#### Adelaide Garville

Between 1993 and 1996, Avellino played for Adelaide Garville in the Mobil Superleague. In 1993 and 1994, she helped Garville reach two grand finals. In 1993, a Garville team featuring Avellino, Jenny Borlase and Michelle den Dekker and coached by Patricia Mickan, defeated Sydney Electricity and finished as premiers. However, in 1994 Garville lost to their main rivals, Contax, in controversial circumstances. A closely fought match finished level at full time. However Garville claimed they had actually won the match 48–46. It was alleged that during the third quarter, the official scorer accidentally gave one of Garville's goals to Contax. Despite protests from Garville, extra time was played and resulted in a 61–58 win for Contax. Avellino scored 23 from 31 for Garville in the final.

Ahead of the 2003 season, Avellino was dropped from the Sandpipers squad due to an osteitis pubis injury.

#### Adelaide Thunderbirds

After being let go by Sydney Sandpipers, Avellino was signed by Adelaide Thunderbirds. However, the move proved controversial. Avellino subsequently missed most of the 2003 season after Netball Australia declared she could not play for Thunderbirds because she was not registered as a resident of South Australia in time. The case went all the way to the Supreme Court of South Australia which ruled in Avellino's favour. In 2005, Avellino had a second spell playing for Thunderbirds.

#### Southern Steel

In May 2011, Avellino and Janine Southby, were appointed co-head coaches of Southern Steel. However, after a poor 2012 ANZ Championship season, which saw Steel win just two matches and lose 11, Steel decided to end the co-coaching experiment. Ahead of the 2013 season, Southby was appointed head coach and Avellino was named as assistant coach. However, this new arrangement survived only four weeks into the new season.

title: Han Ningen

abstract: Han Ningen Han Ningen is a 1954 autobiographical novel in the Atomic bomb literature genre by Japanese writer Yōko Ōta. It follows a writer who, suffering from anxiety states due to her experiences as a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and the possibility of a future nuclear war, undergoes mental treatment.

# Han Ningen

***Han Ningen*** (Japanese: 半人間, lit. "Half human") is a 1954 autobiographical novel in the Atomic bomb literature genre by Japanese writer Yōko Ōta. It follows a writer who, suffering from anxiety states due to her experiences as a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and the possibility of a future nuclear war, undergoes mental treatment.

## Plot

At the height of the Korean War, writer Atsuko Oda, a survivor of the bombing of Hiroshima, suffers from anxiety states, fueled by her memories and the possible threat of a nuclear war. Her condition also manifests itself in insomnia, against which she injects herself repeated doses of antihistamines. Hospital physician Dr. Fukuda advises her to undergo a deep sleep therapy, so Atsuko moves into the hospital's mental ward. She reminisces her Hiroshima experiences, her campaigning against nuclear weapons, and her housemaid Takeno's offer to commit suicide together, which Atsuko rejects, as she does the option to leave her home country.

Atsuko enters a sixteen-day-long deep sleep period; upon awakening, she suffers from hallucinations while at the same time witnessing the sometimes inattentive or even abusive treatment of her fellow patients by the nurses. She learns from Dr. Fusuda that Takeno, who is a devoted follower of the Reiyūkai sect, attempted suicide and is being looked after by a friend of Atsuko. The story closes with Atsuko and a young nurse, whom she finds sympathetic, taking a night walk in the hospital's green area and watching the full September moon.

## Background

*Han Ningen* was based on the author's own experiences of her voluntary hospitalisation in a mental ward in 1952. It was first published in book form by Kodansha in 1954 and received the Peace Culture Award the same year. According to John Whittier Treat in his book *Writing Ground Zero*, the critical reception of *Han ningen* justified Ōta's reputation as "a bitter, disturbed, and perhaps even deranged woman whose writings on Hiroshima deserve to be discounted as equally bitter, disturbed, and deranged themselves." Although not published in English, a translation into German language appeared in 1984.

In addition to the bombing of Hiroshima and the Korean War, Ōta's story makes references to the suicide of writer Tamiki Hara, the "red purge" in Japan (dismissal of communists and suspected communists from government posts and teaching positions), and Ōta's encounter with a horribly disfigured young woman, a Hiroshima survivor like herself, which she also thematised in her 1953 short story *Fireflies* (*Hotaru*).

# Wellington United

**Wellington United AFC** is an association football club based in Wellington, New Zealand, that competes in Capital 3, the 5th tier of Wellington football.

## History

### Wellington Diamond United

Wellington Diamond United was the result of the merger of Diamond and Zealandia/Wellington United in 1968.

Diamond was founded as a junior football club in 1893 by members of the Star Rugby Club, who wished to play football. It became a senior team in 1895.

Zealandia was founded in 1954 by Dutch immigrants, changing its name to Wellington United in 1964.

In 1968 the club played in the Central Region's Division One, finishing fourth out ten. The club made it to the National League for the 1973 season but at the end of the following season they found themselves back in Division One.

Wellington Diamond United won the National League in 1976, 1981 and 1985.

### Hungaria and Wellington City

Hungaria was formed in 1962 by Hungarian immigrants. The club played in the Central Region league before being invited to join the first New Zealand National Soccer League in 1970. The team finished seventh out of eight that season, winning just three games. It was the club's only season in the National League as they forfeited their place to form a composite entry with Miramar Rangers, to be known as Wellington City, for the 1971 and 1972 seasons. Miramar withdrew after the 1971 season.

In 1973 the club went solo again, this time in Division Two of the Central League (finishing second) with Wellington City as an independent entity. The following season the club topped the table, winning promotion to Division One. The club remained there until the end of the 1977 season when they finished bottom of the ten-team division to be relegated back to Division Two. The club had two unsuccessful seasons in Division Two before merging with Wellington City permanently in 1979.

### Wellington United

Wellington Diamond United and Wellington City merged in 1986 to form Wellington City Diamond United, which soon shortened its name to Wellington United.

In January 2015 Wellington United announced a strategic partnership with Wellington Phoenix. The partnership has the Academy and Premiers ( ISPS Handa Premiership ) able to play through the winter in the Central League as Wellington United.

title: Weiherkopf

abstract: The Weiherkopf is a summit in the Hörner Group within the Allgäu Alps in Bavaria, Germany, with a height of 1,665 m.

text:
# Weiherkopf

The **Weiherkopf** is a summit in the Hörner Group within the Allgäu Alps in Bavaria, Germany, with a height of 1,665 m.

## Geography

The peak rises within the Nagelfluhkette Nature Park. To the north is Immenstadt, to the east Fischen im Allgäu. To the southeast lies Oberstdorf and to the west is Balderschwang. Near the summit are the neighbouring peaks of the Bolsterlanger Horn to the southwest and the Rangiswanger Horn to the north.

### Character

The Weiherkopf is a "relatively large summit, half covered in open meadow and half with woodland", which is known for its extensive views from the Grünten to the Großer Widderstein.

### History of the name

In 18th century maps the mountain is described as the *Veier*; but, from 1940, in the topographical map of Fischen as the *Weiher Kopf*. "A pond \[*Weiher*\] from which the name might have been derived can no longer be identified". Steiner believes it is, however, entirely plausible that the mountain might once have been called the *Weihenkopf*. "This name would have meant "peak where kites liked to live. e.g. the red kite". *Gabelweihe* is an old German name for the red kite; the modern name is *Roter Milan*.

## Tourism and access

### Cableways

The *Hörnerbahn* six-seater gondola lift has two sections and enables access to the Weiherkopf from Bolsterlang. The first section of the cableway runs to the middle station at 1,350 m, the departure point for various walks around the Weiherkopf. The second section runs from the middle station to the ridge of Horngrat, 1,540 m, between the Bolsterlanger Horn and the Weiherkopf.

In summer 2013 the Weiherkopf drag lift, which was over 40 years old, was replaced by the modern couple-able six-seater *Weiherkopfbahn*.

Der Weiherkopf is used both in summer and winter as the start point for paragliders.

### Summer

In the summer season it is possible to walk a 'panorama way' between the summits. The Weiherkopf is an intermediate objective on this route. The main path is called the Allgäu Hörner Tour (*Allgäuer Hörnertour*), which is also negotiable in winter, but is not then waymarked.

### Winter

In the winter season it is possible to ski from the summit on a FIS downhill, slalom and snowboard run.

The Weiherkopf is also a popular area for ski touring and snowshoe walkers.

# Wes Butters

**Wesley Paul Butters** (born 4 May 1979) is a radio broadcaster, formerly of BBC Radio 1, and writer.

## Early life

Butters attended Buile Hill High School in Pendleton, Salford, and studied at the University of Salford between 1995 and 1997, where he gained a National Diploma in Design & Media Communications, followed by a BA (Hons) Radio between 1997 and 1998.

## Radio career

On joining AA Roadwatch he shortened his name to Wes Butters. After a year presenting traffic and travel bulletins on local North West radio stations and periods on 96.5 Radio Wave (Blackpool), Wish FM (Wigan) and Century 105, he was offered the evening show on Century 106 in Nottingham. He left the station in 2000 to move to Newcastle as head of music and mid-morning presenter for Galaxy North East.

### Radio 1

In February 2003 Butters took over as host of *The Radio 1 Chart Show* on BBC Radio 1, and the programme was renamed *The Official Chart Show with Wes*. A change in the show's format led to greater coverage of top-selling albums and an end to the need for every entry in the Top 40 singles chart to be played.

He regularly stood in for Scott Mills – first on early breakfast, then on drive-time. He also deputised for Chris Moyles on the Radio 1 breakfast show on bank holidays and at Christmas.

Working closely with *Top of the Pops,* he interviewed hundreds of pop stars including Kylie Minogue, Destiny's Child, George Michael and The Black Eyed Peas.

In February 2005 Butters left Radio 1 and the chart show underwent further changes to its format.

Butters was regularly heard on the BBC World Service as well. He sat in for Steve Wright on *Wright Round the World* and was used as their voice for Live 8.

### After Radio 1

Soon after his final chart rundown on 30 January 2005 the press announced the launch of podshows.com, a joint venture by Butters and fellow broadcaster Daryl Denham. It was the world's first professional podcasting company, using presenters such as Tony Blackburn, Paul Gambaccini, Gary Davies and Terry Christian to record tailor-made programmes for MP3 players.

### Wes@Breakfast

In October 2005 Butters agreed a deal with Galaxy and returned to the airwaves at Galaxy Manchester, winning a Silver Sony award for Best Breakfast Show and an Arqiva nomination for Best UK Presenter in 2006.

In May 2007 he was voted North West England Presenter of the Year in the radio industry magazine *X-Trax*.

It was announced in June 2007 that Wes had "had enough of early starts" and that he wanted more time to focus on his other projects. Keen to keep him on the station he agreed with Galaxy to do a short afternoon show but in April 2008 he revealed that he would leave the group completely.

At the end of July 2008 Wes enjoyed another stint on breakfast, this time sitting in for Shaun Keaveny on BBC 6 Music.

### Radio 4 Extra

Manager Simon Jordan invited Wes to join BBC Radio 7 in May 2009 as one of the station's continuity announcers. He remained after its revamp to BBC Radio 4 Extra, where he continues to introduce a range of comedy and drama from the BBC's archive.

### BBC Radio Leeds

In October 2011, Butters was announced as BBC Radio Leeds' new mid-morning presenter. His programme, which contained phone ins, real-life stories, consumer issues and political interviews, became the highest rated on the station.

A forthright style when interviewing politicians led to national news coverage, as in the case of Labour MP George Mudie who admitted he would vote for an independent Scotland despite his party being part of the Better Together campaign.

Butters left in October 2014, referring in a statement to Kenny Everett who famously abandoned parties as they were just getting going.

### Bauer City Network

In 2016, Butters signed to host a weekly network show for Bauer City 1 broadcasting on Key 103, CFM, Free Radio, Hallam FM, Metro Radio, Radio Aire, Radio City, Rock FM, TFM and Viking FM. And in August 2017, he replaced Paddy McGuinness as host of Sunday mornings.

### Hits Radio Network

As of 2020, Butters hosts the drive time slot across the Hits Radio Network alongside Gemma Atkinson. He also presents Sunday Breakfast across the Hits Radio Network alongside Sheree Murphy.

## Television and writing

Butters has appeared on many TV programmes including *Never Mind the Buzzcocks*, *Top of the Pops*, *Liquid News*, *Celebrity Fame Academy*, *Record of the Year*, Jacques Peretti's *50 Years of Bad Sex*, *Carry On Forever* and BBC television news, in addition to a range of children's programmes. As a voice-over, he has been heard on *An Audience with Take That*, *An Audience with Lionel Richie* and *The Brit Awards*, as well as the *Top of the Pops* rundown and ads for Asda.

Butters has written for a number of newspapers (including *The Guardian*), while his debut book, a biography of *Carry On* actor Kenneth Williams, came out in October 2008. Published by HarperCollins, *Kenneth Williams Unseen* was selected by Roger Lewis as one of *The Daily Express* Books of the Year. He also wrote the two-part documentary *The Pain of Laughter – The Last Days of Kenneth Williams* for BBC Radio 4, broadcast in April 2008, which is available on his website.

On its release in May 2010, his second book, *Whatshisname, The Life and Death of Charles Hawtrey*, was the number one selling biography on Amazon.

## Personal life

* He has a daughter, to whom both of his books are dedicated.
* He has a fiancé who he proposed to in New York in 2019.
* He suffers from colitis and often speaks of the condition to help raise awareness and his "fellow sufferers".

# Glyn Gilbert

Major General **Glyn Charles Anglim Gilbert** CB MC (15 August 1920  26 September 2003) was a 20th-century British military officer who saw active service during the Second World War. In 1970 he became the highest ranking Bermudian military officer when he was promoted to the rank of major general in the British Army.

## Early life

Gilbert was born into a family with its roots in the 17th century settlement of Bermuda, where the family is based mostly in Paget and Warwick parishes. A *Thomas Gilbert* of Warwick gifted the land upon which Christ Church in Warwick, the oldest Presbyterian church outside of the British Isles, was built in 1719 (Glyn Charles Anglim Gilbert's parents, however, belonged to the St. Paul's Church (Church of England) in Paget). His father, Major Charles Gray Gosling Gilbert, OBE, MC, was the long-time head of the Colony's education department (1924–1956) (the school of Gilbert Institute, in Paget, opened on 26 May, 1933, is named for him). Charles Gilbert, a Bermuda Rhodes Scholar from 1913, had been studying at Brasenose College, Oxford, in England when the Great War began. He left the university and was commissioned into the Royal West Kent Regiment, before serving on the Western Front in the Machine Gun Corps. Other Bermudian students in Britain similarly left their studies to serve in the British Army, including another Bermudian Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, Lennock de Graaf Godet, killed in action while serving in the Royal Flying Corps. During the Second World War, Gilbert was also in charge of cable censorship in Bermuda.

Glyn Gilbert was born in England, where his father worked briefly after leaving the Army following the end of the Great War. Raised in Bermuda, he was sent to Eastbourne College in England. After leaving school the year before the start of the Second World War, and anticipating the coming conflict, Glyn Gilbert returned briefly to Bermuda before enrolling at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. The 1939 class of officer cadets was hurried through its training, and Gilbert was commissioned into the Lincolnshire Regiment. Two contingents from the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps had served with the Lincolnshire Regiment on the Western Front, during the Great War. Since the 1920s, the affiliation between the two units had been given official sanction, with the Lincolns taking a paternal relationship towards the BVRC, akin to that it had with its own Territorial battalions. The BVRC would send drafts to the Lincolns again, in 1940 and 1944.

## Service in Second World War

In 1944, Major Gilbert, as Officer Commanding "C" Company, 2nd Lincolns, was one of only two Bermudians to land on the beaches of Normandy. He later earned the immediate award of the Military Cross in the crossing of the Escaut Canal, part of a larger operation to cross the Rhine. He, and another company commander involved, was decorated with the medal by Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, personally. As Gilbert put it, 'later that day \[of the crossing\], the ribbon was pinned on while we were still in the field. The next day we were relieved by a contingent of Bermudians', which included his cousin, Lieutenant Ambrose Gosling. The Bermudians were part of a draft of Lincolns sent from England, under the command of Bermudian Major Anthony Frith "Toby" Smith, who was killed in action shortly thereafter. Glyn ended the War in Northern Germany, where 2 Lincolns had taken part in the capture of Bremen. He was one of four Bermudians who served in the Lincolns during the War and who attained the rank of major while serving in the regiment (the others were Anthony Frith Smith, John Brownlow-Tucker, and Patrick Purcell). Another volunteer from the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps, who transferred to the Lincolnshire Regiment in 1940, Lieutenant Bernard John Abbott, a school teacher who had originally been commissioned into the Bermuda Cadet Corps, would end the war as an honorary lieutenant-colonel.

## Post-war service

After the War, Gilbert was attached to the Third Battalion of the Parachute Regiment (3 Para), serving in Palestine. He moved through a number of subsequent postings, ultimately transferring permanently to the Parachute Regiment, of which in 1962 he was appointed Regimental Colonel. In that position, he was responsible for a number of significant changes, including the introduction of a battle training course for NCOs at Brecon, which was eventually made mandatory throughout the Infantry, and the creation of the Red Devils parachute display team. Following this command, he was promoted to brigadier general, in command of the Territorial Army's 44th Parachute Brigade. After attending the Imperial Defence College, Gilbert became commandant of the School of Infantry, Warminister, in 1967. While there, he entertained HM the Queen in his own home when she visited the school. He was promoted to major-general in 1970 and appointed General Officer Commanding 3rd Division before he retired from the Army in 1974. Gilbert was one of the umpires for the 1974 Sandhurst wargame on Operation Sea Lion.

Gilbert also played a pivotal role in the development of the Royal Bermuda Regiment, the Bermudian territorial unit formed in 1965 by amalgamating the BVRC (which had been renamed the *Bermuda Rifles*) with the Bermuda Militia Artillery. The original mandated strength of the Bermuda Regiment (which became a *Royal* regiment in 2015) was about 400, all ranks. Following discipline problems during an exercise in the West Indies, a report on the unit was commissioned from Major-General Gilbert, who also took into account the difficulties the regiment subsequently experienced in meeting its obligations when embodied during the civil unrest of 1977, when it had proven under-strength and had required regular army reinforcement. He made a number of recommendations, including the increase of the regiment's strength to a full battalion of about 750, with three rifle companies and a support company.

## Private life

In 1943, Gilbert married Heather Mary Jackson, and they had three sons, including Major Graham Gilbert, and one daughter.

In retirement, Gilbert continued to live at Heytesbury. A member of the Army and Navy Club, in *Who's Who* he stated his recreation as "following the sun". His wife died in 2000, and he himself died in 2003, at the age of 83.

title: Franz Joseph Untersee

abstract: Franz Joseph Untersee was a Swiss-American architect who designed many Roman Catholic churches throughout the eastern part of United States. Born and educated in Glarus, Switzerland, he was sent to Germany for technical training, and after receiving his degree in architecture from Stuttgart University, returned to his native country. He served for a time as assistant to the City Architect of Bern but left to broaden the scope of his education in other cities of the continent. In 1882, Untersee sailed for America and having established residence in Brookline, a suburb of Boston, opened an office where he continued active for forty years. He was elected to the Boston Society of Architects in 1896 and in 1901 became an Associate of the American Institute of Architects. Many of his early works were in Brookline including the old Public Bath House (1896), the Manual Training Center (1901) and Brookline Savings Bank. It was however in the field of church design that he was best known. Many Roman Catholic buildings of the then popular Romanesque type were built from his plans in New England and New York State. His last work completed just before his death was the Mission High School, Roxbury, Massachusetts.

# Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church (The Kingsway, Toronto)

**Our Lady of Sorrows** is a Roman Catholic church in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is located in the neighbourhood of The Kingsway in the former city of Etobicoke. The parish includes the central section of Etobicoke where two much earlier Catholic missions once served as the first Roman Catholic places of worship in Etobicoke.

## History

Mission Churches

As the Township of Etobicoke was first settled by British military families, there were few Catholics in the municipality. The area was technically in the early Catholic Parish of St Patrick's, Dixie (near Toronto's present day airport) although early Catholic residents of southern Etobicoke found the early parish of St Helen's in Toronto's western suburb of Brockton more convenient. The Diocese of Toronto established, at different times in the late 19th century, two mission churches of St Patrick's, Dixie, in Etobicoke: St Joseph's and St Rita's. Both these early missions were on Dundas Street West in the centre of Etobicoke, an area now within the boundaries of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish. In the early 20th century, southern Etobicoke began to rapidly urbanise and new municipalities were formed out of Etobicoke which left the rest of the township a rural municipality centred on the Islington postal village at Dundas and Bloor. The first permanent Catholic parishes were founded in the independent Lakeshore municipalities of Mimico (St Leo's) and New Toronto (St Teresa's).

Founding of the Parish

Central Etobicoke was planned for development as a more exclusive residential neighbourhood than those that had separated from the township to the south, by Robert Home Smith, which eventually led to the creation of the first parish to remain in Etobicoke; Our Lady of Sorrows, in 1940. Founded during the Second World War, the first years of the parish were very active with parishioners organising to aid wartime charities. The construction of Our Lady of Sorrows Elementary School, which opened in 1942 as Etobicoke's first permanent Catholic school was quickly followed just to the west by the first Catholic high schools in the Township: St Joseph's Islington in 1949 (girls school run by the Sisters of St. Joseph) and Michael Power in 1947 (boys school run by the teaching Basilian Order of priests, named after Toronto's first catholic Bishop). For many years the pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows, Msgr, later Bishop Francis Allen worked in the parish, even after his espicopal ordination, concentrating on the need to establish catholic schools in the rapidly developing township.

Recent Changes

In 1967, the independent 'Lakeshore Municipalities' to the south, rejoined Etobicoke to form the Borough of Etobicoke, leaving St Leo's church as the oldest catholic church in the township. Our Lady of Sorrows Parish originally included much of Etobicoke to the north which only slowly separated into new parishes as Etobicoke urbanised and redevelopment of Dundas Street cut the area off from Our Lady of Sorrows parish. However, the parish continues to serve Catholics in The Kingsway and Islington; the neighbourhoods at the historic commercial and administrative centre of Etobicoke. In 1958 the Etobicoke municipal offices moved to the developing area around the new highway 427, the amalgamated Michael Power/St. Joseph High School following the move west in 1993 while to the south, the former Kingsmill Public Secondary School was reopened by the catholic school board as Bishop Allen Academy. The parish celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1990 by publishing a history which makes clear the central role the parish has played in the history of all Catholic communities in Etobicoke. The 50th anniversary of Our Lady of Sorrows Elementary School followed shortly after although tinged by controversy as the old school was replaced by a modern building which was completed in 2003. Our Lady of Sorrows Parish remains a strong presence in the heart of Etobicoke and has developed a strong musical tradition.

abstract: Outreachy (previously the Free and Open Source Software Outreach Program for Women) is a program that organizes three-month paid internships with free and open-source software projects for people who are typically underrepresented in those projects. The program is organized by the Software Freedom Conservancy and was formerly organized by the GNOME Project and the GNOME Foundation. It is open to cisgender and transgender women, people of other gender identities that are minorities in open source, and people of any gender in the United States who have racial/ethnic identities underrepresented in the US technology industry. Participants can be of any background and any age older than 18. Internships can focus on programming, design, documentation, marketing, or other kinds of contributions. The program began in 2006 with a round of internships for women working on the GNOME desktop environment, and it resumed in 2010 with internships twice a year, adding projects from other organizations starting in 2012.

# Outreachy

**Outreachy** (previously the **Free and Open Source Software Outreach Program for Women**) is a program that organizes three-month paid internships with free and open-source software projects for people who are typically underrepresented in those projects. The program is organized by the Software Freedom Conservancy and was formerly organized by the GNOME Project and the GNOME Foundation.

It is open to cisgender and transgender women, people of other gender identities that are minorities in open source (including transgender men and genderqueer people), and people of any gender in the United States who have racial/ethnic identities underrepresented in the US technology industry (Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander). Participants can be of any background and any age older than 18. Internships can focus on programming, design, documentation, marketing, or other kinds of contributions.

The program began in 2006 with a round of internships for women working on the GNOME desktop environment (which primarily runs on Linux), and it resumed in 2010 with internships twice a year, adding projects from other organizations starting in 2012. As of 2014, these rounds of internships have had up to 16 participating organizations, including Mozilla and the Wikimedia Foundation. Funding comes from the GNOME Foundation, Google, organizations participating in the internships, and other software companies.

## Program details

The goal of Outreachy is to "create a positive feedback loop" that supports more women participating in free and open-source software, since contributors to free and open-source projects have mostly been men (see also Women in Libre software communities). The program is similar to Google Summer of Code, also an internship in free and open-source software, but unlike Google Summer of Code it is not limited to students or developers. It is intended to be compatible with student schedules, with mid-year internships corresponding with the summer break of students in the northern hemisphere, and late-year internships corresponding with the summer break of students in the southern hemisphere.

The program began with inviting women participants, and it grew to include "anyone who was assigned female at birth and anyone who identifies as a woman, genderqueer, genderfluid, or genderfree regardless of gender presentation or assigned sex at birth". The December 2014 round was also open to participants of the Ascend Project of any gender, a training program for people from other groups underrepresented in open source. Starting in September 2015, Outreachy became open to "residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander", as people underrepresented in the technology industry in the US.

As part of the application process, applicants have to make a contribution to the project they want to work with. Participants work remotely, so the internship includes a $500 travel budget to support interns meeting fellow contributors in person and develop stronger connections to the project. Participants also write a blog about their work, which one said "allowed me to meet many people interested in the same topic as myself and opened a completely different range of opportunities."

## Impact

The GNOME Project has noted several signs that the program has improved its recruitment and retention of women contributors. In April 2011, it said its 3.0 release "included more contributions by women than any previous release, an increase the project attributes \[to\] its new internship program." In November 2011, it said the program had also helped recruit seven women to its Google Summer of Code program that year, in comparison to one or zero women in previous years. At the project's annual conference, GUADEC, 17% of attendees (41) in 2012 were women, "compared to only 4% (6 women) among attendees affiliated with GNOME three years earlier at the Desktop Summit 2009." In June 2013, program co-organizer Marina Zhurakhinskaya said half of the 41 participants had continued to contribute to GNOME after their internships, including five becoming mentors for the program.

Wikimedia said that working with the Outreach Program for Women and Google Summer of Code caused the project to develop better resources for newcomers interested in contributing to Wikimedia in general, including documentation and lists of suitable projects for newcomers.

In 2013, Bruce Byfield said "Already, the program could claim to be the most successful FOSS program for women ever." In March 2014, the Free Software Foundation gave the program its annual Award for Projects of Social Benefit as part of the FSF Free Software Awards, saying that the program does "critical work", "addressing gender discrimination by empowering women to develop leadership and development skills in a society which runs on technology."

Explaining what has made the program effective, Zhurakhinskaya said "You just need to say that women are welcome in your project, because that in itself sends a signal. Also, you want specific people they can get in touch with to do their first patch and to ask questions."

In June 2015, an Outreachy coordinator and Linux kernel contributor, Sage Sharp, won a Red Hat Women in Open Source Award for "efforts in improving communications and inviting women into open source communities." In July 2015, program co-organizer Marina Zhurakhinskaya won an O'Reilly Open Source Award for her work on Outreachy.

## History

### Women's Summer Outreach Program

In 2006, Hanna Wallach and Chris Ball noticed there were no women among the 181 applicants to GNOME's internship program with Google Summer of Code, and they decided to run GNOME's Women's Summer Outreach Program (WSOP) to invite participation from women. They organized it in about a month and focused on student developers. They received 100 applications and selected six for internships, half sponsored by the GNOME Foundation and half by Google. The students reported positive experiences and continued to use free and open-source software after the internship, but many of them did not have their work integrated into the main codebase.

### GNOME Outreach Program for Women

In 2009, the GNOME community decided to revive the program as part of continuing efforts to encourage more women to contribute to GNOME, renaming it to the GNOME Outreach Program for Women. The GNOME Foundation board appointed Marina Zhurakhinskaya to organize it, including finding mentors for the program. The program's internship options expanded to include non-coding work such as documentation and localization, and it opened up to non-student applicants. To increase chances of success, the new application process included making an improvement to the project, and the internship shifted to encouraging several tasks incrementally incorporated into the main project, instead of one larger project like Google Summer of Code. After restructuring the program and finding interested projects and mentors within GNOME, they selected eight interns in November 2010.

Another eight interns, from five continents, began in May 2011. They included Priscilla Mahlangu, a South African woman translating GNOME desktop software into the Zulu language. Twelve interns started in November 2011, with sponsorship from Collabora, Google, Mozilla, Red Hat, and the GNOME Foundation.

For the May 2012 round, the Software Freedom Conservancy joined the program with an internship with the Twisted project, mentored by Jessica McKellar. Nine other interns worked on GNOME.

### Free and Open Source Software Outreach Program for Women

The January 2013 round of the program, renamed to the Free and Open Source Software Outreach Program for Women, expanded to provide 25 internships with 10 organizations (Deltacloud, Fedora, GNOME, JBoss, Mozilla, Open Technology Institute, OpenITP, OpenStack, Subversion, and Wikimedia), with GNOME Foundation Executive Director Karen Sandler joining Zhurakhinskaya in organizing the program.

The June 2013 internships included seven participants contributing to the Linux kernel, for example working on parallelizing the x86 boot process. Led by kernel contributor Sage Sharp, who found mentors and projects for the interns, they made significant contributions to the 3.11 kernel release. This round had 37 interns working with 16 organizations, and the next round starting in December 2013 had 30 interns working with 8 organizations.

In April 2014, the GNOME Foundation temporarily froze nonessential expenditures because of a budget shortfall linked to the Outreach Program for Women; it paid interns on a schedule that was sometimes before payments from sponsoring organizations arrived. This was related to the program growing quickly, and the Foundation said it would follow up with those organizations and take other steps to resolve the problem. GNOME Foundation board meeting notes from June 2015 indicate that the problem was resolved with all outstanding payments collected.

The May 2014 round had 40 participants and 16 organizations.

The December 2014 round was open to participants of the Ascend Project of any gender, a training program for people from groups underrepresented in open source.

### Outreachy

In February 2015, the program announced its rename to Outreachy, while management of the program transferred to the Software Freedom Conservancy with the GNOME Foundation participating as a partner.

Starting in September 2015, Outreachy became open to "residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander", as people underrepresented in the technology industry in the US.

In 2023, Outreachy welcomed over 1,000 interns into the open source community. This achievement was commemorated through a series of six local celebrations across various countries and three virtual events. Since the beginning of the program, Outreachy collaborated with 40 open source communities, 191 mentors, and 488 contributors in facilitating contributions to open source software and open science projects. The open source communities saw 3,349 contributions merged from 764 applicants. In the 2023 cohorts, 121 interns worked full-time on open source projects for three months each. This commitment was met with a distribution of $847,000 in internship stipends to people facing discrimination and systemic bias.

title: MicroLink

abstract: MicroLink was a Baltic IT company, founded by Rainer Nõlvak and Hanno Haamer in August 1991 in Tallinn, Estonia. Launched as a PC maker, it diversified into IT distribution, systems integration and providing of internet services and electronics manufacturing. The company established itself as the largest Baltic PC maker by the mid-1990s. In 1998, the company appointed Allan Martinson as its CEO and merged with the 2nd largest Estonian IT company Astrodata. A period of quick growth ensued, fuelled by 4 private equity rounds from Baltic Investment Fund, Baltic Republics Fund and other players. In 1999–2000, the company grew 5 times by completing 15 mergers and acquisitions, including mergers with the biggest and second-biggest of the Latvian IT companies Fortech and VAR, seven internet service providers across the Baltic region etc. While the corporate headquarters remained in Tallinn, Estonia, the group became essentially pan-Baltic, with the largest number of employees and revenues from Latvia. In 1999, the company also launched Delfi, which established itself as the leading news portal in all three Baltic countries. Initially, Delfi was set up as a 50:50 joint venture with BNS, the region's leading news agency, but eventually MicroLink bought out its counterpart. Through the merger with Fortech, MicroLink also inherited a majority stake in SAF Tehnika, a Latvian developer and producer of microwave radio links. At its peak, MicroLink employed near 1000 employees and had 60 million EUR in revenues. In 2003–2005, MicroLink sold off its investments. Delfi was sold for 5 m EUR to Norwegian company Findexa. SAF Tehnika became the first and only listed Baltic stock at Riga Stock Exchange in the IPO that valued the company at 52 m EUR. MicroLink Computers was sold to the management and MicroLink Electronics to Amphenol. Finally, MicroLink's core IT business was sold to three Baltic telecom companies. in a deal exceeding 20 m EUR. Soon after this sale, MicroLink's Lithuanian arm was sold by Lithuanian telecom TEO.LT to MTVP venture capital company and part of the Latvian operations – the leading local ERP software maker FMS – to the management. The last CEO of independent MicroLink was Jānis Bergs, who took the post over in 2004. In 2006, Microlink Latvia Ltd. was renamed Lattelecom Technology, but since 2019 its name is T2T. By 2011, both Latvian and Estonian telecoms had merged MicroLink with their core operations and MicroLink ceased to exist both as a brand and an independent corporate entity. The Lithuanian MicroLink was named Hostex and sold back to Teo LT in 2010. Microlink business interests included: system integration and infrastructure solutions, software development, ERP and business solutions, IT consulting and training, central systems and datacentre solutions and end-user PC services and support.

As a result, El Tirantes had his hair shaved off after the match.

## Production

### Background

In early 1992 Antonio Peña was working as a booker and storyline writer for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Mexico's largest and the world's oldest wrestling promotion, and was frustrated by CMLL's very conservative approach to *lucha libre*. He joined forced with a number of younger, very talented wrestlers who felt like CMLL was not giving them the recognition they deserved and decided to split from CMLL to create Asistencia Asesoría y Administración, later known simply as "AAA" or Triple A. After making a deal with the *Televisa* television network AAA held their first show in April 1992. The following year Peña and AAA held their first Triplemanía event, building it into an annual event that would become AAA's Super Bowl event, similar to the WWE's WrestleMania being the biggest show of the year. The 1999 Triplemanía was the seventh year in a row AAA held a Triplemanía show and the 14th overall show under the Triplemanía banner.

### Storylines

The Triplemanía VII show featured six professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels (referred to as *rudos* in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (*técnicos* in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

# Weimar, Texas

**Weimar** (/ˈwmər/ or, by many non-locals, /ˈwmər/) is a city in Colorado County, Texas, United States. The population was 2,076 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Texas-German belt region and was founded and named by German emigrants after the city of Weimar, Germany.

In 1873, the town was founded in anticipation that the Galveston, Harrisburg, & San Antonio Railroad was going to build through the site. It was originally named "Jackson" after D.W. Jackson, a native Georgian and landowner, but subsequently was called "Weimar" in tribute to the German city of Weimar.

Located on Interstate 10 and US 90 between San Antonio, Austin, and Houston, Weimar is a small community of predominantly Czech and German descendants.

## History

Weimar was founded in 1873 in anticipation that the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway was going to build through the site. The community was first called "Jackson", after D. W. Jackson, a native Georgian and area landowner who donated land for the railroad right-of-way and the townsite. The populace subsequently chose the name "Weimar"; an early record states that Thomas W. Pierce, who authorized Jackson to sell lots at the site, had visited Weimar, Germany, and was favorably impressed.

The Weimar post office was established in 1873. The town was incorporated in 1875. After beginning with a few hundred townspeople, Weimar had by its tenth birthday achieved a population over 1,000. As it grew, Weimar established itself as a center of trade for pecans, poultry, and dairy products. By 1877, the town was large enough to make its first city map. In 1888, Weimar witnessed the origin of the first town newspaper, *The Weimar Mercury*, which currently remains in publication.

A strong history of baseball exists in Weimar. Veterans Park (Strickland Field) was ahead of its time when it was built in 1948, and was the first lighted baseball field between San Antonio and Houston. Veterans Park remains a state-of-the-art baseball stadium, having hosted a Babe Ruth League World Series Tournament in 2005.

Weimar is where Norman J. Sirnic and Karen Sirnic were murdered by serial killer Angel Maturino Resendiz on May 2, 1999. Their parsonage was adjacent to the train tracks.

Throughout the 20th century, Weimar enjoyed a slow yet steady growth in population, increasing on average by 250 persons every ten years. Business establishments held their numbers steady at around 70. After a high population of 2,400 in 1976, the town declined slightly in the following decade. In 1980, the population was 2,128.
