# Zubot and Dawson

Zubot and Dawson were a folk duo from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, that consisted of Jesse Zubot on fiddle and Steve Dawson on guitar. They played largely folk-inspired acoustic music and released three albums. They toured both North America and Europe. In 2003 they won a Juno Award for the album Chicken Scratch.

## History

Dawson attended Berklee School of Music and began to work together with Jesse Zubot as the Spirit Merchants, which involved had a constantly changing rhythm section. With a changing focus, Zubot and Dawson reduced the project to a duo, using their own names, with a more acoustic focus. In order to have their material released, Dawson set up his own label, Black Hen. Their first album, Strang was a reference to a self-proclaimed genre, while their album Tractor Parts: Further Adventures In Strang (2000), was nominated for a Juno Award in 2001. They released their final album Chicken Scratch in 2002, which received the 2003 Juno Award for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year for a Group. The duo ceased to function as Dawson preferred to focus on his production work and reduce his travel commitments and Zubot wanted to stretch out musically into other genres as well as concentrate on album production and film scoring.

## Members

Zubot plays fiddle and mandolin as well as electric mandolin while Dawson plays acoustic, tremolo acoustic, National tricone and Weissenborn Hawaiian guitar. While the group started as a duo, other players were added over the years. Andrew Downing joined Zubot and Dawson as a double bass player. Elliot Polsky joined the group as percussion player. The group also occasionally features musical friends such as Bob Brozman and Kelly Joe Phelps.
Dawson and Zubot both participate in the project Great Uncles of the Revolution.

# Thomas W. White (Massachusetts politician)

Thomas W. White (January 10, 1876 – August 12, 1959) was an American politician, aide, and campaign manager in Massachusetts.

## Early life

White was born on January 10, 1876, in Newton, Massachusetts. He attended Newton Public Schools and the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and worked as a druggist.

## Career

White was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1910 to 1914. He was chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee during his final term. In 1915 he was appointed to the state's commission of economy and efficiency. In 1916 he was appointed Massachusetts' first deputy supervisor of administration. In 1922, the office of supervisor of administration was replaced by the Commission of Administration and Finance. White was appointed to a seat on the commission and given the position of commissioner of personnel and standardization. In 1924, White was appointed chairman of the board and budget commissioner.
White was a personal friend of U.S. President Calvin Coolidge. They first met during the 1911 Massachusetts gubernatorial election when both men campaigned for Louis A. Frothingham and later served in the state legislature together. During the 1924 Republican Party presidential primaries, White managed Coolidge's campaign in Massachusetts. After Malcolm Nichols won the 1925 Boston mayoral election, Coolidge appointed White to succeed Nicholas as the state's Collector of Internal Revenue. He was sworn in on November 30, 1925. He remained in office until 1933, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt chose not to reappoint him.
White managed Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.'s 1936 campaign for the United States Senate and Leverett Saltonstall's 1938 gubernatorial campaign. He served as Lodge's secretary from 1937 to 1941.
In addition to his work at the state level, White also served nine years on the Newton board of aldermen. In 1933, he challenged incumbent Mayor Sinclair Weeks, but was defeated by a 2 to 1 margin.

## Later life and death

In 1944, White purchased an interest in the Wonderland Greyhound Park. It was alleged that the track had sold the shares to White at below market value in order to gain influence with Governor Saltonstall, however, in a 1948 decision, Judge Frank J. Donahue found that the purchase price was not "grossly inadequate". White died on August 12, 1959, at his home in Newton Upper Falls. He was predeceased by his wife, the former Susan C. Page.
# Francesco Noletti

Francesco Noletti, also known as Francesco Fieravino (1611, Valletta? – 4 December 1654, Rome) was an Italian still-life painter. He was often referred to by his nickname, Il Maltese.

## Biography

A native of Malta, he was first recorded working in Rome during the time of Pope Alexander VII; painting still-lifes with Pietro Cesarini [it], a Knight of Malta, as his patron. Long confused with an artist named Benedetto Fioravanti, who painted similar still-lifes, his works were also often attributed to an otherwise unknown painter named Francesco Fieravino. It was only in this century that the discovery of an anonymous portrait at the University of Malta led to the firm establishment of his identity.
He is mentioned for the first time in the inventories of the Barberini family, between 1631 and 1636, as the creator of "six oil papers with various flowers". As late as 1661, a certain "Francesco Maltese" is mentioned as a specialist in paintings with ornate carpets. In the absence of signed works, two etchings published in 1703 by Jacobus Coelemans served as the basis for establishing his style.
It has been certified that, as of 1642, he had settled permanently in Rome; first on the Via Margutta, then on the Via Laurina, where he worked with Andrea Sacchi and got married. His death certificate from 1654 describes him as a "famous painter".
His works were much sought after during his lifetime, but he was soon forgotten after his death. He was briefly referenced by Joshua Reynolds in his Catalogue of Famous Painters, as a "painter of vases, instruments, carpets and still-lifes".

# 1963 Gillette Cup final

The 1963 Gillette Cup Final was a cricket match between Sussex County Cricket Club and Worcestershire County Cricket Club played on 7 September 1963 at Lord's in London. It was the first final of the Gillette Cup, which was the first English domestic knock-out competition between first-class sides. Sussex won the match by fourteen runs.

## Background

During the 1950s and early 1960s, county cricket clubs were struggling to get good attendances at County Championship matches, and although The World of Cricket described there being "misgivings among the more conservatively minded", the 65-overs-a-side Knockout Cup was played for the first time in 1963. Sussex overcame Kent, Yorkshire and Northamptonshire to reach the final, while Worcestershire beat Surrey, Glamorgan and Lancashire.

## Match
### Summary

The final was played in front of a sell-out crowd of 24,000 people at Lord's Cricket Ground in London on 7 September 1963. Sussex won the toss, and their captain Ted Dexter elected to bat first. Jim Parks, Jr. was Sussex' leading run-scorer, with 57 runs, and his side were bowled out for 168, with just under 5 of their allocated 65 overs remaining. In their response, Worcestershire had to contend with drizzle and fading light while they were batting. Dexter made use of the conditions, by selecting his fastest bowler, John Snow, to bowl. Worcestershire struggled to play him, and Snow took three wickets, and only conceded 13 runs across his eight overs. A partnership between Worcestershire's final two batsmen gave them some hope of victory, but despite scoring 21 runs together, they did not manage to overhaul Sussex's total, and Sussex won the match by 14 runs to become the first winners of the Gillette Cup.

### Scorecard

* 7 September 1963 scorecard
| Sussex 168 all out (60.2 overs) | v | Worcestershire 154 all out (63.2 overs) |
| Jim Parks, Jr. 57 Norman Gifford 4/33 (15) | | Roy Booth 33* John Snow 3/13 (8) |
* Sussex won by 14 runs Lord's Cricket Ground, London Umpires: Fred Gardner and Frank Lee Player of the match: Norman Gifford (Worcestershire)

## Reaction

Dexter drew a lot of criticism for his tactics throughout the competition, and particularly in the final. The competition had been devised to attract people to cricket, and was intended to promote more attacking cricket. However, Dexter advocated a very defensive style of play, asking his bowlers to bowl at the stumps, and when Worcestershire had needed to score boundaries, he placed all nine of his fielders on the boundary edge to restrict their chances of doing so. The Daily Mirror's Brian Chapman claimed that Dexter's "tactics could eventually kill a great idea", and The Times echoed the sentiment, saying "the means on the way had, at times, been a perversion of positive cricket."
# Five Colored-Face Devils

The Five Colored-Face Devils are a set of five characters featured within the classic Chinese novel Investiture of the Gods (more commonly known as Fengshen Yanyi).
The devils, known as the Five Colored-Face Devils, are situated within a large garden near the Peony Pavilion, and have played in and guarded the pavilion for centuries. One day, Jiang Ziya begins to build a five-room villa within the territory of the five devils. The devils summon a large tornado to destroy the villa. Stones and dust are continuously thrown around while the five demons stand together within their fire whirlwind.
Once Jiang presents himself to the five demons, they all beg for mercy and ask forgiveness, arguing that the area had been their territory. In reply, Jiang tells the five demons to go to the western foothills of Mount Singling Phoenix and never return. The demons comply, and reappear as Five Roads of Gods (五路神) in Chapter 37.

# Curtained hair

Curtained hair or curtains is a hairstyle featuring a long fringe divided in either a middle parting or a side parting, with short (or shaved) sides and back.

## Origins

The Baiyue (1st millennium BCE) of modern day Vietnam appeared to keep their hair short and curtained in this style, unlike many other primitive peoples who had longer hair.
For the first couple of decades of the 20th century, a longer variant of the undercut was popular among young working-class men, especially members of street gangs. In interwar Glasgow, Neds (the precursors to the Teddy Boys) favoured a haircut that was long on top and cropped at the back and sides. Despite the fire risk, much paraffin wax was used to keep the hair in place. Other gangs who favored this haircut were the Scuttlers of Manchester and the Peaky Blinders of Birmingham, due largely to the disadvantage caused by longer hair in a street fight.

## Revival

During the late 1980s, centrally parted hair, derived from the bowl cut, made a comeback among fans of new wave, synthpop, and electronic music as an alternative to the mullets and backcombed hair worn by glam metal bands.
In the 1990s, actors such as Brendan Fraser have worn the hair style.
More recently, it has been associated with K-pop artists (e.g. members of BTS, Monsta X, and NCT).
# Gundain

# 2016 OFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament

The 2016 OFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament was the 4th edition of the OFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, the quadrennial international football competition organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) to determine which women's national teams from Oceania qualify for the Olympic football tournament.
The tournament consisted of two stages. The first stage was the Pacific Games women's football tournament, where the highest-ranked team who is a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) advanced to the second stage. The second stage was a two-legged play-off between the first stage qualifier and New Zealand, OFC's highest ranked team in the FIFA Women's World Rankings. The winner of the second stage qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics women's football tournament in Brazil.
New Zealand qualified for their third straight Olympics after the second leg of their final play-off against Papua New Guinea was cancelled due to visa issues preventing Papua New Guinea's team from travelling to New Zealand for the match.

## Teams

A total of eight OFC member national teams entered the tournament.
| Direct qualifier to second stage | Participants in first stage |
| New Zealand | Cook Islands  Fiji  New Caledonia  Papua New Guinea  Samoa  Solomon Islands  Tonga |

### Notes

    $^1$ New Caledonia, who played in the first stage, are ineligible for the Olympics as they are not affiliated to the IOC. Had they won the first stage, the runner-up of the first stage would have advanced to the second stage.

## First stage

The 2015 Pacific Games women's football tournament, held in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea between 6–16 July 2015 as part of the 2015 Pacific Games, doubled as the first stage of the qualifying tournament. The gold medal was won by Papua New Guinea, who advanced to the second stage.

## Second stage

Papua New Guinea, who advanced from the first stage, and New Zealand, who received a bye to this stage, played over two legs on a home-and-away basis. The draw for the order of legs was held on 16 November 2015 at the OFC Headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand. The matches were originally to be played in October 2015, but were later moved to January 2016.

# Vildagliptin

Vildagliptin, sold under the brand name Galvus among others, is an oral anti-hyperglycemic agent (anti-diabetic drug) of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor class of drugs. Vildagliptin inhibits the inactivation of GLP-1 and GIP by DPP-4, allowing GLP-1 and GIP to potentiate the secretion of insulin in the beta cells and suppress glucagon release by the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.
The most common side effects include dizziness.
It was approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2007. The European Medicines Agency has also approved a combination of vildagliptin and metformin, vildagliptin/metformin (Eucreas by Novartis) as an oral treatment for type-2 diabetes.
Vildagliptin has been shown to reduce hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

## Medical uses

Vildagliptin is indicated, as an adjunct to diet and exercise, to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes as monotherapy in people in whom metformin is inappropriate due to contraindications or intolerance; and in combination with other medicinal products for the treatment of diabetes, including insulin, when these do not provide adequate glycemic control.

## Adverse effects

The most common side effects include dizziness.
