# David Amaral (footballer)

**David Amaral Rodríguez** (born 12 October 1958) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a midfielder, currently a manager.

He spent all of his senior playing career contracted to Tenerife, a club who he managed in three brief spells in Segunda División. He also led Universidad de Las Palmas, Salamanca and Castellón at that level.

## Playing career

Amaral was born in Arico, on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. He spent his entire professional career with local CD Tenerife, apart from the 1985–86 season on loan to CD Binéfar in the Segunda División B – who were relegated.

Over four seasons, Amaral amassed Segunda División totals of 113 matches and 13 goals. He scored his first in the competition on 2 October 1983 in a 2–2 home draw against RC Celta de Vigo, after a blunder from the opposition's goalkeeper.

## Coaching career

After managing several other clubs in the archipelago, Amaral was hired at Tenerife in January 2003, and resigned a year later with the team one point off the second-tier relegation zone. After a few months with rivals UD Las Palmas in the third division, he returned to the second with Tenerife briefly in 2006.

Amaral took his first job outside his native islands in July 2006, with FC Cartagena. He left his position the following January, in protest at roles such as transfer business being assigned to Paco Gómez instead.

In 2007–08, Amaral's SD Ponferradina won their group in division three, but lost the play-off final 2–1 on aggregate to Alicante CF. He missed the first leg of that tie, having been sent off in the semi-final against Mérida UD. In July 2008, he returned to the second tier with UD Salamanca, whom he led to ninth place in his only campaign.

Amaral was appointed by CD Castellón in the same league in June 2009. He was sacked on 13 October with the team in last place, having earned one point from seven games and lost the six others consecutively.

In April 2011, Amaral returned to a Tenerife side seven points into the relegation zone with ten matches left in the second division. Despite having a year left on his contract, he was dismissed in June following their descent.

Amaral returned to football in late September 2013, taking over an SD Huesca side in the zone of relegation to the Tercera División. The following March, he was shown the door.

In May 2019, Amaral ended a five-year hiatus by taking the place of Pier Luigi Cherubino at women's football team UD Granadilla Tenerife.

Earls of Barrymore |

David was born on 10 March 1605, probably at Buttevant, County Cork, a posthumous child of David de Barry and his wife Elizabeth Power. His father was an heir apparent who never acceded. David's grandfather was David de Barry, 5th Viscount Buttevant. The Barrys were an Old English family who had come from Wales at the time of the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland.

His mother was a daughter of Richard Power, 4th Baron le Power and Curraghmore.

## Early life and marriage

He succeeded as 6th Viscount Buttevant on 10 April 1617 on the death of his grandfather. Through Cork's influence, he was created Earl of Barrymore on 28 February 1628

## Marriage and children

In 1631 Buttevant, as he was now, married Alice Boyle, daughter of Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, by his second wife, Catherine Fenton.

## Irish wars

During the 1641 rebellion, he quite naturally sided with the Crown upon whom his title and lands depended. When the rebellion spread into Munster, he fought vigorously against the insurgents. On 10 May 1642, he stormed the Castle of Ballymacpatrick (now Careysville), near Fermoy, which was held by his grand-aunt, and hanged forty of the rebel leaders before breakfast. On 16 May, he lost Barrymore Castle at Castlelyons, his seat, to Maurice Roche, Viscount Fermoy and Donough MacCarty, 2nd Viscount Muskerry.

He led a regiment at the Battle of Liscarroll in September 1642. He died two weeks later on 29 September 1642 at his house in Castle Lyons probably of wounds received at the battle. He was buried in the Boyle Vault, Youghal, County Cork, by his grieving father-in-law, Richard Boyle.

title: Tartu Eesti Naesterahva Selts

abstract: Tartu Eesti Naesterahva Selts was an Estonian organisation for women's rights, founded in 1907 in Tartu. It was the first women's rights organization in Estonia and in the Baltic states, and the only one prior to 1917. As was the case in Latvia, women's rights had been a subject of public debate in the press since the 1880s, mainly in connection to the nationalism. As in the other Baltic countries however, no political organizations could exist prior to the introduction of Parliamentatism in Russia in 1905. The Tartu Eesti Naesterahva Selts was formed to raise women's economical, moral and educational opportunities. It was the first organization to voice the subject of women's rights in Estonia. Its leading members were Leena Gross, Lilli Muna and Marie Reisik. The organization mainly focused on women's rights to university studies, access to professions and equal pay for equal work. Women students were allowed to audit university courses in 1905 and special courses were given for women from 1911 onward, but they were not allowed to study as full students prior to independence. After the Russian revolution, a number of smaller women's groups were formed. Women in Russia and thus also in Estonia, which was then a part of Russia, were given suffrage, encouraged to join political parties and ran in the upcoming elections, and the Tartu Eesti Naesterahva Selts formed a political chapter. In order to unite the new women's associations in cooperation, it organized the first women's congress in Tartu in May 1917. At the congress, the umbrella organization Union of Estonian Women's Organizations was formed. Women's suffrage was introduced early after Estonian independence in 1918.

Brog is often considered a protégé of American philanthropists Miriam and Sheldon Adelson. In July 2015, Brog was tapped to head a new group called Maccabee Task Force, an entity formed by the Adelsons and fellow philanthropist Haim Saban to combat Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions activities on college campuses. Brog was seen as a surprising choice due to his position far from the mainstream within pro-Israel position, according to a Jewish organizational official speaking to *The Forward* in 2015. Nonetheless, the official found Brog's past success in organizational development explanatory regarding his appointment.

According to David Krone, Harry Reid's chief of staff, Brog was key in securing House Republican support for the Antisemitism Awareness Act, which passed in 2016.

He co-founded the Edmund Burke Foundation with Yoram Hazony. As part of that foundation's work, Hazony and Brog organized the National Conservatism Conference. They hoped to develop the frame the development and growth of conservatism through the conference.

### Christians United For Israel leadership

Brog helped found Christians United For Israel (CUFI), an American pro-Israel Christian organization. CUFI founder and San Antonio-based Pentecostal preacher John Hagee hired Brog in 2006. Hagee did so as a solution to his organization's lack of pull in political circles; with Brog's political connections and ability, Hagee hoped to extend influence from the familiar broadcast radio to the unfamiliar Washington, D.C.

Brog said in 2015 that his first task upon joining CUFI was to tap into existing bases of Christian Zionist support. Around 2015, the organization was exploring the idea of expanded political engagement, whether through Washington office focused on lobbying or through the development of a political action committee.

According to Sander Gerber, a major player in the passage of the Taylor Force Act, a bill passed in 2018 that halted aid to the Palestinian Authority until it stops paying the families of deceased terrorists, Brog played a role in the bill's passage. Brog brought CUFI into the lobbying effort to pass the bill, bringing evangelical groups on board long before Jewish groups entered the arena, according to Gerber.

### 2022 Republican Nevada congressional primary

In 2022, Brog ran for Republican Congressional nominee in Nevada's 1st congressional district. He lost in an eight-way race, finishing second with 17% to former Army colonel Mark Robertson's 30%. Brog announced his entry into the race in February and raised $284,000 in the first six weeks, including a $50k loan to himself. By June, Brog had spent $187k. His campaign spent $59k on mail advertisements and $88.5k on "media placements". This left his campaign with $174k in remaining cash at that point. By that point in the campaign, Brog had received endorsements from Genie Energy PAC, the Hindu American PAC, and former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Brog described "securing our Southern border and finishing Trump's border wall" as among his top priorities.

## Education and early life

Brog was born in Margate City, New Jersey, a community near Atlantic City. His parents were largely secular, his father Eugene attending synagogue only for the high holidays. His Zionism was fostered after reading *The Revolt* by Menachem Begin while a student at Atlantic City High School.

Brog attended Princeton University for his bachelor's degree. He graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991.

## Personal life

He is a cousin of former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Barak, whose original surname was also "Brog" until he Hebraized it to Barak in 1972. He is married to an Israeli-American woman.

Brog is Jewish. He occasionally attends his local Orthodox synagogues, Young Israel Aish HaTorah and Chabad. He does not work on Shabbat. Before moving to Nevada, Brog lived in Texas.

## Views

Brog says he was a Democrat until law school.

In 2014, Brog expressed concern in *Middle East Quarterly* that traditional reflexive American evangelical Christian support for Israel was waning.

## Books

* *Reclaiming Israel's History: Roots, Rights, and the Struggle for Peace* (2017)
* *In Defense of Faith: The Judeo-Christian Idea and the Struggle for Humanity* (2010)
* *Standing With Israel: Why Christians Support the Jewish State*  (2006)

Brog's *Standing With Israel* is an attempt to establish Christian Zionists as both allies to the Jewish people and not motivated by replacement theology. Brog details in four chapters how Christian Zionists aided in the establishment of the State of Israel. He poses modern Zionist evangelicals as the heirs to the righteous gentiles of World War II. Nikolas K. Gvosdev says in his review for the *Journal of Church and State* that the book "suffers from the fact that its author wants to make definitive statements on a variety of issues while ignoring inconvenient details", a byproduct of the book's nature as a political polemic. Brog's primary audience is other members of the Jewish community.

Located in the Tatsumi Junction, only vehicles heading from the Bayshore Route via Ariake Junction to the Fukagawa Route can be used. It is a place where car enthusiasts gather because it is a large parking area for the Shuto Expressway in the 23 wards, and the night view of skyscrapers and the pictures of their cars "shine".

Fences that block the night view and speed bumps that make it difficult for illegally modified vehicles to enter and exit were installed. In January 2023, a convex step was installed on the road surface at the exit of the parking area for the purpose of speed control, but a video of a vehicle passing at high speed using this step as a jump hill was posted on social media.

# David H. Simmons

**David H. Simmons** (born June 13, 1952) is a Republican politician from Florida. He represented parts of Greater Orlando in the Florida Senate from 2010 to 2020, and in the Florida House of Representatives from 2000 to 2008.

## History

Simmons was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and attended Tennessee Technological University, where he graduated with a degree in mathematics in 1974. Following graduation, he attended the Vanderbilt University Law School, receiving his Juris Doctor in 1977 and moving to the state of Florida later that year. He served on United States Senator Connie Mack's Federal Judicial Advisory Committee from 1989 to 1992, and joined the law firm of de Beaubien, Knight, Simmons, Mantzaris, & Neal, LLP, where he currently serves as an attorney and financial managing partner.

## Florida House of Representatives

In 1986, Simmons ran for the Florida House of Representatives from the 39th District, which was based in Orange County, against incumbent State Representative Fran Carlton. During the campaign, Simmons attacked Carlton for voting against the death penalty, which Carlton alleged was a false claim, saying, "Mr. Simmons has used misinformation, twisted facts, half-truths, and out-right untruths in his attempt to discredit my good name. He owes me a retraction and he owes the voters an apology." Simmons stood by the advertisement, noting, "I have nothing to apologize for. My advertising is showing the real voting record of Fran Carlton." The *Orlando Sentinel*, though they "heartily" endorsed Carlton for re-election, praised Simmons as "a determined, self-made lawyer" who "has the potential to make contributions to Central Florida." Ultimately, Simmons lost to Carlton in a landslide, receiving 36% of the vote to her 64%.

Simmons ran for the legislature again in 2000, when incumbent State Representative Lee Constantine, who was term-limited, ran for the Florida Senate. Simmons ran to succeed Constantine in the 37th District, which was based in northern Orange County and central Seminole County. He faced Larry Strickler, a former Seminole County School Board member, in the Republican primary, and a contentious election followed, with Simmons accusing Strickler of being liberal and Strickler attacking Simmons as a "downtown Orlando trial attorney." The *Sentinel* endorsed Simmons in his second campaign for the legislature, noting that while both candidates had "lengthy resume" and were "well-versed on the issues," Simmons "articulates a firmer vision of what he sees as his priorities," which included an overhaul of transportation policy, preventing drugs from entering the state, and substantial campaign finance reform. Simmons ended up narrowly winning the primary election, receiving 53% of the vote to Strickler's 47%, and advancing to the general election, where he faced Ali Shahnami, the Democratic nominee. Shahnami did not prove to be a significant obstacle for Simmons, as he won in a landslide, receiving 70% of the vote to Shahnami's 30%. Running for re-election in 2002, Simmons was opposed by Libertarian candidate Timothy Moriarty in the general election. He campaigned on his efforts to reform the nursing-home industry in the state and on his legislation that aimed to prevent drunken drivers from repeating their offenses and said that he planned on raising teacher salaries over the following five years. Simmons easily won his second term, defeating Moriarty in a landslide with 76% of the vote. He was unopposed for re-election in 2004 and 2006, winning his third and fourth terms entirely uncontested, and was unable to seek re-election in 2008 due to term limits.

## Florida Senate

When Constantine, whom Simmons had succeeded in the House, was unable to seek another term in the Florida Senate, Simmons ran to succeed him in the 22nd District, which stretched from Sanford to Winter Park in northern Orange County and western Seminole County. He was unopposed in both the Republican primary and the general election, winning his first term uncontested.

In 2012, following the reconfiguration of the state's legislative districts, Simmons was drawn into the 10th District, where he ran for re-election. The district maintained much of the territory that he had previously represented but dropped the incursion into Orange County and expanded into eastern Seminole County and southern Volusia County. He won the Republican primary unopposed, and faced Leo Cruz, the Democratic nominee, in the general election. Though the contest was closer than any Simmons had faced in the past, he still won re-election by a solid margin, receiving 55% of the vote to Cruz's 45%.

During the 2014 legislative session, Simmons sponsored legislation that would have allowed "an applicant who is an unauthorized immigrant who was brought to this state as a minor and who has been a resident of this state for more than 10 years and has fulfilled all requirements for admission to practice law in this state" to be admitted to the Florida Bar, Simmons spoke strongly in favor, arguing, "We're going to right an injustice."

Simmons' district was reconfigured and renumbered after court-ordered redistricting in 2016. Simmons was term-limited from the Senate in 2020.

# David Brancaccio

**David A. Brancaccio** (/brɒŋˈkɑːi/; born May 17, 1960) is an American radio and television journalist. He is the host of the public radio business program *Marketplace Morning Report* and the PBS newsmagazine *Now*.

## Biography

### Early life and education

Brancaccio was born in New York City and grew up in Waterville, Maine. His father is Italian American and his mother is Ashkenazi Jewish American. He began his career in broadcasting on WTVL radio in 1976 at the age of fifteen. He received a Bachelor of Arts in African Studies and History from Wesleyan University in 1982 and a master's in journalism from Stanford University in 1988. He traveled widely, spending his fourth grade in Rome, his ninth grade in Fort Dauphin, Madagascar and his senior year in college in Legon, Ghana.

### Career

In 1989, Brancaccio began contributing to the public radio program *Marketplace*. He was first named as the program's European editor based in London. Brancaccio became senior editor and host of *Marketplace* in 1993. From London, Brancaccio also contributed diplomatic and feature coverage for the radio service of the Christian Science Monitor. During Brancaccio's tenure as host, *Marketplace* received the DuPont-Columbia Award (1998) and the George Foster Peabody Award (2001). He anchored the television newsmagazine, *California Connected*, that aired on many Californian PBS stations, from 2002 to 2003.

In 2003, Brancaccio left *Marketplace* to join Bill Moyers on *Now*. Brancaccio was co-host for over a year prior to Moyers' retirement at the end of 2004. On his last *Now* broadcast, Moyers had this to say about Brancaccio:

> I asked David to join me over a year ago because I wanted my successor to have grown up, as it were, in public broadcasting, an independent journalist, believing our job is to sift through the untidy realities, weigh the competing claims, and offer to you our considered approximation of what's really going on.

Among his beats: business innovation and the economy, politics, human rights, national security, the environment, health care, and science policy.

In 2007, Brancaccio won a national Emmy for coverage of a public health story in Kenya. In 2009, he won a Walter Cronkite Award for excellence in television political coverage. He also holds the David Brower award for Environmental Coverage from the Sierra Club. In 2005, Brancaccio conducted the last, long-form television interview with the legendary author Kurt Vonnegut. The last episode of *Now* was broadcast April 30, 2010.

Brancaccio is a contributor to several broadcast, electronic, and print media, including CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, *The Wall Street Journal*, *The Nightly Business Report*, *Wall Street Week with Fortune*, *The Baltimore Sun* and *Psychology Today*. In 2000, his book, *Squandering Aimlessly*, was published, his account of a pilgrimage across America to learn how Americans apply their personal values to their money. He also lectures widely about the future of the economy and the role of journalism in a democracy.

Brancaccio's documentary film *Fixing the Future*, directed by Emmy winning filmmaker Ellen Spiro, exploring more sustainable options for the economy, was released in theaters in 2012.

In 2011, Brancaccio returned to American Public Media's *Marketplace* as a correspondent covering new economy issues and tech/innovation.

In June 2016, it was announced that Rimstock (wheel manufacturing) had been sold to investment company Safanad.

## Super Touring years

### Independent entry (1992–2000)

#### BMW M3 and 318is (1992–1993)

Entered as **Rimstock Racing**, competing in both a BMW M3 and a 318is, Matt Neal ran his BMW entry as an Independent during the Manufacturer dominated Super Touring period of the BTCC. In 1992, he managed to finish twice in the points, scoring five points for the team. 1993, saw the first success for the team when Neal won the TOCA Challenge for Privateers (Independent Driver's Championship), the team having acquired the assets of Vic Lee Motorsport at the end of the previous season. Originally, the team planned to prepare engines for BMW and created the team under the 'Engine Dynamics' name, but when BMW decided to do its engines in-house, the outfit rebranded to Team Dynamics.

#### Ford Mondeo (1995–1997)

After a one-year break, the team returned with Matt Neal racing a year-old Ford Mondeo. Despite this, Neal still won the 1995 Total Cup for Privateers and managed to score the team's best finish to date when they finished fourth at Snetterton. 1996 saw a two car line up for Neal and Robb Gravett.

#### Nissan Primera (1997–2000)

Team Dynamics started the 1997 season with their tried and tested Mondeo, however a mid season change to a Nissan Primera was needed after two poor seasons. The poor form continued through 1998 until the start of the 1999 British Touring Car Championship season when Neal once again won the Michelin Cup for Independents for the team. The team was also able to take the first ever outright race win for an independent team during the first round's second race at Donington Park. The team went on to score three further outright podium finishes to achieve their best championship position to date, finishing sixth overall. The team's newfound form continued into 2000 with another Independent's Championship for Neal with one race win and four podiums pushing the team to fourth in the Touring Teams Championship.

## Modern years

### British Rally Championship

Team Dynamics sponsored British Rally driver Jonny Milner, who won back to back titles in 2002 and 2003 at the wheel of a Dynamics prepared Toyota Corolla. For 2004, Milner switched to a Subaru Impreza again built by the West Midlands-based outfit.

### Independent entry (2003–2009)

#### Vauxhall Astra (2003)

A brief spell away from the BTCC was ended when the team entered a Vauxhall Astra Coupé for Gareth Howell during the final four rounds of the 2003 season.

#### Honda Civic Type-R (2004)

They entered as *Computeach Racing with Halfords* in 2004 running two Honda Civic Type-Rs, purchased from the departing Honda works team, for Neal and Dan Eaves, achieving four race wins and several podium positions.

#### Honda Integra Type R (2005–2006)

For 2005, under the guise of *Team Halfords*, they developed a Honda Integra from its basic road-going form, winning the overall drivers title for Matt Neal, making him the first driver to win the overall title with an independent team. Eaves won 4 races for them, and Gareth Howell returned in a 3rd car towards the end of the year to take one win at Silverstone. The team also won both the Teams and Independent Teams championships.

Eaves was surprisingly not retained for the 2006 season, the team instead signed Gordon Shedden alongside Neal, who went on to retain his title. The team entered a 3rd Integra at the beginning of the season, although it did not appear until the seventh meeting of the year at Snetterton, once again driven by Gareth Howell. Team Dynamics successfully defended both the Teams and Independent Teams championships.

#### Honda Civic (eighth generation) (2007–2009)

In 2007, Matt Neal was again paired with Gordon Shedden. However, they were driving newly developed Honda Civics, required to meet the new Super 2000 regulations all teams must meet to be eligible for championship points. Entering as neither Manufacturer or Independent, the new car scored four wins and several podiums for both drivers, allowing Shedden and Neal to finish third and fourth respectively. The team was unable to defend its title, finishing third overall.

For the 2008 season, Neal left the team to drive for the Vauxhall works team, leaving Dynamics in search of a second driver. In November the team confirmed that Tom Chilton would partner Shedden for 2008. Again entering as neither Manufacturer or Independent, the new car scored four wins as it had the previous year. However Shedden was only able to finish seventh with Chilton three places behind him. The team again finished third overall.

Halfords withdrew their sponsorship in 2009. After one year with the team Chilton was dropped and replaced by veteran racer David Pinkney. After the opening rounds at Brands Hatch, James Thompson joined Team Dynamics, replacing Shedden. Thompson enjoyed three victories with the team but could not complete the season because of prior commitments in the WTCC and Danish Touring Car Championship. His final races with the team were at Knockhill in August 2009. Having been invited by Team Dynamics to run the Civic at the 2009 Goodwood Festival of Speed and completing a testing session at Rockingham, ex-British Grand Prix winner Johnny Herbert took Thompson's seat for the final rounds of the 2009 season. A mixed season saw the team only manage fifth in the teams championship after only three wins.

### Constructor entry (2010–present)

#### Honda Civic (eighth generation) (2010–2011)

For 2010, Team Dynamics were supported by Honda UK and ran under the **Honda Racing Team** banner, with Matt Neal and Gordon Shedden returning as drivers. A season long battle with Silverline Chevrolet driver Jason Plato saw Dynamics' two drivers finish runners up, with Neal second and Shedden third. However, the team was able to win both the Manufacturers/Constructors and Teams championships, after scoring ten wins which was more than any other team.

Their dominance continued into 2011, as the team fitted its Super 2000 Civic with a NGTC 2.0 litre turbocharged engine. This combination allowed the team's drivers to finish first and second in the drivers championship with 13 wins between them. The team also successfully defended both the Manufacturers/Constructors and Teams championships, giving them a clean sheet over all the silverware.

#### Honda Civic (ninth generation) (2012–2017)

2012 saw the team move in a new direction, being the first manufacturer team to enter a car built fully to the Next Generation Touring Car specification. Neal and Shedden would again partner each other in the newly named **Honda Yuasa Racing Team** after a sponsorship deal with Yuasa. After the first four rounds of the season, Shedden led the team in second place with Neal right behind him. The NGTC Civic, was the first NGTC car to win a BTCC race when it took the race two win at Brands Hatch. At the end of the season the team took all titles they were eligible for, with Shedden winning the drivers' championship for the first time, the team winning the team's championship for the third time in a row and Honda winning the manufacturers' title.

The team returned for the 2013 British Touring Car Championship season and retained Shedden and Neal as their drivers.

#### Honda Civic NGTC Type R (2017-2023)

For the 2021 season, Team Dynamics was represented again by Gordon Shedden, accompanied by Jack Sears Trophy winner Daniel Rowbottom. Shedden finished sixth and Rowbottom finished ninth in the Drivers' Championship. Competing as "Halfords Racing with Cataclean", Team Dynamics finished third in the Teams' Championship.

Shedden and Rowbottom re-united again for the 2022 season, finishing seventh and twelfth respectively in the Drivers' Championship. Halfords Racing with Cataclean ranked fourth in the Teams' Championship.

On 5 April 2023 Team Dynamics announced that they would be taking a hiatus from BTCC during the 2023 season owing to difficulties in securing commercial agreements with sponsors. They are to continue supporting One Motorsport with aspects of their operation.

### EXCELR8 Hyundai partnership (2024-)

Announced on 9 February 2024, Team Dynamics will enter a new partnership with EXCELR8. As part of the agreement, EXCELR8’s Porsche Carrera Cup and BTCC programme will now be run from the Team Dynamics base in Droitwich. Several Team Dynamics personnel, including title-winning engineer Barry Ploughman, will join the Hyundai programme.

# David Joyce (businessman)

**David Joyce** (26 February 1825 – 4 December 1904) was an American "lumber baron" and industrialist. His fortune was eventually inherited by Beatrice Joyce Kean who used it to establish the Joyce Foundation in 1948.

## Early life

David Joyce was born at Mt. Washington in the town of Sheffield, Massachusetts on February 26, 1825. His father John D. Joyce operated a blast furnace machine shop and foundry in Berkshire county (moved to Salisbury, Connecticut in 1844). John Joyce gave his son such moderate education as was afforded by the common school, until, at the age of twelve years, David Joyce was hired as the driver of one of his father’s teams. Desirous of learning and of aspiring disposition, he developed a taste for mathematics and for mechanic arts. By working for his father, he not only acquired a knowledge of machinery and the foundry business, but also became a practical civil engineer and surveyor, making the instruments of this profession with his own hands. He continued to work for his father until 1848, when, at the age of thirty years, he started his own mercantile business, assuming full control of two general stores.

## Business in Clinton, Iowa (Lyons)

Joyce left his home in Sheffield, Massachusetts, in 1854 to see the developing frontier country that then was Iowa. He spent two years in Lyons, Iowa, engaged in the livestock and agricultural product business, before returning to his general stores in Massachusetts. He enlarged his business in 1857 by purchasing that of his father, John D. Joyce, in what was known as Joyceville in the town of Salisbury. He united the businesses and continued their operation until 1860 when he disposed of his interests and moved back west. David Joyce came to Lyons, Iowa in 1861 and leased the Stumbaugh mill, purchasing his log stock in the raft and disposing of his lumber in a retail yard. In 1869 he went into partnership with S.I. Smith, and "Joyce & Smith" erected a sawmill on Ringwood slough, with a capacity of 50,000 board feet (100 m3) of lumber and twenty-five thousand shingles daily. In 1873, Joyce purchased the interest of his partner and became sole owner. As his operations increased, he became one of the most influential lumbermen of the Mississippi valley, becoming interested in the manufacture of lumber at several other points. In July, 1888, his mill was burned, only to be rebuilt by the opening of the next season. The new mill had a capacity of 100,000 board feet (200 m3) of lumber, forty thousand shingles and twenty thousand laths per day. Joyce operated this mill until his death in 1895, after which his son, W.T. Joyce, carried on the business, which continued to run as the last of the big mills of Clinton, Iowa.

## Other business interests

The lumber and other interests of David Joyce spanned almost the length and breadth of the Mississippi Valley. He at one time was president of the First National bank of Lyons and served four years as mayor of that city. When he became mayor, the bonds of the city were selling at forty-five cents on the dollar, when he left the office the treasury was in position to pay one hundred cents on the dollar for every claim which existed against it.

Joyce was also president of the Trinity County Lumber Co. (Groveton, Texas); Langford & Hall Lumber Co. (Fulton, Illinois); Benjamin Machine Co., (Chicago); Crescent Springs Railroad Company; (Shell Lake, Wisconsin)., and Shell Lake Lumber Co. (Shell Lake, Wisconsin). In addition, he was one of the biggest stockholders in the White River Lumber Co. (Mason, Wisconsin); Park Hotel (Hot Springs, Arkansas); and the Mississippi River Logging Company. He also held stock in a number of Chicago banks, and owned large tracts of timber land in Wisconsin and Texas.

Finally, Joyce was instrumental in securing the construction of the first street railroad between Lyons and Clinton, which railroad was under his general management until the fall of 1891.

title: David Joyner (athletic director)

abstract: David M. Joyner, an orthopedic physician and a former member of the Penn State University Board of Trustees, is a former athletic director for Penn State. He played football for Penn State in the 1970s. He wrestled for Penn State as well, finishing second in the 1971 NCAA Championships at heavyweight. He graduated from Penn State in 1972 with a degree in science and received his medical doctorate from Penn State in 1976. He worked as an orthopedic surgeon and later worked with the World Football League. He focused his career on sports medicine, e.g. as chair of the United States Olympic Sports Medicine Committee. He served as chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee's Sports Medicine Committee from 1993 to 2000 and oversaw the committee in charge of anti-doping during a time that is remembered as being tainted by pervasive doping. For example, US athletes Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, and the men's relay team were eventually stripped of the medals won during the 2000 Sydney Olympics. There were also allegations of unethical testing procedures. In July 2000 Dr. Wade Exum filed suit against the USOC, alleging that it "evaded its responsibility to screen and discipline athletes for drugs in its quest to produce medal-winners." He founded Joyner Sports Medicine Institute Inc., which was later bought by NovaCare. Joyner was elected by Penn State alumni to the Penn State Board of Trustees in July 2000 to a three-year term, and re-elected in 2003, 2006, and 2009. Joyner was a member of the Penn State Board of Trustees that dismissed Joe Paterno in November 2011, amid the media firestorm surrounding the announcement of charges against Jerry Sandusky, although Paterno had not been charged with any crime and had been named as a cooperating witness for the prosecution.

**David M. Joyner**, an orthopedic physician and a former member of the Penn State University Board of Trustees, is a former athletic director for Penn State.

He played football for Penn State in the 1970s. He wrestled for Penn State as well, finishing second in the 1971 NCAA Championships at heavyweight. He graduated from Penn State in 1972 with a degree in science and received his medical doctorate from Penn State in 1976. He worked as an orthopedic surgeon and later worked with the World Football League.

He focused his career on sports medicine, e.g. as chair of the United States Olympic Sports Medicine Committee. He served as chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee's Sports Medicine Committee from 1993 to 2000 and oversaw the committee in charge of anti-doping during a time that is remembered as being tainted by pervasive doping. For example, US athletes Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, and the men's relay team were eventually stripped of the medals won during the 2000 Sydney Olympics. There were also allegations of unethical testing procedures. In July 2000 Dr. Wade Exum filed suit against the USOC, alleging that it "evaded its responsibility to screen and discipline athletes for drugs in its quest to produce medal-winners."

He founded Joyner Sports Medicine Institute Inc., which was later bought by NovaCare. Joyner was elected by Penn State alumni to the Penn State Board of Trustees in July 2000 to a three-year term, and re-elected in 2003, 2006, and 2009.

Joyner was a member of the Penn State Board of Trustees that dismissed Joe Paterno in November 2011, amid the media firestorm surrounding the announcement of charges against Jerry Sandusky, although Paterno had not been charged with any crime and had been named as a cooperating witness for the prosecution. (A subsequent inquiry headed by Louis Freeh determined that Paterno was aware of allegations against Sandusky in 1998, that he had monitored an investigation of Sandusky, and that he denied both facts publicly after the Sandusky store broke nationally in 2011.)

## Athletic director

Joyner, who was at the time a university trustee, was named Penn State's acting athletic director in November 2011 after athletic director Timothy Curley was placed on administrative leave following his indictment for perjury and failing to report possible child abuse in connection with the Penn State sex abuse scandal. Joyner had no prior experience as an athletic director, and some observers have questioned the propriety of the board of trustees moving one of their own members into a position that reportedly pays an annual salary of $396,000. In a report released in November 2012, the Pennsylvania Auditor General recommended that Penn State should avoid such transfers, stating, "this movement gives rise to reasonable public perceptions of insider influence and conflicting interests, particularly when the movement involves persons at executive levels." Notwithstanding this recommendation, in January 2013 Penn State announced that Joyner had been named permanent AD.

Joyner pledged to rehabilitate the athletic department and return to core values as an academic unit, saying, "Now if we've lost some of that luster because of things that have happened, I can tell you that I've never lost that core value, and this athletic department will reflect that core value."

In October 2012 Joyner and Penn State president Rodney Erickson were booed by fans attending a Penn State football game.

# Team Expansion

**Team Expansion** is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) charitable organization that establishes churches around the world in places not well served by the Christian faith. Many Team Expansion workers are associated with the Restoration Movement of churches, but as an agency, Team Expansion is non-denominational.

## History

Team Expansion began as a prayer movement on the campus of what was Kentucky Christian University in 1978. In 1982, five missionaries headed to Montevideo, Uruguay to start the very first Team Expansion work. In 1983, International Services – the stateside support team for all international workers – was launched and headquartered first in the basement of Doug and Penny Lucas' home in Covington, then later in the home rented by John and Becky Bliffen in Cincinnati, Ohio and then in 1984 on the campus of Cincinnati Bible College, now known as Cincinnati Christian University.

Between 1985 and 1996, Team Expansion launched multiple new teams, including Venezuela, Ukraine, Ireland, and Tanzania. In 1997, the leadership of Southeast Christian Church invited Team Expansion to move its headquarters to Louisville. In June 1997, there were 120 full-time missionaries working around the world with 22 different people groups. Teams continued to go into some of the most difficult places, including Bosnia and Kosovo.

In 2001, there were 199 full-time missionaries, including three brand new works in Italy, Japan, and Louisville, Kentucky, where the workers are focused on a sizable Hispanic population. By 2002, more than 8,000 people had been baptized and more than 110 churches had been established around the world.

In 2019, Team Expansion reported 6,673 new baptisms and a total attendance of 48,538 around the world. With 20-25% of the reports available for 2020, Team Expansion had seen 5,584 new baptisms, 1,628 new “simple churches,” and 29,892 total average worship attendance.

## Partnerships and projects

Team Expansion participates with the International Conference on Missions (formerly National Missionary Convention) especially with the Unleashed for the Unreached exhibit. Several Team Expansion leaders were involved in the decision to create the Restoration Revolution 10-year movement toward missions. Team Expansion participated in Light the Fire, a missional prayer initiative born out of the Restoration Revolution movement.

Team Expansion works extensively with the Kairos Course, a course designed to see the whole Church mobilized for cross-cultural mission to the world's least-reached peoples. Team Expansion also works with the "Jonathan Project," which seeks and trains men and women who have characteristics like the biblical character, Jonathan, as evidenced in 1 Samuel 14. Many people from Team Expansion are using the tools and resources from the Zúme Disciple Making Movement.

## Home office

Emerald Hills is Team Expansion's campus for prayer, retreat and learning. The campus' 61 acres outside of Louisville house Team Expansion's Prayer Center and Atrium facility. Discovery School of the Outdoors (DSOTO), an experiential outdoor learning program, is conducted in the low- and high-ropes course at Emerald Hills. Also staged at Emerald Hills is Brigada Online, a growing collection of web- and email-based resources. Nearly 10,000 individuals have subscribed to the service, which publishes a weekly newsletter, "Brigada Today," as well as a website.

title: SS Iroquois (1900)

abstract: SS Iroquois was a Canadian steamboat ferry active in British Columbia, Canada. She was launched on 19 February 1900 at Port Moody. She ran from Sidney to Nanaimo, making stops at the southern Gulf Islands. In 1902, she was taken out of service, replaced by Strathcona. Three months later, Strathcona broke down, and Iroquois was returned to service. On 10 April 1911, Iroquois was overloaded with poorly secured cargo and sank in a heavy storm when the cargo shifted as she left Sidney. At least 21 people were killed and Iroquois′ captain was charged with, but acquitted of, manslaughter. In 1980, Iroquois′ propeller was salvaged. It is part of a memorial in Iroquois Park, a municipal park in Sidney.
