Thompson Stadium was a football stadium located on Staten Island and used by the Staten Island Stapletons of the National Football League from 1924 until 1933. It was located on the site of present Berta A. Dreyfus Intermediate School 49 and the Stapleton Houses.

The stadium was built in the early 1920s by the wealthy owner of the local Thompson's Lumber Company. It was built against a hill in Staten Island's Stapleton neighborhood and doubled in summer as a home for semi-pro baseball. Inside its stockade fence, about 8,000 uncovered bleacher seats encircled the field. The field's locker rooms consisted of sheds standing just outside the fence. Stapleton's owner, Dan Blaine, owned a restaurant which was located next door to the stadium, and after games and practices players and fans would meet up for beers.

While an average of 3,000 fans normally paid their way into each game, hundreds of others would usually watch the game for free from the hill behind the south end zone. Although far smaller than other NFL venues, like the Polo Grounds and Wrigley Field, Thompson's Stadium hosted four years of NFL football. The stadium was demolished in 1958, and the borough of Staten Island would be left without a professional ballpark until the Ballpark at St. George was completed in 2001.

Patrick Joseph Cuff (born 19 March 1952) is an English former footballer who made 185 appearances in the Football League playing as a goalkeeper for Middlesbrough, Grimsby Town, Millwall and Darlington.

Life and career
Cuff was born in Middlesbrough, and was an English schoolboy international. He began his football career as an apprentice with his hometown club, Middlesbrough F.C., in 1968. He made his debut in the Football League while on loan at Grimsby Town in the 1971–72 season, but had to wait until April 1974 for his Middlesbrough debut, by which time the club had already won the Second Division title. According to the Guardian's report of the goalless draw with Bolton Wanderers, "Pat Cuff, making his first appearance in the Middlesbrough goal after waiting six years for his chance, did well." He continued as backup to regular goalkeeper Jim Platt until a dispute between Platt and manager Jack Charlton in late 1976 gave Cuff a run in the side.

He finished his Middlesbrough career with 31 League appearances, and moved to Millwall in the 1978 close season on a free transfer. He spent two seasons with Millwall: in 1978–79, he was ever-present with 46 appearances in league and cups as the club were relegated to the Third Division, but then lost his place to new signing John Jackson and never played for the first team again. After three years in the Fourth Division with Darlington, which took his total league appearances to 185, Cuff retired.

Cuff became a bookmaker after his retirement from football. His son Phil played rugby union for West Hartlepool.

Duncan McNab McEachran (27 October 1841 – 13 October 1924) as a Canadian veterinarian and academic.

Born in Campbeltown, Scotland, the son of David McEachran and Jean Blackney, McEachran graduated from the Edinburgh Veterinary College in 1861 and received his license to practice from Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. In 1862, he emigrated to Canada West, settling in Woodstock. In 1863, he helped set up, along with primary founder Andrew Smith, the Upper Canada Veterinary School (later the Ontario Veterinary College).
McEachran was a staff member but he considered the admission standards and academic requirements to be inadequate. He left after three years, moving to Montreal. In 1867, Smith and McEachran again joined forces to publish the first veterinary textbook in Canada for farmers, The Canadian horse and his diseases.

In 1866, McEachran assisted in the founding of the  Montreal Veterinary College, including a French section in 1877, which became linked with McGill College, with its more advanced medical training facilities. By 1889, the relationship had been formalized. The college then became the Faculty of Comparative Medicine and Veterinary Science of McGill University.

McEachran helped develop sanitary measures to counter epidemics in animals and made many trips to the US to study the prevention and treatment of such epidemics, particularly among horses. In 1885 he became the first chief veterinary inspector for Canada. In the late 1880s he helped establish two large horse breeding ranches in Alberta and then provided management for others from his home in Montreal.

For his contribution to the field of agriculture in the province of Quebec and in Canada, McEachran was posthumously inducted to Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame in 1962 and to the Agricultural Hall of Fame of Quebec in 1992. He was named a National Historic Person by the federal government in 2016.

In semiconductor physics, a donor is a dopant atom that, when added to a semiconductor, can form a n-type region. 

For example, when silicon (Si), having four valence electrons, is to be doped as a n-type semiconductor, elements from group V like phosphorus (P) or arsenic (As) can be used because they have five valence electrons. A dopant with five valence electrons is also called a pentavalent impurity.  Other pentavalent dopants are antimony (Sb) and  bismuth (Bi).

When substituting a Si atom in the crystal lattice, four of the valence electrons of phosphorus form covalent bonds with the neighbouring Si atoms but the fifth one remains weakly bonded.  If that electron is liberated, the initially electro-neutral donor becomes positively charged (ionised). At room temperature, the liberated electron can move around the Si crystal and carry a current, thus acting as a charge carrier.

Jay Robert Rodne (born March 21, 1966) is an American lawyer and politician of the Republican Party. He is a former member of the Washington House of Representatives, representing the 5th Legislative District. Rodne is of Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians ancestry. He was appointed to the House in 2004 and did not seek reelection in 2018.

Career
Rodne was the primary sponsor for 13 bills in the 2015–2016 session. His most recent co-sponsored bill was HB 2453 that passed unanimously and is designed to improve oversight at state mental hospitals. His committee assignments included Transportation, Health Care and Wellness, and Judiciary, where he was the ranking minority member.

Rodne is a Colonel in the USMC Reserve. He has been the commanding officer of 4th Landing Support Battalion, headquartered in Fort Lewis, Washington. He deployed overseas as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. During his active duty years, he deployed to Operation Restore Hope in Somalia and Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf War.

Comments about Islam 
Following the November 2015 Paris attacks which ISIS claimed responsibility for, Rodne made a Facebook post claiming that President Obama "wants to import 1.5 million Muslims into the U.S." The Seattle Times found Rodne's claim to be false. After receiving criticism for his comments, Rodne said, "The majority of the world's 1.2 billion Muslims are peaceful and want nothing more than to live in peace. And if they are here in America, they want nothing more than to live and enjoy our freedoms."

Lobbying career 
In April 2019, he registered as a foreign agent to consult and lobby for the Kingdom of Cambodia. His consulting company co-owned with state senator Doug Ericksen will be paid $500,000 a year to arrange official visits between the countries and business leaders.

James McKeever (April 19, 1861 – August 19, 1897), was an American professional baseball catcher. He played in Major League Baseball for the Boston Reds in 1884.

Early years
McKeever was born in 1861 in Saint John, New Brunswick, the son of Irish immigrants. He moved to Boston with his parents at age three. He was boyhood friends in South Boston with Tommy McCarthy, who was later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. He graduated from the Lawrence School in Boston in 1875 and became employed by the Norway Iron Company.

Baseball career
McKeever played baseball "as a business" for several years for teams in the Boston area. 

In April 1884, he signed with the Boston Reds in the Union Association. The Baltimore Sun reported that McKeever was working at a South Boston foundry before signing his first professional contract with the Reds. The Boston Globe reported that he was "a large man with no previous pro experience" who would be positioned at catcher and serve as one half of Boston's "change battery" with pitcher Charlie Daniels. A biography of McKeever in The National Pastime described him as "a strong defensive catcher" who was "unable to hit successfully against the suspect UA pitching." During his major-league career, he appeared in 16 games and scored 13 runs with a .136 batting average, before he was released along with Fred Tenney in August. 

McKeever later played for several years for clubs in Biddeford, Maine (1885), Waterbury (1885), Minneapolis (1887), Eau Claire, Wisconsin (1887), Easton, Pennsylvania (1888), Haverhill, Massachusetts, Lowell, Massachusetts, and Oil City, Pennsylvania (1895). He also later played for the Boston-based clubs Woven Hose in 1890, the Whittentons in 1891, and Institute in 1893.

He played principally at the catcher position but also appeared as a right fielder, center fielder, and first baseman. He was described in the Star Tribune in 1887 as a "fine back stop" and an "excellent thrower" with endurance that allowed him to catch up to five games a week.

Poor health led to his retirement as a player during the 1895 season. He thereafter served as manager of a semipro team in Boston.

Death
On August 19, 1897, Mckeever died "after an illness of five weeks of brain fever". At the time of his death, the South Boston Bulletin called him "one of the best known ball players about Boston." He was buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Malden, Massachusetts.

Masula boat, also known as masulah boat, is a kind of non-rigid boat built without knees used on the coast of Madras (the present day city of Chennai), India, along with catamarans.

Description
Locally known as padagu or salangu among the fisher folks, the masula boat is a large, flat-bottomed, high-sided, open boat with a clumsy design consisting of mango wood planks sewed together with strands of coir which cross over a wadding of the same material, but without frames or ribs, so that the shock due to surf is much reduced. It is specially designed for use where there are no harbours of refuge, chiefly upon the surf-beaten Coromandel Coast of India. It is used in shooting shore seines and also as a cargo lighter. Its range extends along the whole of the eastern coast of India northwards of Cape Calimere. The equivalent type of boats used on the west coast are the beach lighters. Masula boats are generally smaller, although they can be up to 9 m in length. The pattern varies across the coast, namely, padava on the Andhra coast and bar boat in Orissa coast. A variant found in the region between Kakinada and Machilipatnam has ribs inside.

The masula boats were mainly used by Europeans in the 19th century before the building of Chennai Port. The dimensions of the masula boat generally varies from 30 to 35 feet in length, 10 to 11 feet in breadth, and 7 to 8 feet in depth. On the Coromandel Coast, it is distinctly short, measuring as short as about 28 feet in length. In the northern region of the coast, chiefly in Godavari and Visakhapatnam districts of the Andhra coast, it exceeds 40 feet in length. However, the beam and the depth measures about 8 feet and 4 feet, respectively, across the region. An oculus is sometimes painted on the bows of the masula boats in the Madras region. They are rowed by a crew varying from 8 to 12 men using bamboo or casuarina paddles, which consist of a board measuring about 10 inches in width and 14 inches in length, fixed at the end of a bamboo or young casuarina tree. They are steered by one or two tindals (coxswains), and two men are constantly kept to bale out the water. Mast and sail are not used in the masula boats as they never go far from the shore.
