Durham Regatta

Durham Regatta is a rowing regatta held annually on the second weekend in June on the River Wear in Durham, North East of England; It is known as the Henley of the North, but began several years before the more prestigious Henley Royal Regatta. Durham Regatta is the second-oldest rowing regatta in England, preceded only by Chester Regatta. The first regatta was held over 17–19 June 1834, opening with a six-oared race in 1834 won by Velocity, owned by W. L. Wharton, High Sheriff of Durham, against the Durham University Original Club in Sylph.

The race has been held 182 times and, in recent years, the regatta has had competitors from all corners of the UK, as well as crews from as far afield as Amsterdam. Almost all colleges of Durham University will compete across a variety of boat types and standards, and it is usually the chance to determine which college has the strongest crews of the year.

Events

Events are competed over either the short (regatta) course, a  stretch of river which provides an excellent view of racing from start to finish, or the long (championship) course. The long course of  takes in a number of sweeping bends and Elvet Bridge and ends near Prebends Bridge.

Grand Challenge Cup 

The blue riband event is the Grand Challenge Cup, which has been run since 1854. It has recently been dominated by Durham University Boat Club and Newcastle University Boat Club. This event is for Elite Men's Coxed Fours, and due to the introduction of the Prince Albert Challenge Cup for Men's Student Coxed Fours at Henley Royal Regatta, this event has proved to be useful practice for student crews from the University Boat Club and College Boat Clubs in the run up to the Royal Regatta.

Kennemerland

Kennemerland is a coastal region in the northwestern Netherlands, in the province of North Holland. It includes the sand dunes north of the North Sea Canal, as well as the dunes of Zuid-Kennemerland National Park.

History

Kennemerland gets its name from the Kennemer people, Frisians who fought unsuccessfuly with the Counts of Holland and in the Middle Ages. The name is said to derive from the Canninefates. Because of the wars and the Dutch rerouting of waterways, the original borders of Kennemerland have been lost. During the 20th century, the term Kennemerland has been redefined to denote municipal regions of North Holland. Because the Kennemers, according to folklore, were always on the attack, many sports teams in Haarlem are called Kennemers.

Precisely who the Kennemer people were is unclear. The knights of Kennemerlant, as the area was then called, quarelled continually over trading rights and land ownership. The local farmers who paid rent were often asked for goods from either Egmond Abbey or their local church, as well as from these knights. In North Holland during the years 900–1300, castles were often built and later destroyed, and archaeologists today are still trying to piece together evidence.

Beringen, Luxembourg

Beringen () is a small town in the commune of Mersch, in central Luxembourg.  , the town had a population of 930. It is situated approximately 16 km (10 mi) from the capital city of Luxembourg, as the crow flies.

History 

Perhaps the earliest written mention of Beringen is in a deed of gift from Erkanfridas, the widow of a minor nobleman. It was written in 853, and mentions a forest in Beringen which was to become the property of the abbey of St. Maximin.

In 1325, Beringen was included in the list of dairies belonging to the jurisdiction given by the high court of John the Blind to the Lord of Mersch, Johann von Meilberg.

The village of Beringen was more fortunate during the Thirty Years' War than many other towns in the area. Of the thirteen serf estates existing before the war, twelve still remained at the end of the war.

The entrepreneur Mathias Probst built a new stone bridge over the Alzette in 1837-1840. This bridge was blown up by the Germans in September 1944 during the retreat, and was rebuilt in 1948-1949 by the entrepreneur Jos Kieffer.

A serious fire ravaged the town on 18 June 1858, destroying eleven houses.

Church 

By the late fourteenth century, Beringen had a small chapel. This was replaced in 1715 by a slightly larger house of worship, known today as the old chapel. After nearly two hundred years, it, too, no longer met the needs of the village, and a new chapel was blessed on 6 September 1905. This chapel is the current parish church.

In 1933, villagers under the leadership of Messrs. Rollinger, Bunsen, and Huss built the Muttergottesgrotte (Mother of God Grotto), in the atrium of the church. It was built using many fossilized sea shells collected near Beringen. The impulse to build this grotto may have been inspired by the 1933 canonization of St. Bernadette.

The old chapel was restored in 1988.

School 

The old school next to the shepherd's house, opposite the old chapel, was retired in 1935. The new school, officially inaugurated 22 October 1939, was taught by Jos Schlitz. There were seven elementary classes and at times up to 60 students.

Five other Beringens

Beringen, Luxembourg, is one of five towns in Europe with the name Beringen. The others are located in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland. Since 1974, the five similarly named towns have formed an association, International Amicale 5x Beringen, with the stated goals of organizing international 5x Beringen games, promoting sporting activity, promoting international understanding, and promoting social life. Since 1975, this club has become the driving social force in Beringen, Luxembourg.

Methylococcus capsulatus

Methylococcus capsulatus is an obligately methanotrophic gram-negative, non-motile coccoid bacterium. M. capsulatus are thermotolerant; their cells are encapsulated and tend to have a diplococcoid shape. In addition to methane, M. capsulatus is able to oxidize some organic hydrogen containing compounds such as methanol.
It has been used commercially to produce animal feed from natural gas.

Metabolism and genetics
Methylococcus capsulatus is a Type I methanotroph, meaning that it is a member of the Gammaproteobacteria and that it utilizes the ribulose monophosphate pathway (RuMP) for formaldehyde assimilation. Methane is first oxidized to methanol, which then gets converted into formaldehyde. Formaldehyde can then be (1) further oxidized to formate and carbon dioxide for energy production or (2) assimilated into biomass.

Various strains of M. capsulatus have been isolated and studied, particularly M. capsulatus (Bath), M. capsulatus (Texas) and M. capsulatus (Aberdeen).

The genome sequence of M. capsulatus (Bath) is available.

Growth requirements
M. capsulatus has also been demonstrated to be thermotolerant – that is, it can grow well up to 50 °C, though its optimum growth temperature is 37 °C. In addition, M. capsulatus can live in conditions in which there is little molecular oxygen available.

Commercial use
In 1999, Norferm a subsidiary of the Norwegian oil company Statoil, opened a 10,000 tons per year plant to produce animal feed from natural gas from M. capsulatus in Tjeldbergodden, Norway. The plant was shut down in 2006 because of low animal feed prices, the product had not yet been approved by the EU and high natural gas prices.

In 2016 Calysta, an American biotech company, opened a plant in Teesside, UK, to produce up to 100 tons of fish feed a year from natural gas using M. capsulatus. The company also announced plans to build a similar plant in Memphis, Tennessee with an eventual capacity of 200,000 ton a year with the agricultural business company Cargill. Another company, Unibio, also opened a plant to produce animal feed from natural gas in 2016 with a capacity of 80 tons per year using M. capsulatus in Kalundborg, Denmark. In 2018 a licensee of Unibio constructed an industrial scale plant in Ivangorod, Russia close to the border of Estonia. The plant has a capacity of 6,000 tonnes of protein per year.

Carl Honoré

Carl Honoré (born 29 December 1967 in Scotland) is a Canadian journalist who wrote the internationally best-selling book In Praise of Slow (2004) about the Slow Movement.

In 2008, he came out with a new book, Under Pressure: Rescuing Our Children from the Culture of Hyper-Parenting, which promotes a more relaxed and more hands-off technique for raising and educating children: slow parenting.

Honoré was born in Scotland, but considers Edmonton his hometown. After he graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a degree in History and Italian, he worked with street children in Brazil, which inspired him to take up journalism. Since 1991, he has reported from all over Europe and South America, spending three years as a correspondent in Buenos Aires. His work has appeared in publications including the Economist, Observer, American Way, National Post, Globe and Mail, Houston Chronicle, and the Miami Herald. He has appeared on Fox and Friends and Dennis Miller and was the subject of a double-page spread in Newsweek. He currently works and lives in London with his wife, Miranda France, and their two children.

Bibliography 
Honoré's first book, In Praise of Slow: Challenging the Cult of Speed (HarperOne, 2004; U.S. title In Praise of Slowness), traces the history of humans' relationship with time, efficiency and speed and the consequences.  It describes 'slow movements' that have gained attention in various contexts, such as at work, home and schools.

In his 2008 book Under Pressure: Rescuing Our Children from the Culture of Hyper-Parenting, Honoré explores potential 'dangers' of parents micro-managing their children and compares too much and parents can slow down approaches. The book quotes a few lines from a leadership coach Nigel Cumberland: "If you deny a toddler the chance to play and then put him in a preschool where he is always competing and being measured, you get fear and that leads to an unwillingness to take risks, you end up with boring adults".

In 2013 Honoré's third book The Slow Fix: Solve Problems, Work Smarter and Live Better in a Fast World, was published. He questions the wide use of superficial, short-term quick fixes and argues that slow fixes are better able to deliver longer-lasting ways of addressing complex problems.

In December 2018 Simon & Schuster published Bolder: Making the most of our longer lives.

The Chronicle (Seinfeld)

"The Chronicle" (also known as "The Clip Show") is an hour-long, two-part episode that constitutes the 177th and 178th episodes of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. These were the 21st and 22nd episodes of Seinfeld from the ninth and final season. It aired on May 14, 1998. Both parts of "The Chronicle" were seen by 58.53 million viewers. To accommodate the long running time of "The Finale," "The Chronicle" ran for 45 minutes on its initial airing. When rerun it was split into two half-hour episodes, with a new scene added to introduce the second episode. The episode is a clip show containing just a few minutes of previously unseen footage, most of which is bloopers from previous episodes and behind-the-scenes photographs rather than newly filmed content. While referred to by fans as "The Clip Show," its official title is "The Chronicle".

Plot

Part 1
Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer plan to go to the movies, but Jerry takes out a little time to look at nine years of memories. Jerry breaks the fourth wall by talking directly to the audience, while Kramer and George interrupt by yelling back at Jerry, worried that they'll miss the previews.

The first montage of clips has the original audio removed and replaced by "Superman Theme" by John Williams. Superman is Jerry Seinfeld's favorite superhero and is often referenced in the show. The montage consists of action sequences and shots of characters expressing a sense of triumph.

Swing music plays over short clips of the cast wearing different costumes and hairstyles.

Part 2
Kramer comes up to get Jerry. "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson plays during clips of the cast dancing. More clips are seen and the closing minutes feature a series of bloopers, behind-the-scenes production, and a montage set to the Green Day song "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)". The show ends with a clip of the four main characters getting off a subway train and going their separate ways, followed by one last set of bloopers.

Minamoto no Yoriyoshi

was a Japanese samurai lord who was the head of the Minamoto clan and served as Chinjufu-shōgun. Along with his son Minamoto no Yoshiie, he led the Imperial forces against rebellious forces in the north, a campaign called the Zenkunen War, which would be followed some years later by the Gosannen War.

Biography 
His childhood name was Odaimaru (王代丸). He held the title, passed down from his father, of Chinjufu-shōgun, Commander-in-chief of the Defense of the North.

Yoriyoshi accompanied his father Minamoto no Yorinobu on his own missions to defend the Empire, quelling rebellions and disturbances. Thus he gained much of his knowledge of tactics and strategy. He fought in the Zenkunen War for twelve years starting in 1051, including the Battle of Kawasaki. In 1063, Yoriyoshi founded Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gū in Kamakura which was to become, roughly a century later, the primary shrine of the Minamoto clan when they began the Kamakura shogunate.

His son was Minamoto no Yoshiie, who "would go on to be admired by his contemporaries as the greatest warrior."

In 1065, he ordained as a Buddhist monk and received the Dharma name Shinkai (信海).

Family

Tracy Read

Tracy Glenn Read (December 23, 1961 – July 25, 1987) was a campaigner on the Automobile Racing Club of America tour. His first race was on October 31, 1981, at Milwaukee. He also worked on Cale Yarborough's NASCAR team and for a few ARCA races in 1987 Read ran Yarborough's backup Winston Cup race car.

In the spring race at Talladega in 1987, Read was swept up in a massive pileup late in the race, but was uninjured. However, on his next race back at Talladega in July, on the 78th lap of the 117 lap (500 km race), Kirk Bryant spun and hit the outside wall. Read, who was behind Bryant's whirling Oldsmobile, spun through the infield grass to avoid him, but Read's car plowed nearly head on into the inside dirt bank. Read, 25, died instantly of massive head, chest, and abdominal injuries from the crash.

Read was noted for his very close physical resemblance to Davey Allison, and may be best remembered for his actions following the big crash in the first Talladega race of 1987 when he climbed from his car and began waving frantically for safety crews to extinguish the flames from his burning car.

Following his death, Cale Yarborough said of Read, "Tracy was a nice young man who would do anything to help someone in need, he can never be replaced by anyone else and I'll miss him a lot..."

Rogla

Rogla () is a peak on Zreče Pohorje () in the Municipality of Zreče in northeastern Slovenia. The area is part of the traditional region of Styria. It is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.

Name
Rogla was attested in written sources in 1763–87 as Vitenska Planina and Wittenska Planina. The Slovene name Rogla is derived from the Slovene common noun rogla 'forked tree-covered mountain ridge', referring to the local topography.

Tourism

Tourism at Zreče Pohorje first appeared before the Second World War. The first wooden observation tower on Rogla was built in 1934. Most tourist buildings were burnt down during the war. The hut on Rogla was rebuilt in 1956. It was managed by the Zreče hiking club until 1972, when it was taken over and renovated by the Unior company. In 1974, Unior's management commissioned studies for the development of Rogla as a ski resort. The road leading to the peak was also widened. The first ski lifts were built and could handle up to 900 skiers per hour.

The idea was to develop Rogla together with other tourist centres on Pohorje to offer a complete package with skiing, the spa resort at Zreče,  and agrotourism in the area. Thus in 1978 construction began on Hotel Dobrava in Zreče and Hotel Planja on Rogla. Hotel Planja opened in 1980 together with new ski lifts. In 1981, Hotel Dobrava with 70 beds, a swimming pool, and a new athletics-football stadium was completed. 

By the 1990s Rogla had a capacity of over 1,200 beds and ski lifts handling 12,200 skiers per hour. A new Hotel Dobrava with 160 new beds was opened in 2000 and between 2002 and 2004 four new chairlifts were constructed and artificial snow systems extended, making Rogla one of the ski centres in Slovenia with the best snow conditions and the longest ski season.

Today there are 13 slopes available for all levels of skiers.

Burdekin Water Quality Improvement Plan

The Coastal Catchment Initiative will seek to deliver significant reductions in the discharge of pollutants to agreed hotspots, where those hotspots have been identified through agreement with the relevant jurisdictions.

The Burdekin regional Coastal Catchments Initiative aims to reduce agricultural pollutants entering rivers and streams within the Burdekin catchment and Great Barrier Reef lagoon.

The NQ Dry Tropics (formerly Burdekin Dry Tropics NRM) Coastal Catchments Initiative (CCI) project intends to achieve pollutant reductions by facilitating the development and implementation of a BDT Water Quality Improvement Plan (WQIP). The CCI project is a collaborative activity amongst various Government agencies, science providers, industry and the community to integrate activities aimed at developing tools and techniques for target setting under Reef Plan and to identify and implement strategies to achieve these targets.

Illinois Route 124

Illinois Route 124 (IL 124) is a  state route in central Illinois. It has the distinction of being marked as an east–west route, but IL 124 runs entirely north–south for the majority of its route. IL 124 runs from IL 123 between Athens and Williamsville to the Business Loop for Interstate 55 (I-55) around Springfield at Sherman.

Route description 
Illinois 124 is a rural, two-lane surface street for its entire length.

History 
SBI Route 124 was what Illinois Route 29 is now from Springfield north to near Athens. In 1940 the route was changed to Illinois 29, and former Illinois Route 24 was changed to Illinois Route 124, running east from Athens to the current northern terminus, and south to the Business Loop. In October 2003, Illinois 123 was extended east to Williamsville, which eliminated the east–west portion  of Illinois 124.

Elbe Cycle Route

The Elbe Cycle Route (Elberadweg in German) is part of an international network of cycling routes all over Europe. It is integrated in the system of currently 37 river cycling routes in Germany and by far the most popular route for cyclists in this country. 

The Elbe Cycle Route starts in Špindlerův Mlýn in the Giant Mountains. It then runs for about 1220 km until it ends in Cuxhaven at the North Sea. Part of it falls together with the EV7 of the EuroVelo network. One variety of the route starts in Prague, following the river Vltava to the Elbe.

After a fairly adventurous part of the Route on the Czech side of the river one reaches the famous Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Bohemian Switzerland and Saxon Switzerland and crosses the border to Germany. Shortly after this the Route leads through, Dresden and later through other cities like Meißen, Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Dessau, Magdeburg, Tangermünde, Lauenburg, Hamburg, Cuxhaven.

There are many small villages with old churches and other interesting sites along the way. A lot of restaurants and pensions offer their service to the weary after a day of cycling.

One of the other reasons however for its popularity is probably the fact that there are no significant level changes from Dresden on. It is practically downhill all the way from Dresden to Cuxhaven while the other direction mostly offers slight tailwinds.

The Elbe Cycling Route is marked throughout Germany with a special sign.
