# Iraj Weeraratne

Iraj Weeraratne (born 21 February 1981) known by the stage-name IRAJ, is a Sri Lankan rapper, music producer and DJ. Weeraratne had a television show on TV Derana called Iraj Show. He was the first person to introduce Sinhala rap as well as Tamil rap to Sri Lanka in 2004.

## Career

He won the best keyboardist title which was awarded by Guildhall Music School at the age of 16. He later teamed up with his schoolmates Ranidu Lankage and Yauwana Wigneswaran to form a band titled Zealots while still studying at the Royal College, Colombo. He owns the Bongohd firm in Bangladesh.
His first South Indian composition together with Vijay Anthony featured in the 2009 Tamil film, Vettaikaaran, starring Kollywood star Vijay and was ranked number one in the Chennai Charts.
In August 2020, he was appointed as the board member of National Youth Service Council by Namal Rajapaksa and he was supposed to serve in the relevant position for a period of three years. However, a year later after his appointment he resigned from the position citing unavoidable poor work-related commitments.

## Political activities

During several election periods in Sri Lanka, Iraj engaged in activism on social media platforms in support of the Rajapaksa family. Iraj has been accused of participating in propaganda campaigns to promote the party he supports to the public. He has been more involved in the media and acts as a public figure that has exacerbated these allegations.
In 2023, Iraj has been sitting under heavy backlash and calls for boycotts due to his affiliation with Namal Rajapaksa and Yoshitha Rajapaksa. His public support for the Gotabaya Rajapaksa government during the Galle Face 2022 Sri Lankan protests met with criticism. Critics highlighted his social media posts condemning the protestors and saw his work in countering their efforts to breed discontent among activists and citizens. It was fed by numerous incidents, including last May when a group of protestors stoned his family home, a moment of escalating tensions between the government and citizens during Sri Lankan economic crisis.

# Vess Quinlan

Vess Quinlan is an American cowboy poet, whose work has been published in many books and magazines, as well as on various online poetry databases. His writing is based on his real life experiences as a rancher.

## Early life and education

Vess Quinlan was born in Eagle, Colorado on November 23, 1940, and is part of the fourth generation on both sides of his family to spend most of their lives working at raising livestock in rural Colorado. He also spent time in Pueblo.
His initial interest in poetry was sparked during a year-long bout with polio as a boy in 1951 at the age of 10 and he has been a contributor to Range Magazine since at least 1958. During his time confined to bed, he began reading and writing poetry of the Cowboy variety. At the age of 15, he ran away from home and worked as a ranch chore boy and cattle hand. Quinlan was one of the leading exponents of open form poetry in cowboy poetry, which influenced others such as Rod McQueary and Bill Jones to try open form poetry.

## Cowboy poetry conventions

Until the 1980s, Cowboy poetry was an underrepresented aspect of the Western Lifestyle. That changed in January 1985, when the first Cowboy Poets gathering was held in Elko, Nevada, and the genre attained broader recognition. Quinlan attended the first Elko Gathering and has often been invited to perform at gatherings that developed in other states including the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. These conventions offer not only traditional poetry, but also cowboy music, which is not traditional country music and much more of the like.

## Personal life

Quinlan lives in Alamosa, Colorado and has a daughter named Lisa who is also a poet.
# The Alan Burke Show

The Alan Burke Show is a syndicated talk show that aired from (spring) 1966 to 1970.

## Format

Former news editor Alan Burke hosted the program filmed at WNEW Channel 5 in New York City. The program consisted of very pointed, sometimes caustic, exchanges between the host, the guests and the studio audience. The topics were considered controversial at the time, including abortion and sex change operations.
Rather than the celebrities and public figures that appeared on most talk shows, Burke usually hosted counterculture guests who represented the fringes of social, political and religious subjects, including witchcraft, UFOs and life after death. A television listing for 1967 announced that his guests were "The Lady Birds, five young ladies who perform as the world's first and only topless band." Other guests included a nun turned go-go dancer and a transvestite.
More mainstream celebrities appearing on the show included Allen Ginsberg, Norman Mailer, James Brown, Muhammad Ali and F. Lee Bailey.

## Broadcast history

The show initially ran for two hours (1966–1969), but was cut to one hour for its last year of broadcast (1969–1970).
Some sources note that a daily 30-minute version of the program was syndicated in larger cities under the title Dear Alan.

# Twing Buckman House

The Twing Bucknam House is a historic house on United States Route 5 south of the main village of Windsor, Vermont. Built about 1840, it is a modest brick house with a combination of features that is unique to the state and the surrounding communities. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

## Description and history

The Twing Bucknam House stands on the east side of US 5, about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) south of the southern edge of Windsor village. It is set on a built-out terrace that drops off toward the Connecticut River to the east. A railroad bridge crosses the river east of the house. The house has two parts: the street-facing front block is a 1+1⁄2-story brick-veneered post-and-beam structure, with a front-facing gable roof and end chimneys, while the rear section, built below the terrace, is a 2+1⁄2-story mid-20th century wood-frame structure with a garage at the ground level. The roof of the front section has elongated eaves, extending over side porches supported by square columns. The front facade is three bays wide, with a recessed entrance in the right bay. The recess has paneled sides, and the door is flanked by sidelight windows. The north and south sides each have secondary entrances, and the interior is arranged in a cruciform hall plan.
The house's construction date is uncertain. The 30-acre (12 ha) parcel it was originally part of includes the western abutment of the railroad bridge went through a series of owners, many of them absentee, during the 1830s and 1840s. The house was in all likelihood standing when Twing Bucknam purchased the property in 1847. The house's builder and designer are unknown, but the extended eaves and side porches are extremely rare features, unknown on other surviving period buildings in the state, or in the region across the river in New Hampshire.

# Thomas Hooman

Thomas Charles Hooman (28 December 1850 – 22 September 1938) was a leading English association football player of the Victorian era. He played for Wanderers in the 1872 FA Cup Final and was also chosen to represent England on several occasions.

## Early life

Hooman was born in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, the son of a carpet manufacturer. He attended Charterhouse School and represented the school at cricket.

## Football career

Hooman played football for Wanderers, one of the leading clubs of the 1870s, as a forward. He was described by contemporary commentators as "the fastest dribbler of the day, and an accomplished player". In 1871 he was chosen to play for the England national team in two matches against Scotland at The Oval, although these matches are not now regarded as official international matches by The Football Association. He was also chosen to play in what is now regarded as the first official international match, between England and Scotland in Glasgow in 1872, but was unavailable due to other commitments. He was also selected for teams representing Middlesex and London.
Hooman played for Wanderers in the 1872 FA Cup Final, the final of the first FA Cup competition, and helped his team to a 1–0 victory over Royal Engineers. He was still playing for the club a year later, when Wanderers played in the 1873 Final, but was unavailable on the day of the final.

## Outside football

Hooman also competed in various other sports, representing England in athletics and rowing at the Henley Royal Regatta. He was also adept at boxing and golf. Hooman took third place in the 100 yards event at the 1871 AAC Championships.
He went into business as a merchant ship broker and later as a manufacturer of Portland cement. His son Charles (born 1887), played for Kent County Cricket Club and played golf for Britain and Ireland in the first two Walker Cup competitions in the early 1920s.

## Death

Hooman died in Hythe, Kent at the age of 87 following an operation. His obituary was published in several newspapers, all of which repeated a claim that he had scored the winning goal in the 1872 Cup final. This contradicts all known contemporary newspaper reports on the match, all of which state that Morton Betts scored the Wanderers' goal. The obituaries also mention other things which Hooman "told a reporter some time ago" about the game, such as the fact that there was no referee, which are demonstrably incorrect, suggesting that in his recollections he was confusing the final with another match in which he played.
