Collinson was the son of a Yorkshire farmer and joined the stable of Christopher Jackson at Middleham as a young boy, where he learnt to ride "in a masterly Yorkshire style"

In 1808, he won the Derby on a 20/1 outsider, Pan, by half a length at odds from a field of ten for a prize of £1,260. He was somewhat fortunate to win, as the jockey on the runner-up, Bill Clift, had failed to notice Collinson's challenge until it was too late. In winning the Derby, however, he paid a fatal price. On his way to Epsom for the race, he slept in a damp bed at an inn and contracted the illness that would kill him.

Dorsey, the "father of gospel music." However, the minutes of the 1921 National Baptist Convention confirm that Nix's brother, William Nix, Jr., was actually the influence on Dorsey. Accordingly, nearly all of A.W.'s sermons have been reissued on Document Records and compilation albums.

Timekeeping in games
Timekeeping is relevant to many types of games, including video games, tabletop role-playing games, board games, and sports. The passage of time must be handled in a way that players find fair and easy to understand. In many games, this is done using real-time and/or turn-based timekeeping. In real-time games, time within the game passes continuously. However, in turn-based games, player turns represent a fixed duration within the game, regardless of how much time passes in the real world. Some games use combinations of real-time and turn-based timekeeping systems. Players debate the merits and flaws of these systems. There are also additional timekeeping methods, such as timelines and progress clocks.
