# Robert Panitzki

Robert Panitzki (born 29 April 1948) is an Australian former cricketer. He played four first-class matches for Tasmania between 1973 and 1976.
# Tarrik Brock

Tarrik Jumaan Brock (born December 25, 1973) is an American former professional baseball player and current coach. He is the first base coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball (MLB). An outfielder who batted and threw left-handed, he played part of one season in MLB for the Chicago Cubs. He has coached in MLB for the Houston Astros and San Diego Padres.

## Playing career

Brock was originally drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 2nd round of the 1991 amateur draft. Of the eleven second-round draftees who made the major leagues, he was the last to make his debut. After six years in the Tigers' system, spent mostly at the A-ball level, Brock was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the Rule 5 draft. Brock spent two seasons in Seattle's minor league system before being released in January 1999.
On April 8 of that year, Brock was signed by the Colorado Rockies and assigned to their AA affiliate, Carolina. He was sent to the Cubs on July 7 as the player to be named later in a trade made on March 28, before he was even under contract with the Rockies. The Rockies in return obtained two prospects, John Cotton and Kevin Rawitzer, neither of whom made the major leagues.
Brock hit only .217 in 54 games with the Cubs' AA affiliate at West Tennessee that season, but nevertheless made the Cubs' major league roster in spring training of 2000. He made his major league debut on March 29, 2000, appearing as a left fielder in the Cubs' Opening Day game against the New York Mets in the Tokyo Dome in Japan. He is the first MLB player to make his debut in Japan. He faced Rich Rodriguez in his first major league at bat and singled to right field. Sammy Sosa was thrown out at home on the play, ending the inning.
Brock stayed with the team through April 22, but struggled, managing only one other hit, a single off Vladimir Núñez on April 16. He was sent back to Iowa and never made it back to the major leagues. Brock played in the independent Northern League in 2001 and was named an All-Star, but a comeback in 2002 and 2003 with the Los Angeles Dodgers organization failed to get him back to the game's highest level. For his major league career, Brock hit .167 (2-for-12), had 4 walks, 4 strikeouts, and stole one base.

## Coaching career

In 2006, he served as a coach with the Ogden Raptors. From 2007 through 2013, Brock worked as the Florida Marlins' outfield and baserunning coordinator. During 2010, he served as interim first base coach.
In 2014, Brock was the first base coach for the Houston Astros. He joined the San Diego Padres organization as a minor league coordinator for the 2015 season, before becoming their first base coach before the 2016 season.
In 2017, he joined the Los Angeles Dodgers organization as outfield/baserunning coordinator.
Brock was hired by the Pittsburgh Pirates as their first base coach prior to the 2020 season.

# 1996 Dubai World Cup

The 1996 Dubai World Cup was a horse race held at Nad Al Sheba Racecourse on Wednesday 27 March 1996. It was the inaugural running of the Dubai World Cup.
The winner was Allen Paulson's Cigar, a six-year-old bay horse trained in the United States by Bill Mott and ridden by Jerry Bailey.
Cigar had been the dominant racehorse in the United States in 1995, winning eight Grade I races including the Breeders' Cup Classic and being voted American Horse of the Year. Before being shipped to Dubai he had added another Grade I success when winning the Donn Handicap in February. The 1996 Dubai World Cup also attracted competitors from the United Kingdom, Australia and Japan as well as four locally trained runners. Cigar took the lead a quarter of a mile from the finish and held off the challenge of Burt Bacharach's Soul of the Matter to win by half a length. L'Carriere, who had finished second to Cigar in the Breeders' Cup Classic, completed a 1-2-3 for American trained horses as he got the better of a struggle with the British colt Pentire for third place.

# John Jameson (cricketer)

John Alexander Jameson MBE (born 30 June 1941) is a former English cricketer who played in four Test matches and three One Day Internationals for the England cricket team between 1971 and 1975. Jameson played for Warwickshire County Cricket Club from 1960 until 1976.
Primarily a hard-hitting top-order batsman, Jameson was also a useful occasional off-spin or medium-pace bowler. A capable slip fielder, he occasionally kept wicket. On one occasion, Jameson was a member of a Warwickshire team that boasted three international wicket-keepers, but he had to keep wicket nonetheless: Deryck Murray was injured, Rohan Kanhai had given up keeping, and A.C. Smith had been selected for his bowling.
Cricket correspondent, Colin Bateman, noted, "Born into the era of Boycott, Edrich and Amiss, John Jameson had precious few opportunities to break into Test cricket. A brave, attacking opener who was at his best trying to hammer fast bowling out of the ground, he played a couple of Tests in 1971 but did not help his cause by being run out in three of his first four innings". He is unique in being the only England cricketer to be run out in both innings of a Test match. In addition, he is the only Test cricketer ever to be similarly dismissed in three successive Test innings.
Jameson was diagnosed with Diabetes mellitus type 2 in 2004.

## Early life and career

Jameson made his Test debut against India in 1971, scoring 82 in his second Test. His only Test tour was the West Indies tour of 1973–74, on which he was selected for one One Day International and two Tests, without personal success with the bat. He also played two ODIs during the 1975 Cricket World Cup.
Jameson scored 240 not out, his highest first-class score, against Gloucestershire at Edgbaston in 1974, sharing with Kanhai (who scored 213 not out) an unbeaten second-wicket partnership of 465, which remains a record for the second wicket in County cricket.
His brother Thomas Jameson appeared for Warwickshire and Cambridge University in 1970.

## Later career

Being born in the sub-continent, Jameson always took a special interest in South Asian cricket. He visited Bangladesh twice with Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) sides, first in 1978–79 and again in 1980–81. He became an instant hit with the cricket lovers of Dhaka, not so much for his cricket, but more for his rather bulky figure. Later on, he served Bangladesh cricket as a coach and helped in the early development of cricket in Bangladesh.
Jameson was a first-class umpire between 1984 and 1987, as well as working as a pitch inspector for the ECB. He is well known for his expertise on the laws of cricket, being called before the Daryll Hair tribunal in 2007 as an expert witness.
He coached at Sussex and was appointed MCC cricket secretary in 1989. Jameson was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2010 New Year Honours for services to cricket.

# Vardane Microdistrict

Vardane (Russian: Вардане) is a microdistrict in Lazarevsky City District of the City of Sochi in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, located on the coast of the Black Sea at the influx of the Buu River. It was formerly a stand-alone settlement before being subsumed into Sochi. The Vardane railway station of the North Caucasus railway is located here. The microdistrict has a population of 5,000 people.

## History

Vardane (formerly known as Buap and Tsopsyn) is one of the oldest settlements on the territory of present-day Sochi. Its name is of Abkhaz origin and is linked to the Vardan family, whose name can be found in the toponymy of Abkhazia as well. From the 16th century onward, the Abazin population was being constantly expelled and assimilated by Ubykhs. Vardane became the center of the Ubykh society of Vardane, which comprises land stretching from the Buu River to the Mamaysky passage. The Dzepsh royal family ruled in this society.
During the Caucasian War from 1817 to 1864, Ubykhia became under control of Imam Shamil. At that time, Magomet Amin built the one and only fortress on the territory of Vardane. In 1864, the land of Vardane and the neighboring Uch-Dere were handed over to the Grand Duke Michael Nikolaevich of Russia.

## Infrastructure

Within the microdistrict are facilities for animal husbandry and greenhouses, as well as a school, a clinic, and several recreation centers such as "Sheksna" and "Vardane".

# Volvo Island

Volvo Island is a small man-made island located in a flooded strip mine near Ottawa, Illinois, United States. The island is notable for its sole occupant: a 2001 Volvo S80 sedan, which is the reason behind its name. Since its placement in January 2012, the vehicle has remained a distinctive landmark of the area.

## History

The creation of Volvo Island was the an idea of Scott Mann, a resident of Ottawa and proprietor of two local car repair shops. The area surrounding the island was originally a strip mine that had been abandoned and subsequently filled with approximately 40 feet of standing water, forming a lake. In early 2012, Mann decided to place the Volvo on a peninsula extending into this lake. Utilizing a tow truck, the car was positioned at the end of the landmass. Subsequently, an excavator was used to remove the connecting land, effectively isolating the vehicle on its own small island.
Initially, Mann considered organizing a contest, inviting the public to guess how the car had been positioned on the island. However, due to safety concerns—specifically, the risk of individuals attempting to reach the island through deep waters—he decided against it. Nevertheless, for the fun of it, he still placed the vehicle there, hoping it would attract visitors to his shop.

## Public reception

Over the years, Volvo Island has garnered attention as a tourist attraction. The site has been visible on Google Maps and Street View since 2015, leading to increased interest and visits from those intrigued by its unique appearance. As of recent accounts, the location boasts a 4.9-star rating on Google, based on over 300 reviews. Visitors often describe it as "majestic" and a "premier tourist attraction".

## Current status

Despite its exposure to the elements over more than a decade, the 2001 Volvo S80 remains on the island, appearing relatively intact. There are no current plans to remove the vehicle or alter the island.

# New England Confectionery Company Factory

The New England Confectionery Company Factory, also known as the NECCO Candy Factory, is a historic factory complex at 250 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The property is now owned by DFS Advisors, and is under long-term lease to Novartis. The complex, which includes the factory building, a power plant, and a modern (2003) parking garage, occupies most of an entire city block bounded by Massachusetts Avenue, Cross Street, Albany Street, and Lansdowne Street. The Moderne-style building was constructed of reinforced concrete, faced predominantly with beige brick and trimmed with limestone. On some facades smooth concrete predominates as the finish surface. The building had a water tower that was painted to resemble a roll of Necco Wafers; during the alterations of the property for use by Novartis, the water tower was retained, and is now painted with a DNA pattern in pastel colors. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

## Company history

The New England Confectionery Company was formed in 1901 by the merger of three Boston-area confectioners. One of these, Ball and Fobes, had in 1860 acquired another competitor whose equipment included precursors to those used to manufacture Necco Wafers. Ball and Fobes developed methods to print writing on hard candies. It was built in 1925-27 to serve as the company's sole manufacturing facility, replacing earlier facilities (which are now part of the Fort Point Channel Historic District) in Boston, and was at the time the world's largest candy factory. The building was designed in the Moderne style by a company engineer, F. C. Lutze, and built by Lockwood & Greene. The company used the facility as its major production facility until 2003, when it consolidated operations in Revere.
