Q21608132 George Orr (26 July 1896 – 2 October 1972) was an Australian-born New Zealand first-class cricketer who played for Wellington in the 1920s.Born in St Leonards, New South Wales on 20 July 1896, Orr played junior cricket in Australia before enlisting in the Australian 9th Flying Corps Engineers in 1916.Following the war, he worked for Sydney solicitors Minter Simpson & Co. until 1922 when he accepted a role with the New Zealand Farmers' Co-operative Distributing Company in Wanganui, New Zealand. An opening batsman, Orr quickly gained local attention for his cricketing skill, being lauded for his "solid defence and an exquisite square cut", and after some high scores was selected for Wanganui for the Hawke Cup match against Rangitikei on 15 November 1922, making 72. He was soon selected in a Minor Associations side to play the touring MCC side, scoring one and eleven.Despite the poor returns against the MCC, Orr was chosen for the Minor Associations side in a match against Wellington which served as a trial for Wellington's upcoming Plunket Shield match against Auckland. He made 27 and 44; enough to be included in the Wellington team for his first-class debut.Orr made his debut on Christmas Day 1923 against Auckland at the Wellington College Ground, making 69 and 35 as Wellington won by 365 runs.Orr's performance was rated highly by the media, with one newspaper reporter stating "He is a finished batsman, with a wide range of good scoring strokes. He gave the impression that he could score fast if he were to take the brake off but in each innings ... he played for the side rather than himself."Orr was retained for Wellington's next match, against Canterbury at Basin Reserve, scoring nine and zero.At the time Wellington's sole selector Kinder Tucker did not travel outside Wellington to watch regional matches and was notoriously reluctant to select country players, so players were selected on their performances in Wellington. As a result, Orr continued to score heavily for Wanganui, including 124 against Auckland in January 1924 but failures in matches played in front of Tucker meant Orr did not return to first-class cricket until Wellington's 7 January 1927 match against Auckland.Orr scored 68 in the first innings and was run out for six in the second but was never again selected for Wellington. He continued to play for Wanganui, including a match against the touring 1927/1928 Australian team, where he top scored with 24 out of 83 as former Wellington cricketer Clarrie Grimmett took eight wickets for thirty runs (8/30) for the tourists.Orr continued to appear for Wanganui sporadically until his retirement from cricket in 1934, having scored 1412 runs for Wanganui at 27.60. While his first-class career was brief, Orr's career with Wanganui was highly regarded, with cricket author T.W. Reese, in his book New Zealand Cricket, stating that the resurgence of cricket in Wanganui post war could be attributed to Orr who "not only proved himself a very sound batsman but seemed by his success to inspire the others."Following his retirement, Orr was a long serving Wanganui delegate to the Wellington Cricket Association and became a respected figure in the Wellington media for his views on cricket.Orr served in the Pacific conflict during World War II as a lieutenant in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force before returning to Wanganui where he served as Chairman of Directors of the Wanganui Traders' Association, Secretary of the Wanganui Grain and Seed Merchants' Association and Chairman of Directors, Amalgamated Grain Distributors Association, Wellington.Orr, who never married, died in Wanganui on 2 October 1972, aged 76.

Q4752304 Anatomy of a Typeface is a book on typefaces written by Alexander Lawson. The book is notable for devoting entire chapters to the development and uses of individual or small groupings of typefaces. Beyond Anatomy of a Typeface Lawson has considered and discussed the classification of types. Within Anatomy, Lawson arranges the typefaces by classification. In his preface, Lawson qualifies his classification: "After using this system in the teaching of typography over a thirty-year period, I know that it is reasonably effective in the initial study of printing types. I am not disposed to consider it faultless by any means. A classification system, after all, is simply a tool ... Its primary purpose is to help people become familiar with these forms preparatory to putting them to effective and constructive typographic use."Following are the thirty-one chapters of Anatomy of a Typeface: the Black-letter Types: Goudy Text and Hammer Uncial; Old Style Types: Cloister Old Style, Centaur, Bembo, Arrighi, Dante, Goudy Old Style, Palatino, Garamond, Galliard, Granjon, Sabon, Janson, Caslon, Baskerville, Bodoni, Bulmer, Bell, Oxford, Caledonia, Cheltenham, and Bookman; Newspaper Types: Times Roman; Twentieth-century Gothics: Franklin Gothic; Square-serif Revival: Clarendon; Humanist Sans-serif Types: Optima; Geometric Sans-serif Types: Futura; and Script, Cursive, and Decorated Types; Type Making from Punch to Computer.The third printing of Anatomy appeared in 2002.

Q7594432 St Mary's Church, Tal-y-llyn is a medieval church near Aberffraw in Anglesey, north Wales. It was originally a chapel of ease for the parish church of St Peulan's, Llanbeulan, but the township that it once served, Tal-y-llyn, no longer exists. It was declared a redundant church in the early 1990s, and has been in the care of the Friends of Friendless Churches since 1999. Services are held once per month during part of the year.The date of the church is unknown, but the oldest parts could be from the 12th century. The chancel was rebuilt in the 16th century, and a side chapel added in the 17th century. The church furnishings, such as pews, pulpit and communion rails, were added in the 18th century, although some of the pews are modern replacements after vandalism. It is a Grade I listed building, a national designation given to buildings of "exceptional, usually national, interest", because it is "a very rare example of a virtually unrestored Medieval church of simple, rustic character."
Q5096000 Chichester Guildhall is an ecclesiastical building in Chichester, West Sussex, England. The name is a bit of a misnomer, as the building was constructed as a chancel by the Grey Friars of Chichester, an Order of Franciscans. The Grey Friars received the land, now called Priory Park, in a grant from Richard, Earl of Cornwall, in 1269.The first record of the Church in Priory Park talks of an ordination held by Archbishop John Peckham, in 1283. This date ties in with the architectural features of the Guildhall. The building is a magnificent example of late 13th-century architecture and is one of the few Franciscan churches in England that is still roofed.The building is an aisleless structure, 82 by 31 feet (25.0 by 9.4 m) with a height of 42 feet (13 m). The western wall was a later addition, leading to the belief that some portion on the nave must have at least been begun. This modification to the building was executed so as to allow the chancel arch to remain visible spanning the whole width of the structure. Symmetrical windows separated by buttresses line the northern and southern sides of the building. The windows have simple chamfers on the outside with no further mouldings.

Q15522437 Herminie Templeton Kavanagh (1861 – 30 October 1933) was a British writer, most known for her short stories.She was born Herminie McGibney, the daughter of Major George McGibney of Longford, Ireland. She became Herminie Templeton after her first marriage to John Templeton, and Herminie Templeton Kavanagh after her second marriage. Her second husband, Marcus Kavanagh (1859–1937), was a Cook County judge in Chicago, Illinois from 1898 to 1935.Accounts differ on how she and the judge met, and where and when they married. In July 1908, the Chicago Tribune announced that they would be married at his parents' church in Des Moines, Iowa, but that the judge was "reticent as to the details." Another article in the Tribune, several weeks later, said that Mrs. Templeton had been abandoned by her first husband in Chicago circa 1893. In the course of the clerical work in the city recorder's office by which she supported herself, she met Kavanagh, and they were to be married at the church in County Waterford, Ireland where his parents had been married. "It is said there has been a silent understanding and a wait of over ten years" until news of Templeton's death in 1907, the article explained. But the following day, the Tribune reported that they were married in Dublin, Ireland on 19 August 1908, by a monsignor from Des Moines, Iowa.But according to her 1933 obituary in the same newspaper, they met in Ireland in 1907 while the judge was touring Europe and she was gathering material for a book, and they married on 19 August 1908, at his parent's church in Des Moines, Iowa. Judge Kavanagh's listing in Who Was Who in America (1943) said that they were married on 19 August 1905.Her best known work, Darby O'Gill and the Good People (ISBN 0-9666701-0-8), was first published as a series of stories under the name Herminie Templeton in McClure's magazine in 1901–1902, before being published as a book in the United States in 1903. A second edition, published a year before her death, was under the name Herminie T. Kavanagh.The Good People in the title refers to the fairies in Irish mythology. The English translation of daoine maithe is good people.Her second published book, Ashes of Old Wishes and Other Darby O'Gill Tales (ISBN 0-8369-4018-0), was published in 1926. In 1959, Walt Disney released a film based on these two books, called Darby O'Gill and the Little People.She also wrote two plays, The Color Sergeant (1903), and Swift-Wing of the Cherokee (1903).Judge and Mrs. Kavanagh lived in Chicago and Ocean Grove, New Jersey. She died of a heart ailment, and was buried in New York, her former home.

Q461078 In early 2005, German football was overshadowed by the discovery of a €2 million match fixing scandal centered on second division referee Robert Hoyzer, who confessed to fixing and betting on matches in the 2. Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal (German Cup), and the then third division Regionalliga. The scandal has been described as the largest controversy in German football since the Bundesliga scandal of the early 1970s, as numerous players, coaches and officials have been accused of involvement with an organised crime group in the scheme, which came on the eve of Germany playing host to the 2006 World Cup.Although it does not appear that any 1st Bundesliga games were involved, the matches in question do include a DFB Cup first-round contest between regional side Paderborn and Bundesliga heavyweights Hamburg played on 21 August 2004. Hamburg lost 2–4 as two highly questionable penalties were awarded to Paderborn and Hamburg footballer Émile Mpenza was sent off for protesting as the club was eliminated from the lucrative competition.
