Centaurea gymnocarpa, also known as fiordaliso di Capraia (Italian) (centaury of Capraia/Caprian cornflower (English)) is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is a rare species endemic to Italy found only on Capraia, a small island located in the Tuscan Archipelago, with the species being distributed across 8 subpopulations on the island's surface. Its natural habitats are Mediterranean-type shrubby vegetation and rocky areas, colonizing in the cracks and fissures of cliffs.

While true C. gymnocarpa is an endangered species in the wild, a hybrid with the related species Centaurea cineraria is sometimes used in gardens as an ornamental plant.

It is classified on the IUCN Red List as a vulnerable species.

Description
This perennial plant has a woody base and long stem that reaches a height between 80 and 100 cm (27.5 and 39.3 inches). The plant is covered with dense short hairs, giving a greyish-white appearance to the plant. The leaves are somewhat fleshy and appear green above and greyish-white below, with old leaves persisting at the base. C. gymnocarpa Flowers in May, producing tiny pink flowers in a compact flower head.

Conservation status
Centaurea gymnocarpa has previously been categorized as endangered according to the IUCN Red List in 2005, but has recently been downgraded to vulnerable status in 2017 due to an increase in recorded mature individuals (<250 in 2006, <1000 as of 2017). In addition, Carpobrotus acinaciformis, an invasive species in the area and also one of the main competitive risks for C. gymnocarpa was eradicated during 2013-2014 on some portions of the island leading to an increase in established seedlings in some subpopulations.

Threats
While Carpobrotus acinaciformis has been eradicated from some areas of the island, no recent data is available for other sites and as such may still pose a threat to some subpopulations. Senecio angulatus, another competitive invasive species, is also starting to expand across the island and may pose a threat to the species. In addition, increases in tourism on the island can enhance the risk of damage to the plants.

The Pottsville station, also known as Union Station Intermodal Transit Center, is a transit station in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Originally a Reading Railroad station, it currently houses bus service, the Schuylkill County Visitors Bureau, and occasional train service by the Reading Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad.

The station was originally built by the Reading Railroad, and later served the SEPTA diesel service line extending from the Norristown section of the Manayunk/Norristown Line. It shut down in 1981, when SEPTA cancelled the diesel service. After several years of effort, the county refurbished the building to serve the Schuylkill Transportation System and the visitors bureau, as well as occasional train service. In 2013, the Reading Blue Mountain and Northern Railroad began hosting further recreational train trips to the Reading Outer Station in Reading, Pennsylvania.

Edward Monroe Miller (December 10, 1919April 11, 1977) was an American songwriter, in the country music genre.

Early life and education
Miller was born in Camargo, Oklahoma and worked as a locomotive engineer before becoming a songwriter. Although he was never educated beyond high school, he taught songwriting at the University of Tennessee.

Career
His first published song, written in the mid-1930s, was "I Love You, Honey." In 1946, he wrote what was to become his biggest hit, "Release Me," though at first he could not get anyone to record it. Eventually he recorded it himself, and it was covered by several singers and was commercially successful.

He was the founder of the Country and Western Music Academy in Hollywood, as well as a co-founder of the Nashville Songwriters Association International (of which he served as the first president and also another term in the presidency).

Miller wrote a country opera, "The Legend of Johnny Brown," and a gospel opera, "It Was Jesus." "Legend of Johnny Brown" was a concept project that was released on Tower Records. The project featured Kay Adams as Mary Lou, Ray Sanders as Sheriff Tom, Alice Rene as Jezebel Jones and Jerry Naylor as Johnny Brown. Miller pitched this project to Capitol Records, with a demo version he had already recorded with Alice Rene performing all of the female vocals. Miller actually wanted Rene for the Mary Lou character, but Capitol Records went with Kay Adams. Miller pressed the label to use Rene and secured her the part of Jezebel Jones.  The irony is, that the only recorded version Adams had to learn this music, were the original demos previously recorded by Rene.

He died in Nashville, Tennessee at age 57.

Awards and recognition
Miller received Performance Awards from BMI for "There She Goes" (1954), for "Thanks a Lot" (1964), and "Release Me" (1954, 1962, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1971, 1972, and 1973, as well as a Most Performed Song award in 1968 and a Pop & Country Performance Award in 1974).

His publisher, Four Star Publishing, gave him platinum records for "Release Me" and "There She Goes."

The Oklahoma Music Association awarded him its All Time Great Songwriter's Award.

In 2018, the Academy of Country Music Awards posthumously honoured Miller (alongside Mickey and Chris Christensen) with the Mae Boren Axton Award.

Belper is a former constituency in the UK Parliament. It was created at the 1918 general election as a county division of Derbyshire, comprising the area in the centre of the county and surrounding Derby, and named after the market town of Belper although this was in the north of the constituency. In 1950 it was expanded to include the far south of the county. It was a marginal constituency for most of its existence.

The area had an ever-expanding population after 1945 as prosperous suburbs of Derby were built outside the city boundaries. Lord George-Brown, who represented the seat at the time, wrote in 1971 after his defeat in the 1970 general election that "The electorate had increased by over 10,000 since 1966, mainly from the growth of middle-class housing estates, so that most of the new electors could be expected to vote Tory. Since my majority in 1966 was 4,274, an influx of 10,000 new voters, mainly Tory, obviously imperilled the seat." A Boundary Commission report issued in 1969 had recommended changes which would have removed the extra voters, but the Labour government of the time had delayed implementation of the report.

Boundaries
When created in 1918, the constituency consisted of the Urban Districts of Alfreton, Belper and Heage, together with the Rural District of Belper and part of the Rural District of Repton (the civil parishes of Ash, Bearwardcote, Bretby, Burnaston, Dalbury Lees, Egginton, Etwall, Findern, Foremark, Ingleby, Mickleover, Newton Solney, Radbourne, Repton, Trusley, Twyford and Stenson, and Willington).

In 1950, boundary changes removed the Urban Districts of Alfreton and Heage to the Ilkeston constituency, together with the civil parish of Shipley from Belper Rural District. To compensate for this loss of electors, the changes transferred in the rest of the Repton Rural District from the West Derbyshire and South East Derbyshire constituencies. In addition from South East Derbyshire came the Urban District of Swadlincote.

In 1974 the boundaries were realigned with those for local government which had changed to transfer some electors to Derby; the constituency consisted of the urban districts of Belper and Swadlincote, and the rural districts of Repton and Belper except the civil parish of Shipley.

In 1983 the constituency was abolished; the largest part (40,000 voters around Swadlincote) formed the basis of South Derbyshire, 22,000 voters around Belper itself went to West Derbyshire, and 10,000 voters to Amber Valley.

Paul Beard (4 August 1901 – 22 April 1989) was an English violinist, known particularly as leader of Sir Thomas Beecham's original London Philharmonic Orchestra and Sir Adrian Boult's BBC Symphony Orchestra.  He was also a teacher, holding posts at the Royal Academy of Music and the Guildhall School of Music.

Life and career
Beard was born in Birmingham. He was taught by his father, a professional violist, and first played in public in 1907 at the age of six. He was educated at the Birmingham Oratory and St. Philip's Grammar School and when he was fourteen he won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music.

In 1920 Beard was appointed to lead the spa orchestra at Scarborough, and from 1922 to 1932 he was leader of the City of Birmingham Orchestra. When Sir Thomas Beecham established the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 1932, Beard was its first leader, remaining there until 1936, when he had the choice between offers to become concertmaster of the Boston Symphony Orchestra or leader of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. He chose the latter, attracted, he said, by the number and quality of the conductors and soloists with whom he would be working, and also by the very broad repertoire of the BBC orchestra. Arturo Toscanini, who was a guest conductor of the orchestra between 1935 and 1939, acknowledged Beard as the greatest orchestral leader he had met. Boult shared Toscanini's view, and said that he knew of no conductor who did not also do so.

Beard  remained with the BBC Symphony Orchestra until his retirement in 1962, having been awarded an OBE in 1952. He taught at the Royal Academy of Music, the Royal College of Music (from 1936 to 1940) and the Guildhall School of Music. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music (FRAM) in 1939. He died in Epsom.

In 1925 Beard married Joyce Cass-Smith, who predeceased him. They had a son and a daughter.

An uncle, Frederic Beard (c. 1865 – 5 May 1912), was a choirmaster and organist in Birmingham, then in 1906 moved to Melbourne, Victoria, where he had a profound influence on choral performance. He died of appendicitis in Colombo while returning to Australia after a European holiday.

The Kincardine Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located in Kincardine, Ontario, near the mouth of the Penetangore River. Built in 1881, it is 24.4 metres (74 feet) tall and was built above the light keeper's home. The tower is eight sided and sits on a stone foundation. The facility has been renovated and is now the Kincardine Yacht Club and a museum. It is open for tours from July 1 to Labour Day.

History
The Kincardine lighthouse was built in 1881 to serve the harbour of Kincardine and its fishing and salt-shipping industries. Kincardine also had many lumber and furniture companies at the turn of the 20th century, with the Kincardine Lighthouse helping to keep the boats safe while they were coming into the harbour.

Contractor Joseph White started the project but his work was not satisfactory so he was replaced with another builder.

The tower illuminated the lake coast as well as the harbor entrance. Until 1922, the keeper was required to wind up the clockwork-like mechanism—with a system of weights and pulleys—that enabled the weights to rotate the lens.

The light was upgraded in 1910, with a fourth-order Fresnel lens. It was then modified to lighting by a kerosene lamp. In addition to winding the clockwork mechanism, the keeper was required to carry the fuel up the 69 steps in buckets, twice daily. In 1922, the light was converted to electricity, making the keeper's job less strenuous.

The first keeper after the official opening was William Kay. A number of other keepers followed but the light ceased operation in 1977 so there was no further need for staff. In 1980 the lighthouse was leased to the yacht club which opened a small museum. Guided tours were available in past years but the lighthouse is deteriorating. Repairs to the foundation were scheduled for 2013 but delayed to 2014. In June 2015 the municipality applied for federal grants to cover part of the cost of a complete restoration.

Keepers
William Robert Kay, 1874–1899
Thomas McGaw, Jr., 1899–1913
William G. Temple, 1913–1928
Donald Martin, 1928–1929
Oran Westell, 1929–1955
Myron Hall, 1955–1956
Alonzo Burley, 1956–1978

Earlier, before the full lighthouse was completed, Ross Robertson was the keeper of a fixed red light on the north pier; he started that job in April 1874 but died in November.

Today
The Kincardine Lighthouse is now a marine museum for the Kincardine area.

Local culture
The Lighthouse Blues Festival takes place near the lighthouse in July each year. The Kincardine water tower has the lighthouse painted on it, and the Kincardine Business Improvement Association features the lighthouse on its logo and is represented by the mascot Blinky the Lighthouse.

On summer evenings (July and August, excluding Saturdays) a bagpiper known as the Phantom Piper plays from the top of the lighthouse.

WYPL (89.3 FM) is a non-commercial radio station that serves the area of Memphis, Tennessee, in the United States. The station is licensed to the Memphis Public Library & Information Center and provides an open radio reading service to patrons, a type of service usually available elsewhere in the United States only on special leased receivers. This station is only of two such open-air broadcasting operations in the United States; the other is located in New Orleans.

Volunteers present daily readings of The Commercial Appeal, USA Today, and other newspapers. The station also features book readings, author interviews, news programming provided by BBC News, and audio simulcasts of the midday newscasts of WMC-TV (Channel 5), along with the NBC Nightly News.  The station has been selected by the American Foundation for the Blind as the Model Radio Reading Service.

Locally-produced programs include Book Talk, which features interviews with authors; Library News; Eye On Vision, which features interviews with doctors and also provides information on research and development in vision and eye care; and Night Owl, a story-reading program aimed at children aged six and under, co-ordinated to a probable bedtime.

It is unknown exactly when the station first signed on the air as a subcarrier station but it moved to the 89.3 frequency on April 17, 1991; that frequency first went on air as WLYX (whose date of first operations is also unclear), a station licensed to Southwestern at Memphis (now Rhodes College), and was branded as "The Alternative." The freeform college rock station was operated by a student and volunteer staff with broadly eclectic tastes, and was widely influential in bringing genres such as punk and new wave to the Memphis area in the early 1980s. The station was discontinued in 1989, when Rhodes president James Daughdrill, a strong social conservative, decided that WLYX was not in keeping with the college's core mission.

In perhaps something of a tribute to the old WLYX, though, WYPL added music programming in the evenings during the 2010s, mainly nostalgic material relating to Memphis' heyday from the 1950s to the 1970s as a recording center for rock, soul and blues music.

Albert Dennis "Ab" Kirwan (December 22, 1904 – November 30, 1971) was an American football coach and university administrator. He was the seventh president of the University of Kentucky.  He also was the head football coach at Kentucky from 1938 to 1944.

Kirwan received the A.B. degree from UK in 1926, an M.A. degree from the University of Louisville in 1944 and was awarded an LL.B. degree from the Jefferson School of Law and a doctorate from Duke University, in 1947.

After leaving the football program, Kirwan took a fellowship in history at Duke University. He returned to UK as a professor and an administrator, serving as dean of men, dean of students, and dean of the graduate school. He served as president of the university for a short period in 1968 prior to Otis Singletary's presidency.

Kirwan wrote or co-wrote several history books, including Revolt of the Rednecks: Mississippi Politics, and was a lecturer at other American and European universities. His legacy is remembered at UK with the naming of Kirwan Tower and the low-rise Kirwan dormitories for Dr. Kirwan. They were established in 1951 and have served as dorms for students until recently when the UK board of trustees approved funding for their demolition in 2019.

Kirwan's son, William English Kirwan, a 1962 UK graduate, was the third chancellor of the University System of Maryland, and former president of the University of Maryland, College Park and Ohio State University.
