Louisa Warren Hall (born June 24, 1982 in Philadelphia) is an American novelist and poet.  She has a Ph.D in literature from University of Texas at Austin, where she has taught literature and creative writing.

Education and early life
Hall grew up outside Philadelphia in the suburb of Haverford. She attended Episcopal Academy, where she played squash. She was also involved in the community service program, the choir, and played the violin. Hall attended Harvard College, and graduated in 2004, earning a BA in English. Her master's thesis concerned the poetry of Thomas Hardy. Hall is one of several members of the Harvard women's squash team to have later gone on to write professionally. Others include Galt Niederhoffer and Ivy Pochoda.

She completed her PhD in English in 2013, at the University of Texas, where she subsequently taught.

Career

Writing
Hall's first novel, The Carriage House, was published in 2013 by Scribner in the United States and by Viking in the UK. It garnered comparisons to John Cheever and Richard Yates. The novel is an adaptation of Jane Austen's 1818 novel Persuasion. However, the novel does not borrow its entire structure from Austen, and it is set outside Philadelphia.

Her second novel, Speak, was published in 2015 and addresses the complex relationship between humans and machines. The novel was well received. NPR said of Speak that "it almost seems like an understatement to call it a masterpiece." Speak garnered comparisons to Margaret Atwood and David Mitchell.

Hall is also a poet. Her poems have appeared in journals such as The New Republic and the Southwest Review.

Hall's third novel, Trinity, has been shortlisted for the 2019 Dylan Thomas Prize.

Squash
Between 2004 and 2007 Hall played squash professionally. During her collegiate career, Louisa was Ivy League Rookie of the Year, Ivy League Player of the Year, four year First Team All American and Four year All Ivy. She also won a Pan American Games gold medal.

St Francis Church, Salisbury is an evangelical, charismatic, Church of England parish church in the northern suburbs of Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, consecrated in 1940.

History
A wooden ex-Army hut was used for worship from 1930, to serve the new residential area to the north of the city. By 1932, although the area was still part of Stratford-sub-Castle parish, a curate had been assigned to it. An ecclesiastical district was created in 1937 from parts of the parishes of Stratford-sub-Castle and St Mark, and a vicar was instituted. A site was found nearby on Castle Road (the A345) for a permanent church: the foundation stone was laid in January 1939, and the church was consecrated in 1940.

The building is in a 20th-century style, having a wide nave with passage aisles and meeting rooms, and an apsidal Lady Chapel behind the sanctuary, instead of a chancel. The tall nave windows have shaped heads. On the south side of the church is a tower,  high. The building was designed by the architect Robert Potter. It is structurally concrete with brick cladding and infill, and artificial stone surrounds to the doors and windows. The roofs are of reinforced concrete covered with asphalt. The building was designated as Grade II listed in 1990. There was a major renovation in 2006. A single-storey flat-roofed extension, providing a new entrance, was added on the south side in 2017–2018.

Nikolaus Pevsner in the Buildings of England series notes that the building's details are similar to the work of Swedish architect Ragnar Östberg, and calls the white interior "quite impressive". Julian Orbach's updating of Pevsner's work compares the red brick to the power stations designed by Giles Gilbert Scott.

At first the church had no bells. One source states that by 1960 the bells of St Giles' in the evacuated village of Imber had been acquired, although another states that four of those had been sold for scrap and the fifth sent to Edington after they were removed from Imber in the 1950s.

The parish registers for christenings from 1930 and marriages from 1940, other than those in current use, are held in the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre.

Worship and activities
The church is affiliated to the Evangelical Alliance and the evangelical New Wine organisation. Services are designed to appeal to families and young people, and in 2013 the separate church hall was reconfigured as a community facility which also houses a pre-school.

Prateik Patil Babbar (born 28 November 1986) is an Indian actor and martial artist who predominantly appears in Hindi films. The son of late actress Smita Patil and actor Raj Babbar, he began his career as a production assistant before pursuing an acting career. Prior to his screen debut, Babbar appeared in television advertisements for a variety of products, including Nestle KitKat, on the recommendation of the filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar. Since his debut in Bollywood, Babbar has received accolades such as a Filmfare Award and a Stardust Award.

Babbar made his screen debut with the 2008 coming of age drama Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na. He garnered nominations at various award ceremonies including the Filmfares, Screen Awards, and the Stardust Awards for best debut, winning the last of the three. Babbar played a variety of roles in 2011, appearing in commercially viable projects such as the crime thriller Dum Maaro Dum and the political drama Aarakshan, while drawing the attention of critics for his performances in independent films, including the drama Dhobi Ghat and the romantic comedy My Friend Pinto. Following a number of box-office failures, he had his biggest successes with the thriller Baaghi 2 (2018), the comedy Chhichhore (2019) and the action drama film Darbar (2020).

Career
Patil Babbar assisted advertisement filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar for a year as a production assistant. During this time Babbar was cast in advertisement films for several companies, including KitKat.

Patil Babbar made his acting debut in the Aamir Khan production, Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na alongside Imran Khan and Genelia D'Souza. His portrayal of the annoying, attention-seeking brother of Genelia's character won him critical appreciation as well as numerous awards. At the 54th Filmfare Awards, Babbar received a Special Jury certificate, as well as nominations for Best Male Debut and Best Supporting Actor. The film went on to become a major commercial success.

Following this initial success, he appeared in films that earned him little recognition. In 2011, Patil Babbar appeared in four films, the first of which was Kiran Rao's Dhobi Ghaat, which opened to positive reviews at film festivals worldwide. Babbar also featured in the action-thriller Dum Maro Dum alongside Abhishek Bachchan and Rana Daggubati, and in the Prakash Jha-directed social drama Aarakshan with Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone. Also, in 2011, he acted opposite Kalki Koechlin in My Friend Pinto. His subsequent films include Ekk Deewana Tha and Issaq, both of which underperformed at the box office. In 2014, he made Bengali film debut in film titled Auroni Taukhon with Paoli Dam.

After gaining sobriety over substance abuse, he attended acting school taking up a course in method acting at the Jeff Goldberg Studio in 2016. Patil Babbar's first role after the course was in a short film entitled The Guitar. He made his feature film comeback with the comedy-drama Umrika, which opened at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival to a positive response. In 2017, he starred in a video titled "#DilSeAzaad", which highlighted the stigmas around addictions and addicts.

In 2018, he made a comeback with the film Baaghi 2, with Tiger Shroff in lead role, where Prateik for the first time portrayed an antagonist role as Sunny. He appeared in two more films; Anubhav Sinha's Mulk where he played Shahid Mohammed and Nitin Kakkar's Mitron.

In 2019, he appeared in a comedy-drama film, Chhichhore directed by Nitesh Tiwari and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, a story of seven friends. He also appeared in the 2019 Tamil language action thriller film Darbar, written and directed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Allirajah Subaskaran starring Rajinikanth. The film was a major commercial success.

As of September 2019, he has four upcoming films under various stages of production Brahmastra, Yaaram, and Sanjay Gupta's gangster film Mumbai Saga.

Early life
Pratik Babbar was born on 28 November 1986 and is the son of the actor-politician Raj Babbar and the actress Smita Patil. His mother died due to complications in childbirth when Prateik was born. Prateik was raised by his maternal grandparents in Mumbai. He has said in interviews that he had a strained relationship with his father while growing up, as his father was "always busy with his other family". However, he also said that he and his father reconciled after Prateik grew to adulthood.

Prateik's stepmother is the actress Nadira Babbar and his half-siblings are Arya Babbar and Juhi Babbar, also actors.

Personal life
In 2011, during the filming of Ekk Deewana Tha, he began a relationship with Amy Jackson, a British actress. They broke up the following year.

Following a battle with substance abuse in 2013, a problem that Babbar had struggled with in the past, he went through rehab and counseling and has stayed sober since.

Babbar married film producer, Sanya Sagar, on 23 January 2019 after dating for quite a few years. However, the couple separated in 2020 and divorced in January 2023.

Of Rivers and Religion is an album by American folk musician John Fahey, released in 1972. It was his first recording on a major label (Reprise Records) and is credited to John Fahey and His Orchestra. It marked a significant change from Fahey's previous releases, incorporating a backing band and performing songs and arrangements in a Dixieland jazz style. Although Time picked it as one of the Top Ten albums of 1972, it was also a difficult album to market and had little enthusiasm at Reprise.

History
Of Rivers and Religion was the first album Fahey recorded with producer/manager Denny Bruce. Bruce had negotiated the contract with Reprise after failing to negotiate with Fahey's previous label, Vanguard Records.

Bruce arranged for the musicians, beginning with Jack Feierman who wrote the majority of the arrangements. Many of the New Orleans session players had previously contributed to Walt Disney's soundtrack for Song of the South. Some of the same musicians would appear on Fahey's second release for Reprise, After the Ball. Multi-instrumentalist and session musician Chris Darrow later commented, "I remember the first time I ever heard him, I thought they'd turned the record from 45 to 33 or something, 'cause I couldn't believe how slow he played." The session band appeared on "Dixie Pig Bar-B-Q Blues", "Texas and Pacific Blues" and "Lord Have Mercy".

Speaking of both Of Rivers and Religion and After the Ball in a 1998 interview for The Wire, Fahey recalled, "I don't understand why they got bad reviews. It's like every time I wanted to do something other than play guitar I got castigated."

The album cover featured a photo staged at Disneyland's Tom Sawyer's Island.

Reception

Time picked Of Rivers and Religion as one of the Top Ten albums of 1972.

In his AllMusic review, critic Brian Olewnick called it "A fine effort and certainly something that belongs on the shelves of any fan of the late, very great guitarist", while music critic Robert Christgau said "[it's] not for everyone, but I think this is his best" and gave it an A rating; later, Christgau would rank it as the twenty-fifth best record of the decade.

In his 1972 review for Rolling Stone Bob Palmer praised the change in direction and said, "[Fahey] uses traditional motifs to construct pieces of dazzling contrasts, counter-balancing their deep feelings and dark undertows with a dry but devastating sense of humor... it's Fahey's show most of the way and the guitarist makes the most of what is surely his finest hour."

Reissues
Of Rivers and Religion was reissued on CD in 2001 by Collectors' Choice.
Of Rivers and Religion was also reissued along with After the Ball in 2003 by Warner Bros. Records.

Foraire Uladh ar Aodh is an Irish poem by Maol Sheachluinn na n-Uirsgéal Ó hUiginn.

Composed in the early fifteenth century, it is an address to Aodh mac Art Mag Aonghusa, Chief of Uí Echach Cobo. It "... apparently became accepted as a masterpiece in the bardic schools, since it was the model for Eochaidh Ó hÉoghusa's more tongue-in-cheek treatment, Bíodh aire ag Ultaibh ar Aodh.

Mag Aonghusa controlled the Newry Pass, which played an important part in preventing the forces of the Dublin government entering Ulster to contest the rebels of the province; this made him:

"literally the procective sentinel of the province. ...There was some factural basis for the imagery of the tireless watchman, since the Annals give evidence suggesting that during times of open hostility the frontiers of Ireland's small lordships were guarded by horse-patrols to give the inhabitants early warning of approaching cattle-raid.  .. the image of the patron as a vigilant sentilel could be used to evoke a more radical symbolism of the king as cowherd or shepherd (buachaill or aoghaire) of his subjects, standing between them and all perils, natural and supernatural."

The 1855 New York state election was held on November 6, 1855, to elect the Secretary of State, the State Comptroller, the Attorney General, the State Treasurer, the State Engineer, two judges of the New York Court of Appeals, a Canal Commissioner and an Inspector of State Prisons, as well as members of the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate.

Nominations
Both the Whig state convention and the Anti-Nebraska state convention met on September 26 at Syracuse, New York. John Alsop King presided at the Whig convention, Reuben E. Fenton at the Anti-Nebraska convention. After organizing the Whigs, the delegates decided to join the Anti-Nebraskans, and marched to their assembling place. There the two parties merged and adopted the name Republican Party, and continued as the Republican state convention with King and Fenton as co-chairmen.

Results
Due to the chaotic political situation with the major parties split over the slavery question, a new party being founded by the fusion of factions of all previous parties, and four tickets competing, the American Party had the most surprising election victory in the history of the State of New York, winning eight of the nine state offices. Only the jointly nominated Democrat Henry L. Selden could defeat his American and Republican opponents. The incumbents Cook, Follett and Darius Clark were defeated.

16 Republicans, 11 Americans, four Democrats and one Temperance man were elected to a two-year term (1856–57) in the New York State Senate.

47 Democrats, 44 Americans, 35 Republicans and 2 Whigs were elected to the New York State Assembly of the 79th New York State Legislature.

Odell Hodge (born March 26, 1973) is an American former basketball player for Old Dominion University and, later, professional teams in Belgium.

High school
Hodge was most known for his potent scoring ability since his high school days at Laurel Park High School in Martinsville, Virginia. He is in the state of Virginia's Top 25 single season scoring leaders of all-time because of his 786-point season during 1991–92. He is currently second all-time in Virginia high school career points (2,530). At the time of his graduation, he was 1st alltime.

Old Dominion University
Odell Hodge established himself as one of the greatest men's basketball players in Old Dominion University history. He began his career by earning the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Rookie of the Year in 1993. While playing for the Monarchs, Hodge compiled over 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. His 2,117 points and 1,086 rebounds make him only one of four Division I men's basketball players in Virginia history to reach the 2000/1000 club (the others are Ralph Sampson, Kenny Sanders, and Jeff Cohen). In 1994 and 1997, Hodge's sophomore and redshirt senior seasons, he was named both the CAA Player of the Year and CAA Tournament MVP. He was named to the CAA's All-Defensive squad in 1997 and ranks in the CAA's top ten all-time in scoring, second to David Robinson in career blocked shots (286), and in the top five of all-time CAA rebounding. Hodge graduated in 1997 and received his degree in recreation and leisure studies.  Because of Hodge's success as a basketball player at Old Dominion University, his #33 jersey was retired up in the banners of the TED Constant Convocation Center on February 12, 2010 and he was inducted into the school's athletic hall of fame.

Belgian First Division
Hodge did not go on to play in the National Basketball Association (NBA) despite his collegiate success. He instead moved to Brussels to compete in the Belgian First Division level of professional basketball. Between 1999 and 2008, Hodge played for three different Belgian teams. His best statistical season occurred in 1999–2000 while playing for Royal Go Pass Pepinster. He averaged 15.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game in 23 games played.  Odell Hodge also competed in the 2000–2001 Korac Cup as a member of the Telindus Mons Hainaut for four games totaling 12 points. Though he did have moderate success throughout the other years, Hodge was never named to any all-star teams. Hodge stills lives in Belgium where he still resides with his wife, Sofie Ceyssens, and his two children Matthew and Jayden.

Thomas Alexander Pearce (18 December 1910 – 11 August 1982), known as Alec Pearce, was an English cricketer who played for Kent County Cricket Club and for Hong Kong in Interport matches. He was later President of both clubs.

Early life and family
Pearce was born in Hong Kong in 1910, the son of Thomas Ernest Pearce, a businessman in the then British colony. His grandfather, the Reverend TW Pearce, was a missionary in the colony and Pearce's father worked for J. D. Hutchison & Co, a trading company, from 1903 before purchasing a controlling share in the company in 1917. TE Pearce played cricket for the colony in Interport matches against Shanghai and Malaya and was described as one of the strengths of the side between the wars.

Pearce was educated at Charterhouse School, where he was in the school cricket XI for three years. He was described as "one of the best bats Charterhouse have had for some time" and as a "natural games-player" who played rackets for Charterhouse.

Cricket career and later life
After leaving school, he made his first-class cricket debut for Kent in August 1930 against Lancashire at Dover. Pearce played regularly for the county in 1931 and 1932 and won his county cap in the later season, scoring 581 runs at a batting average of 24.13 during the season, including a score of 83 at Tunbridge Wells against Northants as part of a partnership of 194 runs with Les Ames which was described as "brilliant cricket". He returned to Hong Kong at the end of the season to join his father's business, although he played for Kent in 1937 and 1946 whilst in England on leave.

During World War II Pearce was captured after the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in 1941. His father was killed during the Battle of Hong Kong while serving as a private soldier and Pearce was imprisoned with his brother John at Sham Shui Po for the duration of the war. He returned to England in 1946, scoring his only first-class century during the 1946 season. He made three first-class appearances for MCC between 1932 and 1946.

Pearce was described in his Wisden obituary as playing mainly "the typical rackets player's off-side strokes", although his "glorious fielding in any position" was considered his "main value" to Kent. He was a "prolific scorer" in club cricket, captained Hong Kong in Interpret matches and was "a leading figure" in Hong Kong cricket, serving as Hong Kong Cricket Club President between 1961 and 1967. He retired to England where he was a member of the Kent Committee and President of the club in 1978 as well as being a scratch golfer.

Pearce lived at Hawkhurst in retirement and died in hospital at Tunbridge Wells in August 1982 aged 71. After his death Pearce's widow, Nina, presented a set of framed photographs of every capped Kent player to the club in his memory. These, which continue to be added to, hang in the Pavilion at the St Lawrence Ground, Kent's Canterbury headquarters. The couple had two daughters.

Santiago Municipal Airport was a both passenger and military airport located in the Center of Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic. This airport served this city with daily flights to San Juan in Puerto Rico, Port-au-Prince in Haiti, Santiago de Cuba, Miami and others. It was the major hub of Dominair, who had based two Dash 8 here. It was also used as a secondary hub by the FAD.

History
This airport was built in the 1930s, during Trujillo's government, with the major purpose of stimulating the city's growth.

The operations were focused on passenger movements between San Juan and Santiago, and also cargo operations to San Juan, Santo Domingo and Port-au-Prince.

Before ceasing operations, Dominicana de Aviación became the first airline to connect Santiago with the United States, starting operations between Santiago and Miami, in  McDonnell Douglas DC-6 aircraft in the 1970s.

In the 1990s, another Dominican airline, Dominair, started operations in the airport, with two daily flights to San Juan. They added flights to Port-au-Prince three years later.

In 1998 the airport had its biggest expansion ever. They enlarged the runway to support operation of the American Eagle's ATR aircraft. The airport remained closed for at least eight months.

In 1999 American Eagle started, for the first time, operations in Santiago, adding two daily flights to San Juan, making Dominair to leave the route.

In 2002 the airport closed its doors to the public due to the inauguration of a bigger airport, Cibao International Airport, located 15 minutes away from the city center. This new airport allowed jet-passenger aircraft operations and could receive flights from New York, Miami and San Juan, which Santiago Municipal Airport could not handle.

On March 18, 2002, the two American Eagle flights to San Juan were transferred to the new Cibao International Airport, ceasing passenger operations in Santiago Municipal Airport. A Year later the Santiago Air Base became unnecessary for the FAD, and a cost that they could not handle by themselves, so they moved all operations to the Puerto Plata Air Base (located in Gregorio Luperon International Airport). Santiago Municipal was now completely closed, with no operations at all.

Santiago Municipal Airport is now known as Cibao Center National Police, north command of operations for the National Police.

Dominican Air Force operations

Santiago Municipal Airport was the secondary hub for the Dominican Air Force. They had at least 30% of their operations in this airport. They also had their own ramp and terminal, located behind the hangars of the Civil Aviation, next to the control tower.

All the military operations to the northwest of the country were originated from Santiago Municipal, which people also referred to as Santiago Air Base, pointing the Military Terminal.

Post-closure
The Central Park of Santiago is projected to be constructed on the land of the now defunct old Santiago Municipal Airport that now lodges the regional seat of the National Police and the offices of the Association for Development. The industrialists of Santiago have defended the project since it is considered to be a solution to the lack of green spaces suitable for relaxation in the city. Nevertheless, it has been argued that the granting of contracts for the different phases from this project violate the frame of transparency and legality. In the Strategic Plan of Santiago it is indicated that the construction of the Metropolitan Park would increase the Santiagos green area from its current 1.1% to 4%.

While the old military side of the airport is now used for the National Police, the old passenger terminal side is now used as a racetrack.

(, ) is a Dolomite plateau and the largest high-altitude Alpine meadow () in Europe. Located in Italy's South Tyrol province in the Dolomites mountain range, it is a major tourist attraction, notably for skiing and hiking.

Geography
It is located in the western part of the Dolomites and has an altitude between 1,680 m a.s.l. and 2,350 m a.s.l.; it extends for 52 km² between Val Gardena to the north, the Sassolungo Group to the north-east and the Sciliar massif to the south-east, which with its unmistakable profile is one of the most famous symbols of all the Dolomites.
Given the vastness of the area, from here it is possible to admire a large number of mountain groups: among others, the Sella Group, the Rosengarten group and the Marmolada.

It is the largest alp (area where pasture is practiced) in Europe. It is divided into numerous plots reserved to grazing or from which the farmers get hay for their farms located downstream.

The eastern part has been included since 1975 in the Sciliar natural park.

Surrounding peaks
The alp offers a panoramic view which includes (from north, in a clockwise direction): Peitlerkofel (Sass de Putia, 2,873 m), the Odle and the Puez groups (3,025 m), the Gran Cir, the Sella group (3,152 m), Langkofel (Sassolungo, 3,181 m) and Plattkofel (Sassopiatto, 2,995 m), the Marmolada (3.343 m), the Pala group (Pale di San Martino, 3,192 m), the Vajolet Towers (2,821 m) the Rosengarten group (Catinaccio, 2,981 m) with the peak of the Kesselkogel (Catinaccio d'Antermoia, 3,002 m) and the Schlern (Sciliar, 2,450 m).

Classification
The SOIUSA system considers the plateau as an alpine group with the following classification:
 Main part: Eastern Alps
 Major sector: South-Eastern Alps
 Section: Dolomites
 Subsection: North-Western Dolomites
 Supergroup: Gardena's Dolomites
 Group: Seiser Alp Group
 Code: II/C-31. III-A.3

It also attributes to the plateau the three following subgroups:

 Subgroup A: Palancia-Cresta di Siusi ridge
 Subgroup B: Dorsal Denti di Terra Rossa-Punta d'Oro-Piz ridge
 Subgroup C: Dorsal Bulacia-Salames-Col di Rende ridge

After the Ball is an album by the American folk musician John Fahey,
released in 1973. It was his second and last recording on the Reprise label and like its predecessor, Of Rivers and Religion, it sold poorly.

History
Following in the same mold as Fahey's first album with Reprise, Of Rivers and Religion, accompanists were used on most of the material. Denny Bruce was once again co-producer and many of the musicians were the same. Jack Feierman again wrote the ensemble arrangements. Like Of Rivers and Religion, the Dixieland-style jazz danceband numbers were unlike anything else Fahey had done before. Following the fulfillment of the two-album contract and lackluster sales, Fahey was released from Reprise and went back to recording for his own Takoma label.

Speaking of both Of Rivers and Religion and After the Ball in a 1998 interview for The Wire, Fahey recalled, "I don't understand why they got bad reviews. It's like every time I wanted to do something other than play guitar I got castigated."

"Bucktown Stomp" is an adaptation of "Smoketown Strut" by the blues guitar player Sylvester Weaver. The version of "Candy Man" here is based on Reverend Gary Davis' version. Fahey later re-recorded "Hawaiian Two-Step" as "Spanish Two-Step".

The title song, "After the Ball" by Charles K. Harris, was popularized in Oscar Hammerstein II and Jerome Kern's 1927 musical Show Boat.

Reception

In his Allmusic review, critic Jeff Schwachter wrote, "...the album suffers from too many mood swings. Individually, however, the tunes are strong and the arrangements very accessible and light." and "The album cover and even the selected tunes and titles are cuttingly funny, but the songs themselves are played warmly and delivered with care, heartfelt arrangements, and a slightly satirical sentimentality."

The music critic Robert Christgau wrote, "I'd rather listen to this collection of standards and acoustic blues and rag inventions than any rock record this side of the Allmans and the New York Dolls. Conditionally guaranteed."

In a review of the reissue, the music critic Thom Jurek called it "...a more up-tempo affair steeped in the Delta blues and in wildly varying New Orleans and bluegrass music."

Reissues
After the Ball was reissued along with Of Rivers and Religion on CD in 2003 by Warner Bros. Records.

BravoFACT (Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent) was a Canadian fund that ran continuously from 1995 to 2017. It was established to fund the creation of Canadian arts-based short films and videos. BravoFACT funded shorts from various subject matters, genres and styles including animation, drama, comedy, dance, and more. BravoFACT was established in 1995 by Bravo, a Canadian specialty television channel devoted to the arts, as a condition of licence. The fund was supported entirely by Bravo, and the supported projects aired on Bravo! weekly, on BravoFACT Presents.

In 2017, at the request of Bell Media, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission deleted the condition of licence requiring Bravo! to financially contribute to BravoFACT. On September 26, 2017, bravoFACT was officially discontinued.

Background
While active, BravoFACT's objectives were to:
 Stimulate public interest in Canadian excellence in the arts.
 Encourage the creation of new ways of presenting the arts on television.
 Increase public recognition of Canadian artists and their works.
 Provide professional opportunities for film and video-makers.

"The idea is for artists to be given a chance to have their work exposed to the greater television viewing audience," said executive director Judy Gladstone. Bravo!FACT was the largest funder of short films in Canada, including I Met the Walrus. The fund also partnered with the National Film Board of Canada on Shorts in Motion: The Art of Seduction, one of the first multi-platform programs produced in Canada aimed at the mobile audience. The project won accolades around the world, including an International Interactive Emmy nomination, Best Made for Mobile Video Service at the GSM Global Mobile Awards (Barcelona, 2007) and Banff World Television Award for Best Original Content for Mobile (Banff, 2007).

Cornelius "Con" Moulson (3 September 1906 – 27 October 1989) was an Irish footballer and manager. His early playing career was spent in his native Ireland, before a spell in the English leagues, most notably for Lincoln City between 1932 and 1936, and then again from 1939 to 1943, with a spell at Notts County in between his two spells at Lincoln. He also won five call-ups for his country.

His playing career ended in 1943 and he subsequently took up a job at a factory in Lincoln, where he continued working after the war ended, along with taking up a part-time role as Lincoln City's kit man. When long-serving manager Bill Anderson retired in 1965, Moulson was the shock choice to be the club's new manager, despite not having had any day-to-day involvement in football for almost three decades. After only eight matches, which saw an unconventional 3–3–4 formation being deployed and 21 goals conceded, Moulson was relieved of his duties. Every single one of the eight matches which Moulson was in charge for ended in defeat, giving him arguably the worst record of any permanent manager in the entire history of the league.

After his turn as manager, Moulson reverted to his role as kit man and resumed work at the factory where he had been previously working.

His brother, George Moulson was also a footballer. The two were honoured by their hometown of Clogheen in 2013.

Sir Henry Sessions Souttar    (14 December 1875 – 12 November 1964) was a British surgeon with a wide breadth of interests. He trained first as a mathematician and engineer. His engineer’s training enabled him to design and make new types of surgical instrument. His mathematical training made him a leader in setting out the first British guidelines for Radiotherapy. In 1925 he pioneered "blind" open heart surgery on a patient with congenital heart defect. This was not repeated until 1948.

Biography
Henry Sessions Souttar was born at Birkenhead on 14 December  1875, the only son of Robinson Souttar, Member of Parliament for Dumfries (1895–1900), and his wife Mary. He was educated at Oxford high school and Queen's College, Oxford (1895–8). He gained a double first in mathematics and also studied engineering. In 1904 he married Catharine Edith, daughter of Robert Bellamy Clifton, professor of experimental philosophy at Oxford. They had a son and a daughter.

Souttar qualified in medicine at the London Hospital, where he became MRCS, LRCP in 1906. He became FRCS in 1909 and was appointed as a surgical registrar. He joined the staff of the West London Hospital and in 1915 he became assistant surgeon to the London Hospital.

At the outbreak of war in 1914, Souttar was appointed surgeon to the Belgian field hospital at Antwerp. He was awarded the Order of the Crown of Belgium, and later he was appointed CBE.

Souttar applied his mathematical background and his engineering skills to his surgery. He had his own workshop where he designed and made many surgical instruments, with the aim of improving existing operative procedures. His inventions included: a flanged tube to overcome obstructions in the gullet, a steam cautery to sterilize and clean breaking-down tumours and ulcers on the skin, and a craniotome to open the skull in brain operations.

With the introduction of radium in the treatment of malignant tumours, Souttar’s mathematical skill in assessing both dose and range was very valuable and he chaired many committees on this subject. He designed a 'gun' by which radon seeds could be implanted in or around a tumour.

Souttar's most famous innovation was in heart surgery. In 1925 surgery of the chest was in its infancy and operations on the valves of the heart were unknown. Souttar operated successfully on a young woman with Mitral valve disease, devising a new procedure. He made an opening in the appendage of the left atrium and inserted a finger in order to explore and correct the damaged mitral valve. This was a pioneer operation. The patient survived for several years and the operation is regarded as a great landmark in cardiac surgery. He was only permitted to do the operation once. Souttar's physician colleagues at that time decided the procedure was not justified and he could not continue. The next operations of this type were done by others in 1948.

Souttar was instrumental in the foundation of the faculties of Dental surgery and Anaesthetists at the Royal College of Surgeons.

After his retirement in 1947 from the London Hospital Souttar retained his active interest in surgery. Following the death of his first wife in 1959, Souttar married again in 1963; his second wife was Amy Bessie, widow of Harry Douglas Wigdahl. Souttar died at his London home on 12 November 1964; the funeral service was held at St Marylebone Church, of which he had been a churchwarden for many years.

Souttar was a good linguist and a competent musician. He is said to have made a violin which he himself played. He illustrated his own textbook, The Art of Surgery (1929). He was a very tall and powerfully built man, dark in his younger days, and impressive looking. He was noted for his extreme courtesy and kindness, and for his ingenuity and ideas.

The Stoner criterion is a condition to be fulfilled for the ferromagnetic order to arise in a simplified model of a solid. It is named after Edmund Clifton Stoner.

Stoner model of ferromagnetism

Ferromagnetism ultimately stems from Pauli exclusion. The simplified model of a solid which is nowadays usually called the Stoner model, can be formulated in terms of dispersion relations for spin up and spin down electrons,

where the second term accounts for the exchange energy,  is the Stoner parameter,  () is the dimensionless density of spin up (down) electrons and  is the dispersion relation of spinless electrons where the electron-electron interaction is disregarded. If  is fixed,  can be used to calculate the total energy of the system as a function of its polarization . If the lowest total energy is found for , the system prefers to remain paramagnetic but for larger values of , polarized ground states occur. It can be shown that for

the  state will spontaneously pass into a polarized one. This is the Stoner criterion, expressed in terms of the  density of states at the Fermi energy .

A non-zero  state may be favoured over  even before the Stoner criterion is fulfilled.

Relationship to the Hubbard model

The Stoner model can be obtained from the Hubbard model by applying the mean-field approximation. The particle density operators are written as their mean value  plus fluctuation  and the product of spin-up and spin-down fluctuations is neglected. We obtain

With the third term included, which was omitted in the definition above, we arrive at the better-known form of the Stoner criterion

Pieces of You is a work of fiction published by Daniel Armand Lee, also known as Tablo, leader of South Korean rap group Epik High. It was published in Korean in November 2008, and in English in February 2009.

Lee's Korean translation of the book was published prior to its English counterpart and sold more than 200,000 copies, consistently ranking as a bestseller in Korea. Due to high demand, he published the original English version, Pieces of You, three months after its Korean release, and it soon became a bestseller as well.

Overview
The book consists of ten short stories, all written during his college career from 1998 to 2001. Tablo says the factual setting of New York City doesn’t mean much, as he added some fictitious elements into his stories. New York City could potentially be a significant reason as to why he delved into hip-hop music, as the beginning was written when he worked as an assistant director of an independent movie. All of the stories were written for class assignments during his undergraduate years, thus his audience were his professor and classmates. Some stories are very controversial and self-reflective for those readers who are in their early twenties. He recalls the pieces of memory from his youth in the prologue, excerpted below.

"My heart was closed. Cold.
I was self-conscious and cynical.

These are the pieces of my youth,
The small secrets and not-so-great expectations
that defined my coming of age.

But through this craft, through my love for writing,
I discovered a world outside of the small windowless one
I had built for myself.
A world of soft-spoken beauty.

So here I am,
Choosing to kick away the ladder
So that I may remain at your side.

I understand your solitude
I see your shadow."

2009 Feb. Tablo

Both literary critics and fans conclude that the tone of this book can be summed up in the words “solitude” and “shadows,” which the author himself recalls from his youth. "Andante,” the first story, gains the most recognition. The ten stories, listed below, are arranged in the order in which they were written.

Andante: it is about the conflict between the father and the son. The son is greatly influenced by his father who is a prominent pianist, and he eventually follows the identical path as his father.  Upon watching his father confront Alzheimers, he becomes more worried about his life and his family. In the end, the son becomes hopeful when his father keeps asking what song he can hear while his father's recorded version of Fur Elise is being played, and the son realizes that he can hear his father's breathing within his music. Counting Pulses: it is a story about the son and his mother. The son is always conscious about taking care of his sick mother who needs his care even when she is in need of taking medicine. At one night, the son brings his friend to his house and they start smoking weed while the mother is in sleep.  Due to excessive inhalation, the son starts suffering from a respiratory problem resulting him into a critical situation.Break: it is a short story compared to his other stories which is about the teacher who takes a break from his students.  During this short break, he starts feeling overwhelming pain; here the word "break" literally means a break which he has now, but it can also mean the life and the condition that he is in, which breaks him. The Rat: this is a story where the casting director of a movie with nude scenes invites the main actress to his house.  As he invites the cast to his house, he notices that there is a big rat staying in his bedroom.  He becomes paranoid of the fact that there is a big rat in his bedroom which it reminds him of the girl. Matchbox: it is a story about the son who starts smoking due to his father who is a chain-smoker. He starts smoking when he is six and he quits smoking at the age of twenty-five when he realizes how horrible cigarettes are for his health. A Glass of Victory: it is a story about the conflict between two friends.  The main character attends the high school reunion where he meets his rival during the students' president election. He is ridiculed and disgusted by the resemblance of his friend and his son. Suddenly, he recalls the high school student's president election, where he lost to him by a little, but the difference in votes has never been revealed.  After he meets the janitor from high school accidentally, he hears from him that there were some votes thrown out inside the garbage.  He realizes how his rival cheated on the election, and he goes up to him and punches his face, but he loses miserably in fight again. The Walls of Our World: this story explores the internal, almost insuppressible lust within all humankind, regardless of the masks of occupation, status, and position in the social hierarchy. Hate Crime: it is a story about the Asian identity as seen by Caucasian culture. The story comments on the lack of differentiation, and ignorance towards the different ethnicities within the US-Asian population. Coup de Grace: this story portrays how a cowardly father forces his son to become a strong and brave person. By creating himself into a completely different person, he doesn’t only deceive himself but he also deceives even his family members. In the end, the coward turns out to be not his son but himself. Strawberry Fields Forever: this story portrays the fast-paced nature of our life, for instance, how things bypass us so quickly that we sometimes forget to appreciate their value.

Reception

Byung Ryul Lee, a well-known poet and prose writer for his bestseller Attraction, commented on Tablo’s book in a blurb, found on the back of both the Korean and English versions. He says the book allowed him to understand the author better: “The first thought that crossed my head after reading his book was my spark of awareness of how lonely and solitude life that the author, Tablo had prolonged.” Lee’s critics directly depicts Tablo’s work from his perspective as he addressed: “It reminds me of his panic-state of his youth which is difficult to hold up regardless of many effortless trials, and throughout this book, I felt that I became aware of his profound inner mind as well. ... This book softly embraces those who reluctantly live their lives without acknowledging the true colors of each of the individuals. ...While reading his novel, I was able to know this person, and simultaneously I happened to learn many things that I had very little knowledge of.”  Lee addresses this novel as more than just a celebrity’s book, as it actually made him reflect his 20s, and how he has changed from then.

Tablo is a survivor. I could imagine the young man in his early twenties, in a vacuum of confusion and loneliness, struggling to grasp the ungraspable. I almost felt like a voyeur, peeping into his innermost emotions. His stories offer a warm hand to the shoulders of anyone who is lost, anyone who is struggling to discover the subversive concept of 'self'. The cracks and crevices between his sentences and words hold an intensity that landslides the heart. I feel that I've learned many things about Tablo's internal world, and I'm thankful that he has decided to share it with the world.
- Lee Byung-ryul (Poet, Author of 『Attraction』)

Slices of time, silent and gentle.
Yet, an intense emotional storm brews within.
Concisely written, but written with deep warmth.
Breathtakingly painful in its beauty.
Tablo is an admirable writer.
- Lee Juck (Musician, Author of 『The Fingerprint Hunter』)

Grupo Fantasma is a nine-piece Latin funk orchestra from Austin, Texas.

Biography
Formed in 2000 from the merger of two Austin acts, The Blimp and The Blue Noise Band, the band emerged with a biweekly gig at the Empanada Parlour in Austin in 2001. The band is best known for their exuberant live shows, innovative contemporary recordings and associations with Prince and his 3121 Club in Las Vegas. The band backed Prince on numerous occasions, including his performance on the ALMA Awards in 2007, and often performed at his after-party jam sessions. The band has performed with a diverse array of artists including Maceo Parker, Sheila E, GZA of Wu-Tang Clan, Spoon, Daniel Johnston, and many others. The ensemble has sold more than 20,000 albums independently and has had music featured in many popular television series.

Grupo Fantasma twice played the Austin City Limits Music Festival and taped an episode of the Austin City Limits television series on PBS, which first aired November 17, 2007. They have also performed at such festivals as the Montreal Jazz Festival, Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, WOMAD, North Sea Jazz Festival and the Calgary Folk Music Festival as well as having headlined numerous SXSW showcases in their career. The band performs frequently, regularly doing over 150 performances a year. Their horn section has also made various appearances on worldwide releases and has recently performed with indie rock band Spoon. Grupo Fantasma's music has been featured in the NYC public-access television cable TV show The Unbelievable Show from 2001 to 2004. The band has garnered over a dozen Austin Music Awards, and an induction into the Austin Music Hall of Fame.

The group's album Sonidos Gold was nominated for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album for the 51st Grammy Awards. Grupo's album El Existential was awarded the Grammy for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album at the 53rd Grammy Awards two years later.

On March 29, 2019, Grupo Fantasma released their seventh full length album, American Music Vol. VII, on Blue Corn Music. The album, with its unique multi-ethnic sound, takes on the intricacies of identity. Even the title itself examines issues of identity and the concept of the "other". In a recent review, NPR described American Music Vol. VII as "a perfectly executed bi-cultural statement, made for the millions of folks who love mariachi as much as James Brown".

Grupo Fantasma’s songs “Chocolate”, “Barretta” and “Perso Fra/Mesquites” were featured in Showtime’s Weeds season 6 premiere episode, which debuted on August 16, 2010, and their cover of the Chicago song "Saturday in the Park" (Sabado en el Parque) was featured on the TV show Breaking Bad.

The Schillerstövare, translated as the Schiller Hound in English, is a breed of dog of the scenthound type, originating as a hunting dog in Sweden in the late 19th century.

Appearance

The Schillerstövare is a medium to large sized running hound for hunting fox and hare, standing  53–61 cm (21-24 ins) at the withers and weighing 18–25 kg (40-55 lbs). The coat is harsh and not too short, lying close to the body. The colour is black and tan, a tan body with a black mantle on the back. The drop ears are broad and not excessively long, and the long tail is carried on a line with the back when running. Faults in the breed (which indicate the dog should not be bred) include items of structure that would impede running, such as obtuse angle between shoulder blade and upper arm and restricted hind movement, along with dish faced and aloofness.

History
The Schillerstövare originated in southern Germany as a mix of Swiss hounds and the Harrier, and is named after a Swedish farmer, Per Schiller (1858–1892), who exhibited the breed at the first Swedish dog show in 1886. The Swedish Kennel Club recognised the breed in 1907. It is recognised internationally by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale as breed number 131. The breed is still used as a hunting dog, and was recognised by the United Kennel Club in the United States in 2006. The breed is also recognized by a number of minor registries, hunting clubs, and Internet-based dog registries.

Health and temperament
No unusual diseases or claims of extraordinary health have been documented for this breed. The breed standard describes the ideal temperament as lively and attentive.

The Gay Marriage Thing is a 2005 documentary film directed by Stephanie Higgins, who attended the Emerson College film school graduate program. The film follows the heated debate over same-sex marriage in Massachusetts in 2004 through the perspective of a lesbian couple who wishes to legally marry, as that state became the first in the U.S. to grant same-sex marriages (although those marriages were not recognized by the federal government).

Location
The film was shot entirely throughout Massachusetts.

Synopsis
The Gay Marriage Thing follows Gayle and Lorre, thirtysomething college sweethearts who marked their 15th anniversary a year after the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled a ban on same-sex marriage stating that it was unconstitutional.

The film includes footage of protests outside the Massachusetts State House, the churches of the Reverends Rich Wiesenbach and Carlton Smith, and the state legislature leading up to May 17, 2004, the first date same-sex couples could file for marriage licenses in Massachusetts.

Interviews
The Gay Marriage Thing includes interviews with United Church of Christ Reverend Richard Wiesenbach, Massachusetts State Representative Kathi-Anne Reinstein, Unitarian Universalist Reverend Carlton Smith, as well as the featured couple and a multitude of man-on-the-street interviews.

Distribution
In 2005 the Cinema Guild released the film on DVD in the United States.

One Foot Under () is a 2009 Finnish film produced by Dionysos Films and directed by Johanna Vuoksenmaa.

Plot
Visa Vuorio (Tobias Zilliacus), a 35-year-old team leader at the Helsinki city gardening department, is suffering from a terminal neurological disease and only has a few months to live. Because of this, he is a member of a therapeutical support group for people suffering from terminal diseases. Visa's life changes when a young female reporter, Hanna Manninen (Helena Vierikko), arrives at the support group offering to write a series of articles about Visa's life story.

While visiting the doctor, Visa hears there's been a mix-up of samples, and he is in fact perfectly healthy. However, he does not want to tell this to either Hanna or his girlfriend Riia (Susanna Mikkonen), as he wants to avoid shocking them, and doesn't want to lose the experience of having an article series written about him. He only confides in his best friend Harri (Jarkko Pajunen), who unknown to him is in love with Riia.

Visa and Hanna travel to Copenhagen together, and they fall in love with each other there, but don't dare to confess it to each other yet. Back in Helsinki, the support group organises a great party, where Visa is invited as a speaker. On stage, he admits being perfectly healthy and confesses his love to Hanna. However, Hanna is shocked by this, and turns him down. Instead, Hanna's ex-boyfriend Ilkka seeks a new relationship with her, and proposes to her in a restaurant in Porvoo. Visa takes desperate measures to stop this, but at the restaurant door, he realises he is in fact sick after all, and passes out on the street.

Visa is taken to a hospital in Helsinki, but he takes the first chance to escape and crash Hanna's and Ilkka's wedding to admit to being sick after all and confess his love to Hanna. He kisses Hanna, and almost immediately, falls dead on the ground.

The Kline Kar was an American automobile built first in York, Pennsylvania, (1910–1912), and then in Richmond, Virginia, (1912–1923). The car was often just referred to as a Kline.

History
James A. Kline moved to York to work on a car that at the time was known as the York, but soon became the Pullman. After leaving that company, he partnered with another former employee, Samuel E. Baily, and with Joseph C. Carrell formed B.C.K. Motor Company. This new firm produced the Kline Kar starting in 1910, in the building owned by Baily for his carriage company.

The new 6-cylinder cars were entered in auto races. There were two dirt track race cars called "Jimmy" and "Jimmy, Jr." after the chief designer and his son. These race cars brought the company nationwide attention.

Richmond, Virginia businessmen noted how well the Kline was selling in their state and moved it to Virginia. In Richmond, they reorganized as the Kline Motor Car Corporation and built a new factory in which to produce the car. This factory was located on the Boulevard, (2910 Arthur Ashe Blvd.). From November 1912, Klines were produced in Richmond, except for the engines brought in from Bath, New York, where the Kirkham Machine Company built them to Kline's design.

The Kline Model 6-50 runabout, which cost $2,585, was advertised as "one of the classiest roadsters brought out for several seasons... for a physician or a young man of fastidious taste."

In 1915, the firm was in receivership, but it survived and two years later was making 1,399 cars in a single year. The Post–World War I recession again weakened the company. The Kline became an assembled car.

From 1920 all Klines came with a 3672cc Continental engine increasing to a 3959cc unit in 1923.  Prices at that time ranged from $1,865 to $2,790. The company closed in early 1924, and James Kline said of his beloved Kline Kar, "I would rather see my children dead than prostituted to cheapness and inferior workmanship.

Richmond businessman and undertaker Alfred Douglas Price owned one and it has been restored.
