The U.S. Center for World Mission, later known as the Venture Center, was a collaborative Christian mission base in Pasadena, California from 1976 until 2019. The center sought to connect other like-minded organizations around prayer, research, innovation, media, education, strategy, and mobilization with a continued focus on unreached people groups.

History

Spouses Ralph D. Winter (1924-2009) and Roberta Winter (1930-2001) founded the U.S. Center for World Mission in 1976 in a few rented offices on the campus of Pasadena Nazarene College. Their purpose was to pull people together to concentrate on the unreached people groups. The campus had previously hosted the Nazarene University Pasadena campus, and earlier the Pacific Bible College and Pasadena College (1897-1976).

When the Pasadena Nazarene College campus was up for sale, the U.S. Center engaged in a bidding war with the Church Universal and Triumphant, which the U.S. Center won. The money came primarily through small gifts of individual Christians around the country, and through the efforts of televangelist Dr. William Davis who promoted the project on national television and traveled across the country to meet personally with wealthy Christian donors. The final payment for the campus was made in 1988.

The efforts to establish the U.S. Center have also led to the development of a wide-ranging movement to the frontiers of mission that now involves thousands of people and hundreds of missions organizations. The Center seeks to serve this growing movement with resources, information, and strategic insights that can help the movement grow and effectively reach all the unreached peoples. In 2015, the US Center was renamed the Venture Center.

The Venture Center and its affiliated ministries are run by members of Frontier Ventures, which was founded by Ralph D. Winter.

Legacy 

Archives of the center now reside at the Ralph D. Winter Research Center. Many Christian ministries had their genesis at the center or resided for a season before moving on to new locations throughout the world.

Joseph Crandall (ca. 1761 – February 20, 1858) was a Baptist minister and political figure in New Brunswick. He represented Westmorland County in the Legislative Assembly from 1820 to 1822.

He was born in Tiverton, Rhode Island, the son of Webber Crandall and Mercy Vaughan, and came to Chester, Nova Scotia with his parents. After his father died, he went to Liverpool to work in the cod fishery and then worked for a time transporting lumber. He became a Baptist at the age of 35 after hearing Joseph Dimock and Harris Harding. After preaching in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for a time, he became pastor for a church in Sackville and also established a church at Salisbury. He was elected to the province's legislative assembly in 1820 and 1821 but was forced to resign because he was a preacher. Crandall was named the first moderator for the New Brunswick Baptist Association in 1822. Crandall died in Salisbury. Crandall University in Moncton, New Brunswick is named for him.

His son David also became a Baptist minister, finishing his long career at the Baptist Church in Hatfield Point, New Brunswick.

Kryptonite is the second studio album by British-based DJ and record producer DJ Fresh. The album primarily features drum and bass tracks, featuring drum and bass group Sigma and vocalists Stamina MC, Koko, Valkyrie and Ce'cile. The album has been pushed back various times, each time with a new track or an old track removed. Tracks removed from Kryptonite are "Spaceface", a drum and bass tune removed due to Fresh losing parts of the song itself, Fresh has confirmed that he doesn't know "what's going on" with "Lazer Squad", "Off World" was put onto a 12" with "Direct Order" by The Funktion, "Cylon" became the flip to "Lassitude", and "X-Project"  has been removed for an unknown reason. There was a mispress of the talkbox promo vinyl which had "Acid Rain" on the flipside rather than the intended song, "Fight". Due to the public reception to the preference over "Acid Rain" than to "Fight", it ("Acid Rain") was made the official flipside rather than "Fight".

A minimix was released on 9 June, which can be found on Fresh's Myspace.

Track listing
All songs written and composed by Dan Stein.

Singles
 "Heavyweight" was released as the first single from the album. It was released on 7 September 2009 as a promotional single.

 "Gold Dust" is the album's third single, released on 2 August 2010. It is the album's most successful single, charting on the UK Dance Chart at number six and the UK Singles Chart at number 24.
 "Lassitude" was released on 28 November 2010 as the last single from the album. It peaked at number 98 on the UK Singles Chart and at number 11 on the UK Dance Chart.

Reception

Kryptonite has received generally positive reviews.

BBC commented that the album was "not as harsh as his work in Bad Company," and had the synopsis of "sticks to a tried-and-tested drum’n’bass sound, but an undeniably bouncy affair."

musicOMH rated it 4.5 out of 5 stars, and commented that "this is a high tempo stormer you should not be without."

Charts
On 28 August, the album debuted on the UK Dance Albums Chart, at a current peak of number four.

Splinters Theatre of Spectacle was an Australian Performance Troupe formed in Canberra in 1985 by David Branson, Patrick Troy, Ross Cameron, and John Utans, that was known for large outdoor spectacles. Between 1985 and 1996, Splinters produced more than 20 works that played at Australian theater festivals. In 1992, they produced Cathedral of Flesh which won the Best Promenade Theater Performance Award, at the Adelaide Fringe Festival.

History
Splinters evolved through a collective of writers, musicians, visual and performance artists creating loosely related skits and scenes, into a multi-format art concept production company. Working in a variety of venues with hundreds of artists Splinters produced displays all around Australia. Their offices were situated in the Gorman House Arts Centre in Canberra.

Utilizing techniques of theater, dance, performance art, puppetry, pyrotechnics, sculpture, music, and crowd manipulation, Splinters performed one-offs, seasons, exhibitions, and events. Several performance and event groups gained momentum under the Splinters banner before launching their own companies including: Snuff Puppets, ODD Productions, Temple State, Triclops.

Splinters' first performance This Fantastic Lake in 1985 at the Downer Community Hall, Canberra was funded by International Youth Year. In 1988, Splinters received a grant from the Capital Arts Patrons Organisation. After several national and rural tours funded by the Australia Council's Performing Arts Board,  the last performance under the Splinters aegis was Orpheus at Gorman House, Canberra in 1997. In 2001, speaking at the Legislative Assembly for the ACT about the death of David Branson, the Australian Minister for Urban Services and Minister for the Arts called Splinters "one of the most innovative groups in Canberra's quite illustrious history of arts practice."

Hero Happy Hour is an American comic book co-created by writer Dan Taylor and artist Chris Fason. Like The Tick and, less satirically, Watchmen, it takes place in a universe of vaguely familiar costumed crime fighters. All stories unfold in First City at The Hideout Bar & Grill (Drink Specials For All Heroes) and usually feature genre savvy humor.

Publication history
The series was originally released as Super Hero Happy Hour in 2002 but the "Super" had to be dropped over trademark concerns about the use of the term super hero, as explained by Dan Taylor:

A Hero Happy Hour Super Special was published in 2004 and IDW Publishing released Super Deluxe Hero Happy Hour "The Lost Episode" in 2006.

Characters
The Bartender — retired superhero. Always quick with a free round if things are getting tense.
The Guardian (AKA "Joe", "Goody Two-Shoes") - when he's not swapping arch-nemesises he's optioning his movie rights.
Night Ranger (AKA "Nick", "Sister Christian") - he had the name before that silly hair-band and he'll be damned if he's going to change it.
Scout (AKA "Kip") - Night Ranger's impetuous young ward.
Psiren - it's not a boob-job but good tailoring.
Galaxy Girl - not really a "girl" any more but she liked the alliteration and the perfect adjective for "woman" was already taken.

Collected editions
Some of the series has been collected into a trade paperback:

Hero Happy Hour: Heroic Edition (collects Hero Happy Hour #1-5, 150 pages, Lulu.com, December 2009, )

Awards
In Wizard's Best of 2003 the series was named "Concept We Wish We’d Thought Of."

Christine Bieselin Clark is an American costume designer known for her work on Tron: Legacy, Ender's Game, and Spy. She was nominated in 2022 for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes for her work on Star Trek: Picard.

Biography 
Bieselin Clark, who spent her youth on Long Island, New York is an alumna of Suffolk County Community College, and graduated in theater arts from the Stony Brook University. She began working as a theatre costume designer for productions throughout the East Coast. Her career in the film industry started in 1997, when she joined the production of Deceiver as an intern costume designer.

Bieselin Clark worked during the 2000s as an assistant costume designer on films including In Her Shoes, 300, Watchmen, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. According to Entertainment Weekly, "she broke out as a sci-fi costume designer on TRON: Legacy" For this 2010 movie, she worked with Michael Wilkinson (whom she names as her mentor) in designing the lighted costumes, which used electroluminescent lamps derived from a flexible polymer film and featured hexagonal patterns. Bieselin Clark told Wired that the costumes of the virtual reality siren characters are a "play on feminine shapes and then made [to] look like cars," adding:  
For her costume work on TRON: Legacy, she was nominated for the 2010 Costume Designers Guild Award. The film's costume designs influenced the men's 2010 Donatella Versace collection.

Her first job as the lead costume designer for a major film was on Ender's Game. The costume helmets comprised three magnet-connected sections; it was important that the visor be easy to remove because of reflections during filming. Creating the helmets involved a 3D scan of each actor's head, so that a computer program could adapt the helmet shape to the head; the shape was then resin printed.

For her costume work on Star Trek: Picard, Bieselin Clark was nominated for the 2020 Costume Designers Guild Award, and in 2022, for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes. When first approaching the costumes for this series, Bieselin Clark looked at costumes from throughout Star Trek as research. She wanted to humanize Jean-Luc Picard and show more vulnerability through his clothing. She also wanted to depict the changes that the character underwent in decades after the time of Star Trek: The Next Generation. An example of the latter comes in the episode "Absolute Candor", which begins with a flashback to Picard's time in Starfleet where he is seen in a white suit with his Starfleet badge. This is contrasted later in the episode when he returns to the planet in rugged, darker clothing that matches the changes in his personality and in the state of the universe.

Uncompahgre Peak () is the sixth highest summit of the Rocky Mountains of North America and the U.S. state of Colorado.  The prominent  fourteener is the highest summit of the San Juan Mountains and the highest point in the drainage basin of the Colorado River and the Gulf of California.  It is located in the Uncompahgre Wilderness in the northern San Juans, in northern Hinsdale County approximately 7 miles (11 km) west of the town of Lake City.

Uncompahgre Peak has a broad summit plateau, rising about  above the broad surrounding alpine basins. The south, east and west sides are not particularly steep, but the north face has a  cliff. Like all peaks in the San Juan Mountains, Uncompahgre is of volcanic origin, but is not a volcano. The rock is of poor quality for climbing, precluding an ascent of the north face.

The most popular route for climbing Uncompahgre Peak is Uncompahgre National Forest Service Trail Number 239, which starts from the end of the Nellie Creek Road, east-southeast of the peak. The Nellie Creek Road is a four wheel drive road accessed from the Henson Creek Road, about  west of Lake City. The trail to the summit is a strenuous hike rising  in elevation in about . It accesses the summit in a winding ascent, starting from the east, passing over a south-trending ridge, and finishing on the west slopes of the summit plateau.

The peak's name comes from the Ute word Uncompaghre, which loosely translates to "dirty water" or "red water spring" and is likely a reference to the many hot springs in the vicinity of Ouray, Colorado.
