Midland Mall

Midland Mall is an enclosed shopping mall serving Midland, Michigan, United States. Opened in 1991, the mall features Target as its lone anchor store. It is managed by Kohan Retail.

History
Richard E. Jacobs group built the Midland Mall, which was originally anchored by J. C. Penney, Elder-Beerman, Target, and Sears.

Barnes & Noble opened in the JCPenney wing in 2003. A Steve & Barry's store was added in the same wing and closed in 2008. The space became Dunham's Sports in 2011.

Although Midland Mall is the smallest of the three malls in the Tri-Cities (which also comprises Bay City and Saginaw), it also had the lowest vacancy rate of the three. The mall filled several vacancies in 2007 by adding Journeys, a Vanity clothing store and two eateries.  All of these tenants have since closed. The Elder-Beerman store was renamed Younkers in 2012. Shoe Show opened a Shoe Dept. Encore store next to Younkers in mid-2015. Sears closed in July 2016. On March 17, 2017, it was announced that JCPenney would also be closing as part of a plan to close 138 stores nationwide. The store closed on July 31, 2017. On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Younkers' parent company The Bon-Ton would be going out of business. The store closed on August 31, 2018, leaving Target as the only anchor left.

Despite the fact that chain stores continue to leave the mall, businesses are still opening at Midland Mall. Fantastic Finds, a resale store, will open in the former Younkers space. In addition, Planet Fitness will move their existing Midland location to the former JCPenney.

Dorota Tlałka-Mogore

Dorota Tlałka-Mogore (born 27 April 1963 in Zakopane) is a Polish and later French former alpine skier who competed in the 1984 Winter Olympics and 1988 Winter Olympics. She is the twin sister of fellow alpine skier Małgorzata Tlałka-Mogore.

The twins were born into a winter sports family: their father, Jan, was a 16-time Polish speed skating champion, whilst their mother Wlada was a cross-country skier. They both skied and skated during their childhood before they focused on skiing from the age of 12. Dorota took a fourth place in the slalom at the 1982 Alpine Skiing World Championships. In 1985 the twins decided to leave Poland as they were unhappy with the training opportunities in the country. They originally intended to study and train in France and continue to compete for Poland, however in October 1985 Dorota and Małgorzata married French brothers Christian and Christophe Mogone (the former a sports journalist, the latter a former racing cyclist) and the pair became French citizens in June 1986.

PKP class EP02

EP02 is a name for a Polish electric locomotive. It was made for passenger transport purposes.

Technical features
Few improvements were brought in with this locomotive type. The front and back of the box had dragging and bumping devices installed. The whole body was given a more aerodynamic shape compared to previous models.
This machine is of Bo′Bo′ type, meaning that each axle is powered separately. The axles are installed in pairs on two bogies. The bogies had lighter, welded construction which gave the whole vehicle better contact with the rails.

The engines used in EP02 were not modern ones, and had a large weight compared with power and small rotation. The engine contained two engineer's compartments on each end, with all the devices necessary for running the locomotive inside. The engine and high voltage compartments were situated in the middle part of the body.

History
After World War II almost no electric locomotives survived in Poland, and local industry was not yet able to start the production of such vehicles. The solution for this problem was sought mainly abroad and resulted in a decision to buy some components from England. The design for EP02 by Central Rail Industry Construction Office in Poznań was ready in 1951.

Introduction
In 1951 the design was sent to Pafawag, but the construction met with a few obstacles, mainly lack of material and parts.
The first locos were directed into Warsaw-Ochota railway district in 1953. Soon many construction faults appeared, like wheel spinning  after reaching  speed, inconstant drive and vertical shakes. The faults were systematically corrected, and the experience was used during designing the ET21 and EU06.

Production

Operation
All the EP02s initially operated in Warsaw, but soon were moved to Łódź. Once there were enough EU07s, all EP02s were moved to Dębica. In 1971 the last three machines were retired and reassigned to work as heating power supplies (used solely to supply electric power from overhead to heat cars during longer stops at stations, it involved parking them at selected stations and removal of most of the electric, brake and control equipment, retaining only the pantographs and switches associated with the HEP supply). This prolonged EP02s’ life by 24 years—EP02-07 was working as a heating power supply in Zakopane until 1992 and EP02-08 in Przemyśl until 1996.

During the operation, the locomotives were modified by the addition of automatic brakes and heating systems.

Grace Leven Prize for Poetry

The Grace Leven Prize for Poetry is an annual poetry award in Australia, given in the name of Grace Leven who died in 1922. It was established by William Baylebridge who "made a provision for an annual poetry prize in memory of 'my benefactress Grace Leven' and for the publication of his own work". Grace was his mother's half-sister.

The award is made to "the best volume of poetry published in the preceding twelve months by a writer either Australian-born, or naturalised in Australia and resident in Australia for not less than ten years".

Albert Küchler

Albert Küchler (2 May 1803 – 16 February 1886) was a Danish painter associated with the Danish Golden Age. He mainly painted genre works and portraits. He was highly esteemed by his contemporaries but is little known today.

Early life and education
Küchler was born in Copenhagen to cabinet maker Christian Küchler (ca. 1772–1845) and his wife Mette Cathrine Andreasdatter Terkelsen (ca. 1762–1849). His father disapproved of his ambitions to become an artist but ultimately accepted and Albert attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1816. Like the rest of his generation of Danish painters, he studied under Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (1783-1853). The German Nazarene movement and its artistic programme were also important to Küchler. He won the great Gold Medal at the Academy in 1829.

Time in Rome with the Danish artists colony
With the Gold Medal came a travel scholarship and in 1830 Küchler travelled to Rome where he settled and became a popular member of the city's thriving community of Danish artists. He is seen in several of the most well-known paintings of the period, including A gathering of Danish artists in Rome (1837) by  Constantin Hansen (1804– 1880) and Danish artists in a Roman osteria (1837) by Ditlev Blunck (1798–1853). Küchler mainly painted the colourful everyday life of the locals.

He was a particularly close friend of the poet Christian Winther (1796–1876) for whom he painted The Albanian Girl (1831), also known as The Italian Girl, a painting of Winther's local girlfriend . He also painted a portrait of Hans Christian Andersen during Andersen's first visit to Rome from 1833 to 1834.

Conversion to Catholicism
Küchler converted to Roman Catholicism in 1844. His friends were critical and surprised at his new religious attitude. In 1851, he took his religious beliefs even further when he became a Franciscan friar and spent three years in Silesia before settling in the St. Bonaventure Monastery on Rome's Palatine Hill.

Religious paintings
The Pope gave him special permission to continue his artistic work in the monastery and gave him several assignments. From that time on, he made exclusively religious works, including altarpieces and copies of older paintings.

In Denmark, his religious works can be seen in churches at Ballerup and Esbønderup in northern Zealand and Toreby Church on Lolland.
It has been observed that Küchler's early works, from the time prior to his conversion, are also rich in religious references. An example is Correggio's Death from 1834. The immediate inspiration for the painting was the tragedy Correggio (1809) by playwright Adam Oehlenschläger (1779–1850) but in Küchler's interpretation it becomes loaded with religious significance. The composition suggests that Küchler was influenced by Renaissance pictures but the style and technique is representative of the Golden Age.

In Küchler's picture, the scene from the tragedy is transformed into a version of the Passion of Christ through the use of Roman Catholic iconography; the names of the figures are in accordance with this tradition. The analysis leads to the interpretation that Kuchler's intention was to create a work of art loaded with religious significance and not just a scene from the tragedy. The painting A Roman Couple Buy a Hat for Their Little Son who is to Become an Abbate (1840) has also been interpreted in a religious fashion.

Relationship to Denmark
In 1877 he was awarded membership of the Royal Academy in Copenhagen and even a pension from Denmark. On several occasions, Küchler received visitors from Denmark while he lived at the monastery. These included members of the Royal family, fellow painters and writers.

In media and culture
 Küchler appears as a character in several novels as well as in a number of poems from the Danish Golden Age.
 The contemporary Chinese artist Liu Ye has made a portrait of Hans Christian Andersen which was based on Küchler's Andersen portrait from 1834.
 In 2004-06 Küchler's painting of Christian Winther's girlfriend was the object of debate in Albanian newspapers, magazines and electronic media on her ethnicity. Some believed she was in fact Albanian, possibly from one of the Albanian villages in southern Italy, others that she is from the Alban Hills of Lazio.

World Association for Public Opinion Research

The World Association for Public Opinion Research (WAPOR) is an international professional association of researchers in the fields of communication and survey research. It is a member organization of the International Social Science Council.

History
Established in 1947 at the Second International Conference on Public Opinion Research held in Williamstown, Massachusetts
as the World Congress on Public Opinion Research, the association acquired its current name in 1948, at the Third International Conference on Public Opinion Research.
In 1953, it became the sole nongovernment consultant organization to UNESCO in the field of polling.

Its current president is Claire Durand (University of Montreal) and the vice president is Marita Carballo (Voices Research and Consultancy, in Argentina).
Among the former presidents of WAPOR are Juan Linz, Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann, Robert Worcester and Seymour Martin Lipset.

Membership
Over time, WAPOR's membership has grown and become more international. In 1956, roughly a decade after its founding, the association had 158 members from about 20 countries; by 1962, these figures had risen to approximately 200 and more than 30, respectively.
In 1970, WAPOR had more than 300 members from 41 countries.

As of 2016, the association has over 400 members from research institutes and universities in over 60 countries on six continents.

Activities
WAPOR sponsors the International Journal of Public Opinion Research, a social science journal published by Oxford University Press.

Annual conference are held in a three-year cycle: with American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) in North America (2016), in connection with either European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR) or ESRA in Europe (2017), and in the third year in a new location (2018). This arrangement permits WAPOR members to meet with academic, commercial, and government researchers from the main centers of survey research around the globe. Our most recent annual conference was held Austin, Texas, USA during the dates of May 10-12, 2016.  AAPOR and ESOMAR are considered "allied associations."

Since 1981, WAPOR offers the Helen Dinerman Award – created to honour sociologist Helen Dinerman – to individuals who have made "significant contributions to survey research methodology".
Prior recipients include social scientists Philip Converse, Louis Guttman,
Roger Jowell,
Elihu Katz,
Juan Linz, Seymour Martin Lipset,
Robert K. Merton,
Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann,
Sidney Verba,
Robert Worcester, and Daniel Yankelovich.

Influence
Richard Morin, former polling director of The Washington Post, described WAPOR as "the leading professional association of pollsters working outside the United States".
Herbert Weisberg, a political scientist at The Ohio State University and former president of the Midwest Political Science Association,
further credited WAPOR with contributing to the internationalization, and thereby the professionalization, of the field of survey research.

Lumen Pierce

Lumen Ann Pierce is a fictional character portrayed by Julia Stiles in the Showtime television series Dexter, season 5. Lumen is introduced in the third episode ("Practically Perfect") as a survivor of rapist-serial killer Boyd Fowler. She remains for the rest of the season, and leaves following the season 5 finale, "The Big One".

In season 5, episode 5, "First Blood", Lumen is revealed to have been beaten and gang raped by a group of men, including Boyd Fowler. She witnesses Dexter Morgan kill Fowler, and thus becomes a key player in Dexter's life. Dexter rescues her, but initially thinks he has no choice but to kill her in order to eliminate a witness. He eventually decides to spare her life, however. To earn Lumen's trust, Dexter shows her the fate of Boyd's dead victims, tells her he saved her from the same fate, and confides his wife was murdered by someone like Boyd.

Lumen asks Dexter to help her seek revenge against her abusers, but he initially refuses. However, after Lumen continues on her own and targets the wrong suspect, Dexter teaches her the importance of knowing a person is guilty before killing him. He entreats her to leave Miami; she agrees at first, but decides to stay after a pat-down at the airport brings back memories of her abuse. She goes out on her own and shoots one of her attackers, but panics not knowing what to do with his body; she calls Dexter, who reluctantly helps her cover up the murder. That night, she tells him that killing the man brought her a sense of peace that she knows will not last; she believes she will have to kill all of her attackers to get over her abuse for good. Dexter realizes that she harbors a "Dark Passenger" much like his and agrees to help, in part to find his own closure following Rita's murder. The two then systematically hunt down and kill Lumen's abusers, and in the process become lovers. Lumen leaves Dexter in the season finale, however, after realizing she no longer feels the need to kill.

Lumen exited the show following the events of "The Big One".

Development
Lumen was created by executive producer Clyde Phillips for the fifth season of Dexter. Lumen is regularly portrayed by actress Julia Stiles. She originally signed on to appear in ten episodes of the series. In casting the role, producers were looking for someone with a vulnerable side. It was confirmed shortly before production that Stiles was in the final stages of appearance negotiations for a major role in the fifth season of Dexter. Showtime confirmed on June 7, 2010 that Stiles would appear on the show. They originally gave this character description: "She'll play a "mysterious young woman who forms a unique relationship" with the titular character, played by Golden Globe and SAG-winning actor Michael C. Hall."

The fifth season finale, "The Big One", marked the conclusion of the season-long subplot of Lumen seeking revenge against Jordan Chase (Jonny Lee Miller) and his accomplices, and marked the last in a string of regular guest appearances by Stiles and Miller. Stiles said at the start of her time on the series, she believed Lumen would likely be killed by the end of the season because most characters who have learned the truth about Dexter's double life have ended up dead. The actress said she never predicted that Lumen would break up with Dexter, and she found that scene difficult to perform, due to the level of intimacy the two characters had built up throughout the season. She prepared herself for the scene by focusing on the fact that Lumen was healed and the reality of the murders she committed with Dexter had sunk in. Stiles said she found Lumen's repudiation of Dexter particularly sad because she knew more about his darker side than anyone else, which meant her breakup was a rejection of him as a person.

Arc
Lumen is first seen in the series after witnessing Dexter kill Boyd Fowler, a serial killer who had been keeping her captive. While it is extremely inconvenient for Dexter to leave a witness alive, Lumen does not fit Dexter's "code", and so he is morally obligated to keep her alive, so he keeps her locked up in a secluded area until he figures out what to do. At first, Lumen is terrified of Dexter, believing he will kill her for witnessing his crime. Despite Dexter's constant reassurance that he will not kill her, Lumen refuses to trust him. She tries to escape, but Dexter catches her and shows her the bodies of Boyd Fowler's previous victims. He assures her that had he not killed Boyd, she would also have been murdered. Lumen then confides in Dexter and tells him that Boyd was not the only one to hurt her. It is ultimately revealed that she had been held captive for around a month, during which she was repeatedly raped and tortured by five men.

Obsessed with revenge, she attempts to enlist Dexter's help to hunt down the remaining perpetrators. He is unwilling to help her at first, and urges her to leave Miami and return home. Dexter goes to Lumen's motel room and discovers she had been tracking down her abusers. He tries to spare her the experience of killing by hunting down a registered sex offender he believes to have been one of the perpetrators, but learns that the man is innocent and stops her from killing him.

Unable to bring herself to leave Miami, Lumen finds and shoots one of her rapists. She calls Dexter, who reluctantly helps track down the wounded man and cautions her about killing the wrong person. The victim pleads his innocence at first, but then calls his co-conspirators on Lumen's cell phone, confirming her suspicion and prompting Dexter to kill him. They later meet at Dexter's house, where Lumen reveals that the man's death brought her a sense of peace, and the only way to find that peace again is to kill her other tormentors. Dexter recognizes this need as her "Dark Passenger" and finally agrees to help her.

Lumen turns up at the crime scene where Fowler's stocked and preserved victims are revealed from a traffic crash. There, she is spotted by Detective Joey Quinn, who asks disgraced cop Stan Liddy to look into her and Dexter. She identifies Cole Harmon, self-help guru Jordan Chase's head of security, as one of her rapists and saves Dexter from a surprise attack by Harmon. Setting up base at the hotel where Chase is giving his seminar, she helps Dexter set up and prepare for the kill. Harmon spots her in the lobby and chases her; Dexter barely manages to save her. Unable to extract any information, Lumen watches while Dexter kills him. While they dump the body, Liddy photographs them going out on Dexter's boat.

After the police uncover DVDs of the men torturing and raping their victims, Dexter switches Lumen's DVD with a scratched and empty one. He then brings it to Lumen, who is afraid and ashamed at the prospect that the police and Dexter watched it. Dexter assures her that no one has seen it. Lumen then acknowledges that she knows what a risk he is taking by being with her, before tearfully telling him that he has been her only way through this. She then forces herself to watch her own rape, as Dexter listens from another room, clearly disturbed by what he hears. Lumen proves instrumental in getting information from Emily Birch, the first victim of Chase's team and only other known survivor. This leads them to Alex Tilden, the first target. Tilden becomes Lumen's first victim, as Dexter allows her to make the killing blow at her request. Afterward, they return to Dexter's apartment, where they sleep together. As they lay in each other's arms, Dexter reflects that she is the first person to truly see him for who he is and accept him for it.

As Lumen and Dexter begin to plan how they will capture Chase, they realize they are being watched. Once Dexter determines that they are under police surveillance, he attempts to convince Lumen to leave Miami for her own safety. However, Lumen refuses to abandon him, and Dexter ultimately admits that he wants her to stay.

After receiving a distressed call from Emily, who says Chase contacted and threatened her, Lumen goes to Emily's house to reassure her, after unsuccessfully attempting to contact Dexter. This turns out to be a trap meant for Lumen and Dexter, however, and Chase kidnaps Lumen after murdering Emily. Dexter arrives later and can see that Lumen put up a fight, albeit unsuccessfully, and swears that he will not lose Lumen, too. After Dexter shows up to rescue Lumen, she finally kills Chase. After she and Dexter dispose of Chase's body, she admits to Dexter that she did not think they would be able to pull it off, describing it as a miracle. The next day, she regretfully tells Dexter she has to leave Miami; her "Dark Passenger" has left her, and she no longer feels the need to kill. She tells Dexter that she does not want to leave but has to, because his "Dark Passenger" has not left him. Dexter ultimately understands, tells her she should not be sorry that her darkness has left her, and promises that he will carry her darkness as well as his own.

Reception
Many critics have responded well to Stiles's portrayal of the character — so much so that her exit in "The Big One" was not well received. Matt Fowler of IGN said, "Having her leave was, unfortunately, inevitable and it meant that we had to sit through her explain the reason for her wanting to leave Dexter, which to us was a little plodding because we knew that it was all a way of getting her off the show when it felt so much more right, story-wise, for her character to want to stay. No, Dexter and Lumen's romance wasn't the true seller here, but it did fit within their vigilante partnership. And it seems like something that she wouldn't want to give up. I did appreciate Dexter's anger when he came to the sad realization that he was "forever broken, with an inner eternal dark flame."

During an interview, Julia Stiles said she didn't like the way Lumen left the show, either.

Stiles was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award for her performance.

René Chaloult

René Chaloult (January 26, 1901 – December 20, 1978) was a nationalist politician in Quebec, Canada.

Background

He was born on January 26, 1901 in Quebec City.

Political career

Chaloult first won a seat to the Legislative Assembly of Quebec as a Union Nationale candidate in the 1936 election in the district of Kamouraska.  In 1937, he and colleagues Oscar Drouin, Joseph-Ernest Grégoire, Philippe Hamel and Adolphe Marcoux left the Union Nationale.  Chaloult joined the Liberals and won re-election in the 1939 election as the Member for the district of Lotbinière.

During World War II, Chaloult opposed conscription.

He won re-election as an Independent in Québec-Comté electoral district in the 1944 and 1948 elections, but was defeated in the 1952 election and in the district of Jonquière-Kénogami in the 1956 election.

Chaloult retired to live at his summer home in Kamouraska. Each year on July 1, he would fly the Quebec flag outside his summer home at half-staff to show his nationalist inclinations.

Death

He died on December 20, 1978.

Legacy
For many years, Chaloult urged Quebec to adopt a distinctive design for its flag. On November 19, 1946, Chaloult entered a motion to provide Quebec with a unique flag. Two years later, the motion was to be voted on January 21, 1948. However, the opportunistic government of Maurice Duplessis instead issued a decree creating the current Quebec flag.

Bodorna Rock Columns Natural Monument

Bodorna Rock Columns Natural Monument () is a rock pillar with a height of 15 m and diameter 4 m near village Bodorna of Dusheti Municipality, Mtskheta-Mtianeti  Georgia at a distance of 70–80 m from the S3 highway (Georgia) at 813 m above sea level.
Natural monument is located approximately 150–200 m from Bodorna Church of Saint Virgin Mary  built in the 17th century and is overlooking the Aragvi valley from the river right bank on the slopes of eastern exposure. Locally this deemed natural tower is known as Tsotsola Rock and rumored to have some resemblance with figure of the Christian monk.

Monument origin and history
Monument origin is not completely clear, as it may be a denudational relict from a neogene conglomerate or from naturally cemented cobbles  known as pinnacle or hoodoo  that was later altered by man for cult purposes. Detailed lithostratigraphy studies are not available.
At the base the rock column has diameter of 4 m and column gradually narrows towards the top. Presently the column surface is covered with shrubbery.
The column contains a small cave with two niches, one of many, that were utilized as a shelter by early Christian monks in Georgia,  possibly in the V – VII centuries, and later during Timur's invasions of Georgia. The Georgian Chronicles reports that Timur's archers descended the column using ropes and shoot their arrows into the crowded cave.
Nearby slopes has many similar man-made caves scattered around.

Entire cave complex enjoys same protection as natural monument.

Kelston Park

Kelston Park is located in the village of Kelston, approximately 3 miles from Bath in North East Somerset, England.  Altogether the house and gardens of Kelston Park cover an area of approximately .  The house has been designated as a Grade II* listed building. The garden is Grade II* listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

The River Avon, Bristol & Bath Railway Path, A4 and railway track between Bristol and Bath can be viewed from the rear of the building, which is now primarily used as offices.

History

The first house on the site was north of the current building, beside the village church, where a walled courtyard and terraced earthworks are all that remains above ground. The original manor house was built between 1567 and 1574 by John Harington and was later finished by his son, Sir John Harington. It was intended to be one of the grandest houses in the county.

The Tudor mansion was demolished and the current house at Kelston Park was built on a ridge overlooking the Avon River, on the site of the Harington's summerhouse. It covers  on three floors, and was built around the 1760s by John Wood, the Younger for Sir Caesar Hawkins, who was  Serjeant-Surgeon to Kings George II and III. Sir Caesar Hawkins commissioned Capability Brown to lay out the park in 1767-8.

In 1828 it was sold by the Hawkins family to Joseph Neeld who built many of the outhouses. It passed down through the family to the Inigo-Jones family, who added an entrance lodge and the porch over the main entrance. The house was leased to the Methodist Church in 1967 for use as a training centre.

In 1992 the property was purchased to become the headquarters of The Andrew Brownsword Collection, which made greeting cards and were acquired by Hallmark Cards. Some of businesses that used the offices included McMullen Commercial Property Consultants, R D Owen & Co Chartered Accountants, Harrington Wood Chartered Financial Planners, bzb IT, Steel Media, and Hart Greaves.

By 2019 office use was no longer economic in part due to the need for extensive maintenance and renovation work, and a planning application was made to convert the buildings into a hotel.

Description
The mansion house has two storeys and an attic level with a mansard roof, on an almost-square footprint five window bays wide. The front elevation is to the north, with a pediment and open porch with two heavy Tuscan columns. Adjacent to the west is a service yard surrounded by service buildings including kitchens, stables and a coach house. Further to the north-west is a walled garden and former farm buildings.

On the south of the house and service buildings is a wide terrace enclosed by stone walls, with views south and east over the River Avon valley and toward Bath.

New Frontier Theater

The New Frontier Theater, known as the Kia Theatre between 2015 and 2018, is a multi-purpose events hall in the Araneta City in Cubao, Quezon City, Metro Manila, the Philippines.

History
The theater first opened in May 27, 1967 as the New Frontier Theater and was considered for some years to be the biggest theater in the Philippines, with at least 3,500 seating capacity. The theater also had an ice skating rink and a roller skating rink, which opened in 1968 and has a capacity of 900 skaters. It was used until the late 1980s after which the theater fell into disuse due to the emergence of home video formats such as Betamax, VHS and LaserDisc, as well as competition of new malls with cinemas, causing standalone theaters to close operations.

Renovations were planned as early as 2003 but it was almost a decade later that such works would have been completed. It was renovated and reopened on September 1, 2015. The renovation cost around ₱500 million. The facade of the original building was kept and the renovated theater has a 2,385 seating capacity.

The theater was renamed "Kia Theatre" after the Araneta Group signed a five-year licensing deal with Columbian Autocar Corporation, the Philippine distributor for Kia Motors until 2018, on July 15, 2015. The theater façade would feature a  Kia showroom as part of the agreement.

The theater reopened on August 15, 2015 with the staging of the musical, MLQ: Ang Buhay ni Manuel Luis Quezon. The first commercial show of the theater upon its reopening was The Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival which ran from September 1 to 6.

The theater reverted to its original name on October 1, 2018. It is connected to Gateway Mall and the Manhattan Parkview via elevated bridge.

Jersey Flegg Cup

The Jersey Flegg Cup is a junior rugby league competition played in New South Wales, contested among teams made up of players aged 20 or under. The competition is administered by the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL), and is named for Eastern Suburbs foundation player and prominent administrator of the game, Harry "Jersey" Flegg.

History
The Jersey Flegg Cup began in 1961 as an under-19 age group competition and was originally played over 9–12 weeks early in the season, alongside the SG Ball Cup and Harold Matthews Cup during the NSWRL's junior representative season. In 1998, with the advent of the National Rugby League (NRL), the competition switched to the current under-20 age limit and was played over a full season, running alongside the senior NRL competition and culminating with the Grand Final held on the same day as the NRL Grand Final.

The competition ceased at the end of the 2007 season to make way for the NRL-administered under-20 competition, the National Youth Competition, which commenced in 2008.

In 2016, the NRL announced that the National Youth Competition would be discontinued after the 2017 season, in favour of state-based under-20 competitions, administered by the Queensland Rugby League (QRL) and New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL).

On 1 February 2018, the NSWRL officially announced the reintroduction of the Jersey Flegg Cup for the 2018 season after a 10-year absence.

Teams
The Jersey Flegg Cup consists of fourteen teams, twelve based in New South Wales, one in Auckland, New Zealand and one in Victoria. In 2019, the Canberra Raiders and South Sydney Rabbitohs will return to the competition after using their New South Wales Cup affiliates in 2018, while the Victoria Thunderbolts join after spending the last four seasons in QRL-based competitions.

Season structure

Regular season
The Jersey Flegg Cup follows the same regular season format as the Intrust Super Premiership, with games usually played as curtain-raisers to the senior fixtures. Beginning in early March, a round of regular season games is then played almost every weekend for twenty-one weeks, ending in late August. Unlike the Intrust Super Premiership, the Jersey Flegg Cup features three full rounds where every team receives a bye. These rounds are scheduled in to accommodate university exam periods.

Teams receive two competition points for a win, and one point for a draw. The bye also receives two points; a loss, no points. Teams on the ladder are ranked by competition points, then match points differential (for and against) and points percentage are used to separate teams with equal competition points. At the end of the regular season, the club which is ranked highest on the ladder is declared minor premiers.

Finals series
The eight highest placed teams at the end of the regular season compete in the finals series. The Jersey Flegg follows the same finals format as the NRL and the Intrust Super Premiership. The system consists of a number of games between the top eight teams over four weeks in September, until only two teams remain.

These two teams then contest the Grand Final, which is played in late September at a suburban Sydney stadium (for example, Leichhardt Oval), as a curtain-raiser to the Intrust Super Premiership Grand Final.

Uwe Hohn

Uwe Hohn (born 16 July 1962) is a retired German track and field athlete who competed in the javelin throw. He is the only athlete to throw a javelin 100 metres or more, with his world record of . A new javelin design was implemented in 1986 and the records had to be restarted, thus Hohn's mark became an "eternal world record".

Born in Neuruppin, Hohn excelled at the javelin throw from a young age and won the 1981 European Junior Championship with a throw of 86.56 m, a junior record. He then won gold at the 1982 European Championships with a 91.34 m throw. He did not compete at the 1983 World Championships and missed out on the 1984 Summer Olympics as East Germany had boycotted the games. He did however win gold at the Friendship Games, throwing 94.44 m (Arto Härkönen won the 1984 Olympics with a throw of 86.76 m). In 1985, Hohn won the IAAF World Cup and European Cup but his career ended in 1986 after several setbacks due to a surgery.

After his retirement from competition, Hohn became a coach and since 1999 he has worked for SC Potsdam, the successor of ASK Vorwärts Potsdam, where he started his career as a sportsman.

World record
On 20 July 1984, competing in the Olympic Day of Athletics competition at the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark, Berlin, Hohn threw the javelin a distance of . Hohn's throw shattered the previous world record of 99.72 m set by Tom Petranoff of the United States in May 1983. Contrary to popular myth, this was not the primary reason for the change in javelin design rules that came into force starting in 1986; the relevant change of moving the javelin's centre of gravity forward by four centimetres had already been officially proposed prior to Hohn's record throw, not only to shorten distances but also to get rid of the then frequent flat or ambiguous landings, which often made it hard to assess if a throw should be declared legal. However, Hohn's record-breaking throw accelerated the process as throws of his distance were in danger of going beyond the available space in normal stadiums.

Coaching career
Hohn has been a professional coach since 1999. Among others, Hohn has coached China's national champion Zhao Qinggang. Hohn is expected to sign the contract to coach the Indian javelin squad including Junior world record holder Neeraj Chopra till the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) confirmed the development, saying a proposal has been sent to the government for clearance and hoping the German expert will join the national squad as early as possible as said by AFI president Adille Sumariwalla.

Personal life
Hohn has been married since 1983 and has two children. He is  tall and had a match weight of 112 kg.

Achievements
1976 to 1980: GDR champion for his age group
1981: European junior champion for the GDR starting in Utrecht with 86.58 m; European junior record with 86.58 m
1982: European Champion in Athens with 91.34 m
1984: GDR sportsman of the year. Threw the longest men's javelin throw ever at 104.80 m.
1985: Won the javelin event at the 1985 IAAF World Cup – Canberra with 96.96 m (best performance in the world that year)
1985: Set a championship record of 92.88 m at the 1985 European Cup

Bruce Williamson (businessman)

Bruce Williamson is an American energy company executive.  He is best known as a former chief executive office (CEO) for global markets of North Carolina-based Duke Energy and CEO of Houston-based Dynegy.

Williamson was born in Great Falls, Montana to George and June Williamson, and graduated from Great Falls High School in 1977. He spent his freshman year of college at the University of Idaho, transferred to the University of Montana-Missoula, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in finance in 1981. After discovering that the only employment he could get in Montana was a $10,000-a-year bank job, he took a position with Shell Oil in Houston, Texas, largely because a friend lived there. He later obtained a Master of Business Administration from the University of Houston.

Williamson left Shell to work for Pan Energy Corporation.  Pan Energy merged with the Duke Power Company in 1997 to become Duke Energy. Williamson rose to the position of President and CEO of Duke Energy Global Markets. In 2002, he was named President and Chief Executive Officer of Dynegy.  As the CEO of Dynegy,  Williamson received an award from the President's White Collar Task Force.  Further, the former United States Attorney for the Southern District of Texas, Michael Shelby, stated that Williamson becoming CEO, "has changed the standard operating procedures in such a way that honesty and candor [are] part of the business plan," and Williamson "helped ferret out potential wrongdoers."  As the CEO of Dynegy, Williamson restructured Dynegy out of bankruptcy, and reduced Dynegy's outstanding debt by over $10 billion.  Williamson resigned as CEO of Dynegy on February 10, 2011, after two takeovers over the company (both of which he supported) failed.  In 2012, Dynegy filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy to settle with creditors who held around $2.5 Billion in claims over one of its subsidiaries.

In July 2011, Williamson was named president and CEO of Cleco Corporation, a utility holding company based in Louisiana.  In his first year as CEO, he finalized the largest wholesale contract ever entered into for the Cleco Corporation by securing a 10-year contract with Dixie Electric Membership Corporation.  In December 2013, Cleco Corp. transitioned into the Midcontinent Independent System Operator Market, with the hope that this will provide additional growth opportunities.  Operationally, Cleco has improved its employee safety since Williamson joined the company.  Comparing results from 2012 to 2011, Cleco reduced personal injuries by 33 percent and its avoidable accidents by 45 percent.  Comparing results from 2012 to 2013, Cleco again improved its employee safety record by 20 percent and its avoidable accidents by 40 percent.  Also, since Williamson joined Cleco, the company has raised shareholder dividends five times for a total increase of sixty percent.

In 2014, Macquarie Group agreed to buy Cleco Corporation, including an assumption of $1.3 Billion in Debt. The sale then had to obtain regulatory approval  The proposed sale drew significant opposition from regulators at the Louisiana Public Service commission. Commissioner Cyle Holloway accused Williamson of selling Cleco to obtain a payout of $29 million and called for his resignation. Ultimately on March 29, 2016, the LPSC approved the sale.

Williamson currently serves on the Board of Directors for Questar Corporation (gas company) and for Southcross Energy.  Williamson is also on the University of Houston Dean's Advisory Board for the CT Bauer College of Business and the Chancellor's National Advisory Council.

Williamson and his wife, Kim, live in the Woodlands, TX and have two daughters.

Saajan

Saajan () is a 1991 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Lawrence D'Souza and produced by Sudhakar Bokade. It stars Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan, with Kader Khan, Reema Lagoo and Laxmikant Berde in supporting roles. Nadeem–Shravan composed the film's music whereas Sameer wrote the lyrics of them. Saajan grossed  worldwide. It became the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 1991.

Synopsis
During childhood, Aman (Sanjay Dutt) is an impoverished and lame orphan who is luckily befriended and adopted by a very wealthy family headed by Mr. Varma. Mr. Varma has one son called Akash (Salman Khan).

As Akash and Aman grow up as brothers, they bond very closely. Akash's personality is more care-free, flexible, gregarious and he turns into a Roadside Romeo, and a womaniser, while Aman grows up to be more of a serious-type person, and has a fond hobby of writing marvelous poems which are successfully published and turn into best-sellers, all under the pen name Sagar.

Gradually, Aman becomes popular and well-known all around town and has millions of fans. One of his fans is a pretty young woman by the name of Pooja Saxena (Madhuri Dixit), who frequently writes letters to correspond with her idol - Sagar. In her letters, she writes of how much she admires him, is in love with him and his poetic abilities and even wishes to meet him one day if possible... which she does, but does not recognise him, but he recognises her.

One day, as a twist of fate, none other than Akash meets Pooja (and being the vivacious womaniser) falls head over heels in love with her.

When Akash meets Aman in private, he explains to his brother Aman that this time he is really in love - and discloses a photo of Pooja. Aman is shocked and shaken at this, as he also was head over heels in love with Pooja, but now in order to help his brother, to reciprocate his feelings in an attempt to help Aman, suggests to Akash to pose as Sagar.

At this point, Akash does not know that his brother Aman writes poems under name of Sagar.

When Akash does this, Pooja is fooled and overjoyed that she has met her idol finally. Little does she know that the one posing as Sagar is Akash (Aman's younger brother). She is not aware that Aman is sacrificing his love for his younger brother.

An insecure and heartbroken Aman looks on, as he knows that many fans (including women) like his poetry, but they will never come out openly and love him when they see his handicap.

Gradually, Akash gets really tired of posing as a poet, he messes up the lines many times! Also, Akash discovers that Aman truly loves Pooja and that his brother, is actually Sagar – through a string of events triggered by a Pankaj Udhas show.

Akash musters up enough courage and comes to his senses about what is going on, then he confronts Aman (and brings Pooja with him secretly) with all the above and then Aman admits that he loves Pooja.

Pooja witnesses this encounter (behind a curtain) and then after Aman confesses that he loves Pooja (his fan) very much, Pooja comes out of hiding and becomes upset with both Akash and Aman and leaves their house in an emotional frenzy, confused about this whole fiasco.

Later, she meets up with Aman and tells him that she still can't forget him and that she would have loved him if he had revealed the truth that he is Sagar and cries a lot on his shoulder. Eventually, Akash decides to unite Pooja and Aman and sacrifices his love for Pooja.

James Hall (explorer)

James Hall (unknown, Hull – 1612, Greenland) was an English explorer. In Denmark, he was known as Jacob Hald. He piloted three of King Christian IV's Expeditions to Greenland under John Cunningham (1605), Godske Lindenov (1606), and Carsten Richardson (1607). In his first voyage he charted the west coast of Greenland as far north as 68° 35' N. The discovery of silver resulted in larger expeditions being sent the following two years, both of which were expensive failures. In 1612 he again went to Greenland, this time in search of the Northwest Passage. He had two English ships under his command, the 140-ton Patience and the 60-ton Heart's-Ease. William Baffin served as his chief pilot. On 12 or 22 July, he encountered Inuit in Amerdloq Fjord. Angry over the seizure of several Inuit by Cunningham in 1605, one of them struck Hall with a spear; he died the following day.

Wendell August Forge

The original Wendell August Forge facility was a historic landmark in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. It is the last remaining working forge in the state. The company operates retail stores in Grove City, Berlin, Ohio and Wilmington, North Carolina; the forge and the stores are well-known tourist destinations. Wendell August was the first to use the repoussé process of manufacture, and has operated near Grove City since 1932. It produces a variety of merchandise, including Americana, such as bowls, figurines and ornaments, as well as commemorative items.

When it was built in 1932, the forge was a simple one-story rectangular building measuring approximately  by ; its frame was steel, constructed on a foundation of poured concrete.  That property was located in a primarily residential neighborhood.

2010 fire

The historic facility was destroyed by a fire on March 6, 2010 started by a spark from an electric ventilation fan.  The fire moved rapidly throughout the structure, pressing almost two dozen local firefighters into service.

While the building itself was a total loss, firefighters knew where the dies that were most crucial to the forge's regular operation were held and worked to keep flames away from that part of the building, and were able to save the majority of them.

Prior to the fire, Wendell August Forge had just completed a deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins, which had been the biggest purchase in the forge's history.  The deal was to produce souvenir tickets for the NHL team's final home game at Mellon Arena before it would be demolished to make way for its successor, CONSOL Energy Center.  Team owner Mario Lemieux offered to advance some of the money to the forge prior to the order's completion and after being assured that the order would be filled without a problem.

The forge was operating from temporary locations within five days with little disruption in service. For the next three years, factory and office operations were located at the old Cooper-Bessemer plant in Grove City with a temporary retail outlet at the nearby Slovak Folk Crafts.

Wendell August Forge was grandfathered under subsequent zoning changes made in the borough of Grove City since it first opened.  It could only be rebuilt if it complied with the current zoning regulations which was not feasible With the help of a state grant of $4 million, the forge relocated to a new location in a substantially larger facility and increased its workforce from 70 to 120.

Tedbury Camp

Tedbury Camp is a multivallate Iron Age promontory hill fort defended by two parallel banks near Great Elm, Somerset, England.

Background

Hill forts developed in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age, roughly the start of the first millennium BC. The reason for their emergence in Britain, and their purpose, has been a subject of debate. It has been argued that they could have been military sites constructed in response to invasion from continental Europe, sites built by invaders, or a military reaction to social tensions caused by an increasing population and consequent pressure on agriculture. The dominant view since the 1960s has been that the increasing use of iron led to social changes in Britain. Deposits of iron ore were located in different places to the tin and copper ore necessary to make bronze, and as a result trading patterns shifted and the old elites lost their economic and social status. Power passed into the hands of a new group of people. Archaeologist Barry Cunliffe believes that population increase still played a role and has stated "[the forts] provided defensive possibilities for the community at those times when the stress [of an increasing population] burst out into open warfare. But I wouldn't see them as having been built because there was a state of war. They would be functional as defensive strongholds when there were tensions and undoubtedly some of them were attacked and destroyed, but this was not the only, or even the most significant, factor in their construction".

Description

The inner bank is  to  wide and stand  to  high in places. There may have been a third bank. It covers an area of approximately  between the Mells River and Fordbury Water.

It is also a site of Roman occupation between 337 and 366 which left behind a hoard of Constantine Junior coins which were found in 1691.

Further excavations and explorations of the site were carried out in the 19th and 20th centuries, with a Quern-stone being discovered between 1939 and 1945.

A quarry  north east of the camp actively extracted Carboniferous limestone in the 20th century and shows a geological angular unconformity.

Indalpine

Indalpine (INN, BAN; brand name Upstène; developmental code name LM-5008) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class drug that was briefly marketed. It was discovered in 1977 by the pharmacologists Le Fur and Uzan at Pharmuka, a small French pharmaceutical firm, who credit Baron Shopsin and his colleagues at NYU-Bellevue/NYU School of Medicine in New York with providing the basis for their work.  They were particularly influenced by the series of "synthesis inhibitor studies" carried out by Shopsin's team during the early to mid 1970s, and in particular, the clinical report by Shopsin et al. (1976) relating to PCPA's rapid reversal of antidepressant response to tranylcypromine in depressed patients. This led to an understanding of the role of the monoamine neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5HT) in the therapeutic effects of the available tricyclic and MAOI class antidepressants. The studies led to widespread recognition of a serotonin hypothesis of depression, contradicting theories that promoted the role of norepinephrine.

History

While citalopram and zimelidine were developed in the early 1970s, it was Pharmuka's indalpine that was first to reach the market. Baron Shopsin was recruited as consultant to Pharmuka throughout a research and development process that resulted in the marketing of indalpine in France and then worldwide, in 1982. With FDA approval of Pharmuka's IND submission to conduct clinical studies with indalpine and viqueline, Shopsin carried out and published the first clinical trials with these drugs in depressed outpatients in the U.S. Astra's SSRI zimelidine was marketed within a year (1983), but the next crop of SSRIs didn't become commercially available until the 1986 marketing of fluvoxamine in Belgium by Duphar, followed by approval in the United States later that year. Lilly's fluoxetine (Prozac) was approved in the US in 1987.

Meanwhile, zimelidine had been withdrawn soon after its marketing in 1983 due to the emergence of Guillain–Barré syndrome, a serious neurological disease. With lingering concerns among some Common Market countries and activist groups about the potential of SSRIs to induce adverse effects, and the reported association between indalpine and hematological effects, which emerged in the aftermath of Pharmuka's take over by Rhône Poulenc, indalpine was abruptly taken off the market by Rhône Poulenc. Irish psychiatrist David Healy characterized indalpine as being "born at the wrong time" during a period when "indalpine and psychiatry was under siege" by different interest groups in some of the Common Market countries. In line with indalpine's fate, research and development was halted relating to the 2 other 4-alkyl-piperidine derivatives developed by Pharmuka, viqualine (a serotonin releasing agent) and pipequaline (a GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator), both in different stages of development at the time.

Recently, revision of this molecular motif yielded SERT inhibitors with nanomolar and subnanomolar IC50 values.

Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania

Mt. Lebanon is a township with home rule status in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 33,137 at the 2010 census. It is a suburb of Pittsburgh.

Established in 1912 as Mount Lebanon, the township was a farming community until the arrival of streetcar lines, first opening in 1901. Now with the ability to commute to and from Downtown Pittsburgh daily, Mount Lebanon became a streetcar suburb, with the first real estate subdivision being laid out in November 1901. Further, the opening of the Liberty Tunnel in 1924 allowed easy automobile access to Pittsburgh. In 1975, the renamed Mt. Lebanon adopted one of the first home rule charters in Pennsylvania.

History
The first settlers arrived in 1773-1774, having purchased the land from the descendants of William Penn; other pioneers soon bought land from the state government.

In 1912, Mount Lebanon Township was incorporated as a "First Class Township" under Pennsylvania state law. It had formerly been a part of Scott Township, which in turn traces its origins to the long-defunct St. Clair Township. Mount Lebanon was not named for two Cedar of Lebanon trees that were planted in 1850 on Washington Road near the top of Bower Hill Road, but was named after the area from which they came, Mount Lebanon, due to the similarities between the two landscapes. Prior to the incorporation of the township, the "Mount Lebanon" name was used for the area of Upper St. Clair Township near the cedar trees.  In the 1880s, a post office located near the transplanted cedar trees was named "Mount Lebanon".  Incorporators of neighboring Dormont Borough initially tried to use the "Mount Lebanon" name in 1909, but were opposed by residents of the future Mount Lebanon Township.

In 1928, Mount Lebanon became the first First Class township in Pennsylvania to adopt the council–manager form of government and has had an appointed manager serving as the chief administrative officer since that time.

Mount Lebanon was a farming community until the arrival of streetcar lines, the first line to Pittsburgh opening on July 1, 1901 followed by a second in 1924. After the arrival of the streetcar lines, which enabled daily commuting to and from Downtown Pittsburgh, Mount Lebanon became a streetcar suburb, with the first real estate subdivision being laid out in November 1901.  Further, the opening of the Liberty Tubes in 1924 allowed easy automobile access to Pittsburgh. Between the 1920 and 1930 censuses, the township's population skyrocketed from 2,258 to 13,403. Today, Pittsburgh's mass transit agency, the Port Authority of Allegheny County, or "PATransit," operates a light rail system whose Red Line, which runs underneath Uptown Mt. Lebanon through the Mt. Lebanon Tunnel, merges with the Blue Line in Pittsburgh's Mt. Washington section. Mt. Lebanon's only platform station, Mt. Lebanon Station, is in Uptown Mt. Lebanon; the adjacent Dormont Junction and Castle Shannon stations are in neighboring municipalities. And as of the census of 2000, there were 33,017 people living in Mt. Lebanon.

In 1971, Muhammad Ali attempted to purchase a home in Virginia Manor, but racial discrimination prevented him from doing so. However, current and former residents claim that the rejection was due to the anticipated publicity and crowds which would result from the sale of the property to Ali.

On May 21, 1974, the electorate approved a Home Rule Charter, which took effect on January 1, 1975; as such, the community is no longer governed under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Township Code. Mount Lebanon became one of the first municipalities in Pennsylvania to adopt a home rule charter. In the charter, the official name of the municipality became Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania; the word "Mount" is abbreviated in all government documents, although the U.S. Postal Service continues to use "Mount."

Walter Nicks

Walter Nicks (July 26, 1925 – April 3, 2007) was an African-American modern dancer, choreographer, and teacher of jazz and modern dance. He was a certified master teacher of Katherine Dunham technique. He was professionally active for nearly 60 years.

Biography
Nicks was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and was raised in Cleveland, Ohio, where he graduated from Central High School. From 1942–1944 he attended Howard University. His early dance training took place at Cleveland's Karamu Settlement House.

He studied dance at the Katherine Dunham School in New York (1945), whose teachers included Dunham, Lavinia Williams, Talley Beatty, Tommy Gomez, Archie Savage and Marie Bryant. He also studied with José Limón, Robert Joffrey, Karel Shook, Louis Horst and Doris Humphrey.

Dunham awarded him (1947) a fellowship to study for a Master Teaching Certificate in Dunham Technique, which he received in 1948.

In 1947 Nicks was appointed Assistant Director of Dance at the Dunham School, a position which he held until 1953.

In 1948-49 he danced in the Benny Goodman Jazz Review on a 13-month tour.

Nicks left the Dunham School in 1953. Forming a small company, "El Ballet Negro de Walter Nicks," in Mexico, he performed at the Insurgentes Theatre in Mexico City in a production starring Cantinflas; at the Sans Souci in Havana; on television in the Dominican Republic, and at the Condado Beach Hotel in San Juan. Also during this period, he spent five months in Haiti observing Vodou dances.

Upon his return to New York, he became an instructor with the Phillips-Fort Studio (1954–55). In 1954 he performed with Joe Nash and others in Donald McKayle's "Games" at the 92nd Street Y.

Nicks died 3 April 2007 in Brooklyn, New York.

Achievements
Nicks is noted for:
Dancer in My Darlin' Aida, 1952
Dancer and Assistant Choreographer for House of Flowers in Philadelphia and on Broadway (working under choreographers George Balanchine and Herbert Ross), 1954-55. He coached Arthur Mitchell, Geoffrey Holder, Carmen De Lavallade, Dolores Harper, Louis Johnson, Donald McKayle, Albert Popwell and Glory Van Scott and others.
Assistant Choreographer for Jamaica under Jack Cole, working with Alvin Ailey and Christyne Lawson, 1957–59
Assistant Choreographer for Carmen Jones under Oona White at City Center Theatre
John Hay Whitney Fellowship to study cultural dances in Brazil (1956–1957)
Choreorographer for Harry Belafonte (1959–1963); he choreographed Belafonte specials on CBS-TV: "Tonight with Belafonte" (1959) which won Belafonte an Emmy, "New York 19" (1960), "Look Up and Live." and several Belafonte stage productions that toured the country, including "Sing, Man, Sing" (1956), with dancers Alvin Ailey and Mary Hinkson, and "Belafonte '63".

Nicks introduced jazz dance instruction to Europe at the International Academy of Dance in Krefeld, Germany (1959).

In Sweden, under the auspices of Lia Schubert, Nicks became a consultant at the University of Stockholm (1960–67), a guest instructor at the Swedish Ballet Academy (1960), and performed there with his small company (1961–65). He appeared several times on Swedish television in the 1960s; of particular importance was the series "Introduction to Jazz Ballet" with Schubert (1966). He was professor and Director of Jazz Dance at Stockholm's Statens Dansskola (1967–1971). He choreographed the Swedish production of West Side Story (1968). He danced in a 1969 concert of Duke Ellington's sacred music with the Duke Ellington Orchestra at Gustaf Vasa Church in Stockholm, which was broadcast on Swedish television.

As a consultant to the government of Guinea in 1963, Nicks studied traditional dances and formulated recommendations which resulted in the formation of Le Ballet National Djoliba by President Sékou Touré.

In the Summer of 1972, at the request of the French Federation of Dance, Nicks founded the Walter Nicks Dance Theatre Workshop. Under the auspices of the Federation, the company toured France and Belgium, and later performed in the French Caribbean.

Nicks taught at international dance workshops and festivals in Germany, France, Israel, Spain, Italy, Finland, and East Berlin.

For several years he taught at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen-Werden, Germany.

Meanwhile, Nicks continued to be professionally active in the United States.  The Walter Nicks Dance Theatre Workshop was affiliated with the Connecticut College American Dance Festival for several years beginning in 1973.
