Evald Schorm (15 December 1931 – 14 December 1988) was a Czech film and stage director, screenwriter and actor. He directed 26 films between 1959 and 1988. Schorm was a notable exponent of the Czech Film New Wave.

Biography
Schorm was born into a farmer family, and spent his childhood at the family farm in Elbančice near Mladá Vožice. After communists confiscated the family property, he was expelled from school and moved to Zličín near Prague, together with his parents. Schorm had to become a construction worker, but in 1956 he was finally accepted at the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. He graduated in Film direction in 1963, together with other future members of the Czech New Wave. He began his career at the Studio dokumentárního filmu (Studio of the Documentary Film) together with cameraman Jan Špáta. Together they created many short films and documentaries of strong humanistic and emotional content, in close and long-lasting collaboration.

In 1964, Schorm directed his first full-length film, Courage for Every Day which dealt with the disillusionment of individuals victimized in the name of false ideals. He explored the ethical principles of human behavior in films such as the psychological drama The Return of the Prodigal Son (1966).  He also acted minor roles in films made by his friends.

During the 1970s and 1980s he was regarded as too "politically undesirable" to be involved in Czech filmmaking, and therefore only worked as a stage director. He was involved with many Prague theatres, such as Činoherní klub, Studio Ypsilon, Theatre on the Balustrade, Semafor, Laterna Magika, and the National Theatre as well as with theatres in Brno, Olomouc, Cheb and Gottwaldov. Schorm was also a notable opera director, and directed opera performances in Prague (Fidelio in Smetana Theatre), and at the Janáček Opera House Brno for posthumous premiere in 1971 of Martinů's film opera Les trois souhaits, Geneva and Stuttgart. From 1982 he was engaged by the Prague theatre Laterna Magika.

From 1964 to 1970 he taught at the Film and Television School of The Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. In 1988, shortly before his death, he created his last film Vlastně se nic nestalo. In 1992, he was posthumously awarded the Order of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk.

David Stahl (4 November 1949 – 24 October 2010) was an American conductor who served as the music director and intendant of the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz in Munich and the Music Director of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra. A student of Leonard Bernstein, he was famous for his interpretation of Mahler's works.

Biography

Early life and family background
Stahl was born in New York City, the son of Jewish emigre parents. David Stahl's father, Frank L. Stahl, was an engineer who took part in the restoration of the Golden Gate Bridge in the 1980s. He was born in Fürth, Germany and attended the same elementary school as Henry Kissinger. Edith Stahl, David Stahl's mother, immigrated to New York in 1938 from Essen, Germany. David Stahl's grandfather, Dr. Leo Stahl (m. Anna Regensburger), was the Jewish Community Leader of Fürth during the Nazi era. Leo was interned in Dachau concentration camp from 11 November to 7 December 1938, and emigrated to England in 1939. Arriving in New York in 1947, he was, according to Das Schicksal der jüdischen Rechtsanwälte in Bayern nach 1933, by Reinhard Weber, unsuccessful in business and died there in 1952, aged 67. Frank's sister Liselotte, after a time in Manchester, England, also came to New York, where she died in 2007.

Professional career
Stahl studied conducting at Queens College, City University of New York. After making his Carnegie Hall debut at age 23, he came under the tutelage of Leonard Bernstein, eventually taking over as music director of the Broadway production of West Side Story. In 1984, he became Music Director of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra; a position he remained in until his death 26 years later. In 1996 he was invited to be guest conductor at the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz. He assumed the title of Music Director there from 1999. He also worked frequently as a guest conductor of operas and musicals at major theatres around the world, including the Bavarian State Opera, the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, and the New York City Opera among others.

As an enthusiast of Bernstein, he had been behind several revivals of Candide, including conducting an acclaimed 2003 German language production narrated by Loriot and a 2008 production in Charleston, South Carolina. He was also involved in the staging of a notable production of Gershwin's Porgy and Bess in Charleston, the city where the opera is set, which went on to tour internationally in the early 1990s. In 2009 he celebrated 25 years at CSO and 10 years at the Gärtnerplatz.

David Stahl died of lymphoma on October 24, 2010. His wife, Karen, died in September 2010. The couple had two children, Anna and Byron. David had met Karen when his daughter from his first marriage, Sonya, became a student in Karen's kindergarten class at Ashley River Creative Arts Elementary.

The parish church of St Michael the Archangel in Dundry, Somerset, England has a tower which was built in 1484, with the rest dated 1861. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

History

The four-stage tower was erected, around 1484, as a landmark and is visible from many parts of Avon.

The rest of the church was built in 1861 by G.B. Gabriel, replacing the previous medieval building.

The church became part of a joint benefice with the Church of St Andrew, Chew Magna in 1977 and in 2000 were joined by Holy Trinity Church, Norton Malreward.

In 2015 the church was closed because of safety concerns due to falling plaster from the ceiling. Repairs to the roof were estimated to cost £225,000. Following a fundraising campaign, which included grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund and others, the church was able to re-open in September 2018 after extensive renovations.

Churchyard

Outside the church is a  cube of dressed stone, from Dundry Main Road South Quarry. It known as the dole table, which was used to give alms to the poor. There is also a  high churchyard cross on an octagonal base. The head of the cross was installed in the 19th century to the same design as one which had previously occupied the site. It has been scheduled as an ancient monument.

Chest tombs in the churchyard include those to the Dowling family which is thought to date from the mid 18th century, and one of the same age to the Holbrook family.

Architecture

The four-stage tower is  high and is a prominent feature in its hill-top position with its tower visible for many miles around. It is supported by buttresses and is topped by four corner turrets with a polygonal north east stair turret. The earliest of the six bells in the tower was made in 1642. The church consists of a nave, chancel, and chapel, with north and south aisles all surmounted by slate roofs.

Jaunlutriņi Parish () is an administrative unit of Saldus Municipality, Latvia. It borders with Šķēde, Lutriņi and Zirņi parishes of its county. The center of the parish is Jaunlutriņi. The parish is administered by the joint Jaunlutriņi and Šķēde parish administration.

History
The New Manor (Gut Neuhof, Jaunlutriņi) was historically located in the territory of modern Jaunlutriņi parish. The parish was founded in 1820. In 1890 it was added to Lutriņi parish together with Ošenieki and Mācītājsmuiža parishes. In 1945, Lutriņi, Jaunlutriņi and Ošenieki village councils were established in Lutriņi parish. In 1954, the village of Ošenieki was added to Jaunlutriņi village. In 1990, the village was reorganized into a parish. In 2009, the parish was included in Saldus municipality.

Education and culture
Between 1805 and 1840, education was provided by craftsman Otto Hercbergs, landlord of the "Christmas tree" Līze Lasis, and weaver Fridrihs Šube. From 1825 to 1890, there was a "ķesterskola" (lit. Chester school), where the Lutriņi parish ķesters worked. In 1840, a decision was made to establish a school in Lutriņi Parish. Until 1851, the school operated at the same time as the ķesterskola. In 1851, a new school building was built near the ķesters' house, allocating 20 plots of land from the manor (later increased by 30 plots). The school existed in this building until 1931. The school building was handed over to the parish, a shelter for the disabled was established there and it was named "Recreation". In 1840, another school started operating in "Rīkuti" on the other side of the parish. In 1885, a new house was built in the Silmaņi forest for the needs of educating these students. The school existed here until 1923, when it was added to Lutriņi 6th grade primary school in Jaunmuiza. The school was popularly called the Salmon School (teacher Gustavs Lasis). Lutriņi 6th grade primary school started operating in 1921 in the Lutriņi pastor's manor, because Jaunmuiza castle had not yet been handed over to the school. On December 17, 1923, the school was moved to Jaunmuiza Castle. O.

New Mutants (vol. 2)

Back To School
New Mutants Vol.2 Issues #1-6

Former New Mutant Danielle "Dani" Moonstar is convinced to return to the Xavier school as a mutant mentor & recruiter. Dani encounters her first recruit, Sophia Montega, by chance when the young girl is arrested for using her abilities to manipulate the wind in an effort to gain the attention of her neglectful father. Dani offers to take Sofia to the Xavier school to learn to control her abilities. At the school, currently in its summer session, Sofia meets fellow students Laurie Collins (Pheromone Control), Julian Keller (Telekinesis), and Cessily Kincaid (Mercury Metal Form). Professor Xavier accepts Sophia as a new student and enlists Dani to help him recruit other possible students. Dani helps in recruiting additional students Kevin Ford (Organic Decay) and David Alleyn (Telepathic Learning). Dani is also reunited with former New Mutant Xi'an "Shan" Coy Manh who agrees to move back to the school with her younger siblings.

On a recruiting trip to New York to recruit another student, Dani and Shan discover that the last potential student, Josh Foley, may be connected to a mutant-hate group called The Reavers; led by X-Men antagonist Donald Pierce. Pierce and the Reavers plan to kick-nap Sofia's wealthy father as a way to target her and other mutants. When the students stumble into Pierce's trap, a battle ensues. When a Reaver friend falls in battle, Josh unwittingly uses his mutant healing ability to recover him, outing himself as a mutant. As the battle turns in the students favor, Pierce arrives and mortally wounds Laurie Collins. Josh attempts to heal Laurie with his ability, while Kevin, in his anger strikes at Pierce in an effort to kill him by decaying his exposed flesh. Dani, unable to physically stop Kevin, must reluctantly use her mutant ability against him; generating a horrifying illusion that he is attacking Laurie instead of Pierce.  This vision causes Kevin to halt his assault.  The battle now over, Josh, not accepting he is a mutant, rejects the offer to join the school.  Kevin, horrified by Dani's illusion, decides to leave the school, deciding he is better living alone where he cannot hurt others.  Kevin's leaving wears heavily on Dani as she feels she has failed him.  Josh Foley, upon returning home, finds that he is not welcomed back by his friends or family.  He arrives to the school seeking admittance, being paired with a reluctant David Alleyn as a roommate.  Dani informs Professor Xavier that she will not continue recruiting and will also leave the school.  Before leaving Xavier has her attend a small meeting in his office with her recently recruited students.  They are each asked who they would like as a faculty adviser and they all unanimously choose Dani as the person they trust most.  This convinces Dani to stay at the school as a teacher/adviser.

The Ties That Bind
New Mutants Vol.2 Issues #7-12

The new students settle into the new semester.  David, Sofia, and Laurie have become fast friends, while Josh feels rejected, primarily by David, due to his past as a Reaver.  Laurie likes him regardless.  Josh becomes friends with Julian and his group of friends.  Dani encourages David to forgive and befriend Josh.  She also mentions to David she is worried about former New Mutant Amara (Magma) who lies in a coma in the school infirmary.  Josh and Julian decide to try to use Josh's healing powers to revive her and become heroes at the school.  Amara revives, but quickly breaks out of the school, injuring the school nurse and leaving damage in her wake.  The boys receive detention, and as a result, Josh's parents sign over his custody to the school, disowning him.  Later, Julian rejects entry to a homeless mutant girl seeking help at the main gate.  During parents week, Sofia has a bad encounter with her father, and in a moment of grief, Emma encourages her to switch to her as an adviser, but Dani quickly quashes the idea.  Julian continues to run afoul of his adviser Northstar, and asks to be transferred over to Emma.  When Julian learns from her that Josh had been a Reaver, he attacks him and David and Sofia come to his defense.  Rahne Sinclair returns to the school, free of her Wolf powers, but more wild than before.  Laurie Collins crush on Josh grows, but Josh's attention is interrupted by the arrival of Rahne.  The students leave campus and discover the mutant Julian previously rejected may be involved in an electrical attack and robbery at the local coffee shop.  Dani and Shan agree to look for her, but refuse to involve the students.  Rahne feels this is a mistake and enlists them to find the girl first.  Josh, David, Sofia, and Laurie leave with Rahne to find the girl.  The team finds her buying drugs, but when they approach her, she pleads that she needs them to control her power.  She losses control and injures some of the team.  The students help to calm her and offer her the school's help.  The girl, named Noriko, agrees.  Back at Xavier's, Dani chastises Rahne for endangering her students, which Cyclops as headmaster, reinforces.  Scott refuses her a teaching position and Rahne decides to leave the school after her visit.  Josh befriends Rahne and a physical relationship results.  Noriko "Nori" gains gauntlets from Hank McCoy to help control her electrical emissions.  David befriends her, but she is reluctant to befriend anyone.  At Rahne's request, Josh heals Rahne and her wolf power suddenly returns and she viciously attacks Josh.  Laurie discovers them and scares Rahne from the school.  With Josh badly injured, Dani and Shan call another healer, Angel, for help, but he is hours away.  David and Nori determine that Josh could heal himself if he were awake.  Nori shocks him awake as David guides him to heal himself.  This works but has the result of turning his skin gold.  Rahne is tracked down by Dani and convinced to return to the school.  Later, Dani convinces Noriko to work at the coffee shop to make amends and repay the money she had stolen.

X-Men Reload
New Mutants Vol.2 Issue #13

The Xavier school and much of New York has recently been attacked by mutant terrorist Magneto, leaving much in ruins.  Former New Mutants Dani, Shan, and Rahne were assigned the task of shuttling the summer students to safety, thereby sitting out the encounter.  Donald Pierce, leader of The Reavers, lies in prison awaiting execution, but is given an offer of leniency in exchange for information on Kevin Ford who previously attacked him in New York.  During transport to his hearing, Pierce escapes.  Many former New Mutants arrive at the school to assess the damage.  The FBI inform the team that Pierce has escaped and will likely seek revenge against Kevin Ford or Josh Foley, the former Reaver that betrayed him.  The students are hid away from the school grounds, but Josh Foley agrees to return to the school to try to draw Pierce to him.  The plan works and as Pierce and his Reavers attack, the New Mutant team quickly jumps to the defense of the school; swiftly defeating Pierce.  Their battle complete, Dani considers if her true calling should be as part of an X-Men team vs. remaining with the students.

The students begin to notice mysterious events around the Xavier school.  Several students begin encountering haunting voices, the movement and disappearance of items, and other mischievous behavior.  The voices keep telling the students that they should leave the school.  While many think the pranks are due to a prankster using his mutant powers, after a particularly dangerous encounter in the Danger Room with the students, Dani realizes that the entity might actually be a ghost and she and the students investigate further.

Elsewhere, many of the team leaders enroll in Scott Summers tactical leadership class.  Julian demoralizes David in front of the class by indicating that he his power to temporarily absorb knowledge is insignificant in a tactical environment.  Scott mentions that David ability to learn the tactics of his opponents could be very valuable for a field leader, but David still feels inadequate.  David approaches Emma Frost to help him learn why he is not able to retain any of the knowledge he gains.  Emma informs him that his mind has set up blocks as a safety mechanism.  With the help of his Emma and his adviser Dani, David explores having Emma remove the blocks so that he may retain the knowledge he absorbs.

Too add further insult to injury, Northstar's body is captured by The Hand before it can be buried.  Not wanting to worry the students further, Scott and Emma decide that the planned memorial for Northstar will proceed without his body to allow the students some closure.

Toward the end of the school year, the faculty begin preparing for the school's spring dance.  Shan and Dani struggle with the extra burden of covering for the absent faculty.  For the students, anxiety runs high as each of them ponders if they will be asked to the dance by one of their classmates.  The dance goes off with several hitches among the students, but is for the most part uneventful.  The following day, the X-Men are called away by The Avengers on important business, and Dani is left to perform the Prizegiving ceremony alone.  Near the completion of the ceremony, The Blob crashes into the school.  Upset about not being invited into the new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, he intends to attack the X-Men single-handedly to make a name for himself.  With the X-Men away, and only Dani and Amara to protect the school, several New Mutants and Hellions join the fray to help defeat Blob.

Issues #37-41

The Institute students are transported from the school into Limbo by Belasco. He tortures several of the students, questioning them on the whereabouts of Illyana Rasputin. The few students who evaded Belasco's capture, including Blindfold, Rockslide, Anole and Pixie, are attacked by a group of Belasco's monsters, but are rescued by Illyana who offers her help.
Illyana reveals that she can defeat Belasco with a Soulsword, but having lost her own, she persuades Pixie to allow her to create a new one from her soul.  Illyana tells the students that Pixie, who now has a "soul dagger" created from the fraction of her innocence and soul, is the key to stopping Belasco.
Pixie kills Belasco with her Soulknife, losing more of her innocence. Illyana attempts to steal the rest of Pixie's soul, but memories of her past self come back when Colossus speaks to her.

Following the detection of a new mutant in Alaska, Cyclops tells the new X-Men that they are being held back from action. Disobeying his orders, several of the New X-Men, confront the Purifiers in Washington. As they're engaged in combat with them, Lady Deathstrike and her Reavers appear, and badly wound Hellion. They manage to escape due to the intervention of the undercover Rictor. Returning to the mansion for medical help, the students come under attack from Predator X, who had been feasting on the remains of the students buried on the grounds. Confronted by Armor and Gentle, they try to keep the monster back from the medical bay. Pixie remembers that X-23 was able to kill one of the Predators in their first encounter and attempts to teleport it to Laura. However, her spell mis-fires and she teleports all the present students, Predator X, Beast and Nightcrawler to Muir Island, where X-23 and the rest of X-Force and the X-Men were in battle with the Marauders. During the final battle, Cyclops pits the New X-Men against the Marauders, realising the team would be unfamiliar with the abilities of the students. The resulting fight goes to plan, Pixie stabbing the Malice-possessed Omega Sentinel and Dust attacking Exodus internally while Emma Frost distracts him with a telepathic battle.

Harold Beland "Spec" Richardson (October 27, 1922 – April 12, 2016) was an American professional baseball executive. He served as the general manager of two Major League Baseball teams, the Houston Astros (1967–75) and San Francisco Giants (1976–81).

Career
A native of Columbus, Georgia, Richardson began his baseball career in 1946 as concessions manager of the minor league Columbus Cardinals of the Class A Sally League. He advanced to business manager, and switched to the rival Jacksonville Tars (later the Braves) in 1949, staying with that franchise through 1958. He then served as general manager of the Houston Buffaloes of the Triple-A American Association from 1959–61.

Houston Astros
When the minor-league Buffaloes were succeeded by the MLB Houston Colt .45s in , Richardson joined the expansion team in its debut National League season as the Colt .45s' business manager. The team was renamed the Astros in .

Richardson took over as Astro general manager after his two predecessors, Paul Richards and Tal Smith, had built one of the most talented farm systems in baseball. In its five-year history, the Houston franchise had produced star players Rusty Staub, Joe Morgan, Jimmy Wynn, Larry Dierker and Dave Giusti, with future standouts Doug Rader and Don Wilson ripening in its minor league system.

But Paul Richards was fired by Astro owner Roy Hofheinz after the 1965 season. Houston spent  with Smith heading up a three-man baseball operations management team that included Richardson and field manager Grady Hatton. Then, during the 1966–67 off-season, Hofheinz named Richardson the club's official general manager, a job he would hold for almost nine full seasons.

Richardson traded 31-year-old Mike Cuellar to the Baltimore Orioles for Curt Blefary on December 4, 1968. Cuellar appeared in three consecutive World Series with the Orioles from 1969 to 1971 including a 1970 Championship run, was a co-recipient of the American League Cy Young Award in 1969, had at least 20 wins in each of four seasons and won 143 games in eight years in Baltimore. Blefary spent only one season with the Astros before being dealt to the New York Yankees.

Richardson then traded Staub — a 24-year-old outfielder and first baseman who displayed remarkable ability to hit for high average and decent power (leading the league in doubles in 1967) within the confines of the cavernous Astrodome — to the Montreal Expos for Jesús Alou and Donn Clendenon. Clendenon refused to report, however, and Montreal instead sent Jack Billingham, Skip Guinn, and cash. The club may have felt that Staub's ankle problems would shorten his career, but Staub instead continued his exceptional hitting in Montreal, Detroit, and New York. John Mayberry – another young first base prospect – was traded to the Kansas City Royals for mediocre bullpen help. There he became an integral part of the Royals.

However, Richardson's most memorable trade featured Morgan, the Astros' star second baseman, who was dealt (along with 4 time gold glove winner César Gerónimo, infielder Denis Menke, utility outfielder Ed Armbrister and starting pitcher Jack Billingham) to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for first baseman Lee May, second baseman Tommy Helms and utility infielder Jimmy Stewart. Morgan went on to become the offensive heart of the Big Red Machine, who would later win back to back World Series championships in both 1975 and 1976 and is widely held by many to be the greatest second baseman of the second half of the 20th century. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1990.

That trade is generally regarded as being one of the most lopsided in the history of Major League Baseball.

To his credit, Richardson recognized César Cedeño as a potential superstar, but the Astros spent his tenure and several years after it mired in mediocrity. During Richardson's nine-year stewardship, Houston would post only four .500 or above records (; –74). On July 11, 1975, with Houston at 32–58 and lodged in last place in the National League West Division, Richardson was fired and soon replaced by Smith, who returned to the Astros after a stint as an executive with the New York Yankees. Sabermetric research shows that without Richardson's trades, the Astros would likely have been the best team in the National League throughout much of the 1970s. Instead, the team would not appear in the playoffs until 1980.

San Francisco Giants
Richardson also served as general manager for the San Francisco Giants from December 1975 to July 8, 1981. He joined the Giants on the recommendation of other National League owners during a transitional period, while the team was sold by longtime owner Horace Stoneham, eventually to Bay Area businessman Bob Lurie.

For four of the five full seasons during which Richardson helmed the Giants, the team scuffled on the field, averaging only 74 wins a year. The exception, however, was .  Led by slugger Jack Clark and pitchers Vida Blue and Bob Knepper, the 1978 Giants posted an 89–73 record to finish a strong third in the NL West, only six games behind the eventual league champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Richardson was hailed as the Major League Executive of the Year by The Sporting News.

But the Giants returned to mediocrity in . Richardson was demoted from his general manager position on July 7, 1981 and replaced by Tom Haller who had been the team's director of player development. Richardson, then 58, finished his career in a consultants' role with the organization.

Death
He died in Columbus, Georgia at the age of 93 on April 12, 2016.

Drottning Silvias Pokal (literally: Queen Silvia's Trophy) is an annual international Group One harness event for trotters. It is held at Åby Racetrack in Mölndal, 10 km south of Gothenburg, Sweden. It is a stakes race for 4-year-old mares. The purse in the 2009 final was ≈US$273,000 (€200,000), of which the winner Mystic Lady U.S. won half.

Racing conditions
Drottning Silvia's Pokal has since the start in 1983 been raced over 2,140 meters (1.33 mile). Auto start (motorized gate) has been used every year, with the exception of 1988, when the race was started using volt start.

The final of the event is preceded by a number of elimination races, taking place approximately ten days before the final. Through the years, the number of elimination heats has been between two and six.

The 2009 Drottning Silvias Pokal
The four elimination heats of the 2009 event took place on April 30, 14 days before the final. Winners of these heats were Annicka, Mystical Ann, Mystic Lady U.S. and Vanessa du Ling. In the final Mystical Ann, Annicka and Vanessa du Ling was first, second and third betting favourites, respectively. Qualification winner Mystic Lady U.S. was one of the outsiders.

The starting list
 Mystical Ann - Åke Svanstedt
 Annicka - Jörgen Westholm
 Vanessa du Ling - Johnny Takter (Timo Nurmos)
 Mystic Lady U.S. - Robert Bergh (Åke Svanstedt)
 Miss Sixty - Olle Goop
 Lily Kronos - Lutfi Kolgjini
 Queen of Rock - Torbjörn Jansson (Jörgen Axén)
 Victoria Island - Thomas Uhrberg (Lutfi Kolgjini)
 Caddie Dream - Erik Adielsson (Stig H. Johansson)
 Calamara Donna - Örjan Kihlström (Roger Walmann)
 Tiffany Brodda - Per Lennartsson (Stig H. Johansson)
 Looking Flashy - Peter Untersteiner

(Trainer, if other than driver, in parentheses)

The race
Mystical Ann was able to keep the lead in the start. Third favourite Vanessa du Ling broke stride almost instantly and could not repair the damage. When Annicka attacked with 1,200 meters to go, leading driver Åke Svanstedt handed over the front position to Annicka and Jörgen Westholm. Behind Mystical Ann, as third on the rail, was Mystic Lady U.S, followed by Calamara Donna and Tiffany Brodda. On the outside, Lily Kronos relieved Miss Sixty as parker with one lap (1,000 meters) to go. Queen of Rock raced in third over, with Caddie Dream behind. The latter attacked in the final lap, and eventually finished fourth. Down the stretch, the front runners appeared to be tired and, using the double open stretch, Mystic Lady U.S. and Calamara Donna could claim first and second place. Third was Tiffany Brodda, who also finished fast on the inside. Favourite Mystical Ann came in fifth.

The American-born filly Mystic Lady U.S., who was sired by Andover Hall and out of Astraea Hanover, is trained by Åke Svanstedt. Mystic Lady U.S. won by a neck in 1:58.3f (mile rate)/1:13.7 (km rate). She is the biggest outsider to win in the history of the event.

Henri Grissino-Mayer was a tenured faculty member in the department of Geography at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville who resigned in lieu of termination on Oct. 1st, 2018 due to his own admission of sexual misconduct at the school.

Contributions
Grissino-Mayer is a dendrochronologist who specializes in the use of tree-ring analysis to reconstruct environmental and cultural history. He received a BS (with honors) in Geography in 1985 and an MA in Geography in 1988 from the University of Georgia. His thesis research directed by David Butler (now at Texas State University, San Marcos) investigated the relationships between climate and growth of shortleaf pine in north-central Georgia. He completed his Ph.D. under Tom Swetnam in the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at the University of Arizona in 1995. His dissertation research was conducted at El Malpais National Monument in New Mexico where he reconstructed precipitation and wildfire activity for the last 2,000 years. Grissino-Mayer has published over 90 peer-reviewed articles during his career. His work has appeared in high impact journals such as Ecology, Holocene, International Journal of Wildland Fire, and Journal of Archaeological Science  and has been featured on the Discovery Channel, the History Channel, and the Weather Channel.

Accusations of sexual harassment
Accusations against Grissino-Mayer dated back to the mid 2000s and as of 2018 were widely reported. His case is one of a number on U.S. campuses in which senior academics have been accused of using their position to legitimate or conceal sexual behavior involving students.

On August 7, 2018, a formal complaint of sexual harassment was filed and the University of Tennessee launched the third investigation into Grissino-Mayer’s alleged inappropriate behavior and sexual misconduct involving students after previous investigations in 2006 and 2011. A reprimand decided in 2006 was either not issued or misfiled and added to his personnel file only in 2011. The 2018 investigation stated that Grissino-Mayer, through “abuse of his power and position as a tenured full professor with an active research program, a well-funded laboratory and a steady pipeline of high-achieving graduate students, had inappropriate relationships with current and former students, including inappropriate sexual relationships.”

On August 10, 2018, Grissino-Mayer met with several faculty members, where he admitted that he “not only violated the university’s policy,” but also that he “knew” and understood that “he was violating the policy at the time of his misconduct.” Grissino-Mayer would only admit that he violated policy in relation to the initial complaint but within a couple of days following that complaint a packet containing multiple other complaints was received by the Title IX office, suggesting his misconduct spanned most of his career.

On August 31, 2018, he voluntarily tendered a written resignation, effective October 1, 2018. Provost David Manderscheid called Grissino-Mayer's actions "so egregious, many of us have struggled with whether the university should accept his resignation. After careful review of the competing concerns, I concluded that the most compelling interests are those of his current and former students." The university accepted his resignation on September 8, “effective immediately.” He is listed as “resigned in lieu of termination,” was issued a no-contact order for his current and former students and is no longer allowed on UT property without prior approval from the university. Grissino-Mayer is not allowed to hold the title of professor emeritus.

As of August 16, 2019, the final report on the third investigation was released to the public. With verbal and written complaints filed by 11 women, both current and past students, along with witness accounts of inappropriate actions, the department of OEDs investigation came to the conclusion that Grissino-Mayer's misconduct spanned years and that the allegations “more likely than not are true.”

Creighton C. Hart (February 22, 1906 – March 1, 1993), of Missouri, was a stamp collector and a writer of philatelic articles on specific niches of United States postage stamp collecting.

Collecting interests
Unlike some stamp collectors who collect stamps of many countries, Hart restricted his collecting to narrow views of American philately. He was a specialist in the postage stamps of the United States 1847 issue and postal history related to that issue.  He also specialized in collecting covers containing the free franks of American presidents and their widows. Hart's specialized collections were displayed at various philatelic shows and won many awards.

Philatelic literature
Along with Susan Marshall McDonald, Hart co-authored the “Directory of 10¢ 1847 Covers” which was published in 1970, and expanded by Hart afterwards.

For many years, Hart was an editor at The Chronicle of U.S. Classic Postal Issues, where he was responsible for editing the 1847-1851 section.

Honors and awards
Hart received the Luff Award for Distinguished Philatelic Research in 1970, and was named to the American Philatelic Society Hall of Fame in 1994.

William Oberst Jr. (born November 21, 1965) is an American stage, film and television actor of German descent.  Known for his work in horror and cult films, his career includes projects in film, television and one-man-show theater performances. He first received recognition for his portrayals of icon and humorist Lewis Grizzard as performed in theatrical tours across the Southern United States, and played the 'Facebook Stalker' in the 2011 online interactive video film and Facebook app Take This Lollipop.

Background
Oberst Jr. was born and raised in Georgetown, South Carolina, and is a graduate of the University of South Carolina. He is a native of Pawleys Island, South Carolina and lives and works in Los Angeles, California.

Oberst admits to having been a "fat kid" when young and says he "started doing imitations of my teachers to entertain the kids who picked on me… They couldn't hit me if they were laughing." This led to his growing up to become an actor and mimic known for bringing historic figures to life.

Career
Oberst has received attention for his many theatrical portrayals of historical figures, including Jesus, Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy.

Beginning in 1994, and continuing through 2004, Oberst portrayed Jesus in Jesus of Nazareth. Overlapping, and for the five years from 1996 through 2004, he played John F. Kennedy in the one man show JFK. Iconic historical figures who are revered or demonized by history draw Oberst's interest as an actor.  Oberst had also created the one man show Stand Up! When Comedy Was Funny where he featured the classic comedy routines of Rodney Dangerfield, Bob Newhart, Woody Allen and Moms Mabley.

He was chosen by Lewis Grizzard's widow Dedra and the former manager Steve Enoch to portray the southern icon, and since 1999 has been portraying Grizzard with the touring production that has continued for over 10 years under several names: A Tribute To Lewis Grizzard, Lewis Grizzard Returns, and Lewis Grizzard: In His Own Words.

In 2006, Oberst began his career in film and television career. Since 2008, he has appeared in over 100 independent film and television projects.

Recognition

Theater
After his very first performance as Kennedy in 1996, a woman from the audience, who identified herself as having served as a secretary in The White House during the Kennedy administration, told Oberst his characterization "made her grieve for the first time in 30 years." Of Oberst's seasonal and one-man interpretation of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, where he creates and plays a dozen different characters in a 45-minute "abridged" version, Kathyrn Martin of The Sun News (Myrtle Beach, South Carolina) wrote that in his shorter interpretation Oberst "focuses on the character of Scrooge and, more subtly, the craftsmanship of the original literary work," and "Oberst is a superb actor with an appreciation for both language and history."  Though skilled at bringing many characters to life, Oberst's years portraying Grizzard have received the greatest attention: reviewer Jeff Johnson of Charleston's Post and Courier praised Oberst's performance as "an uncanny impersonation;" Alec Harvey of The Birmingham News also felt that his impersonation was impressive: "Oberst, for all intents and purposes, is Grizzard in the show," and he "brings back to life one of the most beloved Southern writers of the 20th century," and Tanya Perez-Brennan of The Florida Times-Union reported that "throughout the performance, Oberst had a commanding stage presence".

Film and television
Oberst brings this same attention to character detail to television and film. Regarding his portrayal of General William T. Sherman in the History Channel's 2007 Sherman's March, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported, alluding to Oberst's prior fame playing Lewis Grizzard, "Could it be? Lewis Grizzard burning Atlanta?" Dorothy Rabinowitz of The Wall Street Journal noted that the docudrama "owes much to the flinty authority of William Oberst Jr., splendid in the role of Sherman." Of his role in Dogs of Chinatown (2008) as Vitario, the mob's second in command, Kung Fu Cinema wrote "[Oberst] is the film's best actor and with his unique looks I can see him carving out a successful dramatic career in Hollywood as a heavy, something he seems to be doing with roles in a couple upcoming horror films."

For Oberst's portrayal as Dale, the slightly "off" backwoods swamp-dwelling Ranger in Dismal (2008), reviewer Dustin Hall of Brutal As Hell wrote, "Something everyone can appreciate is the performance by Bill Oberst Jr. as Dale, who has great screen presence as the patriarch of the flesh-eating family. Only two years into his film career, Bill's played a variety of business and small-town sheriff types, now he lends a malicious glee and a disturbing, penetrating stare to Dismal to surprising effect", and Duane L. Martin of Rogue Cinema wrote, "I don't even know how to describe how great [Oberst] was at bringing just the right personality and intensity to the role. He was the quintessential swamp rat, but at the same time, he was much more than that. The mannerisms and personality he brought to the role made the character memorable. So many times in films like this, these types of characters are just generic and forgettable, but when I look back on this film now, his character is the one that stands out to me the most."

In 2011 Oberst played the creepy "Facebook Stalker" in the online film Take This Lollipop, an interactive video which uses the Facebook Connect application to bring viewers themselves into the film though use of their own pictures and information posted to Facebook, and which underscores the danger when one posts too much personal information online. In describing the opening sequences, CNN wrote "A sweaty, wild-eyed man in a stained undershirt hunches over his computer in a shadowy basement. He's broken into your Facebook account and is reading your posts as his dirty, cracked fingernails paw at the keyboard. Rage (jealousy? hate?) builds as he flips through your photos and scrolls through your list of friends. He rocks back and forth, growing more agitated as the pages flash past. Then he consults a map of your city and heads to his car."  Ad Age praised Oberst's portrayal of a "sweat-covered, mouse-rubbing" stalker by writing that Oberst "gives Hannibal Lecter a run for his money."

The 2012 B-Movie Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, was widely panned (as is most films by The Asylum). However, most critics praised Oberst's portrayal of President Lincoln, citing it as one of the best performances ever given in an independent horror movie:  Dread Central reviewer Matt Serafini wrote, "If there existed an Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a B-Movie, this year's winner would easily be Bill Oberst, Jr., for his outstanding portrayal of our 16th President... it is certainly the closest thing to an award caliber performance you'll probably ever see in a movie produced by The Asylum", while JoBlo'''s Jason Adams wrote "Oberst is legitimately great in the role and his presidential chops suggest he could actually play Lincoln in a biopic that didn't involve dismembering heads every five minutes", and CHUD.com's Jared Rasic wrote that Oberst's "Lincoln is powerful, noble and pretty damn badass with a scythe", expanding "Bill Oberst Jr. is a film saver. Each role of his I've seen, he always completely commits to the performance, whether he's playing a redneck cannibal, a cyber stalker or the 16th President of the United States... Oberst Jr. is on the cusp of becoming a very known quantity and has a very good chance at becoming America's next boogeyman".

The 2012 Shockfest Film Festival in Hollywood, CA featured the Shocker Awards.  Jourdan McClure's Children of Sorrow won 'Best Film' and Bill Oberst Jr. won 'Best Actor'.

In March 2012, the UK-based site Erebus Horror named Bill Oberst Jr. the "King of Horror" following a vote from their readers.

In 2017, the iHolly International Film Festival awarded Bill Oberst Jr. their Life-Time Achievement Award. In 2021, Horror Fuel Magazine announced that Oberst will co star in the 2022 horror film Jasper, alongside Kane Hodder, Bill Moseley and Michael Berryman.

Tooncast is a Latin American pay television channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery through its International division. It was launched on December 1, 2008; its programming consists of classical animation, both from Hanna-Barbera, Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network. The channel is a commercial-free service.

History
The channel was launched on December 1, 2008, after all classic animation programming from Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera and MGM were removed from Boomerang Latin America, to center the network towards the teen audience, and replacing it with live-action programming instead.

Tooncast follows the Boomerang US old channel line-up, which aired classic cartoons. Old Cartoon Network commercials are also broadcast on the channel, such as "Cartoons That Never Made It", Cartoon Network Groovies and Boomerang Shorties. Unlike other channels of Turner Broadcasting System Latin America, few pay-TV providers carry Tooncast. The only exception is Brazil, where the channel is available on most subscription TV providers, such as Oi TV, Claro TV, GVT TV, Vivo TV, Kiwisat and Nossa TV. Since August 1, 2014, Tooncast began to be carried on NET, the biggest cable television company in Brazil.

Even though Tooncast remained with a single pan-regional feed with audio tracks in Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and English, in November 2012 the channel started using the Brazilian content rating system.

On September 26, 2018, the channel was picked up by Sky Brasil.

On April 1, 2019, all classic programming from the Turner animation library, including productions from Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera and MGM, were removed from the schedule making focus on Cartoon Network original productions, and also airing anime series like Pokémon and the Brazilian animated series Monica and Friends, following WarnerMedia's business restructure, that also affected programming on sister networks like Cartoon Network and Boomerang. However, it eventually returned from June 1–July 1, 2019 and they have recently been reinstated. The cartoons of Hanna-Barbera, Warner Bros. and MGM returned to the programming in June, however, that change was made again in July of the same year, and then returned in January 2020, where they were included for the first time in the program channel such as Batman Beyond, Teen Titans and ThunderCats.

On June 1, 2021, the channel's programming underwent a drastic change, being greatly reduced compared to previous months; However, this reduction in programs is also accompanied by some new releases. It is speculated that these changes came as an effect of the launch in Latin America of the streaming service HBO Max.

An online post office is a commercial mail receiving agency that implements the concept of hybrid mail, enabling conventional mail to become electronic, or electronic correspondence to be printed and mailed at a remote location.  As paper correspondence becomes inconvenient for businesses that are evolving to maintain a paperless office, services have emerged to outsource the task of scanning snail mail as it arrives.  Some online post offices will scan envelopes for subscribing customers, and offer handling options (E.g. whether to scan the contents, store, or shred them).  Some providers will systematically scan and make the contents immediately available.

In contrast, L-Mail is designed for senders, enabling mail to go from an electronic form to conventional mail.  Some online post offices will offer a send feature as a companion service.  Sending mail electronically and having it printed close to the delivery point shortens the time it takes the correspondence to reach the recipient.

MacGregor Donald Bartley Sharp (born October 1, 1985) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre who is currently with the SønderjyskE Ishockey of the Metal Ligaen. He has previously played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Anaheim Ducks.

Playing career
On March 31, 2009, Sharp signed a two-year, entry level contract with the Anaheim Ducks of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Sharp became the first skater to jump from the ECHL to the National Hockey League (NHL) in the same season without first stopping in the American Hockey League (AHL), playing 15 games with the Bakersfield Condors earning 4 goals, and 10 assists. He played 8 games with the Anaheim Ducks going scoreless, before he was assigned to the San Antonio Rampage.

On February 28, 2011, Sharp was traded along with Maxim Lapierre to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Joel Perrault and a third round pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.

On August 2, 2011, Sharp left North America and agreed to a contract with HC Bolzano of the then Italian Serie A. After two seasons amongst the Foxes top scorers, Sharp remained with the club as they transferred leagues into the Austrian Hockey League for a higher level of competitiveness.

On May 30, 2014, Sharp changed European leagues, agreeing to a one-year deal with Schwenninger Wild Wings of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. In the 2014–15 season, Sharp struggled offensively with just 6 goals and 14 points in 47 games. He was not tendered a new contract upon Schwenninger failing to qualify for the post-season.

André Luiz Leite Galvão (; born September 29, 1982) is a Brazilian grappler and professional mixed martial artist. A 4th degree Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under  Fernando "Tererê" Augusto as well as a Judo black belt, Galvão is one of the most decorated athletes ever, having won most major international tournaments multiple times.

Galvão is the co-founder and head coach of Atos Jiu Jitsu in San Diego, California, one of the most successful BJJ teams in competitive sport, and a coach to numerous world champions. He is the author of the martial arts book Drill to Win: One Year to Better Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

In June 2022 Galvão was inducted into the IBJJF Hall of Fame & in September 2022, he was inducted into the ADCC Hall of Fame.

Submission grappling
Galvão has won the 2011 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship (weight and absolute) Brazilian National Championship, World Jiu-Jitsu Championship and Pan American Championships multiple times  and has also taken third place in the 2007 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship at both -77 kg and openweight. Despite his frequent competition success, Galvao has stated that he only began to learn Wrestling as an adult after he moved to America in 2008.

Galvão was a competitor in the 2009 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship in Barcelona, Spain where he placed second in the -88 kg class. More recently, Galvao had a standout performance in 2011, first by winning the Ultimate Absolute NYC by defeating standouts Antonio Braga Neto, Vinny Magalhaes, and Rustam Cshiev. At the 2011 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship Galvão captured gold in both the -88 kg and absolute weight classes defeating Rousimar Palhares and Pablo Popovitch, in each respective finals.

Galvão defeated Braulio Estima by rear naked choke in their Superfight at the 2013 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship.

Galvão faced Chael Sonnen at Metamoris IV on August 9, 2014.  He won the bout via a rear-naked choke submission.

At ADCC 2017, Galvão defeated Claudio Calasans via decision.

At ADCC 2019, Galvão defeated Felipe Pena via points (2-0).

Despite initially going back and forth on whether or not to retire from the sport altogether, Galvao confirmed in 2021 that he will be returning at least one more time to defend his ADCC superfight championships at the 2022 World Championship event. In November 2021, Galvao became part of the inaugural class of the ADCC Hall of Fame thanks to his records as the longest-serving superfight champion and most decorated competitor.

At ADCC 2022, Galvão lost his superfight title to Gordon Ryan, being submitted by a rear-naked choke.

Mixed martial arts
Galvão made his mixed martial arts debut in 2008, and in 2009 he entered DREAM's 2009 Welterweight Tournament.

Since completing the tournament, Galvão fought in Strikeforce. He earned a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the promotion before retiring from the sport.

Despite being retired from MMA for over a decade, Galvão revealed on November 30, 2020 that he was planning on making a return to professional MMA competition at some point in 2021.

On November 8, 2021, it was announced that Galvão had signed a multi-fight contract with ONE Championship. He made his promotional debut in a grappling match against ONE Middleweight and ONE Light Heavyweight Champion Reinier de Ridder at ONE: X on March 26, 2022.
