# Don Kinch

Don Kinch (died 31 October 2024) was a Barbados-born playwright, educator and arts executive, who in 1965 migrated to England, where he made notable contributions to Black British theatre and culture, as a playwright, director and founder of theatre companies and community arts groups. Jazz saxophonist Soweto Kinch is his son.

## Background

Born in Barbados, Kinch migrated to the United Kingdom in 1965. He studied at Goldsmiths College, University of London, where he gained a BA degree in Drama and Sociology and an MA in Anthropology.
In 1975, Kinch founded the performing company Staunch Poets and Players, as well as launching and edited Staunch Magazine. In the late 1980s, he moved to Birmingham, where he developed the Third Dimension Theatre Company and the African Peoples Theatre, and in 2000 founded Nu Century Arts as a resource for new writers, musicians, directors and actors, and to "encourage young people from black communities in Birmingham to get involved in theatre, music and literature".
His plays have been performed internationally, including in the United States, the Caribbean, Africa and Europe, produced by major companies and theatres, among them the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, the West Yorkshire Playhouse, South African State Theatre, Market Theatre, at such notable festivals as Grahamstown and the Edinburgh International Festival, as well as having been broadcast on national television and radio in the UK.
Kinch's career as a teacher spanned working at a range of levels, from secondary schools to further education (City College, Birmingham) to Birmingham University.
Playwright Roy Williams, who as a teenager was mentored by Kinch, speaking at the 2024 Alfred Fagon Award ceremony described Kinch as "a writer and director who taught me more than anyone what it means to be Black and British and whose work made me fall in love with theatre."
The landmark 2012 documentary film, Margins to Mainstream: The Story of Black Theatre in Britain, was produced by Nu Century Arts, Birmingham, under Kinch's directorship, in partnership with the Octavia Foundation with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Speaking of its significance, Kinch said: "The 1978 publication of 'The Arts Britain Ignores' by Naseem Khan lifted the lid to reveal a hive of theatrical activity taking place across Black Communities. The 1990 production of Amani Napthali's 'Ragamuffin' was another seminal moment when a confident black theatre found the courage to tell its' story in its' own way. I hope that the making and sharing of Margins to Mainstream will be another such moment."

## Personal life

Kinch was married to British-Jamaican actress Yvette Harris, with whom he had three sons, the eldest being jazz saxophonist Soweto Kinch.

# Francis Billingsley

Colonel Sir Francis Billingsley (1595–1646) was a Royalist officer in the English Civil War. Placed in charge of the defences of Bridgnorth in Shropshire, he was killed in the churchyard of St Leonard's when the town was stormed by Parliamentarian troops on 31 March 1646.
His rapier was presented to the church by one of his descendants (Lois Astley) and for many years was on display in the church. It was stolen in around 2000 and has not been recovered.

## Family and background

Sir Francis was from the Billingsley family of Astley Abbotts, Shropshire, and married Eleanor Kerry in 1616.
Amongst his siblings was the celebrated horseman Sir Thomas Billingsley. Another brother was Capt. John Billingsley, who supported Parliament during the Civil War and was brother-in-law to the Regicide Daniel Blagrave.

# Hubbard Lake

Hubbard Lake is a lake in Alcona County in Northern Michigan. The lake covers 8,850 acres (35.8 km$^2$) and is seven miles (11 km) long (north-south) and two miles (3.2 km) wide. It has a maximum depth of 85 feet (26 m) with an average depth of 32.6 feet (9.9 m). The lake spans three townships: Caledonia, Alcona, and Hawes.
The lake is part of the a large tract of land (more than six million acres (24,000 km$^2$)) that was ceded by the Ojibwa, Ottawa and Potawatomi to the United States in the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw. Permanent white settlers did not begin to arrive in the area until the 1830s and 1840s. At that time, the lake was known as the "Bottomless Lake". It was also for a while known as "Coral Lake" and "Alcona Lake". In 1867, it was named "Hubbard Lake" in honor of Dr. Bela Hubbard, who was a prominent geologist in the state of Michigan.
The lake is fed by five streams. It was dammed to make it deeper for use as a float pond during the lumber boom. A concrete dam on its north end supplies power to the Alpena Power Company. "The dam, however, is capable of holding a 6.6-foot head as was maintained early this year. At the high level, wave action caused considerable damage to shore installations. According to the caretaker of the dam the lowest point possible is the 4.2-foot level."Inland Lakes of Michigan" by I. D. Scott" (1921) published by the Michigan Geological Society.
The lake is well stocked with bass, yellow perch, northern pike, trout and walleye and is a popular destination for summer angling as well as winter ice fishing. Although it is not an incorporated municipality, for statistical purposes, the U.S. Census Bureau defines the area immediately surrounding the lake as a census-designated place named Hubbard Lake. There is also a separate, small unincorporated community named Hubbard Lake located about one mile (1.6 km) north of the lake in Ossineke Township in neighboring Alpena County.

# Ice Speedway of Nations

The FIM Ice Speedway of Nations, formerly known as the Ice Speedway Team World Championship, is an international ice speedway competition, first held in Kalinin (Tver), USSR, in 1979. Since its establishment, the tournament has been noted by a continued Russian dominance: the Soviet Union, Commonwealth of Independent States and Russia have won all but three tournaments. The only non-Russian teams to have won were West Germany in 1983, and Sweden - in 1985, 1995 and 2002.
The event has not been held since 2020 initially due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

# Pears Cumbria School of Medicine

The Pears Cumbria School of Medicine (PCSM) is a medical school in Carlisle, Cumbria, England, which is a partnership between the University of Cumbria and Imperial College London, established with support from the Pears Foundation. It houses the graduate-entry medical programme of Imperial College London (A102). It was launched in November 2023 with the goal of making a difference in under-served regions and will admit its initial cohort of 58 graduate-entry medical students in September 2025. They will graduate as doctors of medicine from Imperial College London. Students will be based at the University of Cumbria's Fusehill Street Campus in Carlisle.
The school aims to "produce doctors committed to delivering cutting-edge healthcare approaches and serve the needs of their local community", and to improve health in Cumbria and north west England. It also commits to encouraging local people to consider a career in medicine and widening access to medical education. Students will be awarded their medical degree by Imperial College. Professor Mary Morrell was appointed interim head of the new school in August 2023.
First announced in April 2022, the medical school was cited in the 2023 National Health Service Long Term Workforce Plan as a "good example" of addressing geographical inequality by "focusing new medical schools and additional places in geographical areas with the greatest staff shortfalls and unmet healthcare need". In May 2024 the NHS announced that an additional eight places at Pears Cumbria would be funded, as part of an increase of 54 places across north west England, thus bringing the initial intake up to 58 students and the rate of acceptance to approximately 5% (58/1200).
The medical school will be based at the University of Cumbria's Fusehill Street Campus in Carlisle. This was a military hospital during World War I, and later Carlisle's maternity hospital, and is a grade II listed building.

# Southam United F.C.

Southam United Football Club is a football club based in Southam, Warwickshire. They are members of the Hellenic League Division One and play at Bobby Hancocks Park.

## History

Known as the “Saints”, they celebrated their centenary in 2005, having been founded in 1905 following the amalgamation of two village teams. From 1947 to 1956 the club dominated the Coventry and North Warwickshire League. They took the step up to the Midland Combination in 1980–81 and immediately won the Division Three title. When the League was reorganised in 1983–84, United were placed in the Premier Division, but after several seasons of struggle they were downgraded to Division Two when it was discovered that their pitch was now too short owing to the construction of a bowling green next to it. Finally in 1995–96 United made it back to the Premier Division after two promotions in seven years.
The 1997–98 season was the Saints' most successful as they finished as Premier Division runners up and also won the Birmingham County FA Vase with a 3–0 victory over Shirley Town, but league form since then has been disappointing, with four successive finishes in the bottom two between 2001 and 2004 seeing relegation only staved off each time by a lack of teams with acceptable facilities to be promoted.
In 2001, Saints merged with Southam Town Junior Sports Club, a progressive junior club formed in 1972, which amongst other achievements, pioneered ladies and girls football in Warwickshire.
Although finishing in 15th place in the 2009–10 seasons, Saints had finished 3rd in each of the previous two seasons and, in addition, won the Birmingham County FA Midweek Floodlit Cup in 2008–09 with a 3–1 win over Darlaston Town and won the Coventry Evening Telegraph Cup in 2010–11 with victory at the Ricoh Arena over Alvis.
The club finished bottom of Division One of the Midland Football League in 2016–17, after which the adult team ceased to exist. The team was reformed to join Division Two North of the Hellenic League for the 2019–20 season. As part of their reformation they moved to a new built ground not far from the old one. The old ground was purchased by Bloor Homes who are looking to develop properties on the site.
In 2019–20 season, they were top of the league after 17 games when the season was abandoned due to Covid-19. Following the abandoned 2020–21 season they were transferred to the Oxfordshire Senior Football League Premier Division were they finished second, gaining promotion for the 2022-23 season back to Step 6 in Division One of the Hellenic League.

# Jeep ducking

Jeep ducking, also known as Duck Duck Jeep, is a custom among owners of Jeep vehicles in which they leave rubber ducks on other Jeep brand cars.
The origins of the gesture have been attributed to Allison Parliament, a Canadian resident of Alabama, who in 2020 during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic had purchased rubber ducks to hide at a Canadian friend's house. After having been yelled at at a gas station for allegedly not observing health protocols and because of her American license plate, she stated she felt inspired to leave one of the ducks on a Jeep in a store parking lot with a simple note stating "nice Jeep" as an act of kindness. The owner of the vehicle saw Parliament commit the action of ducking, and suggested making a social media post. The post went viral, which then popularized the action. Parliament's mother announced on Facebook that she died unexpectedly of natural causes on June 22, 2024.
In 2022, it was estimated that Jeep ducking Facebook groups had around half a million members. By 2023, it had become common to see rubber ducks on the dashboard of Jeeps. Some owners only perform the gesture on certain more classic Jeep models, with some limiting it to the Jeep Wrangler model, while others are less selective. Ducking a Jeep is considered a random act of kindness; however, not all Jeep owners are enthusiastic about the practice. Drivers who are ducked use the hashtag #DuckDuckJeep to post to social media. A similar "Moo Moo Subaru" movement Facebook group launched in June 2023, aimed at promoting imitating the gesture with rubber cows on Subarus, garnering 36,000 members in six months. Owners of Mini vehicles engage in the practice of ducking as well, and some Chevolet owners have developed "sharking". Other copycat trends include "yoda yoda Toyota" and "buck buck Bronco".
Duck-themed fundraisers by Jeep owners have raised money for veterans, hearing centers, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. BFGoodrich hosted a sweepstakes in which they pledged ten cents to Allison Parliament's "Ducking for Teachers" for every entry. One hospital has utilized a Jeep toy electric car, complete with a duck on the hood, to help put children at ease before surgery. Stellantis, the manufacturer of Jeep, rented the World's Largest Rubber Duck for the 2022 North American International Auto Show in celebration of ducking, displaying it outside the Huntington Place convention center.
