Impressive (horse)
Impressive (April 15, 1969 – March 20, 1995) was born an Appendix American Quarter Horse, who earned his full AQHA registration in 1971. He was the 1974 World Champion Open Aged halter stallion, the first such World Champion in his breed, despite carrying only 48 halter points in total. He is famous for his highly successful progeny, having sired 2,250 foals. Nearly thirty of his offspring went on to be World Champions themselves.
Impressive is also notorious as the primary source of the widespread genetic disease known as hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HYPP).
In his showing days, Impressive changed hands a number of times, perhaps his most famous owner being Dean Landers, | 6,131,011 |
536795 | Impressive (horse) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Impressive%20(horse) | Impressive (horse)
who also owned the famous halter stallions Two Eyed Jack, Coy's Bonanza, and Sonny Dee Bar. Although Impressive raced for a short time after Landers sold him to Fennel Brown, he was quickly excluded from any performance discipline due to pedal osteitis, leaving halter as his only choice. His groundbreaking 1974 World Championship soon cemented his role in that discipline. Each time Impressive was resold, his price rose quickly; at one point, an offer of $300,000 for him was refused by Brown, who said "ain't nobody in this world got enough money to buy this horse."
Impressive was highly sought after for breeding, despite at one time carrying the outrageously high stud fee of $25,000. He sired | 6,131,012 |
536795 | Impressive (horse) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Impressive%20(horse) | Impressive (horse)
a total of 2,250 foals, and as of 2003, was estimated to have in excess of 55,000 living descendants. He was bred for his muscular and refined form, which was passed on to his get often enough to make him at least the #5 all-time leading Quarter Horse sire when ranked by AQHA points earned by all progeny combined. Perhaps his greatest foal is Noble Tradition, a four-time World Champion stallion in halter, who has gone on to be a highly successful sire himself.
Although Impressive was not known to have exhibited any symptoms of the disease himself, gradually it became evident that many horses tracing to Impressive were afflicted with the painful, alarming, and often fatal disease hyperkalemic | 6,131,013 |
536795 | Impressive (horse) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Impressive%20(horse) | Impressive (horse)
periodic paralysis (HYPP). Further, it has never been observed in horses not descendants of his line. HYPP is a dominant gene, and as such, all animals with even one copy of the gene, identified as "N/H", will exhibits some symptoms of the disease. Horses with two copies, identified as "H/H." will always pass on the condition, and research suggests that H/H horses may have more severe symptoms than N/H horses.
After a number of years of debate, effective since January 1, 2007, the AQHA amended rule 205(c)(3) and rule Rule 227(e) to require all descendants of Impressive to be tested prior to being registered, and ban from registration all horses born after January 1, 2007 with HYPP genetics | 6,131,014 |
536795 | Impressive (horse) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Impressive%20(horse) | Impressive (horse)
confirmed by DNA testing to be homozygous for the condition (H/H).
However, other breed registries that accept animals with Quarter Horse bloodlines, including the American Paint Horse Association and the Appaloosa Horse Club, have yet to bar such animals. There is currently a widespread effort among many breeders to eliminate the disease by selective breeding, but there are those who continue to breed without regard for it, seeking the muscular enhancement correlated with it, and in doing so perpetuate the disease's existence.

Mitsou
Mitsou Annie Marie Gélinas (born September 1, 1970 in Loretteville, Quebec) is a Canadian pop singer, businesswoman, television and radio host, and actress. She is credited as Mitsou Gélinas when acting, but records simply as Mitsou (the French spelling of "Mitsu", which means honey in Japanese).
# Biography.
Born in Loretteville, Quebec, Mitsou is the granddaughter of Quebec actor Gratien Gélinas. She got involved in acting and modelling as a child, but also began to pursue singing in her teenage years.
In 1988, she signed with Canadian independent Isba Records and released her first single, "Bye Bye Mon Cowboy" (composed and produced by Jean-Pierre Isaac), which became a smash pop | 6,131,017 |
536786 | Mitsou | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitsou | Mitsou
hit across Canada (an extremely rare feat for a francophone song). Later that year, she followed with her debut, multicultural-themed album, "El Mundo" which also spawned the singles "La Corrida" and "Les Chinois".
In 1990, she released her follow-up album, "Terre des hommes". Ivan Doroschuk (of Men Without Hats) wrote the title track in addition to her first English-language song "A Funny Place (The World Is)". She also changed her image by dyeing her hair reddish-brown instead of her trademark blonde.
The first single, "Mademoiselle Anne", failed to replicate her cross-Canada success, but in 1991 the second single, "Dis-moi, dis-moi", put Mitsou back in the spotlight with a controversial | 6,131,018 |
536786 | Mitsou | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitsou | Mitsou
video that showed her and several male and female models nude in a shower room. The video, which was released only a few months after Madonna's "Justify My Love", was banned from regular rotation by MuchMusic as the Madonna video had been — technically, the video was not fully banned from the network, as the programming committee ruled that the late-night program "City Limits" was allowed to play it, but as a mainstream pop song incompatible with the show's alternative rock format, the program refused to do so.
Notably, the video for "Dis-moi, dis-moi" was not banned on Much's French-language sister station MusiquePlus, but in fact was placed in heavy rotation; Mitsou's manager Pierre Gendron | 6,131,019 |
536786 | Mitsou | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitsou | Mitsou
attributed the difference to English Canada being more prudish than Quebec.
Having banned two high-profile pop videos within a few months of each other, MuchMusic created a new occasional late-night series, "Too Much 4 Much", on which they would play banned videos along with forum and panel discussions on the controversies these videos raised. Due to the controversy, Mitsou's single was played across Canada even though the lyrics (which Mitsou co-wrote) were exclusively in French.
Her 1992 follow-up EP, "Heading West", was a collection of past hits and new material in English and French. Despite a title track co-written by Cyndi Lauper, and the radio and video play given the dance-driven single | 6,131,020 |
536786 | Mitsou | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitsou | Mitsou
"Deep Kiss", it failed to generate a substantial pop hit. In 1993, she followed it up with her first full-English album "Tempted". Although the lead single was written by RuPaul ("Everybody Say Love"), the album again failed to give her a significant hit. The video for "Everybody Say Love" featured nudity (as well as homosexuality) but failed to stir any media attention.
Subsequently, she returned to recording primarily French-language material for her 1994 album "Ya Ya" (with the track "Ya Ya" a Lee Dorsey cover) which included cover versions of songs popular in Quebec in the '60s and '70s, such as the title track and "Comme j'ai toujours envie d'aimer" (a Marc Hamilton cover). She also released | 6,131,021 |
536786 | Mitsou | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitsou | Mitsou
a Christmas album entitled "Noel" in 1995 that included some Quebec holiday classics.
After a hiatus, her next album, "Mitsou (Éponyme)" (1999), featured hip-hop-influenced beats and a street-oriented rock sound. She also co-wrote and co-produced all the tracks. A club-oriented EP "Vibe" followed in 2002. It features remixes of previous material such as "Bye Bye Mon Cowboy" (which was re-recorded and released as a single) and "Money Penny".
# Other achievements.
Mitsou acted in a number of Quebec films, most recently in Denys Arcand's Academy Award-winning "Les invasions barbares". She was top billed in 1992's "Coyote", which was a major release in Quebec (released during her popularity as | 6,131,022 |
536786 | Mitsou | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitsou | Mitsou
a singer, she was billed as simply Mitsou for this release). She wrote the song "Le Toucher" for the film "The Bone Collector".
In 2000, Mitsou joined "C’t’encore drôle", the morning show on Énergie 94.3 FM) in Montreal. She was an instant hit, as evidenced by the show’s high ratings and enormous popularity with 18- to 34-year-olds who have made it the number one morning show for 10 years straight. By June 15, 2012, Mitsou left the morning show of the station after 12 years. On August 20, 2012, Gélinas revealed that she signed on to join the rival CFGL-FM as the drive home co-host but won't begin her duties until November.
Since 2001 she has been the editor of a Quebec magazine for young women, | 6,131,023 |
536786 | Mitsou | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitsou | Mitsou
"Clin d'oeil". In 2005, she hosted the show "Au Courant" on CBC Newsworld, an English-language program that focuses on "what's hot and happening in French Canada."
In February 2009, it was announced that Mitsou would become the "beauty ambassador" for Lise Watier, a Canadian-based cosmetics and skincare product line, and would subsequently appear in the company's advertising campaigns.
In 2009, she hosted "Comment va ta famille?", a documentary series that portrays the state of the family in Quebec in 2008-09, and television magazine "La liste", produced by Marie-France Bazzo for ARTV. She also joined the cast of "L’Enfant Prodige", a movie about pianist André Mathieu, in which she played | 6,131,024 |
536786 | Mitsou | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitsou | Mitsou
Vivianne Jobin, one of Mathieu's mistresses.
In fall 2009, she began serving as a presenter for the TV program "Kampaï! À votre santé", a show on healthy cooking and dining, for Radio-Canada.
In August 2010, Mitsou married her partner of 15 years, Iohann Martin, in a "surprise wedding" that he had organized without her knowledge for her 40th birthday. They are the parents of two daughters.
Mitsou will begin releasing new singles via her website as the inspiration strikes her. The first of these is a collaboration between Mitsou and Creature entitle "On vole", and was released in 2011.

Yusufzai
The Yūsufzai, (literally "The descendants of Yusuf" (also spelled as Yousafzai), is a tribe of Pashtun people found in Pakistan, and in some eastern parts of Afghanistan, as well as in northern India.
# History and particulars.
## Mughal Empire.
In general, the Yusufzai were uncooperative with the rule of the Mughal emepror Akbar, who in late 1585 sent military forces under Zain Khan Koka and Raja Bir Bar to subdue them. In February 1586, Raja Bir Bar was killed fighting with the Yusufzais, who were led by the general Gujju Khan. It was not until about 1690 that they were partially brought under the control of the Mughal Empire.
Yusufzai tribes rose against Mughal rule during the | 6,131,031 |
536799 | Yusufzai | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yusufzai | Yusufzai
Yusufzai Revolt of 1667, and engaged in pitched-battles with Mughal battalions near Attock.

Pride Park Stadium
Pride Park Stadium, commonly known as Pride Park, is an all-seater football stadium in Derby, England, that is the home ground of English Football League club Derby County. With a capacity of 33,597, it is the 16th-largest football ground in England and the 20th-largest stadium in the United Kingdom. Located on Pride Park, a business park on the outskirts of Derby city centre, the stadium was built as part of the commercial redevelopment of the area in the 1990s. Derby County have played at the ground since it opened in 1997 as a replacement for their former home, the Baseball Ground. Due to sponsorship, the venue was officially known as the iPro Stadium between 2013 and 2016.
Pride | 6,131,034 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
Park has hosted two full international matches, England vs. Mexico in 2001 and Brazil vs. Ukraine in 2010, and several England under-21 matches. It was also the venue of the 2009 FA Women's Cup Final.
# History.
## Planning and development.
Before moving to the Pride Park Stadium, Derby County had played at the Baseball Ground since 1895. Although at its peak the ground had held over 40,000 (the record attendance being 41,826 for a match against Tottenham Hotspur in 1969) the Taylor Report, actioned after the 1989 Hillsborough Disaster had seen the legal requirement for English football stadia to become all-seater by 1994–95 season resulting in its capacity dwindling to just 17,500 by the | 6,131,035 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
mid-1990s, not enough for the then-ambitious second tier club. An additional problem came with the ground's wooden components (considered unacceptable in the wake of the Bradford City stadium fire in 1985) and, in February 1996, chairman Lionel Pickering made the decision to move the club to a new stadium, having originally planned to rebuild the Baseball Ground as a 26,000-seat stadium.
The club originally planned to build a purpose-built 30,000-seat stadium at Pride Park, with 4,000 car parking spaces, restaurant and conference facilities, a fitness centre, a supporters club and new training ground. A year later the stadium plan was changed to become part of a £46 million project by the Stadivarios | 6,131,036 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
group that would also include a 10,000-seat indoor arena. Peter Gadsby, however, the club's associate director at the time and head of the Miller Birch construction company, felt the project was both too ambitious and expensive and instead plans were drawn up by new Chairman Lionel Pickering to modernise and extend the Baseball Ground to hold 26,000, at a cost of £10 million. However, despite signing a construction agreement with Taylor Woodrow, Gadsby suggested the club make a second attempt at securing the then-redeveloping Pride Park business park, settling with Derby City Council for a smaller site than previously agreed. On 21 February 1996, prior to a match against Luton Town at The Baseball | 6,131,037 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
Ground, the club announced to supporters the decision to move to a £16 million state-of-the-art stadium for the start of the 1997–98 season.
Derby City Council were paid £1.8 million for the land and the club's four directors – Lionel Pickering, Peter Gadsby, Stuart Webb and John Kirkland each paid £2.5 million towards a package deal to pay for the stadium. The stadium itself was based upon Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium, which opened in 1995, though it had more than 30 amendments to the original plans. After toying with the idea of naming the new ground "The New Baseball Ground", it was settled that the club's new home would be called The Pride Park Stadium.
## Construction.
Engaging | 6,131,038 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
the same architects as Middlesbrough (The Miller Partnership) Derby's plans predominantly followed those of the Riverside Stadium, with the first stage being a detached main stand facing a horseshoe running unbroken round the other three sides, with the possibility of the corners being filled in later and the ground's capacity being increased if and when necessary by raising the horseshoe roof.
Pickering laid the foundation stone in November 1995 and, after decontamination, the first of the more than 1,000 pre-cast concrete piles was sunk in September 1996. This was followed by 6,500 tonnes of concrete and more than 2,100 tonnes of steelwork as the ground began to take shape. Tapping into the | 6,131,039 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
excitement amongst supporters, the club set up a visitors centre which included a computer-generated tour of the stadium taking shape and attracted more than 75,000 fans. The opportunity was also made available for supporters to buy special bricks – on to which they could engrave a message of their choosing – which would be set around the outside of the completed stadium.
The weather of the 1996 winter was not kind to the contractors but extra urgency was provided by the news that the stadium was to be opened by the Queen. This news – the first time the Queen had opened a new football stadium – ensured that the workers, at one point behind schedule, had to pull out all of the stops to get the | 6,131,040 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
stadium completed in time. The pitch stood at long and wide, meeting the requirements for an international venue, and measured longer and wider than the pitch at the Baseball Ground. It also came with a grass margin.
## Opening.
The Queen opened the stadium on 18 July 1997 in front of 30,000 spectators. By this time the south west corner, which stood between the main stand and the horseshoe, had been completed. The interest from potential corporate clients had been so high that Pickering pressed the board to go the full distance with the stadium, raising the final initial costs of completing the stadium to £22 million. Work was still in progress on the remaining corner on the opening day, | 6,131,041 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
leaving Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh to jokingly ask Taylor Woodrow contract manager Ross Walters, "Haven't you been paid yet?" An overture to the opening ceremony came two weeks later, on 4 August 1997, with the first ever game at Pride Park Stadium being played against Italian side Sampdoria, the match ending in a 1–0 defeat with Vincenzo Montella scoring the only goal of the game. The attendance of 29,041 was the highest for a Derby County home game in 20 years. The fixture kicked off a tradition of pre-season friendlies being held against European teams at the ground, with Barcelona (twice), CSKA Moscow, Athletic Bilbao, Lazio, Ajax and Mallorca all visiting the stadium over the next | 6,131,042 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
six years.
The first competitive fixture to be completed at the new stadium came on 30 August 1997 and ended in a 1–0 win against Barnsley in front of 27,232, with Stefano Eranio scoring the only goal from the penalty spot. The stadium's inaugural competitive fixture against Wimbledon was called off with the score at 2–1 after the floodlights went out in the 11th minute of the second half. Referee Uriah Rennie abandoned the match following a delay of more than half-an-hour while engineers tried unsuccessfully to restart two failed generators. Gadsby said, "We had 11 maintenance people on duty including six electricians but nobody has yet worked out why both generators failed. There was a bang | 6,131,043 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
of such strength that it fused them both." This proved to be the only major problem with the new stadium, which delivered everything which had been promised of it and went on to gain international recognition. Later additions to the ground raised the capacity to 33,597 and a final cost of £28 million.
## Ownership issues.
Although the financing of the stadium's construction was carefully structured so that the club paid and owned the ground without encroaching on funds reserved for the development of the team, the club's eventual relegation from the top flight in 2002 saw it enter financial crisis and eventually it was temporarily entered into receivership by The Co-operative Bank, who instantly | 6,131,044 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
installed a new board composed of John Sleightholme, Jeremy Keith and Steve Harding, for the cost of £1 each. Financial circumstances worsened as the debt spiralled to £30 million plus and an unpopular refinancing scheme was put in place which saw the stadium sold to the "mysterious" Panama-based ABC Corporation and the club paying rent of £1 million a year to play there, which local journalist Gerald Mortimer described as "an affront ... to those who put everything into building [the ground]". The ownership trio of Sleightholme, Keith and Harding were dubbed "The Three Amigos" and, after came under increasing criticism from the Derby's support, in the form of two separate supporters groups, | 6,131,045 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
the RamsTrust and the Rams Protest Group (RPG), they eventually sold out to a group of local businessmen, dubbed "The League of Gentlemen" by the local press, led by former board member Peter Gadsby, in April 2006. The Gadsby-led consortium returned Pride Park to club ownership. Three years later, Murdo Mackay, Jeremy Keith and finance director Andrew McKenzie were charged with taking a secret commission worth £440,625 from the club and were sentenced to a combined seven-and-a-half years in prison. As of August 2009, the club still owed £15 million on the mortgage of the Pride Park Stadium which was later revealed to be due to be paid off in 2016.
## Pride Plaza redevelopment and ground expansion.
During | 6,131,046 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
the 2006–07 season, in which Derby earned promotion back to the Premier League after five years, the club released details of a proposed £20 million development of the area surrounding the stadium, to include the building of a 165-bed hotel, bars, restaurants and office space, to create a local service centre for employers located on the Pride Park business park. Three squares would also be introduced which would be named after legendary figures associated with the club – all-time leading goalscorer Steve Bloomer, the club's greatest manager Brian Clough and former chairman Lionel Pickering, who had died in 2006. The club insisted no money would be taken away from the team to pay for the development. | 6,131,047 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
On 9 November 2007, Derby City Council agreed to let the plans go ahead. Following promotion to the Premier League in the 2006–07 season, the club announced plans to expand the capacity of the stadium up to 44,000 for the start of the 2008–09 season, if the club successfully survived. The plans included adding rows of seats to the north, south and east stands and would have allowed the club to break its current club record attendance. The club, however, failed to maintain its top-flight status and when, in January 2008, was sold into new American ownership, in the form of General Sports and Entertainment both the plaza plan and the ground expansion initiatives were scrapped.
In 2008, a nine-foot-high | 6,131,048 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
bronze statue of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor – who had managed the club between 1967 and 1973 – was commissioned to adorn the north west portion of the ground to be called Unity Plaza. The statue was designed by Andrew Edwards and features both Clough and Taylor holding the League Championship trophy which they won with the club in 1972. It was unveiled on 27 August 2010.
## 2018 World Cup and 2012 Olympic bids.
In 2009, Pride Park was earmarked as a possible FIFA World Cup venue when Derby County announced its intention to apply to be one of the host cities as part of England's bid for the 2018 World Cup Finals, with Derby chief executive Tom Glick saying, "What we [the board] know is that | 6,131,049 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
Derby already has the core elements to be a host city ... We are going to find out what the requirements are but we are certainly expecting that the requirement would be at least 40,000 seats. The ability to do that at Pride Park Stadium exists, the land exists. So we know that if we were successful, that is something that could be done." To qualify as a host stadium, the ground would need to expand to at least 40,000 capacity and the club announced that three methods could be undertaken to achieve this, two of which would leave the stadium permanently expanded. Option A would see the additional capacity supplied by temporary stands erected behind each goal, removing the current roof, and be | 6,131,050 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
supported by steel structures, with all the stands removed after the World Cup and the original roofing replaced. Option B would also see temporary seating built in the north and south stands as well as an additional structure placed on the east stand which the club could choose to keep, increasing the capacity to 39,000. The final Option, C, would see the removal of seating from the north, south and east stands and three new 20 row decks placed in each stand. This again came with the option of retaining the east stand expansion, raising the stadium capacity to a permanent 37,000. The club itself stated that it preferred to explore temporary, rather than permanent, expansion, saying "We'd like | 6,131,051 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
to meet the World Cup standards for matches when it comes to expansion but then perhaps scale down the stadium to something closer to where we are right now. That way, we can keep the intimacy and special atmosphere that has almost become a hallmark of going to a Derby County match. When the team play at home, having a full stadium is a huge advantage because it creates a brilliant atmosphere. What we wouldn't want to do is have a stadium that all of a sudden was too big after the World Cup had gone." On 16 December 2009, Derby's campaign was rejected by the FA, along with Hull and Leicester to local rival bid by Nottingham Forest. Tom Glick later commented, "We're all greatly disappointed. | 6,131,052 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
Thousands of hours of hard work has been put in across the city from a number of agencies. We need to get some feedback as to why the bid was not successful."
The club was later unsuccessful in its attempt to be the Midlands football venue for the 2012 Summer Olympics, losing out to Coventry City's Ricoh Arena, with the selection committee citing the fact the stadium "has fewer dressing rooms and no hotel" in comparison to the Coventry-based stadium.
## Additional ground developments.
On 17 January 2009, a bust of Steve Bloomer was unveiled next to the home dugout.
## The Plaza @ Pride Park development.
On 3 October 2011, Derby County announced that they had submitted plans to Derby City | 6,131,053 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
Council for a £7 million development of land outside the stadium, which the club named "The Plaza @ Pride Park".
These plans include five cafes/restaurants, two convenience stores and 2,000 square metres of office space. These plans have been scaled down from the planned £20 million pound development proposed in 2007. Derby County CEO Tom Glick said that these plans would help the club deal with the new Financial Fair Play regulations which will be introduced in the Football League from 2012, as revenue from the plaza will be reinvested back into the club.
This planned development also coincides with a plan from the city council to build a multi-use sports arena on the same site as the proposed | 6,131,054 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
plaza.
On 12 January 2012, Derby City Council's planning control committee gave planning permission for the development, Derby County chief executive Tom Glick said that the club had moved to the next stage of the development, finding a development company to build the plaza.
It was announced on 3 May 2013 that the first phase was to be launched after the last game of the 2012–13 season when Derby County faced Milwall. Located in the north east corner of the stadium and close to the DCFC megastore, the initial phase will provide a mixture of retail and restaurant units totalling 7,000sq.ft. The development is being undertaken jointly by the club and Cedar House Investments, part of former | 6,131,055 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
chairman Peter Gadsby's Ark Capital group of companies. John Vicars, chief operating officer at Derby County, welcomed the launch by saying, "We see this development attracting perhaps a convenience retailer, and a restaurant to complement the facilities already available on Pride Park and to provide a greater choice. With the opening of the new multi-use sports arena and velodrome adjacent to the club, there will be even greater demand for these facilities." Peter Gadsby said: "The area is already a proven destination for leading occupiers including Greggs, Frankie & Benny's, Subway and Starbucks. I am particularly keen that this scheme will add to the success of Pride Park and provide further | 6,131,056 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
amenities for the 10,000 people that are working in the area. It is good news that this phase of the development will create a further 25 jobs."
A phase 2 of the plaza will be considered once the velodrome has opened and will add further to the vitality and vibrancy of Pride Park. Derby-based FHP have been appointed as letting agents for the scheme.
## Renaming the stadium.
On 7 December 2013, Pride Park was renamed the iPro Stadium in a £7 million sponsorship deal with global sports' drink company iPro. The club announced the cancellation of the sponsorship deal on 18 November 2016, reverting the stadium's name back to Pride Park.

# Non-Derby County matches.
As one of the largest football grounds in the Midlands, Pride Park has also hosted some notable matches not connected to Derby County.
Pride Park has hosted one full England international; a 4–0 friendly victory over Mexico on 25 May 2001, when the national side toured the country during the building of the new Wembley | 6,131,058 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
Stadium. The match also holds the record for the highest attendance at the stadium: a full-house of 33,598.
The ground has hosted six England U21 matches. The results were as follows;
Partly as a result of Derby's successful hosting of international U21 football, Pride Park was selected as a host venue as part of the English bid to host the 2013 European U21s Championship.
Away from the England national side, the stadium hosted a friendly between Brazil and Ukraine on 11 October 2010. The match ended in a 2–0 victory for Brazil, with Dani Alves and Alexandre Pato scoring the goals, in front of a crowd of 13,088 live spectators and TV viewers in over 100 countries. Though Brazil coach Mano | 6,131,059 |
536759 | Pride Park Stadium | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pride%20Park%20Stadium | Pride Park Stadium
Menezes bemoaned the low turnout ("I expected more fans but I think it was a good game") though Derby chief executive Tom Glick declared himself relatively pleased with the turnout, saying "I think everybody was hoping that we'd have a sold out crowd of over 30,000 but, realistically, time was working against us. We only had 13 days to sell the tickets and a big crowd just wasn't on the cards. But I think we've proven that we can turn it around, operationally. The promoter, Kentaro, has seen that. So we have done ourselves a favour in terms of bringing something else like this back again and we will continue to pursue things like this."
Away from international football, on 4 May 2009 Pride | 6,131,060 |

# Notable non-football events.
Although primarily a football venue, Pride Park Stadium has also hosted events away from sport. It first hosted singer Rod Stewart on 26 June 2005 while touring his "" album. This was followed by Red Hot Chili Peppers, who played at the ground as part of the tour for their "Stadium Arcadium" album on 5 June 2006. Monster Jam came to Pride Park Stadium on 28 & 29 May 2011.

536807 | Indenture | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indenture | Indenture
Indenture
An indenture is a legal contract that reflects or covers a debt or purchase obligation. It specifically refers to two types of practices: in historical usage, an indentured servant status, and in modern usage, it is an instrument used for commercial debt or real estate transaction.
# Historical usage.
An indenture is a legal contract between two parties, particularly for indentured labour or a term of apprenticeship but also for certain land transactions. The term comes from the medieval English "indenture of retainer" — a legal contract written in duplicate on the same sheet, with the copies separated by cutting along a jagged (toothed, hence the term "indenture") line so that the | 6,131,062 |
536807 | Indenture | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indenture | Indenture
teeth of the two parts could later be refitted to confirm authenticity (Chirograph). Each party to the deed would then retain a part. When the agreement was made before a court of law a "tripartite" indenture was made, with the third piece kept at the court. The term is used for any kind of deed executed by more than one party, in contrast to a deed poll which is made by one individual. In the case of bonds, the indenture shows the pledge, promises, representations and covenants of the issuing party.
Although other evidence indicates that the method has been in use from around the year 1000, the earliest surviving examples in England are from the thirteenth century. These are agreements for | 6,131,063 |
536807 | Indenture | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indenture | Indenture
military service, proving that a paid contract army was then in existence. Exchequer records of Henry V's French campaign of 1415 (the Agincourt campaign), including the indentures of all the captains of the army agreeing to provide specified numbers of men and at what cost, may still be read. An indenture was commonly used as a form of sealed contract or agreement for land and buildings. An example of such a use can be found in the National Archives, where an indenture, from about 1401, recording the transfer of the manor of Pinley, Warwickshire, is held.
In the early history of the United States, many European immigrants served a period of indentured labour in order to pay the cost of their | 6,131,064 |
536807 | Indenture | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indenture | Indenture
transportation. This practice was common during the 17th and 18th centuries, where over half of immigrants worked off an average of three years' servitude.
# Modern usage.
"Bond indenture" (also "trust indenture" or "deed of trust") is a legal document issued to lenders and describes key terms such as the interest rate, maturity date, convertibility, pledge, promises, representations, covenants, and other terms of the bond offering. When the offering memorandum is prepared in advance of marketing a bond, the indenture will typically be summarised in the "description of notes" section.
In the United States, public debt offerings in excess of $10 million require the use of an indenture of trust | 6,131,065 |
536807 | Indenture | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indenture | Indenture
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. The rationale for this is that it is necessary to establish a collective action mechanism under which creditors can collect in a fair, orderly manner if default takes place (like that which occurs during bankruptcy). No trust relationship exists between the bondholder and the issuing corporation. These two are in a regular contractual, arm's length, non-fiduciary, non-equity relationship. Rather, the trustee in a "trust indenture" is a third party, usually a specialist company, who is appointed by the issuer to handle and safeguard the interests of the numerous public bondholders, in events ranging from the usual distribution of coupons and principal payments | 6,131,066 |

lly a specialist company, who is appointed by the issuer to handle and safeguard the interests of the numerous public bondholders, in events ranging from the usual distribution of coupons and principal payments to dealing with the issuer's default, if any occurs.

HMS Bristol (D23)
HMS "Bristol" (D23) is a Type 82 destroyer, the only vessel of her class to be built for the Royal Navy. Originally intended as the first of a class of large destroyers to escort the CVA-01 aircraft carriers projected to come into service in the early 1970s, "Bristol" turned out to be a unique ship: the rest of the class were cancelled with the CVA-01 carriers in the 1966 Strategic Defence Review. Following a long career which included the Falklands War, she was converted into a training ship in 1987 and continues to serve in that role. HMS "Bristol" is named after the English city of Bristol.

The CVA-01 fleet aircraft carrier was designed to replace the World War | 6,131,068 |

II vintage aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy. The first plans were for two carriers and to protect these carriers four new Type 82 area air defence destroyers were to be built. In 1963, the then Minister of Defence Peter Thorneycroft, announced in Parliament that one new aircraft carrier would be built, at an estimated cost of £56 million. However, a change of government and competition from the RAF (the RAF and Navy were both expected to use the Hawker P.1154 supersonic V/STOL aircraft, a larger version of the Hawker Siddeley Harrier) saw the project being cancelled in the 1966 Defence White Paper. This eliminated the requirement for the Type 82 class destroyer. However, one vessel of the | 6,131,069 |
536787 | HMS Bristol (D23) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HMS%20Bristol%20(D23) | HMS Bristol (D23)
original four was ordered on 4 October 1966 for use as a testbed for new technologies. HMS "Bristol" was launched in 1969, with four new weapons and electronics systems.
# Construction.
"Bristol" hull was laid down by Swan Hunter & Tyne Shipbuilders Ltd on 15 November 1967. She was launched on 30 June 1969, accepted into service on 15 December 1972 and then commissioned on 31 March 1973. Her estimated building cost was £24,217,000.
# Weapon systems.
"Bristol" saw a number of new systems introduced into the Navy, including the Sea Dart anti-aircraft and Ikara anti-submarine missile systems and was the first Royal Navy ship to carry the 4.5 inch (114 mm) Mk 8 gun. Another addition to the fleet | 6,131,070 |
536787 | HMS Bristol (D23) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HMS%20Bristol%20(D23) | HMS Bristol (D23)
was the new advanced Action Data Automated Weapons System Mk.2 (ADAWS-2), a computer system designed to coordinate the ship's weapons and sensors. ADAWS-2 was a large advance on the rudimentary action information system of its predecessor the s, which was heavily reliant on manual data input.
The Sea Dart (GWS 30) system comprised a twin-arm launcher on the quarterdeck with a pair of radar Type 909 target illumination sets, an improvement over the single radar Type 901 set of the County design. The second weapon system was the Australian Ikara anti-submarine weapon. Ikara was a rocket-powered carrier that could deliver a small homing torpedo out to from the ship. The Ikara was complemented | 6,131,071 |
536787 | HMS Bristol (D23) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HMS%20Bristol%20(D23) | HMS Bristol (D23)
by a Mark 10 "Limbo" anti-submarine mortar.
The single 4.5 inch (113 mm) Mark 8 gun was not intended as an anti-aircraft weapon, and as such had an elevation of only 55°. The weapon was designed specifically for reliability over rate of fire, allowing only a single mounting to be shipped, and the comparatively low rate of fire of 25 rounds per minute was ample for the intended anti-ship and shore-bombardment roles. "Bristol", although capable of landing a Westland Wasp helicopter on the quarterdeck, lacked a hangar and aviation facilities and thus had to rely on external air support.
# Active service.
The role which "Bristol" was built for never materialised, and she consequently spent most | 6,131,072 |
536787 | HMS Bristol (D23) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HMS%20Bristol%20(D23) | HMS Bristol (D23)
of her service in the 1970s trialling and building up experience using new weapons and computer systems. A major boiler fire in 1974 destroyed the steam plant. Older ships might have been crippled by this, but "Bristol" was able to operate for three years using only her gas plant, demonstrating its flexibility and utility. The steam plant was repaired in 1976. In 1979 she was fitted out for frontline service with ECM, Corvus countermeasures launchers and a pair of World War II-era Oerlikon 20 mm cannon. During this refit the Limbo weapon was removed; its well was later used as a makeshift swimming pool.
## Falklands War (1982).
"Bristol" was suitable for use as a flagship as she was large | 6,131,073 |
536787 | HMS Bristol (D23) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HMS%20Bristol%20(D23) | HMS Bristol (D23)
enough to embark the extra staff members necessary for this role. She served as the Royal Navy flagship during the 1981 "Ocean Safari" exercise. After a short refit, during which the mortar well was plated over to allow the landing of large helicopters on the quarterdeck, she joined the Royal Navy task force in the South Atlantic in the 1982 Falklands War. "Bristol" led the Bristol group of reinforcement ships south and then joined the carrier battle group, Task Group 317.8. On 22 May she fired two Sea Dart missiles at spurious radar returns caused by interference with similar radars fitted on ships within the group. After the destroyer was hit and subsequently sunk on 25 May, "Bristol" with | 6,131,074 |
536787 | HMS Bristol (D23) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HMS%20Bristol%20(D23) | HMS Bristol (D23)
and carried out duties in the air warfare role. When the aircraft carrier , the flagship, returned to the UK, "Bristol" took over as flagship until 17 September (seemingly with Vice Admiral Derek Reffell aboard), returning to the UK after being relieved by the carrier .
On return to the UK she entered a refit and, in light of the lessons of the conflict, had her light anti aircraft weapons augmented with a pair of twin Oerlikon/BMARC 30 mm GCM-A03 and a pair of single Oerlikon/BMARC 20 mm GAM-B01 guns. Loral-Hycor SRBOC countermeasures launchers were also added to augment the elderly Corvus launchers.
## Post-Falklands service.
With the Royal Navy short on hulls after damages and losses incurred | 6,131,075 |
536787 | HMS Bristol (D23) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HMS%20Bristol%20(D23) | HMS Bristol (D23)
in the Falklands, "Bristol" remained in commission and made several overseas deployments until paid off for refit in 1984. Another boiler explosion when entering refit caused extensive damage that had to be repaired. The major work undertaken in the refit was to replace the obsolete radar Type 965 with the new Type 1022 for long-range air search duties. The Ikara system was removed; it was intended to replace it with two triple STWS-1 launchers for 324 mm anti-submarine torpedoes, but they were never fitted.
# Training ship.
By the late 1980s the ship was becoming increasingly outdated. As the fleet downsized, maintaining a unique vessel when plenty of other air defence destroyers were in | 6,131,076 |
536787 | HMS Bristol (D23) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=HMS%20Bristol%20(D23) | HMS Bristol (D23)
commission no longer seemed worthwhile. HMS "Bristol" was paid off in 1991 and refitted to again replace HMS "Kent", this time as the training ship located at the shore establishment . "Bristol" is permanently berthed at Whale Island, Portsmouth and is primarily used as a training ship and accommodation ship for Royal Naval personnel and youth organisations. Many young people from the Sea Cadets, the Combined Cadet Force and the Sea Scouts have their first experience of life on board a warship on "Bristol". The Air Training Corps and Army Cadets Units also make use of the facilities. The ship has also been used by a number of colleges running the Edexcel BTEC Public Services course. The ship's | 6,131,077 |

ip has also been used by a number of colleges running the Edexcel BTEC Public Services course. The ship's company is made up of a mix of Royal Navy and civilian staff.
## Refit 2010-11.
"Bristol" was refitted at A&P Tyne, Hebburn. The effects of the refit were said to "...extend the service life of HMS "Bristol" for 10 years". Work was intended to bring facilities on "Bristol" in line with health and safety standards. The redundant masts containing the ship's Type 1022 and Type 992Q search radars were removed. She departed from Portsmouth on 20 October 2010, and arrived at Hebburn under tow on the morning of 3 November 2010. HMS "Bristol" left Hebburn in April 2011 to return to Portsmouth. | 6,131,078 |

The elders of the Shinwari tribe in Nangarhar signed a pact, uniting against the Taliban. They promised that anyone supporting the Taliban, would be punished with fines and expulsion. This pact, which per "The Times" "appears to be the first" incident of an entire tribe declaring war against the Taliban, has invited comparison with the Sunni Awakening of 2006, which tipped the balance of power in Iraq against the Sunni insurgency. The pact also had economic implications that America offered over in development funding. Further, reports suggested the Shinwari were against Taliban interference with their | 6,131,082 |

# History.
## British assessment (1885).
In 1885, a British author described the Shinwari ("Shanwari" in his text):
## Role in the Khost Rebellion.
During the Khost rebellion, the Shinwari aligned themselves with the Afghan Government and helped quell the revolt.
## Role in 1929 Afghan Civil War.
During the 1928-1929 Afghan Civil War, The Shinwari tribe were the first to openly rebel against king Amanullah Khan's imposition of various new laws, including the requirement to wear European dress, the rule that required them to send a quota of their daughters to Kabul for education and the impositions | 6,131,085 |
536809 | Shinwari (Pashtun tribe) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shinwari%20(Pashtun%20tribe) | Shinwari (Pashtun tribe)
of taxes (they had never previously paid tax). The Shinwaris attacked Jalalabad, cutting off its water supply and closing the Kabul - Peshawar road. Amanullah responded by using his fledgling Air Force, including Russian pilots, to bomb the Shinwaris. The use of foreign "infidels" to subjugate Muslims roused other tribes to revolt and the country descended into what would become the 1929 Afghan Civil War.
