Elizabeth Vera Perlin, OC (1902 – 1974) was a Canadian advocate for the rights of the mentally disabled and a reformer who influenced the entire school system of Newfoundland and broke new ground on a national scale with her vision and accomplishments. Perlin was the founder of the Newfoundland Association for the Help of Retarded Children, founded two years before the nationally orientated Canadian Association for Community Living.

Perlin was born in St. John's, Newfoundland (now Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada), the daughter of Mitchie Ann (Manuel) and John Chalker Crosbie, married Albert B. Perlin. Her husband and family were part of the small but influential Jewish community in St John's. She was educated at Holloway School in St. John's and private schools in Toronto, Ontario. While volunteering at the United Church Orphanage in St. John's, Perlin encountered many foster children with developmental disabilities who were receiving no education as a result of special needs. As a member of the advisory board of the United Church Orphanage, she persuaded church officials to fund an experimental day school modeled after schools she had studied in Great Britain. Perlin recruited Molly Dingle as teacher and opened the school in the orphanage on Hamilton Avenue in 1954. In 1956, Perlin founded the Newfoundland Association for the Help of Retarded Children, which is now known as the Newfoundland and Labrador for Community Living. With the aid of donations and volunteer work the association opened the Vera Perlin School in 1959 on Patrick Street. In 1966, a multipurpose building was constructed to help support the growing program, initially named The Vera Perlin School, it has since been renamed The Perlin Centre. The program expanded and eleven branches were established outside of St. John's to further support those with developmental disabilities. The Vera Perlin Society, a community living organization is named after her.

During the 1998–99 English football season, Oxford United F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.

Season summary
During October 1998, the backroom staff at Oxford United were unpaid due to the club's financial situation with the new stadium; the threat of administration caused a group of fans to set up a pressure group called Fighting for Oxford United's Life (FOUL). The group began to publicise the club's plight through a series of meetings and events, including a 'Scarf of Unity', which was a collection of scarfs from various clubs which was long enough to stretch around the perimeter of the pitch. Chairman Robin Herd stepped down to concentrate on his engineering projects, and in April 1999 Firoz Kassam bought Herd's 89.9% controlling interest in Oxford United for £1, with which he also inherited the club's estimated £15 million debt. Kassam reduced the £9 million of the debt to just £900,000, by virtue of a Company Voluntary Arrangement, by which unsecured creditors who were owed over £1,000 were reimbursed with 10p for every pound they were owed. Secured creditors were paid off when Kassam sold the Manor to another of his companies, for £6 million. Kassam set about completing the unfinished stadium, gaining planning permission for a bowling alley, a multiplex cinema, and a hotel to sit next to the stadium, following a series of legal battles which were eventually all settled. The season ended with relegation back to the Second Division.

Real England: The Battle Against the Bland is a 2008 travelogue written by Paul Kingsnorth describing his first-hand account of the homogenization of England through global market and industrial forces.

Summary 
Real England is a travelogue in which Kingsnorth discusses months of travel around England visiting publicans, shopkeepers, farmers, and other people in traditional English institutions. Kingsnorth explores the effects of global capitalism on English culture and character, highlighting what he sees as a flattening of the country by development, conglomeration, and privatization.

Reception 
Real England was Kingsnorth's first popularly successful book, garnering reviews in all major newspapers and citation in speeches by David Cameron and the archbishop of Canterbury.

Writing in The Guardian, Nicholas Lezard says of the book, "I occasionally say of a book that it is important, and that everyone should read it; this time I say so more emphatically than ever." Though Lezard notes that "This is a very depressing book at times," Lezard highlights "the urgency of this book, and the need for us to stop being complacent."

The Alvey Programme was a British government sponsored research programme in information technology that ran from 1984 to 1990. The programme was a reaction to the Japanese Fifth Generation project, which aimed to create a computer using massively parallel computing/processing. The programme was not focused on any specific technology such as robotics, but rather supported research in knowledge engineering in the United Kingdom. It has been likened in operations to the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Japan's ICOT.

Background 
During the early 1980s, Japan invited the United Kingdom to become a part of the Fifth Generation Project. In October 1981, a Department of Industry mission to Japan consisting of academics, civil servants and business representatives explored collaboration opportunities and attended the Fifth Generation conference. Informed by negotiations between ICL and Fujitsu conducted to "ensure the survival of ICL", suggesting that collaboration would only be possible in "very specific areas agreed upon by individual companies", it was concluded that an emulation of the Japanese approach would be preferable to any attempt at participating in the Japanese programme.

In response, a committee was created and was chaired by John Alvey, a technology director at British Telecom. The report generated proposed a different course of action to the Japanese initiative and became the basis for the UK's rejection of the Fifth Generation and the creation of its own Alvey Programme. The programme's fundamental goal was the improvement of the advanced information technology in the UK to address the declining performance of this sector. It operated in 1984 until 1990.

Alvey was not involved in the programme itself.

The main focus areas of the Alvey Programme were as follows:

 Advanced Microelectronics and VLSI
 Intelligent Knowledge Based Systems (IKBS) or Artificial Intelligence (AI)
 Software Engineering
 Man-Machine Interaction (including Natural Language Processing)

Alongside these areas, the provision of a communications infrastructure was a component of the programme. Various areas of endeavour were incorporated into the main focus areas. For example, systems architecture, specifically parallel processing, featured in the VLSI endeavour.

And Awaaay We Go! is an album by television personality, Jackie Gleason. It was released in May 1954 on Capitol Records (catalog no. H-511). Unlike his prior albums of mood music, the album presented a mix of mood music and comedy routines featuring characters made popular in Gleason's television appearances, including The Poor Soul, Reggie Van Gleason III, Joe the Bartender, Loudmouth Charlie Bratton, and Fenwick Babbitt.

And Awaaay We Go! became one of the best selling popular albums on Billboard magazine's pop album chart in June 1954.

Upon its release, Billboard called it a "dan-dan-dandy set". AllMusic later gave the album a rating of three stars. Reviewer Richie Unterberger opined that the comedy routines decidedly outshined the music.

Fenzy is a scuba diving and industrial breathing equipment design and manufacturing firm. It started in or before 1920 in France. Finally Honeywell bought them out.

In 1961 the company's founder and owner, Maurice Fenzy, invented a divers' adjustable buoyancy life jacket (ABLJ) (European terminology) or buoyancy compensator (BC) (North American terminology)  that became so well known that the company name has become synonymous with the item, although Fenzy also manufactured rebreathers and other items.

Some industrial breathing sets whose make names contain "Fenzy", are made by Honeywell.

The ;  or ), commonly shortened to , is a concert hall in Vienna, Austria, which is located in the Innere Stadt district. The building opened in 1870 and is the home of the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra.

The acoustics of the building's 'Great Hall' () have earned it recognition alongside other prominent concert halls, such as the Konzerthaus in Berlin, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and Symphony Hall in Boston. With the exception of Boston's Symphony Hall, none of these halls was built in the modern era with the application of architectural acoustics, and all share a long, tall and narrow shoebox shape.

Building

The 's main entrance is situated on Musikvereinsplatz, between Karlsplatz and . The building is located behind the Hotel Imperial that fronts on Kärntner Ring, which is part of the Vienna Ring Road (Ringstraße). It was erected as the new concert hall run by the Society of Friends of Music in Vienna, on a piece of land provided by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria in 1863.

The plans were designed by Danish architect Theophil Hansen in the Neoclassical style of an ancient Greek temple, including a concert hall and a smaller chamber music hall. The building was inaugurated on 6 January 1870. A major donor was Nikolaus Dumba, an industrialist and liberal politician of Aromanian-Greek descent, whose name was given by the Austrian government to a small street () near the .

The Great Hall (Großer Musikvereinssaal), also called the Golden Hall (Goldener Saal), is about  long,  wide, and  high. It has 1,744 seats and standing room for 300. The Scandal Concert of 1913 was given there, and it is the venue for the annual Vienna New Year's Concert.

The Great Hall's lively acoustics are primarily based on Hansen's intuition, as he could not rely on any studies on architectural acoustics. The room's rectangular shape and proportions, its boxes and sculptures allow early and numerous sound reflections.

The Great Hall originally included a historic pipe organ built by Friedrich Ladegast. Its first organ recital was held by Anton Bruckner in 1872. The present-day instrument was originally installed in 1907 by the Austrian firm of Rieger Orgelbau, highly esteemed by musicians such as Franz Schmidt or Marcel Dupré, and rebuilt in 2011.

In 2001, a renovation program began. Several new rehearsal halls were installed in the basement.

Halls

The names of the six halls refer to gold, Johannes Brahms, glass, metal, stone and wood respectively.
