CMLL Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles (2012)
The CMLL Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles 2012 or "National Incredible Pairs Tournament 2012" was the first of a series of Lucha Libre (professional wrestling) tournaments for Tag Teams traditionally held early in the year. The tournament was based on the Lucha Libre "Parejas Increíbles" match type where two wrestlers of opposite allegiance, portraying either villains, referred to as ""Rudos"" in Lucha Libre wrestling terminology or fan favorites, or ""Técnicos"". At times some of the team members were part of a pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines with each other.

annual Torneo Nacional De Parejas Increíbles tournament in February and March 2012. The tournament featured teams of wrestlers who do not usually team up, in fact most of the teams are on opposite sides of the "Tecnico"/"Rudo" (Fan favorite/villain) divide and were oftentimes direct rivals. Unlike previous tournaments the participating teams would not represent the region where they were raised or where they learned to wrestle, in fact the "National" aspect of the tournament was partially abandoned as a Non-Mexican wrestler participated for the first time. The tournament was a standard single-elimination Tag Team, split into two brackets of eight teams, the two matches for the two brackets took | 6,131,801 |

place on the February 17, 2012 Super Viernes and the February 24, 2014 Super Viernes and the final match was held on CMLL's annual Homenaje a Dos Leyendas as the semi-main event of the show.
## Tournament Participants.
One of the teams in the 2012 tournament was not actually "Increíbles" as "Rudos" El Felino and Rey Bucanero teamed up, although there was some tension between the two as Bucanero had left Felino's group "La Peste Negra" to form "" in 2011. The following teams were part of the 2012 "Torneo Nacional De Parejas Increíbles":
- Key
- Ángel de Oro and Psicosis

## Block A.
To determine the team match-ups in the tournament a representative of each team entered a Battle royal where the order of elimination determined when the team would wrestle in the first round – the first two wrestlers eliminated would face off, then the next two and the next two, with the final two men in the ring facing off in the last of the opening round matches. | 6,131,803 |
37320950 | CMLL Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles (2012) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CMLL%20Torneo%20Nacional%20de%20Parejas%20Increíbles%20(2012) | CMLL Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles (2012)
The first Battle Royal, on February 17, included Euforia, Kraneo, La Mascara, Mascara Dorada, Maximo, Mr. Aguila, Mr. Niebla and Valiente. The match ended with La Mascara and Valiente as the last two wrestlers in the ring, which meant their teams would meet in the final first-round match that evening. In the first round 2010 and 2011 winner Máscara Dorada formed a very well functioning, high flying team with Volador Jr. to defeat the team of Guerrero Maya Jr. and Euforia. The "Parejas Increíbles" concept was really highlighted in the second tournament match as Maximo, who plays an "Exótico" character, a character who displays openly homosexual tendencies. During the match, Maximo tried to kiss | 6,131,804 |

his opponents to distract them, but when denied he kissed his partner Mephisto instead. This enraged Mephisto who attacked his own partner and knocked him out, leaving him easy prey for La Sombra and Mr. Águila to move on to the next round. The other half of the 2010 and 2011 tournament winner set aside his differences with Mr. Niebla to allow the team to defeat Brazo de Plata and Kraneo, putting them in the second round. The final first-round match saw Averno team up with the man that had forced him to unmask in 2011 at CMLL's Juicio Final ("Final Justice") show. The two got along just long enough to defeat Valiente and Olímpico. During the first of two second-round matches Volador Jr. landed | 6,131,805 |

wrong during a leaping move and had to actually be taken from the arena on a stretcher while the match was still going on. It is unclear if Volador Jr.'s injury forced a change to the original plans or if La Sombra and Mr. Águila had been booked to win the match from the beginning. CMLL may have wanted the 2010 and 2011 winners to face off in the semifinal but due to Volador Jr.'s injury, that matchup never happened. In the other first-round match. The final second-round match saw Atlantis continue his Parejas Increíbles tournament success as Atlantis and Mr. Niebla defeated Averno and La Mascara. The third round saw more success for Atlantis and Mr. Niebla as they earned a spot in the finals | 6,131,806 |

when they disposed of La Sombra and Mr. Águila in their one fall match.
## Block B.
In the week leading up to Block B competing, Rush stated that he was willing to set aside his differences with El Terrible as he wanted to win the Parejas Increíbles tournament, despite the two having developed a heated rivalry over the last number of months. The second block matches took place on February 24 and again started with a battle royal to determine the order of matches.The match included Ángel de Oro, Marco Corleone, Delta, Felino, El Hijo del Fantasma, Polvora, Rey Escorpion and Rush with Felino and Ángel de Oro being the last two men in the ring. In the first round Black Warrior and Rey Escorpión | 6,131,807 |
37320950 | CMLL Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles (2012) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CMLL%20Torneo%20Nacional%20de%20Parejas%20Increíbles%20(2012) | CMLL Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles (2012)
defeated Stuka Jr. and Pólvora in short order, followed by Marco Corleone and Último Guerrero defeating El Hijo del Fantasma and Misterioso Jr. Rush and El Terrible proved that they could indeed set aside their differences for at least one night as they worked well together to defeat Delta and Ephesto. While the final first-round match featured the only all-"rudo" team in the tournament it did not mean that El Felino and Rey Bucanero got along at all, during the match Rey Bucanero left his former "La Peste Negra" partner alone in the ring as he walked out of the arena. The odds were too hard to overcome for Felino and he fell to Ángel de Oro and Psicosis. The first match in the second round | 6,131,808 |
37320950 | CMLL Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles (2012) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CMLL%20Torneo%20Nacional%20de%20Parejas%20Increíbles%20(2012) | CMLL Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles (2012)
saw two members of "Los Guerreros del Infierno" on opposite sides as" Guerreros" leader Último Guerrero teamed up with Marco Corleone and "Guerrero" team member Rey Escorpión teamed with Black Warrior. Initially, the two "Guerreros" members avoided each other, but when they were finally in the ring with each other the fought like they had no allegiance with each other. In the end, Corleone and Último Guerrero took the victory and moved on to the semifinal match later that night. If the first second-round match saw allegiances set aside for the tournament, the second match saw rivalry set aside for the tournament as Rush and El Terrible once again worked better together than expected as they | 6,131,809 |

defeated Ángel de Oro and Psicosis to become the second team in the semifinal match. In the third and final round of the evening Rush's promise to set aside differences and win the tournament turned out to be true as the two defeated Marco Corleone and Último Guerrero to earn the second spot in the tournament finals.
## Finals.
The finals of the 2012 Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles was the only best two out of three falls tag team match of the tournament and was the semi-main event of the 2012 Homenaje a Dos Leyendas. After getting along for all the Block B qualifying matches Rush and El Terrible miscommunication and dissension between the two allowed Atlantis to become a three time | 6,131,810 |
37320950 | CMLL Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles (2012) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CMLL%20Torneo%20Nacional%20de%20Parejas%20Increíbles%20(2012) | CMLL Torneo Nacional de Parejas Increíbles (2012)
tournament winner as he and Mr. Niebla won falls two and three. Following the match Rush took a microphone and berated both El Terrible and the fans for their actions that night and then followed it up by challenging El Terrible to a "Luchas de Apuestas", hair vs. hair match at a later date. El Terrible did not accept the challenge at that point in time.
## Aftermath.
While tournament winners Mr. Niebla and Atlantis had been in the middle of a storyline rivalry before the match, the tension between the two never built into anything beyond one singles match between the two. Of all the teams only the storyline between finalists Rush and El Terrible developed into a major storyline. The two faced | 6,131,811 |

While tournament winners Mr. Niebla and Atlantis had been in the middle of a storyline rivalry before the match, the tension between the two never built into anything beyond one singles match between the two. Of all the teams only the storyline between finalists Rush and El Terrible developed into a major storyline. The two faced off on several occasion through most of 2012 until the two met in the main event of the CMLL 79th Anniversary Show where Rush defeated El Terrible, forcing El Terrible to be shaved bald due to the "Luchas de Apuestas" stipulation. | 6,131,812 |

Suasoria
Suasoria is an exercise in rhetoric; a form of declamation in which the student makes a speech which is the soliloquy of an historical figure debating how to proceed at a critical junction in their life. As an academic exercise, the speech is delivered as if in court against an adversary and was based on the Roman rhetorical doctrine and practice. The ancient Roman orator Quintilian said that suasoria may call upon a student to address an individual or groups such as the Senate, the citizens of Rome, Greeks or barbarians. The role-playing exercise developed the student's imagination as well as their logical and rhetorical skills.

Greeks or barbarians. The role-playing exercise developed the student's imagination as well as their logical and rhetorical skills.
# Origin.
The formal introduction of suasoria as a school form is unknown. One of the earliest forms of this exercise, however, involved Cicero's practice of philosophical theses, which were addressed to the self. The exercise became prevalent in ancient Rome, where it was, with the "controversia", the final stage of a course in rhetoric at an academy. One famous instance was recalled by Juvenal in the first of his "Satires":
Here Juvenal recalls his speech advising the dictator Sulla to retire. Another Roman poet who recalled enjoying his suasoria was Ovid. | 6,131,823 |

War Agricultural Executive Committee
The War Agricultural Executive Committees were government-backed organisations tasked with increasing agricultural production in each county of the United Kingdom, during both the First and Second World Wars. They were established in Autumn 1915 by the 2nd Earl of Selborne in a collaboration between the Board of Agriculture and County Councils, with the aim of better managing the country's limited wartime agricultural resources.
They were later re-formed in Autumn 1939 with the outbreak of the Second World War, and given more expansive powers over farmers and landowners in the United Kingdom. After performing surveys of rural land in their county, each Committee | 6,131,824 |

After performing surveys of rural land in their county, each Committee was given the power to serve orders to farmers "requiring work to be done, or, in cases of default, to take possession of the land". Committees could decide, on a farmer's behalf, which crops should be planted in which fields, so as to best increase the production of foodstuffs in their areas.
With the help of the War Agricultural Executive Committees, or "War Ags", British farmers increased the total productive land in the UK by 1.7 million acres between 1939 and the Spring of 1940.

F.C. Kilmarnock Ladies
Football Club Kilmarnock Ladies is a women's football team based in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire that plays in the SWPL 2. Founded as Stewarton Thistle, the club is the oldest women's football team in Scotland and celebrated its 50th anniversary in July 2011.
In 2017, former Kilmarnock player Shelley Kerr became the Scotland Women's national coach.
# History.
## Stewarton Thistle.
Local historian Alastair Barclay wrote in 1973 that a girls' soccer team was founded in Stewarton 12 years previously "more or less for laughs" but had quickly eclipsed the modest achievements of the town's male teams.
Sue Lopez recorded in her "Women on the Ball" book (1997) that the club was formed | 6,131,831 |
37321056 | F.C. Kilmarnock Ladies | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=F.C.%20Kilmarnock%20Ladies | F.C. Kilmarnock Ladies
in 1961 at the Lord Provost's request, to raise money for the Freedom from Hunger campaign. The club enjoyed local success and, with star player Rose Reilly, reached the final of the first ever Women's FA Cup in 1971. Played under the auspices of the English Women's Football Association, the competition admitted Scottish and Welsh teams in its early years. Stewarton Thistle lost 4–1 to Lopez's Southampton at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.
In 1972 they reached the final again, playing under the name of Lee's Ladies due to a naming–rights sponsorship deal. Southampton beat them again, 3–2 at Eton Park in Burton upon Trent.
## Kilmarnock.
In 1999 the club became known as Kilmarnock. | 6,131,832 |

The early part of the 2000s saw manager Jim Chapman assemble a strong squad with several Scotland women's national football team players. The club won the league championship twice and was Scotland's representative in the UEFA Women's Cup in 2002–03 and 2003–04.
Later in the decade Kilmarnock were much less successful, with a young and inexperienced side who often suffered heavy defeats. May 2010 saw a 29–0 loss at champions Glasgow City. In 2011 they finished last in the Scottish Women's Premier League but were spared relegation because of a shortage of teams. The team's only win of the season, 2–0 against Falkirk, was changed to a 3–0 defeat when it emerged one of Kilmarnock's players was | 6,131,833 |

six weeks short of her 15th birthday and ineligible for senior football.
However, in the 2012 season, they finished bottom again and they were relegated.
In the 2018 SWPL season, newly promoted Kilmarnock lost their first league match of the season at home against Motherwell 2-1. After the match Kilmarnock complained that Motherwell had not followed correct SWF prodecures. Kilmarnock were subsequently rewarded with a 3-0 win over Motherwell. The result put them top of the SWPL2.

37321122 | Hangbe | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hangbe | Hangbe
Hangbe
Hangbe (or Hangbè, also Ahangbe or Na Hangbe) was the Ruler of the Kingdom of Dahomey, in present-day Benin, for a brief period before Agaja came to power in 1718. Little is known about her because her rule was largely erased from the official Dahomey history and much that is known is brought together by various different oral histories. However, it is often considered that she became the ruler of Dahomey upon the sudden death of King Akaba because his oldest son, Agbo Sassa, was not yet of age. The duration and extent of this rule is not generally agreed upon. She supported Agbo Sassa in a succession struggle between him and Agaja in 1718. Agaja became King of Dahomey and, because of | 6,131,838 |
37321122 | Hangbe | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hangbe | Hangbe
her support for his opponent, her legacy was largely erased from official history.
# Regent of Dahomey.
Hangbe was born to Houegbadja as the twin sister of Akaba. The twins had a younger brother named Dosu, who later took the name Agaja, which is the traditional name given to the first son born after twins. Akaba became the King of Dahomey around 1685 and Hangbe became an important part of the royal family as the oldest sister of Akaba.
Oral histories agree generally that Akaba died while engaged in military combat in the Ouémé River valley in 1716, but the histories disagree about the cause of death whether in battle, poisoned, or smallpox. Regardless, between his death and the appointment | 6,131,839 |
37321122 | Hangbe | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hangbe | Hangbe
of Agaja in 1718, oral traditions say that Hangbe was the ruler of Dahomey, as regent. In one version, after Akaba's death, Hangbe put on his armor and continued leading the forces in the Ouémé River valley. Between 1716 and 1718, Hangbe continued the warfare started by Akaba in the Ouémé River valley and may have led additional military expeditions. Her rule is generally considered to have lasted either three months or three years.
# Succession struggle.
In 1718, Hangbe supported the rule of Agbo Sassa, the oldest son of Akaba, to the throne of Dahomey. Her younger brother Dosu (later Agaja) contested this rule and this caused a significant succession struggle between Agbo Sassa and Dosu. | 6,131,840 |
37321122 | Hangbe | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hangbe | Hangbe
Some versions claim that the royal court was displeased with the perceived bacchanalian and decadent lifestyle of Hangbe and so instead chose Agaja. Others contend that the court was afraid of creating a split dynasty, with the children of Hangbe and the children of Akaba having equal right to claim the throne, and so preferred Agaja to clarify the dynastic line of succession. Regardless, the struggle did not last long and Agaja became the King of Dahomey. Oral traditions disagree on what happened afterwards. One version recounts that her only son was put to death to prevent any claims to the throne, while Hangbe, disgusted with the choice of Agaja and the execution of her son, stripped naked | 6,131,841 |
37321122 | Hangbe | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hangbe | Hangbe
in front of the council and washed her genitals in a show of contempt for their decision. Other versions have her son remaining alive but an angry speech by Hangbe directed at the council included a prediction that this would lead to the conquest of Dahomey by Europeans. Other oral traditions connected with her surviving lineage suggests that, while Agbo Sassa fled north to live with the Mahi people, she and her family remained in Abomey and, under King Ghezo in the early 1800s, the house and lineage was provided significant funds to maintain its presence.
# Legacy.
Hangbe's descendants live to the current day in a compound next to the Royal Palaces of Abomey and have an oral tradition that | 6,131,842 |
37321122 | Hangbe | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hangbe | Hangbe
Hangbe's descendants live to the current day in a compound next to the Royal Palaces of Abomey and have an oral tradition that lists seven descendants acting as head of the Hangbe lineage under the title of Queen Hangbe. In some versions, it is stated that Hangbe was the main person responsible for the creation of the Dahomey Amazons, a military unit composed entirely of women. Most scholars do not consider this likely. Hangbe is not included in any of the court king lists for the Kingdom of Dahomey due to a particularly thorough case of damnatio memoriae.

Wythburn Church
Wythburn Church is located in an isolated position by the A591 road on the east bank of Thirlmere, Cumbria, England. It is an active Anglican church in the deanery of Derwent, the archdeaconry of West Cumberland, and the diocese of Carlisle. Its benefice is united with those of St Mary, Threlkeld, and St John, St John's in the Vale. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The poet William Wordsworth described it as a "modest house of prayer".
# History.
A church is recorded as being on the site in 1554. It was rebuilt in 1640, and again in 1740. A chancel with an apse was added in 1872, possibly by C. J. Ferguson. | 6,131,845 |
37321073 | Wythburn Church | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wythburn%20Church | Wythburn Church
The size of the local population was severely reduced when the adjacent valley was flooded to create Thirlmere as a reservoir by Manchester Corporation, but the church remains in active use.
# Architecture.
Wythburn Church is small—only approximately inside—with whitewashed walls, and small square side windows. It is roofed in green slates. The plan consists of a three-bay nave, a slightly taller apse at the east end, and a north vestry. On the west gable is a bellcote. At the west end is a triple lancet window, and the apse and vestry contain narrow round-headed windows. Inside the church is an open timber roof. The altar, choir stalls and screen are in the Arts and Crafts style. The stained | 6,131,846 |

e, a slightly taller apse at the east end, and a north vestry. On the west gable is a bellcote. At the west end is a triple lancet window, and the apse and vestry contain narrow round-headed windows. Inside the church is an open timber roof. The altar, choir stalls and screen are in the Arts and Crafts style. The stained glass in the west window, dated 1889, was designed by Temple Moore. The centre window in the apse, dating from 1892, was designed by Henry Holiday for Powells, and the glass in the windows to the sides of this is dated 1906 and was designed by Hugh Arnold.

Anderson House (Rock Hill, South Carolina)
Anderson House is the former residence of John Gary Anderson, who was president of the Anderson Motor Company in Rock Hill, South Carolina. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
# History of John Gary Anderson.
John Gary Anderson (1861-1937) married Alice Louetta Holler of Rock Hill in 1884. He then entered into business with his father-in-law to found the Holler and Anderson Buggy Company. By 1905 he was the sole owner of the company, and its name had been changed to Anderson Motor Company. By 1916 the company offered its first car for sale, a luxury coupe costing $1,500. By 1924 the company had ceased production and | 6,131,851 |

officially closed its doors in 1925.
Anderson was a key figure in developing Rock Hill. He founded the Rock Hill Chamber of Commerce and served as its first president. He installed the area's first telephone exchange, which morphed into the Rock Hill Telephone Company. He initiated plans for paving the city's streets and sidewalks. He lobbied for a US Post Office in the city; it became a reality in the late 1890s. He also lobbied for establishment of a US District Court in the city; that effort was also ultimately successful. He was a member of the Winthrop Board of Trustees, a position he maintained until his death.
In 1911 Anderson formulated a plan to reduce the amount of acreage being | 6,131,852 |

planted in cotton in the South, and he traveled widely to encourage adoption of the plan. His efforts were recognized as successfully maintaining the price of cotton during the 1910s.
# The House.
Anderson had the house built in 1898 by A. D. Holler, a local contractor, using published plans of George Franklin Barber, a nationally known architect. He and his family occupied it thereafter; its application for Historic Status was signed by Alice Anderson Gill, a daughter of the family.

The house has two and one-half stories. The architecture is Queen Anne, based on a published plan of George Franklin Barber, a Tennessee architect. It incorporates a three-story turret with a conical roof on the north corner of the façade. A one-story porch wraps around the turret and spans the façade, with an attached gazebo at the south end. The walls are framed; the roof covering is slate, with metal crestings. It includes two brick chimneys with corbelled caps. | 6,131,854 |

They hear Carter talking to one of his executives about a "Specimen Z" in the sub-levels that might be the description for the "real" Carter Pewterschmidt. While sneaking into a sub-level medical facility to find "Specimen Z," Brian and Stewie discover that "Specimen Z" is actually for a chemical that is the cure for cancer. Carter finds them in the room where it is being held and reveals that he has been sitting on the cure since 1999 in order to protect his sales of treatment pharmaceuticals. Carter then has the security guards throw Brian and Stewie | 6,131,857 |

out.
As Brian fumes on their way home, Stewie reveals that he stole the cure. They take it home to show Lois, but Carter arrives with his men to take it back and Brian tells what it is. Lois is appalled, but Carter refuses to show pity until she brings up some of his closest loved ones possibly dying of cancer. After an argument with Lois, Carter promises to reveal the cure.
The next day in a press release, Carter only gives the news of a new type of deodorant for mentally disabled people called "Slow Stick" (a parody of Speed Stick), which is also apparently edible. Lois calls to find out why he did not reveal the secret as Carter reveals that he lied before hanging up on her. The episode | 6,131,858 |

Carter Dotson of "TV Fanatic" gave the episode three out of five stars, saying "Even the cancer cure plot seemed half-baked. It was the typical glazing over of a message that was to be presented: just a top-level message that rich corporations would rather make money by treating cancer rather than curing it. A simple one, and handled by the show in the way that it usually does, like in the “legalize pot” episode: present the point and change nothing." | 6,131,860 |

Gia Định Báo (), or "Gia Dinh News" was the first Vietnamese newspaper. It was published in Saigon from 1865 to 1910. Pétrus Ky was the editor in chief. "Gia Định" is an alternative name for Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City. It was a gazette that published official and legal documents, although it also included articles on Vietnamese culture and agriculture. Woodblock printing in Chinese characters remained the norm until the early 20th century, so the paper's use of the modern typography and the Latin alphabet were innovations.

VIA 57 West
VIA 57 West (marketed as VIΛ 57WEST) is the name of a residential building designed by the Danish architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). The pyramid shaped tower block or "tetrahedron" rises and 35 stories tall and is located on West 57th Street in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, New York City. According to "The New York Times", the name was chosen "because the southbound West Side Highway slopes down as drivers enter the city, right at the spot where the building is situated", serving as an entrance to Manhattan "via 57th".
# Context.
Bjarke Ingels met the New York developer Douglas Durst in the early 2000s when he was in Denmark. Durst, who visited Ingels' Copenhagen studio | 6,131,863 |
37321190 | VIA 57 West | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=VIA%2057%20West | VIA 57 West
in February 2010, found him very inventive, noting that unlike other architects, "What was striking about his work was that each design was so different, and designed for the locale."
In spring 2010, Durst Fetner Residential commissioned BIG to bring a new residential typology to Manhattan. In 2011, BIG opened an office in New York to supervise W57's development and construction. By mid-2012, the office had a staff of about 50, and , it employs over 150 people in New York.
West 57 is Ingels's first New York project. While the views from Manhattan of the 709-unit building may resemble a distorted pyramid with a steeply sloped facade, rising toward the northeast, it becomes apparent that Bjarke | 6,131,864 |
37321190 | VIA 57 West | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=VIA%2057%20West | VIA 57 West
Ingels had something else in mind as viewed from across the water in Weehawken, New Jersey. The most unrecognized feature created by the building's sloped facade is the appearance it gives of an extra large sailing vessel making its way across the Hudson River (as seen from Blvd.East in Weehawken).(view in google street view)
# Reception.
The triangular structure has been described as a hybrid between a European perimeter block and a traditional Manhattan high-rise. One reviewer described it as a torqued pyramid or "a quarter of a watermelon that’s had a large chunk surgically extracted from its center." It was given the Emporis Best Skyscraper design award in 2016.

The Leeds municipal elections were held on Thursday 12 May 1949, with one third of the seats to be elected.
Witnessing a slight swing away from them of 0.5%, the Conservatives won a narrow majority of the seats contested.

Many pioneers in drag racing began at Santa Ana. Art Chrisman, Don Yates, Calvin Rice, Joaquin Arnett, George "Ollie" Morris and others participated regularly.
The strip was created with $1000 start up money, and charged both spectators and participants 50 cents, of which 10% went directly to the owner of the airport. The strip installed timing clocks, so racers could actually get accurate | 6,131,885 |

Norman Gorbaty
Norman Gorbaty (born 1932) is an American artist who lives and works in New York.
# Early life.
After graduating from Amherst College, Gorbaty was the recipient of a Simpson fellowship from Amherst and a teaching fellowship from Yale University where he furthered his artistic interests in pursuit of an MFA. At Yale, he was part of an incredibly diverse and gifted creative milieu, influenced by a number of notable artists such as Josef Albers, Alexi Brodovitch, Leo Leonni, Herbert Matter, Bernard Chaet, Gabor Peterdi and Louis Kahn. While at Yale, Gorbaty had his prints regularly shown in the prestigious Brooklyn Museum Printmaking Annual and his master's thesis was titled, "Print | 6,131,895 |

Making with a Spoon" and was later published nearly in its entirety in Gabor Peterdi's instrumental publication "Printmaking Methods Old and New".
# Career (1956–present).
Despite an encouraging debut with his work being selected for the 1954 Young American Printmakers show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Gorbaty had decided in 1956 that he would pursue a career on Madison Avenue as a graphic designer for advertisements. He had a highly successful career working for some of the most reputable agencies in New York City, including companies such as Benton & Bowles. The choice was made largely out of the uncertainty and financial instability that the life of an artist came to embody | 6,131,896 |

and the desire to support his family in a relatively stable and steady career.
Throughout his fifty-year career in graphic design, Gorbaty worked on fine art projects in his spare time and eventually cumulated a large selection of works on paper, sculptures, and carvings. In recent years, works that had been previously unseen by viewers have been steadily gaining attention and recognition. In 2010, he was exhibited in a two-part solo show at Fairfield University's Walsh Gallery and Bellarmine Museum of Art.

eld University's Walsh Gallery and Bellarmine Museum of Art. Gaining both recognition and acclaim with previously unseen works of art, as Gorbaty had an article surveying his artistic career published in the New York Times. Whether it be a painting, a print, or a sculpture, Gorbaty's works are cogent studies of form and motion and as the artist has stated, "When I think of my work, two words come to mind: movement and drawing... I am fascinated by the motion around us and often try to capture this in my work.”
