It provides sports and leisure services to approximately 2.7million members and caters for 3.2million visitors each month.
As a leisure management company, its usual modus operandi is to bid for the rights to managing a wide variety of council-owned leisure properties, including swimming pools, gyms, outdoor athletics centres, outdoor football, hockey and tennis courts and sports halls. Most of its sites, however, have a combination of some or all of these facilities.

## History

Founded in 1987 by ex-CEO, Stephen Hulme, Everyone Active’s first centre in Hinckley, Leicestershire, opened in 1988, in partnership with Hinckley and Bosworth Council. Although the company no longer runs that centre, its headquarters are still located in this same Leicestershire town.

## Swimming

Of its 200-plus centres, the majority have at least one swimming pool, all of which host swimming lessons. Alongside the lessons, its pools also provide sessions for fitness swimming, fun swimming, inflatables and aqua aerobics sessions.

## Fitness

The company has approximately 128 gyms and fitness suites across its estate of over 160 centres, which include a variety of equipment, such as cardiovascular and weight-training apparatus. Customers can work out independently, as part of an instructor-led small group, or with a personal trainer.
Everyone Active also runs group exercise classes in around 120 of its centres.

## Activities

Many of Everyone Active’s centres also include sports halls, squash courts, tennis courts, climbing walls and outdoor football pitches – both artificial and grass – while some centres even include athletic facilities, ski slopes and a velodrome. All of these facilities are available to hire to the company’s members and members of the general public on a pay-as-you-go basis.

## Everyone Events

This branch of the company helps clients to organise a wide variety of events to be hosted at the company’s centres.
# Alatra (region)

Alatra was an ancient region of Anatolia and one of the lands of the Assuwa coalition that opposed the Hittites. It is mentioned in the Annals of Tudḫaliya and possibly in a later Iron Age stela.

## Geography

The site has yet to be archaeologically located. Woudhuizen noted the similarity to the Luwian word for "army camp" (kwalatarna) and suggested it was sited at Kaunos in ancient Caria. A funerary stelea at Carchemish dated to the 800s BC makes reference to "the people of Kwalatarna and Tlawa", a grouping that includes a site in classical Lycia. Thonemann locates it at classical Toriaeum.

## History

Alatra is named as one of the lands that comprised the Assuwa coalition, a military confederacy of twenty-two towns that opposed the Hittite army as it campaigned west of the Maraššantiya:
   But when I turned back to Hattusa, then against me these lands declared war: [—]lugga, Kispuwa, Unaliya, [—], Dura, Halluwa, Huwallusiya, Karakisa, Dunda, Adadura, Parista, [—], [—]waa, Warsiya, Kuruppiya, [—]luissa, Alatra, Mount Pahurina, Pasuhalta, [—], Wilusiya, Taruisa. [These lands] with their warriors assembled themselves...and drew up their army opposite me...
The reference to Kwalatarna is nearly 600 years later and is in the context of a sacrifice to the Sun goddess of Arinna.
# Devič

The Devič Monastery (Serbian: Манастир Девич, romanized: Manastir Devič; Albanian: Manastiri i Deviçit) is a Serbian Orthodox abbey in Kosovo. It was built in 1434 and is dedicated to St Joanikije of Devič. Devič was declared Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1990, and it is protected by the Republic of Serbia.

## History

The founder of the monastery is Despot Đurađ Branković, who had it built in memory of his daughter. In the Ottoman census from 1455, the monastery is mentioned as the church of the Theotokos (dedicated to The Entry of the Most Holy Theotokos into the Temple). During Turkish occupation the monastery was pulled down, but the church and the site with the grave of St. Joanikije was reconstructed, and was painted in 1578.
The monastery was destroyed and burnt down during World War II in 1941 by forces of the Albanian Fascist Party, the prior Damaskin Bošković was killed, and Italian troops disassembled the two big bells and took them away in 1942. It was rebuilt in 1947.
Devič was a target of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) in 1999. The monastery was vandalized and all food and two cars were stolen. The marble tomb of the patron saint St. Joannicius of Devič was desecrated by local Albanian in June 1999. Since then it has been under the constant protection of French KFOR troops.
It was the target of new attacks by Albanians in the most serious unrest in Kosovo on 18 March 2004 when the nuns were evacuated for safety reasons by Danish KFOR troops. Following that the monastery was pillaged and torched. The Serbian Orthodox Church received confirmation of the monastery's plight the following day from the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK).

# Rangiātea Church

Rangiātea Church is a Māori Anglican church located in Ōtaki, in the Kāpiti Coast District on the North Island of New Zealand. The original church was completed in 1851. On 7 October 1995 the church was destroyed by arson. At the time of its destruction, the church was the oldest Māori Anglican church in New Zealand.
A replica of the destroyed building was completed in 2003; however, historic carvings were lost.

## First church building

In 1848, Te Rauparaha who had just returned to Ōtaki issued the challenge of building the church to the chief of Ngāti Wehi Wehi, who accepted. Te Rauparaha thrust into the ground a sword he had been given by Governor George Grey, saying: "Tokina to mea nei. Kua mutu taku ruri ki te Whenua. Ka ruri au ki te Rangihoatu. Hanga he whare karakia ma tatau.’ [Come and take possession of this weapon. I no more seek honour on earth. I seek honour in heaven. Go to and build us a church.] Rangiātea Church was built under the direction of Te Rauparaha and English missionary Octavius Hadfield. Te Rauparaha died in 1849 and contemporary sources say he was buried near the front of the church, though he may have later been secretly reinterred on Kapiti Island.
Sacred soil was placed in the foundations where the church would stand. This soil had reputedly been brought from to New Zealand on the Tainui canoe from Rangiatea or Ra'iatea in the Leeward Islands and kept safe for centuries.
During the original construction of the church in the late 1840s, large tōtara logs had to be floated down rivers at nearby Ohau and Waikawa. The ridge pole and the three central pillars of the church were each created from single logs. The rafters and wall slabs were also made from tōtara. The church was eighty feet long by thirty-six wide, and forty high, and could accommodate up to 900 people.
The design of the church is unusual in that it incorporates ideas from both English and Māori church design. The walls were formed of large pieces of tōtara about three feet apart, with the spaces in between filled in with tukutuku panels. The rafters are painted with kowhaiwhai patterns. The curved sanctuary railing of black maire wood was carved in a Māori style, with each post having a different design. Stylised figures were not used because some Europeans at the time would have found them offensive in a church, though carvings of six demigods were included on a pulpit installed in 1950. The fenestration and flooring were done by English carpenters. A carpenter named Edward Prince, who had arrived in Wellington in 1841, was employed in making the window frames, as well as some other unspecified work.
Services were first held in 1849, before the church was entirely finished.

### Restorations

Rāngiatea Church's first documented restoration took place in 1886. In 1911 buttresses were added to the exterior of the church and the shingle roof was replaced with one of corrugated iron. In 1948 tukutuku panels were restored in preparation for the church's centenary, which was held in 1950.

## Arson

On 7 October 1995 the church was burnt down in an arson.
# No. 14 chair

The No. 14 chair is the most famous chair made by the Thonet chair company. Also known as the "bistro chair", it was designed in the Austrian Empire by Michael Thonet and introduced in 1859, becoming the world's first mass-produced item of furniture. It is made using bent wood (steam-bending), and the design required years to perfect. With its affordable price and simple design, it became one of the best-selling chairs ever made. Gebrüder Thonet sold 50 million No. 14s between 1859 and 1930, and the company's successor-organisations have sold millions more since then. "It represents the best example of a design which has been refined to the point where there is no way to improve it."
Thonet's No. 14 comprises six pieces of steam-bent wood, ten screws, and two nuts. The wooden parts were made by heating beechwood slats to 100 °C (212 °F), pressing them into curved cast-iron moulds, and then drying them at around 70 °C (158 °F) for 20 hours. The chairs could be mass-produced by unskilled workers and disassembled to save space during transportation.
Later chairs, as illustrated here, were made of eight pieces of wood: two diagonal braces were added between the seat and back, to strengthen this hard-worked joint.
The design met a requirement for café-style chairs. The seat was often made of woven cane or palm, because the holes in the seat would let spilt liquid drain off the chair.
Chair No 14 is still produced by Gebrüder Thonet, Vienna, by Ton, and by Thonet (as 214).

## Design classic

The No. 14 chair is widely regarded as a design classic. It earned a gold medal when it was shown at the 1867 World Exposition in Paris. It has been praised by many designers and architects, including Le Corbusier, who said "Never was a better and more elegant design and a more precisely crafted and practical item created."

## Redesign

As the original design is now in the public domain, there have been many new versions. In 1961, a plastic version was made by IKEA. In 2009, the chair was redesigned by James Irvine, an English designer, and retailed from Muji, a Japanese company. Roland Ohnacker, managing director of Thonet, stated that the aim was "to help 18 to 35 year-olds enter the Thonet brand world."

# Lee Academy (Mississippi)

Lee Academy is a grade 7–12 private school in Clarksdale, Mississippi. The school opened in 1970 as a segregation academy, with an initial enrollment of 654 students. In 1970, when Clarksdale submitted to integration, the public schools closed for an "integration break". When they reopened after a one-day hiatus, nearly all of the white students transferred to Lee or other segregation academies.
As of 1986, the school had never had a black student. The headmaster at the time, Gene Barbour, told a newspaper that the school "would admit blacks as long as they were cultured or want a college prep background. We wouldn't take any shuckers or jivers."
In 2001, Bob Ellard, the former Clarksdale Municipal School District superintendent, recalled that the opening of Lee Academy was "the worst thing that ever happened to our schools." He explained that when the public schools integrated, most white families "ran" to private schools.
Many members of the football team at Coahoma County High School transferred to Lee Academy as integration via court order was about to occur.
As of February 25, 2020, the school's official history page stated that the school was founded in part to ensure "retention of local control of policies". At the same time, the school's mission statement says that Lee "welcome[s] the application of students and staff members of any race, religion, color and/or origin and do not discriminate against individuals of such groups."
As of 2010, 92% of the students at Lee Academy were white, while at Clarksdale High School 92% were black.
