# Jenny Kelly

Jennifer D'Arcy (née Kelly; born 6 May 1972) is an Irish radio personality who came to prominence during the 2000s as Ray D'Arcy's producer on his self-titled radio show on Today FM. The pair now have one daughter and one son together. Kelly previously worked for East Coast FM and then for the state broadcaster's pop music station RTÉ 2fm.
Reared in South Dublin county, Kelly's father Michael was a lawyer and a major influence on her career. Jenny would attend horse races with him, and was seen at the Galway Races in 2003 whilst running in the 2.30 race. She attended St Joseph of Cluny's primary school and Newtown School in Waterford for her secondary education before spending time delved in theatre studies at Trinity College, Dublin.
Before obtaining a position in RTÉ, Kelly volunteered for a place at Dublin South Community Radio and received in return a weekly half-hour arts programme to present. She began working with state broadcaster RTÉ in 1994, working on 2FM where her first national broadcast took place from on top of the world's biggest, fastest roller coaster. In 1997, she joined East Coast Radio, where she co-presented The Breakfast Show and produced the mid-morning show. Early in 2000, she transferred to Today FM to work in music programming with Phil Cawley and Tim Kelly. In September 2000, D'Arcy joined the station and The Ray D'Arcy Show began. When Kelly's father, Michael, died in his sleep on 8 April 2011, she learned of the death from Today FM chief executive Willie O'Reilly while on air. The Ray D'Arcy Show was abruptly taken off the air, prompting thousands of texts and calls from worried listeners.
Living in Dublin, the pair have two children: daughter Kate was born 25 November 2006, shortly after 20:00, at Mount Carmel Hospital and weighing just above seven pounds. She went into labour after laughing when watching Pat Kenny get heckled on live television on The Late Late Show. The pair were stalked by the tabloid press when D'Arcy publicly exposed their partnership on Saturday Night With Miriam in 2005. They attended the wedding of Tommy Tiernan as a couple. In January 2012, they announced their engagement and that they were pregnant with a second child. In June 2012, D'Arcy and Kelly had their second baby, a son called Tom Michael D'Arcy.
# Keith Webber

Keith Webber (5 January 1943 – 26 September 1983) was a Welsh footballer.

## Playing career

Webber began his playing days with Barry Town before signing for Everton as a 17-year-old in 1960. He scored on his first-team debut for the Goodison Park club in a Football League Cup tie against Walsall, but he was to make just four appearances in The Football League for them before moving to Brighton & Hove Albion in April 1963 in a £9,000 deal.
After a year at Brighton and then a two-year stint at Wrexham, Webber moved to Doncaster Rovers in June 1966 before joining Chester in June 1969. In his two-year spell at Sealand Road, Webber helped Chester reach the 1970 Welsh Cup final before losing to Cardiff City, a fate he had also suffered when playing for Wrexham five years earlier.
Webber ended his professional career with Stockport County in 1971–72 before going on to play in Non-League football for Morecambe, Northwich Victoria, Oswestry Town and Rhyl.

## Work and Death

After finishing his professional playing career, Webber became an insurance salesman and then the licensee of the Grosvenor Arms pub in Handbridge, Chester and later the White Lion in Buckley. Unfortunately, ill health left to him leaving the licensed trade and he took up a position with a finance company.
Webber died aged just 40 from a heart attack at his home in Marford, Wrexham while watching television on 26 September 1983.

# Radio Guarachita

Radio Guarachita was a radio station based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

## History

Radio Guarachita was founded in 1964 in the Dominican Republic by bachata producer and impresario Radhames Aracena. After a year of test runs, Radio Guarachita was launched on the 690 AM frequency in 1965.
Along with DJs Cuco Valoy on Radio Tropical and Charlie-Charlie on La Voz del Tropico, Aracena and Radio Guarachita were among the first DJs to play bachata on the Dominican airwaves.
Since Radio Guarachita was on the AM frequency, it had national reach, and appealed to the rural audience of the Dominican Republic. It had interactive programs where the DJ would read listeners’ mail, and the audience also could phone in and make personal announcements at any time of day. These 24/7 public announcements encouraged listeners to tune in all day, on lookout for important news. Usually, whenever people migrated from the rural countryside to Santo Domingo in search of a family member, they would go directly to Radio Guarachita as they didn’t know their address. An announcement would be made and the family members would pick them up at the station. Guarachita became a fixture of life for a large segment of the Dominican population.
After a few years, thanks to Radio Guarachita’s success, Radhames Aracena was able to expand his business and create a recording studio in his home, open a pressing plant, and two record labels, ‘Discos Guarachita’ and ‘Zuni’ (named after his wife Zunilda.) Empresas Guarachita was a staple of the bachata industry in the Dominican Republic.
Many of the great bachata artists got their first break thanks to Radio Guarachita. These include Jose Manuel Calderon, Leonardo Paniagua, Blas Duran, Eladio Romero Santos, Edilio Paredes and Ramon Cordero. Merengue tipico artists who have collaborated with Radio Guarachita include Tatico Henriquez, Fefita La Grande, and Guandulito.
Radhames Aracena died on December 11, 1999, from an open-heart surgery complication and Radio Guarachita was sold soon after. It now lives in the memory of the Dominican people, and its influence is heard in today’s bachata.
# Jenefer Robinson

Jenefer Mary Robinson is an American philosopher, author and emerita professor of philosophy at the University of Cincinnati. She writes on aesthetics, philosophy of psychology, philosophy of mind and theory of emotions. She has published two monographs, one edited collection, and numerous peer reviewed articles. She is on the editorial Board for the Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism and was on the editorial board for Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews. She was president of the American Society of Aesthetics from 2009 until 2013. In 2007 she was a Leverhulme visiting professor of philosophy at the University of Nottingham and in 2006 she received a Rieveschl Award for Scholarly and/or Creative Works. She received the National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship in September 2002. She was interviewed by Hans Maes for his book Conversations on Art and Aesthetics, which also contains her portrait by American photographer Steve Pyke. Debates in Aesthetics, an open access journal published by the British Society of Aesthetics, dedicated Vol. 14 No. 1 to her work.

## Career

Jenefer Robinson has published widely on topics related to philosophy of art, literature and music. In Deeper than Reason: Emotion and its Role in Literature, Music and Art (Oxford University Press, 2005) she developed a new theory of emotion and its connection with the arts. In the book she claims that we not only "self-evidently make emotional responses in the presence of art works, but that some art works (...) need to be experienced emotionally if they are to be properly understood". In her edited collection Music and Meaning (Cornell University Press, 1997) she brings together ten essays on the nature of musical meaning.

# Taniguchi Kofun

The Taniguchi Kofun (谷口古墳) is a Kofun period burial mound, located in the Hamatama neighborhood of the city of Karatsu, Saga Prefecture Japan. The tumulus was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1941.

## Overview

The Taniguchi Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun (前方後円墳), which is shaped like a keyhole, having one square end and one circular end, when viewed from above. It is located on a hill 20-40 meters above sea level, which branches off from the 535-meter Mount Tonbo at the eastern end of the Karatsu Plain, at the southeastern edge of Matsuura Bay. The tumulus has an overall length of 77 meters and is orientated to the southwest. The posterior circular portion is 30-meters in diameter, and the width of the anterior rectangular portion is 24 meters. Fukiishi and fragments of haniwa have been found. In an archaeological excavation in 1908, the rear mound was excavated and two stone side-entry pit-style burial chambers with chest-shaped stone sarcophagi were discovered. The western stone chamber was badly damaged and was backfilled after the sarcophagus was removed, so the details are unknown, but the eastern stone chamber, which remains intact, measures 2.9 x 1.6 meters and has a unique structure with four corbel walls and no ceiling stone frame. The chest-shaped stone sarcophagus, which was dug into the floor, has rope-hanging protrusions on the short sides and a stone pillow carved into the top of the bottom stone. Grave goods include seven bronze mirrors, eleven stone bracelets, ironware, and jewels, which indicate a strong influence from the Kinai region of Japan. A separate burial with a boat-shaped stone sarcophagus in the anterior rectangular portion. A fragment of a cylindrical haniwa found during a 1989 excavation indicates that the tumulus was built around the end of the 4th century.
The tumulus is about a 20-minute walk from Hamasaki Station on the JR Kyushu Chikuhi Line.
