Innovaders

Credited with helping to revive New York's acid house music scene, the Innovaders stepped away from current trends in IDM and created a new sound that puts emphasis on gritty acid, melodies, and song structure. While many artists were trying to dissect and copy the latest Autechre or Schematic Records sound, the duo looked to electronic dance music pioneers such as Derrick May and Adonis for inspiration. Using live performances as a testing ground, the Innovaders pounded out a new style of acid in the backrooms of many underground dance clubs.

Releases

Innovaders: EP 
Their first major hit was "Feetlegshead," which features a young ballet student explaining the importance of every movement while dancing. This track was used in The March 2003 issue of Metropolis Magazine's online article about the Guggenheim Museum. 
Metropolis Magazine Article: Scores for Stores

Make Some Acid 
Their second ep,  maintained a similar style but with a harder, grittier acid edge. All tracks on this ep are variations of the title track:

1. Make Some Acid

2. Take Some Acid

3. Break Some Acid

4. Fake Some Acid

Limited to only 200 copies, this release is extremely hard to find. The last track, "Fake Some Acid," alludes to the production style of the duo. Commonly, acid house is created using a Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer but the Innovaders are known to program software and process a raw square waveform to create their signature sound, thus "faking" acid.

Acid Reign 

Their latest release on Metal Postcard Records, A collection of chicago trax records influenced acid workouts and pop melodies. Dance floor standouts include "You'll Never Get Out of This Club Alive" and "We Get Open." Not included on this release is their much sought-after cover of Morrissey's "Everyday Is Like Sunday." It is rumored that this track will be available sometime in the future but is almost always in their live sets.

Live performances 
Known for their dynamic live sets, the Innovaders deliver a room shaking assault on all frequencies. From beginning to end their performances are littered with bursts of acid bass and a rush of beats. Unlike many artists in the IDM genre, the Innovaders will not give you the chance to gaze at your shoes while they noodle away on their gear. Always a crowd pleaser, the Innovaders have performed at many of New York's hottest clubs.

William J. Coughlin

William Jeremiah Coughlin (1929 - 1992) is the popular author behind such novels as The Twelve Apostles, Her Father's Daughter, Her Honor, In The Presence Of Enemies, and Shadow of a Doubt (1991). He also wrote Cain's Chinese Adventure and The Mark of Cain under the pseudonym Sean A. Key.''

Coughlin combined a career as a United States administrative judge in Detroit with that of a best selling novelist. It is often thought that his experience as a judge may have been some inspiration for his law- and courtroom-themed thrillers.

Light Lunch

Light Lunch (later Late Lunch) is a Channel 4 lunch-time comedy chatshow broadcast on weekdays at 12:30pm between 24 March 1997 and 27 February 1998, which was moved to weeknights at 6:00pm between 31 March 1998 and 5 March 1999. It was hosted by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, also known as Mel and Sue, who started their comedy careers at Cambridge University's Footlights club. The show was a huge success initially, but audience figures declined slowly.

Format

The show was structured around the making and eating of a luncheon. The main part of the meal would be prepared by a guest chef, with either Mel or Sue talking to the chef during the demonstration. Once the meal was ready, it was eaten by Mel, Sue and two celebrity guests, during which an interview would take place. In the final part of the programme, a third celebrity guest brought in dessert, and a further period of interviewing would occur on the sofa, which would include phone-in questions from viewers. The studio audience were also expected to bring in their own lunch to eat during the show, and were each given £3 to cover the cost of this. They were encouraged to bring in unusual food, their own creations, or food in some way relating to that day's celebrity guest, and the most creative ideas would be shown on camera.

Late Lunch
As a result of declining viewing figures and because of a general change in viewer demographics in the UK, Light Lunch was moved to a 6:00pm time slot in March 1998 and rebranded as Late Lunch. It ran in that slot for nearly a year before being cancelled in 1999.

Band
The show's house band (introduced individually as "Steve, Matt, Dylan and Dan" and collectively by numerous different names, mostly food puns) included Dylan Howe on drums.

Plastech Engineered Products

Plastech Engineered Products was a tier-1 automobile supplier headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan. It was long the largest woman-owned company in the state of Michigan. 
Plastech started in 1988 with the purchase of a single injection molding facility in Caro, Michigan. The company subsequently grew rapidly through a mixture of organic growth and acquisitions, the most notable of the latter being the purchase of United Screw and Bolt in 1997 and LDM Technologies in 2004. In 2007 Plastech took over four plants and sales of US$700 million from Johnson Controls, bringing annual sales to US$1.7 billion.  Plastech's customers included General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Chrysler, and Johnson Controls.

Following a disagreement with Chrysler, Plastech Engineered Products filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on February 1, 2008. Douglas Doran, Chrysler's director of interior procurement, said Plastech's quality issues were far worse than the typical supplier. He stated that those quality issues, coupled with Plastech's continued financial needs, led Chrysler to cancel its contracts. The firm was having trouble paying suppliers and had violated agreements with its lenders. General Motors, Ford, and Johnson Controls all publicly supported Chrysler's position against Plastech. The firm was later liquidated, with major assets being sold to Johnson Controls. Both Chrysler and General Motors would themselves file for bankruptcy in 2009, thereafter receiving large government-backed loans that were later completely paid back in full.

In 2014 JCI spun off its automotive interiors business, and several former Plastech locations are now operated by Yanfeng Automotive Interiors.

Plastech Engineered Products is the namesake of Brown University's Plastech Professor of Computer Science, an endowed professorship currently held by Roberto Tamassia.

Private investment company Oak Point Partners acquired the remnant assets, consisting of any known and unknown assets that weren't previously administered, from the Liquidating Trust for the Plastech Engineered Products, Inc., et al., Bankruptcy Estates on October 19, 2017.

Peter Reynolds (swimmer)

Peter Askin Reynolds (2 January 1948 – 1 May 2012) was a male Australian freestyle and medley swimmer of the 1960s.

Swimming career
Reynolds won a bronze medal in the 4×100-metre medley relay at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Although he set multiple world records, Reynolds peaked between Olympics and was unable to capture an individual medal at Olympic level.

Making his international debut at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, Reynolds reached the final of the 200-metre backstroke, where he finished last to American Jed Graef, who won in a world record time.  He combined with Ian O'Brien, Kevin Berry and David Dickson to claim bronze in the 4×100-metre medley relay, behind the United States and German.

At the 1966 Commonwealth Games in Kingston, Jamaica, Reynolds was one of the dominant swimmers, winning four gold medals, three of them individually. He collected gold in the 110-yard and 220-yard backstroke and the 400-yard individual medley, beating Canadian Ralph Hutton, setting world records in the latter two events.

Reynolds then combined with Dickson, Michael Wenden and Bob Windle to set a world record in the 4×220-yard freestyle relay. Another gold in the 4×110-yard medley relay was lost after Reynolds, O'Brien, Wenden and Graham Dunn were disqualified after a careless early changeover; they had touched the wall far in front of the rest of the field.

This was Reynolds' final appearance on the international scene. Although he increased his tally of Australian Championships to 14 the following year, he failed to gain selection for the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. Despite being of Australian nationality he won the ASA National British Championships over the 220 yards backstroke and the 220 yards medley in 1967.

Argonide

Argonide Corporation is a Florida nanotechnology company. The company was formed in 1994 by American Fred Tepper, partly to provide employment for former Russian (government) scientists. Argonide began offering nanometal powders made by the exploding wire method (EWM) in 1997.

Their main product, NanoCeram, uses aluminum oxide nanofibers for water filtration. The filter uses nanofibers originally developed at the Design Technology Center (DTC) in Tomsk, Russia. NanoCeram can be incorporated into glass and cellulose non-woven sheets, is an extremely effective filtration medium. The aluminum oxide fibers, which are only 2 nanometers wide, attract dirt, bacteria, viruses, and proteins using an electrostatic effect. NanoCeram can match the particle removal effectiveness of ultrafiltration, and it allows orders-of-magnitude higher flow rates at a given pressure difference or pressure drop.

Argonide has been awarded a NASA Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to filter water aboard the Space Shuttles. In 2002 it won an R&D 100 Award, given annually to the top 100 most technologically significant new products by R&D Magazine.

William Herald

William Sharp Hannah Herald (28 April 1900 – 13 February 1976) was an Australian freestyle swimmer of the 1910s and early 1920s, who won a silver medal in the 4×200-metre freestyle relay at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium. He also competed in the 100-metre and 400-metre freestyle events.

Herald combined with Frank Beaurepaire, Henry Hay and Ivan Stedman to claim the silver medal in the 4×200-metre freestyle relay. The United States team, led by Duke Kahanamoku, won the gold, routing the Australians by 21 seconds. Due to the financial difficulties following the First World War, the swimming events were held in an open canal, without lane markings. Herald reached the final of the 100-metre freestyle, coming fifth, but claimed that fourth-placed American Norman Ross had fouled him during the race. Olympic officials ordered a re-race, and the placings were identical, except for Ross, who had won the 400-metre and 1500-metre events in the meantime and not bothered to enter the re-race. Herald fared worse in the 400-metre, failing to qualify for the final.

Harry Hay (swimmer)

Harry Maitland Hay (5 February 1893 – 30 March 1952) was an Australian freestyle swimmer of the 1920s who won a silver medal in the 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp. He later enjoyed success as a swimming coach, guiding Boy Charlton to Olympic gold.

Coming from the Manly Swimming Club based at Sid Eve's Baths, Hay combined with Frank Beaurepaire, William Herald and Ivan Stedman to claim the silver medal in the 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay at the 1920 Summer Olympics. The United States relay team, led by Duke Kahanamoku, routed the Australians by 21 seconds, in the heats four days earlier the US team had only beaten them by three seconds. Hay also competed in the 100 metre freestyle where he reached the semifinals and the 400 metre freestyle but did not get past the first round.

Hay only once managed to win an Australian Championship, the 110yd title in 1922.

Hay later became a professional coach in Sydney, and was seconded by Australian team managers at the Summer Olympics from 1924 to 1948. As it was deemed to be against the spirit of the Games to include coaches, Hay was officially given the title of team masseur. Les Duff, the manager of the Australian 1928 Summer Olympics team, paid Hay A$10 a week to train Charlton and backstroker Tom Boast.

Hay had arranged to travel to the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki to look after the Australian swimmers, but suffered a fatal heart attack just a month before leaving.

The American relay team, led by Johnny Weissmuller, bested the Australians by almost 7 seconds to set a new world record.

He attended Sydney Boys High School, graduating in 1923.

In 1994, Kennedy attended the NSW State Open Short-Course Championships in Sydney. She set a record in every 50m and 100m event in the program, achieving 11 records in total.

Kennedy broke the world record in the 100m butterfly at the World Short-Course Swimming Championships in 1995, however was beaten in the event by fellow Australian Susie O'Neill (who took silver), and Liu Limin of China (who won gold).

She swam for most of her career at the Telopea Swimming Club in Canberra, Australia under the direction of former Australian butterfly coach Peter Freney.

Helian Chang's empress

Very little is known about Helian Chang's empress, the wife of Helian Chang.

When the Xia capital Tongwan (統萬, in modern Yulin, Shaanxi) fell to Northern Wei forces in 427, she was captured, along with her mother-in-law, even though her husband fled to Shanggui (上邽, in modern Tianshui, Gansu).  Nothing is known about her fate after she was captured.  After Helian Chang was captured by Northern Wei in 428, Emperor Taiwu of Northern Wei married one of his sisters, the Princess Shipping, to him.  The succession table below assumes that she was created empress when Helian Chang became emperor in 425, although that is obviously speculation.

David Zirnhelt

David Zirnhelt (born 1947) is a Canadian politician, businessman and rancher from British Columbia. A member of the British Columbia New Democratic Party, he was a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Cariboo and Cariboo South from 1989 to 2001.

Early life and career 
Zirnhelt was born in Williams Lake, British Columbia, located in the Cariboo region of the province's central interior. He obtained undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of British Columbia in political science and public administration, returning to the Williams Lake area, where he became a cattle rancher and a practitioner of horse logging.  He was also active as a consultant in various federal, provincial and First Nations projects related to public policy and economic development.

After graduating from university, Zirnhelt worked as a civil servant in the government of Pierre Trudeau as a member of the cabinet secretariat, and later became the British Columbia head of Opportunities for Youth.

Politics 
Zirnhelt's first entry into politics was in the 1969 British Columbia general election, where he stood as a candidate for the Liberal Party in the riding of Cariboo. He was unsuccessful in his run, placing third against victor Alex Fraser. Fraser's widow later recalled that despite his resounding victory, Fraser was impressed with Zirnhelt and that "if he was older [he] might have given him some trouble."

He was a director of the Cariboo Regional District from 1974 to 1977. In 1987, he was elected as a trustee of the Cariboo-Chilcotin School District. In 1989, following the death of Alex Fraser, Zirnhelt stood in the resulting by-election for Cariboo, this time as a member of the social democratic New Democratic Party. In a shock upset, Zirnhelt won the election; the riding had, until then, been a stronghold of the conservative British Columbia Social Credit Party for 37-years. Zirnhelt went on to be re-elected in 1991 and 1996 in the riding of Cariboo South (the old Cariboo riding was abolished with the 1991 election).

With the election of a New Democratic government in 1991, Premier Mike Harcourt appointed Zirnhelt minister of economic development, small business and trade. He was later minister of agriculture, fisheries and food. Following Harcourt's resignation, Premier Glen Clark appointed Zirnhelt minister of forests — a powerful portfolio in a province where forestry is a major economic sector. In that position, Zirnhelt initiated an intensive review of the province's forest practices, as concerns mounted over the logging of old growth forests and the insufficient restocking of logged areas by timber companies.

Zirnhelt failed in his attempt at re-election in 2001.
