The Irish Gold Cup (Irish: Corn Óir na hÉireann) is a Grade 1 National Hunt steeplechase in Ireland which is open to horses aged five years or older. It is run at Leopardstown over a distance of about 3 miles (4,828 metres), and during its running there are seventeen fences to be jumped. The race is scheduled to take place each year in February.

The event was first run in 1987, and it was originally titled the Vincent O'Brien Irish Gold Cup. It was named after Vincent O'Brien (1917–2009), who was a successful racehorse trainer. The race was renamed the Hennessy Gold Cup in 1991, when Hennessy began sponsoring and it was often referred to as the "Irish Hennessy", as there was also a long-established chase in Great Britain called the Hennessy Gold Cup. Hennessy's sponsorship ended after the 2015 running and the 2016 event was run as the unsponsored Irish Gold Cup. Unibet sponsored the Irish Gold Cup from 2017 to 2019.  In 2017, it was run as the Stan James Irish Gold Cup Chase and in 2018 and 2019 as the Unibet Irish Gold Cup. Since 2020 the race has been sponsored by Paddy Power.

Throughout its history the race has served as a leading trial for the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Four horses have won both events in the same year – Jodami (1993), Imperial Call (1996), Sizing John (2017) and Galopin Des Champs (2023).

Robert Patton-Spruill is an independent film director, screenwriter, producer, professor, master distiller, and real estate empresario. His company, FilmShack, was based in Boston. Spruill lives in Winchester, New Hampshire where he founded New England Sweetwater Farm and Distillery in 2015. Spruill was a professor at Emerson College, where he was Director in Residence until his retirement in 2020.

Biography

Spruill was born in Roxbury and raised by theatre artists James Spruill and Lynda Patton, who worked with the New African Company. He is a second cousin of Boston's first black and first female mayor Kim Janey through his maternal side. He attended Boston University as a history major, but decided to pursue film instead, and wrote the screenplay for his first film Squeeze while still in college. Squeeze (1997) was shot on a US$155,000 budget, and was cast with young Boston theatre students whom Spruill taught at the Dorchester Youth Collaborative. Squeeze was bought by Miramax at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival, after which Spruill was signed for international representation by the William Morris Agency in Hollywood. Patton-Spruill later moved back to Boston where he subsequently directed three more motion pictures. He currently resides in Winchester, New Hampshire with his wife, Patricia Moreno, who he met during his time at BU and his only child, Alejandra Spruill, a Boston Latin School and Emerson College graduate.

Films & Career 

After his first film, Patton-Spruill directed Body Count (1998), a straight-to-video Showtime feature, after which he and his wife Patti Moreno over a 10-year period opened their own production company, studio, and rental business for low-budget filmmakers in his home town of Roxbury, MA. Since the opening of FilmShack in 2000, Spruill and Moreno produced numerous short films, music videos and independent features, including Turntable (AFI Film Festival, 2005). The music video Spruill directed for the popular hip hop band Public Enemy led to the production of the full-length documentary Welcome to the Terrordome (2007).

Spruill made the documentary Do It Again in 2010, which followed Boston Globe reporter Geoff Edgers on his irrational quest to reunite the classic rock band The Kinks. Do It Again premiered at the Rotterdam International Film Festival on January 28, 2010, and was shown at several film festivals.

Other work directed by Spruill includes Garden Girl TV, a web series starring his wife as Patti Moreno the Garden Girl. The website has produced over 200 how-to videos about urban gardening, and FilmShack produces gardening and home improvement videos for  HGTV.com.

Patton Spruill has taught at Emerson College, Massachusetts College of Art, and Curry College.

Small Cajal body specific RNA 25 (otherwise known as scaRNA25, HBI-100, MBI-100, and MBI-114) is a scaRNA, which are a class of ncRNAs characterised as small nuclear RNAs localised to the Cajal bodies.

ScaRNA25 was originally identified in a large scale cloning project in mice.
Later sequence analysis predicted that this RNA guides the pseudouridylation of position U40 in the U6 snRNA.

Les Aventures électriques de Zeltron is an educational children's television series broadcast on Antenne 2's Récré A2 program in France and TVJQ in Quebec, Canada. The show was sponsored by Électricité de France (EDF) and was produced from 1979 to 1982. The companies D-3-mil and CIP Vidéo worked on the show and the staff included Marcel Dupuoy.

The show features an extraterrestrial named Zeltron (voiced by Michel Elias), who resembles a small blue insulator with orange limbs and a bolt on top, as he teaches electricity-related subjects and history. Some episodes include his adventures and conversations with Jo and Jessie, a boy and girl living on Earth. Episodes end with a question the viewer can answer through postcard. Another character is the robot Voltix.

In the show's production, Zeltron and Voltix are marionettes with different colors than they appear in the show. A process was used to achieve cartoon-like visuals for the two characters. Early in the show's run, the backgrounds were illustrated before switching to reel footage.

The character Zeltron was created by François Castan and made earlier appearances at the Salon de l'enfance and Les Visiteurs du mercredi in 1978. Zeltron was merchandised through products such as comics published by GP, plastic figurines, and a key ring of Zeltron with movable eyes. According to Yves Bouvier of the University of Savoy, Zeltron was the most successful EDF effort at teaching the concepts of electricity and promoting its brand towards children.

Kottenbutter or Kottenbotter is a sandwich consisting of buttered brown bread or Mischbrot, smoked pork sausage ("Mettwurst"), onion rings and a spread of spicy mustard. Other variants supplement pork with horse meat ("Kottenwurst") or Balkenbrij. The sandwich is common in the Bergisches Land region of Germany, in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Origin and nomenclature 
This local, rustic specialty was the common lunch of the metal workers along the Wupper river in Remscheid, Wuppertal and particularly Solingen, who used grinding wheels powered by the river to sharpen knife blades and to debur steel blanks. As self-employed subcontractors for larger companies in the city centres, they had to grind the steelware blanks under time pressure. Despite the strenuous and hazardous work on the large grindstone (pneumoconiosis and injuries from the driving belt), a two-man operation could not afford a proper meal, so the sandwich was invented as a quick meal that was still plentiful in calories.

As the workers lived and worked in grinding houses, similar to cottages (German: Kotten), the sandwich was named after them.

Relevance today 
The Kottenbutter still appears on lists today of specialties in the Bergisches Land and is sometimes eaten at special, inaugural events. It also features as part of a "Kaffeetafel" meeting, where a local group will gather and enjoy tea or coffee with Kottenbutter. In August 2021, the Solinger Tageblatt even suggested that offerings of Kottenbutter could be an effective method for encouraging the elderly population to take the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

On the occasion of 100th anniversary of the construction of the Lüttringhausen town hall, a local butcher's and baker's collaborated to create a 32m (105ft) long Kottenbutter for a local fête.
