Lady Eleanor Holles School

Lady Eleanor Holles School (often abbreviated to LEH or LEHS) is a private day school for girls in Hampton, London. It consists of a small junior school and a larger senior school, which operate from different buildings on the same 24 acre site. It is a member of the Girls' Schools Association and the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.

History
The school was founded in 1710 with an endowment from Lady Eleanor Holles, the daughter of John Holles, 2nd Earl of Clare. The original site is commemorated by a plaque on one of the Barbican walkways.

In 1878, the middle school moved to a new building at 182 Mare Street in East Hackney, which was later owned by the Cordwainers Company and now forms part of the London College of Fashion.

In 1937 the school moved to its permanent site in Hampton. The first buildings in Hampton were designed by Colonel F. S. Hammond, whose father had designed the Hackney school and were opened by Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester.

The school celebrated its 300th anniversary with a thanksgiving service at St Paul's Cathedral, London on 18 November 2011, then a eucharist at Trinity College, Cambridge and a ball at The Hurlingham Club in May 2012.

Current Structure
Pupils come from a wide catchment area extending as far as Ealing, Woking, Wimbledon and Ascot, and there is an extensive coach service running over 23 routes operated jointly with Hampton School. The area is well served with public transport. The 111 public bus runs in front of Hampton School and the 285 bus runs at the back of the Junior School which has a direct walkway to the senior school which only students and staff can access. Around two-thirds come from South East Asian backgrounds; the rest from a mix of ethnic backgrounds. It is not affiliated with any other school or foundation and operates as an independent registered charity and limited company overseen by a board of governors.

The Independent Schools Inspectorate Integrated report in 2013 said "It aims to develop well-rounded individuals while striving for academic excellence."

Facilities
The school's facilities include the Millennium Boat House on the Thames, used by the Lady Eleanor Holles School Boat Club and jointly owned with the adjacent Hampton School. The arts centre with 330-seat theatre designed by Walters & Cohen and completed in 2013 won a RIBA London Award in 2014.

The 'Student Gateway', designed by Scott Brownrigg, was completed in 2018, linking the sports hall and swimming pool to the main building, and includes computing and product design suites, enlarged sports changing rooms, a viewing gallery for the swimming pool, an activity studio and an ergometer (rowing machine) room.

Curriculum
The curriculum is based on the National Curriculum. Girls typically study ten GCSE subjects, including English language and literature, Mathematics and the Sciences (combined or separate), with the other 4-5 being chosen from 16 options, subject to various constraints (At least one humanities subject must be chosen, at least one languages subject must be chosen, and students are encouraged not to choose more than 2 non-examined subjects such as art or textiles). An additional Free-standing Maths Qualification (FSMQ) is offered to girls at the end of Year 10 in the place of Further Maths, and those who chose it learn the content for it alongside their usual Maths GCSE. They then go on to study 3 or 4 A-Level subjects chosen from 23 courses, commonly accompanied by an Extended Project Qualification. Students were customarily required to start with 4 A Levels upon reaching Sixth Form, though this rule is no longer enforced, just encouraged. They are only allowed to study a fifth if it is Further Maths.

Sport
The 2013 ISI report said "around 30 pupils represent their country in sport, with numerous successes at national level for rowing, lacrosse, netball and swimming." In 2017 the figure was 29 girls, covering Gymnastics, Swimming, Acrobatics, Rowing, Hockey and Lacrosse. The school won the National Schools Lacrosse Under 19A Championship in 2018, and has been county champion for 11 years in a row. It held the National Schools Regatta (rowing) course record for Championship Girls Eights from 1994 until 2017 (when it was broken by both Headington and Henley).

Other activities including CCF, Young Enterprise, The Duke of Edinburgh's Award, Model United Nations, Service Volunteers are run jointly with Hampton School.

Music and drama
There are 5 choirs and over 20 musical ensembles and bands in the senior school. Lessons are available in 24 instruments, and there is a dedicated recording studio. The 2013 ISI report said "over the last three years, 20 pupils have been selected for national music groups." In 2010 the Holles Singers, a choir at the school, won the BBC Youth Choir of the Year.

Senator Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium

Senator Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium is a stadium in Norwich, Connecticut. It is primarily used for baseball, and since 2010, has been the home of the Norwich Sea Unicorns, who were previously known as the Connecticut Tigers. It was the home field of the Connecticut Defenders (previously known as the Norwich Navigators) minor league baseball team until 2009 when the Defenders announced their move to Richmond, Virginia, to become known as the Richmond Flying Squirrels. It was built in 1995 and has a seating capacity of 6,270. It is named for Eastern Connecticut native Thomas Dodd who was a United States senator and Representative from Connecticut, and the father of U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd.

Features
The stadium is sunk into the surrounding ground, so that all fans enter at street level and walk down to get to their seats. Each section has 22–25 rows of seating, split into box seats (closest to field) and reserved seats. Beyond first and third bases, there is a third category of general-admission seats making up the top 10 rows. A wide concourse runs around the top of the seating area, with concession stands, restrooms, and a gift shop. The press box is also located at concourse level, overlooking the field. Other than behind the press box, fans can continue to watch the game while standing in line or while walking around the stadium.

There are 18 skyboxes, elevated above the concourse and accessible by stairs or elevator for ticket-holders only. The skyboxes and their outdoor seating serve as cover for the main concourse below, and for the top couple rows of reserved seats.

Down the left- and right-field lines are grassy berms which are popular with children because they abut the bullpens. These are also frequent landing places for foul balls. The left-field side also features a large covered picnic area which can be rented out, and a kids' play area with inflatable slides. One room off the concourse has been made into a video arcade.

The stadium is located in the Norwich Business Park, and the parking fee is $3. Season ticket holders park on a paved lot on the first-base side of the stadium; all other parking is in a large gravel area.

Events
Dodd Stadium hosted the 12th and final Double-A All-Star Game on July 10, 2002, in front of a standing-room-only crowd of 8,009. The three Double-A leagues began holding their own separate All-Star Games starting in 2003, with Dodd Stadium hosting the Eastern League game once again on July 11, 2007. (That game was ultimately canceled in the 3rd inning due to excessive fog.) The facility has also been the site of the New England Collegiate All-Star Game; the Big East Conference baseball tournament; several concerts including the Beach Boys, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and Clint Black/Dwight Yoakam; and a TNA Wrestling event. During the fall of 2006, the stadium was used as the setting for the ESPN miniseries The Bronx Is Burning, based on a Jonathan Mahler book of the same name.

From 2002 to 2004, the stadium hosted the Atlantic 10 Conference baseball tournament. The event was won by George Washington in 2002, Richmond in 2003, and St. Bonaventure in 2004. It also has hosted the Northeast Conference baseball tournament since 2014 along with the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

The Connecticut Huskies baseball team holds some home games at Dodd Stadium, including four in 2012. As part of the 2010 NCAA Division I baseball tournament, the Huskies hosted an NCAA Regional at Dodd Stadium.

James Peter Davis

James Peter Davis (June 9, 1904 – March 4, 1988) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop (later Archbishop) of San Juan (1943–1964) and Archbishop of Santa Fe (1964–1974).

Biography
James Davis was born in Houghton, Michigan, the only child of John Frank and Elizabeth R. (née Didier) Davis. He and his family moved to Topeka, Kansas, and afterwards to Flagstaff, Arizona. He studied at St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park, California, and was ordained to the priesthood on May 19, 1929. He served as chancellor of the Diocese of Tucson from 1930 to 1932.

On July 3, 1943, Davis was appointed Bishop of San Juan in Puerto Rico by Pope Pius XII. He received his episcopal consecration on the following October 6 from Bishop Daniel James Gercke, with Bishops Thomas Arthur Connolly and Joseph Thomas McGucken serving as co-consecrators. In 1958, he estimated that 90 percent of Puerto Ricans were nominally Catholics, while only 30 percent practiced their faith. A strong opponent of Luis Muñoz Marín, Davis once declared he "will never climb the steps of the Fortaleza as long as Luis Muñoz Marín is Governor of Puerto Rico." In 1960, he and two other bishops issued a pastoral letter that prohibited Catholics from voting for Muñoz Marín's Popular Democratic Party. However, he later said there would be no punishment for Catholics who violated this order.

He was promoted to the first Archbishop of San Juan, Puerto Rico April 30, 1960. In 1963, Davis' predecessor in the see of San Juan, Edwin Byrne, died while serving as Archbishop of Santa Fe. In 1964, Pope Paul VI transferred Davis into Byrne's former position again, appointing him to be the ninth Archbishop of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Five years before reaching the mandatory age of retirement for a bishop according to canon law, he retired as Archbishop of Santa Fe in 1974. He died in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1988. He was buried at Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Peoples Natural Gas Field

Peoples Natural Gas Field is a 7,210-seat baseball-only stadium in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that opened in 1999. It is the home ballpark of the Eastern League's Altoona Curve Minor League Baseball team.

History
The groundbreaking ceremony for the stadium, then known as Blair County Ballpark, was held on March 7, 1998. The addition of Major League Baseball teams in Phoenix, Arizona, and St. Petersburg, Florida, in 1998 also created room for Minor League Baseball to expand. Two additional teams were added to the Eastern League for the 1999 season: the Altoona Curve and the Erie SeaWolves. The city of Altoona won the favor of the Eastern League over a bid from Springfield, Massachusetts. The stadium hosted its first regular season baseball game on April 15, 1999, as the Curve defeated the Bowie Baysox, 6–1.

From 1999 to 2002, total seating capacity was listed at 6,176. Prior to the 2003 season, an additional 1,034 seats were created with the construction of the new left-field reserved bleacher section, the third-base picnic pavilion, and the left-field party deck. Blair County Ballpark hosted the Eastern League All-Star Game on July 12, 2006, before a record crowd of 9,308 fans. The largest regular-season crowd was 9,255, recorded on August 10, 2003, for a doubleheader against the Harrisburg Senators.

On January 31, 2012, it was announced that Peoples Natural Gas had signed a naming-rights deal, making the new Peoples Natural Gas Field name official. In addition, Peoples Natural Gas is conducting a study for on-site green energy.

Features
Peoples Natural Gas Field has a façade that resembles an old-fashioned railroad roundhouse that are prevalent throughout the city of Altoona. The stadium is double-decked, with the Diamond Club seating section making up the lower level. The main concourse with concessions and restrooms sits behind this section, and is covered by the upper levels of seating.

Peoples Natural Gas Field is unique because of its roller coaster located beyond the right-field wall. This ride, called Skyliner, is actually part of the Lakemont Park amusement park located next door. The ridges of the Allegheny Mountains can also be viewed from inside the stadium. The ballpark's picturesque view earned it a runner-up position in the "Best View in the Minors" competition in 2018. It finished behind only Southwest University Park, home of the El Paso Chihuahuas.

Oddly enough, in MLB 2K13 the minor league field labeled, "AA East Field" is extremely similar to Peoples Natural Gas Field.

Seating

 * Diamond club: 1,634 seats
 * Terrace level: 1,204 seats
 * Grandstand level: 2,646 seats
 * Outfield reserved: 744 seats
 * Third-base picnic pavilion: 250 seats
 * "Rail Kings" (on party deck): 40 seats
 * Skyboxes: 292 seats
 * Bleachers: 400 seats

X̅ and R chart

In statistical process control (SPC), the $$\bar x$$ and R chart is a type of scheme, popularly known as control chart, used to monitor the mean and range of a normally distributed variables simultaneously, when samples are collected at regular intervals from a business or industrial process. It is often used to monitor the variables data but the performance of the $$\bar x$$ and R chart may suffer when the normality assumption is not valid.

Properties
The "chart" actually consists of a pair of charts: One to monitor the process standard deviation (as approximated by the sample moving range) and another to monitor the process mean, as is done with the $\bar x$ and s and individuals control charts. The $$\bar x$$ and R chart plots the mean value for the quality characteristic across all units in the sample, $$\bar x_i$$, plus the range of the quality characteristic across all units in the sample as follows:

 * R = xmax - xmin.

The normal distribution is the basis for the charts and requires the following assumptions:

 * The quality characteristic to be monitored is adequately modeled by a normally distributed random variable
 * The parameters μ and σ for the random variable are the same for each unit and each unit is independent of its predecessors or successors
 * The inspection procedure is same for each sample and is carried out consistently from sample to sample

The control limits for this chart type are:

 * $$D_3 \bar R$$ (lower) and $$D_4 \bar R$$ (upper) for monitoring the process variability
 * $$\bar \bar x \pm A_2 \bar R$$ for monitoring the process mean

 * where $$\bar \bar x$$ and $$\bar R$$ are the estimates of the long-term process mean and range established during control-chart setup and A2, D3, and D4 are sample size-specific anti-biasing constants. The anti-biasing constants are typically found in the appendices of textbooks on statistical process control.

Usage of the chart
The chart is advantageous in the following situations:
 * 1) The sample size is relatively small (say, n ≤ 10—$\bar x$ and s charts are typically used for larger sample sizes)
 * 2) The sample size is constant
 * 3) Humans must perform the calculations for the chart

As with the $\bar x$ and s and individuals control charts, the $$\bar x$$ chart is only valid if the within-sample variability is constant. Thus, the R chart is examined before the $$\bar x$$ chart; if the R chart indicates the sample variability is in statistical control, then the $$\bar x$$ chart is examined to determine if the sample mean is also in statistical control. If on the other hand, the sample variability is not in statistical control, then the entire process is judged to be not in statistical control regardless of what the $$\bar x$$ chart indicates.

Limitations
For monitoring the mean and variance of a normal distribution, the $\bar x$ and s chart chart is usually better than the $$\bar{x} $$ and R chart.

Celia Birtwell

Celia Birtwell, CBE (born 1941), is a British textile designer and fashion designer, known for her distinctive bold, romantic and feminine designs, which are influenced by Picasso and Matisse, and the classical world. She was well known for her prints which epitomised the 1960s/70s. After a period away from the limelight, she returned to fashion in the early 21st century.

Early life
The eldest of three children (all girls) born to a culture-loving engineer and a seamstress, Birtwell was born in Bury and raised in Prestwich, both then in Lancashire. From the age of 13 she studied textile design at the Royal Technical College, Salford. In an interview for BBC television's Inside Out North West in January 2014, Birtwell remembered attending parties and life classes with nude models on the top floor of the Technical College (pictured) and often seeing artist L.S. Lowry, a former student who often visited the college and the adjacent Salford Library. In 1959 she met the fashion designer Ossie Clark in the Cona Coffee Bar in Manchester, and they married in 1969 after being reintroduced when they both studied in London.

Ossie Clark
Celia Birtwell and Ossie Clark's was an almost perfect marriage of style, and their work together helped define the era. The collaboration began with a 1966 collection for the Quorum boutique in London, which they shared with the designer Alice Pollock. It was the Clarks who began the modern catwalk show: the previous procession of modelled clothes was put to music, the London glitterati were invited, and the shows became events. "He was a genius, better than Yves Saint Laurent. His cut – although he lifted it from the 1930s, he had his own take on it – even plump women felt pretty in. He didn't dress just the slimmest, which is always easier. I thought his garments were wonderful. I used to see [their] construction and the way he'd get excited about how he'd put a new sleeve in. He was a real artist. – Celia Birtwell" Birtwell worked at home designing textiles for Clark, who would use his skill in cutting and understanding of form, together with her knowledge of fabrics and textures to produce haute couture for the 1960s culture. This included work for the Rolling Stones and Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd, as well as Pattie Boyd, Marianne Faithfull, Bianca Jagger, Verushka, Paloma Picasso, Talitha Getty and numerous other celebrities.

Family
Celia and Ossie had two children together, Albert (born 1969) and George (born 1971), but their private relationship deteriorated and they divorced in 1974.

David Hockney
She has been a muse for the painter David Hockney since 1968, and features in many of his paintings including Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy (1970–71), one of Hockney's most celebrated and one of the most viewed paintings in the Tate Britain gallery. In 2005, it featured on the Today programme's shortlist of the Greatest Painting in Britain. She appears in the 1974 Hockney biopic, A Bigger Splash, and the 1978 BBC documentary Seeing Through Drawing produced by Mike Dibb.

Interiors and furnishing fabric
After the break-up of her marriage, Birtwell continued in fashion, designing for the Radley label for a time, until in 1984 she set up a shop on Westbourne Park Road in Bayswater, selling fabrics for the home. Again she built up a reputation for innovative and witty design. Her first success came with her own take on a 16th-century animal print she called 'Animal Solo', followed later by the first, and much copied, white on white voile and muslin fabrics. These fabrics are now to be seen in many homes, hotels and public spaces, including Claridge's and The Lanesborough hotels in London, The Grand Hotel, Leeds, and the Dubai Hilton.

Recent work
Birtwell produced designs for French fashion house Cacharel while it was under the design direction of Suzanne Clements and Inacio Ribeiro. In 2005, it was announced that she would design clothing for the high street chain Topshop, beginning with Spring/Summer 2006. The four collections were a sell-out success. In April 2008, Birtwell designed a limited collection for American fashion retailer Express. In 2008, Millets launched a camping and outdoor footwear and clothing range which she had designed. New lines were added to the range for Summer 2009. In 2010, she created a 25-piece collection for John Lewis.

Her book Celia Birtwell, written with Dominic Lutyens, featuring photographs, fashion sketches and memoir, was published by Quadrille in 2011. 250 limited edition fabric covered box sets which included a signed copy of her book, and an exclusive silk scarf, were also produced.

Birtwell was the castaway on Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 on Sunday 7 October 2012.

Honours
She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2011 Birthday Honours.

UPMC Park

UPMC Park, formerly known as Jerry Uht Park, is a baseball park located in Erie, Pennsylvania. It is the home of the Double-A Erie SeaWolves of the Eastern League, the city's Minor League Baseball (MiLB) franchise. The SeaWolves are affiliated with the Detroit Tigers Major League Baseball team. It hosted its first regular season game on June 20, 1995, in which major league veteran José Guillén hit a home run to ensure a SeaWolves victory over the Jamestown Jammers.

The park replaced Ainsworth Field, which was built in 1947, and features a natural grass and dirt playing field. Its concessions include regional specialties such as pepperoni balls, ox roast sandwiches, cheesesteaks, and Yuengling beer. It is part of the Erie Civic Center Complex, which also includes Erie Insurance Arena and the Warner Theatre, all governed by the Erie County Convention Center Authority. The stadium has a seating capacity of 6,000. After the 2016 season, the SeaWolves partnered with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) in a naming rights agreement to rebrand the stadium UPMC Park.

In 2008, the ESPN sports broadcast company ranked the ballpark number five out of ten minor league ballpark seating arrangements. They especially noted its unique mezzanine level overlooks the infield along the first base side. In July 2015, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) also ranked the stadium number five among the most vegetarian-friendly minor league ballparks.

History
Prior to UPMC Park's construction, the Erie SeaWolves (then known as the Welland Pirates) played at Welland Stadium in Welland, Ontario. They moved to Erie after owner Marvin Goldklang relocated the Erie Sailors to Wappingers Falls, New York (where they became the Hudson Valley Renegades) because he did not want to upgrade Ainsworth Field to the standards Major League Baseball required of its affiliated clubs. Once the civic government secured an $8 million grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to build UPMC Park, the Welland Pirates moved to Erie. The remaining $1 million for architectural expenses were covered by the City of Erie, Erie County, and the 300-member Team Erie, each of whom contributed $300,000. Additionally, nearby Millcreek Township contributed $25,000. The ballpark site was originally home to a Sears building turned Exhibit Hall. Groundbreaking ceremonies took place on July 27, 1994 and Jerry Uht Park was completed in May 1995.

On July 10, 2015, Jerry Uht Park hosted Global Force Wrestling's Grand Slam Tour, its first major professional wrestling event.

Original namesake
Gerard T. "Jerry" Uht Sr. was a minor league baseball player and longtime Erie resident. In 1995, he established a $500,000 endowment with PNC Bank and the Erie Community Foundation to perpetually support the downtown baseball stadium. In response to his generosity, the city named Jerry Uht Park in his honor. As of January 2007, the Erie Community Foundation continues to manage the fund, valued at $750,000. The Erie Times-News indicated that the fund is designated for stadium maintenance expenses and equipment purchases. The name remained in use until a naming rights agreement with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) after the 2016 season resulted in a name change to "UPMC Park."

Features
Seating along UPMC Park's first and third base lines has a unique configuration due to the space constraints of an urban construction. There are three main concession stands and a picnic area for fans, plus six luxury suites for special occasions. The ballpark is known for its two distinctive grandstands, each with its own design.

In 2006, the park was renovated at a cost of $4 million. Additions included a new 40 ft electronic scoreboard (which has a nautical theme featuring "Erie" spelled out with international maritime signal flags), a two-tiered picnic area, eleven luxury box seats, and new concession stands. An additional video board was added to Erie Insurance Arena, which borders the stadium, that displays scores from other Eastern League games, player statistics, and information about the Detroit Tigers. UPMC Park's batting zone resembles that of Comerica Park in Detroit, exaggerating the contour of the regulation home plate.

In spring 2012, a new 33 ft wall was constructed along the park's border with Erie Insurance Arena. The Erie Times-News dubbed it the "Gray Monster," an allusion to Fenway Park's Green Monster in Boston. Despite the wall's height, the home-run marker was maintained at 17 ft. Its construction was part of the $42 million renovation of Erie Insurance Arena, which lies a mere 312 ft from the left-field boundary. Additionally, the left-field pole was moved from its original 312 ft from home-plate to 316 ft and the batting cages were relocated from left-field to right-center, near the scoreboard.

On August 13, 2018, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf announced UPMC Park would receive Redevelopment Capital Assistance Program funding totaling $12 million for upgrades to UPMC Park. Enhancements are expected to include updated video boards, a renovated suite, concession and restroom areas, and a new left-field stadium entrance featuring a climate-controlled team store and stadium club.

Concessions
Happy Howler, LLC, manages the concessions at UPMC Park, offering a typical ballpark menu of hot dogs, hamburgers, nachos, and peanuts. Some regional specialties include Erie-made pepperoni balls, ox roast sandwiches, and cheesesteaks. The most distinctive concession is the Smith's Sausage Shack, which grills German bratwurst, Italian sausage, Polish kiełbasa, and Cajun sausage along with the Pennsylvania-brewed Yuengling beer. Options for health-conscious, vegetarian, and vegan customers include veggie burgers and burrito bowls. Pepsi has exclusive pouring rights at UPMC Park for soft drinks. In 2017, the Mojo & AC Rocket Dog, a Smith's hot dog topped with pulled pork, mac & cheese, bacon and BBQ sauce, was named the top food item in Minor League Baseball's BUSH's Home Run Recipes Contest. The SeaWolves organization repeated as champions in 2018 with their Fiesta Burger, topped with pepper jack cheese, bacon, guacamole, onion strings, and Bush's Black Beans. Also in 2018, the facility offered a hot dog topped with Nerds candy in a cotton candy bun. This outrageous item earned national recognition and notoriety for the SeaWolves organization.

Aspidodiadematidae

The Aspidodiadematidae are a family of sea urchins.

Characteristics
All the members of the two extant genera, Aspidodiadema and Plesiodiadema, are found in tropical seas at bathyal and abyssal depths, often on the submarine slopes of islands. The genera Culozoma, Eosalenia, and Gymnotiara are known only from the fossil record. Study of the larval development of Aspidodiadema jacobyi suggests that the family should be elevated to ordinal status as a sister clade of the order Diadematoida, or possibly be regarded as a sister clade of the other families within that order.

Genera
These genera and species are listed in the World Register of Marine Species:

FNB Field

FNB Field is a baseball park in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on City Island in the Susquehanna River. It is the home field of the Harrisburg Senators, the Double-A Eastern League affiliate of the Washington Nationals, and was the home stadium of Penn FC of the USL. The original structure was built in 1987 and it was called Riverside Stadium until 2004. It has a capacity of 6,187. The ballpark received a $45 million renovation that began in 2008.

History
FNB Field sits on the exact spot where baseball had been played earlier in the century, where other Harrisburg teams played from 1907 to 1952. The location, City Island, is a 62-acre waterfront park and sports complex. The facilities include volleyball courts, softball fields, a football/soccer field, water golf, nature tails, jogging paths, cycling paths, two marinas, the Pride of the Susquehanna paddlewheel riverboat, a food court called RiverSide Village, and a miniature train that runs around the island for tours.

The original ballpark is a steel and aluminum structure, and over the course of time, additional seating areas were built along first base, and box seats in foul territory and in front of the grandstands behind home plate to provide additional seating, despite official capacity being listed at over 6,000 since the park's inception. The stadium was used as the spring training facility in the movie Major League II, starring Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger and Corbin Bernsen.

Stadium renovation
FNB Field received a $45 million renovation ($18 million in city funding). Originally the renovation was scheduled to begin in 2005. However, problems with the availability of state funding for the project pushed it back to 2008, with the transfer of ownership between the 2007 and 2008 seasons. The renovation project was finished in two phases, with the first phase being completed before Opening Day 2009. The second phase of the project began in August 2009 and was completed prior to Opening Day 2010.

The construction for the first phase of the project began in January 2009 and continued into April 2009. The changes and additions to FNB Field for the 2009 season were:

A public plaza and entrance was constructed in the left field corner; a boardwalk surrounding the outfield was constructed between the foul poles; a complete upgrade to the scoreboard; a new left field seating area; an outfield bar complete with drink rails; and new seating underneath the scoreboard; a new outfield wall constructed with static advertisement panels; and a new 8600 sqft Operations Building which houses the Senators front offices, ranger, security, first aid and the new box office along with the new Senators souvenir store, concession stand, and public rest rooms.

The second phase of the construction project began in August 2009. This project included the comprehensive changes to FNB Field that turned the stadium on City Island into one of the best and most unusual ballparks in minor league baseball. The following is a comprehensive list of the renovation project:

 * Complete new seating bowl upgrades with individual chair back seats replacing the bench seating
 * Roofing covering the majority of the seating bowl
 * Construction of 20 suites with amenities including a glass wall located in the front of the suite to see the field and a in the back of the suite to see the city skyline
 * A new sound system
 * Creation of a "Midway" with activities and specialty areas geared towards children, teenagers and families
 * Completion of new concessions and restrooms on elevated concourses
 * Upgraded picnic areas which effectively double the size of the stadium picnic facilities
 * Reconfiguration of field lights including removal of two lights, addition of fixtures to remaining eight lights, re-lamp and re-aim of all lights, addition of quartz lighting bank for emergency purposes
 * Upgrade of the field-level concourse with brick pavers
 * Completion of the Operations Building by August 2009
 * New press box including new media and scoreboard control rooms
 * Complete renovation of existing buildings, including the home and visitors clubhouses and the restroom facilities
 * Development of a reserved parking lot.

The total construction costs for the project were $32 million and the total development budget for the entire project, including all costs, was approximately $45 million. Prior to the 2005 season, a new playing surface was installed which is also a part of the $45 million total project cost.

In the 2008 off-season, the renovation of the stadium began, with $500,000 in funding going towards a new public plaza, and other small amenities to be built into the stadium. In the 2009 offseason, the rest of the stadium was renovated.

Stadium dimensions
The ballpark's original dimensions were fairly basic. The walls at the left and right field lines were 335 ft from home plate, and the center field wall was 400 ft from home plate, with the outfield wall pretty much the same setup that multi-purpose stadiums had in the 1980s (though FNB Field itself is not a multi-purpose stadium), with no extra bends or such in the wall, and the height of the wall at 8 ft. Billboards also ran around by the walls, and reached a height of 16 ft. Anything that hit the billboards was a home run. With the renovation of the park, and the addition of the boardwalk, some of the distances have changed, with left and right field now 325 feet from home plate. Center field's distance has stayed the same at 400 feet; however walls, unlike at left and right field, were raised to 16 feet instead of the original 8 feet, and the walls have extra bends that did not exist in the previous setup, predominantly in left center and right center field.

Foul territory also currently varies, because there is a small amount of foul ground behind home plate. However, the further out toward the outfield, the wall on the foul ground stays somewhat parallel to the foul line in both left and right field, with only the box seats sticking out into foul ground helping to reduce the area somewhat. This was expected to change when the main grandstands are renovated in the 2009–2010 off-season. The bullpens were also located out in the foul territory by the outfield walls. While the visiting team's bullpen has stayed in the same place for the 2009 season, and is expected to be in the same general area for the 2010 season, the Senators moved their bullpen to a location behind the right field wall halfway through the season.

Trivia

 * Because of the location, FNB Field is prone to flooding and a previous stadium at the site was washed out by a flood in 1935. Floods in the winter do not pose as much of a problem, as the ballpark can be repaired and ready for the next season, but floods during the baseball season can (and usually will) affect the Senators' schedule, forcing them to play their "home games" usually at their opponent's ballpark. In the 2006 season, a flood partially submerged the field and forced the Senators to play two "home games" against the Bowie Baysox as a doubleheader in Bowie. The most recent episode of this was during the 2011 playoffs when a flood completely submerged the field and forced the Senators to play their first two playoff "home games" against the Richmond Flying Squirrels in Richmond. Even though the Senators had the best record in the Eastern League, they went on to lose all three games in Richmond and were eliminated from the playoffs.
 * The record attendance at a Senators' game at FNB Field is 8,637, on September 1, 2011. The crowd was bolstered by a rehab start for Stephen Strasburg, while future Hall of Famer Iván Rodríguez caught for him, and the Senators' clinching of the division title.

Break.com

Break.com (formerly Big-boys.com) is an entertainment and humor website founded in 1998 that featured comedy videos, flash games, and pictures among other material. The website's target audience was men aged 18–35.

After shutting down on November 6, 2018 when Defy Media announced that it was ceasing operations, the site reopened several months later in April 2019 under ownership of the Vietnam-based Yeah1 network.

History
Break.com was founded in 1998 as Big-boys.com, a humor website featuring comedy videos, flash games, and other material. At one time, visitors were able to rank site material on a scale of 1 to 5, but Break replaced that feature with a thumbs up or thumbs down system. Negative scores were not allowed on videos – a "thumb down" simply counteracted the vote of a "thumb up". Users could also comment on most of the individual entries. At the time of shutdown, all forms of visitor feedback and comments had been removed.

In January 2006, Break.com had introduced a new file hosting system for its users to share their files. Shared files were able to be promoted to the homepage to be featured. Users that hosted original files promoted to the homepage were paid, but the user relinquished all rights to their material under contract. Break.com paid users for content ($400 for user-generated content and up to $2,000 for animated shorts) if the content yielded significant views.

In August 2006, Break.com and Showtime partnered to promote Weeds by encouraging Break.com users to upload original videos matching the themes of the show, with winners eligible for airing on the channel. Since then, advertising from various television shows and movies had appeared around the site, with similar video competitions occurring occasionally.

In March 2007, Break.com signed a contract with NBCU Digital Studios to develop a streaming broadband series to be featured on Break.com, tentatively titled Breakers. The show planned to involve attractive women finding different ways to break objects. Breaker's advertising revenue was planned to come from businesses paying to have their product smashed on the show, with Break.com's young-male demographic expected to attract the advertisers. Break.com CEO Keith Richman stated at the time, "We have a male audience that likes attractive women and demolition."

In April 2007, Break.com announced a deal with Fear Factor and Big Brother producer Endemol USA to create a new show called Record Breakers. That show was planned to center around contestants attempting to break obscure world records. Endemol had chosen Break.com for its ability to reach the young-male demographic. According to MediaWeek, the show was likely to carry pre-roll video advertisements and banner ads.

In July 2009, Break.com partnered up with G4's Web Soup for their "This Week In FAIL" segment.

In February 2010, Break.com purchased the PC game mod hosting network FileFront.com, which was previously owned by Ziff Davis Media.

In March 2018, Break.com inexplicably disabled all comments, user uploads and user pages on their site, putting an end to any kind of user interaction or participation. Viewership plunged, and on November 6 of that year, parent company Defy Media announced that it was ceasing all operations.

The website had been owned by TMFT Enterprises, LLC., was sold to Yeah1 media group soon after, but is now offline and the domain up for sale.

FirstEnergy Stadium (Reading, Pennsylvania)

FirstEnergy Stadium is a 10,000-seat baseball-only stadium in Reading, Pennsylvania, that hosted its first regular season baseball game in 1951. The park is home to the Reading Fightin Phils of the Eastern League. It was voted the second best place to see a baseball game by Minor League News in 2006. It is also the first ballpark to ever receive the annual Digital Ballparks.com Ballpark Of The Year Award, which it was awarded in 2002. It is the first American baseball stadium to reach a total attendance of ten million without ever serving a team higher than AA.

History
On March 28, 1945, Reading City Council voted unanimously to purchase 27 acres of ground known as Cathedral Heights at a cost of $64,491 for the purpose of building a municipal stadium. In 1947 the grading of the land began and by 1949 the initial stages of construction could be seen. With a final price tag of $656,674, the stadium was completed on April 15, 1951. Named in honor of U.S. military personnel who died while serving, Reading Municipal Memorial Stadium was dedicated on July 15 that same year.

The stadium was originally known as Reading Municipal-Memorial Stadium before corporate sponsorship resulted in its current name.

Mike Schmidt made his professional debut at the ballpark on June 17, 1971, in an exhibition game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Reading Phillies. The Phillies had signed Schmidt on June 11. In the exhibition game, Schmidt played the whole game at shortstop for the Phillies and hit the game-winning home run against Reading.

On July 13, 1977, The Reading Municipal Stadium hosted a concert by the band Chicago. To date, this was the only major entertainment event held at the 10,000-seat facility.

Prior to Municipal Stadium, Reading's professional baseball teams played at Lauer's Park.

Upgrades
In January 1989, Municipal Stadium experienced its first significant improvement in its then 36-year history. The wooden bench seating in the main grandstand was replaced by individual seats, and a roof was erected to cover 1,500 of those seats. The press box was also expanded as a part of the project, which cost more than $500,000.

The third base picnic area was built between the 1989 and 1990 season at a cost of $125,000. The right field food court was started and completed during the 1991–1992 off-season at a cost of $45,000.

After the 1992 season, the left field bleachers were demolished and a new grandstand was built in its place, which doubled that area's capacity to 1,600 seats.

The stadium's exterior received a facelift in October 1992 to enhance the appearance of the park's front façade. Also during this time, the team offices were expanded and renovated, and a souvenir shop was added.

Following the 1993 season, a batting tunnel was built behind the third base bleachers. The left field deck was also constructed during that off-season, which provided the stadium with its first "home run" seats and a bar that overlooked the field. In 1996, 483 individual seats and eight private boxes were added to the deck.

The playing field underwent improvements during the fall of 1994. A new drainage system was implemented, and the number of rainouts per season dropped from an average of ten before the drainage system to just three after its installation.

After the 1997 season, the "Boardwalk" was added to the left field deck area, which added standing room for about 150 between the existing deck and the left field fence. Also during the fall of 1997, a $675,000 video scoreboard was added, and along with two new video cameras, the state-of-the-art board gave the Phillies the capability of showing color video during games.

The R-Phils constructed a $1.4 million pool pavilion beyond the right field fence, featuring a 1,000-square foot heated pool. Another picnic buffet area for fans, umpires' locker rooms, a weight room and additional storage space was Added. In a separate project, the Power Alley Pub was constructed in March 2001. The pub became an extension of the left field deck.

After the 2002 season, the individual seats in the left field deck were replaced by a four-tiered picnic area, and the Classic Café was constructed underneath the first base bleachers.

Prior to the 2004 season, a Daktronics ProStar was added, which measures 36' W × 15.5' H (558 sq. ft) and has the ability to display 68 billion colors through approximately 185 LEDs per square foot.

Prior to the 2011 season, $10 million was spent in renovating the stadium. These renovations included the brand new VIST Financial Plaza, an expanded ticket plaza outside of the gates, a climate controlled walk-in team store, family bathrooms, brand new offices for front office members, more parking spaces, light poles, cement in the main grandstand, padded outfield walls, and new clubhouses for both the home and visiting teams.

H. Walter Webb

Henry Walter Webb, Sr. (May 6, 1852 – June 18, 1900) was an American railway executive with the New York Central Railroad under Cornelius Vanderbilt and Chauncey Depew. He was also Vice President of the Wagner Palace Car Co.

Early life
Webb was born on May 6, 1852, in Tarrytown, New York. He was the son of James Watson Webb (1802–1884), a United States Minister to Brazil, and his father's second wife, Laura Virginia Cram (1826–1890). Among his siblings was brother Dr. William Seward Webb, who was married to Eliza Osgood Vanderbilt; and Alexander Steward Webb, the longstanding President of City College of New York.

Webb was head of his class in the Columbia College School of Mines (now incorporated into the School of Engineering and Applied Science). He was a member of the fraternity St. Anthony Hall. While still an undergraduate, he participated in the Orton expedition that ascended the Amazon River almost to its source, and crossing the Andes, he exited South America by way of Peru, returning to the US by ship. He then studied law, also at Columbia, and passed the bar in 1875.

Career
After briefly practiced law, which he found unsatisfying, he soon thereafter became active in Wall Street banking and brokerage. He drifted into the railway business almost by accident through his brother, Dr. William Seward Webb, who married Eliza Vanderbilt, a daughter of William H. Vanderbilt, and became interested in the Wagner Palace Car Company which the Vanderbilts controlled. When Webster Wagner, the company's president was suddenly crushed between two of his own cars in 1882, Dr. Webb became president of the company and invited his brother to join it.

Webb was an advocate of fast railway travel and ran what was then the fastest railway train in the world, averaging nearly 60 miles per hour over 450 miles. In 1893 he made a bold and ultimately true prediction for the next hundred years: By 1993, a traveler will be able to have his breakfast in New York City and his evening meal in Chicago.

Webb lived in Scarborough, New York, was Show Chairman of the Westminster Kennel Club (1880–1882), subscriber to the Blackstone Memorial (1891), and helped dedicate a bronze statue of Christopher Columbus in Central Park (1894).

H. Walter Webb retired due to tuberculosis around 1897.

Personal life
In 1884, Webb married Leila Howard Griswold (1856–1910), and they had three children, two of whom survived to adulthood:

 * Henry Walter Webb, Jr. (c.1885–1919)
 * John Griswold Webb (1890–1934), a New York State Senator who married Anne Pendleton Rogers (1894–1983).

He died from heart trouble on June 18, 1900, at his country residence, Beechwood, in Scarborough, New York. After his death, his widow married architect and interior decorator Ogden Codman Jr., best known for novel co-authored with Edith Wharton, The Decoration of Houses (1897), which became a standard in American interior design.

Radio Research Station (UK)

The Radio Research Board was formed by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in 1920. The Radio Research Station (1924 – 31 August 1979) at Ditton Park, near Slough, Berkshire, England was the UK government research laboratory which pioneered the regular observation of the ionosphere by ionosondes. In continuous operation from 20 September 1932, it applied the ionosonde technology for the early developments which led to the British Chain Home radar system, operational during World War II.

In 1965, it was renamed the Radio and Space Research Station, to reflect its increasing role in space research. In 1974, it became the Appleton Laboratory, in honour of Sir Edward Victor Appleton, who had received the 1947 Nobel prize for his work on the ionosphere and who had long been associated with the station's research. In 1979, the laboratory merged with the Rutherford Laboratory to form the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and over the next three years moved from Ditton Park to Chilton, Oxfordshire.

Ray Winder Field

Ray Winder Field was a baseball park in Little Rock, Arkansas. The ballpark sat with home plate in roughly the north-northwest corner of the property. The former boundaries of the park were Interstate 630 (south, right field); Jonesboro Drive (west, right field corner); South Monroe Street (west, first base stands); buildings on driveway extended from Ray Winder Drive (north, third base stands); buildings bordering South Palm Street (east, right field). The field was in operation for around 74 years.

Construction
The ballpark was constructed during 1931, as a new home field for the Little Rock Travelers, later to become the Arkansas Travelers, minor league baseball team. The Travelers vacated Kavanaugh Field, near Little Rock Central High School, and opened their 1932 season on April 13 at the newly completed ballpark, which was initially called Travelers Field for the team name.

Renaming
On August 26, 1966, Travelers Field was renamed Ray Winder Field, after Raymond Winder, who was involved with the business end of The Travelers for some sixty years. Winder started as a ticket seller in 1915, was named as the Arkansas Traveler business manager in 1931, and became part owner in 1944. The Traveler franchise was moved to Shreveport following the 1958 season, leaving Little Rock without a baseball club for the first time since 1914. Traveler Field sat empty during the 1959 season while efforts continued to return minor league baseball to Little Rock. After a public stock drive raised funds to purchase a bankrupt New Orleans franchise, the Travelers were resurrected in Little Rock for the 1960 season. Ray Winder was again asked to manage the day to day details of rebuilding the club.

Valentine era
In 1976, Bill Valentine, a former American League umpire, was chosen as general manager for the Travelers. Valentine was general manager until 2007, 31 years. He remained executive vice president for two more seasons, before retiring in March 2009.

Faced with an aging ballpark and limited funds, Valentine began to promote the historic nature of Ray Winder Field. Through his efforts the ballpark gained recognition as one of the oldest active parks in minor league baseball, and he encouraged fans traveled to Little Rock to experience the nostalgia and sample the baseball history represented by Ray Winder Field. He promoted the home of the Arkansas Travelers as "A great place to see old-time baseball, wholesome entertainment aimed squarely at the family market."

Closing
In 2005, construction began on a new ballpark in North Little Rock which would eventually become the home of the Arkansas Travelers. On September 3, 2006, the final game of the 2006 season, a capacity crowd filled Ray Winder Field as fans returned for the last Traveler game at Ray Winder Field. During this game, the Travelers beat the Springfield Cardinals by a score of 7-3. Beginning with the 2007 season, the Arkansas Travelers home ballpark is Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock. Ray Winder Field sat vacant for almost five years while forces outside of organized baseball determined the future of this historic ballpark. Many citizens recognized the ballpark as a historic structure both for the City of Little Rock and for baseball, and it was proposed that the park be restored as a functional baseball field for city and college teams as had been done with Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama. Others proposed demolishing the historic ballpark in order to utilize the area as a parking lot for the nearby University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. The Arkansas Zoological Foundation wanted the Little Rock Zoo to expand into Ray Winder by refitting the grandstand as a viewing area for an Asian elephant exhibit. During all of these discussions, the underlying atmosphere from the City of Little Rock was one of disinterest and apathy, with no apparent recognition of the park's historic ties to baseball's golden era, and no interest in assisting in the landmark ballpark's preservation.

Ultimately, the decision was made to sell the park to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with all structures to be razed and the land cleared for use as a parking lot. The City of Little Rock again confirmed that they had no interest preserving the park. Several sales were held to disperse remaining artifacts to baseball fans from across the country who had visited this ballpark, and on May 14, 2011, the park was opened for a final time when the remaining wooden seats, dating to 1932, were dismantled and given to fans on a first-come, first-served basis.

On July 12, 2012 the score board and the light poles were left standing while the rest of the park and all other structure were torn down and removed, and the ground paved over. It had also been hotly debated to allow the Little Rock Zoo to use the site for expansion and  improvements for the betterment of the animals and visitors.

As of September 1, 2023 the score board and light poles still remain.

Name
What was its name before Ottomans? It would be incorrect to call it Balaklava before Turks. There must be some Greek name. mikka (t) 22:19, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

History, Archipelago
There's a note in the History section, on the the Archipelago immigration, calling for citation. Here it is, from Google books

- "Edinburgh History of the Greeks", 1768 to 1913, Thomas W Gallant, chapter "Catherine's Greek project", on mentioning the "Balaclava brigade". By Archipelago the article would rather refer to the Aegean.

- "Diaspora Merchants in the Black Sea: The Greeks in Southern Russia, 1775-1861", Vasilēs A. Kardasēs, page 38, two thousand Greek settlers

Casualty figures
The current version of the wiki-article about the Charge of the Light Brigade states that the brigade lost 118 men killed and 127 wounded (and also that 362 horses were killed). This differs significantly from what is stated in this article: about 500 (presumably only human) deaths.--3 Löwi 14:52, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Fixed. The 500 number is because of unwitty maths: since of 700 only 195 were left, the rest must be total losses. The common misinterpretation is omissin of the word "mounted": the fact is 195 were left mounted, and this number is dominated by heavy losses in horses, rather than in personnel. mikka (t) 17:42, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Balaclava / Balaklava
So why Balaklava rather than Balaclava? And why the balaclava (not the balaklava)?-- ALoan (Talk) 14:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Per the Lonely Planet guide, Ukraine, it seems that balaclava is an Anglicised twist on the name owing to the Crimean War, when English women sent knitted full-cover caps to sailors whom were dying from the cold. The address on the packages containing these caps was written just as the English-speaking populace heard it sound. -- Bossi  ( talk • gallery • contrib ) 04:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

City or town?
The article starts by calling Balaclava a city, later amended to 'town'. If it is indeed a city, when did it become so? Crawiki (talk) 19:23, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
 * There is no distinction between a "city" and a "town" in either Ukrainian or Russian. In articles about Russian places, a somewhat arbitrary population threshold of 100,000 is used to distinguish between "cities" (larger localities) and "towns" (smaller ones)—both are called gorod in Russian, though. In articles about Ukrainian places, editors keep going back and forth, and currently seem to be using the city/town terms interchangeably, or favor "city". In articles about places in Crimea (a disputed territory), it's anyone's guess. I would personally recommend consistently using "town" for Balaklava (since it's pretty small), but there is currently nothing in our guidelines to support this recommendation; just using common sense here.

Lawrence–Dumont Stadium

Lawrence–Dumont Stadium, previously known as Lawrence Stadium, was a baseball stadium in Wichita, Kansas, United States. It was located on the northwest corner of McLean Boulevard and Maple Street, along the west bank of the Arkansas River, in the Delano neighborhood of downtown Wichita. The stadium held 6,400 fans and most recently was the home field of the Wichita Wingnuts independent baseball team from 2008 until 2018, and was home to the annual National Baseball Congress World Series from 1935 until 2018.

The city of Wichita tore down the aging Lawrence-Dumont to build a new stadium on the site for the Wichita Wind Surge, who relocated from New Orleans in 2020. The new stadium is named Riverfront Stadium.

Previous stadiums
Baseball was played at other locations around Wichita in the earlier years. Island Park baseball stadium was built in 1912 on what was then Ackerman Island in the Arkansas River, north of the Douglas Street bridge. Baseball was played there from 1912 to 1933, when the stadium was torn down so the island could be removed to widen the river into one channel.

20th century
Charles S. Lawrence, former Wichita mayor (1929,1930,1933,1934) who died on September 20, 1934, after convincing the city to move the stadium and rebuild within the city limits at a location that was known as "Payne's Pasture" (owned by Charles Payne). The construction of the stadium was a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project during the Great Depression. The new stadium was named Lawrence Stadium in honor of the former mayor.

Ray "Hap" Dumont had promised to hold semi-pro games in the new ballpark. He paid Satchel Paige $1,000 to bring the Bismarck Churchills to the stadium to play in the first National Baseball Congress Championship.

In 1942, Lawrence Stadium was used for American football with the Wichita Aero Commandos, who played eight games at the ballpark. In its football configuration, the stadium was capable of holding 12,500 spectators. The field was also resodded and bleachers were erected.

In 1949, the ballpark was the last to host the College World Series before Omaha, Nebraska became its permanent address the following year.

In 1978, it was renamed to Lawrence-Dumont Stadium, adding the last name of Raymond "Hap" Dumont, who was a sports writer for The Wichita Eagle-Beacon, sports editor for the Hutchinson News, founder of the National Baseball Congress in 1935, and was instrumental in building Lawrence Stadium in Wichita.

21st century
The stadium underwent renovations in 2001 which brought improvements to the stadium sound system, new infield turf, a new outfield fence with tables behind it, and fresh paint to the seating area.

The stadium was again renovated in 2011. It was one of the few stadiums in the world that features a natural grass outfield with an AstroTurf infield. This would change during the April 2011 renovation when the entire field (including the grass outfield) would be replaced with RamTurf. Other changes included all new lights, exterior cosmetic improvements, new infield turf, dugout expansion, and improvements to the concourse areas.

It was home to the Wichita Wranglers minor league baseball team. The Wranglers left Wichita at the end of the 2007 season and moved to Springdale, Arkansas, where the team was renamed the Northwest Arkansas Naturals. The Wichita Wingnuts of the independent American Association most recently played at Lawrence-Dumont.

In November 2018 the stadium was demolished to make room for the new Riverfront Stadium.

Plaza de Cibeles

The Plaza de Cibeles is a square with a neo-classical complex of marble sculptures with fountains that has become a symbol for the city of Madrid. It sits at the intersection of Calle de Alcalá (running from east to west), Paseo de Recoletos (to the North) and Paseo del Prado (to the south). Plaza de Cibeles was originally named Plaza de Madrid, but in 1900, the City Council named it Plaza de Castelar, which was eventually replaced by its current name.

It is currently delimited by four prominent buildings: the Bank of Spain Building, the Palacio de Buenavista, the Palace of Linares ("Palacio de Linares"), and the Cybele Palace ("Palacio de Cibeles"). These constructions are located in four different neighbourhoods from three different adjacent districts: Centro, Retiro, and Salamanca.

Over the years, Cybele Palace and her fountain have become symbolic monuments of the city.

Cibeles Fountain
The fountain of Cybele is found in the part of Madrid commonly called the Paseo de Recoletos. This fountain is named after Cybele, a Phrygian goddess. The fountain is traditionally the place where Real Madrid C.F. celebrate their team victories, with the team captain placing a Real Madrid flag and scarf on the statue.

Cybele Palace
The most prominent of the buildings at the Plaza de Cibeles is the Cybele Palace (formerly named Palace of Communication), which is the seat of the Madrid City Council.

Trainwreck with Kyle Gass

Trainwreck with Kyle Gass is an American southern and comedy rock band formed in Los Angeles, in 2002. It was founded by Tenacious D guitarist Kyle Gass and actor and singer JR Reed.

The band originally started out as a three-piece, with Reed on vocals, Gass on guitar, and Kevin Weisman on drums. The band adopted pseudonym names for its band members: Reed was "Darryl Lee Donald", Gass was "Klip Calhoun", and Weisman was "Kenny Bob Thornton". Gass and Reed began to search for backing musicians, as they felt Trainwreck's musical style was "too close to Tenacious D". The band met electric guitarist John Konesky and bassist John Spiker in Ohio through a mutual friend, with them relocating to Los Angeles to form Trainwreck as "John Bartholomew Shredman" and "Boy Johnny" respectively. Nate Rothacker replaced Weisman as the drummer in the mid-2000s, going under the pseudonym "Dallas St. Bernard".

The band released one studio album, one live album, one EP and two singles before splitting up in 2010. The band would reform in 2018 and announce a reunion tour, as well as work on a second studio album, releasing some singles in 2022.

Beginnings
Gass started the rock band Tenacious D along with Jack Black in 1994. Black became very popular in the turn of the new millennium with many film and TV roles which led to Black having less time to spend playing gigs with Gass – so Gass created Trainwreck to keep him musically active when Black was busy. In December 2001, Tenacious D played a concert with Weezer and Jimmy Eat World in Value City Arena, where Kyle Gass befriended Erin Robinson, who described herself as a "huge D fan". In 2002, Trainwreck was formed, but just as an occasional band with JR Reed on vocals, Kevin Weisman on drums and Gass as guitar. The group played their first concert at Highland Grounds in Los Angeles on August 2, 2002. In 2003, Gass asked Erin Robinson to recruit electric backing musicians for the "Trainwreck side project" so she found bassist John Spiker and electric guitarist John Konesky. At this point, Gass, Reed and Weisman also added Chris D'Arienzo as keyboard in addition. The band released their first single '2 Tracks' sometime in 2003 and their live album, Trainwreck Live, was released by Epic Records in 2004 exclusive to their ShopBootlegs.com. Trainwreck made their first TV appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2004 and featured on Current TV's 2005 Halloween special performing "TV Theme" as the musical guest.

The EP (2006–2007)
The band self-released their first 5-song EP, The EP, in 2006. Two songs from the EP ("Caveman" and "I Wanna Know") were used on the official soundtrack for Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, and were later released on More Rocktastic Music From The Film. Gass wears a Trainwreck T-shirt during the vast majority of the film, as well as appearing in it on posters. For the concert tour to support the movie and soundtrack, Konesky and Spiker were recruited to play guitar for the shows based on their work with Trainwreck. Rothacker worked as a band assistant. Because The Pick of Destiny Tour featured all the members of Trainwreck, Trainwreck played shows in the cities they were in on their days off. This is notable because the band performed at the Scala in England, the Annandale Hotel in Australia and the Mod Club Theater in Canada which were the band's first international dates. In late 2006, Black expressed wishes for 2007 to take a break from the entertainment industry, this meant for Trainwreck to tour during 2007, especially in the summer, to keep Gass musically active.

The Wreckoning (2008–2010)
In September 2008, Trainwreck released their first music video "Tim Blankenship" directed by Nick Simon. The actual song itself would later feature on their 2009 debut album.

The band released their debut 15-track album on December 2, 2009 at The Roxy in Los Angeles. There was also a music video created in support for the album – "Brodeo". The band also released a music video for "Baby, Let's Rock" off of Trainwreck's 2003 "2 Tracks" single. The band went on a tour to support the new album throughout March and May in various cities of the United States. In June during Tenacious D's Bonnaroo Music Festival slot, Rothacker played for Tenacious D for the first time as he replaced Brooks Wackerman due to him being on tour with Bad Religion. Later on, in September, they began touring again after a short absence. The band played their last show on September 25, 2010 at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago. This show was in the middle of their Transcontinental Railroad tour – the Chicago show was their tenth show into the tour, and due to "unforeseen circumstances" the band cancelled the remainder of their tour. After five months of in-activity, in March 2011, they announced their closure on their Facebook page as Gass, Konesky and Rothacker formed Kyle Gass Band.

Reunion (2018–present)
The band reunited at a Wynchester show (which features Konesky) at the Maui Sugar Mill Saloon on February 2, 2018, making a short on-stage appearance. This was due to both Gass and Reed being in attendance at the show, also Spiker performing with Wynchester as a guest. The drumming position in the band was filled with Wynchester's Matt Lesser, instead of Nate Rothacker. A couple of days after this, the band announced a show on their Facebook page at DiPiazza's in Long Beach, California for February 24, opening for Kyle Gass Band. This show being a full-band reunion with Rothacker on drums. In April, the band posted a photo of themselves in a recording studio on their Facebook and Instagram pages. The band also announced a September tour – playing nine dates throughout California. A few dates after the announcement of the tour, the band revealed they were working on a second studio album.

In July 2020, the band made a virtual appearance for Rootstock Music Festival, and in August 2020, the band made an appearance for Stand Up For America.

In early 2022, the band released a lyric video for a new song "Commin' in Hot" as well as an audio recording of another new song, "Can't, Got the Lady". A series of West Coast tour dates were announced as well, however only a handful were played in the end due to COVID-19 issues. The band also cancelled what would have been their first European tour due to COVID-19 complications.

In the summer of 2022, the band celebrated their 20th anniversary with a countdown on their social media.

This is 23 karat (23 carat), isn't it? Why isn't that mentioned? Why just the decimal approximation? Gene Nygaard 22:22, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The carat system is never used for silver, only applied to gold and platinum. Carat article needs to say that. --mervyn 07:43, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The weight fraction of silver was a unit pound, divided into 12 ounces of 20 pennyweight (dwt). English silver coins like the shilling were minted either at 11 oz, or 11 oz 2 dwt.  The fineness here is 11 oz 10 dwt.  Note also that the carat is four grains, even by fineness.  See eg "Measures, Weights, and Moneys if All Nations" by W.S.B.Woolhouse (1891).--Wendy.krieger (talk) 10:12, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Setting up WikiProject Silverware?
Would anyone be interested in helping to set up a WikiProject Silverware? I'm interested in salvers, coffee pots, jugs, candlesticks, famous silversmiths, different styles, etc. Thanks. Girlwithgreeneyes (talk) 11:31, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
