MFC Records
Hi Mike, thanks for the help regarding the Middlesbrough FC records. Ive been trying to get hold of some Boro books, but it seems like you have the information first hand! --Cunners 06:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Harry Glasper
Re the rating on the Harry Glasper article. I did not indicate any problems with the article. It is a stub article. It has very little information about the person's life, so from the biography project standpoint, this is a standard rating for such a brief article that only focuses on such a narrow segment of one's life. Please don't take it the wrong way. Also, since you mention that this person is your father, that creates a conflict of interest problem in my view. ludahai 魯大海 13:12, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Chris Doleman

Christopher John Doleman (October 16, 1961 – January 28, 2020) was an American football defensive end who played in the National Football League (NFL). He spent the majority of his career with the Minnesota Vikings, and also played for the Atlanta Falcons and the San Francisco 49ers. Doleman was an eight-time Pro Bowl selection and a twice first-team All-Pro, recording 150.5 career sacks. He is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2012.

Early life
Doleman attended William Penn Senior High School in York, Pennsylvania, and graduated in 1980. He spent a postgraduate year at Valley Forge Military Academy in 1981.

College career
Doleman played football collegiately at the University of Pittsburgh. He was a star linebacker and defensive end for the Pitt Panthers from 1981 to 1984. He ended his career at Pitt with 25 sacks which was good for third all-time at the time of his departure. That total still ranks sixth in the Pitt annals.

Professional career
Doleman was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round (4th overall) of the 1985 NFL draft. He began his NFL career as an outside linebacker (OLB) in the Vikings' 3–4 defense, but for the 1987 season (Doleman's third season) the team decided to switch to a 4–3 defense, which resulted in him being moved from his spot at OLB up to the defensive line to play as a defensive end. The move paid off for Doleman, who recorded 21 sacks in the 1989 season, the highest total recorded that season and the fourth-highest total ever. The 21 sacks in a single season was a Vikings record until Jared Allen recorded 22 sacks in 2011. Doleman later played for the Atlanta Falcons and the San Francisco 49ers before returning to the Vikings in 1999 for his final season.

He was a first-team All-Pro in 1987, 1989 and 1992. He garnered second-team All-Pro selections in 1990 and 1993.

In 2012, Doleman was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Personal life and death
On January 25, 2018, Doleman had brain surgery for a condition which was later diagnosed as glioblastoma. On January 28, 2020, Doleman died from the disease at the age of 58. He was honored prior to kickoff at Super Bowl LIV five days later.

Ripley, Surrey

Ripley is a village and civil parish in Surrey, England. It is centred 6.2 mi southeast of Woking, 6.8 mi northeast of Guildford and 22.5 mi southwest of London. Neighbouring villages Send and Send Marsh to the South-West and Ockham to the East have fewer shopping facilities.

Geography
Lying on the main road from London to Portsmouth (from the 1930s referred to as the A3), Ripley was the post town for the whole area (including Woking) from 1813 to 1865. With the coming of the railway to what was then Woking Common in 1838, Ripley's importance diminished, and Woking became its post town in 1865. As motor traffic increased during the 1960s and the 1970s, the Portsmouth Road at Ripley became a notorious bottleneck, relieved by the building of the Ripley bypass in 1976. The A3 was renamed the B2215, and what has always been a major trunk road was expanded into six lanes north of Guildford, bypassing Send and Ripley.

History
The village has existed since Norman times – the chancel of the church of St. Mary Magdalen shows construction of circa 1160 there and supporting feet of fines and ecclesiastical records mention the village at the time. Ripley's sister village of Send to the south-west was the governing parish over the village for over 700 years until 1878 when they became two separate ecclesiastical parishes; they became separate civil parishes in 1933.

Amenities
The village includes a coaching inn, the Talbot Inn, which dates back to 1453, as well as The Clockhouse (formerly Drake's) restaurant, which has been awarded a Michelin star and 3 AA rosettes. The Anchor, on Ripley High Street, has 2 AA rosettes and is listed as a Michelin Guide Restaurant. The village high street includes two small supermarkets, cobblers and a bakery. The other pubs in the village are the Jovial Sailor on the western outskirts, The Ship Inn, The Seven Stars and The Half Moon.

Ripley has one private school, Ripley Court Preparatory School. The Ripley Church of England primary school is now shut.

Ripley Farmers' Market
Ripley has a monthly Farmers' Market on the second Saturday of each month, from 9am until 1pm. The market consists of, on average, 45 stalls.

Notable buildings
The village church of St Mary Magdalen has a fine Norman chancel and is a Grade II* listed building.

Among the more than 20 listed buildings and cottages in the village are Pinnocks Café the Ship Inn and Ye Old Sweet Shoppe, J Hartley Antiques, Sage Antiques (Green Cottage), the Clock House and the Old Pharmacy. This last building is a historical place of interest with a Blue Plaque located outside commemorating the production of penicillin for the first time in the UK and possibly the world, for civilian use, by Kenneth White in 1944. Cedar House and Tudor House (one joint property) is another listed building,

In popular culture
Ripley is mentioned in H. G. Wells' novels The War of the Worlds and The Wheels of Chance. The Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes short story "The Naval Treaty" includes a setting in Ripley.

Famous residents
Ripley is the birthplace of the rock/blues guitarist Eric Clapton.

Paul Weller is a long-term resident of Ripley and runs local recording studios Black Barn Studios.

Cricket
Cricket has been a popular sport in the village for 200 years and is played on the Green.

Cycling heritage
In the 1870s, cycling also became a popular activity in the South of England and Ripley was a convenient distance from London so that many cyclists would stop there for a break at the Anchor Inn. Sisters Annie and Harriet Dibble encouraged the cyclists so much that, in some years in the following decade, their visitors' book was signed with over 7,000 names.

Cycling routes today
The 2012 Summer Olympics road races started at The Mall in central London, passed Richmond and extended into Surrey to the south via Hampton Court Palace, Weybridge, Byfleet, West Byfleet, Ripley, West Horsley and Dorking then returned to The Mall via Leatherhead, Oxshott, Hampton Court Palace and Kingston-upon-Thames.

Since then the Surrey 100 sportive and race have come through the village each July.

Bonfire
Since the 1930s a bonfire has been held on the Green to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night. It is a major local event with several thousand attending to see the bonfire, fireworks and funfair.

Surrounds
This area has a number of short and long walks. Ripley Green is an integral part of the community and can be accessed from Newark Lane and the High Street. There is a village common and small woods which are surrounded by farmland. Walkers can walk down the River Wey from here and see views of Newark Priory.

Demography and housing
The average level of accommodation in the region composed of detached houses was 28%, the average that was apartments was 22.6%.

The proportion of households in the civil parish who owned their home outright compares to the regional average of 35.1%. The proportion who owned their home with a loan compares to the regional average of 32.5%. The remaining % is made up of rented dwellings (plus a negligible % of households living rent-free).

It is located in the Kathmandu Valley 5 km south-west of the city of Kathmandu. It is one of the five dense municipalities in the valley, the others being Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur and Madhyapur Thimi. It is one of the most famous and religious places to visit. Many people visit this place not only for its natural environment but also to visit temples. The city was listed as a UNESCO tentative site in 2008.

Etymology
The name Kirtipur comes from the Sanskrit terms Kirti (glory) and pur (city) as well as Kirat Kingdom of Yalamber's dynasty. The colloquial term used for the city is Kipoo.

Demographics
At the time of the 2011 Nepal census, Kirtipur Municipality had a population of 67,171. Of these, 53.2% spoke Nepali, 35.2% Newar, 3.8% Tamang, 2.2% Maithili, 1.0% Magar, 0.8% Doteli, 0.7% Tharu, 0.5% Bhojpuri, 0.5% Rai, 0.4% Gurung, 0.3% Limbu, 0.2% English, 0.1% Awadhi, 0.1% Bajjika, 0.1% Bantawa, 0.1% Chamling, 0.1% Hindi, 0.1% Sherpa, 0.1% Urdu and 0.3% other languages as their first language.

Originally a Newar foundation, Kirtipur is still a center of Newar culture. It has been merged with surrounding villages to form the municipality of Kirtipur with a population of 67,171. southern Part of Kirtipur is surrounded by ChampaDevi Hill. On Nepali new Year (Bishak 1) people around kathmandu Valley hike up to the Hill.

It has many temples, gumbas (Buddhist monasteries) and churches.

Due to the presence of Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur is a popular area for out-of-town students and professors to rent houses and they are major contributors to the local economy.

History
Kirtipur's history dates from 1099 A.D. It was part of the territory of Lalitpur at the time of the invasion of the Kathmandu Valley by the Gorkhali king Prithvi Narayan Shah in the 18th century. In 1767, Kirtipur was annexed to the Gorkhali kingdom by Prithvi Narayan Shah following the Battle of Kirtipur. He conquered the town on his third attempt, after entering it by trickery. After this, he cut off the noses of the people (both male and female) over 13 years of age in the city.

This was the site of an inspirational peaceful demonstration of the people in the 2006 mass uprising that overthrew the powers of the king. It is considered to be an anti-monarchy city due to its bitter history against the Shah dynasty whose modern founder conquered the city insultingly, which was followed by negligence of the administration and development by subsequent rulers.

Bagh Bhairab
Bagh Bhairab Temple is one of the most popular temples dedicated to the angry incarnation of lord Shiva in the form of an angry tiger. This god is regarded as the guardian of Kirtipur and the locals call it Ajudeu, a grandfather god. Bhairab, the most terrifying and awful form of Shiva, is the destroyer on one hand and the guardian on the other. Ceremonial rituals in relation to the important events of life such as rice-feeding, puberty, marriage and even the construction of houses cannot be done without propitiating this deity in most of the towns and cities of Nepal.

Bagh Bhairab is mainly worshiped by the Munsi Newars (Man Singh Pradhan). Each of the male family members, on a yearly basis, are supposed to take the chest of Bagh Bhairab turn by turn and keep it in a secret room and worship it twice a day. It is believed that any wrong method applying for worship might curse the individual. Denial for taking the chest home accounts for a fine equivalent to US$2000.

The present three storeyed temple of Bagh Bhairab, probably built in the 16th century, stands in the brick-paved rectangular courtyard with rest houses around it. Some small shrines and stone idols are spread over the courtyard. The main gate is at the southern side of the courtyard. There are two other gates on the eastern and western sides. The two roofs of the temple are made of tiles while the third is covered with gilt copper. Wooden posts with the carving of Hindu gods and goddesses adorn the temple in addition to supporting its roof. They have been installed in between windows of the second storey, and the names of the carved deities have been finely cut out below them on the pedestals.

There are eighteen pinnacles: one on the first roof, six on the middle and eleven on the top. Beneath the eaves of the first roof there are very old but faded murals depicting the stories of Ramayan. Maha Bharat and the various manifestations of Durga, the mighty goddess. These paintings are frescoes in red with white plaster background. At the right side of the main gate of the temple there is Hifa Dyo, the god of blood sacrifice is allowed directly to Bagh Bhairab, all animal offerings here are made to this deity just like the animal sacrifices are made to Kumari, a stone idol, placed at the second gate in the left side of Chandeswori in Banepa and to the Chhetrapal which is at the very beginning of the final series of the steps to the temple of Khadga Jogini in Sankhu.

There are two torans over Hifa Dyo. They bear very fine cuttings of Asta-Matriks, Asta-Bhairabs and other gods and goddesses. In the western wall of the temple there is a hollow space regarded by the local people as Nasa Dyo, the god of music and dance. Bagh Bhairab made of clay has been enshrined in the left side corner in the temple. The three glass-eyed tiger-god is tongue-less and tooth-less but covered with silver and copper plates and heavily ornamented. This deity as mentioned in the stone inscriptions has been called Bagheswor (the tiger god), Bhimsen Bhattarak(Bhimsen, the governing deity), Gudei Sthanadhipati (the lord in the form of tiger) and Ajudyo(the ancestral god).

The local people regard this deity as the embodiment of prudence, knowledge, productivity and strength to resist all evils. Hence, the auspicious ceremonies such as weddings, Bratabandha (rite of passage for adolescent boys), Pasni (rice-feeding) and other ritual performances in Kirtipur are done only after a ceremonial worship to this deity.

Chilancho Stupa
A Buddhist shrine is situated on the southern hill. Chilancho Vihar (monastery) is situated on the eastern side of Kirtipur, Nepal. It was made in the medieval period. An inscription of Nepal Samvat 635 (Licchavi Period) is found in this Chaitya. Therefore, it is one of the most important historical stupas of this region. In Nepal Bhasa, the word Chilan means immortal and the word Cho means Hill. Therefore, its literal meaning is the immortal god situated on the hill. The stupa is about  9.0-10.5 high on a quadrangular base. On all four sides, there are small chaityas. The dome is plastered white.

Uma Maheshwor

Uma Maheshwor temple (locally, Kwacho Dega) is one of the important heritage sites of Kirtipur. This pagoda-style three-storied temple is situated at the highest point (1414 m) of Kirtipur. Since this temple is at the top of the hill, one can enjoy picturesque view of the Kathmandu valley and mountains like Langtang, Dorge Lakkpa, Chobhu Bhamure, and Gaurishankar.

The temple was constructed in 1655 A.D. by Rautra Vishwanath Babu, a son of king Sidhhi Narsinga Malla. It was destroyed in an earthquake in 1832 A.D. After remaining dilapidated for about a century, it was restored in 1933 A.D. after it was again destroyed by an earthquake. Local people and government made a herculean effort to renovate it into the current state. The restoration process was completed only in 1982 A.D. In 2008 some work was done to preserve the arts of temple.

There is an artistic stone gate at the entrance. On each side of the stone staircase leading to the temple is a stone elephant, with sculptures of Bhimsen and Kuber as protectors of the temple. The main deities in this temple are standing Lord Shiva and Parvati. There are other images of deities like Sarasvati and Mahismardini on false doors around temple.

The wooden doors, pillars, and beams are crafted with artistic figures of different gods and goddess such as Astamatrika and Asta Bhairav. Similarly, erotic figures are also carved in wooden beams. According to archeologists, these figures on beams have tantric values.

The bell on the northern side of temple was cast in 1895 by Gillett & Johnston Founders, Corydon. It was one of the four quarter bells of Ghantaghar of the central Kathmandu and was reallocated to this temple after the Ghantaghar was destroyed by the earthquake in 1933.

Nagar Mandap Shri Kirti Bihar
A Theravada Buddhist monastery built in traditional Thai architectural style, is situated near the entrance to the city.

Media
To promote local culture Kirtipur has one FM radio station, Radio Newa F.M. - 106.6 MHz, a community radio station. There are several weekly newspapers published from Kirtipur. They are Shahid weekly, Kirtipur Darpan, Kirtipur Sandesh, and Jwajalapa weekly. There is a local television station, Kirtipur Channel, and some more local channels. To Promote local culture, heritages, events Kirtipur Area has popular Facebook page named Panga, Kirtipur where people can get all the updates of events happened before and happening.

The Wolfhounds

The Wolfhounds are an English noise pop band formed in Romford, Essex, in 1985 by David Callahan, Paul Clark, Andy Golding, Andy Bolton and Frank Stebbing, and originally active until 1990. The band reformed in 2005 and continues to write, record and play live, releasing new albums in 2014, 2016, and 2020.

History
The Wolfhounds began as a slightly askew indie pop/rock band: David Callahan would later describe them as "pretty much a garage band but with a post-punk influence - more like The Fall crossed with The Stooges, with a bit of The Seeds thrown in." Collectively, they'd begun at an early age. Callahan: "We would turn up to gigs and it would feel like everyone there was ten years older than us. Even our first reviews in the music papers were describing us as little kids. We were eighteen. The Kinks were seventeen when they started having hits, but this wasn't what people were used to any more. They were used to people in their twenties and thirties. We were no-hopers who'd just left school and were working in warehouses and shops." Alongside Stebbing’s brother Simon and Bob Manton (both from The Purple Hearts), Clark and Callahan had previously played together in The Changelings, also known as "The Change Lings", who mostly performed classic garage band covers from the Nuggets and Pebbles compilation classics: the band received a single photo review in Sounds and placed one song, recorded on a cassette player, on Hit Records' Garage Goodies Vol. 1 compilation.)

The Wolfhounds signed to the Pink label in 1986. Their first EP Cut the Cake was well enough received for the NME to include them on their C86 compilation album, to which they contributed "Feeling So Strange Again".

In 2022, Callahan recalled "it didn't occur to us to actually record something properly or do our best song. We figured we'd never record "Feeling So Strange Again" otherwise as it wasn't one of our best songs. We'll just throw it away on a tape. Who's interested in a tape?... We already had "The Anti-Midas Touch" and "Me" potentially big singles if we'd had the money behind us. But we were dumb-asses... In the six or so hours we had to record that afternoon, we could have done ("The Anti-Midas Touch") really well and it would have been on a tape that ended up selling tens of thousands." In spite of this, the band saw an abrupt and substantial spike in the number of people coming to their shows, and went on to play the C86 gig at the ICA, at which they went down very well.

After two more singles and a debut album, Unseen Ripples from a Pebble, on Pink, they briefly moved to Idea Records for the Me single, then rejoined Pink's boss at his new label September Records. September soon evolved into Midnight Music which was the Wolfhounds' home for all subsequent releases.

Callahan has commented "as soon as we got attention, there was some panic in the band, with a couple of members thinking that we needed to be more commercial. It seemed ridiculous to me - we didn't have the chops for that. But we were a democracy, so that's how it went for a while."

With original members Bolton and Clark replaced by David Oliver and Matt Deighton, the Wolfhounds' sound developed into a denser, less poppy sound. After a compilation of earlier material, second album proper Bright and Guilty was released in 1989, featuring the singles "Son of Nothing", "Rent Act" and "Happy Shopper". The sound progressed further with the albums Blown Away (also 1989) and Attitude (1990), which found them in Sonic Youth territory, interspersing raging guitars with elegant compositional exercises. This proved to be the final Wolfhounds release of the 80s, with the band splitting in early 1990.

Callahan has commented "we put out three really good albums in the space of fifteen months that sounded like no-one else, and we even started to look good, but no-one gave a shit... People would say "if this band was from Boston, they'd be massive" and this kind of thing, but no-one was paying attention... We'd been through four labels in five years and it just wasn't happening. We weren't getting any more chances. We'd reached rock bottom. There was no way out."

Golding and Stebbing formed Crawl, while Callahan joined forces with former Ultra Vivid Scene member Margaret Fiedler in Moonshake. Matt Deighton formed Mother Earth.

Reformation
Over the years, Callahan had received offers to perform with or be interviewed about The Wolfhounds, but by that time had established himself as a freelance ornithologist and had no interest in revisiting his musical past. However, he was finally convinced into reforming The Wolfhounds in 2006 for a gig organised by Bob Stanley of Saint Etienne to play at the ICA in London, alongside Roddy Frame and Phil Wilson, to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the C86 cassette.

Callahan: "We started playing together and it actually worked. I won't say it was like the old days. It was better... it seemed like something we should continue with because it felt like a creative enterprise immediately." This event proved to be a turnaround in Callahan's attitudes: "I said yes, and it had worked. So I made a decision to say yes to everything, regardless of whether I had the time or not. And I've done that ever since."

With an ongoing line-up of David Callahan (guitar/vocals), Andy Golding (guitar/vocals), Peter Wilkins (drums) and Richard Golding (bass), the reunited Wolfhounds have continued to play live, having been further re-energised when The Membranes asked them to be special guests at The Lexington in London. In March 2012 they played with Laetitia Sadier from Stereolab in support at a benefit to raise funds for the Timperley Frank Sidebottom memorial statue. An EP called EP001 was released on Vollwert-Records Berlin in April 2012 containing three songs that pre-date the band's first single but that were never recorded satisfactorily at the time. Of these songs, 'Skullface' has picked up a lot of radio play.

The band released several 7" singles in 2013, compiled with the previous EP on Middle Age Freaks, released by Odd Box Records in 2014. Also in 2014 an anniversary limited-edition issue of Unseen Ripples from a Pebble (plus bonus tracks) was released by Optic Nerve Recordings.

In October 2016, the Wolfhounds released their fifth album proper, Untied Kingdom (...Or How to Come to Terms with Your Culture). Louder Than War rated it 9/10. Sixth album Electric Music followed in 2020, which the same magazine declared was "arguably their best" so far.

The Wolfhounds' ongoing ethos is to play as a current creative act rather than an exercise in indie nostalgia. Callahan: "We do occasionally throw an old song into the set, like "The Anti-Midas Touch", but rather like a band like The Nightingales, we go around playing songs from our latest LP... That's what it's always been like for us. I was always inspired by the attitude of The Fall, where you'd go to see them promoting Dragnet but they'd already be playing Grotesque. Or Wire would play 154 when Chairs Missing had only just come out. I'm not ashamed of what I've done in the past, and I'll reflect on it and incorporate bits of it. But I'm always looking forward. I want to die with lots of unfinished work sitting there, waiting to be dealt with."

Solo
Callahan, as David Lance Callahan, released a solo single "Strange Lovers" in 2019, followed by the album English Primitive I in 2021. Andy Golding, as Dragon Welding, released an eponymous LP in 2019, and second album Lights Behind The Eyes in 2021.

Hi there!

Your valued postings would look much better with some basic editing. Have a look at your latest two. Jeff Knaggs 08:51, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hello
Hi, thanks for contributing good articles on Nepal. But it would be nice, if you wikify them as well. Have a look at your articles that have been wikified by others - Pasang Lhamu Sherpa, Balbhadra Kunwar, Bhimsen Thapa, Amar Singh Thapa.

I would highly recommend you to read How to edit a page.

Some of your articles have been listed on Votes for deletion page Rishiris doctrine, Tribhuvan University (because they are not notable enough for Wikipedia).

Wikifying articles
Hello. I have edited some of your articles to make them look nicer, see for example Mahakali river and Palpa. But I couldn't properly understand these two articles: Bhakti Thapa and Araniko. Therefore I couldn't make any improvements to them. Could you please go back to them and add more information? I'm afraid they are hard to understand for people not acquainted with the history and culture of Nepal. Also, here's a tip: don't start every line in an article with a #, because this automatically generates a numbered list. Thanks, and have fun editing! JoaoRicardo 00:31, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Royal Pharmaceutical Society

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPharmS or RPS) is the body responsible for the leadership and support of the pharmacy profession (pharmacists) within England, Scotland, and Wales. It was created along with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) in September 2010 when the previous Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain was split so that representative and regulatory functions of the pharmacy profession could be separated. Membership in the society is not a prerequisite for engaging in practice as a pharmacist within the United Kingdom. Its predecessor the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain was founded on 15 April 1841.

History
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society was founded on 15 April 1841 as the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, and headquartered at 17 Bloomsbury Square, London. Among its founding members were Jacob Bell and William Allen. The Northern British (Scottish) branch began the same year with nine founders including William Flockhart and John Duncan. From 1843, it had a royal charter that identified its chief objectives as the advancement of chemistry and pharmacy, the promotion of a system of education for its practitioners, and the legal protection of its members.

Headquarters
The headquarters of the society are on East Smithfield Road, located near Whitechapel and St Katharine Docks in London, UK. From 1976 until 2015 the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's headquarters was in Lambeth on Lambeth High Street, London, UK.

Membership
The Society currently offers five categories of membership:
 * Member: Full membership is available to anyone who has ever been registered as a pharmacist in Great Britain, whether or not currently registered with the GPhC.
 * Fellow: Fellowship may be conferred by the Society’s Panel of Fellows on pharmacists who have been members of the Society for at least 12 years and who have been deemed to have made outstanding original contributions.
 * Associate: Associate membership is open to two categories of person: (a) those registered elsewhere in the world who have never been registered in Britain; (b) those who have a recognized degree in pharmacy but have not yet registered as a pharmacist in Britain, either because they are still undergoing their preregistration trainings or because they are not working in a field of practice that requires registration with the GPhC.
 * Student: Student membership is available to anyone studying for a degree in pharmacy at any institute recognized by the Society (in Britain or overseas).
 * Pharmaceutical Scientist: Pharmacist scientist membership is available to anyone with a degree (or equivalent) in a subject related to the pharmacy who has worked for at least two years in a recognized area of the pharmaceutical sciences.

President of the society

 * 2021 Claire Anderson
 * 2019 Sandra Gidley
 * 2017 – 2019  Ash Soni
 * 2016 – 2017 Martin Astbury
 * 2014 – 2016  Ash Soni

Publishing
The Society operates two divisions of RPS Publishing:
 * The Pharmaceutical Press publishes textbooks on a wide range of topics in pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences including the British National Formulary, the British National Formulary for Children and Martindale: The complete drug reference.
 * PJ Publications publishes the weekly professional journal The Pharmaceutical Journal and the monthly Clinical Pharmacist.

Royal Pharmaceutical Society Museum
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain had a museum collection since 1842, which continues to be managed by the RPS at its offices in East Smithfield. The exhibits cover all aspects of British pharmacy history, and include:

 * Traditional dispensing equipment
 * Drug storage containers
 * Fine "Lambeth delftware" dating from the 17th and 18th centuries
 * Proprietary (brand name) medicines dating from the 18th century to the present day
 * Bronze mortars
 * Medical caricatures
 * A photo archive

Since 2002, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society has concentrated on developing the collection of historical and contemporary proprietary medicines.

The museum is open to visitors and admission is free. Guided tours are available if booked in advance. In 1983 the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain donated over 10,000 historic specimens of materia medica, including crude drugs, herbarium sheets, and slides to the Kew Gardens. This material is now housed in the Economic Botany Collection (EBC) at Kew. The museum is a member of the London Museums of Health & Medicine.

Prizes and awards
The RPS has six academic and professional awards for pharmacists at different stages of their career. These are:

 * The Hanbury Medal
 * The Harrison Medal
 * Outstanding Pharmacy Early-career Researcher Award
 * RPS Charter Medals
 * RPS Fellowship and Honorary Fellowship
 * The Daniel Thomas Award

National Pharmacy Boards
The three boards provide professional leadership and advocacy support for pharmacy practice in England, Scotland and Wales respectively. They are currently Chaired by Thorrun Govind, Andrew Carruthers and Cheryl Way respectively. The members of the boards are elected by the members of the society, but the members of the assembly are not. The members of the assembly are elected by members of the boards. The assembly is senior to the boards in terms of policy making.

Chinju National University of Education

Chinju (Jinju) National University of Education is one of several national universities of education in South Korea. It provides training to many planning on careers in the country's public education system. The campus is located in Jinju City, South Gyeongsang province. The current president is Kim, Sung-gyu (김성규).

Academics
At the undergraduate level, the course of study is divided between general academics and study specific to teaching. The academic departments cover most of the recognized specializations of public-school teaching, namely: Computer Education, English Education, Elementary Education, Practical Arts Education, Fine Arts Education, Music Education, Physical Education, Science Education, Mathematics Education, Social Studies Education, Korean Education, and Ethics Education. Unlike other shifts where most timetables in Korea have already been set and cannot register for classes, Chinju (Jinju) National University of Education is free to register for classes from the first grade.

History
The main school was approved as a public school in Gyeongsangnam-do on March 31, 1923 and opened on April 24. In addition, in 1940, according to the policy of converting a public school into a government office, it was reorganized into a government-run Jinju School of Education on April 1. At that time, the main school was located at Jinju Agricultural School (currently Gyeongsang National University Chilam Campus) and has been in existence since it was moved to its current location in 1942. In 1961, a bill was enacted to train elementary school teachers at the level of beginner universities, and the opening ceremony and admission ceremony were held on March 8 in accordance with the establishment of Jinju Education University (Revised Ordinance No. 1133). In accordance with Article 120 of the 1983 Education Act and Paragraph 2 of the Supplementary Provisions of the same Act, this school was promoted to a four-year education university. In 1993, the name was changed from Jinju National University of Education to Jinju National University of Education in accordance with the National School Establishment Decree (Presidential Decree No. 13859) and it is still called the official name of the school to this day. The current local name is Jinju, but the name of the school is CNUE(Chinju National University of Education) because Jinju was written Chinju in the past, influenced by Revised Romanization of Korean(RRK). In the 2000s, various facilities were newly built, including the auditorium (2002), the second dormitory (2004), the affiliated elementary school multipurpose auditorium and swimming education center (2005), and the teacher education center (2007). The first lecture building, which is most frequently used by the members of the school, was newly built in 2011. Following Dr. Information-ju, the 5th president in 2007, Dr. Kim Sun-yu, the 6th president in 2011, and Dr. Choi Moon-sung, the 7th president in 2016, the 8th president Yoo Gil-han, who has been in office since 2020, marks a historic 100th anniversary.

Mascot 'CUE-T'
Jinju National University of Education (hereinafter referred to as Jinju National University of Education) has produced and released an emblem, mascot, and catchphrase to celebrate the 100th anniversary. The unveiled emblem is a design that emphasizes the 100th anniversary based on orange, the symbolic color of Jinju National University of Education, where the number 1 means torch and the number 00 connects the two to indicate infinity. Although it is now the 100th anniversary, it expresses social growth and the future creation of education through education that will continue forever. The catchphrase was selected through a contest to represent the meaning and values of the 100th anniversary of the opening of Jinju National University of Education in a core and implicative way and to show the vision of the future. The best catchphrase is "100 Years of Roots, Dream of Future Education!" It contains the meanings of realizing future educational dreams at Jinju National University of Education with a deep history of 100 years and the specific meanings of specialization (D), recovery (R), empathy (E), attitude (A), and change (M). The new mascot is a motif of a deer, a professor of Jinju National University of Education, and the horn of the deer represents CUE, an abbreviation for alternating school, and the character name is CUE-T, which combines CUE and Teacher of Jinju National University of Education. Deer is an animal with the character of a strong and strong in history, which well implies the role and value of Jinju University of Education as a teacher training university with the right personality and activity, and will be expressed in various promotional materials by adding familiar images.

Old East Slavic literature

Old East Slavic literature, also known as Old Russian literature, is a collection of literary works of Rus' authors, which includes all the works of ancient Rus' theologians, historians, philosophers, translators, etc., and written in Old East Slavic. It is a general term that unites the common literary heritage of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine of the ancient period. In terms of genre construction, it has a number of differences from medieval European literature. The greatest influence on the literature of ancient Rus' was exerted by old Polish and old Serbian literature.

Most of the monuments of Old East Slavic literature have been preserved in the form of manuscripts. The most common type of manuscript was literary collections. Notebooks written by a single scribe could then be bound by the scribe or binder himself. Such collections can be of a certain ("Zlatostruy", "Izmaragd", "Solemn", etc.) or indefinite content, reflecting the individual tastes and interests of one or another scribe who selected materials for himself or for his customer.

Unlike other traditionalist literatures, the Old East Slavic literature is characterized by syncretism, lack of clearly expressed poetological reflection, conscious rejection of rationalism and specification of theoretical knowledge. It differs from Byzantine literature by its emphasized irregularity, the blurring of genres and boundaries between the prosaic and the poetic, and the lack of a clear conceptual apparatus.

Voluminous works could be copied and intertwined into separate books: some letopises, works on world history, paterics, works of a liturgical nature, prologues, etc. Small compositions, for example, "Praying of Daniel the Immured" or the Tale of the Destruction of the Rus' Land did not make up separate books, but were distributed in collections.

Pre-Christian period
The early examples of pre-Christian Old East Slavic Rus' literature should primarily include the oral epic: legends, myths and fairy tales. Most of the Old East Slavic oral folklore was recorded only in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Among the oral works, stories about the meeting of a person with an otherworldly force were particularly distinguished. Such a story by genre was divided into a bailichka, where a meeting with evil spirits is told on behalf of an "eyewitness", and a byvalschina, an oral story about a case that allegedly took place in reality, without focusing on the personal testimony of the narrator. Bailichka and byvalschina were often told in the villages to friends or children in order to wean them to walk far from home, and, according to Yevgeny Meletinsky, they became the prototype of "scary fairy tales".

Later, a special type of druzhina poetry began to take shape – bylina, Rus' epic poems about heroic or mythological events or remarkable episodes of national history. In some ways, bylina are similar to skaldic poetry: both are divided into songs of praise and blasphemy and glorify some historical event. Bylina, as a rule, are written in tonic verse with two or four accents.

Early period: translated Apocrypha
Almost all the literature of Rus' – original and translated – was handwritten. Handwritten works were distributed by copying by scribes or ordinary people.

In Rus', the apocrypha about the Last Judgment was especially popular. Among such works, a special place was occupied by the life of Basil the Younger, the second part of which (scenes from the vision of Vasily Gregory's pupil about the Last Judgment and a lengthy story about Theodore) spread as independent works.

Later, the original Old East Slavic apocrypha began to be created, the most famous of which is "The Walking of the Virgin through the Torments". Its plot is similar to the Greek "Revelation of the Most Holy Theotokos", but it also has many original features: for example, pagans who worship Troyan (god), Veles and Perun are in the first circle of hell, and there are a number of anti-Semitic statements in the text itself.

According to the philosopher Sergei Bulgakov, the special popularity of apocryphal literature in Rus' is indicated by the fact that of the seven most important monuments of the Jewish apocalyptic (except for the books of the prophet Daniel), three were preserved exclusively in Old Slavonic translations.

Early original compositions
Presumably, both epics and folk tales were not recorded by contemporaries for the reason that Rus' inherited from the Byzantine Empire a ban on literary fiction and the presence of a purely artistic function in the works. Back in 1073, the compilers of the Izbornik Svyatoslav warned against worldly writings based on artistic imagination. Fiction developed only in the late period. However, despite some limitations, scientific and artistic works had to answer questions related to natural history (the origin of the world, cosmology) and the development of human society (the settlement of peoples, the origin of power, the state, the meaning and purpose of human history).

The first original works in Kievan Rus' were instructive collections, which are the most common type of manuscripts (even after the beginning of printing in Russia in 1569, manuscripts have not lost their popularity). The scribe copied various works according to some attribute or genre in a notebook. Notebooks written by one scribe could then be bound by the scribe himself or the bookbinder into a separate book. The bookbinder could collect notebooks of different times and different scribes and connect them because they were of the same format or were combined by them according to content. Such collections are currently called convolutes. Such collections of teachings as Izmaragd, Golden Chain, Bee, Palea, Solemn, Zlatostruy (origins), Pchela (of Byzantine origin) were originally intended for home and cell reading. Of these, the most interesting is Palea (also Explanatory Palea), which is a collection of several interconnected ancient Rus' works that set out Old Testament history with additions from apocryphal monuments, as well as with theological reasoning.

Already in the early period of the development of Rus' literature, one can trace the understanding of Rus' not only as an ethno-political and religious community, but also as the Kingdom of Christ. In the Sermon on Law and Grace of the middle of the 11th century (the future Metropolitan Hilarion), the newly baptized Rus' people are called new. The perception of the people who were baptized in the "last times" (before the Last Judgment) as new, endowed with special grace, was characteristic of Rus'. The widespread idea of an imminent dreadful judgment was strongly reflected in the Old East Slavic literature of that period; ascetic creations and instructive literature became an introduction to soteriology (the doctrine of the salvation of the soul).

Genres
As most modern researchers note, there is no clear division of literature into genres in ancient Rus'. There were only a few authors who clearly defined the genre of their works (among such were the monk Phoma, Nil Sorsky, Metropolitan Macarius, and the nameless author of "The Tale of Mikhail Tverskoy"). Thus, the lexeme Word (Слово, also translatable as Tale, Lay or Discourse), often perceived as the name of a genre, could mean a didactic teaching, a chapter of a book, a conversation, a speech, articles of various content, etc.

Nevertheless, Nikita Tolstoy made an attempt to classify ancient Rus' literature; later, the classification was edited by Evgeny Vereshchagin (the latter version is somewhat different from Tolstoy's):
 * scriptural monuments: the Bible (Holy Scripture) and biblical apocrypha, see Bible translations into Church Slavonic
 * liturgical/euchographic: liturgical books and hymnographic monuments
 * doctrinal: symbols, statements of faith, catechumens, polemical and ethical instructive teachings, interpretations
 * preaching: oratory prose and gnostic literature
 * hagiographic: lives of saints, laudatory words to saints, tales of acquisitions, transfer of relics and icons, miracles
 * canonical and legal: statutes, Kormchaia Books, law books (Kievan Rus' law), contractual, spiritual, deeds, etc. letters
 * memorial: letopises (including Rus' chronicles and Lithuanian–Belarusian chronicles), chronographs, descriptions of historical events, pilgrimages, travels
 * scientific: encyclopedic collections
 * household: private correspondence, inscriptions, epigraphy.

This classification does not distinguish between primary genres (for example, hagiographies) and unifying genres that include small works as source material (prologue, menaiat-chets, etc.). This difference is taken into account in the classification based on the systematics of Dmitry Likhachev, who distinguished between monumental and small genre forms. Nikolai Prokofiev gave the following classification: The most important feature of epic genres is the object of the image and lyrical purpose.
 * complex forms: letopises, chronographs, hagiographic collections, letters, etc.
 * primary genres:
 * epic genres
 * historical genres: lives of the saints, military tale, legend and walking
 * allegorical: parables
 * symbolic: miracle, vision, sign, divinatory literature
 * lyrical genres: teaching, message, crying.

Mathematical-Easter essays

In the early period after the Christianization of Kievan Rus', there was no special church calendar, and the Old Slavic calendar was not suitable for calculating church holidays. Therefore, many authors had to make their own calculations in their works, which ranked their works among not only Paschal, but also mathematical treatises. For complex calculations, schoty was often used.

The earliest mathematical work of Kievan Rus' is considered to be "the doctrine of numbers" by Kirik the Novgorodian, a treatise on the calculus of time, combining an essay on mathematics, chronology and Paschalistics.

However, later mathematical treatises did not receive a proper development in Kievan Rus'. Among the works equal to the "doctrine of numbers", scientists include the "Charter of military Affairs" created in the 15th and 16th centuries, which set out the tasks of triangulation on the ground, and the "Book of soshny writing", dedicated to land surveying. Later works include an extensive manuscript entitled "Synodal No. 42", the first textbook in Rus' on theoretical geometry.

Cosmology works
The early cosmological works of Kievan Rus' were partially influenced by apocryphal writings, mixed with pre-Christian ideas about the structure of the world.

Thus, much attention is paid to the creation and structure of the world in two of the most significant early works: the Dove Book and "About the whole creation". Both works have a complex structure and are probably based on Old East Slavic apocryphal legends that existed for the early period after the Christianization of Kievan Rus'.

It is also interesting that in the "Depth Book", as in two other ancient Rus' monuments – "The Conversation of the Three Saints" and "The Conversation of Jerusalem" – for some reason, whales are endowed with supernatural power. In the "Conversation of the Three Saints", the Earth floats on top of the great sea on three large whales and 30 small whales; the latter cover 30 sea windows; "The Conversation of Jerusalem" and "Depth Book" connect the movement of the whale with the end of the world. According to the "Depth Book" — "The Whale-fish is the mother of all fish. On the Whale-fish the earth is founded; when the Whale-fish turns, then our white light is finished (the end of all things will come)".

The so-called "fortune-telling books" (also "divinatory books") can probably also be attributed to cosmological works, which are currently not officially assigned to any of the genres of Kievan Rus'. Fortune-telling books (Volkhovnik, Gromnik, Kolyadnik, Trepetnik, Enchanter, etc.) were mainly distributed secretly: they were copied, sewn into other books, and passed on by inheritance. Officially, the distribution of such literature was persecuted by the church; lists of forbidden (so-called renounced) books of Kievan Rus' were compiled, in which divinatory literature was equated with apocrypha.

Theological literature
Very popular in ancient Rus' were the lives of saints (zhytie), a kind of genre of hagiography that describes the life, deeds and miracles of ancient Rus' saints, martyrs and miracle workers.

Poetics
The scientist Alexander Panchenko refers to the earliest forms of Old East Slavic versification as the so-called "penitential poems" (the metrical nature of which is not yet clear), single poetic texts written by the monk of the Kirillo-Belozersky monastery Efrosin, as well as separate chapters The Tale of Igor's Campaign and the Tale of the Destruction of the Rus' Land containing a metric constant.

Despite this, versification in Kievan Rus' was most often not approved, because was considered inherent only in "Latins". This position was most consistently expressed by Archpriest Avvakum: “Do not look for rhetoric and philosophy, or eloquence, but live with a sound true verb. Therefore, а rhetorician and philosopher cannot be a Christian. Alexander Panchenko pointed out that the Old East Slavic church poetry was strongly influenced by West Slavic, especially Polish literature. Simeon Polotsky, releasing his "Rhymed Psalter" (1680), wrote that in Moscow they loved "the consonant singing of the Polish Psalter".

Syllabic verse
Some of the earliest representatives of Old East Slavic syllabic poetry are such poets as Karion Istomin, Simeon of Polotsk, Theophan Prokopovich, Antiochus Kantemir, Sylvester Medvedev and Mardary Khonykov. The principle of syllabic symmetry was dominant. A twelve-syllable verse with a caesura after the fifth or sixth syllable was used; there are, for example, such complex schemes as: 5-6-8|8-6-5|7-7-4-5-3-5 (12 verses of Irmos "Земьнъ къто слыша таковая"...) or 8|5-5-5|8-8|5-5-5 (9 verses of Irmos "Вьсъ еси желание"...) There were also schemes where the number of syllables in each verse was a multiple of three (from St. Trinity, the sacred number "three" for Christians).

The detailed life in the monastery can be judged by the syllabic poem by Karion Istomin "About speaking from people, how monks live in the monastery": "Мънози глаголют, что монахи деют,

 * где в монастыре дела не имеют.

Бутто так сидят, ничего не знают,

 * како ли Богу честь, поклон взношают.

Надобно кому себе искусити

 * и в монастыре хоть время прожити.

Узнает, как кто в кельи пребывает,

 * како помыслы, страсти отвергеет..."

(Many say that the monks do, where in the monastery they idle. As if they are sitting like that, they do not know anything, only honor and bow to God.)

Acrostics
The acrostic form became very popular in Ancient Rus' poetics. It was also widely developed there. The earliest work in the genre of acrostic in ancient Russia is considered to be the Azbuchna Prayer, translated from Old Bulgarian. The acrostic in the Old East Slavic book poetry was also known in later times. Thus, the acrostic is found in one of the "greetings" of Karion Istomin to Tsarevich Alexey Petrovich:

"Аминь буди слава,

Любовь чиста, права

Единому Богу,

К себе в слогах многу.

Исраиль нелестный,

Избранный и честный

Царев сын, царевичь

Алексий Петровичь,

Радуйся блаженно,

Емли жизнь спасенно,

В Господе изрядствуй,

Излестно отрадствуй,

Человеком в ползе,

В златых летах долзе.

Езди умне в книгах,

Чти мудрость в веригах:

Ности она златы,

Общит в любовь браты.

Жити с нею благо,

Имство всем предраго.

Взрасти тя Бог в славе,

Имети ю здраве!"

Here the acrostic is "Alexy Tsarevich live forever" (Алексий царевич вечно живи; in the fourth verse in the original, the first letter is the Slavic "xi").

Kievan Rus' law, documentation
In Kievan Rus', there were a number of canonical and legal statutes and rights. The special charters, judicial books, contractual, spiritual certificates and contribution certificates were common for the people and for the church. Most collections of Kievan Rus' law are strictly divided into civil and ecclesiastical. The exception is the Merilo Pravednoye, which is both a collection of church-canonical and civil legal legal nature.

Temporal law
The legal basis of the Kievan Rus' state was the Russkaya Pravda, Lithuanian statutes and Moscow Sidebniks. In 1649, the Sobornoye Ulozheniye was added to these written laws.

The so-called Russkaya Pravda ("Rus' Justice") is of great importance for the study of Kievan Rus' law. The Russkaya Pravda is a collection of legal norms of Rus', dated from various years, starting from 1016, the oldest Rus' legal code. The Russkaya Pravda contains the norms of criminal, compulsory, hereditary, family and procedural law. It is the main source for studying the legal, social and economic relations of Kievan Rus'. The Russkaya Pravda is similar to earlier European legal collections, such as Germanic law (the so-called Leges Barbarorum, "laws of the barbarians"), for example, the Salic law, a collection of legislative acts of the Frankish state, the oldest text of which dates back to the beginning of the 6th century.

The short version consists of the following parts:
 * The Oldest Pravda or the truth of Yaroslav (Articles 1-18), 1016, is usually associated with the activities of Yaroslav the Wise;
 * The Pravda of the Yaroslavichs (Izyaslav, Vsevolod and Svyatoslav, sons of Yaroslav the Wise, who were part of the Yaroslavich triumvirate) (articles 19–41), the youngest of the three princes Vsevolod is named before the middle Svyatoslav), does not have an exact date, often refers to 1072;
 * Pokon virny (Article 42) – determination of the order of "feeding" of virniks (princely servants, collectors of vir-court fines), 1020s or 1030s;
 * Urok to mostniks (Article 43) – regulation of the remuneration of bridge builders, or, according to some versions, bridge builders, 1020s or 1030s.

As many researchers have noted, the most ancient part of the Russkaya Pravda (the oldest pravda) preserves the custom of blood feud, characteristic of the laws of pre-Christian Kievan Rus', although it limits it to the circle of closest relatives. The lengthy version includes about 121 articles and consists of two parts-the Charter of Yaroslav Vladimirovich and the Charter of Vladimir Vsevolodovich Monomakh. According to most researchers, the Lengthy Truth is based on the Short text, which was amended and supplemented, including those adopted during the Kiev reign of Vladimir II Monomakh.

Ecclesiastical law
With the Christianization of Kievan Rus', church law arose. The most important source of church law in Kievan Rus' was the sudebniki, the most famous of which is the Zakon Sudnyi Liudem (the South Slavic legal Code of the 9th and 10th centuries, although some scholars consider it a reworking of some Byzantine and Jewish laws). However, most often in the ecclesiastical sphere of Kievan Rus', they used kormchaia books, legal collections that contained both church rules and the decisions of the Roman and Byzantine emperors on the church.

From the translated Byzantine collections of ecclesiastical law in Kievan Rus', nomocanons, Ekloge ton nomon, Proheiron, and Zanon books (translation of Byzantine laws) were used. However, despite the widespread existence in the written tradition, Byzantine law did not have a significant application in legal practice, and its full reception did not occur. Rus' ecclesiastical law was based primarily on the ecclesiastical statutes issued by the knyazes, based on local law and only limited borrowing of Byzantine law.

Later, in 1551, the comprehensive religious collection Stoglav was created, combining the norms of judicial, criminal and ecclesiastical law. Stoglav tried to solve the following pressing issues:
 * strengthening of church discipline among the clergy and the fight against the vicious behavior of representatives of the church (drunkenness, debauchery, bribery), usury of monasteries,
 * unification of church rites and services,
 * powers of the ecclesiastical court,
 * combating the remnants of paganism among the population,
 * strict regulation (and, in essence, the introduction of a kind of spiritual censorship) of the order of correspondence of church books, the writing of icons, the construction of Russian Orthodox Church buildings, etc.

"Books of law" and "Merilo Pravednoye", one of the first Kievan Rus' collections of a civil and ecclesiastical-legal nature, contain both excerpts from Byzantine legislation and identical articles of Rus' origin, probably included in collections from an older one that did not come down to us of the collection of Kievan Rus' law.

Townsville Crocodiles

The Townsville Crocodiles were an Australian professional men's basketball team based in the North Queensland city of Townsville. They competed in the National Basketball League (NBL) and played their home games at the Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre. Between their inception in 1993 and their final season in 2015–16, the Crocodiles enjoyed financial stability and sustained community support, but on-court success eluded them.

1986–1992: Gaining admission into the NBL
Former Brisbane Bullets guard Mark Bragg, a Townsville resident, began campaigning to bring an NBL franchise to Townsville in the late 1980s. The franchise adopted the name of Townsville's State League team, becoming the Townsville Suns. The NBL was ready to admit the Suns, along with fellow Queenslanders the Gold Coast Cougars, in 1990, but financial backing for the Suns' venue fell through.

Local government then got behind Bragg's bid, and the Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre was completed in time for the Suns' debut in February 1993.

1993–1998: Early years
With Bragg at the helm as head coach, the Suns struggled during their debut season, but it only took five games before they recorded their first-ever NBL win, a victory over the Newcastle Falcons. Townsville broke the mould in 1993, becoming the first Australian team to hire an 'import' player from a country other than the United States; Lithuanian player Rimas Kurtinaitis was a crucial part of the team during their debut season. The Suns finished 4–22 and took the wooden spoon.

Townsville would not reach the playoffs in its first six seasons, although they came perilously close in the 1997 season; needing only one win from their final six games to ensure a historic playoff appearance, the Suns went 0–6 after centre Clarence Tyson suffered a season-ending knee injury in Canberra. After a disappointing 1998 campaign, Mark Bragg was sacked as head coach. With 151 games played out of the Suns' 164, Jason Cameron was the only player to have played in all six Suns seasons.

Throughout, Townsville fans stuck by the team, ensuring the club set an Australian record for attendances; the Suns sold out their first 69 games at the "Furnace" (capacity 4,141), a streak that was only broken after the venue was expanded for the 1998 season.

1998–2001: Name change and finals basketball
It was a very different team that took the court in the 1998/99 season. The team had been involved in a dispute with the NBA's Phoenix Suns, who held the "Suns" trademark in Australia. Faced with the prospect of paying Phoenix royalties on merchandise sales, the team changed its name to the Townsville Crocodiles. New head coach Ian Stacker took the reins, and immediately attracted top-name talent like Australian Olympic player Sam Mackinnon, but it would take one more season before Townsville's long-suffering fans saw playoff basketball.

The Crocodiles finished second in the NBL in 1999/2000 with a 22–6 record, meaning they got a first-round bye in the NBL playoffs. But they faced a battle-hardened Perth Wildcats team in the semi-finals, and were defeated 2–1 in front of their disappointed home fans. Perth would go on to win the championship.

The Crocs again went 22–6 the following year and, under the league's new playoff system, eliminated both the Sydney Kings and the Victoria Titans. It came down to the grand final series, where the team lost 2 games to 1- 95–92 in the final game- after a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback by the Wollongong Hawks.

2002–2006: Missed opportunities
Townsville missed the playoffs in 2002 and the 2003 season looked no better, but the Crocodiles strung together a 16-game winning streak to again finish second on the NBL ladder. (The streak equaled an NBL record.) Townsville lost the opening-round series 2–1 to Wollongong, but by virtue of NBL rules, got a second chance to advance; they were then finally eliminated by the eventual champion Sydney Kings.

After another disappointing season in 2005–06, Townsville head coach Ian Stacker's contract was not renewed. The Crocodiles again failed to make the playoffs.

Trevor Gleeson was appointed coach and the team improved on their failed 2005–06 season by making the play-offs. They won their first final against one of the newcomers in the Singapore Slingers but lost their second to the Sydney Kings.

2006–2009: Return to finals
2007–08 saw the Crocs struggle in their first ten games, only winning three matches. Before the season, the team was struggling with injuries to both 7-foot centre's Ben Pepper (back) and Greg Vanderjagt (knee) along with swingman Bradley Sheridan (back). The team ended up losing newly signed import Rosell Ellis who suffered a freak of an injury when he tore his pectoral muscle during a weight session just after two matches. In those two matches saw Ellis get 27 points and 11 rebounds in both matches. The Crocs then brought in streetball legend Corey 'Homicide' Wiliams which saw the Crocs turn back into a strong team. With also help from the crocs bench saw them finish the season in fifth place with a record of 17–13. But just like the 2006–07 season, saw the crocs win their first game against another newcomer Gold Coast Blaze but were once again saw them smashed by the team who finished one win higher than the Crocs in the Perth Wildcats 96–78.

The crocs have now made a push to make it to the top four in the 2008–09 season when they re-signed imports Williams and Ellis and also signings Brad Williamson and Steven Broom from the Brisbane Bullets and former Boomer Russell Hinder.

The 2008/09 season saw them struggle to have a full roster with Bradley Sheridan (ankles), Ben Pepper (personal reasons) and Steven Broom (shoulder) leaving the club before the season had even began. The local fans were able to rally behind the club to finish 5th. The Crocs were unable to make the grand final series as they were knocked out by eventual champions South Dragons.

2013–2016: Financial troubles and disbandment
On 8 April 2013, the Crocodiles announced that Barrier Reef Basketball Pty Ltd was relinquishing its National Basketball League license, putting the Crocodiles' 2013–14 season in doubt. In September 2013, the Crocodiles re-entered the league as a community owned club under head coach, Shawn Dennis.

In June 2014, the Crocodiles announced that the Townsville RSL Stadium would be their new home court for the 2014–15 season. Following the 2014–15 season, the Crocodiles decided to place themselves into Voluntary Administration. On 21 May 2015, they re-entered the league for a second time after regaining control of the Deed of Company Arrangement and subsequently received NBL approval to re-enter the competition. The Crocodiles also announced that they would be returning to the Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre for the 2015–16 season. In February 2016, the Queensland Police seized a compressed air launcher use by the team for over ten years to launch folded T-shirts into the crowd, after the device was deemed to be a category B weapon.

On 14 April 2016, the Crocodiles pulled out of the 2016–17 season due to financial pressures.
