House signs have been used since ancient times to personalise a dwelling, turning a house into a home.

Types

Stone

Stone signs are hard to beat for their durability. The most commonly used rock includes marble, granite, and slate.  Marble and Granite can look quite elegant, but do not have much scope for artwork beyond simple line drawings. Any sculptural shaping in these signs is typically very expensive. Slate has its own distinctive appearance which is also popular despite being again not suitable for carving. If gilding is desired, these signs should be hand carved for maximum visual impact. Sand-blasting, though less expensive, creates a rounded groove, with inferior reflective quality.

Cast Metal (traditional)

These signs are usually made of aluminium, iron, copper, bronze or brass in a smelting process where molten metal is poured into a mold and then allowed to cool.  The unique and prestigious look can be quite appealing but signs produced this way do come with some disadvantages: they are costly to produce; quite heavy and the manufacturing process contributes to pollution and the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Brass tends to tarnish and corrode after a few years, as does iron. Also, artwork on these signs is generally restricted to a motif chosen from a gallery or a template to avoid expensive mold costs. Nonetheless, these signs do remain popular due to their traditional appearance.

Ceramic

Ceramic signs give a very traditional feel, though there is little scope for carving or sculpting, hence they can look a little flat. These signs tend to last very well once mounted.  Care must be taken not to crack the sign in the mounting process, or by dropping it prior to installation. Ceramic signs tend to be expensive, due to the complexity of the manufacturing process.

Acrylic

Plates, similar to those made of stainless steel or brass, can be used where a more modern look is desired. Acrylic signs are best suited for indoor/outdoor or business applications, but can also be used for house signs. Light and inexpensive.

Carved

Traditionally made of wood, carved signs allow for the most creativity in terms of painting, shape, and sculpture. Western red cedar and redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) is most common, although cherry and oak are also used along with a range of darker tropical woods. Wood requires regular maintenance and repeated coats of varnish or paint.  More recently developed synthetic materials, notably high-density urethane (HDU), have been extremely successful, allowing the same quality and craftsmanship coupled with a much greater weather resistance. Carved signs have been a traditional icon of the New England states in the USA, and are frequently also gilded with real gold. Traditional hand carving techniques are still used to create carved signs, although CNC routers are sometimes employed, and some sites exist which allow users to design their own sign prior to having it hand carved.

Reverend Thomas Burns  (1853–1938) was a Scottish minister and strong campaigner for the blind. As Chair of the Royal Blind School in Edinburgh he was the creator of the Thomas Burns Home which was named after him. He was also an author on several historical subjects.

Life

He was born in Lesmahagow on 3 March 1853 the son of Reverend Thomas Burns (1807-1868), minister of the Second Charge, Lesmahagow and Agnes Maxwell McNaughton (1826-1865), daughter of Reverend Allan McNaughton (1794-1875), minister of the First Charge, Lesmahagow.

He was educated at Glasgow High School then Glasgow University. He was licensed as a Church of Scotland minister by the Presbytery of Glasgow in 1876 and ordained into Melville parish, near Montrose, Aberdeenshire in 1877. From there in 1882 he moved to the Lady Glenorchy's Church on Roxburgh Street in Edinburgh's Southside, where he served for most of his life.

In Edinburgh he also took on many additional duties, joining the Edinburgh School Board in 1888, and in 1894 taking on his most famous role, as Chairman of the Royal Blind School. In 1888 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
In 1890 he became a governor of George Heriot's Trust and in 1903 Chairman of the Edinburgh School Board. In 1906 he got an honorary Doctor of Divinity from Glasgow University.

In the First World War he saw active service as an Army Chaplain, rising to the rank of Major. He was Mentioned in Dispatches.

In 1927 he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

In 1929, under his chairmanship of the Royal Blind School, he created a new residential element, the Thomas Burns Home, on Alfred Place.

In 1931 he retired from his ministry at Lady Glenorchy's Church but continued in many other roles.

After a week's illness he died at home, 3a Chalmers Crescent in Edinburgh on 15 January 1938. He is buried in the south-west section of Grange Cemetery on one of the main east-west avenues.

Family

In 1890 he married Sarah Frances Townsend Murray (1846-1926) daughter of Charles Wilson Murray of Croston Towers in Alderley Edge, granddaughter of Hugh Lyon Playfair. Their children were Agnes Mary Frances Burns (1891-1971), Reginald Thomas Murray Burns (1892-1972), and Norman Frederick MacGregor Burns (1902-1976).

Sarah is buried with him but also memorialised on her mother's grave in Dean Cemetery.

Eye of the Night is a 1960 Australian television play. It was written by Kay Keavney and directed by Christopher Muir.

It was broadcast live on the ABC from Melbourne on the night of Wednesday 24 February. In Sydney on the same night the ABC were doing a live broadcast of the play The Turning Point. These two were the first in a series of ten plays made by the ABC in 1960 using local writers, others including The Astronauts and The Slaughter of St Teresa's Day. (Other plays possibly included Close to the Roof, Dark Under the Sun, The Square Ring, Who Killed Kovali?,  and Swamp Creatures.)

Plot
A man breaks into homes at night and terrorises women. He eludes police for two years. In the Melbourne suburb of Sunshine, a woman, Ruth Arnott, fears that a man in her own house, a man oppressed by his mother, may be the attacker. The opening scenes take place at Victorian Police Headquarters with the rest at a house in Sunshine.

Production
Early Australian TV drama production was dominated by using imported scripts but in 1960 the ABC was undertaking what has been described as "an Australiana drive" of producing local stories. This was based on an original script by Kay Keavney an experienced writer for radio as well as TV series like The Story of Peter Gray.

To prepare for the production, Muir visited the police department to study criminal detection techniques and meet psychologists. According to The Age Beverly Dunn "has a difficult role to play, involving several emotional scenes."

The 2010 Marion Mayhem season was the fifth season for the Continental Indoor Football League (CIFL) franchise, and the team's last season, as they would fail to be able to finish the season, and forfeit their last 4 games of the 2010 season. On December 24, 2009, team announced their intentions to move the Mayhem franchise to Columbus, Ohio and become the Columbus Aces before the season, citing a lack of attendance as the reason for the move. The move fell through, and the team played the 2010 season in Marion. After starting the season 3-3, the Mayhem folded, rewarding the teams that had yet to play them with victories.

Clarke Quay MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the North East line in Singapore River planning area, Singapore, located underneath Eu Tong Sen Street and New Bridge Road near the junctions of Merchant Road and North Canal Road.

Despite its name, Clarke Quay station is not physically located within Clarke Quay which lies on the northern bank of the Singapore River. Rather, the station is built along the southern bank of the river, directly connected to Clarke Quay Central. The station is located on the opposite side of the Singapore River where Clarke Quay is actually situated. This MRT station is near Fort Canning MRT station.

History

Clarke Quay MRT station was first announced for the North East Line announcement on 4 March 1996. On the 23 June 1997, North East Line Contract 708 was awarded to Nishimatsu Construction – Lum Chang Building Contractors – Bachy Soletanche Singapore Joint-Venture (JV) on 23 June 1997 for $171.2 million.

To facilitate the construction of the MRT station, the government had a mandatory acquisition of HDB flats in Clarke Quay together with Ellenborough Market in 1995-96 and residents were shifted out to the new estates such as Tampines, Jurong West and Bukit Panjang. Residents were told to move out by December 1996 before the eventual demolition in 1997.

Clarke Quay was opened on 20 June 2003 together with all the North East Line stations. Construction work began for the Clarke Quay Central, which is a shopping mall and completed in January 2007.

HTP 2 is the second album by the Hughes Turner Project, a collaboration between Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, etc.) and Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen, etc.); it was released in 2003 on MTM Music and Pony Canyon Records.

History
The second album followed 2002's HTP and the Live In Tokyo recording. Between the two releases both Hughes and Turner had issued solo albums, Hughes’ Songs In The Key Of Rock and Turner's JLT. HTP 2 follows similar musical territory to the debut; a retro hard rock sound infused with AOR and some funk, with vocal trade-offs between the two singers.

JJ Marsh, Hughes’ regular guitarist features on the record and co-wrote many of the songs. Other musicians include Hughes’ keyboardist of the time Ed Roth and drummer Shane Gaalaas. There are special guest appearances from guitarists Steve Vai and Jeff Kollman and Red Hot Chili Peppers (now Hughes’ regular) drummer Chad Smith.  Smith, Kollman and Roth later formed the all-instrumental group Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats, pulling in Kollman's former Edwin Dare bandmate, Kevin Chown, on bass.

The Japanese version of the album includes a bonus track entitled Keep On Shining.

JJ Marsh later recycled the instrumental middle part of "Lost Dreams" for his own song "The Change" on his solo album "Songs from Planet Marsh".

After the subsequent tour for the album Hughes and Turner agreed to put their collaboration on a permanent hiatus, so this is, to date, the final Hughes Turner Project recording. However the two did contribute vocals and lyrics to Moscow deputy mayor Mikhail Man’s 2005 album Made In Moscow.

Bags have been used as standard measures for a variety of commodities which were actually supplied in bags or sacks.  These include:

 Cement is commonly sold in bags of 94 pounds weight, because this is about 1 cubic foot of powdered cement.
 Agricultural produce in England was sold in bags which varied in capacity depending on the place and the commodity.  Examples include:
 a bag of wheat in Staffordshire would contain 3 Winchester bushels while a bag of oats would contain 6 standard bushels.
 in the West Country, apples would be sold in bags of from 16 to 24 gallons.  A measure of 24 gallons was known as the Cornish bushel.

 Bags are used as units by the National Agricultural Statistics Service of the United States Department of Agriculture for the following commodities:
 coffee = 60 kg
 flour = 100 pounds
 grapefruit = 40 pounds
 rice = 100 pounds

The Oxford English Dictionary has a definition of "bag" as "A measure of quantity for produce, varying according to the nature of the commodity" and has quotations illustrating its use for hops in 1679, almonds in 1728 (where it is defined by weight as "about 3 Hundred Weight" i.e.  in Imperial units) and potatoes in 1845 (where it is a volume measure of "three bushels" - i.e. ).

The 2021 Omloop Het Nieuwsblad was a road cycling one-day race that took place on 27 February 2021 in Belgium, starting in Gent and finishing in Ninove. It was the 76th edition of the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and the second event of the 2021 UCI World Tour.

The Omloop Het Nieuwsblad is a race that is usually won by a solo rider or is decided by a sprint from a small group of several riders. However, this year, the good weather and the race conditions contributed to a comparatively large group of over 50 riders that contested the final sprint.  led from the front as their lead-out train, including current World Road Race champion Julian Alaphilippe, tried to set up in-form sprinter Davide Ballerini for the win. In the ensuing sprint, Ballerini won easily, having not been troubled by any of the other sprinters. Behind him, neo-pro Jake Stewart slipped past 2012 winner Sep Vanmarcke along the barriers to take second. For his part, Vanmarcke held off Heinrich Haussler with the bike throw on the line to secure third, that being the former's third third-place result in the race after back-to-back third places in 2017 and 2018.

Teams 
Twenty-five teams participated in the race, including all nineteen UCI WorldTour teams and six UCI ProTeams. Each team entered seven riders for a total of 175 riders, of which 140 finished.
