# Russel Sturgis Cook

Russel(l) Sturgis Cook (1811–1864) was an American Congregationalist minister, and a secretary of the American Tract Society from 1839 to 1856. He was known also as Russell Salmon Cook, and built up colportage as basic to the Society's business model.

## Early life

Cook was born at New Marlborough, Massachusetts. He attended Auburn Theological Seminary from 1832. In 1836 he was ordained, and became pastor at Lanesborough, Massachusetts.

## American Tract Society

Cook encountered in New York in November 1838 William Allen Hallock (1794–1880), a minister and one of the founders of the American Tract Society (ATS). Cook shortly became Visiting and Financial Secretary of the ATS in New York. In 1841 he pioneered a new approach to the existing colporteur system, sending recruits to Indiana and Kentucky. By 1851 800 were employed in this way as tract sellers.
At an extended ATS fundraiser in 1842 at the Broadway Tabernacle, Cook softened the anti-Catholic campaigning of the period with a comment that Americans were probably no less sinners, in matters such as drunkenness and Sabbath-breaking, than Catholic immigrants. After the Compromise of 1850, Cook defended the Society's policy of not circulating abolitionist material. He did so on the grounds that by its constitution, the Society could only promote views that reflected the consensus of "evangelical Christians"; and that on slavery that consensus did not exist. William Jay, an ATS director, criticised that line of argument. Jay dropped his financial support for the ATS, explaining his reasoning in an open letter to Cook.

## Later life and death

Cook died at Pleasant Valley, New York on 4 September 1864.

# Sam Dauya

Sam Dauya (October 22, 1937 – May 11, 2008) was the Zimbabwean founder of the Dynamos F.C. football team, which was founded in 1963 and is based in Harare. sam was born to Malawian parents in Waterfalls, Zimbabwe, on October 22, 1937. He attended St Michael's School as a student. His first job following the completion of his studies was as a credit controller at Zimbabwe Furnishers, which at the time was owned by Teddy Cohen.
Sam began thinking of starting his own soccer team in the early 1960s, after authorities in what was then known as Rhodesia started a professional football in 1962 composed exclusively of white players. Blacks were not permitted to play on the Rhodesian teams. Coincidentally, two black football teams, Salisbury City and Salisbury United, were disbanded at approximately this time. Dauya approached members of the defunct teams about starting a new football club for black players.
Dynamos F.C. was officially founded in 1963, composed of players from black townships surrounding Harare. Dauya personally designed the team's first logo and wrote the club's constitution.
Sam Dauya died at a private hospital in Harare, Zimbabwe, on May 11, 2008, at the age of 70. He died just one day after Dynamos F.C. defeated the current African champions, Etoile du Sahel. Mourners gathered to remember Dauya at his home at Number 6 Smit Crescent in Eastlea, Zimbabwe. He was survived by three children Terry, Caroline and Jackie. He has eight grandchildren Tim, Will, Jon, Theo, Eli, Malachai, Livia and Jonathan. His wife was the late Chipo Judith Banda.

# Guang Qin

Guang Qin (廣欽, 14 December 1892 – 13 February 1986) was a renowned Buddhist monk, teacher and cultivator.
Born Huang Wenlai in 1892 in Huian County, Fukien Province, China. Due to his family's extreme poverty, he was sold to the Li family. The Li were not wealthy either and had a fruit growing business that allowed them to barely scrape together a living. His parents died in 1902 when he was only 11 years old. He realised how impermanent human life was and took refuge with Master Rui Fang of the famous Cheng Tian Chan Monastery. In 1927, he took ordination at the same monastery.
From the very beginning, Guang Qin was an ascetic practitioner. In the monastery, one of his duties was to ring the morning wake-up bell. One morning, he accidentally over-slept and missed ringing the bell at the correct time. After that, he never lay down to sleep for the rest of his life and sat up in meditation during his sleep.
In 1985 at the age of 92, on the first day of the Chinese New Year, he called together all of his disciples who were in charge of his different monasteries. He told them that he would pass away soon and that they should divide his relics among Cheng Tian Temple and other temples, monasteries and nunneries. He later went to Miao Tong Temple, the place where he would manifest stillness.
On the fifth day of Chinese New Year, with all his disciples gathered around him he told them to recite Amitabha Buddha's name. He said, "There is no coming and no going, nothing is happening." Then he smiled at his disciples and closed his eyes. He was so still that his disciples checked and discovered that he had died amidst the Amitabha chanting. Guang Qin died at the age of 93 in 1986.
Photos that were taken by an anonymous disciple from Guang Qin's funeral displayed auspicious signs, such as lights pointing down at Guang Qin's casket and supposedly a faint silhouette which appears to look like Amitabha shine down upon the casket. Also, clouds forming a lotus flower was supposedly seen in the sky.
One of Guang Qin's relics is among the relics being toured with the Maitreya Project Heart Relic Tour.

# The Hub (Verwood)

The Hub (also known as the Verwood Hub) is a multi-purpose venue based in Verwood, Dorset, England, hosting a range of live music, theatre, art, conferences, workshops, children’s activities and other community based projects. There is also a 7.1 surround sound cinema, a state-of-the-art gym and a café.

## History

First mooted in the 1990s, with strong local support, the Hub was one of the biggest community projects ever delivered by East Dorset District Council (EDDC), at a cost of nearly £2.75m. The Hub opened on 12 March 2007, with management and control handed over to the volunteer Verwood Hub Community Association (later changing their name to Verwood Arts And Leisure Amenities).
The main hall was named the Merryfield Theatre after the late Buster Merryfield, a long-term resident of Verwood.
In 2013 an extension to The Hub was built to house a state-of-the-art gym to replace facilities in the old Verwood Leisure Centre which was sold to Morrisons to allow their Verwood supermarket to expand.
On 1 July 2014, with the volunteer management running into some financial difficulties, tenancy and assets reverted to EDDC.
In 2018 the Merryfield theatre cinema system was upgraded to include full cinema-quality picture and 7.1 surround sound.
Following the reorganisation of Dorset councils in 2019, responsibility for The Hub moved over to Dorset Council, and is now run as part of the East Dorset Partnership which includes Queen Elizabeth Leisure Centre in Wimborne.

## Facilities

The Merrifield Theatre can accommodate 304 people in raked theatre-style seating with stage, cinema screen and full sound system; or the seating can be removed to provide a conference facility or cabaret/banquet-style seating for around 240.
There are also studio rooms available seating between 20 and 100 people, a licensed bar and cafe.
The gym comprises state of the art Technogym equipment, a functional training zone, suspension training area and a weights section. Technogym equipment includes 25 cardiovascular machines, 10 resistance based machines and 6 kinesis machines. There are multiple fitness classes, ranging from classes and fitness regimes for doctor referrals to high intensity workouts.
The Hub also manages the Emmanuel Sports Hall (shared with Emmanual School) and sports pitches and the Pavilion at Potterne Park.

## Events

The main theatre hosts a wide variety of events, from talks (by such as England, British and Irish Lions and Northampton Saints star James Haskell), magic (featuring Britain's Got Talent's Marc Spelmann) and live music, ranging from Verwood Concert Brass, Swing Unlimited Big Band, various Tribute Bands such as Arrival - The Hits of Abba, and vocalists such as Gordon Haskell, as well as the annual Verwood Pantomime.
In 2019 The Verwood Hub began working with Live Nation and is a venue on their live stand up comedy circuit. Just before the 2020 pandemic their first comedian Geoff Norcott performed on his UK tour. Geoff Norcott plus others are looking to return in 2021/22.
# Petrocorp

Petrocorp, formally the Petroleum Corporation of New Zealand Limited, is a former New Zealand state-owned enterprise that was formed in 1978. It was sold by the Fourth Labour government in 1988 to Fletcher Challenge and became the Fletcher Energy group.
The company was created to undertake the government's petroleum exploration activities and was involved in the Maui gas field. Through an agreement formed on 1 October 1973 Petrocorp became a 50% owner, with Todd Corporation, BP and Shell of the Offshore Mining Company Limited which developed and then sold gas from the Maui field. These companies became known as the Maui Partners.

## Assets

The corporation wholly owned the Natural Gas Corporation, which, in turn, owned gas transmission pipelines from Kapuni to Auckland and Kapuni to Wellington, and the Kapuni Gas Treatment Plant.

## Sale

In 1987, Petrocorp became a publicly-listed company on the New Zealand Stock Exchange, due to a 30% share sell down by the government. Petrocorp issued new shares that represented 30% of the total shares in the company, and 15% were sold by tender to Fletcher Challenge with the remainder offered via a share float. On 3 March 1988, Fletcher Challenge agreed to purchase the remaining 70% of the government's shares in the company for NZ$801 million via a "put and call" agreement. This was the same price previously offered by British Gas plc but rejected because of conditions requested by British Gas on the sale.
The final transaction involved the purchase of shares in PetroCorp by Fletcher Challenge with payment in Fletcher Challenge shares that were then sold by the government on 16 December 1993.

# I Need a Lover

"I Need a Lover" is the debut single by John Mellencamp, first released in 1978 under the stage name "Johnny Cougar".

## Background

The song appeared on his 1978 album A Biography, which was not released in the United States. After becoming a top 10 hit in Australia, the song was later included on his 1979 follow-up album John Cougar to introduce it to U.S. audiences, and was released there as a single, becoming his first U.S. top 40 hit when it reached No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1979.
AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine described "I Need a Lover" as Mellencamp's "first good song". Cash Box said that "Cougar's gutsy, forthright vocals and lyrics are nicely backed by passionate guitar and a footstomping, hell-raising beat." Record World said that "Cougar's midwestern roots grow into urban urgency on this explosive rocker."
On his inspiration for writing "I Need a Lover", Mellencamp said: "The song's about a friend of mine who goes to Concordia College. When that song was written, he was pretty sad. He was . . . livin' in his bedroom. I told him, 'You got to get the hell out of the house!' He'd say, 'Man, if I only had a girl, she'd make me forget my problems.' I just said, 'Well . . . '"
Mellencamp has also stated that "I Need a Lover" was inspired by the Rolling Stones' 1972 song "Happy".

## Pat Benatar version

The song was covered and released as the debut single in 1979 by American rock singer Pat Benatar for her debut studio album, In the Heat of the Night (1979). The song became an album-oriented rock radio hit for the singer and has been part of the live set list on tour. Chrysalis Records released a live music video for the song, released in 1981.
