Steve Duggan (born 10 April 1958) is an English former professional snooker player.

Career

Steve Duggan was born on 10 April 1958, in Thurnscoe, England. In 1982 he won the Pontins Autumn Open tournament. He was accepted as a professional snooker player by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association in 1983, he finished his first season ranked 54, and fell to 70th after a further year.

In the 1985 Matchroom Trophy, Duggan defeated veteran Fred Davis, Ray Reardon, Ian Black  and Willie Thorne 5–4 before losing in the quarter-finals, 2–5 to Cliff Thorburn. This marked the best run of Duggan's career up to, and after, that point, and helped improve his world ranking for the 1986–87 season to 35th.

Further success followed; Duggan played Rex Williams in the last 32 of the 1986 International Open, losing 4–5, and Jimmy White in the last 16 at the 1987 Classic, where White defeated him 5–2. At the British Open that year, he lost 2–5 to Thorne in the last 32, but a 3–10 loss to Tony Chappel in qualifying ended his World Championship hopes.

The following year, Duggan progressed further in the World Championship, but was defeated 5–10 by John Virgo in the last 48. In April 1988 Duggan made a 148 in a practice frame against Mark Rowing in Doncaster.

The 1988–89 season saw  Duggan reach the last 32 of the 1988 International Open, Grand Prix, Canadian Masters, UK Championship, and in 1989 he made his first appearance at the Crucible Theatre, in the last 32 of the World Championship. He had defeated Fred Davis, John Spencer and Mark Rowing in the qualifying rounds, but was considered an underdog to his first-round opponent, Cliff Wilson. Duggan led Wilson 5–0 and beat him 10–1, but was eliminated 3–13 by Steve Davis in the last 16; Davis would go on to win that year's championship.

Finishing the 1995–96 season 228th, Duggan lost his professional status.

Copley is a village of roughly 400 inhabitants in County Durham, England. It is situated 9 miles west of Bishop Auckland, and 6 miles from Barnard Castle. It has a rural setting close to the North Pennines area. The lower part of the village by the River Gaunless still retains the original chimney and some of the buildings from the old Gaunless Valley Lead Mill.

Copley has its own weather station run by the Met Office and Environment Agency. Because of its elevation above sea-level, around the 1,000 ft contour, and position in the north-east, this station is often one of the coldest in England with high incidences of ground frosts and snowfalls. Copley is in a relatively dry and sunny rain-shadow area in the shelter of the higher Pennines to the west. The same higher Pennines can create a local gusty effect if the wind blows from the west-south-west. This is called the Pennine Lee Wave and can appear suddenly and disappear just as quickly.

Copley Village has the distinction of the snowiest Met.Office site in England and the 5th snowiest in the UK. The North Pennines are one of the snowiest parts of England and Copley Village sees snow falling on average 53 days each year. It is just east of the North Pennines AONB, home to one of only a handful of outdoor ski centres in England.

Copley has a Village Hall which is part of the Teesdale Village Halls' Consortium. No shops or public houses operate in the village.

Jill Pay (born 10 May 1951) is a retired official of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. She was Serjeant at Arms in the House of Commons. Pay is the first woman to have held the position. Her appointment was unusual in that the position had hitherto normally been reserved for those with a military background. Pay's position conferred responsibility for security in the House of Commons. She retired on 31 January 2012.

Career
Pay replaced Major General Peter Grant Peterkin as Serjeant at Arms in 2008. She had previously worked as a business manager in the civil service. She was appointed Head Office Keeper in the House of Commons Service in 1994. She was appointed Deputy Serjeant at Arms in 2004. Before she assumed the role of Serjeant at Arms, the role of the Serjeant in the House of Commons Service had been downgraded through organisational restructuring, something with which the Queen was said to be unhappy, since the position is a Crown appointment. Jill Pay was not granted the traditional audience with the monarch.

Damian Green search

In 2008, Pay became embroiled in political controversy when it was revealed she was the official who had consented to a police search on Damian Green's Commons office. There was some suggestion that Pay was made a scapegoat in order to protect the reputation of the then Commons Speaker Michael Martin.

After being Serjeant at Arms
Since being the Serjeant at Arms, Pay has worked with charities to promote various causes; notably, women's entrepreneurship with the Pink Shoe Club and children's literacy with Coram Beanstalk. She has recently worked on the Women and Enterprise All Party Parliamentary Group report on women's enterprise.

Ren Yongshun (; born 8 April 1985) is a Chinese football defender.

Club career

Shandong Luneng

Ren Yongshun was the product of the Shandong Luneng youth system where he eventually graduated to the senior squad during the 2003 league season. He represented Shandong Luneng in the league for the first time as a starter on July 24, 2005 in a league match with Shanghai Shenhua in a 2-2 draw.

Wuhan Guangu

Unable to establish himself within the Shandong team he would transfer to Wuhan Guanggu at the beginning of the 2007 league season with fellow Shandong teammates Deng Xiaofei, Guo Mingyue and Li Zhuangfei. Taking time to establish himself within his new team Ren Yongshun eventually made his debut on August 26, 2007 against Shanghai Shenhua in a 0-0 draw. This was followed by several further league appearances, however the 2008 Chinese Super League season was to prove a difficult period for him as he quickly lost his place within the Wuhan team, this was added by Wuhan being ejected and subsequently relegated from the Chinese Super League after the club's management did not accept the punishment given to them by the Chinese Football Association after a scuffle broke out during a league game against Beijing Guoan on September 27, 2008.

Jiangsu Sainty 

Without a football club to play in during the 2008 league season Ren Yongshun transferred to  second tier football team Jiangsu Sainty and helped them fight for promotion to the Chinese Super League. Despite only playing half the season his first season would go on to be a success and he would make 12 league appearances as well as winning the division title with them. The following season saw his playing time drop when the club decided to bring in several players to help them stay within the top tier and this saw Ren spend much of the season on the substitute bench, only making a further 12 appearances in the whole season.

Return Shandong Luneng 

Ren would go on to be released by Jiangsu Sainty at the end of the season and he would transfer back to Shandong Luneng at the beginning of 2010 league season.

"PT-109" is a 1962 song by Jimmy Dean about the combat service of John F. Kennedy and the crew of the PT-109 in World War II. The boat was famous even before Kennedy ran for office, because Kennedy and most of the crew had survived after it was rammed and cut in two by a Japanese destroyer. After several days on a tiny uninhabited island, Kennedy and the crew were rescued by two native Solomon Islanders—Biuku Gasa and Eroni Kumana, part of an allied Coastwatchers team led by Australian Reg Evans—although the islanders are not mentioned in the song. 

In 1961 Dean had recorded "Big Bad John," a song that would become his biggest hit ever, peaking at number one on the country and pop charts; in "PT-109", he would inject "Big Bad John" by singing the last line "Big John, Big John, Big Bad John" at the end in reference to Kennedy. Dean had five more top forty songs in 1962. "PT-109" was his biggest hit in 1962, reaching the top ten with Kennedy still in the White House — it preceded the 1963 film of the same title. The song was Dean's sixth release on the country chart; it peaked at number three and stayed on the country chart for thirteen weeks. "PT-109" also went to number eight on the pop chart and number two on the Hot Adult Contemporary chart. It was one of several military-themed singles of the 1960s — some pro-military, some anti-military. Others include "Ballad of the Green Berets," "Sink the Bismark," "Billy and Sue," "Gonna Raise a Ruckus Tonight," "Sky Pilot," "Navy Blue," and "Soldier Boy."
