# Josh Bruce

**Joshua Bruce** (born 8 June 1992) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who last played for the Western Bulldogs in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played for the Greater Western Sydney Giants between 2012 and 2013 and the St Kilda Saints between 2014 and 2019. Bruce was St Kilda's leading goalkicker in 2015 and the Western Bulldogs' leading goalkicker in 2021.

## Early life

Bruce was born in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory and attended St Edmund's College and Canberra Grammar School. His older brother, Aaron, was rookie-listed by Sydney in 2008. Bruce played junior football for the Eastlake Football Club in the AFL Canberra competition. Greater Western Sydney drafted Bruce as an ACT zone selection to play with their TAC Cup team in 2010. He continued to play with the Giants in 2011 while the club was competing in the North East Australian Football League (NEAFL).

## AFL career

### Greater Western Sydney (2012–2013)

Bruce made his debut in round 5, 2012 against the Western Bulldogs at Manuka Oval, in his home territory, as a late replacement for the injured Chad Cornes. Bruce played just the three games in his debut season, kicking two goals. Bruce played in eleven games for just the one win in 2013, playing mostly as a key defender. At the end of 2013, Bruce was traded to St Kilda.

### St Kilda (2014–2019)

Bruce played his first game for St Kilda in round 5, 2014 against Essendon. While quiet initially, he was tried as a forward in round 19 against Gold Coast. After a three-goal display, his next pre-season was spent training with the forwards. In 2015, he had a break-out year up forward, playing in all 22 games, and kicking a six-goal haul against Gold Coast and five-goal displays against Essendon (twice) and Adelaide. He went on to become St Kilda's leading goalkicker for 2015, kicking 50 goals and finishing eighth in that year's Coleman Medal tally. Bruce had a similarly consistent year in 2016; though he kicked less goals for the year, this still included another five-goal haul against Essendon. Bruce's output dropped slightly in the first half of the 2017 season, and he was dropped for the first time since 2014, having played every game in 2015–2016. Upon his return to the senior team, he kicked four goals against Adelaide and had an improved finish to the year.

At the conclusion of the 2019 season Bruce requested a trade to the Western Bulldogs. He was traded on 16 October.

### Western Bulldogs (2020–2023)

After a mediocre 2020 AFL season, Bruce stamped his credentials as one of the competition's menacing key forwards when he kicked 10 goals against North Melbourne in the 3rd round of the 2021 AFL season. Bruce enjoyed a consistent year in 2021, kicking 48 goals in 20 matches before his season was cut short by an ACL rupture. On the 22nd of August 2023, Bruce announced his retirement effective immediately.

# Charles Bernstein (composer)

**Charles Harold Bernstein** (born February 28, 1943) is an American composer of film and television scores. He is a Daytime Emmy Award winner, and a two-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee. Since 1995, he has been a member of the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Music Branch. He has also been a member of the Board of Directors for both the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and the Society of Composers & Lyricists.

## Early life and education

Bernstein was born in Minneapolis to mother Mildred Wolf (1910–2011) and father Charles Bernstein, Sr. (d.1952). His mother was a pianist. As for his father, he "was involved in writing and producing music in his early career," according to Bernstein. Bernstein also has a sister Carol Auslander and a stepfather Julius Wolf. Bernstein studied music at the Juilliard School.

## Career

Bernstein did his first score for the 1969 Oscar-winning documentary, *Czechoslovakia 1968*. According to Bernstein, "I met the director, Denis Sanders, through friends at UCLA. It was a brilliant film, and I convinced Denis that I knew what sort of music would tell the story of the Russian invasion of its smaller neighbor. The film was unusual because it had no spoken words, only music and occasional sound effects to tell the story."

His first Hollywood score was for the United Artists film, *White Lightning* (1973), starring Burt Reynolds. The film marked the first of many collaborations between Bernstein and director Joseph Sargent. Bernstein also scored the sequel to the film, *Gator* (1976). Other films Bernstein scored during the 1970s include *Hex* (1973), *That Man Bolt* (1973), *Mr. Majestyk* (1974), *Trackdown* (1976), *A Small Town in Texas* (1976), *Viva Knievel!* (1977), *Outlaw Blues* (1977) and *Love at First Bite* (1979). He even wrote the dance music in the latter film.

During the 1980s, Bernstein scored the music for the horror films *The Entity* (1982), *Cujo* (1983), *April Fool's Day* (1986) and *Deadly Friend* (1986). Bernstein also scored non-horror films such as *Foolin' Around* (1980).

He continued to score music for documentaries such as *Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision* (1994) and *After Innocence* (2005), with the former winning the Academy Award for Best Documentary. He also scored music for made-for-television movies such as *Sadat* (1983), *Miss Evers' Boys* (1997), *The Long Island Incident* (1998) and *Out of the Ashes* (2003).

Bernstein reunited with *Cujo* director Lewis Teague to score his films, *Cante Jondo* (2007) and *Charlotta-TS* (2010).

### *A Nightmare on Elm Street*

Under the recommendation of his agent, Bernstein met with Wes Craven and was hired to score his film, *A Nightmare on Elm Street* (1984). On working with Craven: "Wes was easy to work with, he gave me a lot of freedom, but we could discuss ideas and approaches. In many ways he was an ideal director to communicate with because he listened well and was open to all ideas." Bernstein used an electric score since the film was low budget.

Bernstein did not return to score the music for the other films in the franchise, though Renny Harlin briefly talked to him about scoring the fourth film.

### Use of his music

Quentin Tarantino has included Bernstein's music from *White Lightning* and *The Entity* in the soundtracks of his films *Kill Bill: Volume 1* (2003) and *Inglourious Basterds* (2009). Various hip hop artists have sampled Bernstein’s film scores, such as Logic, who has used his music from Love at First Bite for his song Vinyl Days, as well as Drake & 21 Savage, who have used a choral sample of his music from *Invasion of the Bee Girls* for their song Rich Flex.

## Personal life

Bernstein is married to Georgianne Cowan. They have one daughter, Serina. They reside in Los Angeles.

In addition to film composing, Bernstein is also the author of two books. One of them is titled *Film Music and Everything Else*. The other is *Movie Music: An Insider’s View*. He has also taught courses in the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles.

Bernstein has been a long-serving member of the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences since 1995. He is also in the Board of Directors for both the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and the Society of Composers & Lyricists. He co-founded the latter organization.

## Plot

Richard Gannon discovers his wife Amy has been cheating on him with a man called Jim Williams and accidentally kills her in a fit of anger by pushing her over a cliff. He is arrested and sentenced to death but the judge recommends mercy and asks the Home Secretary for a reprieve.

The Home Secretary at first refuses, but when he mistakenly comes to believe that his own wife is unfaithful with a former lover, he realises how easy it would have been to kill her.

After this, he grants a reprieve for Gannon and resolves to show his wife more affection.

The chapter headings were:

* Condemned to Death.
* The Power of Love.
* Leave my House, you Scoundrel.
* Should a faithless woman be destroyed.
* I have killed Her.
* The Vigil of the Night.

title: Bernard Granville (MP died 1701)

# Bernard Granville (MP died 1701)

**Bernard Granville** (4 March 1631 – 14 June 1701) of Birdcage Walk, Westminster, and Apps Court, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, a member of an ancient and prominent Westcountry family, was a courtier of King Charles II who served as a Member of Parliament for several Cornish constituencies.

## Origins

He was born the 4th son of Sir Bevil Grenville (1596–1643) of Stowe, Kilkhampton in Cornwall, and lord of the manor of Bideford in Devon, a Royalist soldier and MP for Cornwall who died in heroic circumstances at the Battle of Lansdowne (1643). His elder brother was John Granville, 1st Earl of Bath, who played an important role in effecting the Restoration of the Monarchy to King Charles II in 1660, and whose descendants died out in the male line on the death of the 3rd Earl in 1711. The 1st Earl of Bath, having become interested in his family's history and examined his supposed descent from Sir Richard de Grenville (died after 1142) (*alias* de Grainvilla, de Greinvill, etc.) one of the Twelve Knights of Glamorgan who served under Robert FitzHamon (died 1107), in the conquest of Glamorgan in Wales, changed the spelling of the family name to "Granville" from "Grenville" apparently to conform with the spelling of the Norman manor at which his family originated at the time of the Norman Conquest.

## Career

He was educated at Angers Academy and became a courtier, holding various public offices.

## Serves the king in exile

He rendered useful service to King Charles II and his family during his exile in France during the Commonwealth, and served as Gentleman of the Bedchamber to Henry Stuart, Duke of Gloucester (1640-1660) (the King's youngest brother), during his exile.

The Restoration of the Monarchy was effected in 1660 by his elder brother the 1st Earl of Bath, the principal directing role being played by their first cousin George Monck, 1st Duke of Albemarle. It was to Bernard Granville that the Duke entrusted the last vital task in the process, of carrying a despatch to the King in exile informing him that all was ready for his reception in England.

## Royal courtier

After the Restoration he served in several prominent roles as a courtier of King Charles II, namely Gentleman of the Horse and Groom of the Bedchamber from 1672 to 1688. He also obtained several lucrative royal offices, including: Underkeeper of St James's Park, a royal park adjoining St James's Palace in Westminster, for life from 1660; joint surveyor and receiver of green wax fines (1678–79); Master of the Swans (1683–1692) and comptroller-general of wine licences (1685–1690).

## Political career

He was elected an MP for Liskeard in 1661, after which he was returned almost continuously as MP for a series of Cornish constituencies (Launceston, 1679, Saltash, 1681, Plymouth, 1685, Saltash, 1689, Launceston, 1690 and Lostwithiel, 1695). In 1675 he was appointed envoy extraordinary to Florence, Genoa and Savoy. He had a London house in Birdcage Walk, Westminster (looking onto St James's Park) and purchased an estate at Apps Court in Surrey.

## Marriage and children

He married Anne Morley (died 20 September 1701), only daughter and heiress of The Hon. Col. Cuthbert/Cutbert Morley (buried in St Mary's Church, Lambeth, 30 June 1669) of Hawnby/Hornby, Yorkshire, which brought him several Yorkshire properties. Her mother was Catherine Leke, a daughter of Francis Leke, 1st Earl of Scarsdale (1581–1655), a Royalist during the Civil War. By his wife he had three sons and two daughters as follows:

* Sir Bevil Granville (d.1706), eldest son and heir, a soldier who served as Governor of Pendennis Castle in Cornwall and as Governor of Barbados. He was a Member of Parliament for Fowey, Cornwall, in 1685. Died childless.
* George Granville, 1st Baron Lansdowne (d.1734), 2nd son, elevated to the Peerage in 1711 as "Baron Lansdowne of Bideford", named after the Battle of Lansdowne at which his grandfather had met a heroic death and after his father's Devonshire seat which the family had held since Norman times. He served as Secretary at War and Comptroller and Treasurer of the Household to Queen Anne. Died without children, when his title became extinct.
* Col. Bernard Granville (c.1670-1723), 3rd son, of Buckland, Gloucestershire, Lieutenant-Governor of Hull, an MP for Camelford and Fowey in Cornwall. He married Mary Westcombe (d.1747) (buried in Gloucester Cathedral), a daughter of Sir Martin Westcombe, 1st Baronet, Consul at Cadiz. His daughter was Mary Delany (1700-1788), an artist, letter-writer, and bluestocking, known for her "paper-mosaicks" and botanic drawing, needlework and her lively correspondence. His eldest son was Bernard Granville (d.1775) of Calwich Abbey, Staffordshire, which he purchased from the Fleetwood family, who died unmarried in 1775, being the last surviving male of the ancient Granville family. He bequeathed his estates to his nephew Rev. John D'Ewes (1774-1826), who in 1786 in accordance with the terms of the bequest, assumed the surname and arms of Granville in lieu of his patronymic. However he too died without surviving children, leaving as his heir his nephew Court D'Ewes (1779-1848) of Chadley, Wellesbourne, Warwickshire, his brother's son. Court also assumed the surname and arms of Granville. His children, the family of "Granville of Wellesbourne" continued at that seat until after 1937.
* Anne Granville (d.1730), wife of Sir John Stanley, 1st Baronet (d.1744) of Grangegorman, childless.
* Elizabeth Granville, a maid of honour who died unmarried.

## Death and burial

Granville died on 14 June 1701, aged 71 and was buried on 22 June 1701 in St Mary's Church, Lambeth, Surrey, next to Lambeth Palace, the London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was buried in the same grave as his father-in-law who died in 1699 and his wife, who died on 20 September 1701. His monument is described in Thomas Allen's 1827 work *History and Antiquities of the Parish of Lambeth*, 1827 as "a beautiful monument of white marble ornamented with cherubs, fruit, flowers, etc.", situated on the "north side of the stairs leading to the north gallery". In 1872 it was described as "out of sight and partially dismantled". No mention was made of it in the 1951 work Survey of London: Church of St Mary, Lambeth.

# Detroit Community Scrip

**Detroit Community Scrip**, also called **Detroit Cheers**, was a local currency used in Detroit, Michigan, first issued in April 2009. Modeled upon the local scrip that were used during the Great Depression, it was being used to restore local financial confidence following decades of economic decline. The Cheers are backed by U.S. currency and are fully exchangeable for an equal amount of U.S. dollars, backed by several Detroit-based businesses. In April 2009, there were $4,500 worth of cheers in circulation. Businesses could sign up to be issuers and print scrip after depositing a matching amount in U.S. dollars and then be entitled to print Cheers.

## History

The Detroit Scrip was first issued in April 2009, by Foran's Grand Trunk Pub and The Park Bar or Motor City Brewing Works. Including the issuers, there were 17 initial businesses accepting the Cheer.

By November 22, 2009, the official website of the Detroit Community Scrip was no longer live.

## Design

Detroit Cheers were available in only the $3 denomination; the standardized face of the Cheer features *The Spirit of Detroit* over the Detroit skyline. The back of the bill was designed by the issuing business and could vary.

| AllMusic |  |

In a retrospective review, AllMusic said, "Perry and Gerrard continued to experiment and improve with *The Serpent's Egg*, as much a leap forward as *Spleen and Ideal* was some years previously", heaping particular praise on the album opener "The Host of Seraphim", which it called "so jaw-droppingly good that almost the only reaction is sheer awe".

## Legacy

* Electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers used a reversed sample of "Song of Sophia" in "Song to the Siren" in 1992, later also included on the album *Exit Planet Dust* in 1995.
* Orkidea sampled "The Host of Seraphim" in his 1999 single "Unity".

* French rapper Keny Arkana sampled "The Host Of Seraphim" on her song "Je Passe Le Salut", from her album "L'Esquisse Vol. 2" released in 2011.
* "In the Kingdom of the Blind the One-Eyed Are Kings" was also covered by death metal act Cattle Decapitation as a bonus track on their 2019 album *Death Atlas*.

"The Host of Seraphim" was featured in the 1992 non-narrative documentary film *Baraka* (and was included in the film's soundtrack), the theatrical trailers for the 2003 film *Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines* and the 2006 film *Home of the Brave*, in the final scenes of the 2007 film *The Mist*, in the fire scene of the 2010 film *Legend of the guardians*, *How to get away with murder* (season 3 episode 15 and season 6 episode 9) and in the 2018 film *Lords of Chaos*.

A short excerpt of "Ullyses" was also used as background music in the BBC Horizon episode #30.7 "Hunt For The Doomsday Asteroid" in February 1994, originally broadcast ahead of the predicted impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with the planet Jupiter in July that same year.

## Club career

Fei Yu was promoted to the senior squad of top tier club Shanghai Shenhua during the 2010 season, however it wasn't until the end of the 2011 season that he made his debut in a 0-0 draw against Nanchang Hengyuan on 29 October 2011. After only playing in three games for the club he would not renew his contract out of a desire for competitive opportunities elsewhere.

On 2 March 2013, it was announced that Fei had reached an agreement to join Polish I liga team Warta Poznań. Fei made his debut on 13 April 2013, coming on as substitute against Olimpia Grudziądz in a 1–0 defeat. He would however be released by the club less than a week later. Fei would go to Portugal to sign with Campeonato Nacional de Seniores side Sertanense in September 2013 and he made his debut for the club on 1 December 2013 in a 2-1 win against Carapinheirense.

On 30 July 2014, Fei returned to China when he transferred to China League One side Shenzhen Ruby. He would go on to establish himself as a regular within the team. By the end of the 2018 China League One campaign he would play an integral part within the team that came runners-up in the division and gained promotion to the top tier. Despite the promotion, with his contract ending he was free to leave and on 26 February 2019, Fei transferred to League One newcomer Nantong Zhiyun.

On 21 April 2022 he joined top tier club Dalian Professional for the start of the 2022 Chinese Super League season. He made his debut in a league game on 4 June 2022 against Henan Songshan Longmen in a match that ended in a 2-2 draw.

# Detroit Compuware Ambassadors

The **Detroit Compuware Ambassadors** were an elite Midget Major ice hockey team playing in the Tier I Elite Hockey League. The Ambassadors previously had separate franchises that competed in the North American Hockey League and in the Ontario Hockey League for two seasons from 1990 to 1992. The Compuware Ambassadors were based in Detroit, Michigan.

## History

The Detroit Compuware Hockey organization was founded in the mid 1970s by Compuware owner/president Peter Karmanos and his partner Thomas Thewes. The organization grew to include all age levels of hockey including Junior 'A'. The Junior 'A 'team competed in the North American Hockey League. Some of its alumni include Eric Lindros, Pat LaFontaine, Mike Modano, Al Iafrate, David Legwand, Derian Hatcher and Doug Weight. The program was so successful that its owners endeavored to expand the Compuware Ambassador program to play at a higher level.

Karmanos had previous experience in the OHL, owning the Windsor Spitfires team during the 1980s that won the J. Ross Robertson Cup in 1988. Karmanos sold the Spitfires in 1989 after a failed attempt to relocate the team across the river. Karmanos also failed in his bid to buy out and relocate the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. Failing which, Karmanos chose the route of an expansion team. The **Detroit Compuware Ambassadors** were granted as an expansion franchise in the Ontario Hockey League on December 11, 1989. Detroit became the first American-based team in the league. Andy Weidenbach was named the team's first coach. Following Karmanos to Detroit from the Windsor Compuware Spitfires would be team president Jim Rutherford and general manager Tony McDonald.

### First season

Detroit lost its first seven games before posting its first victory, 7-3 over the Owen Sound Platers at Cobo Arena October 4, 1990. After a 3-game win streak, the Ambassadors would drop 11 straight games. Despite the losing, there were some bright lights. First overall draft pick Pat Peake with 39 goals & 51 assists was the team's offensive leader, figuring in over 40 percent of the team's goals.

Despite finishing last overall in the OHL their first season, the Ambassadors executives stuck to the same plan that help bring success to the Spitfires. The Ambassadors earned the reputation as a physical team. Six different players would amass over 100 penalty minutes, including captain Paul Mitton (152 minutes).

### Second season

Detroit used its first overall draft pick in 1991 to select Todd Harvey. The Ambassadors also selected Ryan Sittler (2nd round) and Anson Carter (14th) in the same draft, but both elected to play collegiate hockey.

After dropping five in a row to start the season, Detroit won 7 of its next 9 games to enter November winning half their games. Although the Ambassadors were much improved, Rutherford decided to make a coaching change November 30 after a 7-5 loss in Niagara Falls. Coach Andy Weidenbach was let go. Detroit stood 11-16-0 at the time. Jim Rutherford moved behind the bench to coach the rest of the season. Rutherford played 13 seasons in the NHL as a goalie, spending most of his time with the Detroit Red Wings.

Detroit finished with a record of 23-42-1. Pat Peake led the team in scoring again with 41 goals and 52 assists. Detroit made the last playoff spot in the Emms division finishing 7th place. Detroit bussed to Niagara Falls to start their first-ever playoff series against the second place Thunder. The Ambassadors nearly pulled off a major upset, taking a three-games-to-one lead in the series after a 5-3 victory over Niagara Falls March 19. But the Thunder came back to win the final three games of the series, including game seven in Niagara Falls, 7-2.

After their second season was completed, the Compuware Ambassadors were renamed Detroit Junior Red Wings.

## NHL alumni

Seven players from the Compuware Ambassadors OHL team went on to NHL careers.

Pat Peake was the first draft pick in the history of the Compuware Ambassadors franchise, and his #14 was retired by the Whalers organization. Peake was chosen 14th overall in the 1st round of the 1991 NHL Entry Draft by the Washington Capitals.

## Uniforms and logos

The Compuware Ambassadors colours were brown, orange & white. The home jerseys had a white background with brown & orange trim. The road jerseys were an orange background with white & brown trim.

The logo displays the silhouette of the Ambassador Bridge against the backdrop of downtown Detroit, surrounded by the words compuware in a circle, and the Ambassadors in front.

## Arenas

For the 1990–91 season, the Ambassadors played home games at Cobo Arena. During the summer of 1991, Olympia Arenas Inc. decided maintaining ice surfaces at both Cobo Arena and Joe Louis Arena was too costly, so the plug was pulled on Cobo Arena.

During the Ambassadors' one season at Cobo, maintenance crews would shuttle zambonis between Cobo Arena and Joe Louis Arena by driving them along the riverfront down Atwater Street.

For the 1991–92 season, the Ambassadors played home games at Joe Louis Arena, the same home arena as the Detroit Red Wings of the NHL.

# Riverside Ground

The **Riverside Ground**, known for sponsorship reasons as the **Seat Unique Riverside**, is a cricket venue in Chester-le-Street, County Durham, England. It is home to Durham County Cricket Club, and has also hosted several international matches.

## History

Durham's acceptance into first-class cricket in 1991 was made conditional on the building of a new Test match-standard cricket ground. Work began on the new ground at the Riverside in a location overlooked by Lumley Castle in 1990, with development continuing in phases. Work on the outfield and playing surface began in 1993. In its first three seasons in the County Championship, the Club played in a variety of locations around the county, but the Riverside ground was pronounced ready for cricket in time for the 1995 season, even though many of the buildings were still temporary or unfinished. The ground hosted its first game, Durham *vs.* Warwickshire, on 18 May 1995.

Other facilities at the ground continued being built over subsequent years, and the club's Don Robson Pavilion was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1996. The full ground capacity, including permanent and temporary seating, is 17,000.

In September 2008 plans were announced concerning further developments to the ground. These included installing permanent floodlights, and extending the County Durham stand so that permanent seating surrounds the entire ground, raising the ground capacity to around 20,000. A new entrance building was also planned to house the box office and club shop, as well as offices for club officials, a new perimeter road and a hotel. These developments were seen as a necessity, as the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have specified that they must take place in order for the ground to secure its status as a venue for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.

In April 2015, planning permission was granted to erect six permanent 55-metre floodlights around the ground. Within weeks, the lights were in action as Durham Jets hosted the Yorkshire Vikings in a T20 Blast match.

On 16 September 2017, during the Riverside Ground's hosting of England's Twenty20 International match against the West Indies, a stand in the North-East Terrace partially collapsed. Three spectators were injured, and part of the stand was evacuated.

Irish pop vocal band Westlife were due to perform at the stadium on 18 July 2020 for their "Stadiums in the Summer Tour" but the concert was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

## International matches

The development of the Riverside into a significant cricketing venue was underscored in 1999, when it hosted two World Cup matches involving Pakistan, Scotland, Australia and Bangladesh, and then in 2000 when it staged two One-Day International matches in a triangular series between England, Zimbabwe and the West Indies. In 2001 a One-Day International between Australia and Pakistan was abandoned without a ball bowled due to rain.

2003 saw the Riverside Ground raised to Test match status; it has hosted six England Test matches: against Zimbabwe in 2003, Bangladesh in 2005, West Indies in 2007 and 2009, Australia in 2013 and Sri Lanka in 2016. The fourth day of the West Indies Test, 18 June 2007, saw Paul Collingwood hitting a century on his home pitch for England against the West Indies, and so becoming the first local Durham player to hit a Test century at the Riverside.

It was announced in July 2009 that the ground would host the fourth Ashes Test match of the 2013 Ashes series, the culmination of Durham's growth as a First Class County since 1992 coming after Durham missed out to Cardiff in its bid to host an Ashes test in 2009. Hosting an Ashes Test match was predicted to generate £20 million for the local economy.

The first scheduled Twenty20 International at the ground, against South Africa in 2008, was abandoned due to heavy rain. In 2012 South Africa returned for the Riverside Ground's second Twenty20 match, defeating England by 7 wickets, in a match held alongside a women's T20I against the West Indies. A second T20I double header was hosted in August 2013, where England defeated Australia in both men's and women's matches. The women's match formed the final encounter of the 2013 women's Ashes series. Further Twenty20 matches were held against West Indies in 2017 and New Zealand in 2023.

ODI matches held included against India in 2002, New Zealand in 2004, Pakistan in 2010, Australia and South Africa in 2013. Further international matches held at the Riverside Ground included two ODI matches, against Sri Lanka in 2014 and New Zealand in 2015, and a Test match against Sri Lanka held in 2016.

As part of the conditions of a package of financial support announced in October 2016, the ECB imposed a number of sanctions on Durham County Cricket Club, including removal of the club's eligibility to bid to stage Test cricket at the Riverside Ground. The club will still be eligible to bid to host one-day and Twenty20 international matches, with a Twenty20 international against the West Indies scheduled to be held in 2017. It hosted three matches at the 2019 Cricket World Cup. Riverside Ground is the northernmost cricket ground in the world which has hosted a test match. Additional England ODI matches include against Australia in 2018, Sri Lanka in 2021, South Africa in 2022 and scheduled versus Australia in 2024.

## Sponsorship

On 4 June 2010 it was announced that the stadium would be renamed the 'Emirates Durham International Cricket Ground' for sponsorship reasons. In February 2016 it was again renamed, this time to 'Emirates Riverside', following the extension of Emirates' contract with the county until 2022. The ground reverted back to The Riverside Cricket Ground at the end of 2021 season due to the impact of Covid 19 on the airline.

# Dragon Fighter (video game)

***Dragon Fighter*** (ドラゴンファイター) is a fantasy-themed side-scrolling action game developed by Natsume for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was first published in Japan by Towa Chiki in 1990 and in North America by SOFEL in 1992.

## Plot

Set in a fantasy world, an evil warlock named Zabbaong attacks the once peaceful land of Baljing with his army of monsters, leaving the country in ruins. The Dragon Spirit, the guardian deity of the Baljing people, decides to take vengeance on Zabbaong by bringing the statue of a legendary warrior to life. The warrior must travel to Zabbaong's lair at Mount Gia in order to slay the evil warlock and avenge the people of Baljing.

## Gameplay

The player takes control of a magical human fighter who has the ability to transform himself into a flying dragon. As the fighter, the player can run, crouch, jump, and attack with his sword as he would in most side-scrolling action games.

As the fighter, the player can also shoot a projectile attack by holding the B button until the character begins to flash, and waiting until the attack is fully charged. The types of projectile fired by the player depends on the color of the player's outfit, which can be changed by picking up certain power-up items labeled with the letters G (green, the player's default color), B (blue), and R (red). Underneath his life gauge is a "metamorphosis gauge" that will gradually be filled as the player destroys his enemies. When the metamorphosis gauge is at least halfway full, it will flash, and the player can transform into the dragon by pressing and holding "up" on the d-pad at the peak of a jump (the peaks of any jumps where the "A" button is let go prematurely also count). As a dragon, the player will hover in the air while the screen scrolls automatically to the right, similarly to a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up game. The dragon's attack corresponds to the color of the player's outfit. While the player can fly in any of the eight directions, they cannot turn around and the dragon will only face and attack to the right. As a dragon, the player's metamorphosis gauge will gradually be drained out. The player will transform back to a fighter if the metamorphosis gauge empties out completely, and the player can also transform back at any time by pressing the "down" and "A" buttons simultaneously. Though the instruction manual says this can also be done by rapidly pressing the A button, doing so does not work.

Other power-ups (besides the different color outfits) include energy restoring potions, a flower that helps fill the metamorphosis gauge faster, and a ring that destroys all on-screen enemies. At the end of each stage, the player will receive a staff that will increase their maximum health. The staff will also partly refill the players health.

There are six stages in all, each with their own guardian awaiting to challenge the warrior at the end. The game will end if the player loses all of their life power and only three chances are provided to continue at the stage where they died before the player is forced to start all over.

# She Wouldn't Be Gone

"**She Wouldn't Be Gone**" is a song written by Jennifer Adan and Cory Batten and recorded by American country music singer Blake Shelton. It was released in August 2008 as the first single from Shelton's 2008 album *Startin' Fires*. The song became Shelton's fifth number one hit on the US *Billboard* Hot Country Songs chart in February 2009.

## Content

"She Wouldn't Be Gone" is a mid-tempo in which the male narrator reflects on his relationship and a lover who has just left him. He expresses regrets over having not attempted to keep her from leaving, saying that if he had tried to keep her (by bringing her flowers, watching sunsets with her, and paying attention to her needs), thinking "maybe she wouldn't be gone".

Co-writer Cory Batten came up with the song's opening line ("Red roadside wildflower, if I had only picked you / Took you home and set you on the counter / Oh, at least a time or two / Maybe she'd have thought it through") after seeing a patch of red wildflowers outside his window. Co-writer Jennifer Adan said that she wanted the song's narrator to have a "feeling of desperation" by realizing after how what he should have done to keep his lover from leaving. When he recorded the song, Shelton said that he had "been able to dump more emotion into that vocal" than any of his previous material.

## Critical reception

Brady Vercher of Engine 145 gave the song a "thumbs down". He stated that "Shelton's phrasing and breathing are awkward enough to not make the song easily memorable or singable, decreasing its chances at chart success." Allmusic's Steve Leggett considered it the strongest track on *Startin' Fires*, saying that it was "a brilliant portrayal of a man who finally finds his passion and love for a woman when it's way too late and she's already gone, and the chorus swells to passionate, almost white-knuckle perfection. It's a great song and Shelton gives it everything."

## Music video

The music video was directed by Scott Speer and premiered in late 2008.
