YHA Ltd, trading as YHA Australia, is a not-for-profit of members trading corporation providing hostel and other accommodation, travel and associated service in Australia. It is a member organisation of Hostelling International.

YHA Ltd became a management and director controlled corporation with managers and directors now controlling the selection of successive directors and directors being able to appoint a least one-third of their number without election Directors may profit from payments but ordinary members are not entitled to a share of profits or assets. Profits are not necessarily spent or re-invested in the network of hostels or the provision of accommodation and services to members.

The founder of the youth hostel movement, Richard Schirrmann, took youths away from the conditions of factories and cities to experience the countryside on foot and by bicycle and, in winter, on skis and skates, finding accommodation in barns, houses, school buildings and later designated hostels in the countryside. In the 1960s, YHA NSW recognised eight principles including "2) Every encouragement should be given to those who travel by their own effort whether they travel by foot, bicycle, canoe, horse or row or sail", "3) Hostellers should be encouraged to enjoy the bush" and "4) Rural industries ... could be visited".

In recent decades, the Australian organisation changed focus and closed many hostels in rural areas and concentrated on providing travel accommodation in major tourist destinations, particularly large accommodation in metropolitan areas and coastal cities and towns where accommodation was already readily supplied. While still using the name YHA (Youth Hostels Association), the organisation no longer has a focus on providing accommodation for youths and now provides accommodation regardless of age. At the same time, the types of accommodation provided has changed from hostel to include hotel-style rooms and suites and self-contained accommodation. Having accumulated large debts on city and prime tourist location properties, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic decline in travel revenue, the organisation was forced to sell more hostels, many well below their account book value, with nineteen hostels closed.

Purpose & Mission statement
The organisation's current  corporate statement of purpose is: "To create an open and accommodating world where life flourishes" and its current  corporate mission statement is: "Our mission is to create a community in diverse spaces, by connecting the curious, inspiring personal growth and creating genuine local experiences, in a sustainable way".

History
For the history of Youth Hostelling as a movement distinct from YHA Ltd see Origins of youth hostelling.

Youth hostels were established in Australia long before and independent of the YHA organisation. The earliest youth hostels were established in the 1920s and, in 1933, Joan Anderson opened a youth hostel called The Hermitage at Narbethong, Victoria. In 1938, a meeting of 300 people in Upwey, Victoria passed a resolution supporting "establishing ... youth hostels" but not a YHA organisation. By 1940, there were "various enterprises adopting the name youth hostels for their accommodation." In 1940, the Government of New South Wales National Fitness Council established a Youth Hostel Planning Committee and subsequently operated youth hostels which were made available to the YHA NSW organisation after it was formed in 1942. In Tasmania, at least as early as 1944, a Camps and Hostels Committee operated to establish campsites and hostels, before the formation of the YHA Tasmania organisation in 1951. The South Australian National Fitness Council also established a youth hostel committee and the Western Australia National Fitness Council established a camps and hostels committee and commissioned a report by the University of Western Australia geographer (and former wartime internee), Dr. Joseph Gentilli, on the potential of youth hostels which included mapping and recording existing camps and hostels. The Queensland National Fitness Council expended funds to establish camps and youth hostels and made its facilities available for hostellers before the formation of the YHA Queensland organisation. In 1946, the YHA Victoria organisation challenged the Government of Victoria National Fitness Council over funds allocated for the establishment of camps and youth hostels but it was explained that the YHA organisation was not the only organisation entitled to the funding as "other organisations had taken to running ... youth hostels".

YHA Ltd was registered on 28 May 2002 under the name, YHA NSW Ltd. The organisation succeeded YHA NSW Inc., formerly named the Youth Hostels Association of New South Wales Inc. which had succeeded the unincorporated Youth Hostels Association of New South Wales which had been formed in 1943.

The first Youth Hostel Association formed in Australia was YHA Victoria, stemming from a inaugural public meeting in Melbourne town hall on 4 September 1939, follow-up meetings of an organising council, a conference on 18-19 May 1940 and eventually the constitution of an association on 30 September 1940. This was followed by YHA New South Wales (7 April 1943) formed under the auspices of the New South Wales National Fitness Council, YHA South Australia (1949), YHA Tasmania (1951), YHA Western Australia (1951), YHA Queensland (1962) and YHA Northern Territory (1976).

In 1947, YHA Victoria and YHA NSW and supporters from other states formed the Australian YHA as a federated body to co-ordinate the state-based YHA organisations and allow the YHA organisation in Australia to be represented in the International Youth Hostelling Federation (now Hostelling International). The Australian YHA could only make recommendations to the state-based YHA organisations and was not formally constituted until 1968.

Between 2007 and 2017, the state and territory-based YHA organisations outside New South Wales and the operations of the Australian YHA merged into YHA Ltd with some becoming controlled subsidiaries or charitable trusts.

Logo
In June 2022, the organisation registered a new trademark. The original YHA 'house and tree' symbol originated from the first Youth Hostelling signs in Europe in 1934. The tree and house represented the outdoor environment and shelter and the open door symbolised a welcome to travellers.

Awards

In 2019, the Grampians Eco YHA was the winner of 'Best Accommodation in Australia' and 'Best Accommodation in Victoria' at the Adventure Tourism Awards. Sydney Harbour YHA also won 'Best Accommodation in NSW' for 2019, along with Hobart Central YHA for 'Best Accommodation in Tasmania'.

In 2018, the winner of the 'Best Accommodation in Australia' award at this event was Noosa YHA, which also won the award for 'Best Accommodation in Queensland.' The following won in their respective States: Melbourne Central YHA (Victoria); Fremantle Prison YHA (WA) and Adelaide Central YHA (SA). In previous years, many other awards have also been bestowed on YHA properties, including Sydney Central YHA and Sydney Harbour YHA winning the 'Best Backpacker Accommodation' Award at the Australian Tourism Awards. Adelaide Central YHA has won 'Best Backpacker Accommodation' in South Australia; Alice Springs YHA has won 'Best Backpacker Accommodation' in the Northern Territory; Brisbane City YHA and Cairns Central YHA 'Best Backpacker Accommodation' in Queensland; Melbourne Metro YHA 'Best Backpacker Accommodation' in Victoria; Perth City YHA 'Best Backpacker Accommodation' in Western Australia, and Thredbo YHA 'Best Backpacker Accommodation' in the Canberra & Capital Region awards.

Heritage hostels

Fremantle Prison YHA is located in the World Heritage listed 19th century former prison's women's wing. Railway Square YHA (closed) is situated on the disused 'Platform Zero' of Sydney's Central Station, with replica rail carriages providing multi-share rooms and the old parcels sorting shed re-purposed into the hostel's main building. Newcastle Beach YHA is a converted 'gentleman's club' founded in 1885, and Blue Mountains YHA, Katoomba is a well preserved art deco building that used to be the home of the Wentworth Cabaret, featuring the oldest sprung timber dance floor in the Southern Hemisphere.

Sustainability

YHA Ltd has stated commitment to reducing its impact on the environment and raising awareness of the benefits of low-impact travel. YHA Ltd's Sustainable Hostels Fund, which encourages guests to donate $1 when they book a stay which YHA Ltd then matches, has helped install solar hot water systems at Adelaide Central, Perth City (sold), Byron Bay, Cairns Central, Glebe Point (sold 2020), Pittwater, Hawkesbury Heights (sold 2020), Grampians Eco Lodge and Melbourne Metro, as well as solar power in Alice Springs, which generates as much as half of that hostel's energy needs. The 145 solar cells installed on Perth City's rooftop in 2014 saves more than 42 tonnes of carbon emissions a year.

YHA-owned hostels stopped selling disposable water bottles in 2014, instead encouraging guests to purchase refillable bottles at reception. Some YHA hostels feature rainwater tanks, on-site vegetable gardens and composters, bike rental, swap shelves, low-energy lightbulbs/LEDs, and water-saving bathroom devices to promote sustainable travel.

Enzo Tortora (30 November 1928 – 18 May 1988) was an Italian television presenter on national RAI television, who was unjustly convicted of being a member of the Camorra and drug trafficking in 1985, and sentenced to 10 years in jail. He was acquitted of all charges by the Supreme Court of Cassation in 1987.

Early career

Tortora was born in Genoa, Italy. After taking a degree in journalism in his native city, he worked in theatre with Paolo Villaggio before joining the RAI – Italy's state radio and television corporation – as a radio announcer. In 1956, he first appeared on television and presented programmes such as Domenica Sportiva and Giochi senza frontiere. In 1969, he was fired by RAI when he described the company's managers as a group of boy scouts trying to pilot a supersonic jet plane unsuccessfully. Subsequently, he worked for several private TV stations and various newspapers, before returning to RAI in 1977.

During the 1970s Enzo Tortora was the co-founder of Telebiella, the first Italian free TV station that broke the state monopoly of TV broadcasting, and later of Telealtomilanese and Antenna 3 Lombardia.

In 1977, Tortora started to present a programme called Portobello, which attracted an audience of up to 26 million people every Friday night, far outperforming any other programme. Named after the Portobello Road market in London, the show allowed the audience, via telephone from home, to buy or sell things, present ideas or inventions, or look for a partner or someone they had not seen for years. The challenge for those participating in the studio was to get Portobello, the green parrot and mascot of the show, to say his name.

Arrest and conviction

On 17 June 1983, he was arrested and held in jail for 7 months after fake allegations by several pentiti of the Nuova Camorra Organizzata, such as Pasquale Barra, Giovanni Pandico and Giovanni Melluso. It was claimed that this was most likely a wrong identification with a man bearing the same surname, but the pentiti continued to accuse Tortora of offences related to cocaine dealing.

He was sentenced to ten years in jail in his first trial held in 1985, being spared further incarceration only thanks to the providential intervention of the Radical Party who offered him a candidacy to the European Parliament, which Tortora won in a landslide as the country divided between those who held him guilty and those who held him innocent.

Rehabilitation
In September 1986, the Court of Appeal of Naples fully acquitted Tortora. In 1987 the Supreme Court definitively affirmed Tortora's total innocence, and took action against those magistrates who had unjustly tried and sentenced him.

After four years, he returned to television, hosting his Portobello show in February 1987. Tortora began the show saying "Well then, where did we leave off?" (Dove eravamo rimasti?) He developed cancer and died in May 1988.

Willem F. H. Adelaar (born 1948 at The Hague) is a Dutch linguist specializing in Native American languages, specially those of the Andes. He is Professor of indigenous American Linguistics and Cultures at Leiden University.

He has written broadly about the Quechua, Aymara and Mapuche languages. His main works are his 2004 The languages of the Andes, an overview of the indigenous languages of the Andean region, which is considered a "classic" in the field. His Dutch language publications about the history and religion of the Inca and translations of Quechua chronicles have met with a broad public. A specialist on minority languages and language endangerment, he is also editor of UNESCO's "Interactive Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger".

In 1994 he was given a newly created Professorial chair in "Languages and Cultures of Native America" at the University of Leiden. He is noted for his belief that the linguistic diversity of the Americas suggests a deeper history of population than the standard account of the settlement of the Americas.

In 2014 he was made Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion in recognition of his scientific achievements. He also holds an honorary doctorate at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos of Lima, Peru. In 2019 he was elected a member of Academia Europaea.

A Chamber of Corporations is a key element in the idea of corporatism and could mean either:
 The Chamber of Fasces and Corporations was the lower chamber of the bicameral legislature of Italy between 1939 and 1943, replacing the popularly elected Chamber of Deputies.
 In Portugal during the Estado Novo regime, the upper chamber was dubbed Corporative Chamber.
 In Estonia, between 1924 and 1940, there were up to 17 Corporate chambers.


That Lady in Ermine is a 1948 American Technicolor musical film directed by Ernst Lubitsch. The screenplay by Samson Raphaelson is based on the 1919 operetta Die Frau im Hermelin by Rudolph Schanzer and Ernst Welisch.

Although Lubitsch received sole credit as director, he died after only eight days of filming, and the project was completed by Otto Preminger.

Plot
In 1861, Countess Angelina (Betty Grable), ruler of Bergamo in southeastern Europe, marries Mario (Cesar Romero), a baron she has known since childhood. When the castle is threatened by Hungarian hussars led by Colonel Teglash (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) on their wedding night, Mario flees.

At midnight, the paintings in the ancestral gallery come to life, and their subjects ask Francesca, Angelina's great-great-great-great-grandmother who looks exactly like Countess Angelina, to save the castle just as she did in the 16th century. Through a spyglass, Francesca observes Teglash leading the advancing army and finds herself attracted to him. When he sees her portrait, Teglash is puzzled by the fact she is wearing an ermine coat but no shoes.

Angelina greets Teglash, who flirts with her when he learns her bridegroom has escaped, but she makes it clear she respects her marriage vows and is concerned about her husband's safety. Angelina's servant Luigi, seeing how smitten the colonel is with his mistress, tells Teglash how three hundred years earlier, Francesca retained control of the castle when a tyrannical duke attempted to seize it. Via flashback, we see her, barefoot and in ermine, present herself to the duke and accompany him into his tent. After a period of time, Francesca departs, leaving the duke, with a dagger in his back, lying dead on his bed. Luigi tells the colonel that, according to rumor, she killed the duke because she feared she was falling in love with him.

Disguised as a gypsy, Mario returns to the castle but runs off when soldiers come to investigate. When he is captured, Teglash, unaware of his identity but impressed by his musical ability, decides to spare Mario's life and make him his personal gypsy. When he realizes he is Angelina's husband, he offers to free him if she dines with him that night, but she fails to rendezvous with him.

Francesca visits Teglash while he is asleep, prompting a dream in which Angelina joins him for dinner and demands a kiss. While she embraces him, she removes a knife from a roast pig and throws it at the clock, effectively stopping time. The two acknowledge their love and, as the gallery portraits look on, they fly up and crash through the roof.

The following morning, Teglash awakens to find the knife still in the pig and the clock ticking. Angelina arrives, and Teglash tells her he is freeing her husband and then describes his dream, touching her with his obvious deep feelings for her. When Mario arrives, she assures him she had nothing to do with the colonel.

Time passes, but Teglash still mourns the loss of Angelina. One night, while he is asleep, she arrives and falls asleep in a chair near his bed. Teglash revisits his prior dream, but this time the knife falls from the clock and Angelina stabs him with it. He awakens with a start and finds Angelina, who tells him Mario has left her and proposes they wed. That night at midnight, the portraits come to life once again to celebrate their union with song and dance.

Production
In 1942, 20th Century Fox purchased the screen rights to the 1919 operetta Die Frau im Hermelin, which had served as the basis of the 1922 stage musical Lady in Ermine by Al Goodman, Harry Graham, and Cyrus Wood. The operetta previously had been filmed twice, in 1927 as The Lady in Ermine, starring Corinne Griffith and Einar Hanson, and in 1930 as Bride of the Regiment with Vivienne Segal and Walter Pidgeon. At the time, the studio announced Irene Dunne would star in the dual roles of Angelina and Francesca, and a few months later, Charles Boyer was announced as her co-star, but nothing came of the project.

When Ernst Lubitsch became involved, he initially wanted Jeanette MacDonald for the female lead, although Fox production chief Darryl F. Zanuck preferred Gene Tierney, opposite either Cornel Wilde or Rex Harrison. The Production Code Administration deemed an early draft of the screenplay "unacceptable" because "adultery and suspicion of adultery [were] treated for comedy without any compensating moral values." PCA Director Joseph Breen suggested Angelina be portrayed as anxious to preserve her marriage and Mario be the one to instigate the dissolution of their union. His recommendations were incorporated into the script, and the final draft of the screenplay was approved. During pre-production, the film's title was Lady in Ermine, which was changed to This Is the Moment when principal photography began. By the time the film was released, its title had been changed yet again.

The film was Lubitsch's first musical project since directing The Merry Widow for MGM in 1934. It proved to be his last film. Eight days after principal photography began, he died of a heart attack, and Otto Preminger, who had completed A Royal Scandal when Lubitsch was forced to withdraw due to illness in 1944, took over the reins. He stipulated sole screen credit should go to Lubitsch "as a mark of respect and admiration for the departed master."

Friedrich Hollaender and Leo Robin composed the five musical numbers performed in the film.

The cast included Reginald Gardiner and Virginia Campbell, but an error on the promotional poster (pictured above) mistakenly credits "Virginia Gardiner."

Bosley Crowther of The New York Times called the film "a bright and beguiling swatch of nonsense cut straight from the rich, gold-braided cloth of best-grade Graustarkian romance and done in a nimble, playful style." He added, "Wrapped up in Technicolor, which complements the trappings and costumes, it is a luxurious something to walk into on a damp and oppressive August day. For Mr. Lubitsch was nothing if not thoroughly indulgent of the tastes of the workaday moviegoers for elegance, amplitude and splash. And he also was nothing if not generous—as far as his writers would be—with the twists and turns and conniptions of an aggressively impudent wit. Fortunately, both of these penchants have been amply supported in this film."

TV Guide rated it 2½ out of four stars, noting it "is definitely not a Lubitsch film" and adding, "Though the production was lavish, the film has no life and remains an exercise in trite and contrived plotting."

Douglas Fairbanks Jr. thought that Otto Preminger "ruined everything. No sense of humour, no fun, everything light in the... script was squeezed out... It just wrecked my [career] momentum, just wrecked it."

Awards and nominations
Friedrich Hollaender and Leo Robin were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "This Is the Moment," but lost to Jay Livingston and Ray Evans for "Buttons and Bows" from The Paleface.

Samson Raphaelson was nominated for the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Written American Musical.

DVD release
On September 25, 2006, the film was released on DVD with Ernst Lubitsch's 1946 film Cluny Brown as part of the two-disc set Hollywood Highlights 1 - Comedy.

A transit case is a hard-sided case intended for protecting and concealing defined contents during transportation. In some forms, the interior is filled with foam which has pockets molded or cut into it that equipment specifically fits into.  Some transit cases are provided with foam inserts that completely fill the interior and the user can pluck out pieces to make the case fit a particular application. Many camera cases are built in this fashion allowing the user to tailor the interior foam to their particular equipment.  The outside of the transit case provides protection against the environment and a first level of protection against mechanical damage such as shock. The interior foam or other structure cushions the equipment against shock and vibration and some protection against rapid temperature changes.

The difference between a transit case and a suit case is a transit case is configured with internal foam or other structure to hold and protect specific items.  A suit case is an empty case in which items can be placed in any order with no predefined locations other than features such as internal pockets. An empty transit case can be used as a suit case.

Transit cases can be procured in virtually any size to contain something very small to very large which may require several people or a fork lift to move.

Road cases are a subset of transit cases.  Road cases are traditionally manufactured with plywood sides and metal corner braces.  Transit cases are usually molded or formed from plastic, composite materials or aluminum so the top and bottom sections are seamless.

A rack case is a transit case with provision for mounting rackmount equipment such as amplifiers, computers, displays, radios, encryption devices, and so forth.  In many cases, the internal 19-inch rack is mounted to the transit case via shock absorbing mounts giving the rack sway space to attenuate shocks and bumps that might be seen during shipment and handling.

Features
A wide variety of features and options are available for transit cases.  The minimum feature set would include: rugged construction to protect the contents from mechanical abuse, tailored internal cushioning, blocking, and bracing, environmental sealing to protect against moisture, humidity, rain, dust, insects, chemicals, etc., multiple draw-down latches to firmly secure the covers on all sides.

Other available features may include the following: hinged or lift-off lid, two removable end caps, pre-cut foam, custom factory-cut foam, or do-it-yourself foam, rackmount rails for installation of 19-inch rackmount equipment, shock mounts for an internal rackmount frame, Retractable handles which are protected in some regard during shipping, airtight seal when the lid is closed and latched down, atmospheric pressure equalization valve , nitrogen filler valve, humidity indicators, wheels or casters, wheels and an extensible handle similar to a pull-around suitcase, legs to allow the removed lid to be used as a desk, and environmental controls: air conditioners, heaters or fans.

Construction
The principle design of a transit case is to assure environmental sealing and protection for the contents in adverse circumstances.  Thus, construction techniques that provide seamless components (body, lid, end caps) are primarily used: rotomolded and thermoformed polyethylene, rotomolded LLDPE thermoplastic, deep drawn aluminum, fiberglass reinforced thermoset composites, FRP composite (fiberglass reinforced polyester), carbon fiber composite, carbon fiber / Kevlar composites, laminated materials (mostly used on road cases)

Eli Mintz (born Edward Satz, 1 August 1904 – 8 June 1988) was an American actor of Polish-Austrian Jewish descent.

Biography
Born in Lemberg, Austrian-Hungary (now Lviv, Ukraine), the son of a tailor, Mintz began acting professionally as a child in the theatre, with his first performance being in a production of The Dybbuk. Emplyed a waiter on the steamship Lituania, he immigrated to the United States in 1927 with the intent of pursuing a career as an actor. His brother Ludwig Satz was already working as an actor in New York City before his arrival. Mintz worked as a waiter, a presser and a clothing salesman in New York City until he procured his first acting jobs within Yiddish theater during the 1930s. He decided to use the stage name Eli Mintz at this time, largely so that his name would be separated from his brother's career.

Mintz's first major break came in 1948 when he was cast as Uncle David in Gertrude Berg's Broadway play Me and Molly. The work was based on the long-running radio drama The Goldbergs where Menasha Skulnick played the role of Uncle David. Skulnick was unable to reprise his role on the stage, and since he was Mintz's friend, Skulnick recommended that Mintz be given the role. Mintz played the role so admirably that he was asked to play the part in the television adaptation of The Goldbergs which ran from 1949 through 1956. He also portrayed the role in the 1950 movie adaptation.

After the end of The Goldbergs television series, Mintz remained active as an actor in theatre, television, and film. On Broadway he appeared in The 49th Cousin (1960–1961), I Was Dancing (1964), Catch Me If You Can (1965), Jimmy Shine (1968–1969), and Molly (1973). He also appeared in the films The Proud Rebel (1958), Murder, Inc. (1960), Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood (1976), Boardwalk (1979), and Stardust Memories (1980). His television credits include appearances on The Doctor (1953), Kraft Television Theatre (1953–1954), Studio One (1951–1955), Playhouse 90 (1957), I Spy (1957), Lamp Unto My Feet (1958), Play of the Week (1960), Naked City (1962), The United States Steel Hour (1962), and Ben Casey (1962) among others. In 1980 he was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for his portrayal of the recurring character of Locksmith on the soap opera All My Children.

Mintz had two daughters, Leona Schwartz and Iva Loftman, with his wife Hasha. They also had four grandchildren: Adam and Elena Loftman and Paulette and Monica Schwartz. He died of pneumonia at Point Pleasant Hospital in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, aged 83. He was a resident of Brick Township, New Jersey.

Dai Xianrong (; born February 7, 1982) is a former professional Chinese footballer who mainly played as a centre-back. Throughout his career he predominantly played for Guangzhou F.C. where he won two second tier Chinese league one titles with them in 2007 and 2010 before retiring. And he was the member of U-23 China National Football Team.

Club career
Dai Xianrong predominately spent his career with his local football club Guangzhou F.C. and joined their senior team at the beginning of the 2002 Chinese league season. Within the second tier he would steadily establish himself as a regular within the squad over the seasons, which saw him become vice-captain of the team that won promotion to the Chinese Super League with Guangzhou at the end of the 2007 league season. Before the start of the 2008 Chinese Super League season the club brought in Peruvian international Ismael Enrique Alvarado and on March 29, 2008 Dai was allowed to go on loan to top tier side Shenzhen Shangqingyin for the rest of the season. Upon his return in the 2009 league season he would be used sparsely throughout the campaign, however despite the club finishing ninth they were relegated to the second tier for match-fixing during their 2007 promotion campaign. Dai would stay loyal to the team and remained at the club, however with the Evergrande Real Estate Group taking over the club they invested significantly within the squad and Dai saw his playing time drop, which saw him decide to announce his retirement after winning the 2010 Chinese league one title at the end of the season.

Anthony Vito Recker (born August 29, 1983) is an American broadcaster and former professional baseball catcher and first baseman. He previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Oakland Athletics, Chicago Cubs, New York Mets, and Atlanta Braves.

Baseball career

Amateur career
Born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Recker was raised by mother Alicia and stepfather Kip. He attended Catasauqua High School, where he also played football and basketball, and later continued his baseball career at Alvernia College, a small NCAA Division III school in Reading, Pennsylvania. One of Recker's college teammates was Zach Lutz, and the pair were coached by Lutz's father. While playing for the Crusaders, Recker spent some time on the mound, where he occasionally threw a knuckleball. Despite growing up in Pennsylvania, Recker's favorite team was the Oakland Athletics.

Oakland Athletics
Recker was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the 18th round of the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft out of Alvernia College. He began catching and, on occasion, playing first base professionally.

On August 23, 2011, he was promoted to the major leagues for the first time. He was named to the Triple-A All-PCL Team in 2011, a season in which he powered 16 home runs for the Sacramento River Cats. He made the Athletics' 2012 Opening Day roster, but was optioned to the minor leagues in May.

Chicago Cubs

Recker was traded to the Cubs for Blake Lalli on August 27, 2012. He appeared in 9 games, in the last few weeks of that season.

New York Mets
On October 24, 2012, Recker was designated for assignment. He was claimed off waivers by the New York Mets the next day.

Recker made the Mets' 2013 Opening Day roster as a backup catcher. Although Recker is a position player, he pitched the ninth inning for the New York Mets to preserve their regular pitchers in a lopsided game on June 30, 2013, where the Mets were defeated by the Washington Nationals by a score of 13–2. The last position player to pitch for the Mets before Recker did so was catcher Rob Johnson on May 18, 2012. He was optioned to the Triple-A Las Vegas 51s on August 19. He was recalled on August 28, as a backup to Travis d'Arnaud, due to the trade that sent catcher John Buck and outfielder Marlon Byrd to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Recker made the Opening Day roster in 2014 as a backup catcher to d'Arnaud. On April 12, Recker hit a solo home run in the top of the 13th off Matt Shoemaker to break the 6–6 tie between the Mets and Angels and win the game for the Mets 7–6.

After an early-season injury to d'Arnaud in 2015, the Mets kept Recker as a backup catcher, and promoted prospect Kevin Plawecki to serve as the starter.
On April 14, Recker played 3B in an emergency role.
On May 14, Recker had his first career multi-homer game against the Chicago Cubs, a game that the Mets went on to lose. On November 6, Recker was outrighted off the 40-man roster, making him a free agent. Recker hit .125 with two home runs, five RBIs in 80 at-bats in 32 games in 2015. From 2013 to 2015 as a Met, Recker hit 15 home runs in 140 games. However, Recker did manage to hit 8 home runs in just 108 plate appearances while playing for the Las Vegas 51s. Recker was known for his propensity to hit home runs late in games or in key situations.

Cleveland Indians
On November 27, 2015, Recker signed a minor league contract with the Cleveland Indians, including an invitation to spring training. He appeared in 19 games for the AAA Columbus Clippers, early in the 2016 season.

Atlanta Braves
Recker was traded to the Atlanta Braves on May 9, 2016, for cash considerations, and assigned to the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves. The Braves promoted Recker to the major leagues after an injury to Tyler Flowers that July.

On December 2, 2016, Recker and the Braves avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to an $800,000 contract for the 2017 season. He was initially optioned to Gwinnett at the end of spring training, but eventually was selected as one of the last two players to make the Braves’ 2017 Opening Day roster, alongside Chaz Roe. He had his contract purchased on July 21, 2017.

Minnesota Twins
On July 24, 2017, the Braves traded Recker, Jaime García, and cash considerations to the Minnesota Twins for prospect Huascar Ynoa. The Twins subsequently outrighted Recker to the minor leagues on July 28, 2017. He appeared in 19 games for the AAA Rochester Red Wings, that year. He elected free agency on October 10, 2017.

Arizona Diamondbacks
On March 5, 2018, Recker signed a minor-league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks, which included an invitation to spring training. He spent the season in AAA, catching in 66 of the 74 games in which he appeared for the Reno Aces. He elected free agency on November 3, 2018.

Personal life
Recker married Kelly Shepardson on November 2, 2013. His wife Kelly gave birth to their first child, Camden Anthony Recker, on December 29, 2014. They also have a younger son, Grady. He recently became an analyst on the Mets' network SNY and has filled in for Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling in the booth with Gary Cohen. "In early 2019, I decided [playing baseball] wasn’t the right thing for me to do anymore," he told The Morning Call in April 2020. "As soon as I made that decision, I quickly turned my gaze toward the TV world. It was something I liked doing and I already had a little bit of experience" from working the David Wright finale in September 2018.

The Steve Allen Playhouse was a vaudeville  and film theater in Hollywood, California. Located at 1228 North Vine Street, on the corner of La Mirada, it was originally named the La Mirada Theatre, and later the Filmarte Theatre.

History
The building opened in 1906 as the La Mirada Theatre. In 1929, as the Filmarte Theatre, it was a movie house showing only non-American films, catering to the "various foreign colonies in east Los Angeles. Russians from Boyle Heights were among its best customers."  It is the theater where Bob Hope performed his first stand-up act. The People Are Funny television program starring Art Linkletter was filmed there in the 1950s.

From 1962 to 1964 it was known as the Steve Allen Playhouse. Allen, in recreating what he invariably referred to as "The Old Tonight Show"—his 1954-57 stint as the first host of what NBC then referred to as Tonight! Starring Steve Allen—routinely used the street immediately to the north (La Mirada) and the adjacent Hollywood Ranch Market as extensions of the studio, and program, much in the way that David Letterman would later use various businesses around his CBS Late Night studio for comedic routines. When Allen and Westinghouse Broadcasting came to a sudden parting of the ways in 1964, the studio was used by the short-lived successor program, That Regis Philbin Show, Philbin's first national program.

During a renovation in 1990 the entire interior of the building burned, and it was later demolished. The site is now occupied by a mental health clinic.

The 2009 Turkish Grand Prix (officially the 2009 Formula 1 ING Turkish Grand Prix) was the seventh motor race of the 2009 FIA Formula One World Championship. It was held on 7 June 2009 at Istanbul Park, Tuzla, Turkey.

The race was won by Jenson Button, with Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull Racing completing the podium. Vettel had qualified on pole but a mistake on the first lap scuppered his chances of victory.

Report

Background
Jenson Button led the Drivers' Championship by 16 points from his teammate at Brawn, Rubens Barrichello going into the race, while Brawn GP led the Constructors' Championship by 43.5 points from Red Bull.

Tyre supplier Bridgestone selected the hard and soft tyres for the Grand Prix weekend.

Practice
In Friday practice 1, Williams, Ferrari and McLaren performed well, Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton and Jarno Trulli posting the top 3 times. Brawn, Toyota, Red Bull and Renault ran mid field during the session with BMW and STR backmarking.

In Friday practice 2, Williams, Renault and Red Bull were the most consistent performers, Heikki Kovalainen, Fernando Alonso and Robert Kubica posted the top 3 times. Ferrari, Brawn and Toyota ran mid field during the session with Force India and STR backmarking.

After both Friday practice sessions, individual performances were quite mixed, the only consistent constructor was Williams as BMW and McLaren saw mixed results, while top running teams Brawn and Red Bull ran upper mid field for both sessions.

Qualifying

Sebastian Vettel dominated the qualifying session on Saturday 6 June 2009, setting the fastest time in all three parts of qualifying to claim his second pole position of the season, and third of his career.

The first knockout session, to eliminate the five slowest cars, claimed the scalp of reigning World Champion Lewis Hamilton – only the second time the Englishman had failed to progress from the first session. Also eliminated were Nelson Piquet Jr., Sébastien Buemi, Giancarlo Fisichella and Sébastien Bourdais. They all produced times in the 1:28's.

In the second knockout session, the top 10, who progressed to the final shoot-out for pole, were separated by just 0.4 seconds, with Fernando Alonso and Nico Rosberg just sneaking through. Nick Heidfeld, Kazuki Nakajima, Timo Glock, Heikki Kovalainen and Adrian Sutil were knocked out, Heidfeld qualifying 11th for the second race in succession.

The third session to determine pole position was a tense battle with numerous drivers thinking they had claimed pole only for their time to be bettered.

Vettel was on provisional pole with a time of 1:28.801, with just a few minutes of the session remaining. Vettel's team mate Mark Webber then posted a 1:28.6, only for Button to go two-tenths of a second quicker after the chequered flag fell. Vettel, however, still had one lap left in him and went quicker again, reclaiming pole with a 1:28.316. Button's teammate Rubens Barrichello also improved on his final lap, moving up to third position, ahead of Webber, with a 1:28.5.

Race
History would favour Vettel, the previous four Turkish Grands Prix having been won from pole position. Button however had two more laps of fuel in qualifying, meaning he would have been on pole fuel-corrected.

Vettel initially made a strong start from pole, beating Button into the first corner. Vettel then ran wide at the tenth turn, gifting Button the lead. Button's Brawn team-mate had a less fortunate start, a clutch problem dropping him from third on the grid to thirteenth by the end of the first lap. Webber was running third, having initially been passed by Jarno Trulli before the Australian regained his position. Felipe Massa had moved up to fifth position, ahead of Kimi Räikkönen and Fernando Alonso. Reigning world champion Hamilton had lost a place on the first lap, meaning he was running in 17th position out of 20 runners.

At the front Button began to open up a lead over Vettel but the action was in the midfield, Nico Rosberg getting past both Ferraris to move up to fifth by lap six. On lap eight, Barrichello spun trying to pass Heikki Kovalainen after a wheel-to-wheel battle from Turns 9 to 16. The Brazilian dropped to seventeenth but quickly regained two places before losing part of his front wing in a clash with Adrian Sutil on lap eleven. Barrichello pitted on lap thirteen, conversely teammate Button had serenely opened up a 5.6 second lead at the front of the race.

The leaders began pitting for their first stops on lap 15, with Vettel the first to stop, followed by Button two laps later and Webber and Rosberg on lap 18. Significantly, Vettel was fuelled lighter on a three-stop strategy, in contrast to the other leaders two-stop strategy. Vettel was therefore able to close the gap on Button after the first stops with his lighter car, but was unable to make the pass he needed before his second stop on lap 29. Vettel exited the pits behind Webber, with all the leaders due to make one more pit stop.

On lap 37, Hamilton was lapped by championship leader Button, who made his second stop along with Webber on lap 43. Vettel briefly ran second but had to make his third pit stop on lap 48, demoting him back to third position. Trulli emerged from the pit stops in fourth, narrowly ahead of Rosberg, while Robert Kubica and Timo Glock had moved into the final points paying positions as Raikkonen struggled and Kazuki Nakajima was delayed by a left front wheel covering failing to attach in his final stop. Meanwhile, Barrichello's miserable race finally ended as he retired with a gearbox problem while running near the back of the field. This was the first time that a Brawn GP car was not running at the finish of a race.

Although Vettel closed the gap to Webber to just 0.7 seconds as the chequered flag fell, there were no significant positional changes in the final laps as Button cruised to his sixth win from the first seven races, a feat only matched by Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark and Michael Schumacher – who all won the World Championship after achieving this feat. Button also became the first Englishman to score record four consecutive victories since Nigel Mansell in 1992, who too went on to win the title that season.

The race attendance was reported as a meager 36,000, with the venue capable of holding 150,000.

USS Keresaspa (ID-1484) was a United States Navy cargo ship in commission from 1918 to 1919.

Keresaspa was built in 1903 as the commercial cargo ship SS Franconia for an Austro-Hungarian firm, the Franconia Steamship Company, Limited, by the Northumberland Shipbuilding Company, at Newcastle, England. She had been renamed SS Keresaspa by the time the U.S. Navy acquired her on 31 October 1918 for World War I service. The Navy assigned her the naval registry Identification Number (Id. No.) 1484 and commissioned her the same day as USS Keresaspa.

Assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service, Keresaspa departed New York City with a cargo of 400 horses and mules for transport to France. She discharged her cargo at La Pallice, France, and returned to the United States at Baltimore, Maryland, on 20 January 1919.

Following repairs Keresaspa was decommissioned on 11 February 1919 and returned to her owners. She returned to mercantile service, and was renamed SS Pannonia in 1922.
