The company manages athletes and fashion celebrities; owns, operates and commercially represents live events; and is an independent producer and distributor of sports and entertainment media.
Quango
A quango (quasi-autonomous non-governmental organization) is an organization to which a government has devolved power, but which is still partly controlled or financed by government bodies. The acronym was originally derived from quasi-NGO, where NGO is the abbreviation for a non-government organization.

As its original name suggests, a quango is a hybrid form of organization, with elements of both NGOs and public sector bodies. Although originating in the United States, the term is primarily used in the United Kingdom and, to a lesser degree, other countries in the core and middle Anglosphere.

In the UK, quango is not an official term and its usage has been described as "highly emotive", with some using it to condemn "wasteful bureaucracy" and a lack of democratic accountability. It covers different arm's-length bodies (ALBs), including non-departmental public bodies ("semi-autonomous public bodies") (NDPBs), non-ministerial government departments, and executive agencies.

Non-ministerial government department
Non-ministerial government departments, also called non-ministerial departments (NMDs), are a type of department of the United Kingdom government that deal with matters for which direct political oversight has been judged unnecessary or inappropriate. They are typically headed by senior civil servants. Some fulfil a regulatory or inspection function, and their status is therefore intended to protect them from political interference.  Some are headed by a permanent office holder, such as a Permanent Secretary or Second Permanent Secretary.
Plum Creek (Colorado)
Plum Creek is a stream in Douglas County, Colorado, United States.  It is formed by the confluence of West Plum Creek and East Plum Creek near the intersection of North Perry Park Road and Manhart Avenue in Sedalia.

Prior to the construction of Chatfield Reservoir in the 1960s and 1970s, Plum Creek merged with the South Platte River in far northern Douglas County. Now, however, it empties into the southern side of the reservoir itself, just west of Santa Fe Drive and within the boundaries of Chatfield State Park.

The Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project, scheduled to start in fall, 2017, will add capacity to Chatfield Reservoir and raise its level about 12 feet. This higher reservoir level will cause the mouth of the creek to move about 7,000 feet further upstream. As part of the expansion project, a mitigation project will also be undertaken to deal with increased sediment deposition and channel erosion along Plum Creek caused by increased urban runoff.

Belbeisi palace
Belbeisi Palace is a historic palace located in Amman, Jordan, in the first circle in Jabal Amman. It was the property of Ismail Pasha Bilbeisi, who came from the town of Salt to Amman in the 1920s. The building was one of the first palaces in the kingdom and now serves as a museum of traditional arts. It is considered one of the finest examples of traditional Arab architecture in Amman. King Abdullah I, the first monarch of Jordan, used it to entertain guests.

As-Salt
As-Salt (Arabic: السلط As-Salt), also known as Salt, is an ancient trading city and administrative centre in west-central Jordan. It is on the old main highway leading from Amman to Jerusalem. Situated in the Balqa highland, about 790–1,100 metres above sea level, the city is built in the crook of three hills, close to the Jordan Valley. One of the three hills, Jabal al-Qal'a, is the site of a 13th-century ruined fortress. It is the capital of Balqa Governorate of Jordan.

The Greater Salt Municipality has about 107,874 inhabitants (2018).

In 2021, the city of Salt was inscribed at the UNESCO World Heritage list.
2023 Golden Gala
The 2023 Golden Gala was the 43nd edition of the annual outdoor track and field meeting in Italy. Held on 2 June at the Stadio Luigi Ridolfi in Florence, it was the third leg of the 2023 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit.

The highlight of the meeting was Faith Kipyegon running 3:49.11 to break the world record in the 1500 m, beating Genzebe Dibaba's mark from 2015. She ran the race in a negative split, covering her first 800 metres in 2:04.1 but her last 800 m in 2:00.6. Kipyegon also became the only woman in history to run under 3:50.

Negative split
A negative split is a racing strategy that involves completing the second half of a race faster than the first half. It is defined by the intentional setting of a slower initial pace, followed by a gradual or sudden increase of speed towards the end of the race. Alternate strategies include even splitting (racing at a steady pace) or sit and kick (also known as a sprint finish). Conversely, the act of completing the first half of a race faster than the second half is known as a positive split.

The strategy of negative splitting has been documented in competitive running since the early 20th century. Runners such as Steve Prefontaine, Wilson Kipsang, and Galen Rupp have used it in races.

Negative split strategies are also used in swimming (including Janet Evans's 1988 Olympic gold in the 400 m freestyle) cycling, triathlon and horse racing.
Janus Films
Janus Films is an American film distribution company. The distributor is credited with introducing numerous internationally-produced arthouse films, now considered masterpieces of world cinema, to American audiences, including the films of Michelangelo Antonioni, Sergei Eisenstein, Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, Akira Kurosawa, Satyajit Ray, François Truffaut, Yasujirō Ozu, Andrei Tarkovsky, and many other well-regarded directors. Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal was the film responsible for the company's initial growth.

Janus has a close business relationship with The Criterion Collection regarding the release of its films on DVD and Blu-ray and is still an active theatrical distributor.

The company's name and logo come from Janus, the two-faced Roman god of transitions, passages, beginnings, and endings.

Logo
A logo (abbreviation of logotype; from Ancient Greek  λόγος (lógos) 'word, speech' and  τύπος (túpos) 'mark, imprint') is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol used to aid and promote public identification and recognition. It may be of an abstract or figurative design or include the text of the name that it represents, as in a wordmark.

In the days of hot metal typesetting, a logotype was one word cast as a single piece of type (e.g. "The" in ATF Garamond), as opposed to a ligature, which is two or more letters joined, but not forming a word. By extension, the term was also used for a uniquely set and arranged typeface or colophon. At the level of mass communication and in common usage, a company's logo is today often synonymous with its trademark or brand.
Telenet
Telenet was an American commercial packet-switched network which went into service in August 16, 1975. It was the first FCC-licensed public data network in the United States. Various commercial and government interests paid monthly fees for dedicated lines connecting their computers and local networks to this backbone network. Free public dialup access to Telenet, for those who wished to access these systems, was provided in hundreds of cities throughout the United States.

Backbone network
A backbone network or core network is a part of a computer network which interconnects networks, providing a path for the exchange of information between different LANs or subnetworks. A backbone can tie together diverse networks in the same building, in different buildings in a campus environment, or over wide areas. Normally, the backbone's capacity is greater than the networks connected to it.

A large corporation that has many locations may have a backbone network that ties all of the locations together, for example, if a server cluster needs to be accessed by different departments of a company that are located at different geographical locations. The pieces of the network connections (for example: Ethernet, wireless) that bring these departments together is often mentioned as network backbone. Network congestion is often taken into consideration while designing backbones.

One example of a backbone network is the Internet backbone.
Steven Bakker
Steven Feico Alle Bakker (born 13 April 1949 in Rotterdam) is a sailor from the Netherlands. Since the Netherlands did boycott the Moscow Olympic Games Bakker represented his National Olympic Committee at the 1980 Summer Olympics, which was boycotted by several countries, in Tallinn, USSR under the Dutch NOC flag. With his father Geert Bakker as helmsman and fellow crew member Dick Coster, Bakker took the 5th place in the Soling. In the 1988 Olympics in Pusan Bakker made his second Olympic appearance. This time as helmsman in the Dutch Star with Kobus Vandenberg as crew. They took 9th place.

Steven Bakker also represented The Netherlands during the 2008 Vintage Yachting Games in Medemblik as helmsman in the Soling with crewmembers Sven/ Dick Coster and Joost Houweling. The team took silver. At the 2012 Vintage Yachting Games at Lake Como Bakker helmed again the Soling now with crewmembers Robin Segaar and Casper van Drunen. The team finished 11th in the series.

Medemblik

NGC 6164
NGC 6164, known as the Dragon's Egg Nebula, is an emission nebula located in the constellation Norma. The nebula was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on the 1st of July 1834, and is approximately 3,870 light years from the Solar System.

Its shape gives it the appearance of a planetary nebula resulting from the death of an old star similar to the Sun, but it is in reality an emission nebula. The gas from this nebula was ejected by the star located at its center, and this is also the source of its energy. In the Henry Draper Catalogue, this star is designated as HD 148937. It is a very young O-type star whose age is between three and four million years. Surrounded by its magnetic field, this star is about 40 times more massive than the Sun, and is expected to end its life on the main sequence in three to four million years.

John Herschel
Sir John Frederick William Herschel, 1st Baronet KH FRS (/ˈhɜːrʃəl, ˈhɛər-/; 7 March 1792 – 11 May 1871) was an English polymath active as a mathematician, astronomer, chemist, inventor and experimental photographer who invented the blueprint and did botanical work.

Herschel originated the use of the Julian day system in astronomy. He named seven moons of Saturn and four moons of Uranus – the seventh planet, discovered by his father Sir William Herschel. He made many contributions to the science of photography, and investigated colour blindness and the chemical power of ultraviolet rays. His Preliminary Discourse (1831), which advocated an inductive approach to scientific experiment and theory-building, was an important contribution to the philosophy of science.
1956–57 Irish Cup

Distillery were the holders but they were defeated 1-0 by Glenavon in the semi-finals.

People of Northern Ireland
People from Northern Ireland are those born in Northern Ireland who, at the time of their birth, have at least one parent who is a British citizen, an Irish citizen, or otherwise entitled to reside in Northern Ireland indefinitely under the Belfast Agreement.

Most Northern Irish people either identify as British, Northern Irish, Irish, or a combination thereof. The 20th century conflict known as The Troubles, which ended in effect in 1999, was primarily caused by tensions between people who had these different identites, and their connections to religion (Anglican protestants and Catholics).

Dobrich Knoll (Dobrichka Mogila \'do-brich-ka mo-'gi-la\) rises to over 400 m in the middle of Veleka Ridge, Tangra Mountains, eastern Livingston Island in Antarctica. It overlooks Tarnovo Ice Piedmont to the east and Arkutino Beach to the west. The knoll is named after the Bulgarian city of Dobrich.

Arkutino Beach
Arkutino Beach (Bulgarian: бряг Аркутино, romanized: bryag Arkutino, IPA: [ˈbrʲak ɐrˈkutino]) is a beach extending 1.8 km on the east coast of False Bay, Livingston Island, Antarctica.   The beach is situated on Rozhen Peninsula, and is bounded by Charity Glacier to the north, Barnard Point to the south, and Veleka Ridge to the east. It is snow-free in the summer.  The ice-free surface area of the beach and the adjacent Veleka Ridge is 468 hectares (1,160 acres).

The feature was named after the coastal lagoon of Arkutino in southeastern Bulgaria.
1960 Peruvian Primera División
The 1960 season of the Peruvian Primera División, or the Peruvian Football Championship, the top category of Peruvian football (soccer), was played by 10 teams. The season was a single league table played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The champions qualified for the Copa Libertadores 1961, the first Copa Libertadores to have a Peruvian team participate. The last placed team at the end of the season was relegated. The champions were Universitario and Mariscal Castilla was relegated.

1961 Copa Libertadores
The 1961 Copa de Campeones de América was the second season of the competition, South America's prized football tournament. Nine teams entered, two more than the previous season, with Venezuela not sending a representative. In order to further enhance the competition, CONMEBOL maintained the criteria of having regional clashes in order to take advantage of the cross-border rivalries

Although Peñarol also won their national league, this became the first and, so far, only time the defending champions did not qualify automatically to the next edition. Nevertheless, the Manyas successfully defended their title by defeating Palmeiras in the final.
Free Software Movement of India
Free Software Movement of India (FSMI) is a national coalition of various regional and sectoral free software movements operating in different parts of India. The formation of FSMI was announced in the valedictory function of the National Free Software Conference - 2010 held in Bangalore during 20–21 March 2010. FSMI is a pan Indian level initiative to propagate the ideology of free software and to popularize the usage of the free software. One of the declared aims of the movement is to take Free Software and its ideological implications to computer users “across the digital divide”, to under-privileged sections of society.

Digital divide
The digital divide is unequal access to and effective use of digital technology, encompassing four interrelated dimensions: motivational, material, skills, and usage access.

The digital divide worsens inequality in access to information and resources. In the Information Age, people without access to the Internet and other technology are at a disadvantage, for they are less able to connect with others, find and apply for jobs, shop, and learn.

People living in poverty, in insecure housing or who are homeless, elderly people, and those living in rural communities may have limited access to the Internet; in contrast, urban middle class people have easy access to the Internet. Another divide is between producers and consumers of Internet content, which could be a result of educational disparities. While social media use varies across age groups, a US 2010 study reported no racial divide.
Bobby Hogg (footballer, born 1914)
Robert Brown Hogg (born 10 May 1914 – 15 April 1975) was a Scottish football player and manager. He was mainly associated with Celtic, for which he made 575 appearances in all competitions between 1932 and 1948 (including over 200 across seven unofficial wartime seasons), winning two Scottish League titles (1935–36 and 1937–38), two Scottish Cups (1932–33 and 1936–37), plus the Coronation Cup in 1938. After leaving Celtic in 1948, he became player/manager of Alloa Athletic for a short spell.

Hogg represented Scotland once, in a 3–1 victory against Czechoslovakia in 1937. He was also selected six times by the Scottish Football League XI between 1934 and 1939.

He married the sister of St Mirren and Scotland defender George Walker in 1935.

Scottish Football League XI
The Scottish League XI was a representative side of the Scottish Football League. The team regularly played against the (English) Football League and other national league select teams between 1892 and 1980. For a long period the annual fixture between the English and Scottish leagues was only second in importance to the matches between the two national teams. The fixture declined in importance after regular European club competition was instituted in the 1950s; matches in the 1960s and 1970s were played irregularly and poorly attended. A match involving a Scottish League XI was last played in 1990, to mark the centenary of the League.
EyeHarp
The EyeHarp is an electronic musical instrument controlled by the player's eye or head movements. It combines eye tracking hardware and specially designed software, which has one component for defining chords and arpeggios, and another to change those definitions and play melodies. People with severely impaired motor function can use this instrument to play music or as an aid to learning or composition.

Chord (music)
A chord is the simultaneous sound of two or more musical notes. The most common chord has three notes and is known as a triad. Added tone chords, extended chords, and tone clusters can have more than three notes and are common in contemporary classical music and jazz.

An arpeggio is a chord where notes are sounded separately. A series of chords is sometimes called a chord progression. There are several ways to notate chords including figured bass, Roman numerals, the Nashville Number System, and alphabetical chord notation.
