Anara Tower was a proposed supertall skyscraper in Dubai. It was slated to be one of Dubai's tallest buildings, and would have been 600 m (1,968 ft) tall with 135 floors. It was designed to look like a massive wind turbine. It was supposed to be a mixed use tower with offices, retail spaces, apartments, and an art gallery. Anara Tower would have incorporated sky gardens every 27 floors and would have contained a luxury restaurant. If built it was expected to be an energy efficient tower by installing renewable sources of energy and incorporating water efficiency strategies.

Earth, Wind & Fire: In Concert is a concert by the band Earth, Wind & Fire that was issued on video.  The concert rose to No. 40 on the Billboard Top Music Video Sales chart.

Overview
Earth, Wind & Fire: In Concert was recorded at the Oakland Coliseum on December 30–31, 1981.

The concert was at first broadcast in August 1982 on HBO and later released in 1984 on VHS by Vestron Video. As well the concert was re-issued on DVD in 2008 by Eagle Rock Entertainment.

Critical reception
Richard Marcus of Blogcritics noted that Earth, Wind & Fire: In Concert was "everything I could have hoped for". Heather Phares of Allmusic
gave the DVD a three out of five star rating and exclaimed that "In Concert should please diehards looking to add another EW&F concert video (along with Live in Japan) to their collection." Jeffrey Kauffman of DVD Talk proclaimed "EW&F cut such a wide swath through so many genres in its heyday that this concert DVD may well appeal to an audience outside of core EW&F fans. Though it's a bit dated, the music is so strong that any occasional silliness in the visual presentation is easily overcome. Recommended."

Lucinico (, ) is a frazione in Gorizia, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

The frazione lies 4.88 kilometres from the town of Gorizia.

In literature
Lucinico is featured in the last chapter of Italo Svevo's novel Zeno's Conscience. In May 1915 the book's protagonist, a businessman from Trieste, comes with his wife and children to spend a vacation at a rented house in Lucinico. The outbreak of war between Italy and Austro-Hungary turns Lucinico into a war zone and the protagonist—setting out on a casual morning stroll without his hat and jacket—finds the front suddenly cutting him off from his family.

Ring culture is a method of cultivating tomato plants. Tomato plants are grown in a bottomless pot, a "ring", and the pot is partially submerged in a tray of water. It is perhaps best described as Two Zone Culture. The gardener aims to have one layer or zone of roots in a container (bottomless pot) and a second layer or zone of roots in some permeable material like gravel, sand or coarse ashes below. Ring culture forces the plants to develop two root systems: one which will absorb the nutrients contained in the soil and another which will absorb the water from the tray. It enables a gardener to grow an excellent group of tomatoes in shallow soil. It is used in greenhouses largely for tomatoes and enables a heavy crop to be grown above, for instance, a gravel path or an ash bed.

Names Hill is a bluff located on the bank of the Green River in the U.S. state of Wyoming, where travelers on the Oregon and California trails carved their names into the rock.  It is one of three notable "recording areas" along the emigrant trails in Wyoming along with Register Cliff and Independence Rock. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 16, 1969.

History
Names Hill was located near a heavily used crossing of the Green River.  The earliest human recordings at the site are Native American pictographs. European American names began appearing as early as 1822 as mountain men crossed the river on their way to the beaver streams of the Western Rocky Mountains.  In 1844, Caleb Greenwood and Isaac Hitchcock lead the first wagon train over what would later be called the Sublette-Greenwood Cutoff along the way crossing the Green River at Names Hill.  The wagon trains would rest at the Green River following a  waterless trek across the prairie, providing an opportunity for travelers to add their names to the hill.

Among the more famous names inscribed on the rock is famed mountain man Jim Bridger. Some have disputed the authenticity of the signature as Bridger was thought to have been illiterate.

David Dean Shulman (born January 13, 1949) is an Israeli Indologist, poet and peace activist, known for his work on the history of religion in South India, Indian poetics, Tamil Islam, Dravidian linguistics, and Carnatic music. Bilingual in Hebrew and English, he has mastered Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindi, and Telugu, and reads Greek, Russian, French, German, Persian, Arabic and Malayalam. He was formerly Professor of Indian Studies and Comparative Religion at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, and professor in the now defunct Department of Indian, Iranian and Armenian Studies. Presently he holds a chair as Renee Lang Professor of Humanistic Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He has been a member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities since 1988.

A published poet in Hebrew, Shulman is also active as a literary critic and cultural anthropologist. He has authored or co-authored more than 20 books on various subjects ranging from temple myths and temple poems to essays that cover the wide spectrum of the cultural history of South India.

Shulman is a peace activist and a founding member of the joint Israeli-Palestininian movement Ta'ayush. In 2007 he published the book "Dark Hope: Working for Peace in Israel and Palestine" which concludes the years of his volunteering activity in the movement. Shulman is a winner of the Israel Prize for 2016. He announced that he would donate his 75,000 shekel prize to Ta'ayush, an Israeli organization that provides support to Palestinian residents in the Hebron area.

Life and work
In 1967, on graduating from Waterloo high school, he won a National Merit Scholarship, and emigrated to Israel, where he enrolled at Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He graduated in 1971 with a B.A. degree in Islamic History, specializing in Arabic. His interest in Indian studies was inspired by a friend, the English economic historian Daniel Sperber, and later by the philologist, and expert in Semitic languages, Chaim Rabin. He served in the Israel Defense Forces, and was called up to serve in the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982: the medic skills he learned during his army service have proved useful in treating Palestinians injured by settler violence.

He gained his doctorate in Tamil and Sanskrit, with a dissertation on 'The Mythology of the Tamil Saiva Talapuranam' (which involved field work in Tamil Nadu) at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (1972–1976) under John Ralston Marr .  He was appointed instructor, then lecturer in the department of Indian Studies and Comparative Religion at Hebrew University, and became a full professor in 1985.  He was a MacArthur Fellow from 1987 to 1992.

In 1988, he was elected member of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. He was later elected to the American Philosophical Society in 2015. He was Director of the Jerusalem Institute of Advanced Studies for six years (1992–1998). He actively supports the Clay Sanskrit Library, for which he is preparing, with Yigal Bronner, a forthcoming volume. He has served as a Humanities jury member for the Infosys Prize from 2019.

Peace activism
Shulman is a founding member of the joint Israeli-Palestinian 'Life-in-Common' or Ta'ayush grass-roots movement for non-violence. He is convinced that unless 'both sides win the war, both sides will lose it.' Shulman's view on the conflict has been described as without illusions, and he expresses an awareness of the moral failings of both sides:

This conflict is not a war of the sons of light with the sons of darkness; both sides are dark, both are given to organized violence and terror, and both resort constantly to self-righteous justification and a litany of victimization, the bread-and-butter of ethnic conflict. My concern is with the darkness on my side.

Though he sees himself as a 'moral witness' to misdeeds of the 'intricate machine', Shulman shies from the limelight, admitting to an aversion to the idea of heroes, and gives interviews only reluctantly.

More recently he has been active as a leader of international campaigns to defend the Palestinians under threat of eviction from such villages as Susya in the South Hebron Hills, and especially from Silwan, where they are at risk of losing their homes as a result of the pressure on the area to have it rezoned for Israeli archaeological digs, in particular those promoted by the Elad association.

Dark Hope
In 2007, he published a book-length account, entitled Dark Hope: Working for Peace in Israel and Palestine, of his years working, and often clashing with police and settlers, to deliver food and medical supplies to Palestinian villages, while building peace in the West Bank. The distinguished Israeli novelist A. B. Yehoshua called it:

One of the most fascinating and moving accounts of Israeli-Palestinian attempts to help, indeed to save, human beings suffering under the burden of occupation and terror. Anyone who is pained and troubled by what is happening in the Holy Land should read this human document, which indeed offers a certain dark hope.

Emily Bazelon, member of the Yale Law Faculty and senior editor at Slate Magazine cited it as one of the best books of 2007. In an extensive review of the book in the New York Review of Books, Israeli philosopher Avishai Margalit cites the following passage to illustrate Shulman's position:

Israel, like any other society, has violent, sociopathic elements. What is unusual about the last four decades in Israel is that many destructive individuals have found a haven, complete with ideological legitimation, within the settlement enterprise. Here, in places like Chavat Maon, Itamar, Tapuach, and Hebron, they have, in effect, unfettered freedom to terrorize the local Palestinian population: to attack, shoot, injure, sometimes kill - all in the name of the alleged sanctity of the land and of the Jews' exclusive right to it.Shulman, dark hope p.2

Shulman's book addresses here what he calls a 'moral conundrum': how Israel, 'once a home to utopian idealists and humanists, should have engendered and given free rein to a murderous, also ultimately suicidal, messianism,' and asks if the 'humane heart of the Jewish tradition' always contains the 'seeds of self-righteous terror' he observed among settlers. He finds within himself an intersection of hope, faith and empathy, and 'the same dark forces that are active among the most predatory of the settlers', and it is this which provides him with 'a reason to act' against what he regards as 'pure, rarefied, unadulterated, unreasoning, uncontainable human evil'. He does not excuse Arabs in the book, but focuses on his own side's culpability, writing: 'I feel responsible for the atrocities committed in my name, by the Israeli half of the story. Let the Palestinians take responsibility for those committed in their name'. Writing of efforts by the IDF and members of hard-core settlements at Susya, Ma'on, Carmel and elsewhere who, having settled on Palestinian land in the hills south of Hebron, endeavour to evict the local people in the many khirbehs of a region  where several thousand pacific Palestinian herders and farmers dwell in rock caves and live a 'unique life' of biblical colour, Shulman comments, according to Margalit, that:-

Nothing but malice drives this campaign to uproot the few thousand cave dwellers with their babies and lambs. They have hurt nobody. They were never a security threat. They led peaceful, if somewhat impoverished lives until the settlers came. Since then, there has been no peace. They are tormented, terrified, incredulous. As am I.

Prizes
In 1987 he received a MacArthur Fellowship or "Genius Grant".
In 2004 he received the Rothschild Prize.
In 2010 he received The EMET Prize for Art, Science and Culture.
In 2016 he received the Israel Prize for his research on the literature and culture of southern India. He donated the prize money ($20,000) to Ta'ayush.

Personal life
Shulman is married to Eileen Shulman (née Eileen Lendman) and has three sons, Eviatar, Mishael, and Edan.

George Glossop Walker (1860–1908) was an English cricketer who played for Derbyshire between 1881 and 1898.

Early life

Walker was born 14 June 1860 at Harthill Grange, Yorkshire, the son of George Walker a farmer. His father maintained a diary, which noted after his fifth birthday, "Mr Hudson sent Georgy a cricket bat and stumps". Walker then went to school, boarding at Whitwell and later was at Broomback House School, Sheffield. He took every opportunity to watch W. G. Grace play against Yorkshire. By 14, he was playing cricket for Whitwell and by 1880 he had a batting average of 27 and a bowling average of just 4. He was also winning prizes as a sprinter.

Walker had a county trial for Derbyshire at Chesterfield when he was 18, but he did not play for the side then. He played for the Gentlemen of Sheffield in 1879, but his first appearance in first-class cricket for Derbyshire was not until 1881. At that time, he was at living with his parents at the Manor House, Whitwell, Derbyshire where his father farmed , and he became a farmer himself. He was made a vice-president of Whitwell Cricket Club in 1881. 'G G' Walker with James Stubbings and Samuel Malthouse performed notably for the club in the 1880s and all three also played for Welbeck.

Derbyshire cricketer
Walker's debut match for Derbyshire in the 1881 season was against Yorkshire when he never had the chance to bowl and scored 2 runs in each innings. He did not play again in that season nor in the 1882 season, and only played in two games in the 1883 season. In the 1884 and 1885 season, when William Cropper lead the bowling, he played more frequently and in 1885 took 7–105 against Nottinghamshire in one match and 5–87 in the other. In 1886 Walker was selected for two Gentlemen of England teams, in one of which against Australia he was in the team with his hero W.G. Grace. For the county he took 6–26 against Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), and 7–38 and 5–75 in the same match against Surrey. In the 1887 season Walker took 5–54 for Derbyshire against Lancashire and 5–49 against Surrey. He continued playing regularly for the Derbyshire club between 1888 and 1893 when it was without first-class status. In 1894 took 7–108 for Gentlemen against Players with W. G. Grace in the side again although he never had the opportunity to bowl against him in any of his first-class games. He also took 5–24 for Derbyshire against Lancashire. In the 1896 season he took 9–85 against Leicestershire although his average was deteriorating. He played four games in the 1897 season and six in the 1898 season by which time his bowling made little impression, while Billy Bestwick was beginning to star.

Walker was a left-arm bowler and took 202 first-class wickets at an average of 25.06 and a best performance of 9–68. He was a left-hand batsman and played 128 innings in 75 first-class matches with a top score of 66 and an average of 10.97.

Later life
Walker was a leading member of the Whitwell community and his home and fields were used for local flower shows and other celebrations. He was an Overseer and a Guardian of the Poor. He died 11 January 1908 in Whitwell at the age of 48.

Adelaide of Hesse () (after 1323 – after May 26, 1371) was queen consort of Poland by marriage to Casimir III of Poland. She was daughter of Henry II, Landgrave of Hesse, and his wife Elisabeth of Thuringia, daughter of Frederick I, Margrave of Meissen. Adelaide was a member of the House of Hesse.

Biography
She was named after her paternal grandmother.

Unhappy marriage
On September 29, 1341, in Poznań, Adelaide married Casimir III the Great, King of Poland. The marriage was a result of an agreement between Casimir III and Luxemburgs.

The marriage was Casimir's second marriage, after the death of his first wife, Aldona of Lithuania. Casimir had no male heir, though he had two daughters, Elizabeth and Kunigunde. On September 29, 1341, Adelaide was crowned in Poznań Cathedral. The marriage was an unhappy one, Casimir started living separately from Adelaide soon after their marriage.

Annulment
Their loveless marriage lasted until 1356. Casimir separated from Adelaide and married his mistress Christina. Christina was the widow of Miklusz Rokiczani, a wealthy merchant. The bigamy and his womanizing got Casimir into severe trouble with the clergy.

Casimir continued living with Christina despite complaints by Pope Innocent VI on behalf of Adelaide. The marriage lasted until 1363/1364 when Casimir again declared himself divorced. They had no children. The marriage to Adelaide was annulled in 1368. Then Casimir married his fourth wife, Jadwiga (Hedwig) of Żagań.
This marriage produced another three daughters.

With Adelaide still alive and Christina possibly as well, the marriage to Jadwiga was also considered bigamous. The legitimacy of the three last daughters was disputed. Casimir managed to have two of his daughters, Anna and Kunigunde, legitimatized by Pope Urban V on December 5, 1369. Jadwiga the younger, was legitimatized by Pope Gregory XI on October 1, 1371.

Later life
After the annulment of her marriage, Adelaide went back home to Hesse. She spent the rest of her life in Hesse.

After her ex-husband's death, she fought for her property rights. She intervened in this case to Pope Gregory XI. On May 26, 1371, the Pope urged King Louis to give back her property.

In popular culture

Film
Queen Adelaide is one of the main characters in the second season of Polish historical TV drama series "Korona Królów" ("The Crown of the Kings"). She is played by Aleksandra Przesław.

James Lyons Mittell (28 February 1906 – 30 March 1976), known as Jackie Mittell, was a Welsh professional footballer who made 247 appearances in the Football League playing for Rochdale, Wigan Borough, Birmingham, Luton Town, Hartlepools United and Barrow. He played as a goalkeeper.

Mittell was born in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, and began his football career in his native country with Merthyr Town and Penrhiwceiber, before crossing the border to England to join Rochdale of the Third Division North in 1926. He played 46 League games for Rochdale before joining Wigan Borough in 1929. Mittell played 40 league games for Wigan Borough before joining Connah's Quay, but was back at Wigan for what turned out to be the club's last season. The season opened with a 4–0 defeat in Chester's first game since their election to the Football League. The final first-team game before the club folded and their results were expunged was a 5–0 defeat at Wrexham on 24 October 1931. Mittell had been ever-present for those 12 games.

He joined First Division club Birmingham as backup to England's first-choice goalkeeper Harry Hibbs. He played only six times in 18 months, and moved on to Luton Town and Derry City before finding a regular place in the starting eleven at Hartlepools United. After 78 games in all competitions for Hartlepools, Mittell joined his last Football League club, Barrow, where he spent one season before moving into non-League football with Tunbridge Wells Rangers.

Mittell died on 30 March 1976 aged 70.

In 1936 he signed for Millwall but failed to settle, playing only twice and leaving at the end of the season.

Acartia clausi is a species of marine copepod belonging to the family Acartiidae. This species was previously thought to have a worldwide distribution but recent research  has restricted its range to coastal regions of the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean as far north as Iceland, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, with specimens from other regions assigned to different species.

At just over 1 mm in length, this is a generally larger animal than its closest congeners. It can also be distinguished by the row of large spines at the rear margin of the body segment known as the metasome.

Ackling Dyke is a section of Roman road in England which runs for  southwest from Old Sarum (Sorviodunum) to the hill fort at Badbury Rings (Vindocladia). Part of the road on Oakley Down has been scheduled as an ancient monument.

Much of the road exists as an exceptionally large embankment (agger), up to  wide and  high. This is much wider than most Roman roads. This would have been visible from a great distance and must have been intended to impress the native population, as it was unnecessary from an engineering viewpoint. It provided a rapid transit route for soldiers across Cranborne Chase.

In addition, in places the road cuts straight through prehistoric earthworks and barrows, showing the Roman attitude to the existing British social structure as well as proving to early antiquaries that barrows preceded the Roman period. At Bokerley Junction it cuts through both Bokerley Dyke and Grim's Ditch before being overlaid by a turnpike, now the A354.  further west at Wyke Down it cuts through the Dorset Cursus. A series of watchtower sites have been identified along the route.

After leaving the Salisbury suburbs, the route crosses open country throughout, and nowhere comes close to any settlement. Apart from a  section of the main Salisbury–Blandford road which follows its course, the road can mostly be followed along minor lanes and tracks.

At Old Sarum the road connected with the Port Way to Silchester (Calleva Atrebatum) and London; and from Badbury Rings roads led to the harbour at Hamworthy (Moriconium) and to Dorchester (Durnovaria).

Part of the road is on the Heritage at Risk Register because of the potential damage from arable ploughing.

William Alvord Wolff Jr. (November 18, 1917 –September 6, 2014) was an American college football player.

Wolff was born in 1917 in San Francisco. He sold newspapers there as a boy. He was an all-city football player at Mission High School in San Francisco.

Wolff attended Santa Clara University on a full scholarship. He played college football for the school at the tackle position. He helped lead the 1936 Santa Clara Broncos football team to an 8–1 record, the No. 6 ranking in the final AP Poll, and a victory over LSU in the 1937 Sugar Bowl. He was a consensus pick for the 1938 All-America team. In announcing the NEA All-American team in 1939, sports editor Harry Grayson described Wolff as "fast for all his 220 pounds" and "a vicious tackler" who was strong on both offense and defense. The Associated Press wrote: "He was such a bulwark that opposing teams soon found it was futile to direct plays into his neighborhood. He was a ball hawk at intercepting passes and grabbing fumbles."

Wolff was selected in the third round with the 16th pick overall of the 1939 NFL Draft by the Chicago Cardinals. However, he opted not to play professional football and later recalled: "I played football in college to get an education, not to get my brains scrambled!"

After graduating from Santa Clara, Wolff worked for U.S. Steel and later for Food Machinery Corporation of San Jose. He was married for 49 years to his first wife, Marcella Jensen Wolff. She predeceased him, and he later remarried to Connie Duckworth Wolff. Wolfff died in 2014 in Santa Barbara, California.

Colonel Augustine Warner Jr. (June 3, 1642 – June 19, 1681) was an American planter, military officer and politician. He served in the House of Burgesses from 1666 to 1677 and was its Speaker in two separate sessions in 1676 and 1677, before and after Bacon's Rebellion. Warner then served on the Virginia Governor's Council from October 1677 until his death. Warner is the last common ancestor of George Washington and King Charles III.

Early life

Augustine Warner Jr. was born on June 3, 1642. He was the only son of Augustine Warner Sr., who in 1628 had settled in the  Virginia Colony and by 1642 had established a plantation called "Austin's Desire" in Gloucester County, building Warner Hall on the property. The elder Warner served on the Council from 1659 until shortly before his death in 1674.

The younger Warner went to London in 1658 and attended the Merchant Taylors' School. He returned to Virginia after finishing his education and married Mildred Reade, daughter of George Reade, Secretary of the Virginia Colony.

Planter and burgess

Warner settled on a farm in Gloucester County, living there until he inherited Warner Hall in 1674. He soon assumed his father's position as Colonel of the Gloucester county militia. Meanwhile, Warner began his political career as a burgess representing Gloucester County in 1672, during what had been called the "Long Assembly" in which elections were only held to replace deceased members, probably in this instance Warner's neighbor, planter and lawyer Peter Jenings.

Bacon's Rebellion
In March 1676 the General Assembly called by Governor Sir William Berkeley in 1661 held its last session. Warner was elected Speaker, replacing Robert Wynne, who died the previous year. On May 10, as the Nathaniel Bacon crisis was building, Berkeley dissolved the House of Burgesses and called new elections. It is not known if Warner served in the new House that met in June.

Fighting began in late July. Warner remained loyal to Berkeley, joining his forces. Bacon's forces captured Jamestown and burned it on September 19, then crossed the York River and seized Warner Hall. Bacon died in October, but the rebellion continued until early January 1677.

Warner served on a court-martial headed by Berkeley on January 11, 1677, at which rebels were executed. Berkeley called for elections, and Warner was not only elected to represent Gloucester County, but fellow burgesses elected Speaker of the new House when it convened in February. The Assembly met until early April. It revoked all acts of the June 1676 Assembly, and then reenacted some.

Later years
In late September – early October 1677, after Berkeley had been recalled and sailed for England, Warner was appointed to the Governor's Council. Although he remained aligned with the "Green Spring faction" of Berkeley loyalists after Berkeley's removal as governor, he was not removed from the Council, unlike such diehards as Philip Ludwell and Thomas Ballard.

Warner sued William Byrd I, a sometime ally of Bacon, for the damage the rebels had done to Warner Hall. Byrd claimed in his defense that he was Bacon's captive, not his supporter, and was not responsible.

Personal life
About 1665 he married Mildred Reade.

Death, legacy and descendants

Warner died June 19, 1681, and was interred at Warner Hall.

Although looted in Bacon's Rebellion discussed above, Warner Hall survives today and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1980. Abingdon Church, the second building built on land Warner donated for spiritual purposes, also remains in use today. However, with periods of disuse and disrepair, and has been listed on the National Register since 1970. Warner also has many descendants and is the common ancestor of George Washington and Queen Elizabeth II. His daughter Mildred was the grandmother of Washington, while his daughter Mary was an ancestor of the Queen's mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. Warner was also the great-great-grandfather of explorer Meriwether Lewis.

John William Morfitt (28 September 1908 – 1973) was an English professional footballer who scored 21 goals in 77 appearances in the Football League playing for Birmingham, Blackpool, Bradford and Southend United. He played as a centre forward.

Morfitt was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire. He played local football in the Sheffield area and for Mansfield Town in the Midland League before he joined First Division club Birmingham in March 1928. His game was based on pace rather than strength, and he played only once for Birmingham's first team, on 21 March 1931 in a 2–1 home defeat to Middlesbrough. Later that year he joined fellow First Division club Blackpool, where again he played only once (in a 1–1 draw, against the club he had just left, at Bloomfield Road on 12 September), and in March 1932 he dropped down a division to sign for Bradford. Five goals in nine games for Bradford preceded another move, this time to Southend United of the Third Division South. Here Morfitt finally got regular first-team football. In four years he scored 23 goals in 81 appearances in all competitions before injury forced his retirement from the game in 1936.

Morfitt died in 1973, aged 64 or 65.

In sports, a head fake is a type of feint in which someone moves the head to fake an intended change in direction and thereby deceive opponents.

The term originated in sports, but it has become applied metaphorically in other senses. In financial markets, a head fake refers to a time when the market appears to be moving in one direction, but ends up moving in the opposite direction. For example, the price of a stock may initially move up, and all indications are that it will continue to move up, but shortly afterward, it reverses direction and starts moving down.

In his "Last Lecture" entitled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" (at Carnegie Mellon on September 18, 2007), Randy Pausch refers extensively to "head fakes." He describes as a "head fake," for example, the phenomenon of parents encouraging their children to play football. Parents tell their children to play sports not because they really want them to become football stars, he says, but to help them develop collaboration and socializing skills. His concluding remarks during the last three or four minutes, present the final head fake of the lecture.

Scott's Grotto in Ware, Hertfordshire, is a Grade I listed building and with six chambers the most extensive shell grotto in the United Kingdom. "It is, although on a small scale, far more complex than Alexander Pope's at Twickenham. Compared with the grotto at Stourhead, on the other hand, it is minute, but that only enhances the enchantment." The surrounding gardens and structures are Grade II* listed.

The grotto is set into the northeast face of a hill, and comprises an entrance hall and a series of six chambers extending over  into and  below the chalk hillside, together with air shafts, light wells and connecting passages.  The chambers are decorated with shells, stones such as flint and fossils, and coloured glass.  A plan drawn in 1900 calls the six chambers the "Council Chamber" (a circular chamber  in diameter to the right of the entrance, with a domed roof light), and smaller chambers to the left of the entrance are named the "Committee Room No 2" (a square chamber with niches) and the "Refreshments Room"; on the centreline, connected by an air shaft, are the "Consulting Room", the "Committee Room", and the "Robing Room".

The grotto was formerly in the garden of Amwell House.  Its construction may have taken several years and was completed by John Scott, an 18th-century Quaker poet who inherited Amwell House from his father in 1768.  Scott also had other romantic features built in his garden, including an octagonal gazebo on the hillside above.  Scott kept a book which lists 3,000 visitors from 1779 to 1787. Samuel Johnson visited in 1773, describing it as a "fairy hall".

The house and garden were inherited by Scott's daughter Marie.  The nearby Scotts Road was built after she died in 1863 and the land was acquired by British Land for development.  The grotto was opened to visiting tourists in the 19th century, and become a listed building in 1950.  Modern houses were built on Scotts Road in the 1960s and 1970s; originally the builders intended to demolish the grotto to build houses, but the local council intervened and the grotto was left in a patch of open ground.

The grotto was acquired by East Hertfordshire District Council in 1974, and was restored in 1990–91 by the Ware Society. The works included a reconstruction of the entrance hall that had been demolished in 1960: a small fragment of the demolished Berlin Wall was inserted in the entrance hall as a time marker. The architect for the restoration was James Howley and the project manager David Perman, Hon. Secretary of the Ware Society.

The grotto and gardens are now owned and managed by the Scott's Grotto Trust, Charity Number 1180709.

John Morgan (18 August 1889 – 1983) was a Scottish professional footballer who made nearly 250 appearances in the Football League playing for Birmingham, Doncaster Rovers, Bristol City, Barrow, Walsall and Southport. He played as a half back.

Morgan was born in Penicuik, Midlothian. He began his football career with Edinburgh Emmett and then came to England to sign for Birmingham of the First Division in August 1924. He played only once for Birmingham, deputising for the injured Jimmy Cringan and his regular understudy Bill Hunter at centre half in a 4–0 defeat at Sunderland on 6 September 1924. After a brief spell in non-league football with Redditch Town he settled at Doncaster Rovers, where he played 150 Third Division North games in four seasons. After one Second Division game in one-and-a-half seasons for Bristol City, a return to the Third with Barrow offered more playing time. Short spells with Walsall and Southport and a venture to Ireland with Brideville preceded a return to non-league football in the English Midlands with Worcester City and Atherstone Town.

Morgan died in 1983 aged 93 or 94.

Carlos Narciso Quintana Hernandez (born August 26, 1965) is a former Major League Baseball player who played for the Boston Red Sox from 1988 to 1993.

Professional career
Quintana was signed by the Red Sox in 1984 as an undrafted free agent.  Over the next four years he worked his way up the Red Sox minor league system playing for Elmira, Greensboro, New Britain and Pawtucket.

He made his first appearance for the Red Sox on September 16, 1988.  He split the 1989 season between Pawtucket and Boston, and was named the full-time first baseman during spring training in 1990, beating out Bill Buckner for the job.  Over the next two seasons Quintana earned a reputation as an outstanding defensive first baseman and an intelligent batter who maintained a high on-base percentage, albeit without much power or speed.

In February 1992, Quintana was involved in an automobile accident in the town of Tacarigua de Mamporal, Venezuela while rushing his two brothers to a hospital after they were shot at a party. In the accident, Quintana broke his left arm and his right big toe and his wife Solys broke both of her legs.  The injuries caused Quintana to miss the entire 1992 season.

Quintana returned to the Red Sox for the 1993 season but was still feeling the effects of the accident, including loss of feeling in his left thumb.  He lost the starting first base position to Mo Vaughn and at the end of the season he announced his retirement from MLB baseball. However, he spent more than a season in the Venezuelan League, and played the  season for the Buffalo Bisons, then a Triple-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1998 he played in Italy for Bbc Grosseto and hit four HR in a game against BC Modena.

Quintana was a .276 hitter (380-for-1376) with 19 home runs and 165 runs batted in, including 163 runs, 59 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases, as well as a .350 on-base percentage and 498 total bases for a .362 slugging average.

Highlights
 In 2014, he gained induction into the Caribbean Baseball Hall of Fame as part of its 18th Class.
 Drove in six runs in the third inning of a game against the Texas Rangers on July 30, 1991, tying the major league record for most RBI in an inning.
 Played in a game in Pawtucket and a game in Boston on the same day in 1989.

Frederick Earl Sontag (October 2, 1924 – June 14, 2009) was a professor of philosophy and author. He taught at Pomona College in Claremont, California from 1952 to 2009, retiring shortly before his death.

Biography
Sontag served in the U.S. Army during the Second World War, becoming a sergeant. He graduated from Stanford University in 1949 with a  B.A. (with great distinction), then attended Yale University where he earned an M.A. in 1951 and a Ph.D. in 1952.

Sontag was the Robert C. Denison Professor of Philosophy at Pomona College, where he worked from 1952 to 2009. He had also been chairman of the department (1960–67 and 1976–77) and chairman of the Committee on Honors Study (1961–70). He also served as a visiting professor at a number of institutions (Union Theological Seminary, 1959–60, Collegio di Sant'Anselmo, Rome, 1966–67, University of Copenhagen, 1972, University of Kyoto, 1974, and East-West Center, Honolulu, 1974). He was the theologian-in-residence at American Church in Paris in 1973 and Fulbright Regional American Professor, East Asian and Pacific Area from 1977 to 1978.

His research interests were Existentialism, Metaphysics, Philosophy of Religion, and Philosophical Theology. Sontag was a minister in the United Church of Christ.  He was considered an expert on the Unification Church. In the 1970s he interviewed church founder Sun Myung Moon and church members in Europe, America, and Asia while researching for a book published in 1977.

In 2000, Sontag offered to let a troubled student spend the night at his home. But as he drove the student to his dormitory to pick up some clothes, the student became agitated, drew a knife and stabbed Sontag twice.  Sontag testified in the student's defense at his trial in which he was found not guilty by reason of insanity. He said about the incident: "My genes lack something, I don't seem to hold grudges...I believe in restoring relationships."

In a 2004 interview with Pomona College Magazine, singer, actor, songwriter, and former Pomona College student Kris Kristofferson mentioned Sontag as an important influence in his life.

Upon his retirement from Pomona College in May 2009, Sontag was awarded the Pomona College Trustees’ Medal of Merit, as "an extraordinarily magnanimous member of this community." He died of congestive heart failure on June 14, 2009. A research fellowship fund, a gate, a theater, and a residence hall are named in his honor.

Giorgio Clelio Stracquadanio (22 March 1959 – 31 January 2014) was an Italian politician and journalist.

Biography
Born in Milan, Stracquadanio began his political career in the 1980s as an activist for the Radical Party in Milan with the municipal councillor Tiziana Maiolo.

In 1996 he ran unsuccessfully as an MP for Silvio Berlusconi's Polo delle Libertà.

In 2006 he was elected to the Italian Senate with Forza Italia. While still taking part in Forza Italia's activities, he joined the parliamentary group "Democrazia Cristiana per le Autonomie" to allow them to reach the minimum required quorum for group constitution. As a legislator he rejected a proposal for the diminishing of members of parliament's salaries and benefits.

In 2006 he was elected to be a member of the General Council of the Transnational Radical Party.

In the 2008 general elections, he was not elected but received the seat of Cristiana Muscardini who opted instead to serve in the European Parliament. He then sat with the People of Freedom in the Italian Chamber of Deputies.

Stracquadanio also worked as a journalist with the right-wing newspaper Libero, for which he edited some political pamphlets.

In 2009-2010, Stracquadanio was criticized for many controversial statements, including:
 the delegitimisation of dissent in Berlusconi's party, the opposition to the explicit choice of MPs by electors, the support to ad personam laws favouring Silvio Berlusconi
 insults towards a left-wing journalist during a press conference
 request to libel Gianfranco Fini to force his dismissal, as with Dino Boffo

Great Windmill Street is a thoroughfare running north–south in Soho, London, crossed by Shaftesbury Avenue.
The street has had a long association with music and entertainment, most notably the Windmill Theatre, and is now home to the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum and the Trocadero shopping centre.

Early history
The street took its name from a windmill on the site which was recorded 1585 and demolished during the 1690s. In a parliamentary survey of 1658 the mill was described as "well fitted with Staves and other materials".

The area was developed around 1665 but the building was speculative and of poor quality; this led to a royal proclamation in 1671 that prohibited unlicensed development in "Windmill Fields, Dog Fields and Soho". Later that year, Thomas Panton, one of the original speculators, was granted a licence to continue his scheme with the condition that it was supervised and directed by Sir Christopher Wren who was the Surveyor General of the King's Works. By 1682, maps show that both sides of the street were developed along their whole length.

Medical school

In 1767 the Scottish anatomist and physician William Hunter FRS built a large house at number 16 after demolishing an earlier large dwelling. Hunter's house incorporated a large library, a museum and an anatomical theatre. He gave lectures and anatomical demonstrations from the new house, the first taking place on 1 October 1776. After his death, in 1783 he bequeathed the school and his house to his nephew, Dr Matthew Baillie, who taught there from 1783 to 1803. The Windmill Street School of Anatomy was incorporated into King’s College London in 1829 and Charles Bell was its first professor of physiology. The house was used for medical demonstrations until 1831. It now forms part of the dressing rooms and stage of the Lyric Theatre.

Red Lion public house
The Red Lion public house was built on the corner with Archer Street in around 1793. In November 1847, the Communist League held its second congress in a room above the bar and it was here that Karl Marx and Frederick Engels submitted their proposals for writing the Communist Manifesto.
The Red Lion closed in around 2005 and in 2013 was the 'Be at One' Cocktail Bar and Lounge.

Entertainment

The street has had a long association with music and entertainment, most notably the Windmill Theatre where during the 1930s and 1940s Laura Henderson and Vivian Van Damm presented nude tableaux vivants. The theatre is now a table dancing club. In the 1940s, the first regular paid modern jazz club for London musicians, Club Eleven, was run from a basement in Great Windmill Street featuring musicians such as Ronnie Scott, Hank Shaw, Johnny Rogers, Lennie Bush, Tony Crombie and Laurie Morgan. In the 1960s, the Scene Club in Ham Yard at Number 41 was associated with the mod youth culture and bands that appeared there included the Rolling Stones and The Who.

The street was also home to the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum and the Trocadero shopping centre.
