William Baldock (cricketer, born 1815)
William Baldock (1815 – 23 June 1878) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of William Henry Baldock, was born in Kent at Bapchild and made his debut in first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of Kent against the Gentlemen of England at Lord's in 1842. He made a further seven appearances in the fixture between 1842–49, scoring 127 runs in his eight first-class matches for the Gentlemen of Kent, which he made at an average of 10.58 and with a high score of 28. In addition to playing first-class cricket, Baldock also served in the 35th (Royal Sussex) Regiment of Foot, having formerly served in the East Kent Yeomanry from 1840 as a cornet. Baldock died at Surbiton in June 1878, and was survived by his son, William junior, who played first-class cricket for Hampshire. His grandson, also called William, played first-class cricket for Somerset.

History of English amateur cricket
Cricket, and hence English amateur cricket, probably began in England during the medieval period but the earliest known reference concerns the game being played c.1550 by children on a plot of land at the Royal Grammar School, Guildford, Surrey. It is generally believed that cricket was originally a children's game as it is not until the beginning of the 17th century that reports can be found of adult participation.

Originally, all cricketers were amateurs in the literal sense of the word. Village cricket developed through the 17th century and teams typically comprised players who were all resident in the same village or parish. There is no evidence of professionalism before the English Civil War or during the Commonwealth but legal cases of the period have shown that cricket was played jointly by gentry and workers.

Daniel Gottesman
Daniel Gottesman is a physicist, known for his work regarding quantum error correction, in particular the invention of the stabilizer formalism for quantum error-correcting codes, Gottesman–Kitaev–Preskill code and the Gottesman–Knill theorem. He is a faculty member at the University of Maryland.

Gottesman completed a B.A. in physics at Harvard University (1992) and a Ph.D. in physics at Caltech (1997). He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (2013). In 2003, he was named to the MIT Technology Review TR100 as one of the top 100 innovators in the world under the age of 35.

Quantum error correction
Quantum error correction (QEC) comprises a set of techniques used in quantum memory and quantum computing to protect quantum information from errors arising from decoherence and other sources of quantum noise. QEC schemes that employ codewords stabilized by a set of commuting operators are known as stabilizer codes, and the corresponding codewords are referred to as quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs).

Conceptually, to use a quantum error-correcting code, one can append ancilla qubits to qubits that need protection, and apply a unitary encoding circuit to rotate the global state into a subspace of a larger Hilbert space. This highly entangled, encoded state corrects for local noisy errors. A quantum error-correcting code makes quantum computation and quantum communication practical by providing a way for a sender and receiver to simulate a noiseless qubit channel given a noisy qubit channel whose noise conforms to a particular error model.

U.S. Open (golf)
The United States Open Championship, commonly known as the U.S. Open, is the annual open national championship of golf in the United States. It is the third of the four men's major golf championships, and is on the official schedule of both the PGA Tour and the European Tour. Since 1898 the competition has been 72 holes of stroke play (4 rounds on an 18-hole course), with the winner being the player with the lowest total number of strokes. It is staged by the United States Golf Association (USGA) in mid-June, scheduled so that, if there are no weather delays, the final round is played on the third Sunday. The U.S. Open is staged at a variety of courses, set up in such a way that scoring is very difficult, with a premium placed on accurate driving. As of 2024, the U.S. Open awards a $21.5 million purse, the largest of all four major championships.

The Real World?
The Real World? is a 1987 play written by Canadian playwright Michel Tremblay. Originally written in French, under the title Le Vrai Monde?, it was later translated into English by John Van Burek and Bill Glassco.

It is about a young playwright named Claude, who writes his own mother and father into his first play. His parents, however, do not believe it to be an accurate representation of them, as we switch from his real parents to Claude's imagined reality as portrayed in his fictitious play.

The Real Wurld?, a Tron Theatre production of a translation of the play into contemporary Scots by Bill Findlay and Martin Bowman, was staged as part of Glasgow Mayfest in 1991.

The play received two Dora Mavor Moore Award nominations for Outstanding New Play, in 1988 for the original French version and in 1989 for the English translation.

2022 in Ukraine
The following is a list of events from the year 2022 in Ukraine.

This year most notably saw the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine to the north in the Chernihiv, Kyiv, and Zhytomyr Oblasts, from the east into the Donetsk, Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Sumy Oblasts, and from the previously occupied Crimea to the south into the Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts. Ukraine's refusal to surrender its capital and support from its allies led to Russia withdrawing from its northern occupied territories in April, and successful Ukrainian eastern and southern counteroffensives in September and November which largely stabilized the frontline.

The war continued into the following year primarily in the Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson Oblasts, despite an internationally condemned and widely unrecognized Russian referendum annexing the oblasts in September.

Rubizhne
Rubizhne (Ukrainian: Рубіжне, IPA: [rʊˈbiʒne] ⓘ; Russian: Рубежное, romanized: Rubezhnoye, IPA: [rʊˈbʲeʐnəjə]) is a city in Luhansk Oblast, in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine. Situated on the left bank of the Donets River near the cities of Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk. Prior to 2020, it was a city of oblast significance, before the designation was abolished.

In 2014, at the start of the war in Donbas, Rubizhne was contested between Ukrainian and pro-Russian separatist forces. From mid-2014 until early 2022, the city was under control of Ukrainian forces. From early 2022 it has been under Russian control following their victory in the Battle of Rubizhne. Russia claimed Rubizhne as part of their Luhansk People's Republic since its annexation of the region in September 2022.

The city had an estimated population of 56,247, as of January 2022, its current population is unknown.
