# 1786 English cricket season

The 1786 English cricket season was the 15th in which matches have been awarded retrospective first-class cricket status and the last before the Marylebone Cricket Club was founded in 1787. The season saw five top-class matches played in the country.

## Matches

Five first-class matches for which scorecards exist were played during the year, four of them involving sides playing under the name of Kent. The season saw the first "great" matches played by the White Conduit Club, the direct predecessor of the Marylebone Cricket Club which was formed the following year. One of these matches saw Tom Walker scored 95 and 102 runs in his two innings, a pair of scores considered "an astonishing double by the standards of the day".

# Laguna~B

Laguna~B is an Italian company specializing in the production of design glassware. Headquartered in Palazzo Giustinian Brandolini in Venice, it has been led by CEO and art director Marcantonio Brandolini D’Adda since 2016. The company operates a physical store in Venice.

## History

Laguna~B was founded in 1994 by Marie Angliviel de la Beaumelle (1963-2013), a pioneer in the glass design industry. The company transformed the “goti da fornasa” – the glasses that Venetian glass makers made for their own personal use to quench their thirst while working at the furnace – into an iconic and characteristic product.
In 2016, the son of de la Beaumelle, Marcantonio Brandolini D’Adda, took over the leadership of the company and reorganised its structure, transforming it into a leader in its field.

## Activities and projects

Laguna~B has collaborated with many local and international partners over the years. The “Goto glasses”, part of the inaugural “Goto” collection crafted by founder Marie Brandolini in the 1990s, were featured in an auction at Sotheby’s in 2022.
Laguna~B has also ventured into partnerships with brands and designers. Laguna~B collaborated with Saint Laurent, creating a line of glass tumblers for the fashion house. Similarly, its collaboration with interior designer Alyssa Kapito resulted in the creation of hand-blown Murano vases. Collaborating with fashion designer Fabio Quaranta, the company produced an artwork inspired by the glassblowers’ uniforms. Laguna~B also collaborated with Frédéric Malle, founder of the perfume house Editions de Parfums. From this collaboration, five hand-blown Murano glass candles were created.
In 2017, the company launched the “Autonoma” exchange programme on Murano Island, bringing foreign glassmaking masters and artists to the lagoon to promote glassmaking and glassblowing.
Laguna~B has also implemented the VITAL project, in collaboration with the “We are here Venice” association. This initiative brings together a team of experts committed to the conservation of the Venetian Lagoon, guided by scientific research.
The company’s glassware has also made appearances in the film industry, particularly in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. In one scene of the film, two Laguna~B Venetian glasses are visible in the background. These glasses are known as “Goto”, invented by Marie Angliviel de la Baumelle and inspired by the glasses made by reusing the scraps from glass furnaces.

# Aelia Sabina

Aelia Sabina (fl. 3rd century CE) was a musician who primarily played the hydraulis, an early version of the organ. She lived in Roman settlement of Aquincum, located in modern-day Budapest, Hungary.
Aelia Sabina was the wife of Titus Aelius Justus, a musician employed by the Second Auxiliary Legion of the Roman army. When she died at age 25, her husband wrote a lengthy, loving inscription on her tomb (discovered by archaeologists in the 1800s), in which he mourned her loss and praised her character and musical skill. This inscription reads:
   Enclosed within this stone lies Sabina, dear and faithful wife. Excelling in the arts, she alone surpassed her husband. Her voice was sweet, her fingers plucked the strings. But she fell silent, suddenly snatched away. She lived three decades, five years fewer, alas... She herself lives on. She was a queen among the water organ players. May all who read this be happy. May the gods keep you and with a pious voice may you proclaim Fare thee well, Aelia Sabina. Titus Aelius Justus, water organist and stipendiary of the Second Auxiliary Legion erected this monument to his wife.

# Crystal Ball (detector)

The Crystal Ball was a hermetic particle detector used initially with the SPEAR particle accelerator at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center beginning in 1979. It was designed to detect neutral particles and was used to discover the ηc meson. Its central section was a spark chamber surrounded by a nearly-complete sphere of scintillating crystals (NaI(Tl)), for which it was named. With the addition of endcaps of similar construction, the detector covered 98% of the solid angle around the interaction point.
After its decommissioning at SLAC, the detector was carried to DESY, where it was used for b-physics experiments.
In 1996, it was moved to the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, where it was used in a series of pion- and kaon-induced experiments on the proton. Currently it is located at Mainz Microtron facility, where it is being used by the A2 Collaboration for a diverse program of measurements using energy tagged Bremsstrahlung photons.

The Eli Radish Band was a Cleveland, Ohio-based band active from 1968 to 1973. They were closely tied to the development of the outlaw country and alt-country music genres.
The group signed with Capitol Records in 1969 and released its only album I Didn't Raise My Boy To Be A Soldier, which featured tracks with anti-war messages ironically reminiscent of World War I and II era patriotic music. After recording for Capitol Records and Olympia Records, the group eventually disbanded in 1973.

## Post-Breakup

Eli Radish's founder and bassist Danny Sheridan continued to compose and produce songs for David Crosby, Scarlet Rivera, actress Amy Madigan and other CD, TV and film projects. He helped to launch his then girlfriend Nina Blackwood's MTV career. Sheridan continued to produce her national radio shows and oversee her SiriusXM career. He co-hosted a talk show on 97.1 KLSX in Los Angeles and is a frequent speaker on various songwriter and music industry panels, often performing for charity events including Farm Aid and the Los Angeles Musician's Picnic.
Eli Radish incorporated the drumming skills of Skip Heil from South Euclid, Ohio in its inception, through its recording years and into the final days when members went their separate ways. Skip now resides in the wine country of northern California, continuing his songwriting activities. Rick "Muskrat" Kennedy plays acoustic solo shows at various resorts. Pedal steel player/guitarist Tom "The Foss" Foster tours the U.S. with several groups, and violinist "Little" Eva Karasik, who has recorded on a number of CDs including Jorma Kaukonen's Quah, now performs with the San Francisco Opera.
In 1969, Eli Radish signed with rock and roll promoter Roger Abramson. During these years throughout the 1970s, Roger Abramson included the band on concerts with many nationally known groups, such as The Doors and Country Joe and the Fish.
When David Allan Coe began writing a string of hits that included “Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)” for a then teenage Tanya Tucker, and the tune, “Take This Job And Shove It”, Coe called on Sheridan to join him on his tours. Coe's hits include “You Never Even Call Me By My Name”, “Willie, Waylon, And Me” and "Longhaired Redneck".

# 2 Camelopardalis

2 Camelopardalis is a triple star system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Camelopardalis, next to the southern constellation border with Perseus. It is dimly visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.36. The system is located at a distance of about 213 light-years (65 parsecs) from the Sun, based on its parallax. It is drifting further away with a radial velocity of +20 km/s.
The primary member of 2 Camelopardalis, designated component A, is an A-type main-sequence star with a spectral type of A8V. It has an apparent magnitude of 5.86, and has a secondary with an apparent magnitude of 7.35, designated component B. The two orbit each other on a very eccentric orbit with a period of 26.34 years. Further out, there is an eight-magnitude companion (designated component C), orbiting once every few hundred years. As the third star was previously thought to be relatively massive for its luminosity, it was suspected of being a binary star itself, but the current estimate of component C's magnitude as a single star matches its absolute magnitude.
