The Vegemite Tales

The Vegemite Tales is a comedy theatrical production written by Australian playwright Melanie Tait. The play revolves around the lives of a group of young antipodeans sharing a flat in Hammersmith, west London. It has been described as an Australian stage version of Friends. The name is taken from the iconic Australian food paste, Vegemite.

Background 
The Vegemite Tales was first staged at The Curtain's Up, a small fringe theatre in west London in 2001. It was an overnight sell-out, finding enormous popularity with London's Australian, New Zealand and South African communities.

Contemporary themes include living in a shared house, living in a city far away from home, dealing with different cultures and making the difficult decision to stop putting real life on hold and move back home. It has been reviewed as relying on cliches about living in London.

Cast 

The 2006 season featured Blair McDonough (ex Neighbours and Australian Big Brother). Other cast members have included Jonathon Dutton, Sarah Hadland, Josephine Taylor, Patrick Harvey, Craig Rasmus, Tim Cove, Maxine Morrison, Priscilla Jackman, Dimity Harris, Christa Nicola, Spencer McLaren, Billy Gentle, Felicity Jurd, Justin Segal, Louis Sanchez, and Craig Giovanelli.

Production 
It has run at the Old Red Lion and the Courtyard. In 2005 the show had a 12-week sell-out season at the Riverside Studios, a London arts venue well known for its international theatre programme.

In 2006 the production made its successful West End debut at The Venue (now The Leicester Square Theatre).

In 2007 the production had its second West End season at The Venue from 26 July to 27 October.

The production has been directed by Melanie Tait (2001-2003) and Bill Buckhurst (2004-2007). It has been produced by Andrew Robb (also the actor for the character of Sam).

Over 60,000 people have seen The Vegemite Tales since it was first staged.

Ford Lio Ho Motor

Ford Lio Ho Motor () is a Taiwanese-based automaker and the primary dealer of Ford vehicles in Taiwan, formed in 1972. It is 70 percent owned by Ford Motor Company. The remaining 30 per cent is owned by investors in the former Lio Ho Automotive Industrial Corporation, which previously assembled Toyota vehicles.

History 
The company began operations in 1973, assembling Ford models like the Cortina, Escort, and Granada. In 1974 assembly of the Philippine-made Ford Fiera AUV began, although sales were slow as it was more expensive than its more comfortable Japanese competitors. In the 1980s, it began assembly of Mazda-based models, such as the Laser (Mazda 323), Telstar (Mazda 626) and Festiva (Mazda 121).

The Taiwan-built Laser hatchback was exported to Canada in the late 1980s, badged as the Mercury Tracer.

Former Ford models unique to Taiwan include the "Ford Tierra", based on the Mazda 323 sedan, later rebadged as the facelifted Ford Laser in other Asian markets, the "Ford Activa", a rebadged Mazda 323 sedan and hatchback, and the "Ford Mondeo Metrostar" which later also sold in China, based on the European Mondeo sedan.

Taiwan-market Ford and Mazda vehicles include locally assembled Ford Mondeo, Ford Focus, Ford Fiesta, Ford Escape, Mazda3, Mazda5, and Mazda Tribute. Also, all 2007 model year Asia/Pacific (except Chinese and South Korean markets) Ford Escapes are assembled by Ford Lio Ho. The Taiwan-assembled Mondeo is also exported to China and Saudi Arabia. After the ban on diesel-engined passenger cars was lifted in Taiwan in 2004, Ford Lio Ho became the first local manufacturer to build a diesel car. This was a diesel Focus, introduced in August 2007.

Before Ford divested Jaguar and Land Rover in 2008, and significantly reduced share-holding of Mazda in 2010, the Taiwanese units of these brands were organised under Ford Lio Ho.

Design Technology Centre 

Ford Lio Ho Design Technology Centre or Ford Design & Research Centre was built and established by the end of 2002 in Taipei. The Design Technology Centre was in charge of products sold mainly within the Asian Pacific markets including Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, Middle East, Saudi Arabia, Japan, China, and Russia.

Noticeable products include the 2005 Ford Equator Concept which later spawned the Asian Pacific Ford Escape (ZC), Ford Tierra, Ford Ixion, Ford Mondeo M2000 facelift, Ford Mondeo Metrostar, Ford Escape ZC extensive facelift, Ford Explorer and Ford i-Max. With the i-Max being one of the latest products designed by Lio Ho, the Design Technology Centre was shut down due to the one Ford strategy.

Taskon

Taskon was a Norwegian IT enterprise which developed systems using object-oriented technology. The company also provided advisory and consultancy services, products, and training within the field of object-oriented systems' development. Formed in 1986 by Trygve Reenskaug, Taskon's expertise was in the area of analysis, design, and implementation of component-based systems.

As one of the UML Partners, Taskon helped with the standardization of the Unified Modeling Language (UML).

The company's flagship product was OOram, a software package for the analysis and design of Object-Oriented systems, with support for the role-modeling concept. In addition to providing support for the modeling of complex systems in a highly productive way — encouraging systematic use of object patterns, the product conformed to the UML standard the company helped develop.

Numerica-Taskon
Numerica was another IT company founded in 1986 by four Norwegian Institute of Technology students, including Gunnar Nordseth and Tor Ivar Byrkjeland. The company's expertise included the development of Microsoft Windows software applications, as well as UML modeling. It was one of the few preferred partners of Rational Rose in Norway.

Numerica encountered Taskon during a project for Gjensidige NOR, a Norwegian bank. The companies discovered the complementary nature of their technologies, and shortly afterward, they formed Numerica-Taskon (1999). The following were among the clientele of the new entity:
ABB Group
Veritas
Ericsson
Gjensidige
Norges Bank
Norsk Hydro
Postens Godssenter
Securitas
Tandberg Television
Telenor
Thomson Financial
Toyota

In 2000, a Swedish company named OptoSof AB acquired Numerica-Taskon, WinHlp (1993), Mogul Media (1994) and Grape (1997). The result of this merger was Mogul.

CocoCay

CocoCay or Little Stirrup Cay is one of the Berry Islands, a collection of Bahamian cays and small islands located approximately 55 miles north of Nassau. It is used for tourism by Royal Caribbean Group exclusively.  Little Stirrup Cay is adjacent to Great Stirrup Cay, Norwegian Cruises' private island since 1977.

Geography 
The island is less than a mile (1.57 kilometer) long from east to west and less than 480 yards (0.43 kilometer) from north to south. It has a population of 38 (2010 census).

Tourism
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., which owns Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises, assumed the lease of the island upon acquisition of Admiral Cruises in 1988. In 2019, the island was extensively renovated by Royal Caribbean at the cost of $250 million and renamed Perfect Day at CocoCay. Upon being announced in 2018, the renovation plans were criticised by activists, who raised concerns about harm to the environment and "natural beauty", drawing Disneyland comparisons, and to small local businesses.

A pier was constructed on the north side of the island, which allows cruise ships to dock directly instead of using tenders. A waterpark was constructed on the "thrill" side of the island, with two towers containing waterslides, including North America's tallest Daredevil's Peak, and two pools. On the "chill" side is the beach with cabanas.

The east end is the centre of recreational activities with beaches fronting a coral basin where manatees, rays, and numerous fish can be seen. Nature trails run the entire length and width of the island. The renovation also included a water park, with North America's largest and tallest water slide, Daredevil's Peak.

Frank Musker

Frank John Musker (born 1951) is a British songwriter and composer. Most prolific in the 1980s and 1990s, he worked with artists such as Sheena Easton, the Babys, Robert Miles, Jennifer Rush, Bucks Fizz, Air Supply, Lucio Battisti, Zucchero, Lisa Stansfield and Brian May (for the Queen song "Too Much Love Will Kill You"). His collaboration with May was awarded Best Song Musically and Lyrically at the 1997 Ivor Novello Awards.

One of Musker's earlier successes was the 1977 North American hit "Heaven on the 7th Floor", written with co-writer Dominic Bugatti. It became a hit for Paul Nicholas and The Mighty Pope. Musker and Bugatti then collaborated with John Waite, frontman for the Babys at the time, to compose "Back on My Feet Again", which would become the Babys' last top 40 hit, peaking at No. 33 in 1980. Two years later, Musker and Bugatti recorded their duo album on Atlantic Records, entitled The Dukes. The album was produced by Arif Mardin and recorded and mixed by Gary Skardina at the Music Grinder Studios (Hollywood, California), Chelsea Sound and Atlantic Studios (New York), Maison Rouge, and Odyssey Studios (London).

In 1984, Musker, as a solo artist, recorded the song "Steely Man", which was featured in the comedy film Grandview, U.S.A. and also released as a single.

In 1998, Musker was a director at the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.

History

Rock (1995-2009) 
Originally launched in 1995 by fledgling Belz Broadcasting under the "Solid Rock 92.9 MFS!" slogan, WMFS was acquired by Infinity Broadcasting and rebranded "93X" in 2001. The station was purchased by Entercom Communications in 2006.

The first song played on WMFS when the station debuted was "Rock You Like a Hurricane" by the Scorpions.

WMFS was Memphis' home to Howard Stern prior to his departure from terrestrial radio.

WMFS was one of six radio properties in the Memphis market held by Entercom; the others were WMC-FM, WRVR-FM, WMFS, WLFP, and WMC.  Entercom purchased WMC, WMC-FM and WMFS in 2006.

The previous studio was located in the WMC-TV building on Union Avenue with Rover's Morning Glory mornings, Sydney in middays, Crate doing afternoons and Beck at night. Former jocks include Shay, Azi, Ditch, Twitch and Killabrew.

The original on-air line-up in 1995 consisted of Dave Robins in the mornings, Jim Fox middays, Zak in the afternoon drive, Leslie in the evenings, and Tony Vazlini (a.k.a. Vasolini, Mark Cantoni) on overnights. Greg Murray replaced Jim Fox during the middays and was also Production Manager.

Poincaré Seminars

The Poincaré Seminars, named for the mathematician and theoretical physicist Henri Poincaré, were founded in 2001. They are nicknamed Bourbaphy for their inspiration by the Bourbaki Seminars.

The goal of this seminar is to provide information on topics of current interest in physics. Its way of working is directly inspired by the Bourbaki Seminar in mathematics. A series of pedagogical talks aims at explaining a topic of current interest both from a theoretical and an experimental point of view, possibly complemented by a historical introduction. A booklet with the contributions of the speakers is distributed on the day of the seminar. The seminar aims at a general audience of mathematicians and physicists and does not require any specialized knowledge.

WRMM-FM

WRMM-FM (101.3 FM) is a radio station licensed to serve Rochester, New York, United States. The station is owned by Stephens Media Group.  Its studios are located at the First Federal Plaza building in downtown Rochester, and its transmitter site is in Rochester's west side.

WRMM broadcasts an adult contemporary music format and during November and December broadcasts Christmas music.

History
Historically, the station was the sister station to AM 680/990, now WDCX. Then-WRNY signed on an FM signal at 97.7 in the early 1950s but shut it down in 1955. Twelve years later, the same station, now known as WNYR, signed a new FM signal at its current location, at which it has broadcast ever since. Prior to 1988, WRMM was known as WEZO and had an Easy Listening (Bonneville) format, and prior to that a Country format as WNYR-FM. AM 990 and WRMM were separated in 1996; WRMM was sold to CBS Radio and AM 990 to a religious broadcaster.

Entercom Communications acquired the station from CBS Radio on November 30, 2007. However, because Entercom's acquisition of CBS's Rochester radio cluster exceeded the Federal Communications Commission's single-market limit on radio station ownership, Entercom put WRMM, along with WZNE and WFKL, back on the market. In May 2008, Stephens Media Group took over ownership of WRMM.

Bankhead Courts

Bankhead Courts was a public housing complex located in Bankhead, Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It was demolished in 2011, with the ultimate plan of redevelopment into a mixed-income community, although as of 2018, development has not yet occurred.

Built in 1970 over a former landfill in the city's far northwest corner, it is surrounded by warehouses and light industry. It was poorly built and the authority moved tenants out of some apartments because of chronic sewage backups. By the late 1980s, out of 1,700 residents, 1,025 were under 19 years old. Ninety-eight percent of the households were headed by women, and the average age of grandmothers there was 32. Cynthia Hoke, a spokeswoman for the Atlanta Housing Authority, said records indicated that only 42 of the residents held jobs. Crime was so rampant at the Bankhead Courts that the mail carriers had to have a police escort making rounds. 

For several years, rapper Lil Nas X resided in the housing complex with his mother and grandmother.

Afghanaid

Afghanaid is an international humanitarian and development NGO that has worked alongside Afghan communities — currently including over one million adults and children — for over three decades. It was founded in the United Kingdom in 1983, following the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan to provide emergency relief to those fleeing from Afghanistan to Pakistan and those in need of medical attention. Its work soon shifted from emergency aid to include community-focused long-term development. Its current work includes building basic services, improving livelihoods, strengthening the rights of women and children, helping communities protect against natural disasters, and respond to humanitarian emergencies. Afghanaid particularly targets vulnerable households in Afghanistan, including those headed by women, or with elderly, chronically ill or disabled family members.

Afghanaid's community-led approach aims to give ordinary Afghans a voice in their own development, making them active participants in shaping the future of their country.

Afghanaid employs approximately 400 staff - almost all Afghans. Almost 40 percent of its staff is female. A small London office provides support for its projects.

Some of Afghanaid's trustees are Mark Bowden (UN official), former United Nations Deputy Representative for Afghanistan, and Orzala Ashraf Nemat, an Afghan scholar and civil society activist.

Ingleby, Pennsylvania

Ingleby is a ghost town located in Haines Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is nearest to the town of Coburn and borders the Bald Eagle State Forest. Other nearby towns include Aaronsburg, Millheim, and Woodward. It was at one time also named Fowler.

Dr. Frank Barker erected a large house near the tracks of the Lewisburg and Tyrone Railroad, two miles east of hunting and fishing cottages, and the spot quickly became a popular resort known as Ingleby. The section of railroad passing through Ingleby was abandoned in 1970.  Today access is provided by Ingleby Road (State Route 2018, unpaved). Most of the land that made up the town of Ingleby is privately owned and not accessible to the public.

Jacqueline Melander, former president of the Centre County Historical Society, described Ingleby in a preliminary nomination to the National Register of Historic Places for the surrounding region to become a historic district ("Penns/Brush Valley Rural Historic District"). The nomination was not successful. The nomination was quoted in a 2006 regional planning outline:Above Coburn and surrounded by mountains, Penns Creek runs through the tiny settlement of Ingleby, once a flag station on the Lewisburg and Tyrone Railroad.

WSML

WSML is located in Graham, North Carolina, and broadcasts at 1200 AM. The station airs a country music format branded as Maverick 95.1-94.3.

History
WSML signed on December 2, 1967, as a daytimer operating at 1190 AM, owned by Smiles of Graham, Inc. In its early years, the station had a top 40 format, but by 1970 it had become a country music station. This gave way to a rock format by 1973, and a blend of country and rock soon thereafter. By 1975, WSML had integrated beautiful music into the format and cut back its country music programming; however, after a sale of the station to Acme Communications (no relation to the current television station owner) in 1976, it reverted to a full-time country format.

In 1981, the station was sold to Graycasting, Inc. and became WWOK; a year later, Evans Communications Corporation took over the station and reinstated the WSML call letters. By this time, the station had added religious programming to its country format; religion had become its full-time format by 1987, after having been acquired by Gray Broadcasting Company (unrelated to Gray Television) two years earlier. WSML moved to 1200 AM in 1991, allowing the station to begin 24-hour operation. By the 1990s, programming consisted of gospel music.

What had become Graycasting Media sold WSML to Clear Channel Communications in 1998. Clear Channel converted the station to a news/talk format, largely simulcasting sister station WSJS from Winston-Salem; this filled in a gap in WSJS' coverage of Greensboro and the eastern part of the Piedmont Triad (especially at night). There was some separate programming — predominantly NC State Wolfpack sports and Sunday morning programming.

After Clear Channel was forced to divest some of its stations in order to merge with AMFM Broadcasting, WSML and WSJS were sold in 2000 to Infinity Broadcasting Corporation, which also purchased WMFR from AMFM. CBS Radio (which Infinity became in 2005), in turn, sold the three stations to Curtis Media Group in 2007. Curtis dropped the WSJS simulcast from WSML on July 15, 2010, replacing it with sports radio programming.

Effective February 11, 2019, Curtis Media Group sold WSML and translators W232DT and W236BQ to Alamance Media Partners, Inc. for $397,500.

WYRK

WYRK (106.5 FM) is a commercial radio station in Buffalo, New York, and serving Western New York. It is owned by Townsquare Media and it broadcasts a country music radio format.  The studios and offices are on Lafayette Square in Buffalo in the Rand Building, 12th Floor. 

WYRK has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 50,000 watts.  The transmitter is atop the Rand Building.

History

WADV
The station signed on the air in 1962 as WADV.  The 106.5 MHz frequency that was originally assigned in 1946 to WBEN-FM (now WBKV), which had moved to 102.5 MHz in 1959. WADV had a MOR/easy listening format, and was the first station in Western New York to air an FM stereo signal. Dan and Nancy Lesniak owned the station under the name "Adver-Cast, Inc.," from which it drew its original call sign. Initially sharing a church office with a scouting troop, the station moved to the Rand Building a year after sign on, where the station has remained ever since.

Dan Lesniak, who had previously been a disc jockey at WWOL prior to launching WADV, became terminally ill in 1981 and sold the station to Stoner Communications; he died a year later.

WYRK
Stoner immediately changed the station to a country music format and adopted the call sign used today. The initial format was semi-automated, with live disc jockeys added a few years later.  The station was not immediately successful.  Ramblin' Lou Schriver-owned WXRL 1300 AM had been Buffalo's heritage country outlet for over a decade by the time WYRK had adopted the format. WYRK received a major boost in popularity with country music's shift in style in the early 1990s and embraced the new country sound.  In the 1990s, most country music listeners had shifted from hearing the format on AM radio to the FM band.

WYRK, according to the Nielsen ratings service, is often the most popular radio station in Western New York. WYRK remains a largely local operation, with the only syndicated programs on the station being Taste of Country Nights weekday evenings at 7 pm, Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40 on Sunday morning at 10 am, and American Country Countdown on Sunday evening at 10 pm. 

WYRK began streaming its programming on the Internet in November 2006.

Concerts
WYRK usually hosts three concert series each year. The longest-running is the Taste of Country that is held every year in June. This event, held at Sahlen Field, celebrated its 16th anniversary on June 12, 2015, with performances by Dierks Bentley, Joe Nichols, Frankie Ballard, Canaan Smith and A Thousand Horses. Its recent series additions are acoustic concerts with one held in the fall and one held in the winter. These feature performances by up-and-coming national artists and can be seen at the UB Center for the Arts.

In 2013, WYRK hosted the Taste of Country June 14 with acts including Darius Rucker, Sheryl Crow, Rodney Atkins, Gloriana, and Jana Kramer.

Gim Myeong-yun

Gim Myeong-yun (fl. mid-16th century), also known as Kim Myeong-yun, was a scholar-official of the Joseon Dynasty who was involved in the Eulsa purge of 1545.  The Eulsa purge took place following the accession of Myeongjong of Joseon, which brought a new in-law family to power. He was serving as the governor of Gyeonggi province when Yun Won-hyeong began to kill his enemies in the government, including Minister of Punishments Yun Im as well as Minister of Personnel Yu In-suk. Gim told Yun that Prince Gyerim and Prince Bongseong had been aware of the plots of these ministers, and thus brought about the death of Prince Gyerim.

Kim Mu-ryeok

Kim Mu-ryeok (518 ~ 16 October 579) was a Silla general under King Jinheung in the mid-6th century. The events of his life are known solely through a brief account in the 12th-century chronicle Samguk Sagi. He was the second son of King Guhae, the last ruler of Geumgwan Gaya, who had joined his family with the true-bone elites of Silla. After his father's surrender in 532, Kim joined the Silla military at the high rank of gakgan. In 553, he led his army to seize the northeastern frontier of Baekje. After taking the area, Kim was made the military governor () of Sinju (). In 554, he met the Baekje armies at Gwansanseong Fortress (present-day Okcheon, South Korea), killing King Seong and four of his ministers, and taking some 29,000 prisoners.  

Kim was also the grandfather of famed Silla general Kim Yu-sin.

Gim Myeong-won

Gim Myeong-won (1534–21 January 1603), also known as Kim Myeong-won, was a high official of the Joseon Dynasty, who served King Seonjo during the Seven Year War (1592-1598).  Born to a yangban family of the Gyeongju Gim lineage, he was the son of another high-ranking official, Gim Man-gyun.  He passed the civil service examination with the highest score in 1561, and was made jwachamchan, a post of the second junior rank under the State Council.  He gained prominence in 1589 when he exposed the treachery of provincial official Jeong Yeo-rip, who was plotting to attack the capital.    At this time, he received the title of "Prince Gyeongnim" (경림군).

Upon the outbreak of war in 1592, Gim took up military duty, leading the Joseon army to consecutive defeats at the capital and again at the Imjin River.  However, he remained vital to the royal family, as he led the army which guarded their retreat to Sunan in the far north following the surrender of Pyongyang.  
After the first wave of the war was over, Gim retired from his post as general due to illness.   He subsequently served in four ministerial posts in turn, those of Punishments, Rites, Public Works, and Military Affairs. Gim led the Joseon armies once again after the Japanese re-invasion of 1597.  He was made Supreme Councillor (uuijeong, 우의정) of the State Council in that year.  

After his death, Gim was given the posthumous title of Chungik-gong (忠翼公), "Loyal-winged general."
