Millennium Dome Show

The Millennium Dome Show was a multimedia theatrical performance created to commemorate the year 2000 in the Millennium Dome in London, England. The show was directed by Douglas Hodge, who wrote the show alongside English musician Peter Gabriel and English architect Mark Fisher. 

Fisher designed the show while Gabriel composed the music, later made available as his eleventh studio album OVO. Micha Bergese was the Artistic Director. The show was performed in the middle of the Dome, opened on 1 January 2000 and was performed 999 times before its closing on 31 December of that year. The stage and sets are now Toy Story Midway Mania at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida which Hodge assisted to develop.

The Story of OVO

The Story of OVO was released in the CD-shaped comic book which was part of the CD edition of the studio album OVO with the title "OVO The Millennium Show".

The Romeo and Juliet-like story in the show, serving as an allegory for humanity's unity between nature and technology, revolved around a feud between the "earth-people" and the "sky-people". A young boy from the sky and a young girl from the earth fell in love, but the feud between their people made it difficult for them to meet.  Eventually the earth-people suffered a crushing defeat, which ultimately led them to reconcile and unite with the sky-people. At the end of the show, the lovers flew together into a better future, symbolizing the beginning of the new millennium.

George Skouras

George P. Skouras (; ; 1896–1964) was an American movie executive and president of United Artists Theatres, born in Skourohorion, Greece. He was one of ten children of a sheep herder and his wife. He and two older brothers emigrated to the United States about 1910 and rose in the new movie industry to become top movie executives. The extended Skouras family continue to be actively involved in the Hollywood film industry today.

Life and career

The Skouras brothers, George and his older brothers Charles and Spyros, arrived in St. Louis in 1908–11. Working as busboys and bartenders in downtown hotels, they lived frugally. In 1914 they pooled their savings of $3500 and, in partnership with two other Greeks, constructed a nickelodeon at 1420 Market Street. This site is now occupied by Kiel Opera House. They named their first theater the Olympia, and soon acquired others.

The brothers incorporated in 1924 with $400,000 capital stock. By then the Skouras Brothers Co. owned more  than 30 local theaters. In 1926 they opened the world-class $5.5 million Ambassador Theatre, a movie palace on Grand. (This theatre re-opened in 1939 as the New Fox Theatre and has been restored as a venue for live performances). In 1929, following the Stock Market Crash, the triumvirate sold out to Warner Brothers and moved east to gain executive places in the industry, then based in New York.

In November 1944, George toured the Peloponnese, filming the destruction of Greek countryside following the withdrawal of German troops.

George Skouras become president of United Artists Theatres. In 1952 he joined United Artists with Michael Todd and Joe Schenck, former president of Twentieth Century Fox, in order to form the Magna Theatre Corporation for production and distribution of Todd-AO films.

Nanki–Shirahama Airport

is a third class airport located in the town of Shirahama, Wakayama, Japan. It serves the southern part of the Kii Peninsula with three daily Japan Airlines round-trips to Tokyo International Airport, utilizing Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The travel time is 65 minutes to Haneda and 75 minutes in reverse direction.

History
Nanki–Shirahama Airport is located in a hilly area about 1.5 kilometers southeast of the center of Shirahama Town, and was established by the Wakayama Prefectural government. It is the only airport in Wakayama prefecture and the southernmost airport in Honshu.The airport opened in April 1968 with a 1200 meter runway. Flights connecting Tokyo, Osaka (Itami) and Nagoya were opened, but subsequently the Osaka and Nagoya flights withdrew. An 1800 meter runway on the eastern adjacent land was completed on March 9, 1996 with the aim of upgrading the capability of the airport to handle jet aircraft. This runway was later extended to 2000 meters.

The airport is located about 65 kilometers south-southeast of the city of Wakayama, which is the administrative and economic center of the prefecture. However, Kansai International Airport, which opened in 1994 is located closer, which had resulted in Nanki-Shirahama Airport being used mostly by tourists visiting Nanki-Shirahama Onsen and locations further south.

Airlines and destinations

Ground Transportation
The Michinori HD which operates the airport had thought that tried developing the airport into the hub of not only airline traffic but also other commerce. At present, the airport has turned the hub of various buses which come from Tokyo and Osaka, Kyoto.

Reshteh

Reshteh (), from the Persian word for thread or string, refers to a very fine noodle similar to capellini (angel hair pasta).  However, it generally means a fresh (as opposed to dry) ribbon shaped egg noodle.  It was passed from China to Persia through the Silk Road travels throughout Asia. Traditionally the noodle would be a homemade and cut item. Noodles are used for special occasion dishes in giving thanks and for journeys especially to Mecca. Typical preparation is for the noodles to broken into parts, fried or grilled brown and then added to rice. 

The reshteh used currently in the Iranian cuisine is actually a thicker type of noodle, used in reshteh polow and also a type of ash, called Ash Reshteh.

Skouras Pictures

Skouras Pictures was an American independent movie distribution company that was founded by Tom Skouras in 1983. The company distributed more than 200 movies between 1983 and 1995, including notable films as Blood Simple, My Life as a Dog, The Comfort of Strangers and Apartment Zero.

In 1985, after two years as a foreign sales firm, Skouras Pictures decided to expand onto U.S. distribution, which by 1986, Pamela Pricking, who was an executive at Skouras Pictures, and sales director Sigrid Ann Davison, will represent a dozen of films at the MIFED Film Festival, and decided that Skouras Pictures is looking for bigger films, particularly in regional countries like Germany, England and Scandinavia.

In 1986, Kelly Neal joined Skouras Pictures as president of its domestic distribution. Also that year, Skouras made a reedited version of Shadey, which received negative reception. Briefly, in the late 1980s, independent film executive Jeff Lipsky joined Skouras Pictures as head of acquisitions, marketing and distribution before he quit to start October Films. In 1991, the company refused to attend the Cannes, among smallest studios.

On July 9, 1990, the company had inked a distribution pact with Paramount Home Video to release their exclusive home video distribution of titles on videocassette. In 1992, it launched a home video distribution Skouras Home Video, with Paramount themselves serving as distributor. In 1993, it distributed the controversial Shannon Tweed erotic thriller Cold Sweat, which had a short-lived theatrical release before going to home video.

In 1995, Skouras Pictures decided to end film distribution, following some scrambling after an attempt to make the company public. In 2000, Skouras Pictures was relaunched with the acquisition of the independent arthouse film The Truth About Tully, and has plans to release their six titles annually.

Ford Gyron

The Ford Gyron was a futuristic two-wheeled gyrocar first shown to the world in 1961 at the Detroit Motor Show as a concept car designed by Syd Mead and McKinley Thompson. One wheel was at the front and the other at the rear like a motorcycle and the car was stabilized by gyroscopes. The two occupants of the vehicle were seated side by side and, when the vehicle was stationary, two small legs appeared from the sides to support it. The vehicle was created for research and marketing purposes, with no intention to put it into production. 

Alex Tremulis was the designer and the gyroscopic systems were based on Louis Brennan's theories. The Ford Motor Company of Detroit gave credit for the Gyron to Louis Brennan. Alex Tremulis had started his career with the US Air Force and worked in 1948 at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base on the concept of Military flying saucers. He then became the chief designer for the ill-fated Tucker automobile before joining Ford, and was also involved with the Tuscan gyroscopic motorcycles and the Gyronaught XU1 gyroscopic car.

The original fiberglass concept was destroyed in the 1962 Ford Rotunda fire. Only the studio model remains today, it was sold at an auction in December 2012 for $40,000.

Upon completion of the Fireman's Fund sale in 1991, the remaining holding company and residual assets formed the starting point for the future White Mountains.

In December 2020, the company reported book value per share of $1,000.

Leadership

White Mountain Insurance's current director is CEO George Manning Rountree.

Pulgas Water Temple

The Pulgas Water Temple is a stone structure in Redwood City, California, United States, designed by architect William G. Merchant.  It was erected by the San Francisco Water Department to commemorate the 1934 completion of the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct and is located at the aqueduct's terminus; originally water flowed through a vault under the temple itself, but new requirements for treatment require it to be diverted to a plant nearby. The name comes from Rancho de las Pulgas, an early Spanish land grant. Pulgas is the Spanish word for "fleas", which were encountered by early Spanish explorers of the area.

Temple
The permanent water temple was completed in 1938, replacing an original made largely of plywood.
Designed by architect William Merchant and with carving by Albert Bernasconi, it consists of a circle of fluted Corinthian columns surmounted by a large masonry ring bearing the inscription "I give waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people"  [from Isaiah 43:20].  There is a reflecting pool lined with cypress trees.

San Francisco and other Bay Area communities are supplied with water from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir approximately 160 miles away via the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct. Originally, the water flowed over a small C-shaped waterfall within the Pulgas Water Temple itself and then continued for approximately 800 feet down a canal to the west into Upper Crystal Springs Reservoir.

Diversion

The well within the temple was covered with a grate to prevent thrill-seekers from jumping in and riding the water down the canal. Since 2004, water no longer flows through the temple, but instead is diverted to a nearby treatment plant where chloramine added at the Sunol treatment plant is removed before the water enters the reservoir, to avoid possible ecological damage from the additive. Water fed into the water supply is treated again with chloramine at a plant in San Bruno.

Historical Landmark 
California Historical Landmark No. 92 is located here, commemorating the camping place, somewhere in this immediate area, of the Spanish Portola expedition on November 11, 1769. Members of the expedition were the first Europeans to explore inland areas of California, and the first to see San Francisco Bay. On the previous day, while camped at San Francisquito Creek, expedition leaders made the decision to turn around and begin the return journey to San Diego. This meant first retracing their steps north to where they had crossed Sweeney Ridge from the coast.

Dunn Memorial Bridge

The Dunn Memorial Bridge, officially known as the Private Parker F. Dunn Memorial Bridge, carries US 9 and US 20 across the Hudson River between Albany, New York and Rensselaer, New York.

Description
Completed in 1969 to replace an earlier span bearing the same name, the highway bridge has a steel girder design. It is the southernmost toll-free road crossing of the Hudson. It is named for Parker F. Dunn, an Albany native who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his service in World War I.

While traveling eastbound on the Dunn Memorial Bridge towards the City of Rensselaer, there is a noticeable stub where the road ends and traffic is "forced off" the bridge onto offramps for US Routes 9 and 20. The road was originally supposed to continue on as part of the canceled South Mall Expressway to Interstate 90 at present day Exit 8.

Rensselaer's Riverfront Park is located under the eastern end of the bridge. Peregrine falcons have been observed nesting under the roadway since 1998, and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation set up a webcam to monitor them.

On July 27, 2005, the bridge was temporarily closed when a ramp leading to the Empire State Plaza split vertically, causing the roadbed to drop more than a foot. A section of the ramp, which at  tall is the uppermost one connecting to the bridge, had slipped and come to rest on a concrete supporting pier. The Department of Transportation was alerted to the situation by a call from a commuter who had driven over the gap. Two steel towers were installed to support the ramp and it was later repaired.

On March 25, 2014, a man jumped off the bridge following a police chase in connection with a shooting the previous night. The man survived and was evacuated via ambulance.

Bicycle and pedestrian access

Bicyclists and pedestrians may use the sidewalk along the north side of the bridge.

Dodge EPIC

The Dodge EPIC was a concept electric car created by Dodge. The EPIC was first shown at the 1992 North American International Auto Show. EPIC stands for Electric Power Interurban Commuter.

Engine and Design
The EPIC powertrain features nickel iron batteries that can give up to  on only one charge. The design was at the time more futuristic. Unlike any other minivan, the EPIC had the modern oval-shaped body, this style was inspiration for the design of the third generation of the Chrysler Minivans.

This vehicle has been seen in the 1994 NBC TV series Viper.

Reintroduction

Chrysler Corporation originally had plans to reintroduce the EV minivan, and introduced concepts such as the Chrysler EV and Chrysler ecoVoyager. The van would have specifications that were similar to the EPIC. Chrysler killed off the plan in 2011, and sold its Global Electric Motorcars brand to the ATV and snowmobile manufacturer Polaris shortly after.

Nerve Filter

Nerve Filter is an electronic music act from Seattle, WA (US); its sole member is Tom Shear. Nerve Filter started in 1995, and is considered a side project of Shear's Assemblage 23 although its first label appearance predated A23's.

History
According to Nerve Filter's website, experiencing writer's block after writing Assemblage 23's Wires, Shear decided:
to do some tracks in a totally different style than he was accustomed to. The result was Nerve Filter. Combining elements of techno, and the then-popular rave sound, Nerve Filter was hard-edged and dark, but also exhibited a sense of humor in spots

According to Shear, the band's sound is difficult to categorize, with influences "including techno, dub, drum n' bass, IDM, detroit electro, acid, ambient, and many others."

Kugeta, Tochigi

was a town in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. In 1954 it merged with the villages of Monobe and Naganuma to form the town of Ninomiya. It is now a part of the city of Mooka. The Mooka line runs through Kugeta, connecting it to Shimodate, Mooka, Mashiko and Motegi. On weekends and public holidays a tourist steam train operates on this line.

Kugeta lies between the other constituent parts of Ninomiya,  to the East and Naganuma to the West. No public transport currently connects the three areas.

Italian Open (golf)

The DS Automobiles Italian Open () is the men's national open golf championship of Italy. It was founded in 1925 and, except for 1933 and during World War II, was played annually until 1960. After an eleven-year hiatus, it returned in 1971 when it was one of five tournaments in Continental Europe that were included on the British PGA Order of Merit circuit. The following year of that circuit has since been recognised as the first official season of the European Tour, and the Italian Open is one of few tournaments that have featured on the schedule every year. The 2018 event was the 75th edition of the championship.

In 2017 the European Tour created the Rolex Series, a group of events with higher prize money, with the Italian Open being one of the designated events with total prize money increased to US$7 million, more than double that of the previous year. In 2020 the tournament was not part of the Rolex Series, having been rescheduled with much lower prize money due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

History
In 1935, British golfer Percy Alliss scored a 262 aggregate on his way to winning the event. He established the lowest 72-hole total ever in any golf tournament ever at the time. The legitimacy of the record was in doubt, according to Time, as the length of the San Remo course was only 5,200 yards, far below the international "championship standard." Many decades later, in 2008, South African Hennie Otto was just one stroke away from Alliss' total, still the tournament record.

Venues

In 1973 the first two rounds were played on two different courses, Acquasanta and Olgiata, everyone playing one round on each course. After the cut, Acquasanta was then used for the final two rounds.

Fused profession

Fused profession is a term relating to jurisdictions where the legal profession is not divided between barristers and solicitors. Generally, the term is used in the context of Commonwealth countries, where the single profession of barrister and solicitor is provided by statute.

In some jurisdictions (e.g., New South Wales, Queensland in Australia), there is a distinction between barristers and solicitors; legal practitioners must practise as either one or the other, and are members either of the local bar or law society. In other jurisdictions (e.g., Malaysia, Singapore, the nine common law provinces of Canada, Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia), there is no formal distinction but legal practitioners nonetheless practise as either one or the other.

The legal profession in the United States is fused; however, an individual licensed to practise law is often formally referred to as an "Attorney and Counselor at Law", a reference back to the days of the split profession, although the terms barrister and solicitor are not typically used. Nonetheless, attorneys within the United States usually must be "admitted to the bar" before being allowed to practise law in a particular jurisdiction.

England and Wales, Scotland, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Hong Kong have all retained separate professions.

Peter Cantrell

Peter Edward Cantrell (born 28 October 1962) is a former Dutch cricketer. He has represented Queensland in the Australian domestic circuit.

Domestic career
He also played 33 first class matches for Queensland and once for an Australian XI.

Cantrell is best remembered as a substitute fielder who took two catches during the Australia v England Test match at the Gabba during the 1990-91 Ashes series. In spite of the fact that Cantrell had apparently been at a nightclub until 3am that morning, one of these catches, which dismissed one of England's few batsmen in form at the time, Alec Stewart, has been described as a "blinder". England duly collapsed and lost by ten wickets in this the first Test, on their way to another heavy defeat in the series. ESPNCricinfo observes that, in an ironic partial anticipation of the Gary Pratt controversy of 2005, "Cantrell's presence was slightly controversial, given that he was probably the best gully fielder in Australia at the time and that the less sure-fingered Carl Rackemann was the official 12th man".

Two and half years later Cantrell helped to defeat "England" again, this time for a different international team, when he starred in a surprise seven-wicket win for the Netherlands over an England XI which included Darren Gough and then test players Nasser Hussain and Martin McCague, Cantrell scoring 64 and taking 2 for 40. 

This however was not in a one-day international and he had to wait another three years for his official international debut.

International career
He played all his five One Day Internationals for The Netherlands during the 1996 World Cup. He has scored 160 runs in his five ODIs with a decent average of 32.

Coaching career
He was coach of the Netherlands for the 2007 World Cup but stood down as head coach after the tournament.

The International Who's Who

The International Who's Who is a Who's Who series of reference books of notable people worldwide that has been published annually since 1935.

History
The first edition was published in 1935 by Europa Publications.

The eighth edition (1943–44) was published in 1943 at the height of the Second World War and included for the first time the names of Generals Eisenhower, Vatutin and Govorov. The publishers note in their preface that they took special pains to include details of those in the Axis countries and Adolf Hitler appeared accordingly under H in the book.

From 2000, the series has been published by Routledge, an imprint of the UK publishing group Taylor and Francis, and by 2006 it contained approximately 25,000 entries.

Scams
The Who's Who brand has been tainted by the numerous Who's Who scams, which function by attempting to convince someone that they deserve to be in the Who's Who directory, but a prepayment is required.
