This led to an unusual conversion in position to centre  following discussions with Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend and Scotland coach Scott Johnson, who hope to more readily use his 6-foot, 5-inch frame and evident pace.

Vernon announced his retirement from rugby to finish at the end of the 2018-19 season on 12 March 2019.

The First Supper (1988) is a work of art by Susan Dorothea White, based on Leonardo da Vinci's 1490s painting The Last Supper. White's painting is acrylic on a large wood panel (1.2 x 2.4 m) and, in a challenge to the patriarchal concept of thirteen men on one side of a table, shows 13 women from all regions of the world; the woman in the position of Leonardo's Christ figure is an Australian aboriginal wearing a T-shirt with the Australian Aboriginal Flag.  One woman seen is in the position of Judas. She dines on a Coca-Cola and a hamburger, while all the other women are seen with a bread roll and glass of water.  The painting toured Australia in the Blake Prize for Religious Art exhibition in 1988, where it was ridiculed, before being exhibited in the artist's solo exhibition in Amsterdam, where it featured in the Dutch art journal Kunstbeeld: "The work shows clearly Susan White's thinking about human rights. It should be mentioned here that she sometimes places her many faceted talent at the service of the struggle for human rights".

Porch sitting, i.e., sitting on a front porch or stoop, usually of a private residence is a leisure activity which can be a direct or indirect form of social interaction. The activity is a staple of most urban areas in the United States and helps contribute to a lively atmosphere for those sitting and also for those passing by. It is most common during good weather, especially on warm summer nights and weekends.

Porch sitting was once considered to be a status symbol.

As well as being a good way to connect with neighbors, it is also an important form of community security by helping to prevent crime. Front porches were originally mandated in the planned community of Seaside, Florida, as a way to reduce air conditioning usage. Its planners then perceived an enhanced sense of community and front porches subsequently became an important element in the New Urbanism movement. During the summer of 2006, All Things Considered broadcast a series of stories dedicated to the role of the front porch in American life and literature.

There are now thousands of (tongue-in-cheek) Professional Porch Sitters Unions in all 50 U.S. states and at least three other countries.

Sitting equipment 

 In certain Brazilian fishing households, families may use stools.
 Some porches have rocking-chairs.
 Some porches have swings.

Sociology 

Some see a potential downside of sitting on porches: the intrusiveness of porch-based surveillance.

Decline
On hot summer days, it was formerly cooler out on the porch than it was inside the house. Air conditioning has thus replaced porch sitting and enabled people to socialize in the comfort of their homes although porch sitting is still common in areas in which the climate is warm.

Other causes of a decline of porch sitting are television, which provides other entertaining sights, and the motor car, which made street views more noisy and unpleasant.

In popular culture 
"Porch-sitters" form a recognized group in marketing
and in literature.

Henry Church, an aged ex-British soldier from the American Revolutionary War, was noted for his porch sitting in sight of the train station. The town of Hundred, West Virginia, was then named after him, as he was called "Old Hundred."

The Don Knotts Show had a regular feature, The Front Porch, in which the host and his guest would sit in rocking chairs in a porch and talk philosophically. When Knotts played Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show, porch sitting was often incorporated into the sitcom's script. Another television series which featured Southern porch sitting, albeit in a more rural setting, was the family drama The Waltons.

The ethnic slur "porch monkey" is an insinuation that African Americans spend excessive amount of time porch sitting.

In the film Friday, the main characters spend most of their day porch sitting.

Vitaly Halberstadt (20 March 1903, Odessa – 25 October 1967, Paris) was a French chess player, theorist, tactician, problemist, and, above all, a noted endgame study composer.

Born in Odessa, in the Kherson Governorate of the Russian Empire (present-day Ukraine), he emigrated to France after the Russian Civil War.

Chess games

Publications 
In 1932, Halberstadt published with Marcel Duchamp "L'Opposition et les cases conjugées sont réconciliées", a chess manual dedicated to several special end-game problems, for which Duchamp designed the layout and cover. In this book, Duchamp and Halberstadt addressed the complication of the so-called "heterodox opposition",  which is a precisely organized endgame that involved two kings and a handful of pawns. This concept has established a figure of immobilized reversibility between two subjective positions and two players. Within a condition where only two kings remain, the duo described the move in the following manner:The king 'may act in such a way as to suggest he has completely lost interest in winning the game. Then the other king, if he is a true sovereign, can give the appearance of being even less interested.' Until one of them provokes the other into a blunder. Halberstadt was also the author of "Curiosités tactiques des finales" (1954).

V. P Iqlas Naha (born 11 October 1994) is an Indian cricketer who represents Puducherry in domestic cricket. He is an all-rounder who bats left-handed and bowls right-arm fast-medium.

Domestic career
Iqlas was born on Malappuram, Kerala. He has represented Kerala in age-limit tournaments. He completed his graduation from Mar Ivanios College, Thiruvananthapuram and was part of the college's cricket team. He was one of the four Kerala cricketers among Nikhilesh Surendran, Fabid Ahmed and Abdul Safar who shifted their alliance to the newly found Puducherry cricket team ahead of the 2018-19 Indian domestic season. 

He made his List A debut for Puducherry in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 19 September 2018 against Manipur on Puducherry's first ever domestic match but failed to get a chance to bat or bowl in the match. However, the next day, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) facing protests from other state associations, the BCCI has revoked the special allowance granted to Puducherry which allowed to play players from outside the state the team is located in, after concerns were raised that no local cricketers had played in the match. Iqlas was one among the eight players who were found to be outside the BCCI's eligibility criteria which required the players to be either born in the state or be a resident for more than a year.

He plays for Tigers XI in Siechem Pondicherry T20 Tournament. He made his Twenty20 debut on 4 November 2021, for Puducherry in the 2021–22 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
