Mayors in England
In England, the offices of mayor and lord mayor have long been ceremonial posts, with few or no duties attached to them. In recent years, they have doubled as more influential political roles while retaining the ceremonial functions. A mayor's term of office denotes the municipal year.

Traditionally mayors and provosts have been elected by town, borough and city councils. Since 2000, several districts now have directly elected mayors with extensive powers. The role of the chair of a district council is exactly the same as the mayor of a borough council; they have the same status as first citizen, after the Sovereign, in their district, but they are not addressed as mayor. There are also devolved regional metro Mayors responsible for combined authorities over larger regional-based geographic areas, which are completely different and more powerful.

Jim Roberts (cricketer)
James Brown Roberts (11 October 1933 — 15 April 2021) was a Scottish first-class cricketer.

Roberts was born at Dundee in October 1933. He was educated at the Royal High School, Edinburgh. Roberts initially played his club cricket for the East of Scotland, before moving to Clydesdale Cricket Club when he moved to Glasgow for his work in the finance industry. He made his debut for Scotland in first-class cricket against Yorkshire at Hull in 1956, with Roberts playing first-class cricket for Scotland on a further nine occasions to 1959. Playing primarily as a seam bowler, he took 13 wickets at an average of 33.38, with best figures of 3 for 70.

Seam bowling
Seam bowling is a bowling technique in cricket, in which the ball is deliberately bowled to hit the ground on its seam, to cause a random deviation when it bounces. A bowler who uses this technique is called a seam bowler or seamer.

Seam bowling is a form of fast bowling, although seam can also be a factor in medium-pace bowling. Although there are specialist seamers that make deliberate use of off cutter and leg cutter at the expense of bowling slower than regular fast bowlers, most bowlers employ the seam to some effect and so the terms "seamer" and "fast bowler" are largely synonymous. This was far less the case in the past, even the recent past. Bowlers such as Tom Cartwright and Derek Shackleton bowled seamers at a pace in the low 70mphs and were very successful due to their mastery of control and variation.

Physics education
Physics education or physics teaching refers to the education methods currently used to teach physics. The occupation is called physics educator or physics teacher. Physics education research refers to an area of pedagogical research that seeks to improve those methods. Historically, physics has been taught at the high school and college level primarily by the lecture method together with laboratory exercises aimed at verifying concepts taught in the lectures. These concepts are better understood when lectures are accompanied with demonstration, hand-on experiments, and questions that require students to ponder what will happen in an experiment and why. Students who participate in active learning for example with hands-on experiments learn through self-discovery. By trial and error they learn to change their preconceptions about phenomena in physics and discover the underlying concepts. Physics education is part of the broader area of science education.
