Melvin Maynard Johnson Jr. (August 6, 1909 – January 9, 1965), nicknamed Maynard Johnson, was an American designer of firearms, lawyer, and United States Marine Corps officer.

Biography

Born into an affluent Boston, Massachusetts, family, he was commissioned into the Marine Corps Reserve in 1933 as a Second Lieutenant and completed Harvard Law School in 1934. Johnson designed a recoil-operated rifle (M1941 Johnson rifle) while serving for the Marines as an observer at the Army's Springfield Armory in 1935. Johnson received four U.S. patents on various design features. He also designed the Johnson Light Machine Gun, derived from the M1941 rifle, which was used in limited numbers during World War II and the M1947 Johnson auto carbine, also derived from the M1941 rifle and M1941 light machine gun.

He co-authored the 1942 book Weapons for the Future, which is part of the Infantry Journal series. The other author was Army Ordnance Corps member Charles T. Haven. Throughout the war, Johnson put up a lot of effort to promote his machine gun and rifle.

Johnson transferred to the Army Ordnance Corps Reserve from the Marine Corps Reserve in 1949 and rose to the rank of Colonel. In 1949, Winchester bought the Johnson Automatics corporation and employed Johnson for a short period. While at Winchester, Johnson was employed alongside "Carbine" Williams though it is unknown if they worked on the same projects. 

He was later appointed as weapons consultant to the Secretary of Defense in 1951.

Johnson's patents were used by Armalite on the AR-10, AR-15, and later M16 rifles. Johnson was hired by Armalite as a consultant to promote their rifle incorporating his bolt design. Johnson also worked to improve the M1 Carbine eventually developing the 5.7mm MMJ (commonly known as .22 Spitfire) cartridge, unsuccessfully submitting it to the U.S. Ordnance Department as a cost effective alternate cartridge conversion for the M1 Carbine. Such conversions are easily accomplished by replacing the barrel, or relining the barrel with a .22 caliber liner and restoring the gas port, as well as adding a caliber specific feed ramp. In 1963, he then started Johnson Arms, Inc. to make, sell, convert, and promote M1 Carbines using his 5.7mm MMJ cartridge.

While on a business trip to New York City in 1965, Johnson died of a heart attack. He is buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Designs 
Johnson's practice was to give all of his weapons a "pet" nicknames.

Meet the Moonlight is the eighth studio album by American musician Jack Johnson. The album was released on June 24, 2022, and marks Johnson's first release in five years. Johnson worked with producer Blake Mills on the album, and released the lead single "One Step Ahead" on April 8, 2022.

Production 
Johnson worked on this album with producer Blake Mills who had previously worked with Alabama Shakes and Fiona Apple. In an article with Rolling Stone, Johnson was asked how he connected with Mills, he stated, "When Blake and I first got in touch we'd send each other playlists, and over time we realized we were drawn to music that sounds effortless despite all the effort put into making it. After a while we got a language together and I gained a trust in him that allowed me to let go, push outside my comfort zone, and get to a sound I really loved."

Recording 
The album was recorded at The Mango Tree, Jack's home studio, and at EastWest Studios and Sound City Studios in Los Angeles. In an interview with Kyle Meredith from Consequence of Sound, Johnson stated that most of the album was recorded by Johnson and Mills themselves, and his band of Zach Gill, Merlo Podleweski and Adam Topol added finishing touches. Johnson praised Mills for his guitar playing, and stated that he is one of the greatest guitar players of all time in an interview with Zane Lowe.

Commercial performance 
The album performed poorly in many nations compared to previous Jack Johnson releases. The album debuted on the Billboard 200 at number 47 with 13,787 units sold, 10,292 being pure album sales. It is his first studio album not to reach the top 10 since 2001's Brushfire Fairytales. The album also reached number 70 in Australia, ending his streak of 7 straight top 5 albums.

Tour 
On June 21, 2022, Jack Johnson embarked on a 35-stop tour of the United States to promote the album, entitled the Meet the Moonlight Tour. The tour began at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford, New Hampshire and visited major cities across the United States (including Hawaii) and Canada. On the tour, Jack Johnson was joined on various dates by artists such as Grammy Award winner Ziggy Marley, Ben Harper, and Durand Jones & The Indications. In November, Jack Johnson will tour the album in Australia and New Zealand, and will be accompanied by Ziggy Alberts, Emily Wurramara, and The Black Seeds.

The La Prevoyante Stakes is a thoroughbred horse race run annually in mid September at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. An Ontario Sire Stakes, it is a restricted race for three-year-old fillies. It is contested over a distance of one and one-sixteenth miles (8.5 furlongs) on all-weather track and currently carries a purse of $125,000.

Inaugurated in 1975, it was raced at a distance of seven furlongs until 1979 when it was modified to a distance of one mile. Beginning in 2018, it was run at  miles on the all-weather track. For 1977 only, the race was run on dirt and in 1979 it was run in two divisions.

The race was named to honor the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame and U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee, La Prevoyante. Owned by Quebec businessman and prominent racing stable owner, Jean-Louis Levesque's, La Prevoyante went undefeated in all twelve of her races in 1972 and was voted U.S. Champion 2-Year-Old Filly and Canadian Horse of the Year. In 1974, she collapsed and died of a ruptured lung following the Miss Florida Handicap at Calder Race Course, which also honored her with its own La Prevoyante Stakes. The La Prevoyante at Calder has since been moved to Gulfstream Park.

Deeon Boyd (October 5, 1966 – July 18, 2023), known under his stage name DJ Deeon, was an American Chicago house DJ, credited with pioneering ghetto house and helping create the Dance Mania label.

Early life 
Boyd was born in Chicago in 1966. Growing up in a housing project in the South Side, he became interested in electronic music after listening to "Numbers" by Kraftwerk off their 1981 album Computer World, later discovering house mixes on WBMX.

Career 
Boyd started DJing in 1980, with Boyd being influenced by Kraftwerk, John Rocca, and Soulsonic Force. He helped with the creation of the Dance Mania label with Ray Barney as well as creating the sound of ghetto house in the Chicago area. 

Boyd released his debut EP in 1994, named "Funk City". After "Funk City", he released "Freak Like Me" in 1996, which is regarded as his most successful work. Boyd would continue to release music regarded as classics in the house genre, such as "Bomb 96", "2 B Free", "Wicked", "Back 2 Skool", "House-O-Matic" and "The Freaks". He was named in the Daft Punk song "Teachers" from their 1997 album Homework. 

In 2015, the record label Numbers reissued four tracks from Boyd in the EP Deeon Doez Deeon!. In 2016, a remix of his track "Freak Like Me" by Lee Walker featuring Katy B and MNEK was released on Defected Records, reaching #80 on the UK Singles Chart. In 2021, Boyd released Destiny on the label Teklife, with the proceeds of the project going to DJ Rashad's family after his death in 2014. Starting from May 5, 2023, Boyd released four EPs over the span of 2 days, those EPs being "Bad Robot", "Glasgow to London", "My CPU" and "Space Age Digital Pimp".

Personal life 
In July 2020, Boyd launched a crowdfunding campaign for his health issues, having no income from gigs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and no disability benefits due to his previous touring. In June 2022, he revealed through his Facebook account that he had gone through amputation and pneumonia and was in an intensive care unit. A GoFundMe had started to cover his medical costs. On July 18, 2023, he died of undisclosed causes.

Artistry 
Boyd's style has been described as minimal and raunchy, a staple of the ghetto house genre. He personally described his work as "Get-freaky-with-a-stranger music. Girls kissing girls music. Stress-relief music." He was known for using the Roland TR-909 drum machine as the main backbone of his tracks, the instrument "pushed to the breaking point, asked to provide a waterfall of drum sounds".
