Toronto mayor
Charles A. Maguire had been re-elected as mayor in 1922 without any opposition. The 1923 campaign's main issue was Sir Adam Beck's plan for an electrical radial railway (an system of streetcars running between towns and cities) along the Toronto's waterfront and into the neighbouring cities. Maguire was in favour of the controversial plan. His main opponent was R.J. Fleming who was against the plan. Fleming had previously been mayor several decades before. The radial plan was defeated in a referendum that happened at the same time as the election, but Maguire was re-elected mayor.

It also did not happen in 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The fair is held in the during the last two weeks of August and the first few days of September and ends on Labour Day. At the fair people can see shows and exhibits, demonstrations of new technology, farm animals, and they can also enjoy rides such as roller coasters and play games.

Festivals in Canada
A fair is a gathering of people for a variety of entertainment or business related activities. A fair may last for several days or weeks and may occur every year at a specific location.

Types

Some fairs from generally smallest or biggest include:
 Village fair, a festival, party or celebration that happens every year or every few years. Traditionally, they were held to celebrate a good harvests or religious gatherings.
 Traveling funfair/carnival, an amusement show made up of amusement rides, food stalls, merchandise selling stalls, games of "chance and skill", thrill acts and (now less often) animal acts.
 A town/city's street fair or market celebrates character of a neighborhood and local merchants.
 County fair (USA) or county show (UK), a public event displaying the equipment, animals, sports and recreation associated with agriculture and animal breeding.
 Regional or state fair, an annual competition and recreation get-together. Including exhibits or competitors that have won a prize at the local fairs.
 Trade fair, an event held so that companies in a specific industry can showcase and demonstrate their latest products and services, study activities of rivals, and examine recent market trends and opportunities.
 Festival, an event ordinarily coordinated with a theme e.g. music, art, season, tradition, history, ethnicity, religion, or a national holiday.

History

The Roman fairs were holidays on which there was an intermission of labor and pleadings. In the Roman provinces of Judea and Syria Palaestina, Jewish rabbis prohibited Jews from participating in fairs in certain towns because the religious nature of the fairs contravened the prescribed practice of Judaism.

In the Middle Ages, many fairs developed as short-lasting markets and were very important for long-distance and international trade. Traders travelled, sometimes for many days, to fairs where they could be sure to meet those they needed to buy from or sell to. Fairs were usually tied to special Christian religious events, such as the Saint's day of the local church. Stagshaw, in England, held annual fairs as early as 1293 consisting of the sales of animals. Along with the main fair held on 4 July, the city also hosted smaller fairs throughout the year where certain types of animals were sold, such as one for horses, one for lambs, and one for ewes.

The Kumbh Mela, held every twelve years, at Allahabad, Haridwar, Nashik, and Ujjain is one of the largest fairs in India, where more than 60 million people gathered in January 2001, making it the largest gathering anywhere in the world. Kumbha means a pitcher and Mela means fair in Sanskrit.

In the United States, fairs draw in as many as 150 million people each summer. Children's competitions at an American fair range from breeding small animals to robotics, whilst the organization 4-H has become a traditional association.

Choro-Q Advance (Japanese: チョロＱアドバンス Choro-kyū Adobansu) (localized as Gadget Racers in the United States and Penny Racers in Europe) is the first of two Choro-Q video games to be released on the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.

Gameplay 
Choro-Q Advance is described as a "CarPG". The main goal of the game is to advance across five sections of a world map, completing several events along the way in several categories (such as a simple race, a speed test, a single lap dash, a drag race or a braking test). Wins earn money and parts, with the player's stats being able to be upgraded through the use of new parts, and also visual customisation of the player's car, spedometer and changing their horn.

There were also other types of races - battle races where players would shoot eachother with weapons equipped to their cars, and races across water that would require floats. These two types would carry onto the sequel.

The game uses a graphical system similar to other GameBoy Advance racing games at the time, with Mode-7 styled ground effects with billboarded sprites intended to give the impression of 3D graphics.

This game allows players to share "bottle racers" with other players that would appear in the races of the players that received said bottle racers. This was included along with a traditional link-play mode via the Game Boy Advance Link Cable.

Trivia 

 The Japanese version of the game featured a mail system that would inform you of specific things on your journey through the events. This was removed from all other versions of the game.

Plaisir d'amour is a well-known French love song. The text is from the novella Céléstine by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian, published in 1784. Jean-Paul-Égide Martini composed the melody, and published it in 1785. In 1859, Hector Berlioz wrote a short piece for small orchestra, based on the melody.

It has been interpreted by many famous singers: Fritz Wunderlich (1965), Yvonne Printemps (1931), Tino Rossi (1955), Joan Baez (1961), Judith Durham of the Seekers (1963), Marianne Faithfull (1965), Nana Mouskouri (1971), Brigitte Bardot, Barbara Hendricks, Andrea Bocelli, Mireille Mathieu, Peter Alexander, Ivan Rebroff and Eddy Mitchell are among them. The King’s Singers, one of the best English a capella choirs also have a version.

Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley, with a well-known version by  UB40, has the same melody.

Agatharchides   or Agatharchus  was a Greek historian and geographer living in the  second century BC).

Life
Agatharchides is believed to have been born at Cnidus,  he was later a secretary to Heraclides Lembus.

Agatharchides wrote a few words about his own life. At the conclusion of his book On the Erythraean Sea, he apologizes for being unable to complete his work "since our age is unable to similarly bear the toil" and "as a result of the disturbances in Egypt" he could no longer access the official records (a fragment cited by Photius in his Bibliotheca Cod. 250.110, 460b).

Writings
Agatharchides was not well known in ancient times. Of his two major works, Affairs in Asia (Ta kata ten Asian) in ten books, and Affairs in Europe (Ta kata ten Europen) in forty-nine books, only a few fragments survive, too few to provide us with any sense of the contents of either work. However, for his On the Erythraean Sea (Peri tes Erythras Thalasses or De Mari Erythraeo) in five books, almost the entire fifth book, a geographical treatise on the Horn of Africa and the lands around the Red Sea, has survived almost intact. According to Burstein, "the comparative soberness of Agatharchides' treatment compared to previous accounts and the wealth of information contained in it led to a quick recognition . . . [that it was] a valuable summary of the results of Ptolemaic exploration."

In the first book of On the Erythraean Sea was a discussion respecting the origin of the name. In the fifth Agatharchides described the mode of life amongst the Sabaeans in Arabia, and the Ichthyophagi, or fish-eaters, the way in which elephants were caught by the elephant-eaters, and the mode of working the gold mines in the mountains of Egypt, near the Red Sea. His account of the Ichthyophagi and of the mode of working the gold mines, has been copied by Diodorus (iii.12-18). Amongst other extraordinary animals he mentions the camelopard, which was found in the country of the Troglodytae, and the rhinoceros.

An Agatharchides, of Samos, is mentioned by Plutarch, as the author of a work on Persia, and one περὶ λίθων. J.A. Fabricius, however,  the true reading is Agathyrsides, not Agatharchides.

Namesake
The crater Agatharchides on the Moon is named in his honour.

On New Year's Eve, several places (mostly in North America) mark the starts for New Years by lowering or raising an object. Many of these events have strong similarity to the Times Square New Year's celebrations that began in New York City back in December 1907 when they rang in 1908. Three years before the Ball Drop got started was when Times Square began celebrating New Year's. The Times Square Ball lowering events take place one minute before midnight their time.

Between 1½ billion and 2 billion people celebrate while looking at the New York Times Square Ball Dropping.

Atlantic and Eastern Times
Other places in the United States and Canada celebrate with other drops/object lowering and raising. These include the Miami Orange Drop, a similar New Year's Eve dropping in Orlando, a pineapple symbol lowered in Sarasota, a sardine symbol lowering for Eastport, Maine. They also drop a maple leaf symbol on the Atlantic Time celebrating when the New Year begins from there.

In the city of York, Pennsylvania, white roses are lowered almost each December 31. 

In Buffalo, New York another ball is dropped. The drop is, though, performed by manual operation.

Central, Mountain and Pacific Time regions
In Fort Smith, Arkansas at Garrison Avenue and 6th Street, a Ball Drop celebration almost like New York is performed. In New Orleans, fleur de lys are brought down. The fleur de lys drops are shown on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve almost every New Years Eve Night. Tulsa, Oklahoma also performs a Central Time Area Ball Drop on New Years Eve.

In Seattle, Washington, when New Year's Eve celebrations are performed, the Space Needle's elevators are raised (sent up).

COVID-19 cancelations
In December 2020 in most places, and for some the following year, New Year's raising and lowering parties were canceled or restricted for COVID-19 reasons and scheduling interference related to the COVID-19 situation.

The pomato is a grafted plant. It is a combination of a tomato plant and a potato plant.  The gardener grafts the two plants together: The gardener cuts and ties two separate plants so that they grow together.

Tomatoes and potatoes are both in the family Solanaceae. In a pomato, cherry tomatoes grow on the vine or shoot part of the plant and white potatoes grow in the soil underground from the same plant.

This plant does not occur in nature and does not grow from seeds. The two parts of the pomato plant remain genetically separate, but, after they are grafted, they need each other to live and grow.

Pomato plants are one way to make food production more efficient.  This way, more food can be made on the same amount of land.  That makes the pomato good for city gardens, for example gardens on balconies. Grafted pomato plants began in the United Kingdom in September 2013. A horticultural mail-order company Thompson & Morgan started selling grafted plants under the brand name "TomTato."
