Leonid Skirko Ukr. Леонід Миколайович Скірко (27 April 1939 – 8 June 2012) was a Canadian bass-baritone opera singer of Ukrainian origin.

Biography and Career
He was born in Shcherbynivka near Lozova, Ukraine to Marta (ne Havrysh), and to Mykola Skirko. The family fled both German and Russian occupation by crossing Ukraine to the relative safety of German Refugee camps. From 1945 to 1949, the Skirkos waited in a German Displaced persons camp in Augsburg for the opportunity to immigrate to another country. From 1949 to 1955 the family lived in San Paolo, Brazil. Leonid's passion for music was stirred up by attending Orthodox liturgy with his beloved babushka (grandmother), and singing in church choirs from the age of 9. Leonid was 15 when he arrived in Canada in 1955 with this family.

Early period
From the age of 17 on, he took singing lessons and coaching from Maestro Hryhorij Shwedchenko, the internationally famous tenor of the Kiev Opera in the Ukraine, and later, from Professor Kazymyr Oleshkevych, a former conductor in the Kiev Opera. From the years of 1955 to 1969 Leonid took up his high school and university studies, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from McMaster University in 1964. In his spare time, he had the rich experiences of singing opera with the McMaster Operatic Society under the direction of Lee Heppner and later, the Hamilton Opera.

Leonid won several Kiwanis Music Festival Awards, and the W.J. Pickard Limited Scholarship. In 1962 he was invited as a soloist in many concerts in the Hamilton area of Ontario. For the McMaster University Operatic Society, he sang the role of Kezal, the marriage broker, in The Bartered Bride, Lucas in The Student Prince, Escamillo in Carmen, as well that of Mephistopheles in the opera Faust. Earlier he sang in Down in the Valley. In 1965, he performed excerpts from the part of Don Alfonso's role in Così fan tutte. He sang with the Canadian Opera Chorus from 1964 to 1969. Leonid was a member of the Opera Quartet of Hamilton.

With the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra and on television, Leonid performed Il maestro di cappella in two concerts. He sang the bass part in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, and with the Hamilton Opera, played Colline in La bohème, Falstaff in The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Gianni Schicchi in the opera of the same name. The Hamilton Spectator and The Ukrainian Weekly archives chronicle many of Leonid's early performances. In the sixties, Leonid was a soloist in the recording of the Easter Vespers Service with the choir of St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Orthodox Cathedral in Toronto, Ontario.

He appeared with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra singing the roles of Count Ceprano and Brander in concert performances of Verdi's Rigoletto in 1968, and in The Damnation of Faust in 1969. Famous conductor Seiji Ozawa conducted these opera concerts at Massey Hall. Almost a decade later in 1977, Leonid returned to the Toronto Symphony for a concert under the direction of the guest conductor and grand lady of opera Sarah Caldwell, singing excerpts from Rigoletto, in the role of Sparafucile, performed at the Forum in Ontario Place.

German period
In 1969 Leonid moved to Germany. From 1969 to 1971 he sang ten roles in ten operas in Pfalztheatre in the city of Kaiserslautern, Southwest Germany: Raimundo in Lucia di Lammermoor, Sparafucile in Rigoletto, Bonzo in Butterfly, Der Bauer in Die Kluge, Dr. Grenvil in La traviata, Dr. Fabrizzio in Il Campiello, Rocco in Fidelio, Simon in Gianni Schicchi, Padre Guardiano in La forza del destino, and Il Commendatore in Don Giovanni.

From 1971 until 1973, Leonid was contracted to the Theater Der Stadt Bonn. In Bonn Leonid sang seven roles in six operas. Commendatore in Don Giovanni, Masetto also in "Don Giovanni, Micha in Bartered Bride, Montano in Othello, Reidinger in Mathis der Maler, Alidoro in La Cenerentola(Cinderella), and the 1st Nazarene in Salome. He also recorded Ukrainian songs with the Suedwest Rundfunk Orchestra.

Returning to Canada
He had a full season as a soloist with the Canadian Opera Company in 1978, and then a prolific period of singing Ukrainian Opera and national song with the Canadian Ukrainian Opera Company and the Dnipro Choir of Edmonton Productions under the tutelage of Volodymyr Kolesnyk.

Leonid returned to Toronto in 1973 and joined the Ivan Romanoff chorus and sang with his group for five years until 1978, singing weekly on CBC radio and in the summer every Sunday at the Ontario Place Forum.

With the Canadian Ukrainian Opera Association he sang performances of the lead role of Ivan Karas in Zaporozhets za Dunayem in 1975. In that same year, he sang in a vocal musical concert for the Ukrainian Art Society "Kozub". In 1976 he performed for the 50th anniversary of St. Vladimir's Cathedral in Toronto. In 1977, he was featured in the Ukrainian Heritage Evening at the Forum in Ontario Place. In 1978 Leonid performed for a full season as a soloist with the Canadian Opera Company. He sang in Tchaikovsky's Joan of Arc, Verdi's Rigoletto, "Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier playing the Cardinal, Count Ceprano, and the police commissioner.

In June 1979, the Canadian Ukrainian Opera Association with Leonid in the role of Kozak Maksim, produced the North American première of the Ukrainian opera Kupalo, under the direction of Volodymyr Kolesnyk. There were many concert tours, including an invitation to Festival Canada on Canada Day, The Show on the Hill, which was telecast nationally by CBC TV from the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa.

1980s
In the year 1980, Leonid was the featured artist at the final Ukrainian Festival in Vancouver at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Eremenko's cantata Conquerors of the Prairie's, a collaboration of the Dnipro Choir in Edmonton and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, called on his talents in 1982. A record Ukraine is Rising which featured Leonid and other soloists was produced by Boris Dunayevsky-Dniprovy. A second one entitled You Are Alive Ukraine! would be produced later by Dnipro Art Production. 1981 marked the premiere of Kupalo in Edmonton. The opera Zaporozhets za Dunayem which had been staged in Toronto and Hamilton was followed by an appearance in Carnegie Hall, also in 1981. This was an opera concert with the American Symphony Orchestra and the Ukrainian Canadian Opera Chorus. There were opera concerts in Ottawa and Montreal. The following article raved about Leonid, and I quote, The two basses were outstanding. Scenes and duets involving the bass Karas are of interest. The most outstanding was the bass Leonid Skirko as Karas. His vocal performance matched his acting.

Kupalo, which in 1979 had been staged in Toronto was now performed in Edmonton in 1981 at the Jubilee Auditorium, and the role of Kozak Maxim once again brought him acclaim. This opera was produced by the Ukrainian Dnipro Ensemble of Edmonton. Also in 1981, there was a symphony concert at Hamilton Place with the McMaster Symphony Orchestra and the Mohawk College Singers featuring Leonid in the coronation scene of Boris Godunov. There were two opera concerts in Ottawa and Montreal. 1982 marked the 50th anniversary concert of the Ukrainian National Federation in Edmonton, and in 1982 and 1983, duet concerts were performed with Hanna Kolesnyk, in Toronto, Cleveland and Detroit. In 1983, the character Ivan Karas came to life again in two performances of Zaporozhets za Dunayem at the Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton. A portrait of Leonid and his co-star Hanna Kolesnyk was commissioned for the production and painted by the Ukrainian artist Ludmila.

1984 marked Ukrainian Opera Week in Toronto which included Natalka Poltavka and Zaporozhets Za Dunayem along with a gala concert which starred Leonid every evening of that week.
In 1985 and 1987 there were two concerts of Bortnyansky's Sacred Music, his 35 sacred concertos for the Millennium year of the Baptism of Ukraine, in Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall. In 1986 the female group Merezhi from Edmonton appeared in Toronto with Leonid. There were several millennium concerts. 1988 marked the official opening of the St.Volodymyr Cultural Centre in Oakville. There were concerts of mention in Detroit as well.

The magnificent Sacred Choral Concertos were an a cappella series of concertos written over a 25-year period from 1780 to 1805. These use a full choir against soloists or small ensembles known as concertinos. Bortnyansky's melodies are saturated with Ukrainian folk tunes, while the texts are taken from the Book of Psalms. The Millennium Choir soloists consisted of 6 sopranos, 3 altos, 4 tenors, 6 basses. There were two concerts to launch the recordings, one in 1985 and one in 1987 in Roy Thomson Hall. The project was conceived by Maestro Kolesnyk, with the support of the Ukraine Millennium Foundation. No less than two hundred singers auditioned from Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan and only 40 were selected. Leonid is featured in 13 of the 35 concertos. The dream or original conception was to travel across the continent and beyond, but sadly, with Kolesnyk's death, this was not to occur.

1990s and 2000s

In 1991, Roxolana was performed in Toronto. In 1993, the Dnipro Choir celebrated 40 years of song by commissioning a choral-symphonic work, the oratorio «Sacred Dnipro» by Valeri Kikta and librettist Sophia Maydanska. The world premiere of this oratorio was in Edmonton with Leonid singing the bass part. In 1996, the Canadian Ukrainian Opera Association, together with the Dnipro Choir performed the oratorio «Sacred Dnipro» in Massey Hall in Toronto on April 28, 1996. The live performance of that concert was recorded and the C.D.s are still available. This oratorio offers a panoramic view of the major epochs in the history of Ukraine, attempting to capture the indomitable spirit of the Ukrainian people. The executive producer of this effort was Toronto's Alla Shklar.

In 2002, Leonid sang the readings from the apostles for the nationally televised funeral of Ukrainian Canadian Governor General Ray Hnatyshyn. The millennium brought the release of the Sacred Dnipro C.D. in 2006.

He died on 8 June 2012 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Family
Leonid had sister Nina (married to Andy) and their son Boris (Laura).

Leonid's first marriage was in 1969 to Sonia Skirko and included 3 children, Lesia (married to Scott), Taras (married to Sherry), Oleh, grandchildren — John, Fallon, Sam and Lucy.

Leonid remarried in 2006 to Merika Graham Skirko.

Garry Wilson (born 25 March 1963 in Glasgow) is a Scottish former footballer and manager. As a player, he appeared for Queen's Park, Stranraer and gained a Scottish Under-18 cap. He is most known for his time as manager of Eastbourne Borough, spending 13 years at the helm. In his time at the club he won several promotions, taking the club from the Sussex County League to the Conference National.

Playing career
Garry started his playing career with a youth team called Campsie Black Watch and at the age of 20 joined Scottish Second Division side Queens Park as an amateur in which he spent two years before joining Kirkintilloch Roy Rob for a season where he headed to south west Scotland to semi-professional Scottish Second Division side Stranraer. After two seasons with Stranraer, he moved south to non-league Hastings Town, playing in the Southern League Southern Division. Shortly after joining Hastings, he suffered a serious leg fracture whilst playing in a match against Witney Town which ended his playing career.

Managerial career

Hastings Town
After fracturing his leg he became the reserve team manager for Hastings Town moving up the ranks to first team manager in March 1995 at the young age of 32. Leading Hastings to win the Southern League Cup (1995) and Sussex Senior Cup (1996), before being sacked in January 1998 after losing in the F.A. Trophy against Bath City.

Eastbourne Borough
Garry joined St Leonards as Assistant Manager before joining Eastbourne Borough, then known as Langney Sports, in February 1999 taking over from caretaker manager Nick Greenwood, who became his assistant manager. In his first full season at Langney he led the team to win the Sussex County League and playing in the Southern League Eastern Division for the first time in the team's history. Two seasons later he led them into the Southern League Premier Division winning a place in the newly formed Conference South. Gaining fifth place in the first season, Garry saw the team enter the play-off final for the Conference National at Stoke's Brittania Stadium, but lost to Altrincham.

In 2008, again Garry brought the team into the play-off final for a place in the Conference National and won 2–0 to Hampton & Richmond Borough at Stevenage.

February 2009 was Garry's 10th anniversary with Eastbourne Borough and working with Nick Greenwood, stating when he joined in 1999 that he'd get Eastbourne from the County Leagues into the Football Conference, a feat he never thought he'd achieve, and now hoping to reach the Football League before he retires.
He also has a son called Liam Wilson and a wife called Sally Wilson.

After a difficult 2009/10 season Wilson managed to keep Eastbourne up on the final day by beating Oxford United 1–0 with an 84th-minute penalty from Simon Weatherstone. 2010/11 was equally difficult as Eastbourne found it difficult cope with a part-time outfit in a virtually full-time league, and on many occasions Wilson found himself with his hands tied. Eastbourne were relegated a few weeks before the end of the season (the first since Wilson took over 12 years earlier and after 4 promotions) despite a few spirited performances and results late on which was similar to their good early season form. Wilson was very close to leaving the job several times, including after the 4–1 home defeat to Tamworth, and it was rumoured that Steve King was ready to be his replacement. However this didn't materialise and Wilson was confirmed staying for the 2011/12 season along with his long term assistant Nick Greenwood in April 2011, much to the satisfaction of many connected to the club, this was despite agreeing to depart the club when they plan to go full-time in a few seasons because of work commitments.

Garry left the club on 17 January 2012 following an inconsistent start to the season and with the team struggling for form. At the time of his exit Boro stood in 16th position in the Conference South.

After a short break from management, Garry was appointed assistant manager at Eastbourne Town on 25 September 2012.

Lewes

Wilson was appointed manager of Eastbourne Borough's local rivals Lewes in late May 2013, replacing Simon Wormull. On being appointed Wilson said, "I am thrilled to be joining such a progressive club. It's going to be an exciting challenge and one we are all looking forward to. I've been mightily impressed with all I've seen and heard at the Dripping Pan and I cannot wait to get started." On 17 February 2015 Wilson, his assistant manager Danny Bloor and first team coach Dean Lightwood departed Lewes by mutual consent.

Hastings United

Garry Wilson was appointed manager of Hastings United in May 2015. Wilson issued the following statement in reaction to his appointment: "I am very much looking forward to returning to the club where it all started for me in England, and where I believe that I have unfinished business." Garry resigned from Hastings on 23 April 2016 after narrowly missing out on the play-offs.

Yuzuru Ito was the founder of Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) and Ito University. United Technologies Corporation (UTC) established Ito University as the tangible means to build a network of lean leadership philosophies to improve UTC's internal and external supply systems.

When he was 64, a retiree from Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. (MC), Ito moved to a Hartford suburb to work on improving the productivity of UTC's businesses. George David first encountered Ito in 1989, after he was brought in by the unit's Japanese joint venture partner, Matsushita Industrial, to try to figure out why Otis's newly designed, modern Elevonic 401 elevators were not performing in the field, including some that caught fire. Their callback rates (the number of times per year a building owner has to call mechanics for service) were as high as 40 per unit a year, vs. an average of 0.5 for rival Mitsubishi Electric. Otis dispatched a team of US engineers to get the machines working. Their Japanese partners got directly involved with the engineers who were tasked with analyzing the cause of the problem. Later, with Ito in charge, the work they did changed the fundamental design of the elevator line worldwide. After his death, Ito University was established by United Technologies Company (UTC) to educate and promote quality, Lean & philosophies across all UTC divisions worldwide.

Ito University Foundations
This internal "university" is a three-day course that teaches UTC managers the fundamentals of improving the quality of UTC products, services and business processes. Ito University Foundations is a living tribute to the late Yuzuru Ito, UTC's quality advisor, who led quality efforts for Japan's Matsushita Electric (known in the U.S. as Panasonic) for decades. He was one of the world's foremost experts on quality and UTC's quality advisor from the late 1980s until his death in 2000.

The Horn River Formation (also Horn River Shale) is a stratigraphic unit of Devonian  (early Givetian to late Frasnian) age in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.

It is a thick sequence of marine sediments that was first described in outcrop on the banks of the Horn River, a tributary of the Mackenzie River, in the Northwest Territories (at the time District of Mackenzie) by Whittaker in 1922, and it takes its name from that river. In 1963 it was redefined in the subsurface of the Fort Nelson area of British Columbia (well Fort Nelson a-95-J/94-J-10) by F.F. Gray and J.R. Kassube. It is significant for its shale gas resources.

Lithology
The Horn River Formation is composed of dark siliceous and calcareous shale, and argillaceous bituminous limestone.

Stratigraphy
The Horn River Formation is included in the Beaverhill Lake Group. It is subdivided into the following members, from top to base:
Muskwa Member: bituminous, mildly radioactive shale
Otter Park Member: grey calcareous shale
Evie Member: black silty limestone

Distribution
The Horn River Formation is present in the subsurface in northeastern British Columbia and extends to Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, where it outcrops. It reaches a maximum thickness of  in the subsurface of the Fort Nelson area.

Relationship to other units
The Horn River Formation is overlain by the Fort Simpson Formation and underlain by the limestones of the Lonely Bay Formation, Nahanni Formation or Pine Point Formation. It is equivalent to the Slave Point Formation. In the Northwest Territories it includes the Muskwa Formation, and the Waterways Member of the Hay River Formation. It includes the pinnacle reefs of the Horn Plateau Formation.

Hydrocarbon production
Shale gas is present in the siliceous shales of all three members of the Horn River Formation in northeastern British Columbia, and it is produced in the Greater Sierra oil field north of Fort Nelson. Horizontal drilling and fracturing techniques are used to extract the gas from the low permeability shales. The original-gas-in-place volumes are estimated to be up to 500 Tcf, making it the third largest North American natural gas accumulation discovered prior to 2010. Companies involved in the extraction of natural gas from the Horn River Shale include Ovintiv, EOG Resources, Stone Mountain Resources, ExxonMobil, Quicksilver Resources, and CNOOC Petroleum North America ULC. Horn River gas contains 10-12% , much higher than the 2–4.5% of conventional natural gas. If this gas is processed normally about 500 million tonnes of  will be released into the atmosphere.

Hydraulic fracturing in Canada

Massive hydraulic fracturing has been widely used in Alberta since the late 1970s. The method is currently used in development of the Cardium, Duvernay, Montney and Viking formations in Alberta, Bakken formation in Saskatchewan, Montney and Horn River formations in British Columbia.

Trichozoa is a group of excavates.

"Fornicata" is a similar grouping, but it excludes Parabasalia.

"Eopharyngia" is an even more narrow grouping, including Retortamonadida and Diplomonadida but not Carpediemonas.

Trimastix is a genus of excavates, the sole occupant of the order Trimastigida. Trimastix are bacterivorous, free living and anaerobic. When first observed in 1881 by William Kent, the morphology of Trimastix was not well described but over time the oral structure and flagellar organization have become clearer. There are few known species, and the genus's role in the ecosystem is largely unknown. However, it is known that they generally live in marine environments within the tissues of decaying organisms to maintain an anoxic environment. Much interest in this group is related to its close association with other members of Anaeromonadea.  These organisms do not have classical mitochondria, and as such, much of the research involving these microbes is aimed at investigating the evolution of mitochondria.

One species is Trimastix pyriformis.

History of Knowledge

Trimastix were first described by William Kent in 1881 when he observed a Trimastix cell in a sample sourced from decaying fuci seaweed. He described the genera at the time as free-swimming naked animalcules that are oval, or pear shaped, with a membranous border and three flagella inserted on the anterior end. Kent observed one flagellum facing forwards and two facing backwards. It was also noted in this account that Trimastix had a visually apparent nucleus and contractile vacuole but no visual oral aperture. Kent determined that Trimastix was a distinct genus, despite similarities to Dallingeria, because of the lateral border he observed which was not present in Dallingeria.

It was later determined that the lateral border Kent was referring to was in fact the oral aperture of Trimastix, which also contained a fourth flagella. Today, the morphology of Trimastix is better understood, including details not initially observed by Kent, such as Trimastix lacking a conventional mitochondrion. Current research indicates that despite there being no strong evidence that the organelle can produce ATP, there are many mitochondrial functions that it appears to have maintained.

Habitat and Ecology
Trimastix can only survive in anaerobic habitats, but unlike many amitochondriate anaerobes, Trimastix are not generally parasitic. Trimastix instead consume bacteria through their ventral groove. In order to maintain an anoxic environment without parasitism or endosymbiosis, Trimastix are most often found inside the tissues of dead and decaying marine vegetation.

Morphology
Trimastix cells are oblong broad anteriorly and taper posteriorly. Trimastix is 20 µm long and 8 µm wide. A kinetid of four flagella is located on the anterior end of the cell with one flagella anteriorly oriented, two flagella posteriorly oriented, and the fourth flagella sitting within an oral groove on the ventral side.

Trimastix species do not have mitochondria, but they do have remnants of an ancestral mitochondria, in the form of a mitosome. There is no evidence this mitochondria-like organelle produces ATP, but there is evidence that the glycolytic pathway is intact within it. The mitosome also still appears to be targeted by proteins involved in amino acid metabolism, transport and maturation of proteins and transport of metabolites so it likely retains some mitochondrial function relating to those areas. Trimastix have one anterior pear-shaped nucleus that contains a large nucleolus.

The 2009–10 Bundesliga was the 47th season of the Bundesliga, Germany's premier football league. The season commenced on 7 August 2009 with the traditional season-opening match involving the defending champions VfL Wolfsburg and VfB Stuttgart. The last games were played on 8 May 2010. There was a winter break between 21 December 2009 and 14 January 2010, though the period was reduced from six to three weeks.
The season was overshadowed by the suicide of Hannover 96 captain and goalkeeper Robert Enke on 10 November 2009.

Teams
Karlsruher SC and Arminia Bielefeld were directly relegated at the end of the 2008–09 season after finishing in the bottom two places of the table. Karlsruhe ended a two-year stint in Germany's top flight, while Arminia were relegated for the sixth time since the introduction of the Bundesliga, a current record, after five years.

The relegated teams were replaced by 2008–09 2. Bundesliga champions SC Freiburg and runners-up Mainz 05. Freiburg returned to the Bundesliga after four years, and Mainz began a second tenure in the top division after being relegated in the 2006–07 season.

A further place in the league was decided through a two-legged play-off. Energie Cottbus, as the 16th-placed Bundesliga team, had to face 1. FC Nürnberg, who finished third in 2. Bundesliga. Nürnberg won both matches by an aggregated score of 5–0 and thus earned their seventh promotion to the Bundesliga since its introduction, also a current record. Their opponents ended a second three-year top flight tenure and left the Bundesliga without a club from former East Germany for only the second time since East German teams were included before the 1991–92 season, with the other time being in 2005–06.

Stadia and locations
BayArena, home of Bayer Leverkusen, was expanded from 22,500 to 30,000 spectators during the first half of 2009. Other stadia which are recently undergoing renovation or expansion are Weserstadion in Bremen, HSH Nordbank Arena in Hamburg and Mercedes-Benz Arena in Stuttgart.

Notes
 Weserstadion will be increased in capacity during the season.
 HSH Nordbank Arena will be expanded to a capacity of 61,000 from January 2010.
 Mercedes-Benz Arena will be converted to a football-only stadium during the 2009–10 and 2010–11 seasons. As a consequence, the usual capacity of 58,000 is currently reduced to 42,101.

Personnel and sponsoring

Managerial changes
Eight teams underwent coaching changes during the off-season, among them champions VfL Wolfsburg and runners-up Bayern Munich. Christoph Daum made use of a unilateral contract option to terminate his contract at 1. FC Köln.

John Charles Rogers (born 16 September 1950) is an English former footballer who played as a centre-forward.

He moved from Burscough to Wigan Athletic, then competing in the Northern Premier League, in 1972. In four years with the club he scored 77 goals in 174 league appearances and helped them to win the league title; his performances earned him a move to Port Vale in October 1976, where he turned semi-professional. He refused to become a full-time professional, and instead was sold on to Altrincham in July 1977. He maintained an average goal ratio of a goal every two games in his time at Moss Lane, helping the club to two Alliance Premier League titles and triumph in the Cheshire Senior Cup, FA Trophy and Conference League Cup competitions. He had a brief spell back in the Football League with Wigan Athletic in 1982–83, before he saw out his career at Altrincham, Barrow, and Runcorn.

He also won five caps as an England semi-pro international.

Career
Rogers started his career at Burscough before moving to Northern Premier League club Wigan Athletic in the 1971–72 season, where he played in the same side as John King. He was the club's top goalscorer for two consecutive seasons, scoring 24 goals in the 1974–75 season, and another 25 goals in the following season. Wigan were crowned the league's champions in 1974–75, improving on their second-place finish in 1973–74, though they were not promoted. In four and a half years at the club, he made 174 league appearances, scoring 77 goals. He spent a brief spell in America in 1976, playing for the Portland Timbers; he scored twice in fourteen appearances.

He joined Third Division Port Vale as a part-time professional in October 1976 and scored a goal on his debut; a 2–1 home win over Northampton Town on 8 October 1976. Earlier in the day, he went about his regular job rewiring council houses in Liverpool. He became a regular in the first team, playing 26 league games and scoring six goals in the 1976–77 campaign. He was sold on to Northern Premier League side Altrincham for £2,000 in July 1977, as the "Vale" management were unhappy at his refusal to become a full-time footballer.

He joined the "Robins" for the start of the 1977–78 season and made his debut in the 0–0 home draw with former club Wigan Athletic. He scored his first goal for the club in the next game, a 2–2 away draw at Bangor City. In his first season, he reached Wembley, and scored one of the goals in Altrincham's 3–1 defeat of Leatherhead in the Trophy Final. The following season was his most prolific as he notched 35 goals. In the 1979–80 campaign he scored the winning goal at Gravesend & Northfleet that secured the inaugural Alliance Premier League title; he also scored both of Altrincham's goals in the Conference League Cup final defeat against Northwich Victoria. The following season he picked up his second championship medal, and helped the club to League cup success over Kettering Town. The next season his goals against Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Trophy semi-final secured Altrincham's place in the FA Trophy Final at Wembley against Enfield; he also helped the club to lift the Cheshire Senior Cup. The following season (1982–83), the last of his Altrincham career, he started on trial back at Wigan Athletic, who were now in the Football League, and scored twice in six games. On his return to Moss Lane he was unable to find his scoring touch and failed to dislodge Graham Bennett. Overall, he totalled 133 goals in 276 games for Altrincham.

He then moved to Barrow and later had a short spell at Runcorn. His performances there earned him five semi-pro international caps in 1981 and 1982.

Style of play
He was renowned for his heading ability.

Brent Barrett (born February 28, 1957) is an American actor and tenor who is mostly known for his work within American theatre. Barrett has performed in musicals and in concerts with theatres, symphony orchestras, opera houses, and concert halls internationally. He starred in the original production of Maltby and Shire's hit Off-Broadway musical Closer Than Ever in 1989 and the 2001 West End revival of Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate. He has also appeared sporadically on television and in films.

Early life and career
Barrett was born and raised in Quinter, Kansas, the youngest of three children.

He began his education at Fort Hays State University in 1974 as a vocal performance major but ultimately transferred to Carnegie Mellon University in 1976 where he studied musical theatre. While still a student he began his professional career performing with the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera during the 1978 and 1979 seasons, appearing in productions of Half a Sixpence, Camelot, Good News, The Red Mill, Cabaret, and Funny Girl among others.
While in his final year in college, he was cast by Jerome Robbins to play Diesel in the 1980 Broadway revival of Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. He finished his degree that year and went to Broadway to begin his long association with New York theatre. He ultimately took over the role of Tony for the last three months of the show's run.

In 1981, Barrett played Whizzer in the Off-Broadway production of March of the Falsettos, taking over the role when the production moved to the Westside Arts Theater. In 1982 he portrayed the title role in the Off-Broadway production of Des McAnuff's The Death of Von Richthofen as Witnessed From Earth at the Joseph Papp Public Theater and he starred in Howard Marren's Portrait of Jennie at the Henry Street Settlement's New Federal Theater. He returned to Broadway in 1983 as Charles Castleton in the ill-fated Alan Jay Lerner musical Dance a Little Closer. That same year he was cast in the recurring role of Tony Barclay on the soap opera All My Children, appearing in several episodes through 1984.

In 1985 Barrett portrayed the role of Lieutenant Cable in the National Tour of Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific. In 1986 he appeared as Eddie Yeager in the Off-Broadway revival of Arthur Laurents's The Time of the Cuckoo at the York Theatre at St. Peter's. In 1988 he portrayed the role of R. Daneel Olivaw in Robots, a television film adaptation of Isaac Asimov's Robot series. In 1989 he appeared in the original production of Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire's Closer Than Ever at the Cherry Lane Theatre. A critical success, the show ran for 312 performances and a CD recording was made on the RCA Victor label.

Later life and career
Barrett had a small role in the 1990 film Longtime Companion. In May of that same year he joined the original Broadway cast of Grand Hotel, replacing the ailing David Carroll as Baron Felix Von Gaigern. This replacement—only six months into the show's run—resulted in Barrett playing the Baron during the 44th Tony Awards telecast, despite the fact that Carroll was nominated for the part. Delays in recording the Grand Hotel score led to Barrett also being featured on the show's cast album. Barrett went on to reprise the Baron role for the original West End production of Grand Hotel in 1992, as well as portray the Baron during the show's international tour.

In 1993 he toured the United States as Frank Butler in Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun, with Cathy Rigby as Annie. In 1994 he appeared as Victor Duchesi in the original production of the Sherman Brothers's Busker Alley, which through unhappy circumstance never made it to Broadway, although it had been scheduled to do so. In 1996 he played the role of Uris in the Hercules: The Legendary Journeys'''s episode A Star to Guide Them. That same year he appeared as Tommy Albright in the New York City Opera's production of Brigadoon with Rebecca Luker as Fiona, and he played the role of Archibald in Lucy Simon's The Secret Garden in cities throughout New Zealand.

He returned to Broadway in 1997 to portray Maximilian in the revival of Bernstein's Candide. In 1998 he portrayed the role of Billy Flynn in the National Tour of Chicago for which he won a Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award, and the following year he took up the same role in the Broadway revival for several months.Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards Web Site

In 2000 Barrett portrayed the role of Edward Moncrief in the New York City Center Encores! revival of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever with Kristin Chenoweth as Daisy Gamble. He returned to Broadway again in the winter of 2001 to replace Patrick Cassidy as Frank Butler in the revival of Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun, portraying the role opposite Reba McEntire as Annie. The Fall of that same year he was cast in the starring role of Fred Graham for the West End revival of Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate, which also starred Marin Mazzie and later Rachel York as Lilli Vanessi. For his performance he received a Laurence Olivier Awards nomination. The production was recorded live for broadcast on PBS's Great Performances in the United States and is available on DVD.

In 2002 he portrayed the role of Sid Sorokin in the City Center Encores! revival of The Pajama Game and he played the role of Billy Crocker in Anything Goes at UCLA's Freud Playhouse in  Westwood, Los Angeles, California. On New Years Day 2003 he appeared in a concert of music by Kurt Weill with the Berlin Philharmonic under conductor Simon Rattle. That same year he portrayed Arthur in Lerner and Loewe's Camelot at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, New Jersey and he returned to Broadway to portray Billy Flynn in the revival of Chicago, leaving the production in 2004.

In 2005 Barrett appeared as Brian The Set Designer in the film version of The Producers. That same year he returned to Broadway to portray the role of Billy Flynn again in the revival of Chicago and he sang at the New York Festival of Song at Carnegie Hall in a concert honoring Hal Prince. In 2006 he played the title role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera for the new production in at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas which was directed by Hal Prince.

On July 7, 2009, he rejoined the Broadway cast of Chicago, in the role of Billy Flynn, a role he has now played several engagements of on Broadway. He starred alongside Samantha Harris from television's Dancing with the Stars in the role of Roxie.

Barrett rejoined the cast of Chicago from February 7 to March 7, 2011, to be replaced by Christopher Sieber temporarily, to then take over again from March 26 to June 19, 2011. During this return, he starred opposite Christie Brinkley in her Broadway debut.

On June 24, 2011, five days after leaving Chicago, Barrett began starring as famous character Hannibal Lecter, in SILENCE! The Musical, described as an "unauthorized parody" of The Silence of the Lambs. The show has run for longer than its initial limited engagement at 80 St. Marks Place, directed and choreographed by Christopher Gattelli. Barrett can also now be heard on the Original Cast Recording.

Barrett starred as Captain Hook in the American tour of Peter Pan opposite Cathy Rigby with whom he had previously starred in Annie Get Your Gun.

It was announced he would reprise the titular role in the Oberhausen production of The Phantom of the Opera in November 2015, with Elizabeth Welch from the New York production playing Christine. His run was postponed to early 2016 due to an injury he sustained during rehearsals.

In June and July 2016, Barrett played Georges in a production of La Cage aux Folles at the Signature Theatre in Arlington, Virginia.

In June 2018 Barrett joined the cast of Cocktail Cabaret at Caesar's Palace for a limited engagement.

Dave Charles, also known as David Charles is a British drummer, recording engineer & record producer.  He often appears under both names on the same album, e.g. Help Yourself's The Return of Ken Whaley, where Dave Charles is credited with drums and vocals and David Charles as producer.

Career
Charles joined Walthamstow blues-rock band Sam Apple Pie, appearing on their eponymous first album in 1969, and then playing with Help Yourself at the first Glastonbury Festival in 1970. As well as a drummer, he was also interested in electronics, and recorded the Brinsley Schwarz Hype at the Fillmore East

Malcolm Morley left Sam Apple Pie and invited Charles to join his new band Help Yourself, for whom he drummed on all 6 of their albums, and played an early synthesiser. Whilst with Help Yourself Charles also drummed on the eponymous album by Ernie Graham (ex Eire Apparent), and Deke Leonard's album Iceberg. After the breakup of Help Yourself in 1973, Charles recorded Unusual with Roger Ruskin Spear, Fish for Barry Melton and rejoined Tim Rose for Magician.  He drummed for, and recorded albums with, several Welsh bands, including Geraint Watkins, The Neutrons, Deke Leonard and Clive John.

Most of these albums were recorded at Rockfield Studios, where Charles tried using the recording desk, because "someone had to do it, and it all looked fairly simple really."  He knew Rockfield boss Kingsley Ward from Monmouth, as well as the studio, and Kingsley offered to train him as a recording engineer. He became resident engineer at Rockfield between 1975 and 1977, engineering albums for Hawkwind (Warrior on the Edge of Time; Quark, Strangeness and Charm and PXR5), Dr. Feelgood (Down by the Jetty), Dave Edmunds (Get It), Judas Priest and Graham Parker

In the mid-1970s, Charles joined musician and songwriter John David to form a group, Airwaves, as drummer. The group recorded the albums New Day and Next Stop in 1978 and 1979, respectively. In 1978, they also had  a minor hit, "So Hard Livin' Without You" (U.S. #62).

In 1981, he had a long stint with Dave Edmunds including D.E. 7th, Information, Riff Raff and I Hear You Rockin'. He also drummed on albums by Bryn Haworth (Pass It On) and Sheila Walsh (Future Eyes), before joining Latin Quarter and playing with Andy Fairweather-Low and Hugh Masekela.He also engineered Power Supply, by Budgie, their eighth studio album.

By 1985 he was undertaking more engineering, including albums by Jeff Beck (Flash), The Fabulous Thunderbirds (Hot Number), Nick Lowe (Pinker and Prouder than Previous and Party of One) the Stray Cats and Nelson Rangell. Having become known as an engineer, he recorded The La's album The La's, and worked with The Charlatans where his role changed from initially being the engineer, on The Charlatans, to becoming the producer on Tellin' Stories and numerous Charlatans singles.

In the 2000s he has produced albums for Man, Paul Chapman and Dr. Feelgood.

The Rastreador Brasileiro (in English, Brazilian Tracker) is a large breed of dog from Brazil, first recognised by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1967, but an outbreak of disease, compounded by an overdose of insecticide, wiped out the breed's entire breeding stock.  The FCI and the Brazilian Kennel Club (Confederação Brasileira de Cinofilia) then declared the breed extinct in 1973 and delisted it. Since then, efforts have been made to re-create the breed. The Rastreador Brasileiro is a hunting dog of the scenthound type. The breed is also known by the names Urrador (for its hunting cry) or Urrador Americano, in reference to the American (U.S.) coonhounds in its background. In 2013, the Brazilian Kennel Club (CBKC) officially re-recognized the breed. The FCI Breed Standard was produced in 2019.

Appearance
The Rastreador Brasileiro has a short, smooth coat.
The colour options are:
 bluish colour: white background with blue spots/speckles; either with or without tan legs
 black and tan: black ground colour with tan markings
 bicolour: white background with either brown or black spots
 tricolour: white background with black and brown markings/spots

The breed standard from 1970 shows the size as being 62 to 67 cm (24.4 to 26.4 ins) at the withers, and the general appearance as being generally similar to an American coonhound. However, the current official Brazilian breed standard mentions the height of males being 60 to 65 cm and the height of females being 56 to 63 cm.

Re-creation
The Grupo de Apoio ao Resgate do Rastreador Brasileiro in Brazil, a club dedicated to the Brazilian restoration of the breed, lists as an objective the finding of 40 breeding animals of the correct type that can be certified as members of the breed, so as to eventually be once again recognised by the Brazilian Kennel Club.

Restoration of the breed is difficult due to the existence of very few dogs of the correct type and the lack of people interested in recovering the true Brazilian cultural and genetic heritage of the breed.

Navan (nah-váhn), is a vanilla liqueur produced by the House of Grand Marnier.

Navan's name stands for "Natural Vanilla". The vanilla beans are imported from Madagascar.

History
Alexandra Marnier Lapostolle, current president of Marnier-Lapostolle North America and creator of Casa Lapostolle Wines, chose the natural vanilla flavor to create Navan, a new liqueur founded on Grand Marnier's success. Navan launched in 2004 in the US, where it is distributed by Moet Hennessy USA. It is also available in Canada and the Caribbean. In 2008 Navan introduced a revised, less sweet formula, based on feedback from bartenders and chefs.

By 2010, the Lapostolle family ceased making Navan. After repackaging and tweaking the formula, Navan did not sell the way the family had hoped.

Production
When creating Navan, more than 150 eaux-de-vie from 500 distilleries are blended. Natural vanilla from Madagascar is flown to France where it is blended with fine French cognac that has been aged for up to 10 years. Once blended, Navan ages an additional six months.

Leen Ritmeyer (b. 1945) is a Dutch-born archaeological architect who currently lives and works in Wales, after having spent 22 years (1967–89) in Jerusalem.

Career
Ritmeyer holds an M.A. in Conservation Studies from the Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies, University of York, England, and a Ph.D. from the University of Manchester, England.

Beginning in 1973, Ritmeyer served for 4 years as official architect of the archaeological dig at the Western Wall and Southern Wall of the Temple Mount directed by Benjamin Mazar, and 10 years in the Jewish Quarter Excavations of the Old City of Jerusalem, directed by Nahman Avigad.

In Gershom Gorenberg's words, "[w]hen archeologists speak today of solid scientific research on the Temple's location, they’re most likely to refer to Leen Ritmeyer", referring to his work on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. He presented solid arguments based on archaeological evidence collected over at least a century of research for the location of Solomon's Temple, the emplacement of the Ark of the Covenant on the Foundation Stone, and the location of the platform as extended in the First Temple period, probably during the time of Hezekiah described as a square of 500 cubits in Mishnah Middot 2.1. He has demonstrated that one of the steps leading to the Dome of the Rock is actually the top of a remaining stone course of the pre-Herodian Western Wall of the Temple Mount platform.

Ritmeyer is known for his architectural models of the buildings of ancient Jerusalem. His models of the historical Jewish Temples have been exhibited at museums including the Yeshiva University Museum in New York and the Siegfried H. Horn Museum at Andrews University, Michigan.

Works
Ritmeyer has published several books, some together with his wife, Kathleen, including:
 Understanding the Holy Temple Jesus Knew (2017)
 Understanding the Holy Temple of the Old Testament (2016)
 Jerusalem the Temple Mount (2015)

The Siltʼe people are an ethnic group in southern Ethiopia. They inhabit the Siltʼe Zone which is part of the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region. Silt'e people speak Siltʼe language a Semitic language which is closely related to Wolane, Zay and Harari languages.

History
Siltʼe denote their origin in Harar and claim to be progenitors of the Hadiya Sultanate. The country of the Silt'e first appears in fourteenth-century texts as Silt'e-Ge. Tradition states that some of Silt'e's forefathers were Harar resident Kabir Hamid and saint Aw Barkhadle.

Other clans within Silt'e also claim descent from Hajji Aliye who accompanied Ahmed ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi's troops during the Ethiopian-Adal war in the sixteenth century. The Silt'e are considered as once an extension of the ancient Harla people alongside Wolane and Harari people prior to the Oromo invasions of the sixteenth century. In the 1600s their leader Garad of Seba Hadiya Sidi Mohammed defeated the troops of Emperor Susenyos I at the Battle of Hadiya thus protecting their frontier from Abyssinian annexation for the next three hundred years.

The last Garad of the Gan-Silte dynasty was Sediso K’albo before Menelik's forces invaded in the 1800s. Silte people were incorporated into Gurage region after their lands were annexed by Ethiopia, in the early 90s Silte obtained a separate zone following protests that the Gurage ethnic label was imposed on them.

The Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN) is an array of ground-based radio instruments deployed in the Canadian Arctic and operated by the University of New Brunswick. The CHAIN instruments include high data-rate GPS receivers and digital ionosondes. After passing through the Earth's ionosphere, microwave GPS signals carry information about the total electron content (TEC). This information is commonly used to improve the precision of GPS and to study ionospheric morphology. Ionosondes transmit pulses of radio signals in the Medium Frequency (MF) and High Frequency (HF) ranges, whose echos are analyzed to measure height and density of the ionosphere. Advanced digital ionosondes used in the CHAIN network are also able to measure the bulk motion of ionospheric plasma.

Most of the CHAIN instruments are located within the polar cap defined as a region of open magnetic field lines. The polar cap ionosphere is directly linked to the interplanetary magnetic field carried by the solar wind. Polar cap thus provides a vantage point for the study of energy exchange between the solar wind, magnetosphere and ionosphere.

CHAIN is an integral part of the Canadian Geospace Monitoring (CGSM) programme. It provides ground support for Canadian and international scientific space missions such as THEMIS and CASSIOPE. CHAIN ionosonde and GPS data are used for tomographic reconstructions of polar cap plasma anomalies during geomagnetic storms

In January 2012, the Canada Foundation for Innovation announced funding for the Expanded Canadian High-Arctic Ionospheric Network (ECHAIN).
This funding was used to add 15 Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers to the existing network of GPS receivers and radars of the Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Network (CHAIN). The data will contribute significantly to the progress of space research by providing a better understanding of the processes in the Sun-Earth system.

Air and Angels is a novel by English author Susan Hill her first for 16 years. It was first published in 1991 by Sinclair Stevenson and since republished by Vintage Books in 1999 who have also made it available as an ebook. It is said to contain some of her finest writing. The title is taken from a poem by Jon Donne.

Plot introduction
The first half of the book comprises two separate narratives in set in Edwardian India and Cambridge.

In Cambridge the Revd Thomas Cavendish, a celibate and irreproachable university don in his mid-fifties, appears destined to become master of the college.  He lives with his sister and is a confirmed batchelor, spurning the attentions of his sister's friend Florence who is determined to wed him. His enthusiasm is birds; spending his leisure time either on the Fens birdwatching, or in his indoor aviary.

In India, 15-year-old Kitty is becoming bored with ex-colonial life, and at the same time repelled by the poverty she sees nearby; she longs to return to the England she left as a young child.  Eventually her parents relent and after a long sea voyage she arrives at her cousin Florence's house in Cambridge.

The second half of the book concerns Thomas Cavendish's growing obsession with Kitty after he sees her from his window, as she stands on a bridge over the river.  Through his contacts with Florence he becomes her tutor, with disastrous results...

Style and Reception
According to The Guardian, the 'highly stylised Air and Angels differs from her earlier novels in being 'more psychologically focussed, more poetically written', Christopher Wordsworth wrote "Victorian or early Georgian? Mundane precision has no great priority with this author, but with so many emotions at large some firm moorings might have helped. The theme, a constricted soul and the mirage of the Absolute, would defeat most writers. For all its unsparing intensity - perhaps because of it - it fails to convince, a judgemant qualified by too many shining patches."

Laura Cumming from The Observer praises the novel as being 'light as a feather but as powerful as flight', she writes that 'Hill deploys old time conventions to express the astonishment of unconventional love with metaphors cut from the pattern...Her style is a gentle story-book prose, barely troubled by anything as adult as a dialogue, but the adult shock of amour fou is brilliantly evoked out of subtleties...Hill can make emotional eloquence out of a glass of sherry or a pair of sensible shoes, and Air and Angels, with its homage to Donne, is a passionate  celebration.

A by-election for the Australian House of Representatives division of Werriwa was held on 28 January 1994. It was triggered by the resignation of sitting Labor Party member and former minister John Kerin.

The by-election was won by Labor Party candidate Mark Latham, retaining the seat for his party.

The by-election was marked by a swing against the ALP of almost twelve per cent. Much of this swing benefited minor party candidates, in particular the anti-immigration party Australians Against Further Immigration, whose candidate Robyn Spencer polled 7.24 per cent. Single issue parties are rarely able to sustain such high votes at a general election.

Due to its status as a safe ALP seat, the Liberal Party originally decided not to field a candidate in this by-election but it was overruled by leader John Hewson and saw Charlie Lynn becoming the Liberal candidate by being handpicked by Hewson rather than going through the usual rank and file preselection process.

Results

Aftermath

Two years later, Latham was re-elected as the member for Werriwa at the 1996 federal election, despite the Labor Party losing several seats—and as a consequence, losing office—including the neighbouring divisions of Lindsay, Hughes and Macarthur. In December 2003, Latham became Leader of the Opposition and led his party to defeat at the 2004 federal election. Although re-elected as leader in the aftermath of that election, in January 2005 he stepped down as Labor leader and the member for Werriwa citing health concerns, triggering the 2005 Werriwa by-election.

Latham's defeated opponent, Charlie Lynn of the Liberal Party, was selected to the New South Wales Legislative Council in 1995 filling a vacancy caused by the resignation of Ted Pickering.

The Theban Tomb TT319 is located in Deir el-Bahari, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. The tomb belongs to the king's wife Neferu II, wife of the ancient Egyptian king Mentuhotep II (around 2000 BC). Neferu was the daughter of Queen Iah and Intef III.

The tomb of Neferu consisted of a chapel paved with slabs of limestone and carved into the rocks of Thebes. This chapel was decorated with scenes in sunken and raised relief. They show the queen with hairdressers, servants and religious scenes. However, today the scenes are only badly preserved. The stones of the chapel were already in ancient times used as quarry. These fragments are now in many museums around the world.

Behind the chapel there was a corridor leading to the burial chamber, which was also decorated. On the walls are painted friezes of burial goods and long funerary texts. In the burial chamber there also stood the sarcophagus of the queen. The chamber was found disturbed, when excavated.

The tomb is located just to the north of the mortuary temple of Mentuhotep II, and is currently under the temple of Hatshepsut. An entrance was left open in this later construction

Spencer Charrington (24 May 1818 – 11 December 1904) was an English brewer and Conservative politician.

Charrington was the son of Nicholas Charrington and his wife Harriet Milward. His father was a brewer of the firm of Charringtons which was based at the Anchor Brewery in Mile End East London. Charrington became one of the partners in the family firm, and became its chairman on the death of his brother Edward in 1888.  He was also a Vice-President of the Brewers' Society. In 1881 he lived at Great Gearies, Barkingside but was subsequently of Hunsdon, Hertfordshire.

Charrington was elected MP for Mile End in 1885. He owed his election in the Conservative cause to the support of the large number of his brewery workers.  He held the seat for nearly 20 years until his death at the age of 86, by which time he was the oldest member in the House of Commons.

Charrington married Alethe Charlotte Pauline Calmeyer who was from Norway. One of their sons was killed in Egypt and another served in the Boer War. Charrington and his wife are commemorated on a memorial to their son in Holy Trinity Church, Barkingside.

"Never Surrender" is a song by Canadian singer Corey Hart. It was released in June 1985 as the first single from his second studio album, Boy in the Box. The song was number-one for four weeks in Canada and was Hart's highest charting single in the United States, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 (topping the sales only chart for one week) in August 1985.

The song won a Juno Award in 1985 for the "Single of the Year", and was certified Platinum in Canada for sales of over 100,000 copies in 1985.

"Never Surrender" has been featured in the Hulu series Future Man (TV series) Episode 10 "Operation: Natal Attraction" and in the Netflix series Stranger Things, season 3, episode 1 "Suzie, Do You Copy?", The Goldbergs, season 7, episode 13 "Geoff the Pleaser".

In 2019, Hart released an updated version of the song on his EP Dreaming Time Again, performed as a slow piano ballad with a new "angels lead you home" coda. He released the new version as a single in 2020, highlighting its message of hope and resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Composition

On the lyrical content, Hart said, "My mother influenced me with this ethic of never quitting on yourself or your dreams no matter how challenging or daunting. I also greatly admired Sir Winston Churchill, reading many biographies on his life. He used this expression 'Never Surrender' during the dark days of the Nazi attacks on Great Britain as a motivating inspiration for his countrymen."

Critical reception
AllMusic has since called "Never Surrender": "a soaring power ballad of empowerment, giving this album (Boy in the Box) a greater musical and emotional range than his (Hart's) debut." Regarding the song becoming another US hit single Hart said "I really think it's difficult breaking into America regardless of where you're from. I don't think it's any more difficult for a Canadian act than for a band from Oklahoma".

Music video
The music video features a story line of Hart leaving his home after an argument with his father and hitchhiking his way to a major city where he finds himself alone and ends with a 'live' performance with his band.  Portions of the video were filmed on Yonge Street, Spadina Avenue and Queen Street West in downtown Toronto, including the now defunct Crest Grill. The video's director, Rob Quartly, had worked with Hart on three previous music videos and Quartly was again nominated for a Juno Award for his work on this video.

Helogenes marmoratus is a species of whale catfish occurs in Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela.  It is found in the Atlantic drainages of the Guianas, the upper Orinoco and Rio Negro systems, and the upper Amazon River basin.  This species grows to a length of 7.3 cm (2.9 inches).

Ecology
H. marmoratus is nocturnal and feeds mainly on terrestrial insects, particularly ants. It is a typical inhabitant of black or clear waters, usually in forest streams with moderate to swift current flow over firm sand or gravel bottoms .

H. marmoratus lives hidden under plants, litter or plant debris. It has a colour pattern that resembles dead leaves. The fish may even lie on its side among the leaf litter as a form of camouflage. It can easily be mistaken as a piece of dead wood when it rests on its side, motionless on the bottom. It often swims on one side in undulating movements. When disturbed, H. marmoratus will move upwards through the root-tangle, exposing its head or fore body above the water surface. If disturbed further, it will quickly swim in an upright position towards the nearest debris shelter. Also, H. marmoratus is known to jump on the bank during rotenone fishing by Tukano and Tuyuka indigenous people, then jump back to the stream after water renovation.

Hughes Lake is a sag pond on the San Andreas Fault in the northern Sierra Pelona Mountains, in Los Angeles County, California.

Geography
Referred to before 1924 as West Elizabeth Lake, Lake Hughes is one of a series of sag ponds in the foothills of the Sierra Pelona Mountains, including Elizabeth Lake, and Munz Lakes, all created by the active motion of tectonic plates on the San Andreas Fault. They are part of the northern upper Santa Clara River watershed.

The lake, at 973 m (3192 ft) in elevation, is within the Angeles National Forest.

The community of Lake Hughes, an unincorporated community, began settlement in the area around 1873.

Thomas Reid (born circa. 1901; date of death unknown) was a Scottish footballer who played as a forward for Ayr United, Port Vale, Clapton Orient, Northwich Victoria, and New Brighton.

Career
Reid played for North Stevenson United and Ayr United (First Division) – also having trials with Clyde, Albion Rovers and Dundee – before joining Port Vale in August 1922. His debut came in a 3–0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on 2 April 1923. He scored his first goal in the Football League 12 days later, in a 1–0 win over Barnsley at Oakwell. Having played the last six Second Division games of the 1922–23 season, he went on to feature 18 times in the 1923–24 campaign, and found the net against Bury and South Shields. However Reid fell out of the first team picture at The Old Recreation Ground, and played just one game in both the 1924–25 and 1925–26 seasons. He was sold on to league rivals Clapton Orient for £230 in January 1927. He later played for Northwich Victoria (Cheshire County League) and New Brighton.
