The modern pentathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics was represented by two events: Individual competition and Team competition. As usual in Olympic modern pentathlon, one competition was held and each competitor's score was included to the Individual competition event results table and was also added to his teammates' scores to be included to the Team competition event results table. This competition consisted of 5 disciplines:
  - Equestrian, held on July 18 at Bromont.
  - Fencing, held on July 19 at Université de Montréal.

  - Swimming, held on July 21 at Montreal Olympic Pool
  - Cross-country, held on July 22 at Olympic Stadium and Maisonneuve Park. Boris Onischenko of the Soviet Union was ejected from the competition during the fencing event after it was discovered he had wired his épée with a concealed push button circuit breaker that enabled him to register a hit at any time. Onischenko's results were deleted from the records, and he was spirited away from the Olympic Village almost immediately, never competing in events outside the USSR again.

# Travis Jervey

**Travis Richard Jervey** (born May 5, 1972) is an American former professional football player who was a running back on the National Football League (NFL). He played for the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers, and Atlanta Falcons. With the Packers, he won Super Bowl XXXI over the New England Patriots and participated in the 1998 Pro Bowl.

## Early life

Jervey attended Wando High School in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina and played collegiately at The Citadel in neighboring Charleston, where he was the backup to Everette Sands for three years. Jervey also considered playing for Hawaii, but that program only offered him a partial scholarship. During his senior season, Jervey set a school record with a 96-yard run against VMI in the Oyster Bowl. Jervey was later inducted into both The Citadel and South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame.

## Professional career

### Green Bay Packers

Jervey was a fifth round pick (170th overall) of the Packers in the 1995 NFL draft; lead scout John Dorsey suggested taking Terrell Davis with the pick but general manager Ron Wolf was worried about Davis' injury history and took Jervey instead. In the 1996 season, Jervey participated in the "NFL's Fastest Man" competition and placed fourth. After playing exclusively at running back in college, Jervey began playing on special teams with the Packers and made the 1998 Pro Bowl as a special teams player. In 1998, Jervey started five games in place of the injured Dorsey Levens before sustaining a broken ankle. As his rookie contract was up after 1998, the Jacksonville Jaguars originally offered Jervey a three-year contract but later rescinded; he re-signed on a one-year deal with the Packers.

### San Francisco 49ers

In 1999, he signed a four-year free agent contract with the 49ers worth $6 million. While still recovering from a broken ankle, Jervey claimed to take testosterone shots, but the league said Jervey took steroids and suspended him for four games. In the 2000 season, Jervey returned kicks for the 49ers, but his season came to an early end after he suffered a broken collarbone against the St. Louis Rams. After reportedly taking a pay cut prior to the 1999 season, Jervey would not negotiate a lower level of compensation for the 2000 season and was released on March 19 in what was viewed as a move to save salary cap space.

### Atlanta Falcons

Jervey signed with the Atlanta Falcons on May 1, 2001. He played in every game that year, mostly on special teams. He was re-signed for the 2002 season, but a torn anterior cruciate ligament ended his season in late October. His 2003 season with the Falcons was derailed by a neck sprain sustained late in the season.

## Personal life

While playing for the Packers, Jervey lived with teammate LeShon Johnson in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The two owned a pet lion named Nala after previously being dissuaded from owning a monkey. He was arrested for speeding in his Ferrari and marijuana possession in February 1998, but the marijuana charges were later dropped when it was determined that law enforcement misidentified a substance in his car. Jervey is married. He is an avid surfer, and previously held land in Dominical, Puntarenas when he wintered in Costa Rica to ride waves.

Jervey returned to football in a one-off coaching appearance for the American team in the 2015 Medal of Honor Bowl.

title: Irish clothing

abstract: Traditional Irish clothing is the traditional attire which would have been worn historically by Irish people in Ireland. During the 16th-century Tudor conquest of Ireland, the Dublin Castle administration prohibited many of Ireland’s clothing traditions. A series of photos captured by French photographers Marguerite Mespoulet and Madeleine Mignon-Alba in 1913 included images of Irish people in traditional clothing. Some of these photos were taken in Claddagh, a town thought to have retained much of its traditional attire. Aran jumpers were invented in the early 20th century. Irish Tweed is a woven fabric incorporating multi-coloured neps - scraps of wool said originally to have been swept from the floor under the looms at the end of the day, and incorporated into the next day's weaving. In the past, much weaving was done in the home, with the fabric being delivered to a broker. Today, a few mills exist around Ireland which re-create this tweed in the traditional manner. Donegal is the heartland of Irish tweed and Donegal tweed is better known than other Irish tweeds.

In the past, much weaving was done in the home, with the fabric being delivered to a broker. Today, a few mills exist around Ireland which re-create this tweed in the traditional manner. Donegal is the heartland of Irish tweed and Donegal tweed is better known than other Irish tweeds.

## History

Little is known about Irish apparel before the twelfth century. Historians believe that the early inhabitants of Ireland dressed in wool cloth, although some argue that garments made of animal skins were more prevalent. By the thirteenth century, the Irish were bundling themselves in mantles, which are coats made of wool cloth. Most mantles were composed of small scraps of cloth sewn together, although the wealthy were able to afford mantles made from a single but very large piece of cloth.

Cloaks called *brait* (singular: *brat*), on the other hand, would signify wealth if they were made from several different colors. In fact, sumptuary portion of the brehon law decreed that slaves could only wear cloaks with one color, while freemen could wear four and kings wore several different colors. Beneath these *brait*, they wore *léinte* (singular: *léine*), long woollen or linen tunics that extended to the ground but were gathered into pleats and belted so that they fell to the knees (the excess material was allowed to hang down at the waist and cover the belt, as can be seen in the Dutch painting illustration). The *léine* was very wide at the bottom and narrow on top. Likewise, the *léine*'s sleeves were narrow at the upper arms but widened greatly at the elbows. The sleeves were open to allow the lower arm to emerge, but hung down behind the elbow to the knee or sometimes as far as the ground in more ceremonial garb. *Léinte* were most often saffron-yellow (*léine croich*, 'saffron shirt'), but were also found in other solid colours (red, brown, green, black, etc.), or occasionally striped. The *léine* was worn throughout Gaelic culture, including in western Scotland, up until the late 16th century. In Ireland, traditional Gaelic dress, including the *léine*, was banned by the Dublin Castle administration.

Another garment, known as an *inar*, was a jacket, pleated at either beneath the breast, or at the waist, with split sleeves. Woodcarvings seem to indicate that *inar* were richly decorated, possibly through embroidery. In winter, a *cota mór* was added beneath the *brat*; this was a greatcoat made of thick wool, with a small standup collar and sleeves that unbuttoned below the elbow to allow the long sleeves of the *léine* to come through. Less is known of the early apparel of the Irish women and children. Like men, women's clothing was mostly derived from wool. It is likely that the earliest female inhabitants of Ireland also donned *léinte* which looked similar (if not identical) to those of their male counterparts. By the fifteenth century, women were wearing long dresses made from wool cloth, often decorated with ribbons and other accessories. These dresses were created and worn in direct imitation of those worn in England.

# Felix Douma

**Felix Johan Douma** (August 6, 1941 – January 23, 2008) was a Canadian scholar, writer, teacher, cellist, and translator who once served as Canada's Third Secretary and Vice-Consul to the Dominican Republic.

## Biography

Douma was born in Heerenveen, Friesland, Netherlands, to Sjoeke Tjerk (George) and Johanna (née Wijnja) Douma. After World War II, at the age of 12, Douma immigrated with his parents and two younger brothers, Alex and Ed, to Otterville, Ontario, Canada where he became a Canadian citizen. He attended South Norwich Public School, and later earned his high school diploma with honors as Valedictorian from Norwich District High School in nearby Norwich, Ontario.

After earning his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Western Ontario and his Master of Arts from the University of Toronto, Douma was hired as an officer with Canada's Department of External Affairs. He was posted to the Dominican Republic as Third Secretary and Vice-Consul from 1966 to 1968.

Douma earned the distinction of Canada Council doctoral fellow from 1968 to 1973.

Douma was frequent lecturer in English at Huron University College and the University of Western Ontario in 1973 and 1974.

In 1975, Douma began his teaching career at Big River Indian reserve (Cree), a primary school near Victoire Saskatchewan. This experience inspired Douma's first book, "MOONYASS", in which he describes what life was like in and around an Indian school during a year on the reserve. During this time, Douma earned a citation for bravery from the Canadian Red Cross Society in Regina, Saskatchewan for an incident in which he came to the aid of some children in peril at a nearby lake.

For most of the 1980s Douma taught English and French at Orchard Park Secondary School, Stoney Creek, Ontario, and Winona High School, Wentworth County, Ontario. During this time, he played third cello with the Mississauga Symphony Orchestra in Mississauga, Ontario.

In the mid-1990s Douma opened a cultural center for Port Rowan, which he affectionately named "The Hobby Palace". He would often host concerts, art exhibitions and other cultural pursuits. In addition, he ran a small publishing company named "Leeboard Press". The press published some of his own works, the final works of Robert Finch, and some postcards and other printed material.

Douma retired from teaching in 1990 after a twelve-year leg instructing English, and English as a Second Language at Valley Heights Secondary School in Norfolk County, Ontario.

In 1992, Douma wrote his second book "The Magic Fish". This book contains six stories for children, inspired by his time almost 20 years earlier at the Little Creek Indian reserve in northern Saskatchewan.

Douma continued to publish papers, articles and essays and was a frequent contributor to the "Port Rowan Good News" during his retirement.

On January 23, 2008, Douma died at his home in Port Rowan Ontario at 66 years of age.

## Education

Douma earned his first post secondary degree with a BA in English and Philosophy at the University of Western Ontario in 1960.

He attained a Master of Arts in Philosophy at the University of Toronto in 1964.

Douma returned to his birth country of the Netherlands, where he earned a Doctorandus in Letters, Comparative Literature and Translation Studies at the University of Amsterdam in 1972.

Douma returned to the University of Toronto for further qualifications for instructing English as a Second Language, French and Music. He earned the OSSTF Rating of IV, and a Bachelor of Education degree in 1979

# Matos Soares

Manuel de Matos e Silva Soares de Almeida, better known as Priest **Matos Soares** (?–1957), was a Portuguese Catholic priest, prefect and professor of the Seminary of Nossa Senhora da Conceição (Seminário Maior or da Sé), Rector of the Chapel of Fradelos and parish priest of the Paróquia Nossa Senhora da Conceição in the city and Diocese of Porto, having been the promoter of the new construction of the Church. He was responsible for translating several works, notably the Holy Bible into Portuguese.

## Bible translation

The main work of Fr. Matos Soares was the commented translation of the Holy Bible from the Vulgate into Portuguese, whose first edition was published in 1932, with the help of Fr. Luiz Gonzaga da Fonseca, Professor at the Biblical Institute of Rome, with the other editions having been published in the years 1934, 1940, 1946 and 1952. The 1956 edition was the first edition in which the author translated directly from the biblical manuscripts in Greek and Hebrew available in his day, resorting to the Vulgate when direct translation from manuscripts rendered the text obscure.

Editions of the Bible by Father Matos Soares received Imprimatur from Dom António Barbosa Leão, Bishop of Porto, and great appreciation from the Holy See, on the part of Pope Pius XI, whose message of esteem from Cardinal Pacelli, future Pope Pius XII, can be found soon at the beginning of the translator's editions.

## Modern reissues in Brazil

In 2019, Editora Ecclesiae published the re-edition of the New Testament by Father Matos Soares, adapting the author's translation from the Latin Vulgate to the New Vulgate. In 2022, Editora Ecclesiae published the re-edition of the complete Bible of Father Matos Soares according to the original languages (1956 edition). Also in the same year, Editora Realeza, together with Associação Obras Católicas, published the re-edition of the complete Bible of Padre Matos Soares from the Latin Vulgate (first edition of 1932), adding the illustrations made by Gustave Doré for La Grande Bible de Tours.

## Other works

Among the works of Fr. Manuel de Matos Soares, the following can be highlighted:

• O meu Evangelho – Devocionário, Evangelho e Actos dos Apóstolos; 1933.

• Biografia da serva de Deus Gema Galgani (Virgem de Luca: 1878–1903), traduzido pelo Pe. Matos Soares, 1923.

• Ano Cristão (Pe. Croiset, S. J.) Devocionário para todos os domingos, dias de Quaresma e festas móveis, obra revista pelo Pe. Matos.

• Obras de Virgílio anotadas por Ferreira da Silva e Matos Soares, 1918.

• Manual de Eloquência Sagrada, 1925.

title: Franklin Glacier

abstract: Franklin Glacier is a mountain glacier in the Waddington Range of the Pacific Ranges in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It lies at the head of the Franklin River adjacent to Mount Waddington, the highest mountain entirely within British Columbia. The name of the glacier was officially adopted in 1928 after having been submitted by mountaineer Don Munday in August 1927 for its association with the Franklin River. It is the namesake of the Franklin Glacier Complex, a heavily eroded geologic feature consisting of dikes, subvolcanic intrusions and overlying volcanic rocks. A base camp was established on the Franklin Glacier on June 23, 1934, by climbers Neal Carter, Alan Lambert, Alec Dalgleish and Eric Brooks as part of an attempted first ascent of Mount Waddington. Their ascent abruptly ended three days later when Dalgleish fell to his death from Waddington's southeast ridge.

# Frank Ryan (surgeon)

**Francis Harry Ryan** (May 21, 1960 – August 16, 2010) was an American plastic surgeon. He was known for performing multiple plastic surgery procedures on celebrities, including Heidi Montag, Gene Simmons, Shannon Tweed, Shauna Sand, Vince Neil, Adrianne Curry, Janice Dickinson and many others. He was also the founder of the non-profit foundation, The Bony Pony Ranch.

## Background

Ryan was born in Toledo, Ohio, the son of Mary Kate Ryan (née Manion), a registered nurse, and Frank Harry Ryan, a bookkeeper, who died when his son was three years old. Ryan attended St. Francis de Sales High School, graduating in 1978.

From 1978 to 1982 he attended the University of Michigan. From 1982 to 1986 he attended Ohio State University's College of Medicine. He was board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He went on to complete eight years of post-graduate surgical training at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the University of Missouri and UCLA Medical Center. Ryan also participated in numerous fellowships, the first of which was a burn reconstruction fellowship at Shriners Hospital for Children.

In 1986, Ryan moved to Los Angeles. In 1990, he completed a UCLA Division of Plastic Surgery Research Fellowship that focused exclusively on breast augmentation. While at the UCLA Medical Center, Ryan was chosen for and completed the UCLA Division of Plastic Surgery’s Aesthetic Fellowship.

In 1994, Ryan entered private practice in Beverly Hills. The following year, he performed one of the first plastic surgery "makeovers" on television, on TLC's *The Operation*. He founded **The Bony Pony Ranch**, a 26-acre (110,000 m2) site in Malibu which catered to inner city children and provided them an outdoor experience.

In 2009, Ryan performed breast implant surgery on Cassie Ventura, only to reverse the procedure the following day at Sean Combs’ demand. Some theorize that Ryan took his own life, citing the possibility of a malpractice suit in response to this incident.

## Death

On August 16, 2010, at about 4:30 p.m., Ryan drove his 1995 Jeep Wrangler off a cliff on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, California. The Jeep landed on rocks below and lifeguards initially tried to help him. Ryan was trapped in the vehicle and had major head injuries. His dog Jill was thrown out of the vehicle, but survived with some minor injuries, including damaged paws. The Ventura County Fire Department tried hoisting Ryan using a helicopter, but the attempt was called off when he was pronounced dead at the scene. Ryan had just posted a picture of his dog, and tweeted, "Border collie Jill surveying the view from atop the sand dune". On October 21, 2010 the California Highway Patrol determined that an unsafe turn was the official cause of the car crash that killed Ryan.

# Franki piling system

The **Franki piling system** (also called pressure-injected footing) is a method used to drive expanded base cast-in-situ concrete (Franki) piles. It was developed by Belgian Engineer Edgard Frankignoul in 1909.

This method can be applied to different site conditions and is still widely used due to its high tensile load capacity, and relatively low noise and ground vibration levels.

## History

Edgard Frankignoul applied for the production patent for the Franki pile in July 1909. He then co-founded the geotechnical company Frankipile (Société des Pieux Armés Frankignoul) with Liège aristocrat Edmond Baar with the goal of commercializing the Franki piling system. By 1929, the technique had been implemented by 34 international subsidiaries and license holders.

The Franki pile process has undergone several reformations since it was conceived. The dry concrete plug was not introduced to the design until 1926. Before this innovation, the casing had to be top-driven and equipped with a lost bottom plate. The Franki pile with vibrated shaft and hydraulic vibrating hammer were manufactured starting from 1960 and 1971 respectively.

## Applications

Franki piles can be used as high-capacity deep foundation elements without the necessity of excavation or dewatering. They are useful in conditions where a sufficient bearing soil can only be reached deeper in the ground, and are best suited to granular soil where bearing is primarily achieved from the densification of the soil around the base. They are not recommended for use in cohesive soils where compaction of the base is not possible. The Franki piling system is the quietest of the driven cast-in-place systems, and so is used in conditions where high noise levels could cause environmental problems.

## Installation of a Franki pile

1. A charge of zero-slump concrete is poured into the bottom of a steel driving pipe that is placed vertically on the ground. A diesel-operated drop hammer is then driven on the concrete, forming a watertight concrete plug.
2. The concrete plug is driven into the ground by the drop hammer. The pipe is also dragged into the ground due to friction developed between the steel and the concrete.
3. When the desired depth is reached, the pipe is held in position by leads—structures which guide and align the pile and hammer. The hammer is then applied to the concrete, driving it outwards through the bottom of the pile and forming a mushroom-shaped base.
4. At this point, a cylindrical rebar cage can be driven into the concrete if supplementary reinforcement is desired.
5. Additional charges of concrete are added and driven while the steel casing is simultaneously pulled up until the shaft of the pile is formed.

## Variations

* Small charges of concrete can be added while the base is being formed to enlarge the base and improve the pile’s settlement performance.
* Franki piles can be installed raked (or sloped) with a tilt of up to 4:1. Raked Franki piles are always reinforced and are particularly suitable for structures subject to dynamic forces.
* Driving methods such as open-ended coring, rock socketing, and composite shaft construction are occasionally used to overcome unique site problems.

# Thomas McCloy

**Thomas McCloy** (31 August 1927 – 13 January 2014) was born in Lambeg, County Antrim, Northern Ireland and was an Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman and leg spin bowler, he played 30 times for the Ireland cricket team between 1951 and 1965 including twelve first-class matches.

## Playing career

He played against the MCC at Lord's the following month, and played twice against India in June 1952 before making his first-class debut against Scotland on 5 July that year.

He played just once in the following six years, against Lancashire in May 1954, returning to a more regular place in the Irish side from July 1958 when he played against New Zealand. He played against the MCC in September of that year, and against Scotland, Lancashire, Yorkshire and the MCC in 1959.

The first year of the 1960s saw him play against Scotland, Leicestershire and the MCC, with just a match against Leicestershire in 1961. He played against the Combined Services, Scotland, Pakistan and the MCC in 1962, before his career began to wind down in 1963, when he played twice against the West Indies before matches against Leicestershire, Scotland and the MCC.

He played just once in 1964, against the MCC in September, before the final three matches of his international career in 1965 against the MCC, New Zealand and Scotland.

### Statistics

In all matches for Ireland, McCloy scored 836 runs at an average of 14.93. His top-score was 73 against the MCC in August 1959. He bowled just one over, conceding fifteen runs without taking a wicket against Scotland in June 1959. In first-class cricket, his top-score was 53 against the Combined Services.

# Thomas McClary (musician)

**Thomas McClary** (born October 6, 1949) is an American musician, guitarist, singer, songwriter, and record producer best known as the founder and lead guitarist of The Commodores. McClary is widely credited with having created the signature sound of The Commodores' original music.

## Early life

McClary was born in Eustis, Florida, in 1949. He became one of the first African-American students to integrate the Florida school system prior to the enforcement of Brown v. Board of Education. McClary began playing music at a very early age, starting with the ukulele and then adding the acoustic guitar and later the electric guitar to his repertoire. After graduation, McClary went to college at Tuskegee University in Alabama where he majored in business.

## Career

As a freshman student at Tuskegee University, McClary met Lionel Richie in the registration line. The two became friends and in 1968 they began to put together a band which they originally called The Mystics. McClary played the lead guitar. The group played local gigs, added members and changed their name to the Commodores. In 1972, the Commodores signed with Berry Gordy and Motown Records.

McClary spent 15 years as the lead guitarist for the Commodores. His guitar solo in the Commodores song "Easy" earned him his first write-up in *Rolling Stone* and was called "one of the best solo guitar performances of all time" by writer Dave Thompson. While with the Commodores, McClary wrote one of the group's early number one singles "Slippery When Wet". "Brick House"," "Too Hot ta Trot", and "I Feel Sanctified" are among the many songs McClary contributed to, along with the Commodores. He sang lead on "Sexy Lady" and "Ooo Woman You" (a duet with Melissa Manchester). He played on songs like "Flying High", "Come Inside", "High On Sunshine", "Girl, I Think the World About You", "Midnight Magic", "12:01 am", "Got To Be Together", "Wake Up Children", "Funny Feelings", "Heaven Knows", "Won't You Come Dance With Me", "Visions", "Hold On" and "Free", "Welcome Home" (with Bill Champlin), "You Don't Know That I Know", "Let's Get Started", "Time", "Captured", "Celebrate" (with Larry Davis and Harold Hudson), "Saturday Night" and "Keep On Taking Me Higher".

McClary's musical influence then moved outside of just The Commodores. From the *Endless Love* soundtrack, he co-wrote (with Lionel Richie) "Dreaming of You" which was performed by Richie and Diana Ross as well as Kenny Rogers' "Without You in My Life". Another was the track "Steam Room" off of Jayne Kennedy's *Complete Exercise Program*. McClary co-wrote and produced multiple songs for the 1980s pop group Klique's album *Try It Out* (one of which was "Stop Dogging Me Around" which became the No. 1 song on the Black Contemporary Charts") and "Love Circles". McClary also co-wrote and produced four songs for bassist Michael Henderson's *Fickel* album.

After deciding to leave the Commodores in 1984, McClary signed a solo contract with Motown and the following year released a solo album titled, *Thomas McClary*, which featured the single "Thin Walls". It peaked at No. 57 on the *Billboard* R&B chart.

In 1986, McClary returned to Florida and turned to his Christian roots by becoming the music director of his church and forming a gospel music record label, under which he released the 2008 album titled *A Revolution Not a Revival.*

On September 18, 2017, McClary's memoir *Rock and Soul*, was released.

# Matthew 8:16

**Matthew 8:16** is the 16th verse in the eighth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament which relates Jesus exorcising at sunset.

## Content

In the original Greek according to Westcott-Hort this verse is:

Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δαιμονιζομένους πολλούς· καὶ ἐξέβαλε τὰ πνεύματα λόγῳ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας ἐθεράπευσεν·

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:

When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

The New International Version translates the passage as:

When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

For a collection of other versions see BibleHub Matthew 8:16.

## Analysis

MacEvilly draws a comparison between St. Peter's house and the Church saying, "How many spiritual cures have been performed, even to the present day, in Peter's house, which is God's holy Church." He also believes that the late hour of the day is mentioned to convey that Jesus was never inconvenienced, but did good "whenever an opportunity presented itself."

## Commentary from the Church Fathers

Chrysostom: "Because the multitude of believers was now very great, they would not depart from Christ, though time pressed; but in the evening they bring unto Him the sick. When it was evening, they brought unto him many that had dœmons."

Augustine: "The words, Now when it was evening, show that the evening of the same day is meant. This would not have been implied, had it been only when it was evening."

Saint Remigius: "Christ the Son of God, the Author of human salvation, the fount and source of all goodness, furnished heavenly medicine, He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all that were sick. Dæmons and diseases He sent away with a word, that by these signs, and mighty works, He might show that He was come for the salvation of the human race."

# Frank LeMaster

**Frank Preston LeMaster** (March 12, 1952 – March 23, 2023) was an American professional football linebacker who played nine seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Philadelphia Eagles. A native of Lexington, Kentucky, he played four years of college football for the Kentucky Wildcats and was selected by the Eagles in the fourth round of the 1974 NFL draft. He was a key member of Philadelphia's defense for several years, and along with Bill Bergey and John Bunting, led one of the best 1970s linebacking corps in the league. He helped them reach Super Bowl XV in 1980 and was selected to his first and only Pro Bowl the following season. However, he missed 1983 due to injury and was traded to the San Francisco 49ers in 1984. He was unable to make the final roster of the 49ers and retired afterwards.

## Early life and education

LeMaster was born on March 12, 1952, in Lexington, Kentucky. He attended Bryan Station High School where he played fullback for the football team. Despite seeing major action only in his last two seasons, he compiled 40 touchdowns, 3,000 yards, and helped the team reach the Class AA state finals. After graduating, LeMaster played four seasons of college football for the Kentucky Wildcats from 1970 to 1973. He spent his freshman year at fullback before changing to halfback as a sophomore. He started the first two games of 1971 at halfback, but only was given the ball 10 times, averaging four yards-per-carry.

LeMaster's coach then shifted him to being a reserve, and after playing three games in that role, was changed to being a tight end; he spent some time in that position, recording one reception for eight yards, but was then asked to play linebacker. He was then asked to return to being a halfback, before finally becoming a linebacker; all of these moves occurred during his sophomore year, although during this entire period (with the exception of his two starts at halfback) he only played on special teams.

Through the first five games of the 1972 season, LeMaster, remaining an inside linebacker, was the leading tackler on the team. However, after a loss to North Carolina, he was benched, with the coaching staff blaming him for poor defense. He was asked to switch to outside linebacker, but refused, and spent the rest of the year on the bench. He was a starter as a senior, but no NFL teams showed interest in him during the season. However, he was named All-American at the end of the year. He was also invited through the efforts of Kentucky assistant Buckshot Underwood to several all-star games, including the Blue–Gray Football Classic, at which he served as a team captain. His performance there led to him receiving interest from NFL scouts.

## Professional career

LeMaster was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round (89th overall) of the 1974 NFL draft. He was also selected in the 1974 WFL Draft, but remained with Philadelphia. As a rookie, he started all four preseason games and ended up making the team as the second-string left linebacker, behind Steve Zabel. He appeared in every game that year and became the starter the following year after Zabel was traded; LeMaster went on to be one of the anchors of the Eagles defense for the next several years, and along with Bill Bergey and John Bunting, formed one of the best linebacking corps in the NFL in the 1970s. He played a total of nine seasons for the team and appeared in all 129 of their games in that period, starting the final 115. Along with Robert Brazile, he was the only player at his position to start every NFL game from 1975 to 1982. As of March 2023, LeMaster is fourth all-time in team history for starts by a linebacker, trailing only William Thomas (129), Chuck Bednarik (122), and Bunting (116). When he retired, he placed sixth all-time for most consecutive games with Philadelphia and he also led the team in tackles four out of the nine seasons he played with them.

In LeMaster's first four seasons, the Eagles won only 20 out of 56 games. The team hired coach Dick Vermeil, and they went from 4–10 in 1976, to 5–9 in 1977, before reaching the playoffs as a wildcard in 1978 and making the playoffs again in 1979; LeMaster was a vital figure in helping the team turn around. Vermeil described him as "an outstandingly conditioned player. He was very respected by the coaching staff and players. He was just that kind of guy who had his head screwed on straight. Frank wasn't vocal with his ideas. He set examples." In 1980, he helped the team win the NFC Championship and reach Super Bowl XV, where they lost to the Oakland Raiders. Nevertheless, he was an important figure in their defense, which was first in the league for points allowed and second in yards allowed. The following year, he again led an Eagles defense that had the league-best for lowest points allowed, which as of the 2022 season remains the last year the team has accomplished this. He also earned his first and only Pro Bowl selection. The Eagles only won three games in the strike-shortened 1982 season and LeMaster missed the entire 1983 season due to an injury in preseason. He was traded to the San Francisco 49ers in 1984, and despite being told he had made the team, ended up being the final roster cut. He retired in 1985.

LeMaster played 129 games and started 115 in his career. He posted 10 interceptions, which he returned for 190 yards and two touchdowns. He also posted 14.5 unofficial sacks, and was occasionally used throughout his career on offense, posting eight rush attempts for 108 yards as well as one reception for −4 yards. He scored a total of three touchdowns in his career, being only one of three Eagles linebackers to accomplish this feat.

## Later life and family

LeMaster worked for Enron Energy Services in the Philadelphia area, among other businesses. LeMaster joined FieldTurf in 2001 and was vice president of sales when he retired in 2020. He was active in local charitable organizations. He was inducted into the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007 and was selected to the Kentucky High School Hall of Fame in 2009, as well as the Chester County Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.

LeMaster and his wife Marylou had three children. He died on March 23, 2023, at age 71.

# Franklin D. Roosevelt station

**Franklin D. Roosevelt** (French pronunciation: \[fʁɑ̃klɛ̃ de ʁozvɛlt\]) is a station on Line 1 and Line 9 of the Paris Métro. With more than nine million passengers annually (2019), it is the nineteenth busiest station in the Paris Métro system.

## History

Originally, the stations on the two lines were separate. The Line 1 station opened as part of the first stage of the line between Porte de Vincennes and Porte Maillot on 19 July 1900 and was called Marbeuf. It was named after the Rue Marbeuf, which in turn was named after the Marquise de Marbeuf, who had developed the area in the 1770s and was guillotined during the Reign of Terror.

The Line 9 station opened when the line was extended from Trocadéro to Saint-Augustin on 27 May 1923 and was called Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées or just Rond-Point. On 6 October 1942 a connection between the two stations was opened and the new station was renamed Marbeuf–Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées (or more often Champs-Élysées–Marbeuf). This new station became Franklin D. Roosevelt station in 1946 when the nearby Avenue Victor-Emmanuel III was renamed Franklin D. Roosevelt Avenue, in honour of US President Franklin D. Roosevelt who had been an ally of France during World War II, as opposed to Victor Emmanuel III, the king of Italy who, although allied with France during the First World War, had fought against France as king of Fascist Italy during the Second World War.

The station was renovated after the Second World War and the work introduced a new artistic technique known as "gemmail", which is often called "block glass" or "glass brick" in English. Sometimes it is also called a "station musée" (station-museum). While one can find some of the glass brick along the platform for Line 9, more of it can be found in along the platform serving Line 1. The inauguration of the finished station involved a large ceremony on the night of 1 March 1957, with two ramps equipped with tables of food for the invited guests.

As part of the automation project on Line 1, its platforms were completely renovated in 2008.

### Platforms

The platforms of the two lines are of standard configuration: there are two per stopping point, they are separated by the tracks located in the centre and the vault is elliptical. On the other hand, they are distinguished by their cultural layout, which itself differs between the two lines.

In line 1, the walls are clad in illuminated gilded metal panels, while the vault, as well as the tunnel exits, are clad in bevelled champagne-coloured tiles and fitted with cylindrical ceiling lamps decorated with bubble motifs. The platforms are tiled in anthracite grey and fitted with landing doors partially painted black. The name of the station is written directly on the metal panels in five different languages. On each platform, three touch screens display maps of the network, a map of the neighbourhood and a route finder. Five additional screens present advertising campaigns as well as cultural programmes. They will screen four two-minute films, produced by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) as part of the International Year of Chemistry, and three films made by the artist Marko Echeverria as part of his work *Passenger Landscapes*. These amenities are complemented by black *Akiko* style seats.

On line 9, the metalwork is in the form of honey-coloured aluminium panelling comprising a set of brass-rimmed display cases. Many of them are now empty. Their partial closure reveals the old wall of the station still covered with its original bevelled white tiles, which also covers the vault while the tunnel exits are treated with metal wall facings. The name of the station appears in raised honey-coloured capital letters above the display windows. This layout is complemented by yellow *Motte* style seats and specific lighting canopies with metal slats in a shape close to a semicircle.

### Bus connections

The station is served by lines 28, 32 (in the direction of Gare de l'Est only), 42, 73, 80 and 93 of the RATP Bus Network and, at night, by lines N11 and N24 of the Noctilien bus network.
