# The Alnwick Playhouse

The **Alnwick Playhouse** is an arts centre, theatre and cinema in the town of Alnwick in Northumberland, England. It is also the headquarters of the NTC Touring Theatre Company.

The building itself consists of many different parts. There is the main stage (with green room behind it) and an auditorium that sits over 200 people. Underneath the auditorium is a bar area with seating. On the ground floor, there is a foyer, a box office, a workshop, the NTC Touring Company office and a small 'black box theatre' style performance/rehearsal space with some limited seating.

## History

The Playhouse was originally built in 1925 as a 700-seat cinema and occasional music hall. The Playhouse eventually closed in 1979. The NTC Touring Theatre Company bought the building and converted the ground floor. The upper floor was leased out to The Alnwick District Playhouse Trust who re-opened the newly refurbished Alnwick Playhouse in December, 1990. It has remained open since then.

text:
# 10 cm K 14

The **10 cm Kanone 14** (10 cm K 14) was a field gun used by Germany and Bulgaria in World War I.

## Design

The 10 cm Kanone 14 was designed by Krupp and was intended to replace the 10 cm K 04. It was essentially a heavily modified version of the gun it was intended to replace, but it was designed to be able engage targets on the ground and in the air. Its firing platform was intended to give it a fast 360° traverse. Its elevation was 15° greater than the 10 cm K 04, and due to recoil problems associated with firing at high angles, it was designed with a heavy and complicated variable recoil system. To improve its accuracy when employed in the anti-aircraft role, it was fitted with a double elevation sighting system.

## Production

It was placed into production on the outbreak of World War I and the first guns had been delivered by May 1915. It was used as a field gun by both Germany and Bulgaria. It could be transported in one load by a team of six horses, with the baseplate carried on the trails. Two batteries worth were modified to be broken down for use in mountainous terrain. Despite the modifications for its intended dual role as an anti-aircraft gun, it proved to be a complete failure in that respect.

# Everything's Alright Forever

***Everything's Alright Forever*** is the second album by English indie rock band the Boo Radleys, released in 1992. The title is taken from *The Dharma Bums* by Jack Kerouac.

## Background

The Boo Radleys released their debut studio album *Ichabod and I* in 1990. After recording a session for the BBC in July 1990, Rob Cieka replaced drummer Steve Hewitt. By November 1990, they had signed to Rough Trade Records, with whom they issued the *Kaleidoscope*, *Every Heaven* and *Boo Up!* EPs, which became minor hits on the UK Independent Albums Chart. After Rough Trade collapsed in 1991, the band signed to Creation Records.

## Release

Soon after joining Creation Records, the band issued the *Adrenalin* EP, ahead of the release of *Everything's Alright Forever*. "Does This Hurt?" was released as the first track of the *Boo! Forever* EP in June 1992. Through frequent live performances, including a US tour with Sugar, and attention from the press, the band's profile rose.

## Critical reception

| AllMusic |  |
| *Alternative Rock* | 6/10 |
| *Calgary Herald* | B+ |

*Newsday* called *Everything's Alright Forever* a "rewarding journey through light and dark, acoustic serenity brushing against pure white noise." The *Calgary Herald* determined that "buried beneath several coats of mind-gliding guitar are some of the catchiest pop songs this side of Teenage Fanclub."

*The Rough Guide to Rock* wrote that the album was "clear evidence that the band were developing" and that it contained "excellent pop tunes behind the array of effects pedals." Author Dave Thompson, in his book *Alternative Rock* (2000), wrote that the band "swirl, twirl, and at times outright buzz, it's all a bit of a Blur-y ride, but the pure pop-to-be still shines through."

## Reception

The game has a Metacritic rating of 85% based on 10 critic reviews.

SlideToPlay wrote " Penumbear is a phenomenal combination of platformer, puzzles and story. For those gamers looking for a seriously tough but fun time, you can’t do much better than this. " AppSpy said "Penumbear takes the simple idea of 'walking on light' and runs wild with it, turning a solid platformer in to an absolute gem thanks to its beautiful atmosphere, brain-scratching puzzles, and dastardly challenges for those who need to go the extra mile." TouchArcade commented "The world of Penumbear might not be one you'd want to explore on your own, dark as it is. Navigating a friendly little bear through, on the other hand? Well, that works quite well." Gamezebo wrote "Penumbear is a great example of how platforming controls can be done right on iOS - and it's a lovely little puzzler to boot."

AppSmile said "Featuring levels in the triple digits, creative puzzles, and a great light-darkness mechanic that dictates where you can and cannot go, Penumbear makes for a compelling offering." Pocket Gamer UK wrote "Cute but incredibly difficult, Penumbear oozes brooding malice and will cause a great deal of frustration - but the unique gameplay is tight and appealing enough to keep you enthralled." TouchGen said "Penumbear is a quality puzzle platformer with a lot of content, and unsettling presentation. It never feels casual, and finding all the hidden stuff means you have to be prepared to have Penumbear impaled on spikes quite a lot. Not a game for the kiddies, but rather a game for those into darker games such as Limbo, Nihilumbra or Oscura."

title: Lugert, Oklahoma

abstract: Lugert is an unincorporated community in Kiowa County, Oklahoma, United States. The town of Lugert was founded in 1901 on 80 acres (320,000 m⁲). In the town, there was a general store that housed the post office and sold dry goods, school supplies, groceries, harnesses, axes and much more. It was named for Frank Lugert, who had moved to the area in 1898. Lugert owned land where the town was sited and also owned the general store. At the peak of its prosperity the town had a bank, two hotels, two pool halls, two restaurants, a saloon and a lumberyard. On April 27, 1912, about 12:30 p.m. a tornado hit Lugert, which was then a town of 300 inhabitants. Three people died in the tornado and 41 of the 42 business buildings in the town were destroyed. In 1927, the city of Altus built a 458 ft (140 m) dam, 27 feet (8.2 m) high, across the North Fork of the Red River for a source of city water. Lake Altus-Lugert flooded the original town of Lugert.

# The Anacrusis

***The Anacrusis*** is a first-person shooter video game released in December 2023, following a period of early access that began in January 2022. Primarily a co-operative multiplayer game, a team of four must overcome hordes of alien invaders on board a space station to reach a specified goal. The game is the debut title by Stray Bombay, and the gameplay is similar to the *Left 4 Dead* series, on which studio co-founder Chet Faliszek had previously worked.

## Gameplay

*The Anacrusis* is a first-person shooter with a focus on co-operative gameplay in a similar style to the *Left 4 Dead* series. The game is set on board a retrofuturistic space station during an alien incursion. In the main campaign mode, a four-player team must fight their way through alien hordes to reach the objective. Among the horde are special aliens with unique abilities, such as the Flasher, who can blind players. Players can upgrade their characters during the campaign by finding Matter Compilers, which will award the player with a selection of randomly selected upgrades.

The game uses a dynamic difficulty system, and because it was built upon the AI Director philosophy from *Left 4 Dead*, it was named the AI Director 2.0. The Director 2.0 adjusts enemy placements to create moments of downtime in between moments of intensity, with aim to make every team feel like they're operating at the limits of their capability. The Director 2.0 has more inputs available to it compared to *Left 4 Dead*, and has more levers to vary the difficulty and intensity, such as adjusting Matter Compiler points to encourage risky detours.

Aside from the main campaign, there is a timed co-operative *Holdout* mode; and a player versus player *Versus* mode, which allows players to control the special aliens against the human survivors. When there are fewer than four-players, bots will act as a substitute. The game supports cross-platform play between Windows and Xbox platforms.

## Development

Stray Bombay was formed in 2019 by Chet Faliszek and Kim Voll with the intention to create co-operative video games. Faliszek had previously worked on the *Left 4 Dead* series as a writer and co-lead. *The Anacrusis* was announced two years later at the 2021 Summer Games Fest, and would become their debut title. The name refers to the musical term anacrusis, referencing the notes before the first downbeat in a piece of music; Falizsek explained that the player characters get caught in a skirmish against the alien threat "in the beats before \[it\] turns to soldiers, pilots, and space fighters". The game's setting was inspired by 60s and 70s science fiction, Faliszek enjoyed shows such as *Space: 1999*, *Logan's Run*, and *Battlestar Galactica* when he was growing up, and he describes the sci-fi of this era as "more about taking what we have in the real world but making it strange than the smaller/faster/better that happened once the integrated circuit captured the public's imagination."

The game was released in early access on January 13, 2022, with an initial three co-operative campaign episodes. Stray Bombay updated the game throughout the early access period, and valued the feedback they received through their public Discord channel. Mod support had been a priority for Stray Bombay, and an update in June 2022 included community made mods; full Steam Workshop integration came in November 2022. A new *Holdout* co-operative game mode was added in April 2022, and fourth campaign episode was released in beta form in October 2022. By January 2023, *Rock, Paper, Shotgun* noted the game had more varied weaponry, enemies that provided more feedback on being hit, and general improvements to the game's stability, though cautioned that "plenty of glitches could \[still\] use some attention". In June 2023, Stray Bombay released *Versus Mode* for the game, and was the last game mode to be released before the game's official launch in December 2023, which also saw the release of the fifth campaign episode.

Prior to the full release of the game, Faliszek reflected on the early access experience, and wrote that he would not use it for future releases. He said that for smaller multiplayer games like *The Anacrusis*, the concurrent player count was under-counted in the publicly visible Steam statistics, discouraging potential customers from buying a supposedly "dead game". He also believed making the game available through Game Pass had cannibalised their sales.

## Reception

Reviews during the early access period were mixed. Tyler Wilde, writing at *PC Gamer* found *The Anacrusis* less appealing than *Left 4 Dead*. He described the space station setting as "more like arena shooter levels than human habitats". He criticised the lack of feedback from the guns and the enemies, describing the weaponry feeling like "a UI element rather than an object", and that the enemies "can come across like holograms that don't truly inhabit the space or feel the impacts of sizzling plasma bolts". *IGN* had similar concerns about the gunplay, their reviewer Luke Winkie wrote, "there are only three basic weapons, and each of them feel nearly identical and lack the same kinetic, fleshy feedback you find in say, *Back 4 Blood*." Others were more positive, Andy Brown at the *NME* fondly recalled his experience holding out against a horde on *The Anacrusis'*s space disco level to its "catchy funk-rock soundtrack". The team at *Rock, Paper, Shotgun* found the perks interesting, noting how it could allow for a degree of specialisation in the characters, and saw promise in the replayability offered by the Director.

Reviews did not improve following the game's official launch. *IGN* revisited the game and awarded it 4/10, and the *Edge* review gave it 5/10. Both outlets enjoyed the retrofuturistic space station aesthetics, but it was not enough to overcome the derivative gameplay. *Edge* wrote that "the weapons and enemies are nigh indistinguishable from their *Left 4 Dead* counterparts" and that the special aliens were just "familiar monsters in futuristic cosplay". *IGN* reviewer Travis Northup agreed, concluding that "\[it\] borrows so much from *Left 4 Dead* that it forgets to do its own thing and refuses to benefit from 15 years of co-op shooter evolution".

# 112 Tryon Plaza

**112 Tryon Plaza** is a 280 feet (85 m) 22-story high-rise in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was the second tallest building in North Carolina when completed in 1927, and the tallest building in Charlotte for about 35 more years. It is currently the 21st tallest building in the city. Located on "The Square" at the corner of Trade St. and Tryon St. adjacent to a pocket park, this building has a premiere location in Uptown Charlotte, also known as Charlotte center city. In 2006 it was sold for $12 million to the Simpson Organization.

## History

In 1925, First National Bank president Henry McAden hired prominent Charlotte architect Louis H. Asbury, who had designed a home for him in 1916 in Myers Park. Engineering firm Lockwood, Greene & Company worked with Asbury.

The $1.8 million building opened September 9, 1927. Soon, the Charlotte branch of the Federal Reserve located on the nineteenth floor. First National Bank did not make enough of an effort to secure tenants, and the building was only 30 percent occupied in late 1930. This helped lead to the bank's failure on December 4 of that year.

By 1934, new owners had doubled the building's occupancy, and the Federal Reserve branch took over the lower floors. In 1942, the building's name changed to The Liberty Life Building. The Federal Reserve had moved to its own building by this time.

In 1964, the name changed again, to The Baugh Building. A modern facade was added. By 1976, the Bank of North Carolina Building, as it was being called, was half empty.

In 1982 SYNCO Inc. spent $11 million on renovations, including the entrances, and adding a 20-story addition in back, with Odell Associates the architectural firm.

On December 17, 2007, the Charlotte City Council designated the First National Bank Building as a historic landmark.

In 2007, the building was converted to an office condominium and renamed to simply Tryon Plaza. Numerous improvements were made to the building by the developer including a complete facade renovation; a restoration of the original bank board room which features wood paneled walls, a ceiling with ornate plaster carvings, and a stained glass window; the addition of a multi-room conference center with a catering kitchen; the addition of a full gym facility with locker rooms, steam rooms, and a spa services room; and the addition of storage units on the lower level. Valet parking and a full service concierge have been added to complete the full service offering of this boutique office condominium.

It was built in 1965 as the Northwestern Bank Building and was later called the BB&T Building. In 2019, it reopened as the Art Deco style Kimpton Hotel Arras on floors 1 to 9, and Arras Private Residences condominium complex on floors 10-19 after a major renovation. The building is 228 feet tall.

## History

### Office tower

Groundbreaking took place in February 1964, with hundreds of people witnessing the start of one of the city's few major projects since the Great Depression. The Northwestern Bank Building opened October 23, 1965 as the state's tallest building west of Charlotte. A newspaper account referred to the "anodized aluminum curtain wall" and called it "unique and aesthetically pleasing", and the building was considered a "construction milestone." Built like many skyscrapers of the time, the Northwestern Bank Building resembled the Seagram Building in New York City and IBM Plaza in Chicago, both designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. A 2017 *Asheville Citizen-Times* article said "the opening of such a modern, imposing edifice was a source of pride for many in Asheville." On the other hand, an entire block had to be torn down, including the eight-story Langren Hotel built in 1912 and five other buildings. Glenn Wilcox Sr.'s Wilcox Travel and World Tours was an original tenant and remained in the building for 51 years. The City Club occupied the 16th floor.

When First Union Corp. took over Northwestern Financial Corp. in 1985, Northwestern had to sell some of its branches. Branch Banking & Trust Co. (BB&T) bought the Asheville branch and branches in Maggie Valley, Fletcher and Old Fort. By this time, according to a 2012 report on the city's architectural inventory, the building was considered "a substantial eyesore" and it was eventually referred to as "Big Brown & Tall". With significant problems such as leaks and heating system failure, it was considered "a symbol of Asheville's declining fortunes." BB&T located its regional office in the tower in September 1988 and the building's name changed to the BB&T Building. Asheville Building Associates filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and in November 1988 Wilcox and two partners bought the building for $6.8 million. Occupancy was at 70 percent as the former owners had done little to keep the building in good shape. The new owners formed Tower Associates and made renovations inside, but the exterior would have cost too much to update. Many considered the modern building to be out of place in Asheville, especially since it was so large. Still, occupancy increased to over 90 percent.

### Hotel

On April 28, 2015, McKibbon Hotel Group chairman John McKibbon announced plans for an "upper-upscale" hotel called Vandre Hotel using six floors, with the building being renamed Nouveau Tower when the project was complete in 2017. The hotel would be McKibbon's fifth in Asheville. As of 2016, the renovation plan included a complete change in the exterior using steel, glass and synthetic stone, and elements of Art Deco that would help the building match other buildings downtown. The former office building would have 140 hotel rooms and 39 condominiums, also adding 35,300 square feet of parking. Glenn Wilcox and John McKibbon were partners in the project. The Asheville City Council approved the necessary rezoning January 12, 2016.

In September 2016, John McKibbon announced plans for a 128-room boutique hotel to be called The Arras, with two restaurants and 54 condominiums. The Kimpton Hotel Arras opened in November 2019, owned by Atlanta-based McKibbon Places, started earlier in the year, and managed by Tampa-based McKibbon Hospitality.

# 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama

***10 Questions For The Dalai Lama*** is a 2006 documentary film in which filmmaker Rick Ray meets with Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama at his monastery in Dharamsala, India. The film maker asks him ten questions during the course of the interview which is inter-cut with a biography of Tenzin Gyatso, a history of modern Tibet and a chronicle of Ray's journey securing the interview.

## Synopsis

The film begins as a chronicle of Rick Ray's journey through India to interview Tenzin Gyatso. The film switches between present and recent past, with stages of the trip introducing sections on the personal history of Tenzin Gyatso, the process used to select a Dalai Lama and Gyatso's journey into exile.

The interview with Tenzin Gyatso begins midway through the film. This section is inter-cut between sections addressing philosophical questions and current affairs. Ray asks a range of questions, touching on philosophical, social and political issues. Some of the questions asked:

* "Why do the poor seem happier than the rich?"
* "How can one reconcile an attitude of non-violence when faced with a direct threat to one's safety and security?"
* "Should countries be dedicated to preserving their traditions or embrace modern culture?"
* "Will there be another Dalai Lama?"

The questions are not numbered in the film and Ray admits to asking more than ten questions during the interview.

The film also features the daily life of Tenzin Gyatso, his international peace efforts and his work with Tibetan refugees. The film features interviews with a Buddhist monk who fled violence in Tibet and Tenzin Tethong, who has served in the Tibetan Government in Exile for 20 years. Towards the end, the film touches on the issues of internet censorship in China, changes in Tibetan culture, and the 11th Panchen Lama controversy.

## Production

Three years were spent tracking down rare, archival footage of the young Tenzin Gyatso, early interactions between the People's Republic of China and his government, and his eventual exile. In the end, the licensing of some of the footage for the film cost more than all the other expenses combined.

# Ex Norwegian

**Ex Norwegian** is an American indie rock band from Miami Beach, Florida, formed in 2008.

## Origin

Ex Norwegian originated in Miami Beach in the summer of 2008 and officially launched at that year's CMJ Festival in New York City after the success of their debut single "Something Unreal". The band was created out of Roger Houdaille's Father Bloopy project, which bassist Carolina Souto was also involved in. The two recruited drummer Arturo Garcia midway through sessions for the debut album. The band immediately stuck a rapport with each other and the South Florida music scene, landing several features in key local media, including the cover of *City Link*.

# Percival Leigh

**Percival Leigh** (3 November 1813 – 24 October 1889), was an English satirist and comic writer, known as one of the founding contributors to the magazine *Punch*, where he was deputy to the editor, Mark Lemon. He collaborated with cartoonists including John Leech and Richard Doyle and was the last survivor of the original *Punch* contributors.

## Life and career

Leigh was born in Haddington, Scotland, and trained for the medical profession at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London. There he became a close friend of the illustrator John Leech. They both passed their professional examinations and qualified as doctors in 1835, but found comic literature more to their liking. They collaborated in 1840 on three books: *The Comic Latin Grammar*, *The Comic English Grammar*, and *The Fiddle-Faddle Fashion Book*. A fourth book, *Portraits of Children of the Mobility*, appeared in 1841. Its popularity caused Leigh and Leech to be recruited to *Punch* when it was set up later in that year.

Leigh was named deputy editor under Mark Lemon, but when the latter died in 1870 Leigh failed to succeed him, being beaten to the post by Shirley Brooks. When Brooks died in 1874 after four years as editor, Leigh was expected to be appointed, but Tom Taylor was preferred.

Leigh's best-known work appeared in book form in 1849: *Ye manners and customs of ye Englyshe: drawn from ye quick by Richard Doyle, to which be added some extracts from Mr. Pips his Diary*. Doyle's cartoons had appeared weekly in *Punch* and for the book Leigh added commentary in the style of Pepys's Diary. A biographical sketch of Leigh published in 1892 comments that the book "owes much to Doyle's illustrations; but Leigh's application of ancient phraseology to affairs of an essentially modern character, such as a shareholders' meeting, made a decided hit. It is a clever, sarcastic chronicle of prevailing fashions and opinions".

Leigh retired to Oak Cottage, Hammersmith, where he died on 24 October 1889. He was the last survivor of the early writers in *Punch*. His wife, Letitia Morrison, predeceased him.
