Kristopher W. Jordan (February 10, 1977 – February 25, 2023) was an American politician in the Republican Party. He was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives from 2019 until his death (after a previous term from 2009 to 2010), and the Ohio Senate from 2011 to 2019, where he was chairman of the Senate State and Local Government and Veterans Affairs Committee.

Career
After graduation from the Ohio State University, Jordan served two terms as a Delaware County commissioner and worked for Rep. Joan Lawrence and as a legislative aide to Rep. Jon Peterson. Jordan was a member of the Delaware County Farm Bureau, Hiram Masonic Lodge, the Delaware County Township Association and the County Commissioner Association of Ohio.

With incumbent Jon Peterson unable to run again because of term limits in 2008, Jordan, a former aide of Peterson, sought to replace him. Among four candidates, Jordan secured the Republican nomination with 53.31% of the vote. He won the general election against Democrat Janice Lanier with 61.29% of the vote. After his victory, colleagues named Jordan House assistant minority whip. Speaker of the House Armond Budish also named Jordan as a member of the Controlling Board.

Ohio Senate
In late 2009, Jordan announced that he would seek the Ohio Senate seat held by Bill Harris in 2010. The election race put Jordan against former Representative Thom Collier and Knox County GOP Party Chairman Lou Petros. Jordan won the GOP nomination with 53.9% of the vote. He won the general election with 69.08% of the vote against Democrat Neil Patel.

Jordan was sworn into his first term on January 3, 2011. Subsequently, Senate President Tom Niehaus appointed him to the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review, and the standing committees on Government Oversight and Reform, including Health, Human Services and Aging, Highways and Transportation, Insurance, Commerce and Labor, Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources, and State and Local Government and Veteran's Affairs (as Chairman).

Policies, positions and initiatives

Abortion
In 2016, Jordan introduced the Ohio "Heartbeat Bill", a bill outlawing abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. The Ohio General Assembly passed the bill on December 6, 2016.

In 2019, Jordan co-sponsored legislation that would ban abortion in Ohio. Doctors who performed abortions in cases of ectopic pregnancy and other life-threatening conditions would be exempt from prosecution only if they "[took] all possible steps to preserve the life of the unborn child, while preserving the life of the woman. Such steps include, if applicable, attempting to reimplant an ectopic pregnancy into the woman's uterus". Reimplantation of an ectopic pregnancy is not a recognized or medically feasible procedure.

Fiscal issues
In one of his earliest initiatives, Jordan introduced legislation that would eliminate the Ohio estate tax. He has stated that it is an effort to help keep more small business owners and the jobs they create in Ohio. However, local governments see the bill as another potential blow to their already strained budgets.

Jordan was a proponent of fracking in state parks due to the potential benefits it could bring to solving Ohio's budgetary problems. He sees the usage of natural resources as an answer to help with fiscal recovery. He was adamant about stating that there are no real environmental concerns surrounding fracking.

Personal life and death
Jordan and his wife, Melissa, had three children. In July 2011, Jordan was investigated for fourth degree domestic violence after an altercation with his wife in which she called 911 for help. Jordan told the Delaware County sheriff's deputies who responded to the call that his wife "got a little upset … girls do that." He and his wife later divorced.

Jordan died on February 25, 2023, at the age of 46 following a diabetic reaction. Jordan was a type 1 diabetic since the age of 18.

Steenkampsberg () is a South African mountain in the Dullstroom - Belfast district of Mpumalanga Province. The mountain ranges between 1,700 and 2,274 metres in altitude, and is covered largely by high-altitude grassland, broken in places by rocky outcrops. The northern slope of the mountain is drained by the Groot-Dwarsrivier, which enters a deep linear valley, to eventually join the Steelpoort River. The mountain is traversed from west to east by the De Berg Pass.

Ecology

The mountain plateau retains extensive tracts of unspoilt habitat, supporting a large diversity of mammals, birds and plant life. The common tree fern Cyathea dregei occurs along watercourses and streams, while overgrazed mountain slopes and eroded ravines are often dominated by Leucosidea sericea shrubs.

The area is home to more than 150 bird species, a fair number being endemic to South Africa. The wetlands of the region shelter all of the three endangered South African species of crane - blue, crowned, and wattled. Two of the wetlands, Lakenvlei, 8 km north-east of Belfast, and Verloren Valei, 9 km north of Dullstroom, are of particular importance for the survival of these species.

Waterbirds, such as heron, rail, crake, Egyptian goose, spur-winged goose, kingfisher, coot, sacred ibis and whiskered tern, make up a large proportion of the birdlife. Open grassland species include lark, pipit, cisticola, finch, bustard, bald ibis and francolin. Raptors in the area include steppe and jackal buzzard, snake eagle, long-crested eagle, fish eagle and secretary bird.

Mammals include a few antelope species such as the oribi, grey duiker, mountain reedbuck, grey rhebuck and steenbok. Also occurring are serval, civet, Southern African wildcat and caracal. Black-backed jackal, brown hyena, aardwolf, porcupine, bushpig and aardvark are nocturnal and rarely seen. Both otter species, the Cape clawless otter, and the smaller spotted-necked otter are to be found throughout the plateau. Their diet includes the introduced rainbow trout and accordingly they are regularly poisoned, trapped or hunted by trout fly-fishing resorts and trout hatcheries who feel their livelihood threatened.

Rainbow trout have had a seriously detrimental impact on native fish species in the headwaters of streams draining the Steenkampsberg.

Land management
The area is covered by some 150 privately owned farms.

Ashgabat Theme Park (Ertekiler Dünýäsi) is a theme park designed by Turkmen architects as a Turkmen version of Disneyland. It opened in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, in 2006.

The $50 million recreation complex, based on Turkmen folk art and fairy tales, occupies  and consists of 80 attractions. It begins with a map of Turkmenistan and its environs that displays miniature copies of architectural monuments of the predominantly Muslim state. The Ferris Wheel follows designs of Turkmen jewelry, the Magic Carpet copies acclaimed Turkmen rugs, and a roller coaster zigzags over a mini-replica of the Caspian Sea, the source of the country's immense oil and gas reserves. Visitors are greeted by characters of Turkmen folklore, some of which resemble Western magic creatures. Khudoiberdy repels an attack of evil spirits, and obese Bovendjik swallows everyone he sees.

Trīdeksnis (also known as trīdēkslis, trīdēksnis, strīdēkslis etc.) is a Latvian percussion instrument. It consists of a short wooden handle running through three increasing width tiers of flat horizontal discs, with small triangular metal rattles hanging off the edges of the disks. The trīdeksnis is used by shaking it like a rattle or hitting the handle against the palm, causing metal discs to jingle.

In NBC series Community, the trīdeksnis is played during a Latvian independence day parade inside a blanket fort in the episode "Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design".

Competition history
Keflavík have played in the Icelandic football league since 1956.  The team has also taken part in every year of the Icelandic FA Cup as well as several minor competitions, including the League Cup.  Keflavík has played in all the major European competitions, the European Cup, the UEFA Cup, the Cup Winners' Cup and the Intertoto Cup.

Keflavík first played league football when the team joined the newly formed second division in 1956.  Keflavík was promoted in 1957 and played in the top flight from 1958 to 1960.  The team returned to the second division in 1961 but were promoted again the following year.  After narrowly avoiding relegation in 1963 Keflavík won its first title in 1964.  The team also won the title in 1969, 1971 and 1973.  Since then the team has mostly played in Iceland's top division, Úrvalsdeild, with four spells in the second tier (1981, 1990–92, 2003 and 2016–17.)

Cup history
The Icelandic FA Cup was established in 1960 and Keflavík entered from the beginning.  The team's first cup game ended in a 0–6 defeat by ÍA.  Keflavík reached the semi-final of the competition the next three years and had reached seven semis before playing for the first time in the final in 1973.  That game ended in a 1–2 defeat by Fram.  In 1975 Keflavík won the cup for the first time, beating ÍA by a single goal.  The team reached the final again in 1982, 1985, 1988 and 1993 but lost each time.  The duck was broken in 1997 when ÍBV were beaten in a penalty-shootout in a replay.  Keflavík won the FA Cup again in 2004 and 2006, first by beating KA 3–0 and then KR 2–0.

European history
Keflavík played its first European game in 1965 after becoming champions the previous year.  The team were drawn against Hungarian side Ferencváros in the European Cup.  The Hungarians won 9–1 and 4–1 for a 13–2 aggregate win.  In the early 1970s Keflavík were the envy of other Icelandic teams when they were drawn against several top sides, including Everton in 1970, Tottenham Hotspur in 1971 and Real Madrid in 1972.  Keflavík's first win in European competition came against Swedish side Kalmar FF in the 1979–80 UEFA Cup.  Keflavík won the home match 1–0 and progressed to the second round for the first time, winning on away goals.  Keflavík played in the UEFA Europa League in 2009–10 after finishing 2nd in the Icelandic Premier League in 2008 and lost to Maltese club Valletta with the aggregate favoring the Maltese 5–2.

UEFA club competition record

European competition

Team colours
The Keflavík football team originally played in black shirts and white shorts. In 1973, the team changed its strip to yellow shirts and blue shorts. One reason given for the change was the memory of the team's first European away match, against Ferencváros in Budapest. The Keflavík players were playing in floodlights for the first time and had trouble spotting each other in their black shirts.

In 2014 through 2016 Keflavik played in black and white home jerseys and an all-white away jersey in honor of their 100th anniversary.

The BSA B21 was a British motorcycle made by Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) at their factory in Small Heath, Birmingham.  Production started in 1937 and ended with the outbreak of World War II in 1939.

Development
After World War I, BSA started designing new models and began exporting motorcycles to the colonial countries. During the depression of the 1930s, the BSA range was reduced and in 1937 Val Page designed the B21 250cc and the M23 Empire Star in both 350cc and 500cc engines. When World War II  started, the Military BSA M20 with a side valve engine of 500cc took over and the B21 was discontinued.

James Conway was an Irish sportsperson.  He played hurling with his local club Redmonds and was a member of the Cork senior inter-county team for one season in 1892.

Playing career

Club

Conway played his club hurling with the famous Redmonds club and enjoyed some success.  He won a county senior championship title in 1892.

Inter-county

Conway first came to prominence on the inter-county scene with Cork as part of the Redmond's selection in 1892.  That year he lined out in his first provincial decider with All-Ireland champions Kerry providing the opposition.  An exciting game developed, however, at full-time Cork were the champions by 5-3 to 2-5. It was Conway's first, and only, Munster title.  Cork's next game was an All-Ireland final meeting with Dublin.  The game was a controversial one as referee Dan Fraher changed his mind after initially awarding a goal to Cork.  He eventually decided that the GAA's Central Council should decide the matter. Dublin, however, had walked off the field and, because of this, Cork were awarded the title.  It gave Conway an All-Ireland title.  He never lined out with Cork again.

 On October 18, 1948, Jinan Special Municipal Second Middle School (the predecessor of Shandong Provincial Experimental High School) officially opened for classes. The school is located at Xiaowei 4th Road, Jingliu Road.
 In November 1948, the former East China University (the predecessor of Shandong University) moved to Jinan, and the school became the High School Affiliated to East China University.
 In November 1949, the former School of Education of East China University was designated as Shandong Normal University, and the affiliated middle school was handed over to the leaders of Jinan City, and was renamed Shandong Provincial Experimental High School.
 1950-1956, "New China learns from the Soviet Union and takes the Soviet road". Since the school is the first experimental middle school in the country that uses new teaching materials and new methods, it is officially named "Shandong Experimental High School".
 In 1960, the school exchanged with the original No. 3 Middle School and moved to the current location, and later the No. 3 Middle School moved to Tai'an.
 From 1966 to 1976, due to the influence of Cultural Revolution, the Experimental Highschool was repudiated as "cultivating the seedlings of the bourgeoisie", so it was renamed "Jinan No. 22 High School".
 In 1976, the name of the school was restored as Shandong Experimental High School.
 In 2013, the West School (Jinan Xicheng Experimental High School) was established.
 In 2018, Jinan University Town Experimental Senior High School was incorporated into the Education Group.
 In 2019, Jinan Experimental Foreign Language School was incorporated into the Education Group and began to recruit students.
 In 2022, strict regulations targeting students in the school were implemented by the new presidents, Kuiming Fang, Chenglin Han, Haojun Yang, Tianyou Xu and Xiangyu Bao.

Born in Brampton, Ontario, Thomas attended Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School where he averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists per game as a senior in 1995–96. He went on to play for Michigan State where he was a reserve on the Spartans' 2000 championship team. In four seasons, he averaged 3.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 114 career games, including 46 starts.

Professional career
After going undrafted in the 2001 NBA draft, Thomas signed with the Canberra Cannons for the 2001–02 NBL season. In May 2002, he re-signed with the Cannons on a two-year deal.

Daniel Richter (born 1939 in Darien, Connecticut) is an American mime and actor who played the leader of a tribe of ape-men in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

At the time of his casting in 2001, Richter was unknown, working mainly as a mime, leading a troupe in London. Kubrick made him largely responsible for choreographing the "Dawn of Man" sequence, believing Richter could take the film away from Hollywood clichés of men in monkey suits. Richter and his troupe spent hours watching apes in the London zoo, particularly the especially popular Guy the Gorilla, followed by hours of rehearsal mimicking their movements. After 2001, Richter appeared in the film The Revolutionary. In 2002, Richter published a book about his experiences entitled Moonwatcher's Memoir: A Diary of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Richter went on to work and live with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, appearing in their 1972 Imagine video at Tittenhurst Park. His memoir of this time, "The Dream Is Over", was released in 2012. In a 2019 article at the Salon website, Richter told of how in 1969 he supplied heroin to Yoko and John Lennon while the Beatles were working in the studio.

He has climbed over 500 peaks in North America, participating in and sometimes serving as an instructor in the Sierra Club.

Richter is son of New Yorker cartoonist Mischa Richter.

The Woman's Relief Corps (WRC) is a charitable organization in the United States, originally founded as the official women's auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) in 1883. The organization was designed to assist the GAR and provide post-war relief to Union veterans. The GAR had been created as a "fraternal" organization and refused to allow women to join up until the creation of this auxiliary. It is largely dedicated to historical preservation of research and official documentation related to the WRC and GAR.

Background
The WRC expresses that among other tenets, a primary purpose is to perpetuate the memory of the Grand Army of the Republic, a veterans' advocacy organization for Union Army soldiers during the American Civil War. The WRC is the GAR's only legally recognized auxiliary and was organized at the specific request of the GAR. A formal Charter was drawn on July 25 and 26, 1883 in Denver, Colorado. It was subsequently incorporated by Public Act of the 87th Congress on September 7, 1962. The first elected National President of the organization was E. Florence Barker.

Creation
As a result of women's roles in the war effort, they became equipped with the leadership and organizational skills that positioned them well for philanthropic organizations. They mobilized to provide aid to veterans and their families following the war. The creation of these local charities paved the basis for the origin of the WRC. From 1879, the primary criterion for eligibility to become a member of the WRC was loyalty to the Union cause, and membership was not necessarily restricted to residents of Union States.

The first chapter of the WRC began in Portland, Maine 10 years prior to the more notable one in Massachusetts. In 1879, a group of Massachusetts women from different associations started a "secret" organization that sought to more effectively unify the various local and state relief programs that had been loyal to the North during the American Civil War. In 1890, a chapter of the WRC was introduced in New Hampshire and it, along with the Massachusetts post, formed the Union Board of New England.

Black Chapters
While most organizations prevented African Americans from joining, the WRC had numerous all black chapters in many urban cities across the country and various southern states also had detached black corps. Although the south kept their chapters segregated, the majority of the corps in the north were desegregated.

One notable African-American WRC member was Susie Taylor, who helped organize Corps 67 in Boston, Massachusetts in 1886, and over the next twelve years served as its secretary, treasurer, and president.  Two other black women, Anna Hughes and Marilla Bradbury also held officer positions in the Martin Delaney Corps.

Julia Mason Layton, a black WRC member, fought for the 1893 National Convention decision that allocated funds to African American southern members so that they could be trained to more efficiently organize and finance black veterans. She also helped to create the first all-black chapter in the Department of Potomac.

In Massachusetts, African American woman R. Adelaide Washington was elected as the president of the St. John Chambre Corps. Her election was incredibly impressive considering, at the time, this chapter was dominated by white members.

Rules
Being the official auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, the WRC could not just operate as it wished or do whatever it pleased. The founding members of the WRC had to write rules and regulations that the GAR would approve of and also ran along similar lines of what the GAR was doing. The Rules and Regulations for the Government of the Woman's Relief Corps stipulated three main objectives. The third of these objectives was to "maintain true allegiance to the United States of America" and teach patriotism and "love of country."

State/Territory departments and post
The numbers of state and territory departments and posts changed regularly from year to year. In 1892, the WRC was made up of 45 departments, provisional departments, and detached corps of various territories and states. There was a combined total of 2,797 corps (chapters) across the country. In 1892, the WRC also had 98,209 members. Arizona, Florida, Georgia (U.S. state), Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, New Mexico, New York (state), North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C. all also had WRC posts, detached and attached, by 1916.

As desegregation of the state departments continued, members at the national level, such as president Abbie Addams, wanted to halt black corps from being created. She proposed this idea on the basis that black women were not educated enough nor interested in joining such an organization. She also wanted to investigate black chapters and dissolve them if they did not have proper permits or licenses to hold group meetings.

Interdependence of the GAR and WRC
The WRC began as an auxiliary to the GAR, but as the GAR began to decline, the WRC was able to help promote the longevity of the republic. Because the GAR required members to be veterans of the Union, their numbers began to dwindle as generations passed. In New Jersey, the Ladies Loyal League was an auxiliary that was created by women who had evidence that they were related to Union veterans. This group never reached the same level of importance nor power of the WRC whose members were abundant and reputable. In the 20th century, the WRC gained a political foothold as it lobbied for feminist policies and pensions for Union nurses, as well as patriotic education.

Memorial Day
Early on in the creation of the WRC, Memorial Day was used to teach patriotism and nationalism to children of all ages across the North (there was an effort in the South, but there was a great deal of resistance). The members of the Woman's Relief Corps with the assistance of children would make floral wreaths and place them alongside American Flags at the graves of Union veterans and nurses who died during and since the Civil War.

The members of the GAR and WRC viewed Memorial Day as a holy day, but by 1915, the organizations were combating the view that Memorial Day was now a holiday and the memory of the Civil War began to dwindle.

Quotes
"For the women are much better at seeking out soldiers who are really in need of assistance than we are…A woman’s eyes are much quicker to perceive distress than a man’s."  – Van Deer Voort, The National Tribune, December 21, 1882

“I cannot forget that our white soldiers, flying for their lives, were often glad to sleep in the beds, and share the coarse food of the loyal colored people.  And I never knew or heard during all those terrible years of strife and blood, of a colored man, woman or child proving a traitor to the Union cause, or to the men who upheld it.......It seems to me that the question in the Woman’s Relief Corps should not be: whether a woman’s face is white or black, but whether her heart is white and loyal, and her life pure and generous.”  Annie Wittenmyer Journal of the Eighth Annual Convention of the Woman’s Relief Corps, Auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, Boston, Massachusetts, August 13-14, 1890, 25-26.

"Although fifty-one corps were organized in Kentucky, they did not flourish as well as they might have, and in the course of time some disbanded, due to the fact that so many colored members met at the Department Convention with the white members. Although in entire sympathy with the Lincoln Proclamation, white women of the Southland do not associate so closely with the colored race, and thus the downward pathway was started." – Martha Francis Boyd, historian

Alexis Stephen Francis Marshall (born March 22, 1980) is an American singer. He is the lead vocalist of the noise rock band Daughters and was formerly the frontman of the mathcore/grindcore band As the Sun Sets.

Marshall formed Daughters in 2002 following the disbandment of As the Sun Sets. Daughters disbanded in 2009 and reunited in 2013. Marshall released his debut solo album House of Lull. House of When on Sargent House in 2021.

Life and career
Alexis "Lex" Marshall was born on March 22, 1980, in Massachusetts. He moved regularly before settling in Providence, Rhode Island, for college alongside other eccentric/experimental rock and metal music acts from the same city such as Lightning Bolt and The Body. In Providence, Marshall became adapted to and inspired by the local hardcore scene at an early age.

Daughters
Rhode Island mathcore/grindcore act As the Sun Sets were formed in 1998 with Marshall as the founding vocalist. After the band split up, Marshall formed Daughters with Brent Fantini, guitarist Nick Sadler and Samuel Walker in 2001. The band released their first EP in 2002. Their debut album, Canada Songs, was released in 2003, followed by Hell Songs in 2006.

In August 2009, several months after the band finished work on their self-titled album, Daughters, the band had what Marshall later described in an early 2010 interview as a "big falling out". Bassist Samuel Walker and guitarist Nick Sadler departed, resulting in Marshall and drummer Jon Syverson being the only members remaining in the band.

The band's hiatus meant that they did not tour to promote the album. Tensions between Sadler and Marshall contributed to the dissolution of the band, with Marshall feeling unhappy about the direction that Sadler wanted Daughters to take musically. In an interview Marshall explained, "Nick wrote a lot of the stuff on there, and he was really looking to make it accessible, and see how it fared... There are definitely parts of the record that were written to see how people will respond, which is kind of disappointing."

Marshall also cited his commitment to sobriety as playing a role; in an interview with Consequence, he said: "I assumed I wouldn't be able to mix music … 'cause, you know, there's so much fuckin' alcohol, drugs, and crazy people throwing shit at you."

After Andy Low organized a meeting between Marshall and bandmate Nick Sadler, Daughters reformed, performing their first post-hiatus gig in 2013. The band released "Satan in the Wait", their first new song in eight years, in July 2018. In November, they released a new album, You Won't Get What You Want, through Ipecac Recordings.

In 2012, Marshall formed Fucking Invincible with a current member of Dropdead and Soul Control. In the same year, he collaborated with the Assembly of Light choir in their self titled EP.

Solo work
In 2017, Marshall published his first poetry book, A Sea Above the Pains of Our Youth. He released another poetry collection in 2020 titled Moving Windows.

Marshall released his first solo single, "Nature in Three Movements", in 2020. The single was a standalone track and was not included on Marshall's solo album. In June 2021, Marshall released "Hounds in the Abyss", the debut single from his first solo album, House of Lull. House of When The album was released on July 23, 2021. It was produced by Seth Manchester. Collaborators on the album included Marshall's Daughters bandmate Jon Syverson. Pitchfork awarded the album a score of 7.2/10. Kerrang! gave the album a mixed review, writing that, "It's lacking the punchy impact you'd expect from Daughters, and there's nothing in the way of catchy hooks to reel listeners in."

Artistry
In As the Sun Sets and early Daughters releases, his vocals were a mixture of high pitched screaming and death growls, but he has since abandoned both, as he uses a clean vocal style since Hell Songs. His clean vocals have been compared to those of Nick Cave and David Yow. Marshall is the chief vocalist and lyricist of Daughters. He has described himself as taking a narrative approach to song-writing. Daughters have been noted for their "confrontational live shows, where Marshall may endure "people spitting in my mouth, punching me, grabbing me, trying to pull my shirt off or whatever". He has cited Alice Cooper's early performances as an influence on his approach to live performances.

Personal life
Marshall was originally from Providence, Rhode Island, but currently lives in Pennsylvania. He has two children. Marshall has spoken about his struggles with alcoholism.

During Daughters' early days the band's live shows were infamous for Marshall's intense stage presence and behavior. Marshall, while routinely heavily intoxicated, would remove his clothing, drink his own urine, rub his penis on the microphone and bleed himself. At a festival performance in Japan, Marshall vomited on the front row of the audience. In 2006, Marshall fled the stage in the middle of a concert at Los Angeles' Knitting Factory because the police arrived to arrest him for public indecency. He has admitted to "flossing" his buttocks with a microphone cable, inserting microphones into his anus and in Belgium, nearly starting a fight because he masturbated onto an object. Botch bassist Brian Cook recalled: "Women pulled at his briefs. Fans fondled and licked his exposed cock. A confessed 'sex addict', Lex would swap spit with both men and women mid-set and fuck fans in venue bathrooms." Marshall said this behavior was caused by both alcohol and his own boredom.

Marshall was in a relationship with musician Kristin Hayter from July 2019 to June 2021. In December 2021, Hayter accused Marshall of domestic abuse and rape throughout their relationship. Marshall denied the allegations, releasing a statement that said "Kristin is a person that I loved and cared deeply for, however, our relationship was unhealthy for both of us. I can assure anyone reading this that I absolutely did not abuse her, mentally or physically. I am investigating legal options." Sargent House, the record label which released Marshall's solo album in July 2021, soon revealed that it had privately terminated Marshall in August 2021 when Hayter first alerted the label of Marshall's alleged abuse, but waited to publicize their decision for Hayter's privacy.

Andros Darryl Townsend (born 16 July 1991) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for  club Luton Town.

A graduate of the Tottenham Hotspur academy, Townsend was initially loaned out to several League One and then Championship clubs alongside limited Tottenham appearances, before making his Premier League debut in September 2012. After further limited appearances and then a half-season loan to Premier League club Queens Park Rangers, Townsend established himself as a Tottenham player between 2013 and 2015. He subsequently fell out of favour at Tottenham, and following a short spell at Newcastle United in the 2015–16 season, he transferred to Crystal Palace in the summer of 2016. After five years at Palace, he departed for Everton in 2021, though his time at the club was hampered by a long-term injury sustained in 2022. Upon his release from Everton in 2023, he joined Luton Town.

In his senior international career, Townsend earned his first England cap on 11 October 2013, and made 13 appearances, scoring three goals.

Club career

Tottenham Hotspur

Early career
Townsend joined the Tottenham Hotspur academy at the age of eight. In March 2009, he went on loan to Yeovil Town, making his football league debut against Milton Keynes Dons alongside fellow Spurs academy player Jonathan Obika. He made ten appearances and scored one goal for Yeovil as they avoided relegation.

Initial loans
Townsend entered the senior Tottenham team under manager Harry Redknapp. In August 2009, he went on a month's loan to League One club Leyton Orient, extended at the end of the month to the end of December, after which he returned to Tottenham. In 26 appearances for Orient, Townsend scored twice, including a "great goal" in a 3–3 draw against Yeovil, passing three opposing players with a run that began in his own half, leading the opposition manager to lament that his players had not been more ruthless and taken him down with a professional foul.

Having not yet made his Tottenham debut, on 14 January 2010, Townsend was again taken on loan by a League One club, Milton Keynes Dons, until the end of the season, although he was recalled after just two months due to injuries. In nine matches for the Dons he had scored twice. The season ended without Townsend having made his debut for Tottenham.

On 12 August 2010, Townsend signed another season-long loan, moving up to the Championship level with Ipswich Town, but this was terminated on 20 December, as Redknapp believed he had not been playing regularly enough. He had played 16 times, scoring once.

Tottenham debut and further loans

On 9 January 2011, Townsend made his senior Tottenham debut in a third round FA Cup tie at White Hart Lane against Charlton Athletic; he scored the first goal and was voted Man of the Match. This proved to be his only appearance for Tottenham for the rest of the season, with two further loan spells occurring. He joined Championship club Watford on 20 January 2011 on loan until the end of the season, but this was terminated early, on 23 February, with Townsend having made three appearances. On 7 March, Townsend again went on loan to a Championship club until the end of the season, this time Millwall. By April he said he would be happy to stay at the club beyond his loan spell. In 11 appearances he scored twice.

European football and further loans
For the first half of Tottenham's 2011–12 season, Townsend was a regular in their Europa League campaign, making six appearances in the competition. He scored his second goal for the club in their final match in the competition, against Shamrock Rovers on 15 December 2011, with a curled shot from outside the box. On 23 December, he signed a contract extension, making him a Tottenham player until the end of the 2016 season.

With only one other appearance for Tottenham, in the League Cup, on 1 January 2012, Townsend joined Championship club Leeds United on loan until the end of the season, but with his agent claiming he was unhappy at the club, he switched the loan to their Championship rivals Birmingham City in February. For Leeds, he made seven appearances, including what he described as "a dream debut", and scored once. For Birmingham, he made fifteen league appearances and one in the second leg of their unsuccessful promotion play-off semi-final against Blackpool.

Premier League debut
Townsend remained with Tottenham for the first half of their 2012–13 season, with the club now under a new manager, André Villas-Boas, who replaced Redknapp in the summer. He made his Premier League debut with a late substitution appearance on 16 September. Although appearing a further four times in the Premier League, these were all still late substitute appearances. Outside the league he made a further five appearances, once in the League Cup and FA Cup respectively, and three times in the Europa League. He scored his third Tottenham goal with a "superb low left-foot shot into the bottom corner from just outside the area" in a 3–0 victory against Carlisle United in the League Cup third round.

Loan to Queens Park Rangers
On 31 January 2013, Townsend followed Redknapp to Premier League club Queens Park Rangers on loan until the end of the season. He made twelve appearances for the club, including a Man of the Match performance on his debut, scoring two goals in March, a dipping volley from outside the penalty area in a 3–1 win at home to Sunderland, and an equalising deflection in a 3–2 away loss to Aston Villa. QPR were ultimately relegated, and Townsend returned to his parent club.

Established in the first team
Now back at Tottenham, Townsend started the second Premier League match of their 2013–14 season, and went on to make a total of 33 appearances, including 25 in the league. He scored twice, in a 5–0 away victory over Dinamo Tbilisi in the Europa League (his first match of the season), and his first in the Premier League in a 2–0 victory away to Aston Villa on 20 October 2013. In the middle of the season, Townsend came under the management of his third Tottenham boss, after Villas-Boas was replaced by Tim Sherwood.

Sherwood's contract was terminated at the end of the season, and Townsend started the 2014–15 season under new manager Mauricio Pochettino. He made a total of 35 appearances, scoring five goals, but was reduced to just 17 appearances in the league, having been unable to hold down a starting place until the second half of the season. He started as Tottenham lost 2–0 to Chelsea in the 2015 League Cup Final at Wembley Stadium on 1 March.

Having had nine loan spells, Townsend's career path to regular first team football for Tottenham is often discussed in the context of a wider debate in English football about the best way to develop young talent, contrasting the loan route with Premier League players being developed in Under-21 leagues, or being brought to the Premier League level via transfers from lower league clubs. According to his father, the loan spells were the making of his son's career, while Tottenham's former Director of Football Damien Comolli, who was dismissed in October 2008, believes Townsend succeeded in spite of the way Tottenham handled him.

Out of favour
On 4 November 2015, having not started a league match of the 2015–16 season, Townsend was dropped from the squad following a touchline argument with the club's fitness coach. He apologised, and Pochettino allowed him to return to the squad by 17 November, stating that the matter was over and he was available for selection again. He was an unused substitute three times following the incident, the last of which was on 10 December, but made no more first-team appearances for Tottenham.

Newcastle United

On 26 January 2016, having still not started a league match, Tottenham agreed a transfer fee with Newcastle United for Townsend, reportedly £12 million. Before the fee had been announced, Townsend had already tweeted a goodbye message, and stated "As soon as I knew of Newcastle's interest they were the only club I wanted to join...Two of the best positions you can play in football are centre-forward and left wing at Newcastle. I've got the chance. I could never turn that down. I can't wait to play my first game at St James' Park". The transfer was confirmed the following day, a five-and-a-half-year contract but with the club declining to disclose the fee. On signing, his new manager, Newcastle head coach Steve McClaren, said of Townsend that he is a "winger with an old-fashioned style. He can play on the right or the left, is two-footed, quick, very direct and loves taking on defenders and crossing the ball." According to Sky Sports, the transfer had been under negotiation for a week and Newcastle had initially wanted Townsend on loan, and then had a transfer offer of £10.5m rejected.

Despite his debut for Newcastle being in a disappointing team performance in an away defeat, at the next match, his home debut, he was given a standing ovation after a Man of the Match performance which saw Newcastle climb out of the relegation places. His first goal for the club came in his third match, a shot from just outside the area, but it was just a 90th minute consolation goal in a 5–1 away defeat to Chelsea.

Crystal Palace

On 1 July 2016, Townsend joined Premier League club Crystal Palace on a five-year contract from Newcastle following their relegation to the Championship. Palace triggered his £13 million release clause just six months after he joined from Tottenham. He was originally assigned the number 17 shirt for his first season with Palace. However, after Yannick Bolasie left for Everton, Townsend was reassigned the vacant number 10 shirt previously worn by Bolasie. On 13 August 2016, Townsend made his debut in a 1–0 defeat against West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League. He scored his first goal for the club in a 4–1 victory over Stoke City in the league on 18 September.

On 22 December 2018, Townsend scored a 30-yard volley in a 3–2 win against Manchester City in the league. His strike was later voted as Premier League Goal of the Month for December and Premier League Goal of the Season, as well as making the shortlist for the 2019 FIFA Puskás Award.

Everton
Townsend signed for Everton on 20 July 2021 on a two-year contract upon the expiry of his contract with Crystal Palace.

Townsend made his debut on 14 August 2021, assisting Richarlison's goal as Everton came from behind to beat Southampton 3–1 on the opening day of the season. On 24 August 2021, Townsend scored the winning goal in an EFL Cup round two fixture against Huddersfield Town. On 13 September 2021, Townsend scored his first Premier League goal for Everton, smashing in a long range effort from 30 yards to put Everton ahead as they went on to beat Burnley 3–1; this goal won him the Premier League Goal of the Month award.

On 20 March 2022, Townsend was forced off the pitch in the 16th minute of an eventual 4–0 loss against former club Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, and was later revealed to have suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury. As a result, he went on to miss the remainder of the 2021–22 season as well as the entirety of the 2022–23 season, after which he departed from Everton, having not played in over 18 months.

Luton Town
Having left Everton in June 2023, Townsend spent preseason on trial at newly promoted Burnley as a free agent ahead of the 2023–24 season. It was reported that contractual agreements had initially been made with Burnley, but these were later withdrawn prior to the start of the season, leaving Townsend without a club. He later described the collapsed move as "the toughest conversation I've had in my career" and that he was "in tears" when he was informed.

Following the failed move to Burnley, Townsend began trials with his local team Luton Town, also newly promoted to the Premier League. On 11 October 2023, he was officially signed by the club on a short-term contract until January 2024.

International career

Youth levels
Townsend represented England at under-16, under-17 and under-19 level. He played three times for the under-16s between 2006 and 2007, making his debut in a 1–1 draw away with Wales on 20 October 2006 and his last appearance in a 2–0 away loss to Germany in April 2007. He scored twice on his under-17 debut, in a 6–1 win over Northern Ireland in August 2007, and went on to make six appearances, the last in a 0–0 draw with Portugal on 5 February 2008. Townsend's first two appearances at under-19 level came in the group stage of the 2009 European Championship; he was an unused substitute in the final, which England lost to Ukraine. He played four times in 2010, once as a starter in a friendly, and three times as a substitute in qualifiers for the 2010 competition.

Townsend received his first call up to the England under-21 team in October 2012 for the Euro 2013 play-off matches against Serbia. He made his debut in the first leg as a 65th-minute substitute for Liverpool's Raheem Sterling. He also played in two U21 friendlies, in 2012 and 2013.

In May 2013, Townsend was charged by The Football Association over alleged breaches of its rules on betting. He subsequently voluntarily withdrew from England's squad for the upcoming European Under-21 Championship finals. He later admitted to charges under the FA's rules for breaching football betting regulations. After a personal hearing, he was fined £18,000 and suspended for four months backdated to 23 May, with three months suspended until 1 July 2016.

Senior team
Townsend's first call-up to the senior England squad came in September 2013, for the World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Ukraine. He made his senior debut against Montenegro in a World Cup qualifier on 11 October, during which he scored the third goal of a 4–1 win with a "low swerving finish" from outside the penalty area after 78 minutes, two minutes before being substituted, and was named man of the match. He earned a second cap four days later against Poland, playing almost all of the 2–0 home win. A second England goal came in the Euro 2016 qualification campaign in a 5–0 win over San Marino on 9 October 2014, as he came on for the final third of the match. His next appearance marked his third England goal; on 31 March 2015 he scored the equaliser in the 79th minute against Italy, having come on seven minutes earlier in a friendly match which ended 1–1. The 20-yard strike was described as a "sweet right-foot drive into the bottom corner"; Townsend took to Twitter immediately after the match to respond to Paul Merson after he had said Townsend's club form did not justify him being in the England team.

Personal life
Townsend was born in Leytonstone, Greater London. He is the son of Troy Townsend, Head of Development for Kick It Out. He is of paternal Jamaican and maternal Greek Cypriot descent. He was brought up in Chingford, and is a lifelong Tottenham fan. He attended Rush Croft Sports College. When Townsend was 10, his half-brother Kurtis died in a car accident, aged 18. One of his cousins is Colin Kazim-Richards, also a professional footballer.

Townsend was filmed singing the song "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King with the rest of the Tottenham youth players in the dressing room, which became a popular internet video.

Townsend said in a December 2019 interview that he had been a problem gambler, compulsively betting online on football. He lost £46,000 on a single bet in 2012 on the night before a play-off game for Birmingham. After being caught for breaking the FA's anti-betting rules, he went to counselling.

Bukovyna Airlines, also known as Bukovyna Aviation Enterprise, was a Ukrainian charter airline based in Chernivtsi, which operated chartered passenger flights out of Chernivtsi International Airport.

History
The company was founded in 1999.

In 2013, Bukovyna was one of two Ukrainian airlines that had sanctions imposed against them by the Government of the United States. Bukovyna Airlines was hit with sanctions because it was leasing its US-built McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series aircraft to Iranian airlines Mahan Air and Iran Air. The Iranian airlines were themselves under sanction by the US government.

In February 2021, the Ukrainian authorities revoked the airline's operational license, shutting all operations down.

Fleet

Current fleet
The Bukovyna Airlines fleet consisted of the following aircraft as of September 2020:

Early life
Born in Hauppauge, New York, to Moses R. Smith and Mary H. (Wood) Smith, Smith went to schools in Smithtown, New York. He attended Cornell University, where he was a brother of Delta Upsilon and earned a law degree in 1877.

Law career
Smith was admitted to the New York bar in 1877, and began practicing law in Patchogue, New York in 1879. He married Lizzie L. Mott on November 24, 1881. He was the district attorney of Suffolk County in 1884 until he became a county judge in 1891. He was later elevated to the New York Supreme Court, representing the 2nd district.

Resting place
He and his wife are buried in the Cedar Grove Cemetery in Patchogue, New York. In 1970 his crypt was broken into by a group of teenagers. Lizzie Smith's skeleton was discovered floating in the Patchogue River. Both he and his wife were re-interred in a new Crypt in Cedar Grove. The Wilmont M. Smith Elementary School aka. Bay Avenue built in 1908 in Patchogue, New York was named for him.

Jim Young was an Irish sportsperson. He played hurling with his local club St Finbarr's and was a member at senior level of the Cork county team from 1893 until 1894.

Playing career

Club
Young played his club hurling with the St Finbarr's club and had much success throughout the first decade of club activity in Cork. He won a county senior championship title with 'the Barr's' in 1899.

Inter-county
Young first came to prominence on the inter-county scene with Cork as part of the Blackrock selection in 1893. He missed Cork's Munster final triumph; however, he was included on the team for the subsequent All-Ireland final meeting with Kilkenny. Cork won the game on probably the most unsuitable playing field in hurling history. After someone had neglected to get the grass cut at Ashtown, both teams moved to the Phoenix Park where the game took place. A 6–8 to 0–2 victory gave Young an All-Ireland title.

For a second consecutive year in 1894 Young was selected for championship duty with Cork. An easy 3–4 to 1–2 defeat of Tipperary in the provincial decider gave him a Munster winners' title. For the second time in three years Dublin provided the opposition in the subsequent All-Ireland final. The game turned into an absolute rout as Cork won easily bu 5–20 to 2–0.  With that Young captured a second consecutive All-Ireland winners' medal.  It was his last game with the Cork hurling team.

The ship was laid down on 5 May 1977 by the Marinette Marine Corp. of Marinette, Wisconsin.  Narragansett was launched on 12 May 1979, and delivered to the Navy on 9 November 1979.

Her hull was built of welded steel plates.  She is  long at the waterline and  overall, with a beam of , and a draft of .  She displaces 2,260 tons fully loaded.

As originally built, Narragansett had two controllable-pitch Kort-nozzle propellers for propulsion.  She had two 20-cylinder Diesel engines, GM EMD 20-645F7B, which provided 4,500 shaft horsepower.  These would drive the ships at 15 knots.  She also had a 300-horsepower bow thruster to improve maneuverability.

Electrical power aboard the ship was provided by three 400 Kw generators.  These were powered by three Detroit Diesel 8v-71 engines.

Powhatan-class tugs had global range in order to support the U.S. fleet across oceans.  Narragansett's tankage was consequently large.  She can carry  of Diesel oil,  of lube oil, and  of drinking water.  Her unrefueled range at 13 knots was

Narragansett's aft deck is largely open to accommodate a number of different roles.  It offers  of working space.  One of the missions of a fleet tug was to tow damaged warships back to port.  She is equipped with a SMATCO 66 DTS-200 towing winch for service as a towboat.  The towing system can accommodate either wire rope or synthetic-fiber hawsers and produce as much as 90 short tons of bollard pull.  She has a 10-ton capacity crane for moving loads on the aft deck.  There were connections to bolt down shipping containers and other equipment.

Like all MSC ships, Narragansett was crewed by civilian mariners.  At launch, her complement was  16 civilian crew and a 4-person military detachment of communications specialists.  The ships could accommodate an additional 16 people aboard for transient, mission-specific roles.

All the ships of the Powhatan-class were named after Native American tribes.  Narragansett was named after the Narragansett people, which had their historical center in the Rhode Island area.

Military Sealift Command service (19791999)

Narragansett was dispatched from Pusan, South Korea to assist in the search for the black box flight recorders of the downed Korean Air Lines Flight 007 in the Fall of 1983.  Special electronic equipment was embarked to listen for the beacon signals produced by the flight recorders, as well as a deep-diving remotely controlled submersible.  The tug was harassed by Soviet ships while executing her search patterns and was ultimately unsuccessful in recovering the flight recorders.

In April 1984 the ship assisted in refloating USS Barbour County which was beached at the Silver Strand Amphibious Boat Area in Coronado, California.

Narragansett towed the Ocean Construction Platform Seacon from Panama to San Diego in July 1984.

Narragansett rescued a family of six who had been drifting helplessly in a small sailboat for 32 days near Hawaii in October 1988.In 1990 she assisted in the investigation of another aircraft incident.  Nine people were killed when the cargo door of United Airlines Flight 811 blew off shortly after the plane took off from Hawaii.  The door fell into the sea and a search was initiated to find this important piece of evidence.  Narragansett laid out a grid of eight transponders on the sea bed which were used to chart the movements of a Navy submersible hunting for the door.  Narragansett also searched the area with an Orion side-scan sonar system which was embarked for this mission.

The ship accompanied USNS Navajo as she towed ex-New Jersey from Long Beach to the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility in Bremerton, Washington in April 1991.
In 1992, Narragansett towed ex-Midway from San Diego, and ex-Missouri from Long Beach to Bremerton, Washington.

The ship was placed out of service on 18 October 1999, and assigned to the inactive reserve. She was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 5 June 2002, and technically became the property of the U.S. Maritime Administration.  Narragansett was loaned by her new owner back to the Navy on  2 August 2002.

Naval Air Weapons Command service (20022015)
The Naval Air Weapons Command leased Narragansett to CSC Corporation, which in turn, subleased the vessel to Donjon Marine Company, Incorporated.  Donjon Marine was also the lessee of a sister ship, Powhatan.  The company was responsible for crewing, maintenance, and operations of the ship.  Narragansett was used to tow ex-Tripoli to various points in the Pacific where she launched missiles as part of the development and testing programs for the THAAD ballistic missile defense program, the Navy's sea-based terminal missile defense program, and the Israeli Arrow missile program.  During this period, Narragansett and ex-Tripoli were based at Pearl Harbor, Mare Island, and finally Pier 80, San Francisco.

In March of 2015, Narragansett towed ex-Tripoli through the Panama Canal to be stored with the Beaumont Reserve Fleet.

Carrier Strike Group 4 service (2016present)

By 2016, Narragansett had been assigned to the training support vessel squadron of Carrier Strike Group 4 and is now based at JEB Little Creek.  Her role is to provide realistic training scenarios for Navy and Marine units about to deploy.

Narragansett was reclassified from a fleet ocean tug (ATF) to a boat in 2009.  While she retained her name, her hull number was changed from T-ATF-167 to 226NS7901.  Boats do not typically display their hull numbers on their bows.  Narragansett displays "TSV-4" on her bow today, a locally-assigned pennant number.

Civilian mariners have continued to crew the ship, and private contractors have continued to operate and maintain her.  PAE Applied Technologies, LLC was the first, while two other contractors ran the other ships in the training support vessel squadron.  On 9 March 2018 Great Eastern Group, Inc. was awarded a contract to crew, maintain, and operate all the ships of the training support vessel squadron.  On 12 April 2021 Great Eastern Group was awarded a new five-year contract for all the ships in the squadron, including Narragansett.

Narragansett underwent $7.6 million of maintenance in a Norfolk, Virginia shipyard in 2017.  In June 2022, Lyon Shipyard in Norfolk, Virginia won a $13.5 million contract for maintenance.  The work was expected to be complete by April 2023.

Honors and awards
Narragansett and her crew earned a number of honors and awards during her service.  These include:

Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal in 1994 for her service in Operation Restore Hope in Somalia

Navy Expeditionary Medal in 1980, and 1981 for service in the Iran/Indian Ocean area

Navy "E" Ribbon in 1983, 1984, and 1987

Meritorious Unit Commendation in 1983, for her service searching for the wreckage of Korean Airlines Flight 007.
