# Bobby Young

Robert George Young (January 22, 1925 – February 4, 1985) was an American professional baseball player. He played all or part of eight years in Major League Baseball, primarily as a second baseman. He played most of his career for the St. Louis Browns/Baltimore Orioles franchise.
Born in Granite, Maryland, he was first signed by the St. Louis Cardinals before the 1946 season, and appeared in three games for them in 1948 before being traded to the crosstown Browns in June 1949. He was the Browns' regular second baseman from 1951 to 1953, tying for the American League lead in double plays as a 1951 rookie with 118, and leading the league again in 1952 with 127.
He continued as the starting second baseman after the team relocated to Baltimore before the 1954 season, and was in fact the first player signed to a contract that year. But the move closer to his hometown did not produce strong results, and his batting average – which had hovered around the .250 mark – slipped to .245 in 1954 and to .199 in early 1955, leading to his trade to the Cleveland Indians in June. He played only 18 games for Cleveland over the rest of the season, and one game in 1955; his contract was sold to the Philadelphia Phillies in June 1957, and he appeared in 32 games for the Phillies in 1958, ending his career. Young batted .249 with 15 home runs and 137 runs batted in in 687 career games. Defensively, he recorded a .980 fielding percentage.
In 1953, Young was invited to join Jackie Robinson's fall barnstorming tour. In previous years, the tour had included only African American major leaguers, who faced off against Negro league stars. Young, Gil Hodges, Ralph Branca and Al Rosen joined the groundbreaking interracial tour of the South, which began in Baltimore and concluded in Houston. Rosen was injured early on and returned home but the other three White players continued. In Birmingham, where an ordinance forbade racial mixing in athletic events, they were forced to sit in the stands or risk arrest.
Young spent part of 1957 with the Miami Marlins of the International League, where he, Woody Smith, Mickey Micelotta, and Pancho Herrera were considered to be one of the best infields in the International League, with one writer saying, "they make plays the Phillies couldn't make."
He died of a heart attack at age 60 in Baltimore.
# The Beaver County Times

The Beaver County Times is a daily newspaper published in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, United States, serving suburban Beaver County northwest of Pittsburgh. It is the sole newspaper covering Beaver County. The Times has previously produced several online video series, including its flagship news program The Times Today, Game On, History in a Minute, Get Out This Weekend, and more. Archival issues of The Beaver County Times can be viewed online at Google News.

## History

The Times is the result of the merger of many of Beaver County's newspapers, starting with the Beaver Minerva, first published in 1807 and generally believed to have been the county's first newspaper. The Beaver Times was founded by Michael Weyland and was published from 1851 to 1895, when the name was changed to the Beaver Argus. It was changed again to The Daily Times from 1909 to 1946. It was sold in 1946 to S. W. Calkins, who combined it with his 1943 acquisition Aliquippa Gazette. This paper was known as The Beaver Valley Times until 1957, when it became The Beaver County Times after its acquisition of the Ambridge Daily Citizen. In 1979, The Times purchased the last remaining competing daily newspaper in the county, The News Tribune of Beaver Falls. In April 1997, the paper switched from an evening print to morning.
Times owner Calkins Media was acquired by GateHouse Media in 2017, and GateHouse was merged into Gannett in 2019. Since 2017, The Beaver County Times has experienced massive cuts in staff, as well as the newspaper's coverage.
# Petr Maděra

Petr Maděra (July 10, 1970, Ostrov nad Ohří) is a Czech poet and novelist.
After graduating from a grammar school, he studied landscape engineering at the Agricultural College in Prague. He specialised mainly in landscape architecture, dendrology and pisciculture. After that, he worked as an educator of the blind, and also as a landscape environmentalist for the district authorities in Prague-East. At the end of the 1990s, he took part in editing the Weles magazine, an important platform for the most recent poets. Nowadays he is dealing with applied graphics and works as an editor of a number of geology-oriented magazines and publications. He lives with his wife and two sons in Prague.

## Works

His work is characterized by very original poetics as far as both imagery and austere, distinctly polished expression are concerned. These qualities refer to the inspiration by Vladimír Holan's poetry. Together with the collections of poetry by Bogdan Trojak, Petr Hruška, Petr Borkovec, Pavel Kolmačka and J. H. Krchovský, Maděra's two highly praised poetry books, Krevel and Komorní hůrka have formed the horizon of recent Czech poetry.

# The Bee (Portland newspaper)

The Bee is a newspaper based in Sellwood, a neighborhood of Portland in the U.S. state of Oregon. It was founded as the Sellwood Bee in 1906, and at various times has been known as Bee, the Milwaukee Bee, and the Sellwood-Moreland Bee. It returned to simply the Bee in 1970, and has retained the name since.
The Bee was mentioned in Rowell's American Newspaper Directory the year after it launched. From its earliest days until recent history, the Bee has earned favorable mentions, as well as quotation or republication in, publications ranging from those in nearby St. Johns (which had common ownership with the Bee for some years) to papers elsewhere in Oregon, and occasionally as far away as Iowa.
At the time of the Bee's founding, Sellwood had 5,000 to 6,000 residents. The paper was founded as a weekly publication with an annual subscription cost of US$1. Citing boycotts and labor costs, founders Charles Ballard and C. T. Price moved the Bee to neighboring Milwaukie about four months into publication, changing its name to the Milwaukee Bee (with an incorrect spelling); but they returned to Sellwood eight months later, to offices the paper would occupy until the 1990s. Ballard sold his share to C. M. Thompson in 1907. Thompson and Price had some success in building up the paper, and used its pages to advocate for business interests in Sellwood's development. John P. Locke, who also owned the Nob Hill News of Northwest Portland, bought the paper in 1920, but kept Thompson on as publisher. The publisher as of 1939 was C. M. Thompson.
The paper's title was originally the Sellwood Bee (most of 1906–49); The Milwaukee Bee (briefly, during its first year); The Sellwood-Moreland Bee (1949–70); and simply The Bee (1917–18 and 1970–present)
Marcia and Tom Pry purchased the Bee in 1974 and built it into a chain of seven local papers. Marcia Pry was well known, among other things the first woman president of the Oregon Newspapers Publishing Association. The Prys also funded the launch of a long-running music magazine, The Two Louies.
The Prys sold the paper to MR Communications Group in March 1994. By December, MR announced it would shut down the Bee, and that it had sold three other Portland papers it had purchased (St. Johns Review, the oldest weekly community newspaper in Portland; Northwest Neighbor, a monthly community newspaper started in 1975 by former mayor Bud Clark; and the Hollywood Star). Teresa Wood Smith purchased the paper, preventing its demise, in 1995, and John and Carol Dillin purchased it from her in 1996.
The Pamplin Media Group bought the paper from the Dillins in 2000, a purchase that was announced concurrently with its acquisition of 10 other newspapers.
In 2006 the Bee published a four-page, 100-year anniversary retrospective.

## During Syrian Civil War

The airbase was used extensively by the Syrian Air Force during the Syrian Civil War.
On 18 May 2018, a series of massive explosions at the airbase reportedly resulted in the death of 11 people and dozens others injured or missing. According to Syrian military officials, technical failure inside the depots had caused the incident, while other sources allege it had been triggered by an Israeli airstrike or a sabotage operation by the jihadist group Saraya Al-Jihad, who claimed responsibility soon afterwards.
On 1 March 2020, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Turkish drones bombed the 47th brigade which was located in the airbase.
On 5 December 2024, HTS forces took control of the base after Syrian government forces retreated from Hama.

# Mordkhe Veynger

Mordkhe Veynger (Russian: Мордхе Вейнгер; 1890–February 4, 1929), more infrequently known as Mikhail Borisovich Veynger (Russian: Михаил Борисович Вейнгер) was a Russian and Soviet linguist. An ethnic Jew, he specialised in the study of the Yiddish language.
Born in Poltava, Russian Empire (now in Ukraine), his family moved to Warsaw when he was a child, where he studied Germanic philology at the Imperial University of Warsaw. After World War I he established himself at Minsk where he became lecturer at the Belarusian State University.
He began the first Yiddish dialect atlas, Yidisher shprakhatlas fun Sovetn-farband (Yiddish Language Atlas of the Soviet Union) in the 1920s. The atlas is limited to phonology and to Yiddish spoken within the contemporary territory of the early Soviet Union (before 1930). The latter is seen as a major drawback, because it did not include populous Mideastern (“Polish”) Yiddish.
Veynger committed suicide on February 4, 1929, allegedly over a failed love affair.

# Keys To The City (orchestral work)

Keys To The City is a one-movement orchestral concerto for piano and orchestra written by the American composer Tobias Picker for the Brooklyn Bridge Centennial.

## Commission and history

Picker, at the time in his late twenties, received a commission from The Brooklyn Bridge Centennial Commission to compose a work for the bridge's centennial. To prepare, Picker said:
   I read Hart Crane and McCullough's "The Great Bridge." I studied its history. Visiting the bridge at different times of day and night, I observed its structure, its content and its context. I watched the light play through cables composed of billions of strands of streel. I listened from the foot bridge to the whine of the cars below. I studied paintings, poems, and songs which had been made in tribute to the bridge over the years. I even gave a champagne party for my friends on it one starry midnight. And I composed furiously.
Keys To The City premiered on May 24, 1983, at the Fulton Ferry Landing underneath Brooklyn Bridge.
