The 1919 Vernon Tigers season was the 11th season in the history of the Vernon Tigers baseball team. Playing in the Pacific Coast League (PCL), the team compiled a 111–70 record and won the PCL pennant. "Vinegar Bill" Essick was the team's manager from 1918 to 1925. Film star Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle  was the team owner and president.

After the regular season ended, the Tigers defeated Mike Kelley's St. Paul Saints in a nine-game series at Washington Park in Los Angeles The series was billed as the "Little World Series" to determine the championship of western minor league baseball.

Bribery scandal

The Tigers' championship was marred by revelations of a gambling scandal involving first baseman Babe Borton. Borton admitted paying money to three players on the Salt Lake City Bees to throw games against the Tigers. Borton claimed that bribes had also been paid by a teammate to Portland and Seattle players, that the bribes were paid out of a pool of money funded by numerous teammates, and that the bribes were instigated by Vernor manager Bill Essick. Borton was released by the Tigers in 1920 and never again played professional baseball. Other accounts indicated that a Seattle gambler was behind the bribery scheme.

Position players
Third baseman/outfielder Bob Meusel led the Tigers with a .337 batting average, 221 hits, 38 doubles, 14 home runs, a .504 slugging percentage, and 330 total bases. His 221 hits ranked second in the PCL behind Sam Crawford. Meusel later played 10 seasons for the New York Yankees from 1920 to 1929.

Babe Borton compiled a .303 batting average with 15 doubles, 10 triples, and 14 home runs (tied with Meusel for third in the PCL).

Left fielder Hugh High, who played in the majors from 1913 to 1918, had a .317 average to finish second on the team behind Meusel.

Center fielder Chet Chadbourne, who played in the majors off-and-on from 1906 to 1918, ranked second on the team behind Meusel in hits (212), doubles (33), and total bases (269).

Pitchers
Wheezer Dell, a native of Tuscarora, Nevada, led the team with 25 wins, 50 pitching appearances, and 351 innings pitched. Dell won 103 games for Vernon from 1919 to 1922 and was later inducted into the Pacific Coast League Hall of Fame.

Art Fromme, who played in the majors from 1906 to 1915, also pitched well for the 1919 Tigers, compiling a 20-7 record and leading the team with a 2.23 earned run average.

Byron Houck, who played in the majors off and on from 1912 to 1918, compiled a 19-16 record with a 3.88 earned run average.

Happy Finneran, who pitched in the majors from 1912 to 1918, compiled a 14-4 record (.778 winning percentage) with a 2.49 earned run average.

The Hutton Terrace drill hall is a former military installation in Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne.

History
The building was designed as a drill hall in the early 20th century and became the headquarters of the 8th (Cyclist) Battalion, The Northumberland Fusiliers when that unit was renamed the Northern Cyclist Battalion in 1910. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before moving to its pre-planned war station at Morpeth. The drill hall was, at that time, also home to 1st Northumbrian Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps. The Northern Cyclist Battalion was absorbed into the 3rd (Northumbrian) Medium Brigade, Royal Garrison Artillery in 1920. Prior to the Second World War, the headquarters of 149th (Northumberland) Infantry Brigade was based at the drill hall. The building has since been redeveloped for residential use.

The William H. Seward House Museum is a historic house museum at 33 South Street in Auburn, New York.  Built about 1816,  the home of William H. Seward (1801–72), who served as a New York state senator, the governor of New York, a U.S. senator, a presidential candidate, and then Secretary of State under presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson.  The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964, and added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.  It is now maintained by nonprofit organization as a museum dedicated to Seward's legacy.

Description
The Seward House is located south of the center of Auburn, on the west side of South Street opposite Grover Street.  Its core element is a two-story brick structure, with a gabled roof.  To this house William Seward made numerous additions, beginning with a two-story tower and wing at the west end in 1847, to which a porte-cochere and carriage house were added.  In 1866, he added another narrower wing and three-story tower to the south side of the house, and additional separate carriage houses were built further south on the property.

History
The core of the house was built in 1816 by Judge Elijah Miller, Seward's father-in-law.  Much of the actual construction of the house was done by the carpenter John C. Jeffries as well as his apprentice Brigham Young, who later became the leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  The house remained in the hands of Seward's descendants until 1951, when it was turned over to a nonprofit for conversion to a museum.

Among other notable accomplishments, Seward negotiated the 1867 purchase of Alaska from Russia, which became known as "Seward's Folly". Although he spent many years in Albany and Washington, D.C., he called this house his home from the time of his marriage in 1824 until his death.  The entire house remains furnished with extensive Seward-family collections.

The Lake Lescarbot is located in the La Tuque (urban agglomeration), in Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada. The territory is administered by Zec Kiskissink.

Geography 

Lake Lescarbot is shaped like a large V, with three peninsula emerging from the eastern shore, south of the lake. The left arm of the V has a length of 4.8 km, against 3.5 km for the right arm of V.
 
Lake Lescarbot is fed by six main discharges: 
 "Lac du billot" (Lake of block) (5.2 miles north). Note: the Aegis lake is a tributary of the outlet of the "lac du billot",
 Lake Asik (3.7 km East),
 Lake of Bauge (6.3 km East) which is located almost at the water line breaker,
 Lake Ventadour (1.1 km to the south), which is regarded as the first head of the Bostonnais River,
 Lake André-Louis (4 miles west). 
 Grand Lake macousine (2 km to the west).

The mouth of the lake is at the top of the left arm of the V. River outlet of Lake Lescarbot is 3.2 km long (measured by water) and flows to the south of Lake Kiskissink.

Lescarbot lake is located near (west side) of the boundary waters between the Métabetchouane River and Bostonnais River.

Toponymy 
The origin of the name is related to Marc Lescarbot, a Frenchman born at Versins in Picardy, in 1570, a scholar, lawyer, traveler, writer, broker. He came to settle in Port Royal, Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, in 1606. However, in 1607, he had to return to France because of the revocation of the monopoly of the fur trade held by Pierre du Gua de Monts. Upon his arrival back in France, Lescarbot began writing a history of New France, which during his lifetime was published in three editions (1609, 1611-1612 and 1617-1618), enriched whenever he was able to get new information from people who returned to France after living in French Canada. Each edition of this work includes "The Neptune Theatre", a play composed and performed in 1606 to celebrate the return of Jean de Biencourt Poutrincourt from his posting as commander of Port Royal. This play was probably the first stage performance in North America.
 
The name "Lake Lescarbot" was officially registered on 6 December 1968 in the databank of place names of the Commission de toponymie du Québec (Geographical Names Board of Québec).

Air Base 126 Solenzara ()  is a French Air and Space Force (Armée de l'air et de l'espace) (ALAE) base located in the village of Ventiseri approximately 40 km north-northeast of Porto-Vecchio on Corsica.
It is just north of the mouth of the Travo River on the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Today the Air Base is a NATO tactical training center. It hosts: 
 Escadron d'Hélicoptères 1/44 Solenzara with the Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma

World War II

During World War II the air base was constructed by the United States Army Air Force Twelfth Air Force XII Engineer Command as an all-weather temporary field built using Pierced Steel Planking for runways and parking areas, as well as for dispersal sites.   In addition, tents were used for billeting and also for support facilities; an access road was built to the existing road infrastructure; a dump for supplies, ammunition, and gasoline drums, along with a drinkable water and minimal electrical grid for communications and station lighting.   As the airfield was not located on mainland France, no Advanced Landing Ground identifier was designated, and it was called Solenzara Airfield.

The airfield was designed for fighter, medium bomber units, as well as for command and control.   Known units assigned were:
 HQ, 57th Bombardment Wing, 20 April-5 October 1944
 310th Bombardment Group, 10 December 1943 – 7 April 1945, B-25 Mitchell
 324th Fighter Group, 19 July 1944 – 25 August 1944, P-40 Warhawk

Both the 310th and 324th flew combat missions in support of the Invasion of Southern France (Operation Dragoon) during July and August 1944.   At the end of the war, the American combat units moved out for their return to the United States.  The airfield was then turned over to the French government in July 1945.

Corsican conflict

On the night of 13 January 1978, nine armed militiamen wearing balaclavas stormed and bombed the NATO radar station at Solenzara using 40 kg of explosives, in the so-called "Operation Zara".

Hospital Point () is a point formed by an ice cliff with a small amount of rock exposed at its base, lying at the north side of Yankee Harbour immediately east of Glacier Bluff, Greenwich Island, in the South Shetland Islands. It was charted and named "Rocky Point" by Discovery Investigations personnel on the Discovery II in 1935. In order to avoid duplication the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee rejected this name in 1961 and substituted a new one. Hospital Point derives from "Hospital Cove", a name for Yankee Harbour in common use among British sealers in the 1820s and British whalers in the 1920s.

The Technical Writer is a 2003 drama film directed by Scott Saunders, who co-wrote screenplay with lead actor Michael Harris. It also stars Tatum O'Neal and William Forsythe.

Plot
A shut-in is seduced by the new neighbour from downstairs.

Michael Harris - Jessup
Tatum O'Neal - Slim
William Forsythe - Joe
Pamela Gordon - Camille
Oksana Babiy - Nasty (as Oksana Babiy)
Natalia Novikova - Risa
John Lanzillotto- Johnny the doorman

Reception
The film received mixed to poor reviews. Liz Braun, writing in the Toronto Sun, gives it 3 1/2 out of 5 and states "The Technical Writer is a film that works because of the writing. Jessup's transformation -- via passion -- is not a Hollywood geek-to-hunk fantasy but a rather endearing study of a regular guy's surprise to discover his own capacity for joy." Film Threat's Merle Bertrand concluded "This is still a decent film, however. Like an instruction booklet that's actually well written and interesting, “The Technical Writer” is, for the most part, a pleasant and unexpected surprise." Variety's Dennis Harvey begins "A tepid drama that starts out looking like a routine erotic-thriller but ends up as something even less interesting". Geoff Pevere of the Toronto Star gave it 2/5 saying "While the set-up is pure neo-noir -- vamp wife, slimeball husband, sucker hero -- The Technical Writer takes its eye off the light at the end of the tunnel." Writing in the Globe and Mail Stephen Cole gave it one star, saying "What a load! The Technical Writer is a numbingly bad movie and a glorious inspiration to every wannabe filmmaker with a "deeply personal" script wasting away in the bottom drawer of his or her desk."

Phalaenopsis venosa, is a species of orchid endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia. The specific epithet venosa, from the Latin venosus meaning veiny, refers to the floral colouration.

Description
The plants usually have 3-5 10–20 cm long and 5–7.5 cm wide leaves. The 4–5 cm wide flowers with a light green anther cap are produced on erect, branched or unbranched inflorescences with a flattened rhachis. Mature specimens can produce several inflorescences at once. The base of the oblong-elliptic petals and sepals, as well as the column and the labellum is white. The ground colour of the greenish-yellow petals and sepals is almost concealed by brown colouration and transverse barring, although veins of the ground colour remain visible, which are reflected in the species name. The floral fragrance has been reported to be unpleasant. The diploid chromosome count is 2n = 38. The karyotype is bimodal and thus small and larger chromosomes are present. Large heterochromatin blocks are present at the ends of the large metacentric or submetacentric chromosomes.

Ecology 
This species inhabits wet lowland forests at elevations of 450–1000 m above sea level.

Taxonomy
It is placed within the section Amboinenses, as it is the sister species to Phalaenopsis amboinensis. It has a wider labellum than Phalaenopsis amboinensis.

Conservation
It has been reported to be threatened to extinction. Endemic species of Sulawesi are threatened with conversion of habitats to housing areas, plantations, roads and through illegal logging.
