In the 1993–94 football season, Valencia CF failed to qualify for European competition as it ended 7th in La Liga and wasn't able to reach the quarterfinals in neither the Copa del Rey nor the UEFA Cup. The campaign was marked by the latter's 7–0 exit in Karlsruhe, the worst loss suffered by a Spanish team in European competition, and included the resignation of chairman Arturo Tuzón and the sacking of manager Guus Hiddink. However, Hiddink was eventually reinstated before the season was over after his own successor, Héctor Núñez, was also fired.

John Keating   is a Bally Sports Detroit host and reporter. He was born in Madison Heights, Michigan. He attended Grand Valley State University.

In 2019, Keating won his 16th local Emmy from the Michigan chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Radio career
Keating began his broadcasting career while a student at Grand Valley State University.  Keating climbed through the ranks of WSRX, Grand Valley's own student run radio station, from broadcaster up to Station Manager. Keating's rise at WSRX led to a job at WZZR, now WLHT, a radio station in nearby Grand Rapids. WZZR already had an on-air personality named "John" on staff.  To avoid confusion among listeners, Keating assumed the on-air name of "Steve Knight."

The move to television 
The job at WZZR led to a job in television at WZZM-TV, also in Grand Rapids.  At WZZM, "Steve" became an on-air fixture and sports favorite in west Michigan.  Having transitioned to television, Keating was stuck being known on air as "Steve Knight". Keating left WZZM in the mid-80s for KMGH in Denver, Colorado, where he worked for a decade. Keating returned to Michigan and worked for the now defunct PASS Sports which was later put out of business by Fox Sports Detroit, who acquired his contract. Among his other roles, he hosts the pregame and postgame shows for the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings. In June 2009, Keating served as a temporary color analyst on the Detroit Tigers Radio Network for several road games, as regular analyst Jim Price substituted in turn for play-by-play announcer Dan Dickerson while the latter recuperated from leg surgery.

Indigofera suffruticosa, commonly known as Guatemalan indigo, small-leaved indigo (Sierra Leone), West Indian indigo, wild indigo, and anil, is a flowering plant in the pea family, Fabaceae.

Anil is native to the subtropical and tropical Americas, including the Southern United States, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and South America as far south as northern Argentina. This species has been widely introduced to other parts of the world and today has a pantropical distribution.  It is an erect branching shrub growing to  tall with pinnate leaves, and is commonly found growing in dry, highly disturbed areas such as roadsides and fallow fields.

Anil is commonly used as a source for indigo dye, and if mixed with Palygorskite clays, can produce Maya blue, a pigment used by the Mesoamerican civilizations.

Joseph Lewis Hogg (September 13, 1806 – May 16, 1862) was a politician and a Confederate States Army general from Texas during the American Civil War. He was the father of Texas Governor Jim Hogg.

Hogg was born in Morgan County, Georgia, and moved with his family to Alabama in 1818. He studied law, and became an officer in the militia before moving to Texas in 1839, where he established a law practice. He was elected to the Texas Congress and served from 1843 to 1844. He supported annexation by the United States, and was elected to the Texas Senate in 1846. At the outbreak of the Mexican–American War however, he resigned his seat and enlisted in the Texas Mounted Volunteers, fighting in the Battle of Monterrey. He was chosen as a delegate at the Texas State Convention in 1860, and cast his vote to secede from the Union.

After secession, he became a captain in the 3rd Texas Cavalry, a unit he helped organize, with his older son Thomas E. Hogg serving in the company as well. Shortly afterwards Captain Hogg was appointed colonel by Texas Governor Edward Clark. On February 12, 1862, he was appointed brigadier general, confirmed a day later, and served in the Army of the West. In April he was given command of a brigade to reinforce Confederate troops at the Siege of Corinth. His brigade consisted of the 10th, 11th and 14th Texas Cavalry regiments (dismounted) as well as Andrews' Texas Infantry, McRay's Arkansas Infantry and Goode's Texas Battery. During the siege, he contracted dysentery and died on May 16, 1862. He was buried in Corinth, Mississippi.

The EMD SD22ECO is a  C-C diesel-electric locomotive rebuilt by Electro-Motive Diesel.  It is, along with the GP22ECO, primarily the application of a conversion kit to an existing EMD SD40-type locomotive.  This involves replacing the existing prime mover with an EPA Tier-II-compliant turbocharged V8 710G3A, with electronic fuel injection.  The prime mover is mated to an AR10 alternator for traction power, a CA6 alternator for control power, and a computerized control system. This conversion does not alter the external appearance of the locomotive.

Combat Obscura is a 2018 documentary film about the War in Afghanistan, and the directorial debut of Miles Lagoze.

Background 
Combat Obscura is composed of video footage taken from 2011 to 2012 by lance corporal Miles Lagoze and other cameramen from the 1st Battalion, 6th Marines, in Sangin-Kajaki, Afghanistan. As a combat photographer, the footage was originally shot for recruitment and propaganda purposes. After realising the film would have been unsuitable for propaganda due to its depiction of Marines swearing and smoking cannabis, Lagoze proceeded to get it declassified so that he could keep it as a memory of his time in Afghanistan. Lagoze left the Marines in 2013, and when studying film at Columbia University in 2018, he decided to start compiling the footage into a documentary. As the documentary was shot with government-owned cameras, the Marine Corps threatened to take legal action against Lagoze, but did not follow through, officially withdrawing their threat on February 28, 2019.

Synopsis 
Combat Obscura does not feature an overarching narrative, instead being composed of various disjointed scenes showing Marines in combat and R&R. The film lacks a narrator, as Lagoze wanted to show an unfiltered view of war, saying "I think we’re at a point as veterans that we want to show war as it is. We’re kind of sick of the hero-worshipping."

Release 
Combat Obscura premiered on March 1, 2018, at the True/False Film Festival, AFI Docs and FIDMarseille, among others, wherein "the audience loved it." It was released for select screening and video on demand on March 15, 2019.

Reception 
On Rotten Tomatoes, Combat Obscura has a 100% score, whereas on Metacritic, it has an average of 56%, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Some reviewers contrasted the film negatively with Restrepo, another war documentary which employed a similar style of filmmaking, but included interviews, and suggested that Combat Obscura's lack of context made it difficult to understand. Conversely, The Daily Beast called it "one of the best documentaries in years". Garcia Lawrence of The A.V. Club compared the film to The 15:17 to Paris, a war film released the previous year: "If The 15:17 To Paris saw three men who managed, against all odds, to fulfill their deeply ingrained ideals and become American heroes (“We got lucky,” one of them says toward the end), then Combat Obscura observes the countless others for whom heroism is no longer in the cards."

The Henderson County Courthouse, also known as the Historic Henderson County Courthouse and the Old Henderson County Courthouse, is a historic 3-story brick gold-domed Classical Revival style courthouse building located  at One Historic Courthouse Square, corner of  1st and Main streets in Hendersonville, North Carolina.

It is Henderson County's second courthouse and is adjacent to site of the 1840s courthouse which was razed upon its completion. Famed architect Frank Pierce Milburn was asked in 1903 to design the new courthouse, but the county commissioners rejected his design and instead hired Englishman Richard Sharp Smith, who was the resident architect of the Biltmore Estate after the death of Richard Morris Hunt in 1895. Construction by local builder W. F. Edwards began in 1904 and was completed in July, 1905.

The old courthouse was closed for renovations after the completion of a new courthouse at 200 North Grove Street in 1995. The restored 1905 courthouse currently houses the Henderson County Heritage Museum and some government offices.

On May 10, 1979, the Historic Henderson County Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is located in the Main Street Historic District.

The Guan Yu Statue is a large monument to Chinese deified military general Guan Yu located in Jingzhou, China. The statue was designed by Han Meilin, and finished construction in 2016. It stands at 58 metres tall, weighs 1,197 tonnes, and is made of around 4,000 bronze strips. The project began in 2013 when Han Meilin visited Jingzhou for inspiration, and personally oversaw the designing and installing of the statue.

Guan Yu is depicted wearing his traditional robes and cloak, whilst wielding his famous guandao known as the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which weighs 123 tonnes. The figure stands atop a 10 metre pedestal, which resembles an ancient Chinese warship. Inside the base is a 7,710 square-metre museum and shrine to Guan Yu. 

The project cost 1.5 billion yuan, and was officially opened to the public on June 17, 2016. On the day of the unveiling, activities such as worship, visiting fairs, and praying to Guan Yu were held. Han Meilin was present for the ceremony.

Background 
Guan Yu was a Chinese military general serving under the warlord Liu Bei during the late Eastern Han dynasty. His life was lionised and his achievements glorified to such an extent after his death in 220 that he was deified during the Sui dynasty. Through generations of story telling, culminating in the 14th-century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, his deeds and moral qualities have been given immense emphasis, making Guan Yu one of East Asia's most popular paradigms of loyalty and righteousness. He is still worshipped today as a bodhisattva in Buddhist tradition and as a guardian deity in Chinese folk religion and Taoism. He is also held in high esteem in Confucianism.

Slated relocation 
In September 2020, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development criticized the Guan Yu statue as "vain and wasteful", and that its towering presence in the skyline "ruined the character and culture of Jingzhou as a historic city" and called for rectification. An investigation by the state broadcaster China Central Television revealed that the project's developers only had permission to build the pedestal of the statue (the museum). The developers, treating the statue as a piece of art, claimed to be unaware that large statues required their own planning processes, nor were they aware that the statue's current location had a height limit of 15m. Additionally, land under the statue started to sink under its weight.

In response to the central government order, Jingzhou city officials announced in October that the statue will be relocated. The new location of the statue will be 8 km away in Dianjiangtai, where Guan Yu was said to have drilled his troops. The cost of the relocation is estimated at 155 million yuan.
