18422295_0 | J.W. Childs Associates | J.W. Childs Associates (JWC) is an American private equity firm focused on leveraged buyout and recapitalization transactions for middle-market growth companies. JWC places particular emphasis on consumer products, healthcare and specialty retail companies.
The company is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts and was founded in 1995 by longtime buyout investor John W. Childs, who had previously been the number two partner at large-cap Boston-based private equity firm Thomas H. Lee Partners.
History
The firm was founded in 1995 by long-time leveraged buyout investor John W. Childs after a split from Thomas H. Lee. Prior to founding J.W. Childs Associates, from 1987 through 1995 Childs had been a managing director and subsequently the senior managing director of Thomas H. Lee Partners (THL). While at THL, Childs had helped negotiate the buyouts of Snapple Beverages and Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, along with others of the firm's largest investments. From 1971 through 1987, Childs had held various investment positions at the Prudential Insurance Company of America.
J.W. Childs completed a number of large leveraged buyouts including takeovers of several of the following notable companies: Nutrasweet,Chevy's, Empire Kosher, Equinox Fitness,South Beach Beverage CompanyEdison Schools.
Additionally, the firm has raised approximately $3.1 billion of investor commitments in three private equity funds:
* JW Childs Equity Partners (1995) - $352 million
* JW Childs Equity Partners II (1998) - $983 million
* JW Childs Equity Partners III (2002) - $1.75 billion
* JW Childs Equity Partners IV – failed fundraising in 2007 ($2.5 billion target) |
18422295_1 | J.W. Childs Associates | The firm began "premarketing" its fourth private equity fund in early 2006, with a target size of $2.5 billion. However, in mid-2007, J.W. Childs decided to postpone the fundraising process because institutional investors were proving less receptive to the offering than had been expected. Performance at two of the firm's previous funds was below median for their respective vintage years and many investment professionals resigned from the firm. Additionally, the fundraising environment for private equity firms became increasingly difficult with the onset of the 2007–2008 credit crunch.
In March 2008, following the failed fundraising for JW Childs Equity Partners IV, JWC registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a $200 million IPO of J.W. Childs Acquisition I Corp., a publicly traded special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC).Thomas O. Hicks, formerly of Hicks Muse Tate & Furst) to raise capital when the more common institutional market is unreceptive.

8885752_0 | Transatlantic migrations | Transatlantic migration refers to the movement of people across the Atlantic Ocean in order to settle on the continents of North and South America. It usually refers to migrations after Christopher Columbus' voyage to the Americas in 1492. For earlier Transatlantic crossings, see: Norse colonization of North America and Theory of Phoenician discovery of the Americas.

* The European colonization of the Americas—from 1836 to 1914, over 30 million Europeans migrated to the United States.
* The Puritan migration to New England
* The forced migration of Africans: See Slave trade and Atlantic slave trade
* The Spanish colonization of the Americas
19th century onward
Among the various transatlantic migrations, the period of time between the mid-19th century to the early 20th century marks the “Age of Mass Migration” where 40% of U.S. population growth was due to the inflow of immigrants. Economic theory sought to explain, however, if immigrants were positively or negatively selected from the sending pool into the United States. Ingrid Semmingsen in her book, Norway to America: a History of the Migration, wrote “Many have asked if it was the more capable, the more enterprising and energetic persons who left, or if it was those who fell behind in the struggle for bread, the losers, the maladjusted, and the deviant” in reference to the composition of those who migrated into the United States. The Roy Model of comparative advantage suggests that where there are higher wages for skilled workers in one location, the most able will migrate to that country and earn that income. Moreover, if there are higher wages for unskilled workers in one location, the least able will leave their own country and migrate to earn that income. |
8885752_1 | Transatlantic migrations | As a result of the improvements in transportation after the Industrial Revolution, long-distance migrations increased in the 19th century. For example, the duration of the Atlantic passage fell from 5 weeks (1725) to one week (1900). In addition, the length of indentured servitude necessary to pay for the fare decreased from 4 years to approximately 4 weeks, substantially decreasing one of the main deterrents for making the trek. Between 1846 and 1940, some 55 million migrants moved from Europe to America. 65% went to the United States. Other major receiving countries were Argentina, Canada, Brazil and Uruguay. Also, 2.5 million Asians migrated to the Americas, mostly to the Caribbean (where they worked as indentured servants in plantations) and some, notably the Japanese, to Brazil and the USA.

Roberts is a Christian. Roberts spoke of his faith in 2016 by saying, "I stopped trying to be good enough and earn my way into heaven and accepted God’s gift of eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ in 1988. It wasn’t until just a few years ago, though, that I really understood how much God loved me in sending Jesus to die in my place and really started living for Him, putting Him first in my life, making Him Lord. My relationship with Christ is the most important thing in my life. Beyond the game of baseball, He gives me lasting joy, contentment and peace. That’s the great thing about allowing Jesus to become Lord–He really knows and wants what is best for my life." |

69265017_0 | Detention Centres in Libya | Detention centres in Libya, are criminal enterprises run by gangs of people-traffickers and kidnappers for profit.
Lawlessness in Libya has resulted in circumstances where criminals gangs abduct and detain people who are migrating to or through Libya. 5,000 migrants are held in dozens of camps that are mostly located around Bani Walid. Detainees often suffer torture and may face execution if their family do not pay ransoms to the gangs.
European government who reject asylum seekers arriving by boat create circumstances where people are vulnerable to the activities of the gangs who run the detention centres.
The detention centres have been publicly condemned by Pope Francis and Médecins Sans Frontières. Criticisms of the centres were contained in leaked documents from the German government. The United Nations Security Council called upon the Libyan authorities to close the centres in 2022.
Background
An underground prison in Libya.
Since the 2011 death of leader Moamer Kadhafi, Libya has become a route for migrants and refugees making their way to Europe.
The financial success of the camps is bolstered by a European Union funded effort to return migrants on boats to Libya.Médecins Sans Frontières described "kidnapping for ransom" as a thriving business and criticized European Union-sponsored policies to deter refugees and migrants from traveling to Europe.
Operations
The camps are run by Islamist militias, smuggling gangs, and the Libyan Coast Guard.
After migrants are abducted, detention center staff telephone the prisoners' families to demand ransoms.
The value of ransom payments vary, with known examples ranging between 2,500 Libyan dinars (US$500) and 25,000 dinars (US$5,000).
Detention facilities are centred around Bani WalidBani Walid detention camp.Tripoli.Zawiyah.

7460455_0 | IRC (sailing) | For other uses, see IRC (disambiguation).
IRC is a system of handicapping sailboats and yachts for the purpose of racing. It is managed by the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) in the United Kingdom through their dedicated Rating Office,Union Nationale pour la Course au Large (UNCL) in France.
IRC stands for International Rating Certificate. Originally, “IR” was an abbreviation for International Rule. However, since the Rule at that stage was not recognized under International Rule (sailing), that name was not permitted. So RORC simply decided to keep the initials as the name, and the name remained simply IRC until 2016.
The IRC rule is not published, meaning the only bodies capable of calculating an IRC rating are the RORC Rating Office and UNCL Centre de Calcul in Paris (they are joint owners of the Rule). This prevents designers from attempting to design 'to the rule'. The earlier IOR was published, and often amended, resulting in widespread criticism for several reasons. Firstly, as the rule effectively dictated the nature of boat designs, amendments to the rule could result in older designs gaining less favourable ratings compared to their real world speed, making racing competitively more expensive. Also, the pressure to produce designs which performed well under the rule resulted in designers producing yachts with certain dimensions intentionally extreme, in order to gain an unfairly favourable rating. The production of yachts which were excessively light and beamy - what became the classic 'diamond' plan form of the IOR - was believed to impact safety, and was cited as a factor in the 1979 Fastnet race disaster. In theory, the IRC avoids these problems.
IRC can apply a rating to any single or two-masted ballasted monohull yacht. It considers such features as asymmetric spinnakers, carbon masts, canting keels, and water ballast, all of which have been permitted for several years. Furthermore, the rule is reviewed annually in light of new developments and trends in past results. On this front, RORC and UNCL seek and actively welcome input and comment from the users. In recent years the Rule has since been developed to rate modern, light boats more fairly. |
7460455_1 | IRC (sailing) | IRC permits and encourages owner declared measurement and this policy will be maintained for the future, although some clubs and areas have always insisted that locally they should measure boats.
There are also 'Endorsed' IRC ratings which require RORC or UNCL, as appropriate, to be satisfied as to the correctness of the rated data, generally by measurement by appointed measurers. Race Committees may require endorsed certificates for some events. Also, an IRC measurement manual is available on the IRC website https://ircrating.org along with simplified measurement guidance to assist with local measurement if required.
Boat classes/models for which IRC Standards have been set in terms of LH, overhangs, empty weight, beam and draft measurements only. Upon applying for base ratings (non-endorsed), one may elect to have standard overhang dimensions and a class weight used towards their IRC Ratings. Racers then need to submit rig, sail, ... to complete the application process. These standard overhang and displacement values reference the lightest boat in class.

History
Originally called Channel Handicap, the rule was developed in 1983 at a time when there was a strong decline in the turnout for racing at the then predominant IOR (International Offshore Rule). The British RORC and the French UNCL, who jointly developed the rule, saw it as a means to get the "average club sailor" involved in racing, in the hope that they would subsequently upgrade their boat to participate under the IOR rule, or possibly the IMS handicapping system if that became more established.
The key people in its initial development were Keith Ludlow, Jonathan Hudson and Jean Sans, and then Tim Thornton took over the RORC side of things in the final development of the rule and its subsequent launch.
The rule was designed to favour heavy cruising boats with lower sail areas, dissuading more extreme racing yachts coming in to Channel Handicap. It was also designed to use the minimum number of measurements, in contrast to both the IOR and IMS, and to have owners measure their own boats, to make it simple and economic to implement. |
7460455_2 | IRC (sailing) | It quickly became popular, and even more so when the rule was extended to include day sailing keelboats, extending from the origin need for cruising style accommodation and more stringent safety equipment for sailing offshore. An attempt was also made to extend it to include multihulls, though this failed due to the political differences between the monohull and multihull sailors and their clubs.
It quickly outgrew the Channel in its reach, and in 2000 was renamed IRC. In 2003 it was recognised as an international rule by ISAF. Racing under IRC has become more competitive over the years, and it is used in hundred of clubs races, open events and the major offshore classic races around the world.

"True hermaphroditism," which is clinically known as ovotesticular disorder of sex development,intersex state in which a human is born with both testicular and ovarian tissue. Often one or both gonads is an ovotestis which contains both types of tissue. It is similar in some ways to mixed gonadal dysgenesis but the conditions can be distinguished histologically.
"Pseudohermaphroditism" on the other hand is an old clinical term for a person that is born with primary sex characteristics of one sex but develops the secondary sex characteristicsgonadal tissue (ovary or testis). Use of the term "pseudohermaphroditism" can be problematic, and is now widely considered redundant.hermaphrodite.
Several militaries, whether they accept intersex people (such as Israel) or not, use different wording.Military.com clumps all three conditions together as "hermaphroditism" on their list of conditions which disqualify one from service.
History
Background
Barring of intersex persons with ovotesticular disorder of sex development and "pseudohermaphroditism" like states dates back to at least as far back as 1956. Despite this, John F. Patton of the Office of the Surgeon General and Center of Military History of the U.S. Army, wrote in 1988 that "Lesser degrees of these abnormalities, however, were obviously overlooked or regarded as compatible with military service."gonadal agenesis as an obstacle in military servie has been recorded since the early 1970s if not before.

59640697_3 | (DoDI) 6130.03, 2018, section 5, 13f and 14m | Developments
The guideline with the current wording was first conceived in 2010 and implemented in 2011.transvestism, voyeurism, other paraphilias, or factitious disorders, psychosexual conditions, transsexual, gender identity disorder to include major abnormalities or defects of the genitalia such as change of sex or a current attempt to change sex, hermaphroditism, pseudohermaphroditism, or pure gonadal dysgenesis or dysfunctional residuals from surgical correction of these conditions render an individual administratively unfit," which while specifying that only unsuccessful corrective surgeries for the conditions rendered someone unfit for service also lumped together disorders of sex development (DOSD) with gender identity, fetishes, mental illness, neuroatypicality, personality disorders and paraphilias in the same level of disqualification, which is not consistent or optimal for rules of enlistment.transgender people to serve did not touch on intersex people whatsoever and their situation remained unchanged.transgender people were motivated by changes in the medical and psychological community, and while the use of the word hermaphroditism was criticized as archaic and medically outdated there was no major push by the larger LGBT community to have it corrected nor was any effort made on the part of the military to consider having it reworded.
Effectiveness
The Consensus Study Report from the Board on Children, Youth, and Families (part of the DOD's Military Family Readiness System) in 2019 notes that despite the restriction it is very possible for someone whose genitalia have been surgically modified to comply with social norms due to these conditions to enter the military completely undetected.

15979801_0 | David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale | David Bertram Ogilvy Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale (13 March 1878 – 17 March 1958) was an English landowner and the father of the Mitford sisters, in whose various novels and memoirs he is depicted.
Ancestry and early life
Mitford's legendary eccentricity was evident from an early age. As a child he was prone to sudden fits of rage. He was totally uninterested in reading or education and wished only to spend his time riding. He later liked to boast that he had read only one book in his life, Jack London's novel White Fang on the grounds that he had enjoyed it so much he had vowed never to read another,
His lack of academic aptitude meant that he was not sent to Eton, with his older brother, but rather to Radley, with the intention that he should enter the army. However, he failed the entrance examination to Sandhurst and was instead sent to Ceylon to work for a tea planter.
Lord Redesdale was the second son of Algernon Bertram Freeman-Mitford, 1st Baron Redesdale, and Lady Clementine Gertrude Helen Ogilvy, a daughter of David Ogilvy, 10th Earl of Airlie. The Mitfords are a family of landed gentry from Northumberland dating back to the 14th century. Redesdale's great-great-grandfather was the historian William Mitford. His father, Bertram, called Bertie, was a diplomat, politician and author, with large inherited estates in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire as well as Northumberland. He was raised to the peerage in 1902 and so his son became known as The Hon. David Freeman-Mitford although the surname Mitford was more commonly used.
Work and war
In early 1900 he returned to England from Ceylon, and on 23 May 1900 he joined the Northumberland Fusiliers as a second lieutenant.Second Boer War in South Africa, where Mitford soon joined in the fighting, in which he served with distinction and was wounded three times, losing one lung. He was briefly taken prisoner by the Boers in June 1900 but escaped. In May 1901 he was appointed aide-de-camp to Lord Methuen, a senior commander during the war, and on 10 August 1901 he was promoted to lieutenant.Imperial Yeomanry, |
15979801_1 | David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale | For a time his father-in-law employed him as manager of The Lady, but he showed no interest in, or talent for, this. The Mitfords travelled regularly to Canada, where Mitford owned a gold claim near Swastika, Ontario: no gold was ever found there, but he enjoyed the outdoor life. His daughter Unity Valkyrie Mitford stated that she was conceived in Swastika and shared this fact with Hitler upon becoming one of his British confidants. Redesdale's neighbour Harry Oakes did strike gold nearby in 1912 and became a wealthy landholder and friend of the Duke of Windsor in Bermuda where he was the victim of a murder most foul.
On the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, he immediately rejoined the Northumberland Fusiliers. He was commissioned a lieutenant and served as a logistics officer in Flanders, gaining a mention in despatches for his bravery at the Second Battle of Ypres (although there is no available record of this),Provost Marshal for Oxfordshire, with responsibility for ensuring the enlistment of new recruits. In 1918–19 he served as a ground officer with the Royal Air Force.
Lord Redesdale
As Lord Redesdale he was often silent in the House of Lords, but joined the House of Lords Select Committee on Peerages in Abeyance in 1925.
Although Redesdale was now a large landowner, he was not a wealthy man: the estates were poorly developed and rents were low. With seven children to feed and five servants to pay, he could not maintain the expense of his large home at Batsford in the Cotswolds. He bought and extended Asthall Manor and then moved to nearby Swinbrook. Here he indulged his passion for building by building a new large house, named after the village, which appears as the family home in the books of his daughters Nancy and Jessica. The expense of these moves nearly ruined Redesdale, who was a poor manager of money. This, plus his increasing disappointment that all his later children were girls, led to the deterioration of his temperament which became legendary through his daughters' portrayals of his frequent and terrible rages.
Political views and family splits |
15979801_2 | David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale | Political views and family splits
As a conservative peer, Redesdale was a member of the House of Lords, then a hereditary chamber (apart from the bishops and Law Lords). He attended the House conscientiously but had little interest in legislation except for being opposed to nearly all progressive change. In the 1930s, however, his wife developed a strong sympathy for fascism, and he favoured Neville Chamberlain's appeasement approach towards Germany. His daughter Jessica, a communist from her teenage years, described him as "one of nature's fascists", but it seems he never joined any fascist party. As a result, he became permanently estranged from Jessica and partly estranged from his eldest daughter Nancy, who was a strong antifascist and moderate socialist - but not as left-wing as Jessica.
Notice of a demonstration organised by the British Brothers' League
The father of his wife Sydney, Thomas Gibson Bowles had been one of the strongest parliamentary supporters of the Royal Navy while he was an MP, and her maternal uncle William Evans-Gordon, MP, was a retired British Indian Army officer who was opposed to uncontrolled immigration into Britain, was allied to the British Brothers' League, and helped to enact the Aliens Act 1905. |
15979801_3 | David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale | Redesdale was an instinctive xenophobe, and came back from the First World War with a dislike of the French and a deep hatred of the Germans. He was widely quoted as saying, "Abroad is bloody." As "Uncle Matthew", who was modelled on Redesdale,The Pursuit of Love: "Frogs are slightly better than Huns or Wops, but abroad is unutterably bloody and foreigners are fiends."British Union of Fascists leader, Oswald Mosley) and Unity for Nazi Germany and for Adolf Hitler: Hitler was, after all, a Hun. In November 1938, however, the Redesdales accompanied their daughters to Germany, where they attended the Nuremberg Rally and met Hitler, with whom Unity and Diana were already acquainted. Both the Redesdales were immediately won over by Hitler's superficial charm and by his admiration for the British Empire. Redesdale later spoke in the House of Lords in favour of the Anschluss Germany's colonies, and he became an even stronger supporter of Chamberlain's policy of appeasement towards Germany. Lady Redesdale went further, writing articles in praise of Hitler and in support of Nazism.
The outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 precipitated a series of crises in the Mitford family. Redesdale was, above all, a patriot, and as soon as war was declared by Chamberlain he recanted his support for Hitler and once again became violently anti-German. Lady Redesdale stuck to her Nazi sympathies; as a result, the pair became estranged, separating in 1943. Unity, who was in love with Hitler, attempted suicide in Munich on 3 September 1939 (the day war was declared on Germany by Great Britain), and suffered severe brain-damage. She was brought home an invalid, and Lady Redesdale cared for her until her death in 1948. Diana and Oswald Mosley were interned in May 1940 as security risks, and spent over three years in prison until their release in November 1943. Jessica's husband, Esmond Romilly, was killed in action in 1941; this deepened her bitterness towards the "fascist branch" of the family. Jessica never spoke to her father again, although she was reconciled with her mother in the 1950s. Jessica did not speak to Diana again until 1973, although they remained permanently estranged because of their continuing strong political differences.

15979801_4 | David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale | Personal life
The Mitford family in 1928
In February 1904, he married Sydney Bowles (1880–1963), whom he had first met ten years previously, when he was 16 and she was 14. She was the daughter of Thomas Gibson Bowles, a journalist and Conservative MP, who in 1863 had founded the magazine Vanity Fair, and some years later the women's magazine The Lady.
The couple had one son and six daughters, who all used the surname Mitford rather than Freeman-Mitford:
* Nancy Mitford (1904–1973), who married Peter Rodd, a soldier, aid worker, film-maker and the son of The 1st Baron Rennell, in 1933. They divorced in 1957.
* Pamela Mitford (1907–1994), who married Derek Jackson, a physicist and the son of Sir Charles Jackson.
* Major Thomas David Mitford (1909–1945), who was killed in action in Burma.
* Diana Mitford (1910–2003), who married Bryan Guinness in 1929. They divorced in 1933 and she then married Sir Oswald Mosley in 1936.
* Unity Valkyrie Mitford (1914–1948), who befriended Adolf Hitler before the war.
* Jessica Lucy Mitford (1917–1996), who married Esmond Romilly, an anti-fascist, in 1937. After his death in 1941, she married Robert Treuhaft, an American lawyer, in 1943.
* Deborah Vivien Mitford (1920–2014), who married The 11th Duke of Devonshire, the younger son and eventual heir of The 10th Duke of Devonshire, in 1941.
On Nancy's birth certificate, David listed his occupation as: "Honourable".
Later life
In 1945, Tom Mitford was killed in action in Burma, a blow from which Lord Redesdale, already depressed by the break-up of his marriage, never recovered. According to Nancy Mitford's biographer: "Although she [Nancy] was deeply grieved by his death, it did not mean for her, as it did for her parents, that all pleasure in life was over." |
15979801_5 | David Freeman-Mitford, 2nd Baron Redesdale | Redesdale retreated to Inchkenneth, an island in the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland, which he had purchased in 1938. Later he moved to Redesdale in Northumberland, his family's ancestral property and lived there as a virtual recluse.
By 1950, when Nancy visited him, he was "frail and old". He died in Northumberland in 1958 and was buried in the graveyard of St Mary's church at Swinbrook in Oxfordshire, where four of his daughters (Nancy, Diana, Unity and Pamela) are also buried.
His title passed to his brother Bertram Freeman-Mitford, 3rd Baron Redesdale.
In fiction as "Uncle Matthew"
Redesdale is the model for Uncle Matthew, Lord Alconleigh of Alconleigh, in Nancy's novels The Pursuit of Love (1945) and Love in a Cold Climate (1949).bloodhounds in practice by having them track his children. Uncle Matthew also kept a wartime entrenching tool on a chimneypiece that still had an enemy's hair and brain parts on it.

Crew lining the gunwale of J-class yacht Ranger
A J-Class yacht (sometimes called a "J-boat") is a single-masted racing yacht built to the specifications of Nathanael Herreshoff's Universal Rule. The J-Class are considered the peak racers of the era when the Universal Rule determined eligibility in the America's Cup.
Universal Rule
The J-Class is one of several classes deriving from the Universal Rule for racing boats. The rule was established in 1903 and rates double-masted racers (classes A through H) and single-masted racers (classes I through S). From 1914 to 1937, the rule was used to determine eligibility for the Americas Cup. In the late 1920s, the trend was towards smaller boats and so agreement among American yacht clubs led to rule changes such that after 1937 the International Rule would be used for 12 Metre class boats.
Universal Rule formula
The Universal Rule formula[R={\frac {0.18\cdot L\cdot {\sqrt {S}}}{{\sqrt[ {3}]{D}}}}]
Where:
*
+ [L] is boat length (a number itself derived from a formula that includes Load Waterline Length L.W.L in feet)
+ [S] is sail area
+ [D] is displacement
+ [R] is rating
+ Herreshoff initially proposed an index of .2 but ratifying committees of the various yacht clubs changed this to, at various times, .18 or .185. This is, essentially, a 'fudge factor' to allow some boats designed and built prior to the adoption of the Universal Rule to compete.

2513757_1 | J-class yacht | 1930s sailplan of a J-Class yacht
The numerator contains a yacht's speed-giving elements, length and sail area, while the retarding quantity of displacement is in the denominator. Also the result will be dimensionally correct; R will be a linear unit of length (such as feet or meters). J-Class boats will have a rating of between 65 and 76 feet. This is not the overall length of the boat but a limiting factor for the variables in the equation. Designers are free to change any of the variables such as length or displacement but must reduce the other variables to compensate.

History and evolution of the J Class
J Class Yachts Velsheda, Topaz and Svea downwind legs |
2513757_3 | J-class yacht | Prior to the adoption of the Universal Rule, the Seawanhaka Rule was used to govern the design of boats for inter club racing. As the Seawanhaka Rule used only two variables: Load Waterline Length ([L.W.L]) and Sail Area, racing boats at the time were becoming more and more extreme. Larger and larger sails atop shorter and wider boats leading either to unwieldy, and ultimately unsafe, boats or craft that simply were not competitive.[L.O.A]) to the load waterline length the universal rule was proposed, taking into account displacement and length, which itself was a result of a formula taking into account such things as "quarter beam length". As different boats were designed and built, the notion of classes was derived to maintain groupings of competitive class.
The J-Class Endeavour of 1934, shown here in 1996
Following Sir Thomas Lipton's near success in the 1920 America's Cup, he challenged again for the last time at age 79, in 1929. The challenge drew all the novelties developed in the previous decade on small boats to be ported onto large boats, and pitted British and American yacht design in a technological race. Between 1930 and 1937, the improvements brought to the design of sailboats were numerous and significant: |
2513757_4 | J-class yacht | * The high-aspect bermuda rig replaces the gaff rig on large sailboats
* Solid-rod lenticular rigging for shrouds and stays
* Luff and foot grooved spars with rail and slides replacing wooden hoops
* Multiplication of spreader sets: one set previously (1914), two sets (1930), three sets (1934), four sets (1937)
* Multiplication of the number of winches: 23 winches, Enterprise (1930)
* Electrical navigational instruments borrowed from aeronautics with repeaters for windvane and anemometer, Whirlwind (1930)
* "Park Avenue" boom (Enterprise, 1930) and "North Circular" boom (Rainbow, 1934) developed to trim mainsail foot
* Riveted aluminium mast (4,000 lb (1,800 kg), Duralumin), Enterprise (1930)
* Genoa Jib (Rainbow, 1934) and quadrangular jib (Endeavour, 1934)
* Development of nylon parachute (symmetric) spinnakers, including the World's largest at 18,000 sq ft (1,700 m2) on Endeavour II (1936)
* Duralumin wing-mast, Ranger (1937)
All these improvements may not have been possible without the context of the America's Cup and the stability offered by the Universal Rule. The competition was a bit unfair because the British challengers had to be constructed in the country of the Challenging Yacht Club (a criterion still in use today), and had to sail on their own hull to the venue of the America's Cup (a criterion no longer in use today): The design for such an undertaking required the challenging boat to be more seaworthy than the American boats, whose design was purely for speed in closed waters regattas. The yachts that remain in existence are all British, and probably log more nautical miles today than they ever did. This would not have been possible if Charles Ernest Nicholson did not obtain unlimited budgets to achieve the quality of build for these yachts. |
2513757_5 | J-class yacht | Yacht designer Clinton Hoadley Crane noted in his memoirs that "America's Cup racing has never led to good sportsmanship. The attitude of the New York Yacht Club [...] has been more that of a man in the forward position at war who has been ordered to hold his position at all costs – at all costs."Shamrock V challenge when America was facing a stock market crash, but the NYYC still built four cup defenders. The rivalry led both countries to put on a display of true technological innovations using the maximum load waterline length authorized by the rule for Endeavour II and Ranger in 1937.
Most J-Class yachts were scrapped prior to or during World War II because steel and lead had become precious to the war effort. In the post-war era, J-Class racing was deemed far too expensive, so no challenge for the America's Cup was placed until 1958 with the smaller third International Rule 12 Metre class.
Rigging problems
The original yachts carried 165 ft (50 m) masts, but they dismasted frequently. As a consequence, British yachtsman Sir Richard Fairey (Chairman of Fairey Aviation, and owner of Shamrock V) suggested an America's Cup challenge in the smaller K-Class.New York Yacht Club refused the drop in size.
The J-Class rule was amended in 1937 to force rigs to weigh a minimum of 6,400 lb. The larger scantling would prevent the frequent dismastings that had been previously observed in the British Big Class season of 1935.
Revival
Rainbow and Velsheda racing at the J-Class Solent regatta, 2012.
By the 1980s only three J-Class yachts were still in existence: Shamrock V, Endeavour and Velsheda, all designed by Charles Ernest Nicholson. Velsheda never served for an America's Cup challenge.
A revival of the J-Class was triggered by Elizabeth Meyer, who oversaw the refits of Endeavour and Shamrock V. For several decades Velsheda lay derelict in the mud of the Hamble river – she was refitted in 1984, too, and then more completely in 1997. |
2513757_6 | J-class yacht | In August 2001, as part of the celebration of the 150th Jubilee of America's Cup celebration, the three existing J-Class racers were brought to the Isle of Wight for a round the island race.
The creation of the J-Class AssociationRanger in 2004 accelerated the revival of the class. Several replicas and original designs were subsequently built and the association now organizes races for the J-Class in Newport, Falmouth and Cowes.
The current J Class fleet comprises nine boats: Endeavour, Hanuman, Lionheart, Rainbow, Ranger, Shamrock V, Velsheda, Topaz, and, launched in January 2017, Svea.
On March 12, 2020, Svea and Topaz collided while maneuvering at the start line of the Superyacht Challenge Antigua. Both boats retired from racing with damage; two sailors were injured.
List of J-Class yachts
Ten yachts were built to the J-Class rule between 1930 and 1937, six in America and four in Great Britain.
Other boats raced in J-Class regattas: The yachts Katoura (Starling Burgess, 1927), Resolute (Nathanael Herreshoff, 1914) and Vanitie (William Gardner, 1914) served as trial horses and most International Rule 23mR yachts were converted to the J-Class, of which three remain in existence: Astra, Cambria and Candida. |

It was played on 29 December 1957 at the Rosenaustadion in Augsburg.Bayern Munich won the match 1–0 against Fortuna Düsseldorf, to claim their 1st cup title.
Route to the final
The DFB-Pokal began with 5 teams in a single-elimination knockout cup competition. There were a total of two rounds leading up to the final. In the qualification round, all but two teams were given a bye. Teams were drawn against each other, and the winner after 90 minutes would advance. If still tied, 30 minutes of extra time was played. If the score was still level, a replay would take place at the original away team's stadium. If still level after 90 minutes, 30 minutes of extra time was played. If the score was still level, a drawing of lots would decide who would advance to the next round.
Note: In all results below, the score of the finalist is given first (H: home; A: away).

8029970_0 | LGV Normandie | French TGV network, with the planned TGV line from Paris to Normandy in the northwest (green dots)
The LGV Normandie is a French high-speed rail line project to link Paris and Normandy. Trains will run at 250 km/h (155 mph) with a new TGV station serving Rouen.
History
The 1991 diagram of the proposed LGV network already included the LGV Normandie. This was to begin in the Parisian suburbs and would split into two branches near Mantes-la-Jolie; one leading towards Rouen, the other ending near Évreux. This project was abandoned due to profitability concerns (the cost of replacing the current Corails with TGVs would be high, whereas the time gain would be modest). The Basse-Normandie and Haute-Normandie regions would therefore have to content themselves with a more basic project improving the infrastructure of the "classic" line.
Current project
The current LGV Normandie project, which followed several years later, is more ambitious than the foregoing:
* In addition to the Paris-Normandy route, it provides for internal links inside Normandy (TER-GV) and intra-provincial connections
* The project connects to the three principal cities of Normandy: Rouen, Caen and Le Havre are linked to Paris entirely by LGV
This "new" version of the LGV Normandie would begin in the Parisian suburb of Nanterre, on the regular Paris-Poissy line. A connection is foreseen in order to serve La Défense from Normandy. The line would then follow in large part the A14 and A13 motorways until Oissel, south of Rouen, where two links towards Rouen and perhaps a new station would be constructed. The line would then follow the left bank of the river Seine until a triangle junction situated east of Honfleur; from here a line would cross the Seine between Normandy and Tancarville bridges, ending in a link which would enable service to Le Havre. After Honfleur junction, the LGV would border the sea and a connection would serve Deauville. The LGV would end in Cagny, near Caen, enabling TGVs to serve Caen but not Cherbourg. |
8029970_1 | LGV Normandie | The line would therefore permit the linking of Rouen and Paris in 30 minutes, Le Havre and Paris in 50 minutes, and Caen to Paris in less than an hour. Additionally it would enable high-speed connections between Caen-Rouen, Caen-Le Havre and Rouen-Le Havre.
Connected projects
* The LGV Picardie would link Normandy and the North of France, Brussels, Picardy and the eastern French region |

59494919_0 | 121-127 Sussex Street, Sydney | 121–127 Sussex Street is a heritage-listed former warehouse and now commercial office building located at 121-127 Sussex Street, in the Sydney central business district, in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was built during 1850. The property is owned by Property NSW, an agency of the Government of New South Wales. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.
History
Mid-nineteenth century commercial buildings reflecting the predominant use of the Sussex Street area as storage, warehousing, and markets closely related to the wharfage in Darling Harbour.
The site for much of its history in the 19th and early 20th century was the premises of produce and commission agents. There were other businesses occupying the premises including a photographer in the 1870s. Nipper and See were long-time residents, who as well as produce stores and agents were also auctioneers. Several Farmers Co-operative Associations had their warehouses and offices on the site during the late 19th century. Goldsbrough Mort & Co had sampling rooms here during the 1890s. The buildings appear to have been modified or rebuilt just before Federation, incorporating warehouses and commercial chambers. There was a tinsmith and canister maker on the site for a short time after this. Well known produce merchants and auctioneers Livingstone and Gray, later known as Livingstone and Basham had a long tenancy on the site in the early 20th century.
The site was extensively redeveloped in 1985 and was incorporated into the Four Points Hotel.As of December 2018 the property was leased by Multiplex.
Description
Built around the 1850s; painted stone and iron roof. Originally single storey to Sussex Street with four storeys at rear; sympathetic second storey added around Federation to Sussex Street elevation. Original tenants were very well known Sydney produce merchants.

Summary
The replay final began at the Delhi Gate Stadium in New Delhi on 19 January 1961 as the first final finished in a 1–1 draw.
Mohun Bagan started fast by creating a few attacks with Chuni Goswami and Amiya Banerjee linking up together but the East Bengal defense led by Arun Ghosh held firm. Both teams tried to take control of the game in different spells but failed to break the deadlock as the game ended in a goalless stalemate. No extra time was played and the organizing committee decided to declare both the teams as joint winners, with a coin toss taking place, which Mohun Bagan won, thus they got to keep the trophy first six months while East Bengal would keep it in the next six.
