Douglas Witter is a fictional character from the WB television drama Dawson's Creek, portrayed by Dylan Neal. The character appears in five of the six seasons, but less frequently in seasons five and six.

Fictional biography

Background
Doug Witter is the older brother of main character Pacey Witter. He is a local police officer, and was introduced in the first season of the show. He is shown to be judgmental of his younger brother. Doug became a police officer to be close to their father, who is the sheriff, and does everything he can to get on his father's good side. Doug is judgmental of Pacey's laid-back and care-free attitude, sometimes belittling his younger brother who is mistreated and neglected by their alcoholic and frequently abusive father who favors Doug more because Doug is subservient and often follows their stern father's orders and abrasive comments without question as well as calmly takes any of Mr. Witter's verbal and physical abuse. Pacey, believing Doug to be a homosexual in denial, spends most of the series persuading Doug to "come out of the closet", which Doug strongly denies being in. During the run of the show, he progresses professionally, and eventually becomes the Chief of Police in Capeside. He lives on his own in a small apartment, but occasionally allows family members to stay with him. He is obsessively neat, and expects that the people in his life follow his lead.

Season 1
During season one, Doug's main interactions are with Pacey. Doug is seen to form a crush on a Capeside High School English teacher, Tamara Jacobs, who, unbeknownst to Doug, is already involved in a sexual relationship with Pacey. As Pacey is only 15 and one of Miss Jacobs students, the relationship is kept quiet. Later in the season, when the affair is exposed, Doug immediately assumes Pacey has made up a rumour and is lying about any association that he has with his teacher, who Doug describes as "poor, sweet Tamara". When Pacey tells the board of governors that he was lying, Doug apologises to Tamara for his brother's behaviour. Tamara in turn chastises Doug for his words, and defends Pacey, leaving Doug perplexed. During the season, Pacey makes jokes about Doug's sexuality, even briefly duping Miss Jacobs into believing he is openly gay, an act for which Doug threatens Pacey with his gun.

Season 2
Doug is mentioned but he does not appear at all in season two, since the actor was committed to another series at the time.

Season 3
During season three, Doug becomes marginally involved in the storyline involving the seductive but manipulative Eve Whitman. Firstly, Dawson Leery calls him to the scene of a burglary at Evelyn Ryan's house, but fails to tell Doug that the perpetrator is Eve (after she had threatened Dawson that she will implicate him in the break-in if he ratted her out). During the same episode, Dawson solicits Doug's advice about tracking Eve down after she has disappeared. Dawson and Pacey trail Eve onto a yacht that she has been illegally living on, but being slick and devious, Eve gives them both the slip and makes an anonymous phone call to the police where Doug arrives and catches both Dawson and Pacey on board the boat, threatening to arrest them for trespassing.

Doug and Pacey banter for a while, with Pacey implying that Doug is sexually interested in Dawson, Doug shouts back to Pacey that he is not gay.

In an episode entitled "The Longest Day", Doug attends the christening of Pacey's boat, and is displeased to find himself suddenly babysitting Pacey's young friend Buzz (who the younger Witter is mentoring). In one episode ("The Valentine's Day Massacre"), Doug ends up arresting Pacey and five of his friends (Joey Potter, Dawson, Jack and Andie McPhee, and their visiting friend, Kate Douglas) and placing them in the 'drunk tank' at the police station after a party. Towards the end of the season, Pacey moves in with Doug after their older sister, Kerry, and her three children move into their parents home after leaving her abusive husband, and thus Pacey finds himself more or less thrown out onto the street. (Note: alcoholism and domestic abuse appears to be a pattern among nearly all of the male relatives and in-laws of the Witter family... excluding Doug and Pacey.) During their brief living together status, Doug inadvertently ends up advising Pacey on his relationship with Joey. Pacey remarks that the advice is "thought out and un-Dougy like", before attempting to put it into practice.

Season 4
At the beginning of season four, Doug rejects Pacey's pleadings to return to live with him, as he is now playing host to their other older sister Gretchen (Sasha Alexander) who is taking time out from her university studies. Gretchen soon becomes irritated by Doug's obsessive cleaning, remarking that living with him is "like living with Felix Unger on crack". She soon moves out of Doug's apartment shortly thereafter to live with Pacey in a summer beach house that Gretchen rents.

In a later episode, Doug's job is ridiculed by Pacey, who makes fun of the trivial aspects of small town police work. The brothers later make up, showing a rarely seen closeness.

Midway through the season, Doug attends Pacey's 18th birthday party, telling the assembled friends and his immature and cynical family members about a time that Pacey wet himself, laughing at the memory which further humiliates Pacey.

Later in the season, during senior ditch day, Doug arrests Pacey that evening for drunk and disorderly conduct after skipping school and causing a public disturbance with Dru Valentine. Doug threatens to arrest Pacey and further browbeats him by adding: "Haven't you embarrassed and shamed this family enough? You're not satisfied with being a moron and a failure, now you've got to add 'drunk' to your list credentials?" With that, Pacey loses it and grabs Doug and screams: "This is it for me, Doug! This is my life now! This is all I get!" Doug instead drives Pacey home and shows that he still is a good brother by agreeing to drop the charges.

A short time later, Doug attempts to help Pacey with his schoolwork, after their stern father, John (John Finn), receives a telephone call from the school saying that Pacey is in trouble academically. Pacey rejects the offer of help, but he nevertheless graduates, with Doug telling him that he is proud of him, agreeing to him storing his belongings at his flat while Pacey goes sailing for the summer.

Season 5
Doug appears only briefly during season five, as almost all main characters (including Pacey) are now living in Boston, and the action is focused there. At the beginning of the season, Doug recommends Pacey for a restaurant job with his friend, Danny Brecher. A few episodes later, Doug repeatedly attempts to contact Pacey to tell him that Mitch Leery, Dawson's father, has died, but Pacey ignores his calls, only discovering the reason for Doug's persistence when Joey visits him in person.

Season 6
In season six, Doug and Pacey's dynamic changes, as Pacey gets a good job with excellent pay at a small stockbroker firm in Boston. Pacey returns home to Capeside for Christmas with expensive gifts for the family, including a gold wristwatch for Doug. Apparently disbelieving that his slacker brother could make large sums of money through legitimate means, Doug questions Pacey on how he was able to afford such presents. Doug later attends Christmas dinner at the Leery house, hosted by Dawson's mother Gail, during which has a very drunk Audrey Liddell crashes Pacey's car into the side of the house. Doug ends up covering up for her legally, on the condition that Pacey covers the cost of the damages.

When Doug's father has a heart attack, new rivalries between the Witter brothers rise to the surface. Pacey, who now earns far more money than Doug, arranges for their father to have a private room at the hospital, and is heavily praised by their father, who brags about his youngest son to the doctors and nurses. For the first time in his life, Doug becomes upset at the lack of attention he receives from their father, thus getting a taste of the paternal neglect and mistreatment Pacey went through his entire childhood, and Doug gets more upset with Pacey because of this. When John begins to thank Pacey for paying for his hospital room, Pacey lies, telling him that Doug arranged it. Doug does not tell his father the truth, instead accepting the kudos that were due to Pacey. Though John Witter survives his heart attack, he apparently became too sick to work anymore because of multiple health problems caused by his lifelong alcoholism. As a result, Doug became the acting police chief of Capeside, and later full-time police chief.

Towards the end of the season, Pacey has financial difficulties which result in him losing his job and losing all his money, after which he is forced to move in with Doug, back in Capeside. Later, while Dawson is making another film, Doug (as the acting police chief) helps by blocking traffic from the street and volunteering with security on the movie set.

Series finale
Doug features in the finale, set five years in the future, quite heavily. His first appearance is when he pulls Jack McPhee over for speeding on his way to work. He give him stern words of warning about his driving, but then moves in to kiss him, confirming that the two are in a relationship. Since Doug and Pacey's father either died or became too sick to work, Doug is now the police chief of Capeside. Doug later turns up at the reopened Ice House restaurant, now owned by Pacey (with help from the bank and several Witter family members). He eats breakfast with Pacey.

Midway through the episode, Doug goes jogging with Jack, and a conversation between the two exposes flaws in their relationship, namely Doug's unwillingness to publicly reveal his sexuality, and Jack's unwillingness to live his life behind closed doors. The couple split shortly afterwards, but it is clear both still care about the other.

When Jen Lindley, Jack's best friend, becomes gravely ill, Doug goes to the hospital to show support for his former partner. After Jen's funeral, Doug attends the wake and tries to comfort Jack. Jack initially pushes him away, but Doug makes it clear that he wants to be with him and his daughter, as Jack has taken custody of Jen's daughter Amy. Doug kisses Jack on the beach while they are caring for Amy, and calls out to an elderly couple walking nearby, telling them he is in a relationship with Jack.

John Wheatley College was founded in 1989 and had its main campuses in Shettleston, Easterhouse and Haghill in Glasgow.

The college originally opened in 1989  within the former main building of Eastbank Academy (which had moved to a brand new building in 1986) supporting  learning throughout the communities of east Glasgow, working in partnership with the city council's community planning teams, with Glasgow Regeneration Agency and Glasgow Life, with local housing associations and voluntary organisations to provide neighbourhood learning centres connected to the wireless Glasgow East Learning Network, the twin hubs for which were its main campuses.  The opening of the Haghill Campus in 2007 meant the closure of the Shettleston Campus, the former Eastbank Academy buildings now being used as office space.

John Wheatley College provided courses in construction, hospitality, care, creative industries, art and computing, and provided outreach courses for adults across the Glasgow East Learning Network.  It also ran a significant youth programme in the networked learning centres, and at the Bridge in Easterhouse, in partnership with voluntary and statutory youth work providers, supported by both the City Council and Glasgow Housing Association.

The college also supported people recently arrived in Glasgow who spoke English as a second language.

The college merged with Stow College and North Glasgow College on 1 November 2013 to form Glasgow Kelvin College.

Psychochemical warfare — or "drug weapons" — involves the use of psychopharmacological agents (mind-altering drugs or chemicals) with the intention of incapacitating an adversary through the temporary induction of hallucinations or delirium. These agents have generally been considered chemical weapons and, more narrowly, constitute a specific type of incapacitating agent. Although never developed into an effective weapons system, psychochemical warfare theory and research—along with overlapping mind control drug research—was secretly pursued in the mid-20th century by the US military and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the context of the Cold War. These research programs were ended when they came to light and generated controversy in the 1970s. The degree to which the Soviet Union developed or deployed similar agents during the same period remains largely unknown.

History

Ancient psycho-chemical use
The use of chemicals to induce altered states of mind dates back to antiquity and includes the use of plants such as thornapple (Datura stramonium) that contain combinations of anticholinergic alkaloids. In 184 B.C., Hannibal's army used belladonna plants to induce disorientation.

Use by indigenous peoples
Records indicate that in 1611, in the British Jamestown Colony of Virginia, an unidentified, but toxic and hallucinogenic, drug derived from local plants was deployed with some success against the white settlers by Chief Powhatan.

In 1881, members of a French railway surveying expedition crossing Tuareg territory in North Africa ate dried dates that tribesmen had apparently deliberately contaminated with Egyptian henbane (Hyoscyamus muticus, or H. falezlez), to devastating effect.

Modern military research
In the 1950s, the CIA investigated LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) as part of its Project MKUltra. In the same period, the US Army undertook the secret Edgewood Arsenal human experiments which grew out of the U.S. chemical warfare program and involved studies of several hundred volunteer test subjects. Britain was also investigating the possible use of LSD and the chemical BZ (3-quinuclidinyl benzilate) as nonlethal battlefield drug-weapons. The United States eventually weaponized BZ for delivery in the M43 BZ cluster bomb until stocks were destroyed in 1989. Both the US and Britain concluded that the desired effects of drug weapons were unpredictable under battlefield conditions and gave up experimentation.

Reports of drug weapons associated with the Soviet bloc have been considered unreliable given the apparent absence of documentation in state archives.

Fablehaven: Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary is the fourth novel in The New York Times''' bestselling Fablehaven series.

This book starts off at the end of the third book, where the society of the Evening Star make some dangerous moves. Seth and Kendra are thrust into another dangerous adventure, where they leave the preserve and explore others. In this one they visit a preserve for dragons, wyrmroost, strange changes are wrought in Seth, and the society go farther than they ever have. Its sequel is the last book in the main series - Fablehaven: Keys to the Demon Prison.

Plot summary
Just before Christmas break, Kendra is kidnapped by a member of the Society of the Evening Star and replaced by a Stingbulb (a plant that, once it stings someone, will grow into a perfect replica, but die after a few days). Warren and Seth notice something odd with the clone after they intercept a letter revealing secrets, but when they confront it, it swallows a pill and dies. They bury the clone (unaware it is not Kendra) and return to Fablehaven. Meanwhile, Kendra is taken to the home of a lectoblix (able to drain the youth out of people) named Torina to await a meeting with the Sphinx.

The Sphinx arrives and forces Kendra to use the Oculus, one of the magical artifacts that can open the door to Zzyzx. With it, Kendra is able to see everywhere at once, but it becomes overwhelming. The Fairy Queen is able to help Kendra release the crystal. Back at Fablehaven, another stingbulb infiltrates the group, this time in the form of Maddox. He releases Vanessa from the Quiet Box, but she knocks him unconscious and tells Grandpa Sorenson. With her help, they discover a plan to rescue Kendra, but the group is still distrustful of her. Kendra receives a note and a knapsack that has a magical room in it and a stingbulb. She creates a clone of herself, enters the knapsack, and escapes the house. She is picked up by Trask, a Knight of the Dawn, and returned to Fablehaven.

In the journal of Patton Burgess, Kendra learns there is a secret message about where the other magical artifacts are. They read the message and learn about the Ocolus, as well as the Translocator. In order to recover the Translocator they must go to the Dragon Sanctuary and recover a key. To enter the sanctuary, they must obtain a unicorn horn. In the Hall of Dread Seth is able to hear the whispers of the shades imprisoned there.

The only unicorn horn in Fablehaven was the property of the centaurs, but they refuse to let the group borrow it. Seth hears Graulus (the demon) call for him. He sneaks out to see him and there he learns he is a Shadow Charmer, and that he is able to hide in dim light, communicate with dark creatures, see magically invisible objects, and is immune to magical fear. With these skills he successfully steals the unicorn horn from the centaurs. With the horn, Kendra, Dougan, Trask, Mara, Gavin, Warren, and Tanu set off to the Dragon Sanctuary to recover the key. Seth is hiding in the magical knapsack.

They arrive at the Sanctuary and meet the caretaker Agad - a dragon who became human in order to become a great wizard. He gives them directions to the Fairy Shrine in Thronis's (a sky Giant) domain. On the way they meet a dragon (Nafia) and Warren gets injured and must remain in the knapsack. When they arrive, Thronis captures everyone except Warren and Kendra. Kendra meets a fairy dragon named Raxtus who is very nice and agrees to help her get to the Fairy Shrine. There, Kendra learns the way to the Dragon Temple. Raxtus agrees to take her there, but refuses to help further as it would be a betrayal to dragons. Meanwhile, Seth helps the group strike a deal with Thronis to obtain some items from the Temple in exchange for their freedom.

The group meets back up at the entrance to the temple. They survive the Hydra, kill Grommus (the group is put to sleep but Vanessa takes over Tanu's body and slays the dragon) and Seth and Kendra team up to use the unicorn horn to kill Silleta the poison dragon. Mendigo is dissolved in the process. Gavin heads back to try to deal with the Hydra, while the remaining group gathers the items for Thronis and the key.

When they leave the temple they are ambushed by 2 dragons. Tanu and Seth escape on Griffins to Thronis's tower. Gavin (who is Navarog, the Demon prince dragon) turns into a dragon, eats Dougan, and fights off the 2 dragons. Kendra escapes a cleft, and Gavin is forced to take human shape again to get to her. He destroys the knapsack (trapping Warren inside) and takes the key and the unicorn horn. Raxtus, small and invisible as he is, sneaks up behind Gavin and eats him.

The remaining group returns to Fablehaven with the key, and returns the horn to the centaurs, claiming they rescued it from the Society of the Evening Star. They begin to make plans to recover the next artifact. It is revealed that Kendra and Seth's parents have been kidnapped by the society.

 Author's interview
Brandon Mull had an interview with SciFiChick in March 2009, and had a lot to say about his book. When Mull was asked where he go his ideas from his unique characters he said that "most of the creatures at Fablehaven and the other magical wildlife parks in the books come from different myths and legends. I borrow from Greek mythology, German and Scandinavian folklore, even Native American legends". Mull feels that his job as an author is to take familiar mythical creatures and figure out how they fit into his books. When asked where his inspiration came from Mull said: "Reading great books, seeing great movies. Getting outside also inspires me. I love dramatic landscapes. Wyrmroost, the dragon sanctuary in Fablehaven'' Book 4, came to life in my mind after a visit to Glacier National Park".

Book review
The book was given 4.9 stars out of 5, based on 1,039 global ratings.

Matthew Hawes (born February 13, 1986 in Pointe-Claire, Quebec) is a male swimmer from Canada, who mostly competes in the backstroke events.

Hawes' first international honour was a bronze medal (4 × 100 m medley relay) at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil . He narrowly missed the 2008 Olympic team.

At the 2009 World Aquatic Trials in Montreal, Hawes set a new national record in the 200-metre backstroke (1:57.34), earning him a spot in the World Championship team. After competing at the World Championships and reaching 18th position, he broke the longest standing men's National record in Leeds, England in the 200-metre backstroke (SC) with a time of 1:52.21.

Hawes held the 200m Backstroke Canadian record for just over ten years until it was broken in 2019 by Markus Thormeyer at the 2019 World Aquatic Championships.

Matt Hawes has won 34 national titles, and has broken 6 Canadian records over his career. He won his 34th national title at the 2011 World Championship trials in the 200m backstroke. His time of 1:58.89 was the 8th fastest time in the world in 2011.

In 2011, after a disappointing World Championship result, Hawes started training with previous assistant coach of the Texas Longhorn Men's Varsity Swim Team, Bobby Folan, at the University of Sydney, Australia. There he was working with Matt Jaukovich, previous 50m butterfly world record holder on the technical aspects of his main event (the 200m backstroke). His coach Bobby Folan was under the tutelage of Eddie Reese in Texas, where they both coached Aaron Peirsol, Garreth Weber-Gale and Brendan Hansen to the 2008 Olympic Games.

Hawes has been on the national team of Canada since 2003.

Muirtown (Gaelic: Baile an Fhraoich) is an area in the west end of the city of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. It contains the Muirtown basin and Muirtown Primary School.

An expansion of the Caledonian Canal close to its northeastern termination, the Muirtown Basin lies between Clachnaharry and Muirtown a mile (1.5 km) northwest of Inverness city centre. Planned in the early 19th century as a second harbour for the city by the canal's engineer Thomas Telford (1757–1834), it could not cope with the size of ships which were soon in use and thus never fulfilled its potential. It now serves as a marina. Immediately to the south of the basin are the Muirtown Locks, a flight of four locks on the Caledonian Canal at Muirtown, a mile (1.5 km) west northwest of Inverness city centre. The Muirtown Swing Bridge crosses the canal immediately to the north.

In popular culture

In the John Buchan novel Mr Standfast, Muirtown is the scene of an episode in the adventures of Richard Hannay as he seeks to avoid the Scottish police while simultaneously hunting a spy.

Kanaleneiland (, Utrecht dialect: ) is a district within the Southwest section of the Dutch city of Utrecht. It was listed (in 2005) as one of 40 "problem neighborhoods" that required extra attention by the Dutch Ministry of Housing.

Kanaleneiland's residents have low levels of employment, health, and education. Approximately 76% of the population are not ethnically Dutch, most of them being of Turkish and Moroccan origin. This unique political climate is one that shaped the views of one of its ex-residents, national politician Geert Wilders of the PVV, who lived in the area in the late 1990s. During his time in Kanaleneiland, Geert Wilders lived in an apartment complex on the Marco Pololaan, a busy street overlooking the Columbus park. This apartment complex is located above a Lidl supermarket, and has seen an increase in popularity among right-wingers.

Sir Robert Stickney Blaine (30 January 1816 – 15 December 1897) was a leading Conservative politician in the English City of Bath, who was mainly involved in local politics, but sat in the House of Commons from 1885 to 1886.

He was the son of Benjamin Blaine of Hull.  Following a private education, he moved to Summerhill Park, Bath. He was a magistrate and member of the city council, where he became leader of the Conservative group. In 1872-73 he held the office of mayor.

In 1885 he was elected as one Bath's two members of parliament. However, he found the duties of the office burdensome, and took the opportunity to retire from the House of Commons when a further election was held in 1886, returning to local politics.

He was married twice. In 1869 he married Constance Moger of Bath. Following her death he married Lydia Letitia Purvis, daughter of the late Sir Timothy Vansittart Stonhouse, 14th Baronet. In 1890 Blaine was created a knight bachelor.

In his later years he suffered from ill health, and travelled to Cannes in the south of France on medical advice. He died in Dover while returning from the Continent in January 1897, aged 81.

Chief William Jeffrey (born 1899, date of death unknown) was a Canadian hereditary Tsimshian Chief, First Nations activist and carver. He attended residential school from 1914 to 1917. Though he desired to be a lawyer, his status as a First Nations person and government policy at the time prevented him from attending college for any profession other than the clergy.

In 1930 he co-founded the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia. "The NBBC advocated improvements to the level of education among Aboriginal peoples, greater recognition in law of their hunting, fishing and logging rights, and the decriminalization of the potlatch."(Treaty Talks in British Columbia: Negotiating a Mutually Beneficial Future p. 25) In 1940 he appeared in the House of Commons to further those aims, also delivering the message:

In 1953, attracted by the message of "peace and justice to peoples of all races, nationalities, creeds and colors," Jeffrey left behind his political pursuits to become a minister of Jehovah's Witnesses.

In 1960 he began carving totem poles and replicas of totem poles, joining a movement to revive the practice of Northwest Coast art once banned in British Columbia. Many of his poles still stand in Prince Rupert and even Adelaide Australia.

Jeffrey was a native speaker of Smalgyax, a Tsimshian language. He also spoke English and Chinook Jargon.

Walking,  or sometimes referred to as "The Wild", is a lecture by Henry David Thoreau first delivered at the Concord Lyceum on April 23, 1851. It was written between 1851 and 1860, but parts were extracted from his earlier journals. Thoreau read the piece a total of ten times, more than any other of his lectures. "Walking" was first published as an essay in the Atlantic Monthly after his death in 1862.

Transcendentalism in Walking/Form
"Walking" is a transcendental essay that analyzes the relationship between man and nature, trying to find a balance between society and our raw animal nature.

Themes

 Self-Reflection
 The Wild and Society
 Exploration

Writing Style

“Walking” has an autobiographical side, and reflects the author’s personal experiences. As Rebecca Solnit has stated in “Wanderlust: A History of Walking”, the rhythm of walking could be the sources of music, conversation, thoughts, and literature. In over ten years of walking, Thoreau kept observing nature, organizing his thought, and considering the best way to express his lecture; his diary shows what elements in his daily life influenced his environmental view and motivated him to write it. Above all, the author’s correspondence with friends provides not only his lecture career but also his works and his writing process. As a result, his essay is told by the voice of the confident narrator, given some authority. Moreover, using allusion, he succeeded in not only understanding the essay broader but also obtaining a form of poetry, and with his lecture and the new writing style, “Walking” became a new critique of the existing society.

Wellington Road (and Meechi Road at its south-eastern end) is a South Australian secondary road, connecting Mount Barker with the towns of Wistow, Highland Valley, Woodchester and  Langhorne Creek. Its north-western portion has been designated part of route B37.

History
Wellington Road previously served as an early alignment of the Princes Highway some time after it was first declared in South Australia in February 1922, initially defined along the route via now known as Strathalbyn Road from Adelaide via Aldgate, Mylor, Macclesfield, Strathalbyn, Langhorne Creek, crossing the Murray River at Wellington and then continuing along the present route beyond Meningie, By 1928, the route was re-aligned to run through Mount Barker and along Wellington Road via Wistow and Woodchester to Langhorne Creek, although by 1935 this alignment was changed to run via Nairne, Kanmantoo, Murray Bridge and Tailem Bend (along what is now known as the Old Princes Highway).

Tommy Rainone (born January 8, 1980) is an American professional boxer.

Early life

Rainone's love affair with boxing began at the age of seven. After watching Rocky for the first time, the Plainview Long Island native began to seek out a gym where he could pursue the sport that had suddenly captivated him. His search would prove fruitless until the age of 17 when he stepped into the Westbury Boxing Club. Boxing couldn't have entered his life at a more appropriate time in his life.

“There’s no question about it, I was definitely able to channel a lot of my anger as a youth into boxing."

Rainone was a troubled teen. He had been kicked out of several schools. After middle school, he was sent to live with his father on Staten Island. His father placed him in an all boys Staten Island Catholic School hoping the added structure would set the young man straight. It didn't work out as intended.

"You can’t take a kid who has been getting into trouble in public schools his whole life and put him in a Catholic school. I was a freshman at the time and it only took me about three months to get kicked out of that school. I went back to Long Island from there.

"My teenage years I was a very frustrated and angry person. I just had an attitude that the world was against me and boxing was an incredible outlet for me. Once I started getting into boxing I put the rest of the troublemaking off to the side and started really getting a little more focused with my life.”

Amateur career

Rainone's amateur career was brief, consisting of approximately 30 fights. In that short span he fought a variety of world class flyer including former welterweight world champion Luis Collazo and light-welterweight contender Francisco "El Gato" Figueroa.

"I had two fights so far and I had to fight a guy named Leon Hinds, who went on to be ranked number three in the nation. I didn’t know it at the time, but he had around 60 fights. Having to survive a storm like that so early in my career made me improve my defense. I was always matched tough, and it was always expected thing to get matched tough. I went to tournaments knowing I wasn’t going to get easy fights. As soon as they called my name, I pretty much rolled my eyes because I knew they were going to match me hard."

Still a young man, Rainone's focus was anything but unw.

"When I was in the amateurs, I cut a lot of corners. I was having a good time partying, going out and just being young but doing so while half assing it boxing. I stopped boxing a couple a months after turning 23 because I had to make a decision to either continue having fun or to get serious about boxing and i was not mature enough to take the sport serious at that stage in my life. I realized that I could no longer do both. I took a break from boxing deciding that i was threw with the amateurs and would return to the sport to turn pro if and when i was ready to take it serious, i started doing some traveling, lived life with out restriction and just enjoyed myself for three years."

Professional career

Rainone returned to boxing in 2006 after spending three and a half years away from the sport. He trained for six months before making his pro debut against ten-fight veteran Marquis McConnell at the Huntington Hilton Hotel in Melville. In front of a huge, supportive local crowd, Rainone boxed his way to a shutout victory.

"If you looked him up, he is now a light-heavyweight. It was the only time he fought at 147, he was naturally fighting at 160, and he cut the weight. By the time he got in the ring, he was back up to 160-165. He was a big guy."

After a second victory in December 2006 Rainone would start 2007 by winning two fights in a 5-day span followed by a third victory fifteen days later.

Rainone won his first 11 bouts. One of the highlights of his early career was performing in the legendary boxing venue The Blue Horizon in Philadelphia. Rainone won a unanimous decision over Jaime Morales that night.

He ran into his first setback in June 2008 when he dropped a controversial split decision to Manuel Guzman in Brooklyn. Rainone took the fight on two weeks notice. On the second day of training, Rainone sustained a cut under his left eye as the result of an elbow. He went to the hospital but was told he didn't need stitches. Being that he has great faith in his cutman George Mitchell and that the cut was not in a position that could affect his vision, he went forward with the fight. To stem the risk, the fight was reduced from six rounds to four.

"It was no walk in the park but there is no way I lost the fight," Rainone says. "Originally I pulled out of the fight but the promoter Tommy Gallagher wanted me to fight because I was going to sell a lot of tickets.

"My friend John Scully warned me 'if you get hit with a nothing jab, the cut is going to open up.' I started bleeding in the third round but I didn't think it would affect the judges. It was stupidity on my behalf to go into the fight with a cut. He's turned me down six times for a rematch."

His second loss came in his next fight - also a split decision - against Henry White Jr. in Melville. "He beat me fair and square. There was so much stress before this fight. I was in tremendous shape but mentally I wasn't prepared." After this fight he parted ways with his manager Luigi Olcese, whom he had been with for three fights.

Rainone returned to his winning ways in December 2008. To find a fight he flew all the way to his trainer's hometown of Benito Juárez, Buenos Aires, Argentina to face Santos Galli. Rainone won the first six rounds before stunning Galli the seventh with a left cross to the head, followed by a left to the body which put him down. Upon rising at the count of seven, Galli informed the ref that he had enough. "It was an amazing experience, they treated me like royalty there" said Rainone. "I will be going again to fight there, most likely."

Rainone unsuccessfully challenged for the New York State welterweight title in 2009.

Rainone still trains at the Westbury Boxing Gym under former fighter Jorge Gallardo. As a trainer, Gallardo guided the careers of Jake Rodríguez, leading him to the IBF junior welterweight title, and Willy Wise. Former IBF junior welterweight champion Jake Rodriguez has often assisted in Rainone's training and has worked his corner many times.

"Boxing is something that I have always dreamed of doing and I am doing it. Most people in this world make compromise after compromise in their lives until they're so far removed from their original dreams that they can barely remember what they were in the first place. A lot of people have dreams of being a firefighter, a baseball player, a movie star or musician but it doesn’t always work out like that because priorities get in the way, boxing was always a passion and priorities. If I accomplished nothing forward for the rest of my career in boxing at least I can say that I gave it my best shot and that I did what I always wanted to do.”

2010 was a milestone year for Rainone. He opened the year with a unanimous decision win over Gerardo Cesar Prieto at Madison Square Garden. Five months later he dropped a decision to Terry Butterbaugh on the first-ever boxing card at the new Yankee Stadium. The main event in the Bronx was a WBA 154-pound title fight between Yuri Foreman and Miguel Cotto televised by HBO.

Rainone then won all three of his fights in 2011 including a six-round unanimous decision win over Brad Jackson in Madison Square Garden. The main event that evening was also televised by HBO featured Nonito Donaire vs. Omar Narváez.

The following year consisted of four fights and three wins. The first fight was a decisive win in Staten Island, which gave Rainone the unique distinction of winning bouts in each of the five Boroughs. Rainone finished 2012 with a return to Long Island for his first fight there in over three years to score a unanimous 10-round win over former national amateur champion Robbie Cannon, winning the vacant IBA Americas title. Rainone dropped Cannon in the 1st and 9th rounds during the course of the bout.

Rainone fought only once in 2013, winning a six-round split decision over James Winchester at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York. Following his 2013 fight he returned to the ring in 2014 winning a 6-round unanimous decision over Jason Davis, in Long Island City, New York. On September 17 Rainone fought in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, walking away with a controversial split decision draw against Juan Carlos Santos. Rainone returned to the ring less than two months later on November 13, winning a 10-round unanimous decision over Carl McNickles at The Space at Westbury, Long Island New York. Rainone dropped Mcknickles in the third and sixth round, picking up the vacant USBO welterweight title with the victory.

Soon after his USBO victory, Rainone fought the biggest fight of his career to date. He headlined, Roc Nation Sports inaugural boxing event Throne Boxing. The fight took place at Madison Square Garden on January 9, 2015, and was televised live on Fox Sports 1 with Dusty Hernández-Harrison winning in a 10-round UD.

Rainone returned two months later to score a decisive knockout in the last round of his fight against Allen Litzau, which was televised on SportsNet New York. Rainone once again fought a televised fight on SportsNet New York at The Space at Westbury, this time defeating Francisco Javier Reza by unanimous decision. Rainone then went up in weight to challenge former IBF light middleweight champion Ishe Smith on December 13 of 2015 in Las Vegas at the Palms Casino Resort, coming up short in losing a 10 Round Decision. Three months later, Tommy started his 2016 by making his Atlantic City debut defeating veteran Maurice Chalmers in an 8-round decision.

Outside of boxing
Away from the ring Rainone is a supervisor for Hilton Hotels. "All of the revenue that comes into the hotel, from room revenue to food and beverages to meetings so on, I crunch those numbers every night, back out the taxes making sure everything adds up and balances which all is a part of my month end. I have to smile and be polite in the professional world, it's like night and day from my other job."

Rainone is godfather to former NABF Junior Welterweight Champion Gato Figueroa's son, Blake.

He is also close friends with horror movie writer, director, producer Frank Sabatella, who did the movie Blood Night: The Legend of Mary Hatchet. Frank has done Rainone's promo pictures and fight posters since 2006.

Tommy has been self-managed his entire career and also manages welterweight Rich Neves.

Rainone is a cast member of the Off Broadway boxing play, Kid Shamrock, appearing in the production in the winter of 2011 and the summer of 2012. He was also a judge, along with Harold Lederman and Michael Bentt at the first annual Shadow Box Film Festival, the all boxing film fest.

Clachnaharry (; ) is a former fishing village, now part of the city of Inverness in the Highland council area of Scotland. Clachnaharry is situated on the south shore of the Beauly Firth, about  west of the city centre.

The village was often wrongly said to have derived its name from the Gaelic Clach na Faire, 'watchman's stone' which refers to nearby rocks used as a look out post by the townsfolk of Inverness. The recent book "The Gaelic Place Names and Heritage of Inverness" by Roddy Maclean, however, has pointed out the name in fact derives from Clach na h-Aithrigh, Stone of Repentance.

The Caledonian Canal begins at Clachnaharry, connecting to the Beauly Firth via a sea lock. The Far North Line also passes through, crossing the canal on a swing bridge. Clachnaharry used to have a railway station. This station opened in 1869 on the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway, and was the first stop after leaving Inverness, but closed in 1913.

A monument here commemorates the Battle of Clachnaharry between the Clan Munro and the Clan Chattan in 1454.

The Black Gauntlet: A Tale of Plantation Life in South Carolina (also known as simply The Black Gauntlet) is an anti-Tom novel written in 1860 by Mary Howard Schoolcraft, published under her married name of Mrs. Henry Rowe Schoolcraft.

Background
Mary Howard (1820–1878) was born into the planter slaveholding elite of South Carolina. She was the second wife of the widower and ethnologist Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, who was 53 when they married in 1846. They lived in Washington, DC.

The Black Gauntlet is an example of the pro-slavery plantation literature genre that was written in response to the anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) by Harriet Beecher Stowe.  Critics accused Stowe of exaggerating (or inaccurately depicting) Southern society, slaveholders, slaves and the institution of slavery in the South.

The Black Gauntlet is unusual as a late example, as the majority were written and published soon after Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1852. The competing novels were part of the public, rhetorical arguments between North and South in the years of rising political and social tensions before the American Civil War.

Plot
Unlike other anti-Tom novels, The Black Gauntlet does not have a discernible narrative. It is essentially a collection of speeches by characters who argue for American slavery as an institution. Some of the speeches were created by Schoolcraft. In other cases, she refers to quotations from other published works, including the Bible and Uncle Tom's Cabin.

In other works
Schoolcraft's work used quotes which had also appeared in Aunt Phillis's Cabin (1852) by Mary Henderson Eastman, a native Virginian.

Gregory Allen Reeves (born ) is an American bass guitarist. He is best known for playing bass on Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's album Déjà Vu (1970).

Early life
Reeves grew up in Warren, Ohio, and graduated from Warren Western Reserve High School in 1968. In an interview, bandmate Dallas Taylor spoke of a rumor that Reeves was as young as 15 years old when he joined CSNY. While Reeves acknowledged having a fake ID and being "very young" while with CSNY, Rolling Stone stated his age as 19 in a December 1969 article.

Career

Motown
Reeves had been scouted as a session musician at the age of 12 by Motown Records and Chess Records, although his mother "would not hear of" him playing professionally at that age. By 1968, however, Reeves was employed as a session bassist at Motown. During the recording session for The Temptations' "Cloud Nine," Reeves was apprehensive about his bass playing and switched to tambourine at the behest of producer Norman Whitfield, his recruiter and main benefactor at Motown. During this period, Reeves was also mentored by other Motown musicians, including Rick James (who concurrently played alongside Reeves in Salt 'n' Pepa, a Los Angeles rock group formed from the remnants of Merryweather) and James Jamerson. Reeves stated that his most notable performance for the company was the bass part (overdubbed in Los Angeles) of "No Matter What Sign You Are," the final song recorded by Diana Ross with The Supremes.

Work with CSNY
Reeves recorded and toured with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young from August 1969 to January 1970 and is credited on the cover of their 1970 Déjà Vu album; he appears with the group in the concert documentary Celebration at Big Sur (filmed in September 1969) and in contemporaneous television appearances on This Is Tom Jones and The Music Scene.

Reeves was living with mentor Rick James in Los Angeles when he was recruited for CSNY:

In consultation with other band members, Stephen Stills fired Reeves from the group in April 1970 "because [Reeves] suddenly decided he was an Apache witch doctor." Stills further opined that Reeves "freaked too much on the bass and no one could keep up because [he] did not play one rhythm the same. He could play bass imaginatively, but he has to be predictable as well," while Reeves also wanted to sing some of his songs during CSN&Y shows, which Stills thought was "ludicrous, only because the songs weren't great. We'll sing any song if it's great, but not just because it happens to be written by our bass player." Dallas Taylor (who seldom fraternized with Reeves and was dismissed from the group a month later at the instigation of Neil Young) later noted that while Reeves and Stills did not get along, Reeves and Young were good friends. Following Reeves's termination, Young defied his bandmates and continued to collaborate with Reeves. Reeves has alleged that the "bass hook" of one of his songs was appropriated by Stills for the main riff of "Carry On." Heeding the advice of James, he demurred from pursuing the issue after receiving a profit point on Déjà Vu. Although he has conceded that "[the band] thought I was trying to put spells on them" due to his trenchant interest in Native American shamanism, Reeves ultimately ascribed his termination to "Stills [having] a problem with himself, just dealing with himself."

Post CSNY
Reeves's song "I Got Your Number" has been recorded by such artists as Tom Jones, Boz Scaggs, and Johnny Bristol. Reeves was incarcerated in Mexico from September 1977 to April 1978, saying that he "spent time... with the Mexican president's nephew as a political prisoner, because we had tried to smuggle marijuana across the border... Neil Young sent me money (via Western Union) to pay the Mexican police (Judicial Government Police) for my freedom."

His 1978 $1 million lawsuit pertaining to unpaid CSN&Y royalties was eventually settled amicably. In the aftermath of his tenure with the group, Reeves nevertheless contributed in earnest to several projects, including most of Neil Young's After the Gold Rush, Crosby & Nash's eponymous debut ("Immigration Man"; 1972), Dave Mason's It's Like You Never Left (1973), an unreleased version of "Tonight's the Night" recorded by Young in early 1974, and indeterminate recordings with George Clinton following the temporary dissolution of Parliament Funkadelic in the early 1980s. Nils Lofgren claimed that during one of the sessions for After the Gold Rush, Reeves appeared covered head to toe in gold paint; Young explained the bassist was "doin' his Indian thing."

Reeves was briefly interviewed by author Jimmy McDonough for Shakey, a 2003 biography of Neil Young. Both Young and Lofgren continue to laud Reeves's playing style, noting his versatility and ability to move fluidly between simple and complex bass lines.

Salvatore "Turi" Ferro (10 January 1921 – 10 May 2001) was an Italian film, television and stage actor. He is considered the most important actor in the Sicilian theatre post-World War II era.

Life and career
Born in Catania, Ferro launched his own theatrical company in 1953 alongside his wife, actress Ida Carrara. He later staged a great number of works by Sicilian authors. He was one of the co-founders of the Teatro Stabile di Catania. His stage credits include works directed by Roberto Rossellini and Giorgio Strehler.

From the early 1970s he started appearing in RAI Television, in appreciated and successful TV-series. His film career is less prolific (he appeared in only 33 films between 1962 and 1998), but includes notable roles in popular titles as the Mafioso of The Seduction of Mimi and "Ignazio" of Malizia. In 1974 he received a special David di Donatello for "the value and success of his performances".

The film director Lina Wertmüller referred to him as "the greatest Sicilian actor after Angelo Musco". He died of a myocardial infarction.

Mieh Mieh refugee camp () is a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, located on the outskirts of Mieh Mieh village in the hills  east of the southern city of Sidon. The original refugees in the camp generally came from Saffourieh, Tiereh, Haifa and Miron, in what is now Israel. It was established in 1954 on land leased from private landowners of the Miye ou Miye village. Around the 1990s, the Mieh Mieh camp was located on 60 dunams (15 acres) in Miye ou Miye village. Today, the camp is 1.8 times that size at 108 dunams (27 acres). In 2003, it had a population of 5,037.

During the Lebanese Civil War, 15% of the camp's shelters, as well as the United Nations Relief and Works Agency school and distribution center were destroyed.

On 4 July 1991, following the failure of disarmament negotiations, as required by the Taif agreement, the Lebanese Army attacked Palestinian positions in Southern Lebanon. The offensive, involving 10,000 troops against an estimated 5,000 militia, lasted 3 days and ended with the Army taking all the Palestinian positions around Sidon. In the agreement that followed all heavy weapons were surrendered and infantry weapons only allowed in the two refugee camps, Ain al-Hilweh and Mieh Mieh. 73 people were killed in the fighting, and 200 wounded, mostly Palestinian.

The socio-economic situation of the refugees is described by the UNRWA as "extremely difficult". Men find work as daily-paid laborers on construction sites and in orchards. Women work in orchards, in embroidery workshops and as cleaners. All shelters are supplied with water through a network connected to the Agency's water plant. Al-Najdeh Al-Sha'bieh is the only NGO active in Mieh Mieh and provides house decorating courses for Palestinian youths. There are two UNRWA elementary/preparatory schools in the camp, which had an enrollment of 1,020 pupils in 2003/04.

Two people were killed in a gun battle in Mieh Mieh camp on 21 March 2009. Kamal Naji (also known as Kamal Medhat), the deputy head of the Palestine Liberation Organisation in Lebanon, visited the camp to calm the situation on 23 March 2009. Shortly after leaving the camp, a roadside bomb killed him and three others, close to Mieh Mieh.

Clashes between Hezbollah-linked Ansar Allah and the Fatah movement broke out at the camp on 15 October 2018 resulting in a siege of the Ansar Allah zone in the camp and the flight of many residents from the camp. A deal to end the clashes and restore stability and normal life in the camp was brokered by Hezbollah (though Hamas also claims credit for negotiating the deal) in early November 2018. The clashes had left four people dead and 30 others wounded, and caused huge damage to properties. Under the deal, o 7 November 2018, Ansar Allah Secretary-General Jamal Suleiman was evacuated from the Mieh Mieh refugee camp to Syria, along with 20 family members and bodyguards, under and supervised by the Amal movement and Hezbollah. Ansar Allah was founded in the 1990s by Jamal Suleiman who had been a Fatah activist but gravitated to align himself with Hezbollah and the Amal movement during the Lebanese Civil War.

.paris is a top-level domain for the city of Paris, France. It was introduced in June 2008 by ICANN, and the first 100 ".paris" web addresses were assigned in mid-2014.

At the time of launch, domain names corresponding to Parisian places (streets, squares, etc.) were reserved for the authorities concerned. Others, very generic, were blocked without the registry having yet made a decision on the allocation method.

From September to November 2014, the rightful owners of trademarks (protected, company names, names of French municipalities...) were given priority in registering .paris domain names. It was also possible to register, without having any particular rights, domain names before the general public opening at a higher rate, or even at auction if several candidates coveted the same domain name.

Since December 2, 2014, .paris is open to the general public. The available domain names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Horace Anthony Baker (1 September 1910 – 1 March 1974) was an English footballer who played at outside-right for Port Vale, Tranmere Rovers, Shrewsbury Town and Southport. He younger brother, Frank, was also a professional footballer.

Early and personal life
Horace Anthony Baker was the son of a former Fenton Town player and four of his brothers also played football, including the youngest Frank, who went on to play for Stoke City. Baker worked as a bus conductor prior to World War II and was working as a spot-welder when he died of a heart attack during his sleep on 1 March 1974.

Career
Baker played for Longton Hall, before joining Port Vale as an amateur in March 1932, signing professional forms two months later. He made seven Second Division appearances in the 1932–33 season, scoring one goal in a 4–0 win over Notts County at the Old Recreation Ground on 20 March. He featured just three times in the 1933–34 season, and was given a free transfer to Tranmere Rovers in May 1934. Tranmere finished sixth and third in the Third Division North in 1934–35 and 1935–36; Baker played 23 league games at Prenton Park, scoring ten goals. He later played for Shrewsbury Town, scoring 30 goals in the Birmingham League from outside-right. He went on to sign with Southport, where he scored on his league debut against Accrington Stanley.

Men's ice hockey tournaments have been staged at the Olympic Games since 1920. The men's tournament was introduced at the 1920 Summer Olympics, and permanently added to the Winter Olympic Games in 1924. Canada has participated in 21 of 23 tournaments, sending 38 goaltenders and 307 skaters.

For the first 40 years of the tournament, Canada did not have a national team, instead choosing to send a club team, typically the Allan Cup winner. In 1960, the Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen became the final club team to represent Canada at the Olympics. In 1962, Canada implemented a national team program, led by Father David Bauer. Between 1920 and 1952, seven Olympic ice hockey tournaments were held and Canada won six gold medals and a silver in 1936. The Soviet Union began competing in 1956 and frequently defeated the Canadian team. The Soviets won seven gold medals in nine tournaments; during that period Canada won a silver and two bronze medals. The Olympic Games were originally intended for amateur athletes, so the players of the National Hockey League (NHL) and other professional leagues were not allowed to compete. Many of Canada's top players were professional, so the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) pushed for the ability to use professional and amateur players. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) refused, and Canada withdrew from the 1972 and 1976 Olympics in protest. In 1986, the IOC voted to allow all athletes to compete in Olympic Games, starting in 1988. The NHL decided not to allow all players to participate in 1988, 1992 or 1994, because doing so would force the league to halt play during the Olympics. An agreement was reached in 1995 that allowed NHL players to compete in the Olympics, starting with the 1998 Games in Nagano, Japan. National teams are co-ordinated by Hockey Canada and players are chosen by the team's management staff. In 2018, NHL players were not allowed to participate.

Canada has won nine gold, four silver and two bronze medals in men's ice hockey, more than any other nation. Seventeen players have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, twelve into the IIHF Hall of Fame and eight into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. The Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame has inducted three individuals and five gold medal winning teams: the 1920 Winnipeg Falcons, 1948 RCAF Flyers, 1952 Edmonton Mercurys and the 2002 and 2010 national teams. Two players—Martin Brodeur and Chris Pronger—have played on four teams. Nine others—Rob Blake, Adam Foote, Jarome Iginla, Eric Lindros, Roberto Luongo, Terry O'Malley, Rick Nash, Joe Sakic and Wally Schreiber—have played on three teams. According to the IOC database, 252 men have won medals; 15 players—Brodeur, Patrice Bergeron, Sidney Crosby, Drew Doughty, Ryan Getzlaf, Iginla, Duncan Keith, Roberto Luongo, Patrick Marleau, Nash, Scott Niedermayer, Corey Perry, Pronger, Jonathan Toews and Shea Weber—have won two gold medals. Eight others players—Lindros, Schreiber, Fabian Joseph, Brad Schlegel, Paul Kariya, Ken Laufman, Floyd Martin and Donald Rope—have won two medals. Chris Pronger holds the record for most games played, having dressed for 25 games in four Olympics between 1998 and 2010. Wally Schreiber is second in games played, with 24 games in 1988, 1992 and 1994. Harry Watson leads Canadian Olympians in goals, having scored 36 goals in 1924 (before assists were counted); Walter Halder scored 29 points (21 goals and 8 assists) in 1948; and Ken Laufman recorded 14 assists in 1956 and 1960.
