The Lubbock Crickets were the first minor league baseball team to play in Lubbock, Texas after a 39-year hiatus. The Crickets joined the Texas-Louisiana League in 1995 as the first team not known as the Lubbock Hubbers. The team was named after Buddy Holly's band, The Crickets.

1995
The Crickets started off strong, going 31-19 in the first half of '95 season. They fell to 22-28 in the second half,  but then beat the Amarillo Dillas in the playoffs and the Alexandria Aces in the finals.  The Crickets finished the '95 season with an overall record of 53-47, while also winning the league championship. Managed by Greg Minton, Lubbock had one All-Star, shortstop Rouglas Odor. Odor was added to the team midseason and hit .287. Third baseman Frank Bolick (.355) was second in the TLL average while the staff was led by Frank DiPino (9-5, 12 Sv, 3.39).

1996
The Crickets went 27-23 in the first half of the '96 season, and 32-17 in the second half, finishing with an overall record of 59-40. Lubbock beat the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings in two games in the first round of the playoffs, but lost the championship game to the Abilene Prairie Dogs. Minton's team included several All-Stars: utility player Mike Hardge (.303, 28 SB), starting pitcher Steve Duda (11-8, 3.76) and starting pitcher Ron Gerstein (14-4, 3.56). 1st Baseman Chris Norton batted .380 with 15 home runs.

1997
In 1997 The Crickets struggled under new manager Glenn Sullivan, finishing with a record of 38-50. Mike Hardge was again named to the All-Star team as a utility player.

1998
1998 would be the Lubbock Crickets' last season. Finishing 39-45, outfielder Derek Vaughn (.350, 46 SB) made the All-Star team, while outfielder Jason Landreth (.377, 22 SB) was third in the TLL in average.

1999

The Crickets suspended operations for the 1999 season because of uncertain stadium availability, according to Texas-Louisiana League President Byron Pierce.  The Crickets had leased Dan Law Field from Texas Tech since their inception in 1995, but the expansion of the NCAA baseball playoffs to 64 teams in 1999 created a stadium availability issue. This wasn't a new issue for the Lubbock Crickets. In 1996, The Crickets' first 10 games were played on the road followed by a home opener on May 30. In 1997, the Crickets played their home opener on May 29, seven days after the season started. In 1998, the season started on May 21 but the Crickets did not play a single home game until June 1. Team officials and Texas-Louisiana league informally discussed the idea of a building a new stadium in Lubbock. The $2 million proposal included a 4,000-seat facility with lights, dressing rooms and adequate concessions. However, with attendance numbers declining, financial woes, and stadium uncertainty, the team franchise dissolved following the 1998 season.

Brahmahatya (), also rendered Brahmanahatya () is the Sanskrit term for "the killing of a Brahmin". It is translated as Brahminicide in English. The Manusmriti regards the murder of a Brahmin to be the greatest of sins, and the highest of the mahapatakas (mortal sins). 

Brahmahatya is also personified as a hideous woman in Hindu texts such as the Puranas. Described to possess red hair and wear blue robes, she is stated to laugh boisterously, chasing the murderers of Brahmins.

Literature 
The Ramayana describes the conflict between Indra and Vritra. After Indra slays Vritra, he incurs the sin of brahmahatya and is immediately paralysed, falling unconscious. The deities arrange for the purification of Indra's sin with the performance of the ashvamedha sacrifice. In the same epic, to expiate Rama's sin of brahmahatya for the killing of Ravana, Sita creates a lingam out of sand for the worship of Shiva, which was installed at the temple of Rameswaram.

The Matsya Purana describes the legend of Shiva's form of Bhikshatana. Having decapitated one of Brahma's heads, Shiva incurs the sin of brahmahatya, with the skull of the deity stuck to his palm. For the atonement of this sin, the deity assumed the guise of a mendicant and wandered across the land until he reached Kashi, where he achieved redemption.  

Some texts state that bathing at the water bodies of a tirtha, a Hindu site of pilgrimage, cleanses one of the sin of brahmahatya.

Karl Bernhard Woldemar Ferdinand von Ditmar (sometimes Carl von Ditmar) ( in Vändra –  in Tartu) was a Baltic German geologist and explorer, who travelled in and contributed to the scientific understanding of Kamchatka.

Life and work
Karl von Ditmar was born in Vändra, present-day Estonia as the son of jurist Woldemar Friedrich Carl Ditmar and Charlotte Ditmar, née Stackelberg. He studied at the University of Tartu in 1841–1847, where he befriended Leopold von Schrenck and Karl Maximovich, as well as Karl Ernst von Baer. Ditmar began studying agricultural science but after some time changed to mineralogy and geology under Otto Wilhelm Hermann von Abich and Hermann Martin Asmuss. After having graduated university with a master's degree, Ditmar in 1846–1848 travelled Europe and among other things attended lectures at the Freiberg Mining Academy in present-day Germany. In 1848 he returned to Russia and Saint Petersburg, and through his friendship with Leopold von Schrenck was introduced to Alexander von Middendorff at the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

In 1851 Ditmar undertook a voyage to Kamchatka which would last until 1854, and there undertook important scientific investigations. His account of the travels in Kamchatka, published first in 1890, is still used by scientists involved in studies of Kamchatka.

In 1855–1856, Ditmar also made a geographical survey trip in the area of the river Amur. He returned to Livonia in 1856 and settled in his estate at Käru, and in 1858 married Wilhelmina Stackelberg. The couple had four daughters.

Iancu Sasul (John the Saxon) or Ioan Vodă V (Voivode John V; d. September 28, 1582 in Lviv) was the bastard son of Petru Rareş from his relationship with the wife of Braşov Transylvanian Saxon Iorg (Jürgen) Weiss, and Prince of Moldavia between November 1579 and September 1582.

Bid for the throne

Let in on the secret of his lineage by his mother, Iancu renounced the inheritance of his stepfamily and moved to Istanbul, in order to bid for his father's throne. Marrying into the Palaeologus family of former Byzantine Emperors (to Maria), and taking advantage of the weakened position of Moldavian Prince Petru Şchiopul, he borrowed money from Venetian former Dragoman and high dignitary (sfetnic) of Petru Şchiopul Bartolomeo Brutti, and managed to gain the office. Iancu also benefited from the influence that his half-sister, Doamna Chiajna (the widow of Wallachian Prince Mircea Ciobanul and mother of Petru cel Tânăr), exercised on Ottoman authorities.

Reign

The Prince's reign was marked by excessive and highly inventive taxing, motivated by the increasing debt and his ambition to accumulate a sizable personal fortune on the side. Iancu was to go down in history as the mind behind the much-hated văcărit tax, whereby every tenth head of cattle was confiscated by the state (vacă is Romanian for "cow").

Brutti became part of the retinue and was placed in charge of finances. His privileged position angered Chiajna, and she took to undermining Iancu's standing, forming an alliance with disgruntled boyars. What added to Iancu's isolation were his privileged contacts with the Holy Roman Empire, presumably entertained in order to offer a safe haven in case of need. When he received news of the Porte's intent to depose him, Iancu fled the country, carrying an immense fortune that was said to fit in 100 carts (of which 40 would have been filled with currency alone). He attempted to take refuge on newly-bought estates in Transylvania, but he was arrested on his passage through Poland and decapitated in Lviv.

Iancu Sasul fathered a son, Bogdan Sasul (mentioned in 1596), and two daughters: Chrisotina (married to a certain Antonios Katakalos) and Maria (married to the Venetian nobleman Giovanni Zane).

Katherine Perry (January 5, 1897 – October 14, 1983), also known as Kathryn Perry, was an American stage and film actress. She appeared in 37 films between 1920 and 1936.

Biography
Katherine Perry was born on January 5, 1897. Although she spent a brief time in a private school, the bulk of Perry's education came in public schools.

Before she became an actress, Perry worked as a model. She was in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1911, 1917, 1918, 1919, and the more risqué Midnight Frolic show in 1918. Apart from the Follies, she also acted on Broadway in (From) Broadway to Paris, which ran from November 1912 to January 1913, The Passing Show of 1913, Robinson Crusoe, Jr. (1916), The Century Girl (1916-1917), and Miss 1917. Her final appearance on Broadway came in 1933, with Perry acting in Blackbirds of 1933 which ran throughout the month of December.

She made her film debut in Sooner or Later (1920). She next appeared in minor roles in The Chicken in the Case (1921) and Why Girls Leave Home (1921), in which she was billed as Mrs. Owen Moore. Her first starring role was in Fools and Riches (1923), starring alongside Herbert Rawlinson. Afterwards, she appeared in several short films before starring in Early to Wed (1926) with Matt Moore and Albert Gran and Blood Will Tell (1927).

In the 1930s, she was reduced to acting in uncredited roles. She played Clara Bow's maid in Call Her Savage (1932), and made her final screen appearance in 15 Maiden Lane (1936).

She was the second wife of Owen Moore. They married on July 16, 1921, in Greenwich, Connecticut. The couple acted in the films The Chicken in the Case (1921), A Divorce of Convenience (1921), Reported Missing (1922), Love Is an Awful Thing (1922), Husbands for Rent (1927), and Side Street (1929) together.

Henry Wellesley, 3rd Duke of Wellington (5 April 1846 – 8 June 1900) was a British peer and Conservative Party politician.

Early life
He was a son of Lord Charles Wellesley and grandson of the 1st Duke of Wellington. He was born with no title but inherited the dukedom when in 1884 his uncle died childless.

Between 1859 and 1865 he attended Eton.

Career

He joined the 2nd Battalion, Grenadier Guards as an ensign on 16 May 1865, was promoted to major on 1 July 1881, and retired from the service on 28 June 1882. He unsuccessfully contested the Parliamentary constituency of Andover in 1868. He won the seat in 1874 and held it until the next election, 1880.

He succeeded his uncle as Duke of Wellington on 13 August 1884. Subsequently, his sisters Victoria and Mary were granted the rank of daughters of a Duke. He was appointed honorary colonel of the Hampshire Artillery on 22 November 1884, and the 6th West York Militia on 10 April 1886. He held both honours until his death. He was special ambassador to Spain for the funeral of Alfonso XII in 1885, and chairman of the Society for the Suppression of Mendicity.

Personal life

On 7 March 1882, Wellesley married Evelyn Katrine Gwenfra Williams (1855–1939), a daughter of Thomas Peers Williams, MP for Great Harlow, and sister of Owen Williams, MP, Hwfa Williams, and Edith Peers-William (wife of the 7th Earl of Aylesford) among others.

Wellington died at the family home of Strathfield Saye in 1900 and was buried there. As Evelyn and Henry had no issue, he was succeeded by his brother, Arthur Charles. His widow, who remarried to a Wellesley cousin Hon. Frederick Arthur Wellesley (son of Henry Wellesley, 1st Earl Cowley), died on 11 March 1939.

In popular culture
In her memoirs, Lady Angela Forbes comments that "The Duke was the fattest man I have ever seen, and went by the nickname of "Spurgeon".

A silhouette racing car is a race car which, although bearing a superficial resemblance to a production model, differs mechanically in fundamental ways. The purpose of silhouette cars is to provide a manufacturer with a tangible link to their consumer product offerings so as to derive maximum marketing benefit from their investment in the sport. They also provide spectators with familiar, identifiable car models.

Construction 
Silhouette cars often employ radically different chassis construction techniques, such as tubular space frames or carbon-fibre tubs in place of regular monocoques, and many also have completely different drivetrain configurations than their road-going counterparts. The body shells themselves are generally made of lightweight materials such as fibreglass or carbon fibre, and often, few parts (or none at all) are shared between the race and road versions of the cars. These changes are aimed at improving the desirable characteristics of the vehicle, such as increasing the stiffness of the chassis or the output of the engine.

Silhouette racing series 
Entire championship fields can consist of silhouettes. Sometimes, only a single class in a multi-class field may permit silhouettes.  Notable racing classes where silhouette cars have been used include Trans-Am, NASCAR, Stock Car Brasil, Group 5, Group B, DTM, JGTC/Super GT, monster trucks and the Australian Supercars Championship.  

Due to homologation rules (e.g. Group B rally cars), some silhouette racing cars, such as the Lancia 037 and Lancia Delta S4, also end up being sold as road cars.
