Chasing Time is a reality television and documentary show screened in the United Kingdom from 2001 to 2003.  It was akin to a game show in a race format where a team of two related people completed a series of challenges in a major world city in a limited period of time.  The show is also named Chasing Time In with some sources.

Premise
The premise was similar to The Amazing Race, except the one team completed all challenges in one world city completely unknown to them.  The time limit was typically 12 hours for all tasks, but each task also had its own time limit.

Maillas (Occitan: Malhàs) is a hamlet and commune in the Landes department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in south-western France. It is situated on the Route nationale 524 (N524).

The N524 forms part of the Itinéraire à Grand Gabarit, a route which has been modified to allow its use by the oversize road convoys conveying body sections and wings of the Airbus A380 airliner. Updates to the road layout were necessary to facilitate the transit of the convoys through the commune, including adjustments to the vertical profile of the road.

Politics 
Since 2014, Maillas' mayor has been Jean-Luc Darroman, a former forest contractor of the Divers gauche. Prior to that, from 2001 to his retirement in 2014, the mayor was Christian Garbaye.

Nazareth Evangelical College is an evangelical Bible college located in Nazareth, Israel. The language of instruction is Arabic. The college offers graduate and undergraduate degrees and provides a number of other education services to the local community.

History
Nazareth Evangelical College has its origins in two Bible colleges: Galilee Bible College (GBC) and Nazareth Evangelical Theological Seminary (NETS). Nazareth Evangelical Theological Seminary (NETS) was founded in 2007 by the Scottish missionary-scholar J. Bryson Arthur and his wife May, originally with the name The Nazareth Center for Christian Studies. Galilee Bible College was founded as an Israeli branch of the West Bank Bible college Bethlehem Bible College. All courses were taught in Arabic.

With the departure of NETS's primarily Western staff in 2013, NETS was handed over to entirely Arab leadership, turned into a purely Arab-language institution, and was merged with GBC to become Nazareth Evangelical College, Israel's only theological seminary dedicated to serving the country's Arab evangelical minority  in their own language. The merger took place in partnership in 2014 with the Association of Baptist Churches in Israel (ABCI), Bethlehem Bible College (BBC), and the Convention of Evangelical Churches in Israel (now called the Synod of Evangelical Churches in Israel).

Academics and programs
Nazareth Evangelical College offers a BA in Biblical Studies and an MA in Leadership & Christian Ministry. Both degrees receive their accreditation through Bethlehem Bible College, which is accredited by the Middle East Association for Theological Education (MEATE), Asia Theological Association (ATA) and the Palestinian Authority.

NEC has also started an International Study Program, a series of courses and excursions designed to help develop relationships with international partners and share something about the unique Palestinian-Israeli evangelical context to visitors interested in deepening their understanding of the region. Currently on offer are a series of lectures on different facets of the local context and a combination of these lectures with a tour.

In addition to an extensive English language theological library, NEC now hosts the largest  Arabic-language theological library in the country.

Approach
NEC subscribes to an evangelical statement of faith.

Glenn Thomas Trewartha (1896 – 1984) was an American geographer of Cornish American descent.

He graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, with a Ph.D. in 1924. He taught at the University of Wisconsin.

He gave an address to the Association of American Geographers, "A Case for Population Geography", in which he argued that "fundamentally geography is anthropocentric, and if such is the case, that numbers,  densities  and  qualities  of  the population provide the essential background for all geography. Population provide the essential background for  all  geography.  Population  is  the  point  of  reference  from  which  all  other  elements  are observed, and from which they all singly and collectively derive   significance   and   meaning". He also wrote about climate, explaining that the atmosphere was like "a pane of glass in a greenhouse... thus maintaining surface temperatures considerably higher than they otherwise would be."

The River Ray is a tributary of the River Cherwell in south east England. It rises at Quainton Hill, Buckinghamshire and flows west through flat countryside for around  to meet the Cherwell at Islip in Oxfordshire.

The Ray's catchment area is sparsely populated, especially in its lower reaches as it flows through the Otmoor wetlands. In 1815 a channel was cut between Charlton-on-Otmoor and Oddington, known as the New River Ray, to divert much of the water flow around the northern and southern edge of Otmoor.

Robert Cowell (5 December 1922 – 11 January 1996) was an English football defender. During his football career he only played for one club, Newcastle United. Despite his success with Newcastle he failed to win any caps for the England national team.

Career
Cowell was born in Trimdon Grange and worked as a coalminer at Blackhall Colliery as a teenager, as well as playing for the non-league football team Blackhall Colliery Welfare. He joined Newcastle in October 1943 at the age of 20 – a time when the club were only playing friendly matches as World War II meant all the football leagues in England were suspended. He made 81 appearances for Newcastle as a right-back.

He made his Football League debut on 1 February 1947 in a match against Barnsley and would feature a further 12 times before the end of the season. He only played 19 league games for the rest of the following season as Newcastle were promoted into the First Division. However, he bided his time and became the club's first choice right-back for the 1948–49 season.

Along with Jackie Milburn and Bobby Mitchel Cowell featured in all three of Newcastle's FA Cup successes during the 1950s. He won his first FA Cup winners medal in 1951 when Newcastle beat Blackpool 2–0 and the following year he was part of the team that surprised Arsenal and the first team to retain the cup since 1891. He won his third FA Cup title in 1955 against Manchester City.

Retirement and death
Bobby Cowell was forced to retire in 1955 at the age of 33 when he picked up a serious knee injury during a pre-season tour of Germany. He had made 330 appearances for Newcastle.

One of Newcastle United's top goalscorers of all time, Jackie Milburn, stated that Cowell was "the best uncapped fullback I've ever known".

Bobby Cowell died on 11 January 1996 in Newcastle upon Tyne, aged 73.
