Sir George Olaf Roos-Keppel,  (7 September 1866 – 11 December 1921) was a British military officer who served in the capacities of Political Agent to the Governor-General in Kurram and Khyber, and later as Chief Commissioner, North West Frontier Province from 1908 till 1919. He is also known for his role in 3rd Afghan War.

Life
Roos was born in the Park Lane area of London, the son of Gustaf Ehrenreich Roos, a Swedish merchant in England, and his wife, Elizabeth Annie Roffey, daughter of George Roffey of Twickenham. He changed his surname in 1890, to Roos-Keppel, at the request of his Dutch-Swedish grandmother. He was educated at United Services College, Westward Ho!, abroad, and at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst.

George Roos was commissioned a lieutenant in the Royal Scots Fusiliers on 25 August 1886, and was promoted to captain on 1 September 1895. He transferred to the Indian Staff Corps on 19 September 1897. He was Political Officer in the Khyber when in March 1900 he was appointed to the temporary command of the Khyber Rifles, a frontier corps. For his service on the North West Frontier of India, he was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) in the 1900 New Year Honours list. Promoted to the brevet rank of major in 1902, he received the substantive rank of major in 1904 and promotion to Brevet lieutenant-colonel in 1907. In 1908, he was knighted with the KCIE and was promoted to full Lieutenant-Colonel in 1912.

In 1913, Roos-Keppel, along with Nawab Sir Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum established Islamia College (Peshawar), which was inaugurated by Haji Sahib Turangzai. Roos-Keppel was also president of Central Committee of Examiners in Pashto. He is credited with foreseeing the genius in the young Cambridge graduate Inayatullah Khan by appointing him, at the age of 24, the Vice Principal of Islamia College (Peshawar) in 1913, and then the Principal in 1917. He was appointed a KCSI in 1915 and a GCIE in 1917. He formally retired from the Indian Army in 1920 and died on 11 December of the following year, aged 55.

Academic contributions 

Roos-Keppel was well versed in the Pashto language:
 In 1901, he produced his own editions from T. B. Hughes' English translations of Ganj-e-Pashto and Tarikh-e-Sultan Mahmud-e-Ghaznavi. These editions replaced the older versions as textbooks for Military officers.
 He also authored 'The Pashto Manual' as a guide book on colloquial Pashto in 1901, followed by a second impression in 1907 while serving as Captain in the Khyber

Exoès is a French company based in the city of Gradignan in the region of Bordeaux. Exoès was founded by Arnaud Desrentes, Rémi Daccord, and Thiébaut Kientz. It targets renewable energy and energy efficiency. It specializes in the transformation of heat into power, such as mechanical or electric energy via the Rankine cycles. The company is supported by BPI France, ADEME, the European funds (FEDER), the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, and the Aquitaine and Poitou-Charentes regions.

History 

In November 2011, Exoès established offices in Gradignan.

In July 2011, the company raised 1.1 million Euros.

On the 18 November 2013, Exoès signed with Tenneco, the world’s second largest exhaust system supplier. Tenneco chose Exoès to work on a solution for an exhaust heat recovery system based on the Rankine systems.

Products

EVE (Energy Via Exhaust) 

Exoès developed a solution to recover energy contained in the hot gases expelled from the exhaust pipe of a vehicle. Their product, EVE, results in potential fuel savings for all vehicles that have a thermal engine. EVE is a form of heat exchanger that is installed on the exhaust pipe. A pressurized liquid is pumped through this exchanger where the high temperature causes it to vaporize. The vaporized liquid pushes a compact piston that powers an alternator and creates electricity. The system is the size of an air conditioning compressor. Using the generated energy, the vehicle has the ability to move the first 100 meters entirely with electricity.

SHAPE Solar 

The company developed SHAPE Solar (Sustainable Heat And Power Engine), a power plant system on a domestic scale capable of simultaneously producing electricity and heat. To accomplish this, the power plant uses a Rankine engine. A solar concentration power plant consists of mirrors that concentrate the sun’s rays to create a high temperature. At the beginning of the cycle, the heat radiates from the solar power plant and warms a fluid by a thermal exchange which transformed into pressurized steam. The fluid is then directed towards the SHAPE engine. This pressurized steam generates electricity using an alternator.

At the engine outlet, the steam is directed towards a heat exchanger, which is coupled to a hot water network. At the end of the circuit, the steam returns to a liquid state and is injected back into the solar field. The heat from the solar field vaporizes the newly condensed water and injects it back into the engine, allowing the cycle to repeat.

Awards and recognition 

This process is a 2010 Prize-winner of the national competition of the Ministry of Higher Education and Research in the Creation Development category.

This process garnered trophies at the 2011 Poitou-Charentes eco-industries competition  and a trophy of innovation from the CGPME in the first edition of Innov' CGPME.

Lord Mulgrave was launched at Whitby in 1783. She had a mercantile career until 1793 when the Admiralty hired her to serve as an armed ship protecting convoys. She was wrecked in 1799.

Mercantile career
Lord Mulgrave first appeared in Lloyd's Register in 1783 with Easterby, master, J. Addison, owner, and traded Whitby–Riga.

In September 1786 Lord Mulgrave, Chilton, master, arrived at Dover from Halifax, Nova Scotia, with the 33rd Regiment of Foot.

Lord Mulgrave was reported to be "all well" on 13 July 1787 near Newfoundland while on her way to Quebec.

Hired armed ship
The Admiralty hired Lord Mulgrave and on 13 April 1793 published her establishment (weapons and manning). The outbreak of war with France had created a requirement for a large number of smaller vessels to protect England's trade, which provided a target-rich environment for French privateers. The Admiralty responded by hiring a number of small merchantmen, and purchasing others.

Under Commander Robert Rolles Lord Mulgrave convoyed vessels between Spithead and Hull. The insurance underwriters at Hull presented him with a "handsome piece of plate" for his "great care and diligent attention to their interests". On 12 August 1795 Rolles was promoted to post captain into HMS Laurel.

In March 1797 Lord Mulgrave was at Scilly with a convoy. While she was there, a violent gust of wind overturned her boat with Commander Smith on board. He and three crew members were drowned; three crew members were saved.

Fate
On 9 April 1799 Commander Hawkins sailed Lord Mulgrave from Cork for Dublin. At about 4a.m. she grounded on the Arklow Bank, a shallow water sandbank in the Irish Sea, around  off the coast of Arklow. She started to take on water so the crew threw ballast overboard and increased the sail area to try to drive her off the Bank. They succeeded about two hours later but she was taking on so much water that Hawkins steered her for the land. In about another two hours, as water was up to main deck, she ran onto the beach near Arklow.

The Navy may have salvaged her and taken some time to decide whether to take her back into service, before deciding to dispose of her. Steele's Navy List for April 1800 still listed Lord Mulgrave among the hired armed vessels with Lieutenant Samuel Bateman in command and Joseph Smith Master; it also did not include her in the list of vessels lost. However, the official lists do not show her being recommissioned; Hawkins is the last commander listed. Nor are there any paybooks or logs after June 1799, the month of Hawkins's court martial for the loss. Lieutenant Bateman was promoted to commander in 1801 and died in 1803.

Sparkie Williams (1954–1962) was a talking budgie who had a repertoire of more than 500 words and eight nursery rhymes, becoming a national celebrity after fronting an advertising campaign for Capern's bird seed, and making a record which sold 20,000 copies. After he died, he was stuffed and put on show at Newcastle's Hancock Museum. Sparkie provided the inspiration for an opera by Michael Nyman and Carsten Nicolai. The opera was performed in Berlin in March 2009.

History
Hatched and bred in North East England, Sparkie was owned by Mrs. Mattie Williams, who lived in Forest Hall, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He earned his name after Mrs Williams called him "A bright little spark", and she taught him to speak, recite songs and sing nursery rhymes. Sparkie had a huge repertoire of words and sayings. By the time he was three-and-a-half, he had won the BBC International Cage Word Contest in July 1958. He was so good, in fact, that he was disqualified from taking part again.

Sparkie was courted by bird seed sellers and fronted the advertisement campaign for Capern's bird seed for two years. He was recorded talking with budgie expert Philip Marsden on BBC radio, and appeared on the BBC Tonight programme with Cliff Michelmore. When Sparkie died on Tuesday 4 December 1962, Mattie Williams had him stuffed and mounted on a wooden perch at the renowned taxidermy establishment, Rowland Ward Ltd. of Piccadilly, London. He was then taken on a tour of Britain in an exhibition of his life and work, before coming back to the Hancock Museum in 1996. Sparkie Williams is acclaimed as the world's most outstanding talking bird in the Guinness Book of Records.

Sparkie and his archive now form part of the collections owned by the Natural History Society of Northumbria.

Opera
The opera inspired by Sparkie is based on Michael Nyman's 1977 piece Pretty Talk. The original piece used material from a record made by Capern's bird food company to help customers teach their pet birds to talk. The 7-inch flexi disc played short sentences spoken by Sparkie's owner, Mrs Williams, to encourage her pet to speak followed by replies from Sparkie himself. The opera, Sparkie: Cage and Beyond, features further recordings from the "Sparkie" archives of the Natural History Society of Northumbria. A CD of Sparkie talking has already been released.

On display
Sparkie is among the exhibits on show in the Great North Museum: Hancock.

The Thomas A. Berry House is a historic residence in Dalton, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 5, 1984. It is located at 506 Hawthorne Street.

The house was built for Thomas A. Berry (1852-1922) and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Bass (1861-1945), as a wedding gift by her father in 1882.

The home's architectural style is considered Late Victorian.  It was deemed significant as "a home built in the Victorian Eclectic style that retains its original setting, appearance, similar landscaping, and most significant exterior and interior features....one of a handful of Victorian-era homes that remain in an area that was an affluent section of Dalton during that period."  Indicative features of the architectural style include: the house's wraparound porch, decorative brackets on the eaves and the porch, the bay window, stained glass, and interior mantels.

Markus Salcher (born 1 June 1991) is an Austrian alpine skier and Paralympic Champion. He competed in the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia, where he won two gold medals.

He won the silver medal in the men's super-G standing event at the 2022 Winter Paralympics held in Beijing, China.

Career
Due to the sportive background of his family Markus’ first attempts on skis were undertaken early in life. At the age of only three years the first turns on skis were carved into the snow. The local ski club (SV Tröpolach in the Nassfeld skiing area) and his family helped to develop a solid skiing technique as well as a passion for the sport early on. The first racing experiences were gained at the age of five when Markus began to compete in local skiing cups against non-disabled age-peers. Even though these first races were not overly successful, the motivation to pursue a professional career as a skier did not wane. First contacts to the field of professional disabled sports were made during the winter of 2000. Since the 2003 / 2004 winter season Markus has been an active athlete member of various teams of the Austrian Skiing Federation (ÖSV). In addition to Markus’ personal ambition and self-motivation, the Sports-High School (SSLK Klagenfurt) needs to be credited with a big share in the development of the young athlete’s personal and athletic skills, from first semi-professional training programs to the acceptance into Austria’s National Skiing Team.

This is a page with information on deaths that have occurred during motorsport events.
Auto racing is a dangerous sport by its nature and has seen a large number of deaths. 
In the second half of the 21st century safety standards and car construction were improved so that the number of deaths has fallen noticeably: In Formula 1 deaths were a regular occurrence earlier in the history of the series but between 1994 and 2011 there has been only one death.
Still, deaths in motorsport are still a regular occurrence.
In particular motorcycle racing claims more deaths than car racing due to the nature of motorcycle riding and the lack of protection for a rider in the event of a crash.

Deaths in motorsport can be categorised as follows:

Driver deaths in motorsport

This section covers all driver deaths in car or truck racing events. These have either taken place at racing circuits or oval racing venues. Deaths in all series and in all types of vehicles are included, from club or national level series to high-profile events like Formula 1 and Champ Car.

Rider deaths in motorcycle racing

This covers rider deaths in all forms of motorcycle racing. This includes all circuit and road racing events of any level. High-profile events like Moto GP and the Isle of Man TT are included alongside other international, national or club level events.

Driver and co-driver deaths in rallying events

Rallying is an offroad motorsport, generally featuring a number of timed stages on varying surfaces to crown an overall winner. Deaths in this form of motorsport often occur when the car leaves the road and crashes into something on the roadside or suffers a significant fall. Deaths at all levels are included, from national events to major events like the World Rally Championship and the Dakar Rally
