Church Ball

Church Ball is a 2006 Sports comedy film about a basketball team from a ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

This family-film and comedy was filmed in and around Provo, Utah and is distributed by Halestorm Entertainment.

Plot
A local Utah LDS Church's holds the record as having the worst basketball team in the church ball league. The team has failed to make it into the church tournament in the past 20 years. Due to rumors of this being the last year of the league, former team coach, and now Bishop Linderman (Fred Willard) has called Dennis Buckstead (Andrew Wilson) to coach a team made of clumsy misfits to the championship.

Church expectations of brotherly love, sportsmanship, and fellowship fall prey to competitive fierceness in the effort to win, while Dennis works to bring unity and cooperation.

Production

The basketball games in the movie were filmed in the Salt Lake Park Stake's Stake Center.

It was also during the filming of this movie that actor Gary Coleman met his wife, Shannon Price. In an interview during an April 2009 broadcast of the Opie and Anthony radio show, Coleman described his dissatisfaction with the film's quality, remarking that watching the production process was like "giving monkeys cameras and lights".

Reception
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes surveyed  and, categorizing the reviews as positive or negative, assessed two as positive and ten as negative for a 17 percent rating. Among the reviews, it determined an average rating of 4.3 out of 10.

The Dark Island

The Dark Island is a six-part British television miniseries, produced by Gerard Glaister for the BBC. It premièred on 8 July 1962. It was later adapted for radio, which was transmitted in 1969. It was set on the Outer Hebridean island of Benbecula, though the majority of the series was filmed on South Uist.

Plot
The plot involves the discovery of a mysterious torpedo found on the shore of Benbecula. A naval team descends on the area to deal with the torpedo accompanied by Nicolson, an intrigued security officer. Further investigation of the torpedo reveals an international spy kit, the contents of which include a Finnish passport, British and Swedish currency, and most intriguing of all, a fragment of sheet music.

Nicolson is joined by fellow security operative Grant, and together they investigate the sudden appearance of the torpedo. Their investigations meet with resistance from the locals, and when their investigations lead to a murder, it becomes apparent that someone is trying to conceal something sinister. As Nicolson comes close to learning the truth, he is lured into a trap and is injured. When he comes to, he discovers that Grant has been murdered and he endeavours to find the people responsible. He eventually uncovers an elaborate espionage operation.

Theme tune 
While the show is no longer seen, the theme tune remains a favourite with Scottish musicians, mostly accordionists and pipers. The air was originally called "Dr. Mackay's Farewell to Creagorry" by its composer, Iain MacLachlan about 1958. David Silver of Glasgow wrote the most common and famous words to the theme after the TV series appeared. Another set of lyrics was written by Stewart Ross of Inverness and is also quite well known, having been recorded by Calum and Fiona Kennedy as well as Daniel O' Donnell.  Both sets of lyrics were published in 1963.

Episode status
As of 2009, no episodes of The Dark Island have survived in the BBC archives; they were most likely wiped in the 1970s.  The entire 1969 radio series, however, does still exist, and can be found at various internet sources, usually under the banner "Old Time Radio". The 1969 radio series is currently available (October 2023) via the BBC website. Further information regarding the TV series can be found on the Scotland On Air site.

No, no, no (Thalía song)

"No, No, No" is Thalía's sixth single from the re-released edition of her El Sexto Sentido album, El Sexto Sentido Re+Loaded. The song features the Latin singer Anthony "Romeo" Santos, from the Latin group Aventura. The song was written by Anthony "Romeo" Santos, and produced by Archie Peña. The song reached number four on Billboards Hot Latin Songs chart. The song was awarded "Pop Song of the Year" at the Premio Lo Nuestro 2007 awards.

Music video
The music video was shot in New York, and officially premiered on 13 July 2006. In the beginning, Thalía and her boyfriend Anthony are shown happily bowling together. While the video goes on, the two are shown singing the song. When Thalía's part comes, she is seated. Next, they are playing billiards. When the bachata part (the actual chorus) breaks, Thalía and Anthony are dancing, in what seems to be a private room. After this, Thalía walks down to the bar and while asking for a drink, she sees Anthony with another woman. Thalía gets mad and walks away, whereafter Anthony calls her, apologizing for his actions and begging her to forgive him. Thalía does not let him finish talking, and hangs up on him.

Chester La Follette

Robert Chester La Follette (March 31, 1897 in Pullman, Washington – May 24, 1993 in White Plains, New York), was an American painter. His portrait of his cousin Senator Robert M. La Follette, Sr. hangs in the Senate Reception Room of the United States Capitol. Allyn Cox supervised the placement of the painting in the United States Capitol.

Family
Chester La Follette was a member of the politically prominent La Follette family. He was the son of Congressman William La Follette and nephew of educator, industrialist Harvey Marion LaFollette. He was the  brother of Washington state attorney and legislator William Leroy LaFollette, Jr. The libertarian editor and writer Suzanne La Follette was his sister.

Early years and education
He was born in the Pacific Northwest into a pioneer family. His grandparents had crossed the Oregon Trail into the Oregon Territory in the 1840s. His father had become one of the largest fruit exporters in the state of Washington before being elected to Congress in 1910. Chester completed his early education in Pullman and continued high school in Washington DC when his family relocated there. The two LaFollette families shared a large house that the Congressman had purchased, and Chester spent his teen age years in the midst of lively discussions of the great events of the day. During this period he was introduced to the sculptor Vinnie Ream and was influenced by her passion and technique.

Career in New York
In the early 1920s Chester joined his sister, Suzanne, in New York City. He studied the violin, and continued to work on his sculpture  and painting techniques. In the mid-1920s he journeyed to Paris to continue his musical studies and to refine his painting. He spent many long hours in museums viewing the masters. When he returned to New York, he married a talented pianist from Oregon, Dorothea Anderson, and together they ran a musical studio in their Central Park West apartment for the next thirty years.]

Portrait of cousin
When Senator John F. Kennedy's Committee announced that Robert M. La Follette, Sr. had been selected one of the five great senators, Chester actively and successfully sought to win the commission for the portrait of the man he had shared so many meals with during his teenage years. His portrait was unveiled in the Senate Reception Room in 1959.

Dave and Ansell Collins

Dave and Ansel Collins are a Jamaican vocal/instrumental duo (sometimes billed as Dave and Ansil Collins or Dave and Ansell Collins).

History
Dave Barker (born David John Crooks, 10 October 1947, Kingston, Jamaica) is a session vocalist, and Ansell Collins (born 1949, also in Kingston) is a keyboard player. They were working for producer Lee "Scratch" Perry in Kingston in the late 1960s and joined forces in 1970 for the reggae single "Double Barrel". Released in late summer by Techniques Records, part of the Trojan Records label, it topped the Jamaican and UK charts in May of the following year. It was the first record that drummer Sly Dunbar (then aged 18) played on. In the US, the song appeared on an album of the same name, on Big Tree Records (BTS 2005).

The follow-up release, the similarly styled "Monkey Spanner" also enjoyed international success. Most of their recorded work was written by Winston Riley. After cutting an album, Collins and Barker parted company; Collins becoming a session player and Barker, now resident in the United Kingdom, singing with several soul groups. They attempted a comeback in 1981 without success.

In 1986, Ansel Collins appeared as one of Ernest Reed's (Jimmy Cliff) back-up musicians in the reggae-themed comedy film Club Paradise. He was billed as "Ansel (sic) 'Double Barrel' Collins". Collins has played and worked with The Upsetters, Black Uhuru, The Mighty Diamonds, Barrington Levy, Gregory Isaacs, U-Roy, Pama International and Jimmy Cliff.

"Double Barrel" was sampled by Special Ed on the song "I'm The Magnificent".  Two of Barker's introductory exclamations ("Don't watch that, watch this!" from "Funky Funky Reggae" and "This is the heavy, heavy monster sound!" from "Monkey Spanner") were quoted by vocalist Chas Smash, in the introduction to the Madness single "One Step Beyond". It was also cited as an early influence by Daniel Ash of Bauhaus, Poptone, and Love and Rockets, as well as the first record he ever purchased. 

In 2012, they reunited for several live shows including a performance at the Notting Hill Carnival.

Jaques of London

Jaques of London, formerly known as John Jaques of London and Jaques and Son of London is a long-established family company that manufactures sports and game equipment.

History 
Dating itself from 1795 when Thomas Jaques, a farmer's son of French Huguenot descent, set up as a "Manufacturer of Ivory, Hardwoods, Bone, and Tunbridge Ware", the company gained a reputation for publishing games under his grandson John Jaques the younger.

The popularity of chess during World War II helped MI9 hide items in chess games sent to British and American prisoners of war, because the chess sets were made of wood, especially the Staunton chess sets by Jaques of London. The inside walls of the chess pieces box were hollowed out "...to secrete maps, currency, documents, hacksaw blades and swinger compasses." The large chess boards were perfect for supplying to prisoners "...counterfeit documents, maps, currency and other contraband." The chess pieces themselves were hollowed out and used to hold messages, compasses, maps and dye to help turn uniforms into civilian attire. The base of the piece was often screwed in with a left turn screw, so any attempt to unscrew the base normally would only make it tighter.

The company moved its offices and showroom to Edenbridge, Kent, in 2000.

Staunton chessmen

The Staunton chess set was released in 1849 by Jaques of London of Hatton Garden in London. The pieces were designed to be easy to use and universally recognized by chess players of diverse backgrounds. It became known as the Staunton chess set after Howard Staunton (1810–1874), the chess player and writer who was generally considered the strongest player in the world from 1843–1851. Nathaniel Cooke has long been credited with the design.

Products 

 Chess – Jaques had exclusive manufacturing rights for a chess set designed by Nathaniel Cooke in 1849 and named the Staunton chess set after Howard Staunton. This set later became the official international standard.
 Reversi – the first publishers starting in 1888.
 Tiddledy-Winks – the first publishers starting in 1888.
 Snakes and Ladders –  the first publishers starting in 1888.
 Croquet – played an important role in popularising the game, producing editions of the rules in 1857, 1860, and 1864.
Clock golf – Jaques assert that they originated the game in the mid 19th century.
 Table tennis – pioneered under the names Gossima and later Ping Pong.
 Happy Families – popular card game, developed in 1851.
 Ludo – patented in England 1897.
 Shove ha'penny – is a pub game in the shuffleboard family, played predominantly in the United Kingdom.

Periodic point

In mathematics, in the study of iterated functions and dynamical systems, a periodic point of a function is a point which the system returns to after a certain number of function iterations or a certain amount of time.

Iterated functions 
Given a mapping  from a set  into itself,

a point  in  is called periodic point if there exists an >0 so that

where  is the th iterate of . The smallest positive integer  satisfying the above is called the prime period or least period of the point . If every point in  is a periodic point with the same period , then  is called periodic with period  (this is not to be confused with the notion of a periodic function).

If there exist distinct  and  such that

then  is called a preperiodic point. All periodic points are preperiodic.

If  is a diffeomorphism of a differentiable manifold, so that the derivative  is defined, then one says that a periodic point is hyperbolic if

that it is attractive if

and it is repelling if

If the dimension of the stable manifold of a periodic point or fixed point is zero, the point is called a source; if the dimension of its unstable manifold is zero, it is called a sink; and if both the stable and unstable manifold have nonzero dimension, it is called a saddle or saddle point.

Examples 
A period-one point is called a fixed point.

The logistic map 

exhibits periodicity for various values of the parameter . For  between 0 and 1, 0 is the sole periodic point, with period 1 (giving the sequence  which attracts all orbits). For  between 1 and 3, the value 0 is still periodic but is not attracting, while the value  is an attracting periodic point of period 1. With  greater than 3 but less than  there are a pair of period-2 points which together form an attracting sequence, as well as the non-attracting period-1 points 0 and  As the value of parameter  rises toward 4, there arise groups of periodic points with any positive integer for the period; for some values of  one of these repeating sequences is attracting while for others none of them are (with almost all orbits being chaotic).

Dynamical system 
Given a real global dynamical system  with  the phase space and  the evolution function,

a point  in  is called periodic with period  if

The smallest positive  with this property is called prime period of the point .

Properties 
 Given a periodic point  with period , then  for all  in 
 Given a periodic point  then all points on the orbit  through  are periodic with the same prime period.

Angri

Angri is a town and comune in the province of Salerno, Campania, southern Italy. It is around  northwest of the town of Salerno.

History
The Byzantine general Narses defeated Teias, the last king of the Goths, nearby in AD 553.

In the 19th century, the city had a population of around 10,000 and its hinterland produced large quantities of grapes, tobacco, and cotton.

Angri was the native town of Gabriele Capone and Teresina Raiola, who emigrated to the United States and gave birth to Al Capone, a prominent gangster.

Angri is a part of the Agro Nocerino Sarnese, near the Vesuvian area, and togheder Scafati is the extreme part of the Salerno Province. The communal territory is at the base of the Lattari's mountains in the heart of the Sarno's valley, the most fertile areas of Italy.

Climate
The climate is temperate, given the proximity of the sea. Summer is often hot with daytime temperatures in the low to mid 30s Celsius. Heavy downpours are common in winter, often accompanied by moderate winds. Frosts and snow are rare.

Main sights

Sights in the city include the Castle and Doria's palace, the town park (the garden of the palace).

The churches are: the Collegiate Church of St. John the Baptist, the brotherhood of Santa Margherita, the church of Santa Maria of Constantinople, the former Grange of the Certosa di San Giacomo di Capri Pizzauto, the church of Santissima Annunziata with the museum of the Blessed can .

Muhr

Muhr is a municipality of the Tamsweg District in the Austrian state of Salzburg.

Geography

It is located in a southwestern valley of the Salzburg Lungau region at the source of the river Mur River, between the Hohe Tauern and the Niedere Tauern ranges of the Central Eastern Alps. The mountains of the Ankogel Group in the south separate it from the state of Carinthia.

The municipal area comprises the Katastralgemeinden of Vordermuhr, Hintermuhr, and Schellgaden. In the west it adjoins the Hohe Tauern national park.

History
Like the eponymous river, its name may derive from Proto-Celtic mori, 'water' (compare Welsh môr or English mere). The Lungau region belonged to the Prince-Archbishopric of Salzburg until its secularisation in 1803. The settlement was first mentioned about 1470, the St. Rupert Church in a 1523 deed. Muhr once was a mining area for gold and arsenic.

A local custom is the annual procession with Prangstangen, up to 8 m (26 ft) high wooden poles which are decorated with flowers and carried by local bachelors on the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, June 29 into the church. Muhr is also known for its Samson parades.

In some countries there is a tribe called Muhur, with other spelling variations like Muhr, Mohor, Mouhur. So the name of the place could have other origins.

Politics
Seats in the municipal council (Gemeinderat) as of 2009 elections:
 Austrian People's Party (ÖVP): 4
 Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ): 4
 Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ): 1

Doctor of Practical Theology

The Doctor of Practical Theology (DPT, DPTh) is a professional doctorate developed for those  seeking to apply theological principles to their professional practice.  It should not be confused with a Doctor of Philosophy in Practical Theology such as offered by Princeton Theological Seminary.

Overview
The typical degree candidate is a part-time student who continues full-time professional responsibilities.  The modern development of this program in the United Kingdom (DPT) has been greatly influenced by educators and other professionals affiliated with the Association of Practical Theology (APT, established 1984).

The Doctor of Practical Theology is typically a multidisciplinary program designed for consideration, reflection, examination and application of theological principles appropriate to practice-based settings.  Further, it serves as a foundation for an original project contributing to solutions and development of the student's organization and/or profession.

The Doctor of Practical Theology customarily integrates theological concepts into the context of professional practice.  Most programs customarily include:

Practice-based research and enquiry-based learning methods, in which the student's own professional context becomes a primary resource in research, and 
Courses consisting of assignments, reading, and research designed to strengthen writing and critical thinking skills while integrating theological principles and concepts with the context of the student's professional practice.

The Doctor of Practical Theology is applicable to:

Public sector professions, such as health care, education, social services,
Caring professions, such as psychotherapy, pastoral care and counseling, alternative dispute resolution (ADR), mediation, social work and community development,
Church ministers in parish, congregational or chaplaincy settings
Non-profit professions, such as charities, non-governmental organizations, cultural organizations, or the arts,
Business and industry professionals with an interest in the subject

The Doctor of Practical Theology (DPTh) is rarely offered today in United States. Most seminary and divinity schools there have replaced their degree studies in practical theology to majors within programs leading to the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Doctor of Arts (DA). The specialized program is still offered in France (DThP), and more recently, the United Kingdom (DPT), and in Canada where McMaster Divinity College offers a Doctor of Practical Theology (DPT).

Examples of schools offering the degree are: 
 University of Glasgow, School of Critical Studies
 McMaster Divinity College

He also served as Chairman of the Board of Social Security, in which role he was instrumental in carrying forward the National Insurance Reciprocal Agreement, also on the Airports Board, and the Tourist Board.  He was also for some time, Chairman of the Isle of Man Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association.

Nivison was a man well recognised in the community, as well as in Tynwald, and he was greatly
involved in many aspects of Island life, being the chairman of many a country eisteddfod, an Onchan Commissioner and Captain of the Parish of Onchan.  The Onchan Stadium was renamed Nivsion Stadium in his honour in July 2004 with members of his family in attendance.

He was a founder member of the Onchan Silver Band and despite having put down his trombone early on, maintained very strong links with the band, latterly as its president, until his death.  In 2004, the band created the "Jack Nivision Memorial Shield" awarded annually to a member of the band for their dedication and enthusiasm over the previous year.

Beinwil Abbey

Beinwil Abbey (Kloster Beinwil) was a Benedictine monastery in Beinwil in the Canton of Solothurn in Switzerland.

History

It was founded around 1100, probably by the local nobility and was first mentioned in 1147. After conflicts arising from the territorial claims of the towns of Solothurn and Basel against the Counts of Thierstein, who acted as the abbey's  Vögte (lords protectors), it was burnt down in 1445. After Beinwil had been taken over by Solothurn in 1519, the town authorities impounded much of the abbey's possessions.

By the 16th century only a few monks were left in the abbey, and it was formally dissolved in 1554. A small community remained, the care of which was assumed firstly by Einsiedeln Abbey, in 1589, and then, from 1622, by Rheinau Abbey. As no monastic revival could be achieved in the remoteness of its situation, it was decided to re-settle the community at Mariastein Abbey, a new foundation in a pilgrimage centre, which took place in 1648. In anticipation of this, Mariastein became a member of the Swiss Congregation, now part of the Benedictine Confederation. From Mariastein, at the end of the 18th century, it was at length possible to revive Beinwil, and at that time the church and the monastic premises were rebuilt.

The abbey was however suppressed in 1874 by plebiscite during the Kulturkampf, and the community of Mariastein went into exile.

Present day
The abbey church, dedicated to Saint Vincent of Saragossa was destroyed by fire in 1978. It has now been comprehensively restored and a high altar has been installed, dated about 1700, from Bellwald. Until 2019, the former abbey was used as a ecumenical conference and retreat centre. In January 2019 it became an orthodox monastery with both monks and nuns. The local catholic parish continues to use the abbey church, with the monastery using the crypt. About 12 rooms are available for visitors to rent.

Cenél Loairn

The Cenél Loairn, the descendants of Loarn mac Eirc, controlled parts of northern Argyll around the Firth of Lorne, most probably centred in Lorne but perhaps including the islands of Mull and Colonsay, Morvern and Ardnamurchan. The boundary to the east was the Druim Alban mountain ridge that separated Dál Riata from Pictland. The chief places of the kingdom appear to have been at Dun Ollaigh, near Oban and Dunadd near Crinan. The chief religious site may have been on Lismore, later the seat of the High Medieval bishop of Argyll.

Descendants of Loarn
Several kings of Dál Riata were members of the Cenél Loairn, and thus claimed descent from Loarn : 
Ferchar Fota
Ainbcellach mac Ferchair
Selbach mac Ferchair
Dúngal mac Selbaig
Muiredach mac Ainbcellaig

In High Medieval times the Mormaers of Moray claimed descent from Loarn:
Findláech mac Ruaidrí
Máel Coluim mac Máil Brigti
Gille Coemgáin mac Máil Brigti
Mac Bethad mac Findláich (also king of Alba)
Lulach mac Gille Coemgáin (also king of Alba)
Máel Snechtai mac Lulaich

Geraldine's Fortune

Geraldine's Fortune is a 2004 Canadian comedy-drama film. It was directed by John N. Smith, written by Tim Burns and based on the play Les Belles-sœurs by Michel Tremblay.

Plot
Geraldine Liddle (Curtin) is a small town woman from New Brunswick who gains local fame as she is about to appear on a gameshow called Bring Home the Bacon (a show with a pig theme similar to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?) with a top prize of $2 million dollars. As friends and family gather to watch Geraldine on television, family secrets come to surface and a physical fight occurs, bringing all the family and friends outdoors. As the fight is happening, Geraldine calls them for help with a question during the gameshow. After the question is asked, the scene turns back to the home where the fight is happening outdoors and where only Geraldine's elderly mother, who has less than her full faculties, is left alone, inside near the phone. The telephone rings and rings and rings, until finally she answers. Geraldine, realizing the senility of the woman, doesn't know whether to trust her answer. Geraldine and her husband return to announce whether she answered the question correctly or not, only to discover long buried family truths have come to light.

Wil Huygen

Willibrord Joseph Huygen (23 June 1922  – 14 January 2009) was a Dutch book author. He is best known for the picture books on gnomes, illustrated by Rien Poortvliet.

Huygen was born in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. The seventh of ten children, his primary occupation was that of a physician. He was married and had five children.

The first book in his picture book series is Gnomes (published in 1977, and originally known as Leven en werken van de Kabouter in Dutch). It was on top of the bestseller list of the New York Times for over a year (as a book on folklore, it was categorized as non-fiction). In the second book (De oproep der Kabouters) both Huygen and Poortvliet make appearances themselves in both the story and the illustrations as they get contacted by the gnomes because of the Gnomes book they have written together. Huygen died on 14 January 2009 in Bilthoven. He was 86 years old.

Little Switzerland (Luxembourg)

Little Switzerland (, , ) is a nickname for a region in the east of Luxembourg, bestowed upon the region on account of its reputed geographical similarities to Switzerland. It is roughly contiguous with the canton of Echternach.  It is also known as the Mullerthal (Luxembourgish: , German: ) after the town of Mullerthal.

Little Switzerland is thought to have similar terrain to its namesake country, hence the name; it is dominated by craggy terrain, thick forests, some caves and myriad small streams. Unlike Switzerland, Little Switzerland is low-lying, even by Luxembourg standards (its highest peak is only 414 m above sea level).

Little Switzerland is the smallest of Luxembourg's sub-regions. Within its territory, covering only 7% of Luxembourg, there is only one medium-sized settlement, Echternach (which is Luxembourg's oldest surviving city). Smaller towns include Beaufort, Berdorf and Consdorf.

Feel Good Time

"Feel Good Time" is a song by American singer Pink featuring William Orbit. It was released on May 27, 2003, as the lead single from the soundtrack of the 2003 film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. It was later included on the international edition of her third studio album Try This. The single peaked at number 60 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number three on the UK Singles Chart, and has been certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association.

The song was originally written by and recorded by Beck and William Orbit with the intention of being a Beck track, but after Pink wanted to cover the song, Beck gave the song to her. Beck's vocals and a guitar were removed and replaced with Pink's vocals. Beck's original was later posted on Orbit's website. "Feel Good Time" uses audio samples from "Fresh-Garbage" by Spirit.

"Feel Good Time" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. Nancy and the Boys covered the song on the 2003 happy hardcore compilation album Speed SFX.

Critical response
Stylus Magazine wrote a favorable review: "And then, there's the brilliance of 'Feel Good Time' – depending on whom you believe, either stolen from or written for by Beck – ostensibly/unofficially the first single from Try This. This 'association' with Beck serves as something of a touchstone for the album; forget for a moment the white-male-pain and subdued arrangements of Mutations and Sea Change and remember instead the schizoid pastiche spectaculars of Midnite Vultures. What the album occasionally lacks in coherence or narrative it more than makes up for in moments of pop brilliance, the kind of eccentric pop magic that's not been seen since the glory days of Cyndi Lauper (I'm sure it's no accident that P!nk looks alarmingly like The Unusual One in the liner photos)".
