# Roger Ball (musician)

Roger Ball (born 4 June 1944, Broughty Ferry, Scotland) is a Scottish saxophonist, keyboardist, songwriter and arranger. He is a former original member of the Average White Band (AWB).

## Biography

Ball attended the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee from 1962, studying architecture. While there he met Malcolm "Molly" Duncan and Alan Gorrie. The three of them relocated to London separately, but joined forces again in 1971 to form the nucleus of the Average White Band (AWB).
They were later joined by Onnie McIntyre, Hamish Stuart and Robbie McIntosh, completing the original line-up. These six Scots were an unlikely group to be successful playing American styled funk, but went on to be nominated for three Grammy Awards in the Rhythm & Blues category. Ball was the principal composer of "Pick Up the Pieces" which topped the US Billboard chart on 22 February 1975. It was written from a rehearsal "jam" over which he superimposed the melody line and the bridge. Since then it has been covered by many musicians and used in television programmes, films and commercials. He co-wrote a total of forty three songs for the Average White Band.
Before forming AWB in 1971, Ball was a session musician in London, arranging and playing for Vinegar Joe, Badfinger, Kiki Dee and Elton John, Mama Cass, Bryan Ferry, Roxy Music and others. He has played on stage with Chaka Khan and Marvin Gaye. As an arranger with AWB he wrote and played with Michael and Randy Brecker.
In 1995, he released his first solo album, Street Struttin' and, in 2005, his second CD, Childsplay. He cites his influences on saxophone as Johnny Hodges, John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley and, as an arranger, Oliver Nelson.
# Bare-faced ibis

The bare-faced ibis (Phimosus infuscatus), also known as the whispering ibis, is a species of bird in the family Threskiornithidae, in the monotypic genus Phimosus.

## Distribution

It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

## Description

The bare-faced ibis is either dark brown or a blackish color. It is called the bare-faced ibis because it does not have any feathers on its face. It has a long decurved bill with a pinkish to reddish brown colour. The skin on its face is usually a reddish color, and it also has long orange colored beak with pink legs. The total length of the ibis ranges between 45 and 50 cm.

## Food

The bare-faced ibis forages in most soil and along the edges of standing water. Its diet consists of insects, worms, clams, and other small invertebrates.

## Habitat

The bare-faced ibis occurs in open areas such as wet meadows, savannas, marshes, and rice fields. The ibis is usually near sea level but was recorded in Venezuela and Colombia.

## Behavior

Bare-faced ibises are usually seen in large flocks of their own species or with other species of ibis, sometimes even found with domestic animals. They live in close range neighboring amongst other flocks of ibis, typically known for the closest living habitats that range from being 100 meters away from the nearest neighbor. They are not very territorial towards other ibis birds, and are rarely found alone, but most of the time their aggression is limited to food robbery from another ibis or animal. Regarding nesting behavior, it is less aggressive when compared to other species of ibis. The males have a larger bill than the females relative to their body sizes, and sexual selection is not as intense as it is in other species. They share nests with other species as well.

## Reproduction

They usually breed in small colonies amongst their own species and the breeding usually ranges from August to December. Their nest are found in trees or shrubs, and they build platforms. They lay anywhere from 1–8 eggs, the eggs are lightly colored between green and blue and the incubation is 21–23 days and both the male and female perform it.

# ARB Canub

ARB Canub (Azerbaijani: ARB Cənub; Azerbaijani pronunciation:; lit. 'ARB South') is an Azerbaijani privately owned regional terrestrial television channel owned by ARB Media Group, serving southern Azerbaijan. It began operations on 31 December 2007 as Canub Television, being rebranded into its current form in 2016. ARB Canub is headquartered at Mirmustafa Khan Street in the city of Lankaran.

## History

A competition was announced on 6 June 2007 by the National Television and Radio Council and subsequently held in order to replace Lankaran TV, which ceased operations on 18 June due to reasons relating to state financing of the television channel, which is illegal according to Azerbaijani law. In the whole competition, there was only one applicant, "Canub TV" or "CTV". Therefore, the frequency was to be transferred to Canub TV after the competition ended on 20 August.
Its license to broadcast for six years was granted by the National Television and Radio Council to CTV in September 2007. However, official transmissions would begin on 31 December 2007, broadcasting from 9:00 (AZT) in the morning to 2:00 (AZT) at midnight. In its early years, the channel was receivable in all of the Lankaran-Astara Economic Region, as well as the Bilasuvar District. It later expanded to cover 22 regions in the south.
The channel inaugurated its new headquarters building on 8 October 2008. It produced the film Təlatüm in 2011 through its film production studio CTV Cinema, which was broadcast on the channel. In 2014, Canub TV was one of the six regional television stations in Azerbaijan that formed the Region TV network. The programming of CTV was distributed nationwide through Region TV. It competed with ANS TV in the southern region. Canub TV adopted the ARB branding on 19 September 2016 as it was renamed as ARB Canub.

# Slab climbing

In rock climbing a slab climb (or friction climb) is a type of climbing route where the rock face is 'off-angle' and not fully vertical. While the softer angle enables climbers to place more of their body weight on their feet, slab climbs maintain the challenge by having smaller holds. Some of the earliest forms of rock climbing were on large easy-angled slabs encountered by climbers while mountaineering (e.g. the Idwal slabs in Wales or the Flatirons in Colorado), however, the introduction of advanced rubber-soled shoes enabled climbers to use the technique of 'smearing' to ascend steeper and blanker slabs.
Slab climbs on rock surfaces with good friction, such as granite or sandstone, emphasize the foot technique of 'smearing', and thus can have almost no hand holds for very hard routes. In contrast, slab climbs on rock surfaces with poorer friction, such as quartzite or slate, emphasize the foot-and-hand techniques of 'crimping' and 'edging' on small edges in the rock. Regardless of the surface, slab climbing emphasizes balance and body positioning, and is often considered a 'pure form' of rock climbing, less reliant on physical strength and power — and it is thus considered a core skill for novice climbers.
The lack of holds and features gives a greater sense of exposure and falls are painful due to scraping against the face, making slabs feel intimidating. On advanced slab-routes, the lack of options for inserting protection makes traditional climbing challenging (e.g Prinzip Hoffnung) or dangerous (e.g. Indian Face). Slab climbing can be confused with face climbing which is on vertical rock, with Tommy Caldwell telling Climbing in 2023, "you have to be able to stand there and let go without tipping over backwards", and Paige Classen adding "I would define slab as an angle, not a style".
California is particularly notable for its abundance of high-quality granite slabs (e.g., Suicide Rock), with routes such as Tommy Caldwell and Beth Rodden's Lurking Fear on El Capitan, one of the world's hardest multi-pitch slab-routes. English climber Johnny Dawes was notable for his 'smearing' technique and his ability to climb extreme slab-routes without using his hands. Dawes made the first free ascent of Indian Face and pioneered slab climbing on bolted sport climbing slate routes. One of the world's hardest slab climbs was The Meltdown 9a (5.14d), a 1980s Dawes project in Twll Mawr, that was only climbed by James Mchaffie in 2012. By 2024, it was joined by the two 9b (5.15b) graded slab-routes of Cryptography (in Switzerland) and Disbelief (in Canada), as well as the neighboring line of The Dewin Stone at 9a+ (5.15a).

# Hyde Park Corner (film)

Hyde Park Corner is a 1935 British comedy crime film, directed by Sinclair Hill and starring Gordon Harker, Binnie Hale and Eric Portman. Harker portrays a policeman investigating a crime in 1930s London, which proves to have its origins in the 1780s. The film takes its name from Hyde Park Corner in Central London where the events of the film occur. It was based on a play by Walter C. Hackett. The film was made at Welwyn Studios.

## Synopsis

In the 1780s, after an evening of illegal gambling, two of the participants fight a duel in which the wronged party is killed by a villain, who has just cheated to win a newly built house at Hyde Park Corner from him. Officer Cheatle of the Bow Street Runners is able to arrest those present for gambling, but is unable to prove that a murder has occurred.
A hundred and fifty years later, the Officer's great-grandson, Constable Cheatle, is intrigued by reports of another murder at the same house at Hyde Park Corner. Cheatle sees this as a way of fulfilling his ambition to join the plainclothes detective branch. His attempts to solve the case are initially interrupted by Sophie, a petty criminal whom he arrests while she is shoplifting in a department store. Eventually, with her help, he is able to uncover the true culprit of the crime that has its roots in the fatal evening in the eighteenth century.

# Fatima Babiker Mahmoud

Fatima Babiker Mahmoud (Arabic: فاطمة بابكر محمود) is a Sudanese-born socialist feminist.

## Biography

She graduated from the University of Khartoum and earned her doctorate at the University of Hull. Her doctoral thesis was the basis of her most-frequently cited work, The Sudanese Bourgeoisie:Vanguard of Development? in which she traced the historical development of the modern Sudanese bourgeoisie and concluded that it had no progressive role to play in the development of Sudan.
The Pan-African Women's Liberation Organisation (PAWLO) was established at the time of the 7th Pan-African Conference in Kampala, Uganda in April 1994, and Mahmoud became its founding President. Addressing the first meeting of PAWLO, she said:
   "African women share a common history, a common conceptual framework in understanding our reality in order to change it, and common enemies and friends within and outside Africa. We have similar challenges to face and a better future to look forward to. There is now a serious need for a new Pan African Women's organisation, embracing African women on the continent and in the diaspora, to address these commonalities."
Mahmoud has previously served as a member of the Editorial Advisory Board for the Journal of Gender Studies.
