# Peninsula Oilers

The Peninsula Oilers are a college summer baseball club in the Alaska Baseball League. The Oilers are based in Kenai, Alaska, and their name refers to the Kenai Peninsula region. They are the league's southernmost team. The team was founded in 1974 and play their home games in the 1,300-seat Coral Seymour Memorial Ballpark.
The Oilers won the National Baseball Congress tournament in 1977, 1993, and 1994. They finished second in 1991, 1999, and 2011.
Several successful Major League Baseball players have played for the Oilers, including 7-time All-Star Dave Stieb, Atlee Hammaker, 4-time All-Star Jimmy Key, John Olerud, Cy Young Award winner Frank Viola and six-time Rawlings Gold Glove Award winner J.T. Snow, and several first-round picks including J. D. Drew.
The Oilers are funded mainly through donations, and through gambling revenues, especially pull tabs and bingo operations run by the team. The team's reliance on gambling eventually led them to overextend themselves on bingo, with an attempt to maintain a five-night-a-week bingo operation thwarted by the fact that the region could only reliably draw players one night a week. By 2024, the Oilers were in dire financial straits.
# Macrothelypteris torresiana

Macrothelypteris torresiana is a species of fern which is native to tropical and subtropical Africa and Asia. It has been introduced into other areas, including large parts of North and South America.
The species is assigned to different genera depending on how the family Thelypteridaceae is classified. If the entire family is classified in Thelypteris, it is Thelypteris torresiana. However, molecular data shows an affinity between a group of species which are sometimes classified in Macrothelypteris, Phegopteris, and allied genera, so it is common to remove this species from Thelypteris and classify it as Macrothelypteris torresiana.
Macrothelypteris torresiana contains flavonoids which have been investigated for possible medicinal value.

# Henry Robert Clifton

Henry Robert Clifton (born Markham; 30 December 1832 – 8 January 1896) was an English landowner who was High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire in 1875.

## Early life

Henry was born at Clifton, Nottingham, where his father rebuilt the Rectory, in 1832. He was the only son of the Rev. Henry Spencer Markham (1805-1844), Rector of St. Mary's Church, Clifton and Prebendary of York, and his wife Sophia Charlotte Kaye (a daughter of Sir John Lister Kaye, 1st Baronet).
His grandparents were Frances Clifton, daughter of Sir Gervase Clifton, 6th Baronet, and her husband the Venerable Robert Markham, Archdeacon of York.

## Career

Henry was educated at Harrow School and Christ Church, Oxford. He succeeded his cousin, Sir Robert Juckes Clifton, 9th Baronet, to the Clifton estate in Nottinghamshire in 1869. In the same year he assumed the surname and arms of Clifton in place of Markham by Royal Licence.
He served as a Justice of the Peace for Nottinghamshire, and was High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire in 1875. He made improvements to the house and grounds at Clifton Hall, Nottingham. In 1871 he provided a new school for the village at Clifton, Nottingham.

## Personal life

He married Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. William MacBean, Rector of St Peter Tavy, Devon, in 1860. They had no children.
At his death, the Clifton estates passed to his second cousin, Sir Hervey Juckes Lloyd Bruce, 4th Baronet.
# Centre of Canada

There are several ways of determining the centre of Canada giving different locations.

## Longitude

The rural village of Taché, Manitoba, east of Winnipeg on the Trans-Canada Highway, has a sign at 96°48'35"W that proclaims it the longitudinal centre of Canada. The sign was upgraded with the opening of Centre of Canada Park in 2017. In effect, it marks the north-south line midway between the extreme points of Canada on the east and west, including islands (including Newfoundland since 1949).

## Latitude

The latitudinal centre of Canada (including islands, but excluding Canada's claim to the North Pole) is a line at 62 degrees 24 minutes North.

## Intersection of latitude and longitude

The intersection of these two lines is one definition of the centre point of Canada, as explained by the Atlas of Canada's website:
   The centre of Canada can be measured in many ways. The most readily understood would be by taking the mid-point of the extremities of the Canadian landmass section, above. The resulting location 62°24′N 096°28′W﻿ / ﻿62.400°N 96.467°W﻿ / 62.400; -96.467﻿ (62 degrees 24 minutes North, 96 degrees 28 minutes West) is located just south of Yathkyed Lake in Nunavut, west of Hudson Bay.
The nearest inhabited places to this point are Baker Lake, Nunavut well to the north, and Arviat to the east. A sign that proclaims the point as the geographic centre of Canada was added in 1959.

## Pole of inaccessibility

The pole of inaccessibility of Canada (the point furthest from any coastline or land border) is near Jackfish River, Alberta at 34-115-17-W4 (Latitude: 59°1′ 48" N, Longitude: 112°49′ 12" W).
