# The Greasy Chip Butty Song

"**The Greasy Chip Butty Song**" is a football chant sung by the supporters of Sheffield United football club to the tune of "Annie's Song", glorifying life in Sheffield, in chief the chip butty but also nightlife, beer and tobacco products. The song, with its good-natured humour, has been adopted and adapted by fans of a number of other association football teams.

## Origin

The song was initially written in the late 1970’s by a Rotherham United fan named Terry Moran. While the song became known as the "Greasy Chip Butty Song", Moran's inspiration came from Magnet, with the mention of chip butties being an afterthought. Gavin Hancock, a Rotherham Blade, overheard Moran singing the song in a pub and wrote his own version about the Blades; Hancock's version quickly grew in popularity among Sheffield United supporters from the early 1980’s and is now considered the club's anthem.

## Words and music

The song is to the tune of "Annie's Song" by John Denver to lyrics that have varied over time with changes to the opening and final two lines.

> You light up my senses,
> Like a gallon of Magnet,
> Like a packet of Woodbines,
> Like a good pinch of snuff,
> Like a night out in Sheffield,
> Like a greasy chip butty,
> Oh Sheffield United,
> Come thrill me again
>
> A version from 1997

> You fill up my senses
> Like a gallon of Magnet
> Like a packet of Woodbines
> Like a good pinch of snuff
> Like a night out in Sheffield
> Like a greasy chip butty
> Like Sheffield United
> Come fill me again
>
> A version from 2020

In 2010, the *Sheffield Star* printed a version of the lyrics with "You fill up my senses... come thrill me again". In 2020, local musician Max Restaino recorded a version of the song in aid of the Sheffield Hospitals Charity. This recording also used "You fill up my senses... come thrill me again" lyrics.

### Meaning

To a native of Yorkshire the words are probably self-explanatory; the words celebrate the many pleasures that can be had in Sheffield, culminating in the target of the fan's adoration, in this instance, Sheffield United.

* *Magnet* refers to Magnet Bitter from John Smith's Brewery, widely available in Yorkshire.
* *Woodbines* refers nostalgically to a once-popular brand of strong cigarette.
* *Snuff* is ground tobacco for sniffing up the nose. Wilson's Snuff Mill, established in 1737, is located a mile away from Bramall Lane.
* A *greasy chip butty* can be purchased in any of the many local fish and chip shops. *Butty* is a dialect word for a sandwich, and a *chip butty* is simply a sandwich where the filling is chips, ideally greasy and sometimes sprinkled with salt and vinegar. Generally, a white sandwich bap will be used for the bread. In Sheffield, these are simply known as *breadcakes*.

The song itself is a plaintive rally-cry by the fans of Sheffield United. It is usually heard at the start of home games played at 'Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane' (as it is often called by the announcer on match days), the home of the club, and sporadically throughout away matches.

### Other versions

Moran's original version is similar save for the mentions of Sheffield (replaced respectively with "Masborough" and "Rotherham United") and the last line, which Moran changed to "Can’t fill me enough".

> Tha fills up mi senses
> Like a gallon o' Magnet
> Like a packet o' Woodbines
> Like a good pinch o' snuff
> Like a night out in Masborough
> Like a greasy chip butty
> Like Rotherham United
> Can't fill me enough
>
> Moran's version

Modified versions of the song are also sung by supporters of Burton Albion (where the references to Magnet and Woodbines are replaced with Marston's Pedigree ("Peddi") and Walkers), Grimsby Town (where Magnet is replaced by Tetley's) and St Helens R.F.C. (where the beer is Greenalls and a kebab replaces cigarettes).

> You light up my senses,
> Like a gallon of Greenall's,
> Like a kebab from Geno's,
> Like a good sniff of glue,
> Like a night out at Martine's,
> Like a split fish and curry,
> Oh St Helens rugby,
> Come thrill me again!
>
> St Helens RFC version

Greenall's is the local beer, Geno's a popular kebab shop in town and Martine's was a nightclub which has since closed. A "Split" is a local slang name for chips and peas ordered from a chippy in St Helens, as in the songs case it is also served with fish and curry. The reference to glue-sniffing is black humour based on the reputation the town gained as industry was closed down under the Thatcher government leaving less opportunities for young people and leading to St Helens being viewed as a dying town. This experience was not unique in the industrial north at the time and the reference in the song should be taken as an example of the sharp wit of Sintelliners rather than a reflection of the town itself.

## International version

In January 2007, in tribute to Sheffield United's visiting Chinese sister team, the Chengdu Blades, the *Sheffield Star* penned the following version – the Greasy Egg Noodle song.

> You fill up my senses,
> Like a gallon of soy sauce,
> Like a packet of chopsticks,
> Like a good crispy duck,
> Like a night out in Chengdu,
> Like a greasy egg noodle,
> Like Chengdu 'n' United,
> Come thrill me again...
>
> Chengdu version

title: Photon underproduction crisis

abstract: The photon underproduction crisis is a cosmological discussion concerning the purported deficit between observed photons and predicted photons. The deficit, or underproduction crisis, is a theoretical problem, arising from comparing observations of ultraviolet light emitted from known populations of galaxies and quasars to theoretical predictions of the amount of ultraviolet light require to simulate the observed distribution of the hydrogen gas in the local universe in a cosmological simulation. The distribution of hydrogen gas was inferred using Lyman-alpha forest observations from Hubble Space Telescope's Cosmic Origins Spectrograph. The amount of light from galaxies and quasars can be estimated from its effect on the distribution of hydrogen and helium in the regions between galaxies. Highly energetic ultraviolet photons can convert electrically neutral hydrogen gas into ionized gas. A team led by Juna Kollmeier reported an unexpected deficit of roughly 400% between ionizing light from known sources and the actual observations of intergalactic hydrogen. Kollmeier and her team wrote in their scientific report, “We examine the statistics of the low-redshift Lyman-alpha forest from smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations in light of recent improvements in the estimated evolution of the cosmic ultraviolet background (UVB) and recent observations from the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS). We find that the value of the metagalactic photoionization rate required by our simulations to match the observed properties of the low-redshift Lyman-alpha forest is a factor of 5 larger than the value predicted by state of the art models for the evolution of this quantity.” Cosmological simulations start at very high cosmological redshift z and are evolved to z=0. According to Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, who is one of the report's coauthors, “The simulations fit the data beautifully in the early universe, and they fit the local data beautifully if we're allowed to assume that this extra light is really there. It's possible the simulations do not reflect reality, which by itself would be a surprise, because intergalactic hydrogen is the component of the Universe that we think we understand the best.” Kollmeier and her team state that "... either conventional sources of ionizing photons must contribute considerably more than current observational estimates or our theoretical understanding of the low-redshift universe is in need of substantial revision.” A similar study, led by Michael Shull, found that the deficit is only twice as large and not five times larger, as previously claimed. A potential resolution to the photon underproduction crisis is presented by a series of recent papers. Khaire & Srianand showed that a metagalactic photoionization rate that is two to five times larger can be easily obtained using updated quasar and galaxy observations. Recent observations of quasars indicate that the quasar contribution to ultraviolet photons is twice that of previous estimates. The revised galaxy contribution is also three times higher. Furthermore, the Kollmeier GADGET-2 simulations did not include heating from active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback. Including AGN feedback was shown to be an important element for heating in the low redshift intergalactic medium (IGM). This implies that the low redshift COS data can be used to calibrate AGN feedback models in cosmological simulations.

title: Vallcebre

abstract: Vallcebre is a municipality in the comarca of Berguedà, Catalonia. It comprises two towns: Vallcebre proper, and the village of Sant Julià de Fréixens.

# Vallcebre

**Vallcebre** is a municipality in the comarca of Berguedà, Catalonia. It comprises two towns: *Vallcebre* proper, and the village of *Sant Julià de Fréixens*.

## History

The town was first documented in the year 893, when it was mentioned as *Balcebre* in a document describing the consecration of the Cathedral of la Seu d'Urgell. By 983, a castle existed in the town, of which there is no trace today.

The municipality in former times was controlled in part by the Abbot of Bagà and the barons of Peguera. By the 15th century, it had become part of the possessions of the Foix family.

## Culture

The parochial church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the patroness of the town, and is of relatively recent origin, having only been constructed in 1931. By 1991, it had become a ruin, and was therefore rebuilt in 2000. In the urban center of the town, however, the tiny romanesque church of *Sant Julià de Fréixens* is located. Consisting of a single, barrel-vaulted nave, it has been restored numerous times, leaving little of the original structure.

## Economy

The municipality's economy is focused largely on the service sectors. Generally rural, agriculture in the municipality is concerned primarily with cereals and potatoes.

# The Grays

**The Grays** were a professional independent baseball team. They were a traveling team which played in the Canadian-American Association of Professional Baseball, an independent league not affiliated with Major League Baseball. The team started play in the 2005 season due to an uneven number of teams in the Can-Am League after the disbanding of the Bangor Lumberjacks, and were disbanded after the season. The Grays rejoined the league along with the Atlantic City Surf for 2007 to maintain an even number of teams, but were disbanded again following the year. A third incarnation, called the **Garden State Grays**, played during the 2015 season, to maintain schedule balance after a touring team of players from Japan's Shikoku Island League Plus finished their early season tour of the league.

The team played both home and away games but, since they were a traveling team with no home base, their "home" games were played in the opposing team's stadium with the Grays batting last.

## History

The Grays came into existence in April 2005, when the Can-Am League terminated the membership of the Bangor Lumberjacks, who had said they did not have the resources to operate for the season. The team's roster at the time became the roster for the Grays (unlike the year before when the Aces, who replaced the Allentown Ambassadors, were not able to keep their team intact), and Chris Carminucci was hired as their manager.

Playing in a 96-game split season, the Grays were competitive in the first half, finishing with an even 23–23 record and placing 7 games behind the front running Quebec Capitales. However, the bottom fell out in the second half, and the Grays finished with a 10–36 second-half record, 19 games out of first place.

The Grays were disbanded in the 2005–2006 offseason, with part of its roster being absorbed by the expansion Sussex Skyhawks. The Grays were one of two teams to fold that offseason (the Elmira Pioneers was the other; Sussex and the Atlantic League's Nashua Pride joined the league in their places).

Along with the Atlantic City Surf, the Grays were part of the Can-Am League's expansion in 2007. The team failed once again to make the playoffs, and after the season the team joined the New Haven County Cutters and North Shore Spirit in suspending operations and made their players available in a dispersal draft. The Grays did not return in 2009 despite further contraction of the Can-Am League which left an uneven number of teams in the league.

The **1938 National Division** was the second edition of the Turkish National Division. Güneş SK won their first title.

## Overview

Fenerbahçe got into a conflict with the Turkish Football Federation, as they initially wanted to play the home games in their own homeground, but the federation declined the request. Fenerbahçe claimed that their travel expenses were not paid appropriately by the TFF and withdrew after the 4th match.

# Poggio Mirteto

**Poggio Mirteto** is a *comune* (municipality) is situated in the Tiber Valley area of the region of Latium, Italy. Administratively Poggio Mirteto is in the province of Rieti (formerly part of the province of Perugia) and geographically this municipality is about 45 kilometres (28 mi) northeast of Rome and about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southwest of Rieti.

According to Giuseppe Marocco's 1833 book the name Poggio Mirteto means the "knoll with plenty of Myrtus plants" because in its territory there would be plenty of Myrtus plants (called *mirto* in Italian, which is where the adjective *mirteto* comes from) and the old town was built on a knoll which in Italian is translated with the toponym Poggio.

Poggio Mirteto's cathedral, formerly seat of its own bishops, became the episcopal see of the Bishop of the Suburbicarian Diocese of Sabina-Poggio Mirteto.

## History

A Roman villa called "Bagni di Lucilla" is nearby in the suburb of San Valentino. A famous mosaic discovered there can be seen in the Vatican Museums in Rome.

Poggio Mirteto was founded in the early 13th century in an area around some earlier small castles: previously in this area there had been some old Roman villas. Later the town became part of Papal States.

On 6 and 7 July 1849 Giuseppe Garibaldi, during his retreat from Rome with about 4,000 troops and his wife Anita, stopped in Poggio Mirteto: in Poggio Mirteto's main square there is a commemorative plaque in the building where Anita, who was pregnant, stayed during these days.

In the end of the year 1860, similarly to other Papal States territories, Poggio Mirteto joined the Kingdom of Sardinia during the fast events which arranged the making of the Kingdom of Italy that happened in the next year. The then Special Commissioner for the Province of Umbria of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Gioacchino Napoleone Pepoli, created by decree the Province of Umbria on 15 December 1860, merging the previous Districts of Perugia, Spoleto, Orvieto, Foligno, Terni and the one of Rieti; therefore Poggio Mirteto, which was in the Rieti District, was included in this new Province.

Since 27 January 1927, Poggio Mirteto has been part of the Province of Rieti which was established in the same year by Decree.

During World War II, Poggio Mirteto has been theatre of some episodes of the fight against the German occupation by the Partisans, on Monte Tancia, the Monte Tancia massacre took place, during the Nazi-fascist roundup. Afterwards, the Nazi bombings against civilian populations, in the square of Poggio Mirteto, during the Nazi retreat.

Olive plantation is the most typical product of the Poggio Mirteto's agriculture and its extra virgin olive oil has the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) like all the extra virgin olive oil produced in Sabina.

The municipality of Poggio Mirteto, other than the city center, comprises the following hamlets (subdivisions, mainly villages), in Italian "frazioni":

* Poggio Mirteto Scalo,
* San Valentino,
* San Luigi,
* La Misericordia,
* Castel San Pietro.

## Main sights

Piazza Martiri della Libertà is a square which represents the city center of Poggio Mirteto where there are the City Hall and the Poggio Cathedral. This very large square, which is enclosed by buildings for the biggest part of its perimeter, was developed as an expansion of the old medieval city during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: the square is linked to the medieval part of the city through a monumental gateway, Porta Farnese: this gateway is named by the House of Farnese because its construction was proposed by the Cardinal Alessandro Farnese during the sixteen century when he was Abbot of Farfa. Opposite to Porta Farnese, at the other end of the square, there is the church of San Rocco (Saint Roch) which is up a staircase. In the centre of the square there is a garden with the war memorial.

In the municipality territory there are the following churches:

* Cathedral
* San Giovanni
* San Rocco
* Sacra Famiglia
* San Paolo
* Madonna della Misericordia
* Santa Maria della Pietà

An old chimney made of bricks, now near the city center, is the most notable remainder of the former glassmaker Fajella which was built in the nineteenth century. In the municipality territory ancient ruins of Roman villas are numerous such as the villa called "Bagni di Lucilla" and a villa which traditionally is claimed to have been of Terentius Varro. In the countryside there are also remnants of small Roman aqueducts.

In the hamlet of Castel San Pietro there is an old castle.

According to the archeologist Antonio Nibby in 1801 in Poggio Mirteto was discovered a mosaic with Diana which now is in the Vatican Museum: this mosaic is described in a book of the archeologist Bartolomeo Nogara.

# MY Bob Barker

The **MY *Bob Barker*** was a ship owned and operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, named after American television game show host and animal rights activist Bob Barker, whose donation of $5 million to the society facilitated the purchase of the ship. She began operating for the group in late 2009 / early 2010 in its campaign against whaling by Japanese fisheries. In October 2010, Sea Shepherd stated that *Bob Barker* had completed a major refit in Hobart, Tasmania. Hobart became the ship's honorary home port in 2014.

## History

### Overview

*Bob Barker* is described as a "long-range fast ice" vessel measuring 488 GT It was built in Norway in 1950 as the whale catcher *Pol XIV*, but was deleted from the Norwegian ship registry in 2004, and sold to a Cook Islands registry concern. It was eventually purchased by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and refitted in Africa.

On 19 February 2010, Japanese officials said that *Bob Barker*'s Togo registry had been withdrawn. On 24 May 2010, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society stated that *Bob Barker* was now registered under the Dutch flag.

### Sea Shepherd operations

After her African refit, *Bob Barker* departed Mauritius on 18 December 2009 to join up with the MY *Steve Irwin* and MY *Ady Gil*, the two other Sea Shepherd vessels. One of its first actions was to take video footage of the collision between *Ady Gil* and a Japanese security vessel, after which she took aboard the crew from the stricken Sea Shepherd craft.

On 6 February 2010, while obstructing the slip-way of *Nisshin Maru* factory ship, *Bob Barker* collided with *Yūshin Maru No. 3*, resulting in a 3-foot-4-inch (1.02 m) gash in *Bob Barker*'s hull above the waterline. The Institute of Cetacean Research reported minor damage to a handrail and to the hull of its ship. Both Sea Shepherd and the ICR accused the other of intentionally causing the crash.

On 25 February 2010, Sea Shepherd reported that *Bob Barker*, which had been following the whaling fleet after *Steve Irwin* broke off pursuit to return to port, was suffering from a fuel valve problem and would be returning to port, ending the organization's operations for the 2009–2010 whaling season.

On 9 February 2011, Sea Shepherd reported that *Bob Barker*, which had been searching for the whaling fleet alongside the Sea Shepherd vessel *Gojira* (Now MV *Brigitte Bardot*) began blocking *Nisshin Maru*'s slipway. On 18 February 2011, after being aggressively tailed by *Bob Barker* for over 3,000 nmi (5,556 km), *Nisshin Maru* changed course and headed towards Japan, cutting short the 2010–11 whaling season.

On 5 March 2012, Sea Shepherd reported that after a lengthy search *Bob Barker* found the whaling fleet's factory ship, *Nisshin Maru*. Three days later, on 8 March 2012, the whalers left the Southern Ocean for the 2011–12 season.

On 20 February 2013, the Japanese whaling ship *Nisshin Maru* rammed *Bob Barker*, MY *Sam Simon*, *Steve Irwin* and *Sun Laurel* multiple times in a confrontation in the Southern Ocean, north of Australia's Casey Research Station in Antarctica. *Bob Barker* was hit on the stern, with *Nisshin Maru*'s bow knocking down several of *Bob Barker*'s antennas. *Bob Barker* issued a mayday after losing power.

Following repair from damage, January to March 2014 saw the MY *Bob Barker*s embark on *Operation Relentless* \- its last Southern Ocean mission, with a total of 99 days at sea. In February the MY *Bob Barker* was involved in a collision, this time with the *Yushin Maru No. 3*, resulting in the MY *Bob Barker* suffering a cracked hull and broken ribs - though damage did not affect ship operations. Damage was significant enough to be visible to the crew from within the ship.

On March 31, 2014, Japan was sued by Australia before the International Court of Justice because of its international responsibility for the *Institute of Cetacean Research* and parent company *Kyoto Senpaku,* forcing both companies to suspend operations.

However advances in the radar technologies of whaling fleets made it increasingly difficult for the MY *Bob Barker* to find and pursue whaling fleets.

From 2016 until its retirement in 2022, the MY *Bob Barker* operated a range of campaigns in West Africa in partnership with several African countries. These campaigns are meant to bring an end to illegal fishing in West African waters.

On 12 November 2022, the MY *Bob Barker* was retired from the Sea Shepherd fleet and sent to Turkey for recycling.

# The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery

The **Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery** is a part of Skidmore College and located in Saratoga Springs, New York.

## Building

The Tang, opened in 2000, was designed by architect Antoine Predock. Predock's design includes two major gallery wings (the Wachenheim Gallery and the Malloy Wing), two smaller galleries (the State Farm Mezzanine and the Winter Gallery), digitally equipped classrooms, and several event spaces. The Tang is nationally known for both its architecture and holdings, and its excellence has been recognized by *The New York Times*, *Art in America*, and *Architectural Digest*, among other publications.

## Permanent collection

The Tang has a collection of over 5,000 works, including pieces by Rembrandt van Rijn, Albrecht Dürer, Francisco de Goya, William Hogarth, Roy Lichtenstein, Wilhelmina Weber Furlong, Andy Warhol, Garry Winogrand, W. Eugene Smith, Eugène Atget, Dorothy Dehner, David Smith, Nayland Blake, and Nan Goldin. The museum also maintains extensive collections of art from Africa, South Asia, China, and the Americas.

## Notable exhibitions

The Tang has a program of contemporary scholarly exhibitions. Artists who have shown at the Tang include Kara Walker, Kiki Smith, Kate Ericson and Mel Ziegler, Trisha Brown, and Richard Pettibone.

## Student involvement

As was the desire of the founding director Charles Stainback, the Tang is committed to being an educational center above all else. Skidmore classes regularly meet in the galleries and classrooms, and groups from other schools visit to view exhibits and participate in activities. Tours, demonstrations, and other events are generally open to the general public. In addition to visual arts exhibitions, the Tang often hosts plays, musical performances, and dance recitals. As a "teaching museum", the Tang offers students the opportunity to have hands-on experiences with the museum's collection by curating an exhibition.

## Publications

In addition to a periodic newsletter for members and supporters, the Tang publishes its own *Opener* series of small hardcover catalogs for many of its temporary exhibitions. The Tang also co-publishes exhibition catalogs with other museums and galleries. A selection of its publications is available for browsing in a small reading area at the museum.
