District on April 11, 2009. At that time, Phase I of Line 15 was only  long with 12 stations. According to the construction schedule in 2009, the easternmost Shunyi section of Phase I ( in length with seven stations) would be opened first on December 30, 2011. The remainder of Phase I would follow in May 2013.

The route of Line 15's Phase II has been revised several times over the years. In April 2009, Phase II plans showed the western half of Line 15 running from Xiyuan Station in Haidian District, through the campus of Tsinghua University, Zhongguancun, and the Olympic Green, and joining  at Wangjing West. When track-laying began in Phase I on October 28, 2009, the schedule and alignment of  underwent a major revision, with one proposal extending Line 15 westward as originally planned with additional stations and another proposal sending Line 15 southward and parallel to Line 8 to provide relief for congested Line 4 and 5. Ultimately the route west to Qinghuadongluxikou was selected and the design of Xiyuan station leaves enough space to build another platform in between Line 4 and Line 16 platform for potential Line 15 extension westward beyond Qinghuadongluxikou. Additionally the construction schedule was revised with Phase I expanded from  and 12 stations to  and 18 stations.  plans also underwent a revision; instead of two sections, Phase II would be built and opened in three sections.

The first section of , from Wangjing West to Houshayu, opened on December 30, 2010. The second, from Houshayu to Fengbo, followed at the end of 2011. The third section, from Qinghuadongluxikou to Wangjing West, opened on December 28, 2014.

In 8 July 2022, an EIA document regarding Phase III construction of Beijing rail transport system (2022–2027) announced the phase 2 of line 15, with 3.5 km long extension from Fengbo to Nancai.

Line 15, Phase I stations, from east to west with transfers in parentheses:

 * Wangjing East station did not open in 2010 due to lack of connections with the surrounding road system. It was opened on 31 December 2016.

** Datunlu East station did not open in 2014 because the transfer corridors to Line 5 were still under construction. It was opened on 26 December 2015.

Aqualate Hall, a 20th-century country house, is located in Forton, Staffordshire, England, some  east of the market town of Newport, Shropshire and  west of the county town of Stafford. It is a Grade II* listed building.

History

The site of the house may have been occupied in Roman times as two food vessels were found during drainage of the grounds.

The first manor house on the site, built above the Aqualate Mere in the 16th century by Thomas Skrymsher was rebuilt for Edwin Skrymsher (Member of Parliament for Stafford) in the  17th century just after he had completed nearby Forton Hall. The original building remained in much the same style until, Sir John Boughey bought the house in the late 18th century and in 1808 commissioned John Nash to rebuild it in the Gothic style. Sir Thomas Boughey developed the house, grounds and associated village in the 1830s.

The building was destroyed by fire on 28 November 1910. The present house, which incorporates some elements of the 17th-century house and of Nash's Gothic successor, was built between 1927 and 1930 by W. D. Caröe. An original range of gables by Nash joins the new house to an 18th-century stable block.

During World War II the house was used an evacuation home. The grounds were used as a military transport base run by the Auxiliary Territorial Service. The Nissen huts which they left behind were then used by the homeless until 1952.

Etymology
The name Aqualate is from Anglo-Saxon Āc-gelād, possibly in the sense "difficult passage over wet ground by the oak trees"; there is much wet and boggy ground in the area and a mere, although Eilert Ekwall suggests Old English Āc-gelãd meaning "oak stream".

Architecture

The square red brick building has clay tile roofs. It has a service wing on the east side. The north front has a two-storey polygonal porch, two projecting canted bays and is decorated with armorial shields and a carved head which used to be on a gatepost. In the grounds can be found stables, two Gothic lodge-houses, and a red brick house with an attached castellated tower.

There is now no sign of the original formal gardens but the boundary of the deer park can still be identified.  This contains plantations of oak trees.
