Celtic Ash (1957–1978) was an English-bred Thoroughbred racehorse raised in Ireland who is best known for winning the 1960 Belmont Stakes.

Background
Celtic Ash was a bay horse bred by Lord Harrington. He was out of the mare Ash Plant and sired by Sicambre, the Leading sire in France in 1966. On the advice of Irish-born trainer Tom Barry, Celtic Ash was purchased by Boston, Massachusetts banker Joseph E. O'Connell, who imported him to the United States to race for his Green Dunes Farm.

Racing career
At age two, Celtic Ash made three starts without winning, then at three made a total of six starts. He was not entered in the Kentucky Derby but won two minor races at Laurel Park Racecourse, in one of which he set a new track record time for one mile.   He was then entered in the May 14, 1960, Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the U.S. Triple Crown series. Under jockey Sam Boulmetis, longshot Celtic Ash finished third behind runner-up Victoria Park and winner Bally Ache.

Unlike today, the $100,000 added Jersey Derby at Monmouth Park Racetrack was run between the Preakness and the third leg of the U.S. Triple Crown. The New Jersey race regularly drew the top three-year-olds and more than 50,000 fans attended on Memorial Day 1960 to see Celtic Ash, under future U.S. Racing Hall of Fame jockey Bill Hartack, finish third behind Bally Ache and Tompion. Hartack had ridden Venetian Way to victory in the Kentucky Derby but had been criticized for his ride on the colt after he finished fifth in the Preakness Stakes. After the Jersey Derby, Hartack accepted trainer Tom Barry's offer to ride Celtic Ash again in the upcoming Belmont Stakes.

1960 Belmont stakes
The day prior to the Belmont Stakes, betting favorite Bally Ache came up lame and was withdrawn from the 1½ mile third leg of the Triple Crown. His absence left Venetian Way ridden by Eddie Arcaro, as the favorite. However, winning the Belmont Stakes with an underdog was nothing new for Celtic Ash's owner, Joseph O'Connell. Two years earlier in 1958, he and trainer Tom Barry won the Classic with the lightly raced Irish-bred colt Cavan. On June 11, 1960, O'Connell was in a Brighton, Massachusetts, hospital and watched on television as Hartack brought his colt from last place to overtake Venetian Way in the stretch, then pull away to win easily by five and a half lengths. O'Connell did not recover from his illness and died less than a month later.

Stud record
Retired to stud duty, Celtic Ash stood in the United States from 1962 through 1964. He was then sent to Great Britain, where he stood until 1971. There, he notably sired Athens Wood, who won the 1971 St. Leger Stakes, and Hoche, winner of the 1972 Premio Presidente della Repubblica. He was also the grandsire of 1998 Grand National winner Earth Summit. Sold in 1971 to a Japanese breeding operation, Celtic Ash died in Japan at age twenty-one in 1978.

Irumbukkottai Murattu Singam () is a 2010 Indian Tamil-language Western comedy film directed by Chimbu Deven, starring choreographer-turned-actor Raghava Lawrence in a double role alongside , Padmapriya, Lakshmi Rai, and Sandhya alongside an ensemble supporting cast including Nassar, Sai Kumar, and M. S. Baskar. The film is a "western adventure comedy film" based on cowboy stories, which is set in the 19th century paying homages to many western films. The film's shooting commenced in April 2009 and was released on 7 May 2010 to mixed reviews. The film comically highlights the current world politics.

Plot
The town of Jayshankarapuram, home of Tamil-speaking cowboys, is ruled by a one-eyed tyrant named Kizhakku Kattai (literally translating to East Wood as in Clint Eastwood), who rules over other villages as well, and is always surrounded by his assistants: a cowgirl named Pakki and an outlaw named Ulakkai. In order to free their town from Kattai's rule, Bilagiri James, Dagelandi, Jada, and Viruma travel to a neighboring town, sholaypuram, to seek out a savior.

There, they encounter Singaram, a man with a noble heart who has been sentenced to death for duty negligence. The gang saves Singaram from execution and explains their situation. Singaram learns why he was chosen. The brave Singam was the previous marshal of Jayashankarapuram who bore a striking resemblance to Singaram, and also was the only one who stood up to Kattai's tyranny. Singam disappeared under mysterious circumstances years ago, and the town was left defenseless.

Thus, Singaram is brought to the village and is passed off as Singam. Singaram learns to adapt to his new name, learning all the hero's skills and tricks. He wins the respect of the village seniors, which includes Paandu Paramu and Keluthi Amma. Soon, a girl named Baali falls for Singaram. He later surpasses the original hero's prowess, though initially, it is due to dumb luck. In between the hero's and the villain's camp is a Red Indian village where the tribals are pure vegetarians. With the introduction of this village, Athirikesa, the leader of the tribal group, his father Rangula, and his beautiful daughter Thumbi are also introduced.

The villagers at Jayashankarapuram find a map that is hidden in their "MGR Timesquare", but it is only one half they have. They have to find the other half to hunt for treasure that is preserved and hidden somewhere far away. Unfortunately, Kattai has other plans. He negotiates a deal of freeing prisoners in exchange of the treasure.  Singaram and the folks find the treasure in an Indiana Jones-esque adventure. They successfully find the treasure and escape the cave. But, it is revealed that Dagelandy is a right-hand man of Kattai, who was spying Singaram's gang all along. Kattai also reveals that he killed Singam a few years ago and challenges Singaaram to a duel in front of the people. While Kattai gains the upper hand initially, the thought of Singam's death in the hands of Kattai infuriates Singaram and he starts beating up Kattai. Kattai is eventually shot dead by Pakki, out of her love for Singaram and she leaves the place with her cronies. Peace prevails within Jayshankarpuram's inhabitants and the red Indians.

Singaram is hailed as a hero in Jayshankarapuram and is presented with a large diamond and a platter of gold coins of the treasure as a reward by the people. However, Singaram declines the gold coins for the diamond, instead asking the people to use the coins to build a school for the children, while stating that education is important and is to be imparted to all. He is given a heartful farewell by the people and rides off. On the way, Baali stops him saying that while he took the diamond, he was leaving his "life" behind. Singaram smiles and they both ride off in the sunset.

Release & reception
The film was dubbed into Hindi by Goldmines Telefilms.

Sify wrote "Hats off in cowboy style to writer and director Chimbudevan for doing such good research and bringing about authenticity to his plot and acknowledging great western legendary films of the 60?s and 70?s. But if only he had worked out a better script, it would have been a great fun ride". Behindwoods wrote "Simbu Devan should certainly be applauded for giving the audience an all new experience and his hard work is palpable. On the flipside, he does not engage the audience completely and loses his grip on them on and off. There are times when the film appears outright childish. The screen play meanders a while and there is a jump of genre here and there".

Louis Sauveur, Marquis de Villeneuve was French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1728 to 1741. He was instrumental in pushing the Ottoman Empire to war with the Russian Empire, in the Russo-Turkish War (1735–1739). He was also put in charge of negotiating the peace to this war, managing to impose unfavourable conditions on the Austrians, as a result, the 1739 Peace of Belgrade was extremely favourable to the Ottomans, thanks to Villeneuve's intervention.

During his service de Villeneuve made a point to learn more about the Ottoman madrasa system, the religious educational institution that had been operating in the Empire continuously since its establishment in 1330 by Orhan Gazi. Submitting the request to the Ottoman Foreign Ministry, de Villeneuve was presented with the Seven Stars curriculum (Kevakib-i Seb'a). This curriculum, of unknown authorship, expressed regrets that Islamic scholars had not made greater inroads into Christian countries where they were widely regarded as ignorant and superstitious. The Seven Stars curriculum presented to de Villeneuve aimed to overcome language barriers and improve the image of the Islamic world in the West.

"Do You See the Light (Looking For)" is a song by German Eurodance group Snap!, released in May 1993 as the fourth and final single from their second studio album, The Madman's Return (1992). It features American singer Niki Haris and received positive rewiews from music critics. Many of them were comparing it to the work of Giorgio Moroder. The song reached number one in Finland, while peaking within the top 10 in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK. On MTV Europe, its accompanying music video received heavy rotation.

Background and release
The original version of the song "See the Light" features vocals by Thea Austin, a rap by Turbo B, and can be found on the 1992 Snap! album, The Madman's Return. Female vocals of this version of the song are often mistakenly reported to be by Penny Ford, a previous vocalist for Snap!. Remixes of "See the Light" were included on Snap!'s 1992 release "Rhythm Is a Dancer", which also feature vocals by Thea Austin.

This song is essentially a remix of their original song, "See the Light" with new lyrics written for the new front-woman Niki Haris, released in June 1993. "Do You See the Light (Snap! vs Plaything)", another remix, was released in August 2002.

Chart performance
"Do You See the Light (Looking For)" was a sizeable hit on the charts in Europe, becoming one of the group's more successful songs. It peaked at number one in Finland and entered the top 10 in Austria (8), Belgium (5), Denmark (9), Ireland (9), the Netherlands (9), Switzerland (10) and the United Kingdom. In the latter, the single peaked at number 10 during its first week on the UK Singles Chart on 6 June 1993. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached number nine, while reaching number three on the European Dance Radio Chart. Additionally, the song was a top-20 hit in Germany (13), Italy (12) and Sweden (20), and a top-40 hit in France (40). Outside Europe, "Do You See the Light (Looking For)" peaked at number 86 in Australia.

Critical reception
In his review of the song, Larry Flick from Billboard felt that "someone has clearly been listening very carefully to those great old Giorgio Moroder  records. Syncopated synth rhythms à la "The Chase" are plentiful on this bracing, rave-friendly romp." Arion Berger from Entertainment Weekly praised it as the album’s "finest moment", describing it as "lilting" and "as lush as Soul II Soul's best work, and even the sequences of mush-mouthed rapping can't dull its gloss." Music writer and columnist James Masterton stated, "With a bassline reminiscent of "I Feel Love" it is already a club smash". The Stud Brothers from Melody Maker also viewed the melody and beat as "an unabashed rip-off" of "I Feel Love", noting its "jubilant lyrics". Pan-European magazine Music & Media found that "this eagerly anticipated successor to the hugely successful "Exterminate!" is a bit different from previous efforts, mainly because it's somewhat ambient. It's extremely recognisable, though, and with a liberal dash of Giorgio Moroder era Donna Summer, it's likely to do very well on both the dancefloor and the airwaves."

Alan Jones from Music Week rated the track four out of five, naming it Pick of the Week. He complimented the new singer, Niki Haris, that "has settled in extraordinary well", and described it as "another typically tense and NRG-etically smacking workout (shades of Giorgio Moroder abound), with enough melody in the haunting title refrain to make it another winner over the store counter as well as on the nation's dancefloors." Ian McCann from NME wrote, "The music, sampling what sounds suspiciously like Frankie's 'Two Tribes', is not so much modern dance as an attempted revival of the '70s Euro disco of Giorgio Moroder, minus the subtlety." Tim Jeffery from the RM Dance Update commented, "Introed by a very pop vocal and launching into a throbbing Hi-NRG grove, this is more commercial than their normal material. The production is a little lightweight, with the emphasis more on the melody than the bass and rhythm." He added, "Sure to be a chart hit, but not so big in the clubs as "Rhythm Is a Dancer"." Sian Pattenden from Smash Hits gave "Do You See the Light (Looking For)" three out of five, describing it as "a Hi-NRG disco-type thing with no stupid rhymes."

Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single, featuring Niki Haris. It is composed of a series of scenes of nature, opening with a desert landscape in sunrise. As the day continues, clouds are moving through the sky. In the middle of the picture is a constant golden frame, where Harris performs in. It appears throughout the whole video and she is surrounded by many lit candles. As the video ends, the sun goes down over the desert again. It received heavy rotation on MTV Europe.

St John the Evangelist's Church is an Anglican church in the Preston Village area of Brighton, in the English city of Brighton and Hove.  The Grade II listed building, designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield, was started in 1901 but did not take its present form for another quarter of a century.  In the meantime, the nearby parish church of Preston was severely damaged by fire, and the new church was granted the parish church status which it still retains.

History
The village of Preston was established on a downland site  north-northwest of Brighton before the time of the Domesday Book of 1086.  St Peter's Church was its original parish church.  No trace remains of the building mentioned in the Domesday Book: it was rebuilt in about 1260 in flint with a chancel, nave and tower.  The village, based around a crossroads and a manor house, Preston Manor, became part of the Borough of Brighton on 31 October 1873.

The Stanford family, who owned most of the land in the area, sold it for residential development in the mid-1860s.  Rapid growth ensued, and the old church became inadequate for the increasing population.  In 1899, the new vicar proposed extending the church, but the church council and local people felt that altering the ancient building would be inappropriate.  Instead, the decision was taken to build a new church on land occupied by the garden of the vicarage.

Work began quickly: the site, at the junction of Preston Road and Knoyle Road, was prepared in the summer of 1901, and the Bishop of Chichester Ernest Roland Wilberforce laid the foundation stone on 16 October 1901.  Sir Arthur Blomfield designed the church, and the Crawley-based building firm of James Longley built it.  Construction work continued into the next year; the church officially opened after it was dedicated on 26 October 1902.

At the time, St Peter's Church still held its ancient status as the parish church of Preston.  However, after it was devastated by a serious fire on 23 June 1906, the church authorities decided to transfer parish church status to St John the Evangelist's Church.  This was completed at the end of 1908.

A temporary church hall made of iron existed until 1913, when a permanent hall was completed.  In 1927, a parishioner donated money for another hall to be built next to it.  The previous year, the church itself had been extended with the addition of a chancel.

Architecture
Sir Arthur Blomfield designed the church in the Early English style.  It is very long: it has a nave of 5¼ bays, and there is only a slight change in the roofline to the chancel beyond it.  At the east end of the nave, where the roof profile changes, there is a small flèche made of wood and lead.  The exterior is stone, faced with rock and dressed with stone blocks.  The roof is tiled.

The church has a chancel, chancel arch, nave with aisles on the north and south sides, vestry at the northeast corner, baptistery, buttressed narthex (entered from the nave through arches in the buttresses, beneath an overall arch and tympanum) and clerestories above the aisles.  Both the aisles and the clerestories have five pairs of lancet windows.  Interior features include a sedilia, organ chamber, choir stalls, chancel screen, ornate multi-sided pulpit with green marble work, stone reredos designed as a triptych and depicting the Ascension of Jesus, and a marble font depicting an angel kneeling with a shell.

The church today

St John the Evangelist's Church was listed at Grade II by English Heritage on 26 August 1999.  It is one of 1,124 Grade II-listed buildings and structures, and 1,218 listed buildings of all grades, in the city of Brighton and Hove.

The parish was extended in the early 21st century after the closure of St Augustine's Church, which opened in 1896 on Stanford Avenue at the south end of Preston Park.  It was declared redundant in 2002 and its parish joined St John the Evangelist's.  The parish is officially named "St John with St Augustine and St Saviour", as St Augustine's former parish was itself extended in the 1980s to absorb that of St Saviour's Church – an 1886 church on the west side of Ditchling Road, at the junction of Round Hill Road (at ), which was closed in 1981 and demolished two years later.  The parish boundaries are the railway line between Preston Park station and New England Road, Viaduct Road, Ditchling Road, Preston Drove, Osborne Road, Balfour Road, Surrenden Road, Peacock Lane and London Road.

Major-General Hugh Richard Dawnay, 8th Viscount Downe,  (20 July 1844 – 21 January 1924) was a British Army general and President of the Marylebone Cricket Club.

Early life
Dawnay was the second son of William Dawnay, 7th Viscount Downe and his wife Mary Isabel Bagot, daughter of Richard Bagot, Bishop of Bath and Wells. One younger brother, Lewis Payn Dawnay, was MP for Thirsk and another, Guy Cuthbert Dawnay, traveller and soldier, was MP for the North Riding of Yorkshire, 1882-85.

In 1857, Dawnay succeeded his father, who died in his forties. He was educated at Eton College and attended Christ Church, Oxford.

Career
Lord Downe was an officer in the 2nd Regiment of Life Guards, where he was promoted to captain on 25 June 1873. He fought in the Anglo-Zulu War in 1879, for which he was mentioned in despatches. He was Lieutenant-Colonel of the 10th Hussars between 1887 and 1892. From 1899 to March 1900 he served as a staff officer in the Second Boer War in South Africa, where he was deputed to accompany the military attachés representing foreign powers. He was mentioned in despatches twice, in a despatch dated 31 March 1900 the Commander-in-Chief Lord Roberts stated that he "discharged his duties with tact and discretion". He was then appointed in command of a brigade of Imperial Yeomanry.

After his return to the United Kingdom, Lord Downe was in March 1901 asked by King Edward VII to take part in a special diplomatic mission to announce the King's accession to the governments of Belgium, Bavaria, Italy, Württemberg, and The Netherlands.

In July 1901 he was promoted to the temporary rank of Brigadier general on the Staff to command the Cavalry Brigade at the Curragh, where training for fighting in South Africa took place. In December 1901 her received the local rank of major-general whilst so employed. He retired from the army on 30 July 1902, and was granted the honorary rank of major-general.

Lord Downe was the author of a 1902 report to inquire into the working of the British Army Remount Department in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The report, which was especially critical of the supply of horses during the preceding war in South Africa, was published in a government blue-book with other such reports (Cd.995).

In early 1903 Lord Downe was appointed a Special Envoy deputized by the King to travel to Iran to present the Shah with the insignia of the Order of the Garter.

Honours
Downe was created Baron Dawnay, of Danby in the North Riding of the County of York, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, on 24 July 1897 and subsequently sat in the House of Lords (his inherited viscountcy was Irish and did not give him this right). He was invested as a Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) in 1886, and Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in 1900 for services in South Africa. He was appointed a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) in the November 1902 Birthday Honours list, and promoted to a Knight Commander of the same order (KCVO) by King Edward VII on 18 December 1902.

Cricket
A cricketer he played for I Zingari and the MCC, playing in the Aborigines v MCC test at Lord's in 1868 in the first tour of England by an Australian team. He became President of the MCC in 1872

Personal life
On 12 July 1869, Lord Downe was married to Lady Cecilia Maria Charlotte Molyneux (1838–1910), the only daughter of Charles Molyneux, 3rd Earl of Sefton and the former Mary Augusta Gregge-Hopwood (only daughter of Robert Gregge-Hopwood of Hopwood Hall). They had five children:

 John Dawnay, 9th Viscount Downe (1872–1931), who married Dorothy ffolkes, daughter of Sir William ffolkes, 3rd Baronet.
 Hon. Beryl Dawnay (1873–1950), who married Sir Archibald Henry Campbell, son of George Campbell.
 Hon. Norah Dawnay (1874–1947), who died unmarried.
 Major Hon. Hugh Dawnay (1875–1914), who was killed in action in World War I near Ypres in November 1914. He was married to Lady Susan de la Poer Beresford, daughter of politician John Beresford, 5th Marquess of Waterford. They had four sons who were all career military officers, including Commandant of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and British Army general Maj-Gen Sir David Dawnay.
 Hon. Faith Dawnay (1877–1952), who died unmarried.

After Lady Downe's death, he remarried on 27 July 1911 to Florence Faith Dening, a daughter of Rev. Thomas Henry Dening, the Vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Kilburn.  Lord Downe died on 21 January 1924.  After his death, his widow remarried to Rev. Arthur Maxwell Bury, Vicar of Loose, Maidstone, on 15 April 1931.

Torpedo Bay is a 1963 war film directed by Charles Frend and Bruno Vailati and starring James Mason. The story is based on events that took place at Betasom, a submarine base established at Bordeaux by the Italian Navy during World War II.

The film was released as Beta Som, the Italian language acronym meaning Bordeaux Sommergibile. Phonetically B (for Bordeaux) is Beta and SOM is an abbreviation for 'Sommergibile' which is the Italian for submarine.  In the United States American International Pictures released it as a double feature with Commando (1964).

Plot
An Italian submarine captain (Gabriele Ferzetti) tries to navigate his sub through enemy waters whilst being stalked by a British commander (James Mason). The Italian sub manages to make it into the neutral port of Tangiers, Morocco followed by the British commander. During their stay, the two captains agree not to fight. They come to respect each other. Eventually the Italian sub leaves port after the Captain accuses his lover (Lilli Palmer) of spying. The British commander follows, but ends up losing his ship to the Italian's torpedoes.

Sydney Gething Caulton (1895 – 23 August 1976) was a British bishop who spent much of his career in New Zealand and the South Pacific.

A graduate of St Chad's College, Durham University, where he gained his M.A., Caulton was made a deacon in Liverpool in 1922 and ordained priest there the next year, and remained there until 1930 when he became a missionary in the Diocese of Melanesia.

He arrived in New Zealand in 1937, with his wife and son, to become Vicar of Whakatane, and then Vicar of St Peter's, Onehunga. He was inducted Vicar of St Mary's, and installed (ex officio) as Dean of Auckland in February 1946. On 2 February 1948, he was consecrated a bishop by Cecil Cherrington, Bishop of Waikato, at St Mary's, and based himself in the New Hebrides (now Vanuatu). On completion of his time as Bishop of Melanesia (March 1954) he became Vicar of Northcote, then St George, Epsom, New Zealand (and Assistant Bishop of Auckland, 1955–1964) before his return to England as Assistant Bishop of Southwark (1964–68); in 1969 he lived in Auckland again.

Transmorphers: Fall of Man (also known as Transmorphers II) is a 2009 American science fiction film directed by Scott Wheeler and produced by The Asylum, It is a prequel to the 2007 film Transmorphers.

As the title suggests, this film is a mockbuster of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The plot, however, borrows from the 2007 Transformers film, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and Maximum Overdrive. Unlike Transformers, the film was released directly to DVD with an R-rating in the United States and a 15 rating in the United Kingdom.

Plot
Taking place 300 years prior to the events of the first film in the then-present-day 2009, the narrator describes how the government knew what was happening. A woman is seen driving recklessly on a California highway while arguing over her cell phone. Police officer Ryan Hadley pulls her over and gives her a warning. The man calls her back, but she tells him off and throws the phone down; the phone then transmorphs into a robotic spider that attacks and kills her.

At Edwards Air Force Base, an NSA officer informs her superior about intercepting a signal. In Los Angeles, Jo Summers is shocked to read in the newspaper about of the death of the woman from the car. In the Kern County Morgue, the police are baffled by the wound that killed the driver. Madison arrives home to discover her television is out. A repairman is called to fix the television. It ends up being Jake, the afformentoned narrator, an old friend of Madison, who hasn't seen her since returning from military deployment. Jake investigates her satellite dish and is shocked when it transmorphs into a robot. He runs inside to warn Madison, but when he goes back outside, the robot is gone. Summers meets up with Hadley to investigate the death of the driver, but the NSA show up and asks her to go with them. She advises Hadley to find the driver's missing phone.

A man is driving an SUV when his GPS gives him a five seconds warning to exit the vehicle, before shooting him in the forehead with a laser. Ryan meets with Madison and Jake and hears their story. He takes them in his car to look for the cell phone, but he is called to the scene of the SUV driver's body. A young boy tells Hadley that the SUV dumped the body and drove away by itself. Hadley picks up the first driver's cellular phone from the coroner's office. He then intercepts the SUV, which tries to ram him. When Ryan pulls the SUV over, they are jumped by the satellite robot. They drive away, but are chased by the SUV, who also transmorphs into a robot.

The machines quickly seize control of the Earth. After surviving an assault which kills Hadley, a small group learn that aliens are changing the water and the atmosphere to fit their physiology. They hear about this from a soldier who claims that this information came from Russia, where they captured and tortured one of the machines. They manage to salvage explosives and destroy one of the terraforming devices. This has a negative effect, though: the release of toxic chemicals into the atmosphere, to which the machines have adapted, and Jake sends a signal to other surviving humans, who have taken refuge underground, directing them to join him.

Cast

Production
Transmorphers: Fall of Man was released June 30, 2009 (less than a week after the premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen).

Scott Wheeler directs the film, replacing Transmorphers director Leigh Scott, and the film was also The Asylum's first film to be released on Blu-ray.

Reception
Transmorphers: Fall of Man was met with a mixed critical reaction, and a considerably favorable one to its predecessor. Felix Vasquez Jr. of Cinema Crazed, who gave the original Transmorphers a positive review, said, "There are moments when Transmorphers 2 rises to the occasion and injects a sense of urgency to the proceedings, but it takes too long for anything to happen. It's one long stretch of boring with a few hits of excitement, but the cons drastically affect the pros."

Future

Sequel
A third film in the series, Transmorphers: Mech Beasts, is scheduled to be released on June 30, 2023. It is a mockbuster of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

Spinoff
One of the Transmorphers appears in 2025 Armageddon, a 2022 film released to celebrate The Asylum's twenty-fifth anniversary. In this film, aliens send waves of monsters from Asylum films to attack Earth; a Transmorpher is sent alongside an Armada Suit in one of the first waves, but is destroyed when humans seize control of the latter to battle it.

Croatian Chileans (Chileno-croatas, ; Croatian: čileanski Hrvati) are Chileans of full or partial Croatian descent. Chile has one of the largest communities of ethnic Croats outside Europe, second only to Croatian Americans. They are one of the main examples of successful assimilation of a non-Spanish-speaking European ethnic group into Chilean society. Many successful entrepreneurs, scientists and artists, as well as prominent politicians who have held some of the highest offices in the country, have been of Croatian descent – including the current president of the Republic, Gabriel Boric.

History

The oppression of the Croatian people and the denial of an internationally recognised nation was the principal factor leading them to embark on a constant migration to Chile. At first they were recognised and officially registered as former citizens of the countries or empires from which they had fled. Until 1915 they were recognised as Austrians, and afterwards up until 1990 as Yugoslavians. Since 1990, and in accordance to the establishment of the newly internationally recognised Republic of Croatia, Chilean Croats have reasserted their cultural and ethnic identity.

The Croatian community first established itself in two provinces situated at the extreme ends of Chile: Antofagasta, in the Atacama desert of the north and Punta Arenas in the Patagonian region in the south. The large arrival of Croats in Chile began in 1864 and the migration grew steadily until 1956 – reaching several more than 6,000. In the early part of this 1864–1956 era more Croats settled in Argentina than in Chile. For example, in Argentina, the number reached 80,000, but only about 57% of Croats remained in Argentina. Some returned to Europe or moved and settled in Chile where Croats had a more rapid and successful assimilation, which led to a significant increase in the Chilean-Croat population in periods when there was no migration of Croats from Europe to the Americas.

It is estimated that there are up to 100,000–140,000 Chileans of Croatian descent. Even though the number may be much higher with some demographic analysts estimating a figure of 200,000.

Dalmatian-Croatian in Chile
The first issue of the publication Sloboda was published in March 1902, in Antofagasta. It was the first newspaper of the Croatian immigrants in Latin America. The Croatian immigrants in Chile conducted extensive journalistic work since 1902, which includes more than 50 newspapers, publications and newsletters.

The Dalmatian coast, with thousands of islands of white rock, covered with vineyards, pine forests and olive trees, is similar to the geographical features of Chile. Most families have a relative or descendant in Chile. Chile's name, unlike other parts of the world where it is almost unknown, is loved and admired by many Dalmatians as a second home.

Croatians in Punta Arenas

Punta Arenas is the most prominent settlement on the Strait of Magellan and the capital of the Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region, Chile. It has a population of over 146,000 inhabitants (2008). The city has its roots among the population origin of the European colonists (Croatian and Spanish) that populated the area in the mid-nineteenth century. There are also descendants of people from other countries (i.e. German, English, Italian, Swiss and others).

Croatian immigration in Punta Arenas was a crucial development in the region of Magallanes and the city in particular. Currently, it is possible to see this influence in the names of shops and many buildings.

Enemy Image is a 2005 documentary film by Mark Daniels about the portrayal of warfare in television news.  Narrated by Jessy Joe Walsh, the film includes archive footage of Peter Jennings, Morley Safer, Jon Alpert, Dan Rather, and Bernard Birnbaum in their news reporting on the various conflicts.

Synopsis
The film makes note of how the invasion of Iraq lasted 800 hours but produced over 20,000 hours of video, and focuses initially on the Vietnam War as the first war ever televised "live". During this war the American government allowed reporters onto the battlefield with little supervision or control. The documentary follows the way The Pentagon learned from this experience to control access by journalists to battle areas in subsequent wars, through the Invasion of Grenada (where journalists were excluded completely) to the first Gulf War, where news packages were provided by the military, to the embedded journalism of the Iraq War. The theme of the film is the progressive tightening of control by the US military on the contact journalists have with soldiers and civilians in the war zone, in order that (as the film says at the end) "never again will television raise the moral and political questions that face a people at war."

Screenings
The film premiered October 14, 2005 at the Sheffield International Documentary Festival, and aired on Canadian television later in 2005.

The Grupo Radio Ourense is a network of radio stations in Spain.  The enterprise began in 1932 with a 100-watt transmitter in Ourense, set up by Ramón Puga Noguerol.  Noguerol utilized the radio station primarily to promote the record albums for sale in his commercial store.  It was more of a hobby than a business.

But, three years later in 1935, the station was granted a formal license, EAJ-57, and the business became more serious.  In 1966, the station became a part of a wider commercial association, La Voz del Miño.  Pedro Arcas succeeded Ramón Puga at the helm.

Concert tours generate income mostly from the sales of tickets. Billboard and Pollstar are two major publications that regularly provide the official figure of concerts' gross revenue worldwide. Billboard launched the boxscore ranking in 1975 through its spin-off magazine Amusement Business, and it has been also featured in the Billboard magazine itself since the issue date of October 3, 1981. Pollstar began reporting the box office data since November 29, 1981. However, there are many missing data in the early reporting of both publications, hence claims of highest-grossing tours in the 1980s and the 1990s are mostly based on other non-specialist sources.

Michael Jackson's Bad tour and Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour, both running from 1987 to 1989, were the earliest tours to have been claimed with revenue passing $100 million. As record sales collapsed in the early 21st century, musicians rely their income on live music shows, and touring industry has since skyrocketed. In 2023, Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road set a new record for the highest-grossing tour of all time, with a revenue of $939.1 million. The tour was held in five different calendar years from 2018 to 2023, featuring a total of 330 shows. The highest-grossing tour in a single year is the Eras Tour by Taylor Swift, collecting $780 million in 2023. When the figures are adjusted for inflation, U2's 360° Tour between 2009–2011 has earned more than any other tours in history (with an equivalent of $ in ), but Swift's tour still earned the most in a year.

Touring industry is highly dominated by bands and male soloists of rock music. Some of highest-grossing tours came from pop stars such as Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Beyoncé, and Madonna, as well as country musician Garth Brooks. The Rolling Stones had broken the all-time tour milestone three times (1990, 1995, and 2006), with their Voodoo Lounge Tour remaining the longest record holder for eleven years (1995–2006). They also became the only act to have the highest-grossing tour of the decade twice (the 1990s and the 2000s). U2 achieved the highest-grossing tour of the year at least eight times, more than any other act in history.

Highest-grossing tours by year
This list represents the top-grossing tour of each year according to either Pollstar or Billboard Boxscore (formerly Amusement Business). The two publications may differ on their annual figures due to different total of dates reported or different year-end tracking period. For example, Pollstar listed Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour as the top tour of 2008 with $281.6 million, but Billboard ranked it third on their year-end chart whose tracking period ended on November 11, 2008, thus excluding 20 shows by Madonna. In 2019, Billboard listed Ed Sheeran's ÷ Tour as the top tour of the year ($223.7 million), instead of Pink's Beautiful Trauma World Tour ($215.2 million) as reported by Pollstar. However, the Billboards figure included Sheeran's gross from November 2018 shows, therefore the Pollstars figure is closer to accurate for the 2019 calendar year.

The 2009 Connecticut Huskies football team represented the University of Connecticut in the 2009 NCAA Division I FBS football season as a member of the Big East Conference. The team was coached by Randy Edsall and played its home games at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut. The team finished with a record of 8–5, 3–4 in Big East play and won the PapaJohns.com Bowl 20–7 against South Carolina.

Preseason

Coaching changes
Connecticut lost its offensive coordinator of the previous three years when Rob Ambrose left the school to become the head coach at Towson.  He will be replaced by Joe Moorhead, who was hired from Akron, where he held the same position.

Key losses
Four players on the 2008 Connecticut Huskies football team were selected in the 2009 NFL Draft on April 25, 2009. Donald Brown was selected at No. 27 by the Indianapolis Colts, Darius Butler was selected by the New England Patriots at No. 41, Will Beatty and Cody Brown were selected late in the 2nd round at No. 60 (Will Beatty, New York Giants) and No. 63 (Cody Brown, Arizona Cardinals).

After the Draft, four other Huskies signed free agent contracts with NFL Teams. Those Huskies include: Julius Williams (Jacksonville Jaguars), Dahna Deleston (Chicago Bears), Tyler Lorenzen (Jacksonville Jaguars), and Keith Gray (Carolina Panthers)

On May 2, 2009, Senior Martin Bédard was taken in the second round of the CFL Canadian Football League Draft by the Montreal Alouettes.

Recruiting
On February 4, 2009, Randy Edsall announced that 21 student-athletes had signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Connecticut.  Three; Keensen Chambers, Jesse Joseph and Trevardo Williams; entered school in January to participate in spring practice.

Spring practice
Connecticut kicked off spring practice with the first of fifteen practices on March 17, 2009. Among the priorities set by the coaching staff are to have the team learn the newly installed up-tempo offensive game plan, determine how the running backs would replace Donald Brown, and take steps in determining who would replace Tyler Lorenzen as the starting quarterback.

The annual Blue-White Spring Game, which concludes spring practice, was held on April 18, 2009 at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, CT. The game featured a modified scoring system, which would pit the offense directly against the defense. The offense prevailed, 83–57.

Game summaries

Ohio

The Huskies were led by 157 yards rushing from Jordan Todman, as they defeated the Ohio Bobcats 23–16 in front of a record crowd at Peden Stadium.  They were able to overcome four turnovers and a missed field goal with a solid running game and stout defense.

UConn opened the scoring with a four-yard touchdown pass from Zach Frazer to fullback Anthony Davis in the first quarter. The score culminated a 91-yard drive which began following an Ohio turnover. The Bobcats found the scoreboard for the first time in the second quarter when quarterback Boo Jackson found Taylor Price for a 43-yard touchdown. The Huskies, however, answered with a 35-yard touchdown pass from Frazer to Brad Kanuch on the subsequent drive. Lindsey Witten sacked new Ohio quarterback, Theo Scott in the endzone for a safety to provide the only scoring in the third quarter. A four-yard touchdown run from Todman increased the Huskies lead to 23–7. The Bobcats attempted to make a fourth quarter comeback with a touchdown pass from Scott to Riley Dunlop, and a 50-yard field goal from Matt Weller. However, the comeback was thwarted when the Huskies recovered an onside kick with under three minutes in the game.

Andre Dixon joined Todman by also rushing for 100 yards. It was the first time that two Huskies rushed for 100 yards in the same game since November 11, 2006, in a double overtime win against Pittsburgh.

After the victory, game balls were awarded to Dixon (offense), Witten (defense) and Robbie Frey (special teams).

For his performance, Lindsey Witten was awarded the Big East Defensive Player of the Week.  Jordan Todman was named to the weekly honor roll.

The game was the second and final in a two-game series between the two schools. The first game of the series was played on September 21, 2002 at Memorial Stadium in Storrs, Connecticut. Connecticut is 2–0 all time against Ohio.

North Carolina

Aided by a late holding penalty which resulted in a safety, the North Carolina Tar Heels escaped their first visit to Rentschler Field with a narrow 12–10 victory. Both teams were powered by stout defenses and provided rough going for both offenses.

The Huskies reached the scoreboard first when David Teggart kicked a 47-yard field goal at the end of the first half. Following Twyon Martin's first career interception, the Huskies scored the game's first touchdown on a four-yard run by Jordan Todman. However, North Carolina quickly responded in the fourth quarter with a 22-yard field goal, and, after a Huskies punt, followed with a two-yard touchdown pass from T. J. Yates to Zack Pianalto, which tied the game at 10.

Facing a third and long from their own eight-yard line, the Huskies' Dan Ryan was called for a holding penalty in the end zone, resulting in a safety, and a two-point Tar Heel lead. UConn's Alex Molina recovered the ensuing on-side kick, but the Huskies were unable to score.

The Huskies' Lindsey Witten recorded four sacks, bringing his season total to seven through two games and placing him first in the FBS in that category.  He was named to the Big East weekly honor roll for his performance.

Injuries played a large role in the game for the Huskies. They played without starting linebacker, Scott Lutrus, who was out with a shoulder injury. During the game, starting quarterback, Zach Frazer, and starting tight end, Ryan Griffin were both lost to injuries.

The game was the second and final in a two-game series between the two schools. The first game of the series was played on October 4, 2008 at Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Connecticut is 0–3 all time against North Carolina.

Baylor

The Huskies overcame multiple injuries to defeat the Baylor Bears 30–22. They were led by a strong rushing game, led by the tandem of Andre Dixon and Jordan Todman, and a stout defense. Dixon scored his first touchdown since 2007, and had his first multi touchdown game as he rushed for 149 yards and 3 touchdowns. The UConn defense was able to force three Bear turnovers, and held vaunted Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin in check for most of the game.

For the second time in three games in 2009, the Huskies had two rushers eclipse the 100-yard mark, as Todman gained 103 yards.

UConn played the game without starting quarterback Zach Frazer, tight end Ryan Griffin and linebacker, Scott Lutrus missed his second consecutive game with a shoulder injury.

After the victory, game balls were awarded to Dixon, Lawrence Wilson, Desi Cullen and Jasper Howard.  Dixon was also named to the Big East's weekly honor roll.

The game was the second and final in a two-game series between the two schools. The first game of the series was played on September 19, 2008 at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut. Connecticut is 2–0 all time against Baylor.

Rhode Island

The Huskies overcame seven fumbles to beat Rhode Island 52–10 before a crowd of 38,620 at Rentschler Field. The game was the 1000th played in Connecticut football history, which dates back to 1896.

Three Huskies set career highs in the game – Redshirt sophomore quarterback Cody Endres (Washington, Pa.) set career-highs in completions and passing yards and threw the first two touchdowns of his career. Sophomore wide receiver Michael Smith (Houston, Texas), who set career standards with eight catches and 82 receiving yards. Sophomore running back Jordan Todman, who rushed for 70 yards on 15 carries and registered a career-best three rushing touchdowns.

For his performance, Lawrence Wilson was named to the Big East Weekly Honor Roll.  The Huskies improved to 3–1 on the season, while the Rams dropped to 1–2 with the loss.

Pittsburgh

UConn took a 21–6 lead with 3:56 to go in the third quarter after Andre Dixon scored on a two-yard run that capped an eight-play, 61-yard drive. The Panthers then came right back to make it 21–13 as they had an eight-play 74-yard TD drive in the final moments of third quarter. Stull completed a 26-yard TD pass to Jonathan Baldwin for the score. Pittsburgh tied the game at 21–21 with 7:35 to go on a 27-yard TD pass by Stull to Dorin Dickerson. In the final seconds of the game, University of Pittsburgh kicker Dan Hutchins knocked in an 18-yard field goal to give the Panthers the 24–21 comeback lead and the victory in front of 44,893 at Heinz Field.

Despite the loss, and largely due to his two interceptions and one touchdown, Robert Vaughn was named the Big East Defensive Player of the Week.  Connecticut dropped to 3–3 all time against Pittsburgh.

Louisville

In the homecoming game the Huskies scored in every quarter to win the game 38–25. Senior running back Andre Dixon ran for 153 yards and three touchdowns and Connecticut beat Louisville for the Huskies first Big East win of the season. Another Husky who had a great game was junior cornerback Jasper Howard, who had 11 tackles and recovered a fumble.

It would prove to be Howard's last game. He was stabbed to death at an official function in UConn's Student Union just after 12:30 am the next morning.

With a season high 16 tackles, Lawrence Wilson was named Big East Defensive Player of the Week, the second consecutive recognition for a Husky.  Andre Dixon was named to the weekly honor roll. Connecticut improved to 3–3 all-time against Louisville and 3–2 in Big East Conference contests against the Cardinals.

West Virginia

The game had an emotional start as there was a moment of silence for Connecticut junior cornerback Jasper Howard. Following the moment of silence both teams had a pregame handshake at midfield. The Huskies had a sticker of Jasper's initials put on each of their helmets to honor him. West Virginia got off to a quick 7–0 lead as Tavon Austin returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown in the fastest score against the Huskies in the FBS era. UConn then scored the next 10 points of the game as Jordan Todman scored his seventh TD of the season on a five-yard run that wrapped up a nine-play, 67-yard drive with 5:46 left in the first quarter. UConn took a 17–14 lead into halftime. A 56-yard touchdown run by Noel Devine with 2:10 remaining in the game gave West Virginia a 28–24 lead and the victory over the University of Connecticut football team before a crowd of 58,106 at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Rutgers

Just like in the previous game against West Virginia, UConn had the lead in the fourth quarter but with 22 seconds left in the game Tim Brown scored on an 81-yard pass from Tom Savage to give Rutgers a 28–24 victory. The loss drops the Huskies to 4–4 on the season, 1–3 in conference play. The Scarlet Knights improve to 6–2, 1–2 in league action.

Robbie Frey was named to the Big East Weekly Honor Roll after the game.

Cincinnati

Both teams used their backup quarterbacks due to injuries to the starting quarterbacks. Zach Frazer for the Huskies and Zach Collaros for the Bearcats. The two teams traded touchdowns on their opening possessions as the Bearcats drove down the field 80 yards on eight plays to score on a one-yard run by Isaiah Pead less than three minutes into the game. The Huskies came right back and moved the ball 79 yards in 11 plays as Todman had his first score of the night on a six-yard run to tie the game at 7–7. Cincinnati scored the next 10 points on a 41-yard field goal by Jacob Roberts with 4:57 to go in the first quarter and a four-yard TD run by Collaros to complete a 10-play, 87-yard drive 48 second into the second quarter. Cincy took a 30–10 score into the half. UConn scored two touchdowns coming out of the half to cut the Cincinnati lead down to eight. On a fourth and one with a little more than five minutes remaining in the game, Todman recorded his career best fourth touchdown run of the game to pull the Huskies within two points. Frazer dropped back to pass on the two-point conversion but was knocked down by Curtis Young as Cincy kept their lead heading into the final minutes of the fourth quarter. It looked like the Huskies had stopped Cincinnati on their final drive of the game when junior Lawrence Wilson (Tuscaloosa, Ala.) put pressure on the running game to force a fourth down. But the Bearcats went for it and Isaiah Pead broke free from the UConn defense to run in a 14-yard score putting Cincy back up by nine with just 1:52 remaining in the game. Easley brought the Huskies within three points with 13 seconds remaining in the game scoring his first touchdown of the night on a nine-yard pass from Frazer. Teggart tacked on the extra point to bring the Huskies within two. UConn's on side kick attempt was fielded by Charley Howard to seal the Cincinnati victory. UConn fell to 4–5 on the season and 1–4 in the BIG EAST while the fifth-ranked Bearcats improved to 9–0 and 5–0 in the BIG EAST.

With 162 rushing yards and four touchdowns, Jordan Todman was named to the Big East Weekly Honor Roll.  The Huskies dropped to 1–5 against the Bearcats.

Notre Dame

Clausen got the Irish on the board first with an eight-yard touchdown pass to Tate with 10:59 to play in the opening quarter. The score would remain 7–0 until the 14:32 mark of the second quarter, when Clausen capped an 11-play, 80-yard scoring drive with a one-yard scoring plunge to put Notre Dame on top, 14–0. The Huskies cut the deficit to 14–7 on their next possession, when Todman broke free for a 43-yard touchdown run. UConn made it a 14–10 game late in the second quarter on a 39-yard field goal by Dave Teggart. The Irish pushed their lead back to seven after David Ruffer kicked a 20-yard field goal at the 9:29 mark of the third quarter. But Todman returned the ensuing kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown to make it a 17–17 game. After the teams traded field goals in the fourth quarter, the UConn defense recovered a fumble at the Notre Dame 41 with 49 seconds to play. Teggart had a chance to give UConn the victory at the end of regulation, but his 37-yard field goal sailed wide left as time expired. Each team scored a touchdown in the first overtime and at the end of the OT the teams were tied and went to a second OT. The Irish were not able to move the chains to open the second overtime, and they had to settle for a Ruffer field goal. Andre Dixon scored on a four-yard touchdown run in the second overtime, as the Connecticut Huskies finally pulled out a close game and beat Notre Dame, 33–30 at Notre Dame Stadium.

Jordan Todman was named the Big East Conference Special Teams Player of the Week.  Andre Dixon and Lawrence Wilson were also named to the Weekly Honor Roll. Connecticut is 1–0 against Notre Dame.

After the victory, Randy Edsall sent the game ball to the family of Jasper Howard.

Syracuse

The Huskies became bowl eligible for the third consecutive season with a 56–31 win over Big East foe Syracuse. The Huskies scored on their first possession after holding Syracuse to a three-and-out on the game's opening possession and Orange punter Rob Long's punt got caught up in the brisk wind that plagued the contest and went just 13 yards. Eight plays later, Dixon scored from the four to put the Huskies in front and give them a lead they would never relinquish. After a Syracuse field goal, Mike Lang returned the ensuing kickoff 80 yards for the Huskies' third kickoff return for a touchdown of the season. Syracuse then scored a touchdown to make the score 14–10. Later in the second quarter, Twyon Martin recovered a Delone Carter fumble setting up the Huskies at the Syracuse 43. One play later, sophomore running back Jordan Todman rambled in from the 37 to put the Huskies ahead, 21–10. The run gave Todman exactly 1,000 rushing yards this season and the score was Todman's 15th touchdown on the season. The Huskies took a 28–17 lead into the locker room. The Huskies continued their offensive domination in the second half when they marched 80 yards in 15 plays that saw Frazer hit Easley with an 8-yard touchdown pass. Paulus hit Lavar Lobdell with a 12-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the fourth quarter, but Connecticut answered right back when Dixon scurried in from the 45 to give the Huskies a 42–24 lead. Carter capped an 84-yard drive with a 10-yard scoring run, but late in the game, with Huskies facing a fourth-and-11 from the Syracuse 28, Frazer connected again with Easley on a touchdown pass to put the Huskies back safely ahead, 49–31. Syracuse wide receiver Antwon Bailey caught a pass from Paulus and tried to lateral to Lemon, but the ball was fumbled and Connecticut's Dwayne Gratz scooped up the errant ball and took it to the end zone with the recovery.

With 17 tackles, Lawrence Wilson was named to the Big East's Weekly Honor Roll.  Connecticut improved to 4–2 against the Orange.

South Florida

South Florida came from warm and sunny Tampa, Florida to cold and snowy East Hartford, Connecticut, but that did not stop the Bulls as they marched down the snowy field and were up 27–26 with 40 seconds left to go in the game. After the Bulls failed to make the 2-point conversion the Huskies were still in the game.   Quarterback Zach Frazer made completions to Ryan Griffin, Andre Dixon and Kashif Moore put the Huskies at the USF 26, and Dixon ran the ball to the middle of the field to set up kicker Dave Teggart's winning attempt. By then the snow slowed down and Teggart who missed a 46-yard field goal earlier in the game made a 42-yard field goal as time expired to give Connecticut a 29–27 football victory over South Florida before a crowd of 35,624 at Rentschler Field. The game was Senior Night for 16 Huskies who played their final game for Connecticut.

After the victory, game balls were awarded to Zach Frazer (offense), Scott Lutrus (defense) and Dave Teggart (special teams).  The three were also named to the Big East's weekly honor roll.  Connecticut is 3–4 all time against South Florida.

South Carolina

Andre Dixon rushed for 126 yards and one touchdown as the Huskies defeated the South Carolina Gamecocks in the fourth annual PapaJohns.com Bowl in Birmingham, Alabama. It was the Huskies third bowl victory in four attempts, and their first ever win over an opponent from the Southeastern Conference. The UConn defense came up strong by forcing two Gamecock turnovers, and holding the South Carolina offence to 205 yards.

Dixon, who was awarded the Fred Sington Most Valuable Player trophy, eclipsed 1000 rushing yards for the year during the game, joining Jordan Todman. The Huskies joined Georgia Tech and Nevada as the only Football Bowl Subdivision teams with two runners with at least 1000 rushing yards.  It was also the first time that UConn accomplished the feat.

The shinyrayed pocketbook (Hamiota subangulata) is a federally endangered species of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusk in the family Unionidae, the river mussels. This species is endemic to the United States in the states of Georgia, Florida, and Alabama.

The shinyrayed pocketbook's shell is solid yet thin with a smooth and shiny surface. The coloring is light yellowish brown with fairly wide, bright emerald green rays over the entire length of the shell which may appear as darker brown in older specimens. Water and food are obtained by siphoning which provides phytoplankton, tiny zooplankton, and organic detritus.

Howard Dwayne Graves  (August 15, 1939 – September 13, 2003) was a United States Army officer who served as the superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy from 1991 to 1996, and as the chancellor of the Texas A&M University System from 1999 to 2003. A 1961 graduate of West Point, he was a Rhodes Scholar, earning three degrees from Oxford during his army career.  During his service in the Army, he was the personal aide to two Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Admiral William J. Crowe and General Colin L. Powell.

Early life and education
Graves was born in Roaring Springs, Texas, the only child of Tommy J. and Velma Lee Clifton Graves. He almost drowned trying to baptise a cat in a pond behind their home but was revived at a Civilian Conservation Corps camp that was close to their rural home. After spending his youth in Amarillo, Texas, and graduating from Amarillo High School in 1957, Graves received an appointment to West Point as a member of the class of 1961. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Engineer branch in 1961. He earned a Rhodes Scholarship and spent the first three years of his military career at the University of Oxford, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1964, an MA in 1968 and an MLitt in 1971.

Career
On returning to the United States after his first tour at the University of Oxford, he joined the 82nd Airborne Division, where in 1965 he commanded an engineer company in the Dominican Republic. He saw combat in Vietnam from 1968 to 1969, where he was an Engineer Battalion S-3 and assistant division engineer for the First Cavalry Division. After his second tour at the University of Oxford, Graves returned to West Point in 1970. He was assigned to the Department of Social Sciences, where he taught international relations and comparative foreign governments.

In 1974, Graves was appointed military assistant to the Secretary of Defense, James Schlesinger. His duties included coordinating Schlesinger's travel and public appearances, preparing briefings and speeches for Congressional hearings, and providing counsel on matters affecting the U.S. Army. In 1976, Graves took command of the 54th Engineer Battalion in West Germany, returning to the United States in 1978 to attend the Army War College at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. In 1980, Graves took command of the 20th Engineer Brigade. He then joined the First Infantry Division in 1982 as the assistant division commander. The next year,  Graves was appointed deputy chief of staff, engineer, U.S. Army Forces Command. In 1984, Graves was promoted to brigadier general and became deputy director for strategy, plans, and policy, of the Army Staff. The next year he was promoted to vice director of the Joint Staff. In 1987, Graves succeeded James E. Thompson Jr. as commandant of the Army War College. Lieutenant General Graves then returned to Washington, D.C., to become assistant to the chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff. In 1991, Graves was appointed the 54th superintendent of the United States Military Academy, a position he held until his retirement in 1996.

Later life and death
Graves later joined the Harry Guggenheim Foundation as a director and in 1998 was a visiting professor, at the Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Service at the University of Texas. In 1999, he was selected to be the 11th chancellor of the Texas A&M University System. During his tenure as chancellor, Texas A&M added three new universities to its system: Texas A&M University–San Antonio, Tarleton State University–Central Texas in Killeen, and West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas. Graves lived with cancer for several years, dying from the disease at his home in College Station, Texas, on September 13, 2003. He is survived by his wife, Gracie Newman Graves, son, Colonel Gregory Howard Graves, who is also a graduate of West Point (class of 1988), and wife  Graves, daughter Gigi Graves Kail and husband the late Colonel Eric Kail, who was an army officer. He is interred at the West Point Cemetery.

The 1987–88 season was Manchester United's 86th season in the Football League, and their 13th consecutive season in the top division of English football.

The season was a relative success, with the club finishing second in the league, but they did not play in the UEFA Cup the following season due to the ban on English clubs in Europe after the Heysel Stadium disaster. They finished nine points behind champions Liverpool, who lost just twice all season and for much of the campaign looked uncatchable. Perhaps the most memorable game of the season was in the league at Anfield just before Liverpool's title was confirmed, when United were 3–1 down at half time but fought back to hold the hosts to a 3–3 draw, denying them two points and delaying their bid to seal the title.

United lost just five times in the league in 40 games, and lost only once at Old Trafford, but a few disappointing draws against relatively unfancied sides including Charlton and Luton led to crucial points being dropped and prevented them from mounting a serious threat to Liverpool.

It was Alex Ferguson's first full season as United manager, and it was the first season at the club for new signings Brian McClair (who finished the season as one of the First Division's top scorers with 24 goals) and Viv Anderson. December also saw the arrival of defender Steve Bruce from Norwich City for £900,000, after an approach for Rangers and England defender Terry Butcher collapsed when the player suffered a broken leg.

After the season's end, Ferguson brought Mark Hughes back to Old Trafford from Barcelona in a £1.8 million deal that made him United's record signing. He also replaced Chris Turner in goal by paying £500,000 for Jim Leighton, who played under Ferguson at Aberdeen. He also attempted to sign Paul Gascoigne from Newcastle United, and a deal was agreed, but while Ferguson was on holiday, Gascoigne agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur in the first £2 million fee to be paid by a British club.

It was the last season at United for long-serving defender Kevin Moran, who was transferred to Sporting Gijon after losing his place in the team to Steve Bruce. Remi Moses played his last game for the club before ongoing injury problems forced his retirement from playing, when still in his twenties.

Events of the season
Manchester United began the 1987–88 season (the first full season under the management of Alex Ferguson) with new signings in the shape of defender Viv Anderson and striker Brian McClair, while Frank Stapleton and Terry Gibson were both on their way out of Old Trafford.

The First Division season began with Manchester United drawing 2–2 at Southampton, with Norman Whiteside scores both of United's goals, with Southampton's Danny Wallace scoring both of the home side's goals.

Bryan Robson was sent off on 29 August as Manchester United beat Charlton Athletic 3–1 away in their fourth league game of the season, placing them fifth in the First Division.

18 September 1987: Manchester United also made a bid to sign Wales striker Andy Jones from Port Vale, but the player instead opted for Charlton Athletic in a £300,000 deal.

The good progress which saw Manchester United climb to mid table from near the foot of the First Division following Alex Ferguson's appointment last season continued into this season as they soon established themselves as a top five force and the nearest serious challengers to traditional title favourites Liverpool.

Alex Ferguson had long been known to be keen to secure the signing of Mark Hughes, who had to stay outside Britain until at least April 1988 to avoid taxation on money earned since his move from Manchester United to FC Barcelona in June 1986, was reported to be on the verge of signing a permanent contract with Bayern Munich of West Germany after a successful start to his loan spell at the Olympiastadion.

His hopes of signing the Rangers and England defender Terry Butcher were dashed when Rangers manager Graeme Souness offered him a lucrative contract to stay at Ibrox until at least 1993.

On a tour of Bermuda in late November, winger Clayton Blackmore was arrested on allegations of rape but swiftly released from custody after no charges were brought against him.

Alex Ferguson then made a £750,000 bid to bring Steve Bruce to Manchester United from Norwich City, but the offer was rejected. Ferguson had turned his attention back to Bruce following his failure to secure Terry Butcher, having originally been put off Bruce by Norwich's £1 million price tag. A second bid for Steve Bruce - reported to be in the region of £850,000 - was then made, but again rejected. The transfer was finally completed on 18 December at a cost of £900,000 transfer from Norwich City to Manchester United.

Ferguson then looked to boost his attack with an offer for Luton Town striker Mick Harford, but the player decided to remain at Kenilworth Road after manager Ray Harford offered him a four-year contract.

On 10 January 1988, Manchester United's FA Cup quest began with a 2–1 over Ipswich Town in the third round at Portman Road. 10 days later, their hopes of Football League Cup glory were ended by a 2–0 defeat at Oxford United in the quarter-final.

By the end of the month, however, they had progressed to the FA Cup fifth round with a 2–0 home win over Chelsea.

The FA Cup dream ended, however, on 20 February, when they suffered a 2–1 defeat at
Arsenal in the fifth round. Brian McClair, the club's leading goalscorer, missed a late penalty that would have forced a replay.

Norman Whiteside, who had spent his whole seven-year playing career at Manchester United, handed in a transfer request near the end of March and spoke of his desire to play football in a foreign country.

On 4 April, Manchester United pulled off a remarkable 3–3 draw with Liverpool at Anfield in a First Division game which Liverpool had led 3–1 at half time. Manchester United trailed Liverpool, who have two games in hand, by 11 points as they still had five games left to play, so Liverpool inevitably clinched the title within three weeks of this game and United had to settle for second place.

On 18 April, Ferguson agreed a deal for Lee Sharpe, the 16-year-old Torquay United winger, for £200,000 - a record fee for a YTS player.

After the end of the season, Ferguson brought Mark Hughes back to Manchester United for a club record fee of £1.8 million and also signed Aberdeen and Scotland goalkeeper Jim Leighton for £500,000. Newcastle United midfielder Paul Gascoigne had looked set to join Manchester United, but then spurned them for a national record £2 million move to Tottenham Hotspur.
