He really gave his whole life to that club. At a certain point he could also play higher football, but he remained loyal to Lokeren. He would also be there after his career. Have been given a role. But now he should not come down. I also think he wants to keep playing as high as possible. My best memory of Lokeren? Our semi-final in the cup against KV Oostende in 2014 and the final itself, of course. Then you had that European qualification against Hull. And the match in Legia Warsaw. I had little expectations in advance; but it was incredible. The atmosphere was great, the stadium was good, the hotel. We did lose, but I played that match well myself."

But in October 2018, Odoi changed his mind by stating that he wanted to earn a place in the Belgium national squad. He switched to represent Ghana in 2022, and debuted in a 0–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification tie with Nigeria on 25 March 2022.

text: Outside of football, Odoi studied to become a physical education teacher and was studying that in college while working his way of becoming a professional footballer. In doing so, Odoi said in an interview with The Guardian that he received good grades at school.


title: Denis Odoi

text: Odoi is close friends with Napoli and Belgium striker Dries Mertens, having known each other since they were both five. However, at one point, Odoi revealed in the interview with The Guardian that he once tackled Mertens so seriously that he got "suspended from training for the rest of the week" and did not tell his parents, though it gave him "more time to do my homework." Growing up, Odoi watched Premier League and Serie A when he was a youngster and served to be an inspiration for him to play football.

text: Janice Rogers Brown (born May 11, 1949) is an American jurist. She served as a United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit from 2005 to 2017 and before that, Associate Justice of the California Supreme Court from 1996 to 2005. She is a member of the Federalist Society and frequently features at events hosted by the organization.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Her 2003 nomination by George W. Bush to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was opposed by civil rights groups and stalled for nearly two years by Democratic senators who saw her as an extreme "conservative judicial activist.” She was eventually re-nominated and confirmed in 2005. The following month, after Justice Sandra Day O'Connor retired from the United States Supreme Court, Brown was reportedly considered as a potential nominee to replace O'Connor. Brown was ultimately not nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Brown was born Janice Olivia Allen in Greenville, Alabama in 1949. Her father was a World War II veteran who sharecropped a leased 158-acre plot before reenlisting. After her parents separated, she was raised primarily by her paternal grandmother until, as a teenager, she moved to Sacramento, California, with her mother who was a nurse. When her mother remarried, she took the name Rogers.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Brown earned a B.A. from California State University, Sacramento in 1974 while working as a single mother at the Department of Corrections where she met her first husband, Allen E. Brown Sr., who was an administrator there. She earned a J.D. from UCLA in 1977. She received a Master of Laws degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 2004.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Brown has said that during her childhood her family refused to enter race-segregated businesses and that she as a "young single mother once called herself so leftist as to be almost Maoist."


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: From 1979 to 1987, she served as California Deputy Attorney General for the Criminal and Civil Divisions.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: From 1987 to 1989, Brown was Deputy Secretary and General Counsel for the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency and a University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law Adjunct Professor from 1988 to 1989.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: She briefly entered private practice at the firm of Nielsen, Merksamer, Parrinello, Mueller & Naylor in 1990, but left in January 1991 to return to government as Legal Affairs Secretary for Governor Pete Wilson from January 1991 to November 1994. The job included diverse duties, ranging from analysis of administration policy, court decisions, and pending legislation to advice on clemency and extradition questions. The Legal Affairs Office monitored all significant state litigation and had general responsibility for supervising departmental counsel and acting as legal liaison between the Governor's office and executive departments.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: In November 1994, Wilson appointed Brown to the California Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: In May 1996, Wilson appointed Brown as Associate Justice to the California Supreme Court. Brown was rated "not qualified" by the California State Bar JNE Commission for her lack of experience and tendency to inject her political views into her opinion. Brown was the first "not qualified" appointment to the California Supreme Court.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: In "Hi-Voltage Wire-Works, Inc. v. City of San Jose" (2000), Brown wrote overturning a program of racial set-asides adopted by the city of San Jose. The opinion upheld an amendment to the California Constitution which banned discrimination against or preferential treatment for any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, education, or contracting.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Brown also wrote the majority opinion in "Varian v. Delfino", an important First Amendment case involving the interpretation of California's SLAPP statute.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: In another case, "American Academy of Pediatrics v. Lungren" (1997), Brown dissented from an opinion striking down a parental consent law for abortions. Brown, who declined to discuss her personal views on abortion when she was appointed to the court, defended the law during oral arguments. “Isn’t the law just acknowledging less capacity on the part of minors than adults, and isn’t that rational?” she asked.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: In 2000, she authored the opinion in "Kasler v. Lockyer", upholding the right of the State of California to ban semi-automatic firearms, and of the Attorney General of California to add to the list of prohibited weapons. Her opinion in that case clearly explained that the decision was not an endorsement of the policy, but rather recognition of the power of the state.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Brown was the lone dissenter to contend that a provision in the California Constitution requires drug offenders be given treatment instead of jail time, and also voted to uphold California's ban on semi-automatic firearms.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Brown was nominated by President George W. Bush to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on July 25, 2003 to fill the seat vacated by Stephen F. Williams.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on her nomination on October 22. After her name had passed out of committee and had been sent to the full Senate, there was a failed cloture vote on her nomination on November 14, 2003. Brown's nomination was returned to the President under the standing rules of the Senate when the 108th United States Congress adjourned.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Bush renominated Brown on February 14, 2005, early in the first session of the 109th United States Congress. On April 21, 2005, the Senate Judiciary Committee again endorsed Brown and referred her name to the full Senate. On May 23, Senator John McCain brokered an agreement between seven Republican and seven Democratic U.S. Senators, the Gang of 14 deal, to ensure an up-or-down vote on Brown and several other stalled Bush nominees.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights opposed her nomination to the court based on her record on the California Supreme Court where she exhibited "a strong, persistent, and disturbing hostility toward affirmative action, civil rights, the rights of individuals with disabilities, workers' rights, and the fairness of the criminal justice system."


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Democrats blocked Brown's confirmation because they saw her as a "conservative judicial activist who ignores the law in favor of her own political views", "one of President Bush's most ideological and extreme judicial nominees", and a "jurist who supported limits on abortion rights and corporate liability and opposed affirmative action." On June 8, freshman Senator Barack Obama, in a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate, characterized her judicial activism as social darwinism. He said:Justice Scalia says that, generally speaking, "the legislature has the power to make laws and the judiciary should only interpret the laws that are made or are explicitly in the Constitution." That is not Justice Brown's philosophy. It is simply intellectually dishonest and logically incoherent to suggest that somehow the Constitution recognizes an unlimited right to do what you want with your private property and yet does not recognize a right to privacy that would forbid the Government from intruding in your bedroom. Yet that seems to be the manner in which Justice Brown would interpret our most cherished document.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Brown's nomination to the Court of Appeals was confirmed on June 8, 2005 by a vote of 56–43, after centrists in the Senate "signed a pact pledging not to filibuster judicial nominees except in 'extraordinary' circumstances. She received her commission on June 10. Brown was the second judge nominated to the D.C. Circuit by Bush and confirmed by the Senate. She began hearing federal cases on September 8, 2005.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: One month into Brown's tenure she was reportedly considered as one of 13 potential nominees to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the United States Supreme Court. The potential candidates included John G. Roberts, who was initially chosen by Bush but instead nominated for the seat of Chief Justice William Rehnquist who died unexpectedly, and Samuel Alito, who was then nominated for O'Connor's seat. In July 2005, Senator Joe Biden appeared on "Face the Nation", and said a filibuster to prevent Brown from replacing O'Connor was more likely than if she were nominated to replace a more conservative justice, like Rehnquist.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Brown's dissenting opinion in "Omar v. Harvey" sets forth her judicial outlook on the constitutional balance of powers. The United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld an injunction that forbade the U.S. military to transfer Shawqi Ahmad Omar, a suspected insurgent, out of U.S. custody while his "habeas corpus" suit was pending. Brown's dissent took the view that the majority was trespassing on the Executive Branch's authority:


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: In 2012, she wrote a concurring opinion for the case "Hettinga v. United States" in which she severely criticized the dominant post-"Lochner" approach in the U.S. judiciary, that laws involving economic policy deserve "a strong presumption of validity."


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: In June 2017, Brown wrote for a unanimous circuit panel finding that the next friend of Yemenis killed in a U.S. drone strike could not sue under the Torture Victims Protection Act nor the Alien Tort Statute because the attack was not justiciable. However she wrote a separate concurring opinion that criticized this lack of oversight, which is barred by precedent, concluding, "The political question doctrine, and the state secrets privilege confer such deference to the Executive in the foreign relations arena that the Judiciary has no part to play. These doctrines may be deeply flawed."


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: In August 2017, Brown partially dissented when the court found that the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act authorized the prosecution of the Nisour Square massacre killers.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: In November 2018, President Donald Trump reportedly considered nominating Brown for U.S. Attorney General after the resignation of Jeff Sessions. Trump appointed Matthew Whitaker acting U.S. Attorney General before nominating William Barr to the position in December 2018.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: In 2019, Brown held the position of jurist-in-residence, funded by a grant from the Hugh and Hazel Darling Foundation, at University of California Berkeley School of Law, co-teaching a workshop class with John Yoo and Steven F. Hayward.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: In November 2021, she headlined and gave an address on Cancelling Cancel Culture at a University of California, Berkeley event co-hosted with the Federalist Society and the Pacific Research Institute.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: As of November 2021, Brown was on the Boards of Regents of Pepperdine University and the University of the Pacific and on the Board of Advisors of the "New Civil Liberties Alliance", a conservative-libertarian law firm opposed to "the administrative state".


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Brown is affiliated with the Federalist Society, the American Judges Association, and the American Judicature Society.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Brown shared her family's liberal Democratic views but later became more conservative. She has been critical of affirmative action and abortion rights. In "People v. Robert Young, 34 Cal. 4th 1149, 1237, (2005)", Brown, ignoring prior precedent set by the California Supreme Court in 1985, argued that Black women should not be considered as a "cognizable group" and that prosecutors could therefore "use preemptory ["sic"] challenges to exclude jurors solely on the basis that they are black women."


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Her political beliefs have been expressed in speeches, notably one delivered to the University of Chicago Law School Federalist Society in 2000. Brown's speech cited Ayn Rand and lamented the triumph of "the collectivist impulse" in which capitalism receives "contemptuous tolerance but only for its capacity to feed the insatiable maw of socialism." Brown argued that "where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates, and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies" and suggested that the ultimate result for the United States has been a "debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." She has also compared liberal democracy to slavery by the government.


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: Her remarks gained particular attention for her thesis that the 1937 court decisions, such as "West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish", upholding minimum-wage laws and other New Deal legislation, marked "the triumph of our own socialist revolution" and was the culmination of "a particularly skewed view of human nature" that could be "traced from the Enlightenment, through the Terror, to Marx and Engels, to the Revolutions of 1917 and 1937." She called instead for a return to Lochnerism, the pre-1937 view that the US Constitution severely limits federal and state power to enact economic regulations. In an exegesis of Brown's speech that was largely responsible for bringing it to public attention during her confirmation process in 2005, legal-affairs analyst Stuart Taylor Jr. noted, "Almost all modern constitutional scholars have rejected Lochnerism as 'the quintessence of judicial usurpation of power'" and cited "leading conservatives — including Justice Antonin Scalia, Senator Orrin Hatch, and former Attorney General Edwin Meese, as well as [Robert] Bork."


title: Janice Rogers Brown

text: In the same speech, Brown explained that the Federalist Society had been described as a "rare bastion (nay beacon) of conservative and libertarian thought" in her invitation to speak, and that the "latter notion [had] made your invitation well-nigh irresistible." She also gave hints of her philosophical foundations, approvingly quoting descriptions of private property as "the guardian of every other right" and collectivism as "slavery to the tribe". She also described government as a "leviathan [that] will continue to lumber along, picking up ballast and momentum, crushing everything in its path."

text: Janice Rogers Brown had one son, Nathan Allen Brown, born in 1971, with her first husband, Allen E. Brown Sr., who died of cancer in 1988. Three years later, she married jazz electric bassist Dewey Parker.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: The Duchess of Duke Street is a BBC television drama series set in London between the late 1800s and 1925. It was created by John Hawkesworth, previously the producer of the ITV period drama "Upstairs, Downstairs". It starred Gemma Jones as Louisa Leyton Trotter, the eponymous "Duchess" who works her way up from servant to renowned cook to proprietor of the upper-class Bentinck Hotel in Duke Street, St. James's, in London.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: The story is loosely based on the real-life career of Rosa Lewis (née Ovenden), the "Duchess of Jermyn Street", who ran the Cavendish Hotel in London, at the corner of Duke St, St. James's. When the show first aired, there were many people who still remembered her, as she lived until 1952. According to census returns, she was born in Leyton, Essex, to a watchmaker. In the series, Louisa's family name is Leyton, and her father is a clockmaker.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: The programme lasted for two series totalling 31 episodes, shown in 1976 and 1977. Shown later on PBS in the United States, it was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series in 1980. The theme music was composed by Alexander Faris.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: Beautiful but low-born Louisa Leyton has one driving ambition: to become a great cook. She finds employment as a cook in the household of Lord Henry Norton. His handsome, wealthy, aristocratic nephew, Charlie Tyrrell, attempts to seduce her, but she rebuffs him. Louisa manages to convince Lord Norton's sexist French chef, Monsieur Alex, into accepting her as his apprentice.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: When Louisa is unexpectedly called upon to prepare a dinner by herself, she catches the eye of one of the guests, Edward, the Prince of Wales, who admires both her cooking and her appearance. After the dinner, Louisa is pressured into becoming Edward's mistress. Against her own wishes, she agrees to marry Lord Norton's head butler, Augustus "Gus" Trotter, to maintain the appearance of respectability and to protect the royal reputation. Gus and Louisa are given a house, and her involvement with the prince commences. In time, Edward's mother, Queen Victoria, dies. Edward assumes the throne as King Edward VII, causing him to end his relationship with Louisa.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: Louisa's shaky marriage to Gus becomes strained, both from her affair with the prince and her great success as a chef. In an effort to help him recover his pride, Louisa purchases the Bentinck Hotel and talks a reluctant Gus into managing it. Before long, abetted by his sister, he lets the authority go to his head. His arrogance alienates the staff and, more importantly, the guests. Once Louisa discovers that he has lavishly entertained his friends and driven away the guests, she throws both him and his meddling sister out. Then she discovers, to her horror, the mountain of bills he has left unpaid.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: With only Mary, one of Lord Norton's servants, to assist her, she sets to work to pay the debts, taking any and all cooking jobs, however humble, but finally she collapses from overwork in the street very early one morning. Charlie Tyrrell is passing by (leaving a late-night assignation) and takes her back to the Bentinck. Once he learns of Louisa's financial woes, he convinces her to allow him to help her to by becoming a silent partner in the hotel.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: Louisa keeps one of the Bentinck's previous employees, the elderly head waiter Merriman, and hires the brisk, soldierly Starr, who is always accompanied by his dog Fred, as the porter. From their former employer, Louisa takes along her loyal Welsh assistant and friend Mary. (In the final episode, Starr and Mary become engaged.)


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: Rounding out the principal cast is Major Toby Smith-Barton, an upper-class, retired Army officer. The Major enjoys wagering on the horse races and ends up unable to pay his hotel bill. Reluctant to "toss him out on the street" and liking the man, Louisa offers him a position: general adviser, bellhop and greeter.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: Charlie and Louisa eventually have a very passionate romance. Infatuated with Charlie, Louisa begins to neglect both the hotel and her cooking. Recognizing what is happening, the Major steps in and has a discreet word with Charles. Knowing how much the establishment means to Louisa, Charlie leaves for an extended stay in America, giving her a chance to refocus on her business. Grief-stricken at first, Louisa eventually regains her balance and makes the Bentinck a great success, only to discover that she is pregnant. Eventually, Louisa secretly gives birth to their illegitimate daughter Lottie. Louisa accepts Charlie's suggestion that Lottie be discreetly adopted by a young couple who work on his estate. Later, Charlie and Louisa agree it is best they remain friends, not lovers.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: Upon the death of his father, Charlie inherits the family fortune and the title of Lord Haslemere. With Louisa's approval, Charlie marries another woman. He tells Louisa that if his marriage has any hope of working, he will have to be away from her.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: However, when Charlie's wife later dies, he and Louisa renew their relationship. They decide to postpone their wedding until the end of the First World War. However, Charlie dies of a head injury received while fighting in the trenches. Louisa is grief-stricken, but gradually recovers.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: Louisa informs the teenage Lottie her true parentage. Lottie accepts her mother's offer to take her to London. Louisa, not quite knowing what to do with her, eventually sends her to a Swiss finishing school to become a lady. When Lottie returns, she has her heart set on being a singer instead, much to Louisa's initial disapproval.


title: The Duchess of Duke Street

text: Louisa's parents occasionally make an appearance. She is on very good terms with her ineffectual, but loving father, but not with her critical, abrasively selfish mother. Late in the series, Louisa's father dies, but not before giving his modest savings to his granddaughter to help her pursue her singing career. Louisa becomes reconciled to Lottie's career choice.


title: Mushroom ketchup

text: Mushroom ketchup is a style of ketchup that is prepared with mushrooms as its primary ingredient. Originally, ketchup in the United Kingdom was prepared with mushrooms as a primary ingredient, instead of tomato, the main ingredient in contemporary preparations of ketchup. Historical preparations involved packing whole mushrooms into containers with salt. It is used as a condiment and may be used as an ingredient in the preparation of other sauces and other condiments. Several brands of mushroom ketchup were produced and marketed in the United Kingdom, some of which were exported to the United States, and some are still manufactured as a commercial product.


title: Mushroom ketchup

text: In the United Kingdom, ketchup was historically made with mushrooms as a primary ingredient. The outcome was sometimes referred to as "mushroom ketchup". In contemporary times, ketchup's primary ingredient is typically tomato. Mushroom ketchup appears to have originated in Great Britain. In the United States, mushroom ketchup dates back to at least 1770 in English-speaking colonies in North America. A manuscript cookbook from Charleston, South Carolina that was written in 1770 by Harriott Pinckney Horry documented a mushroom ketchup that used two egg whites to clarify the mixture. This manuscript also contained a recipe for walnut ketchup. Richard Briggs's "The English Art of Cookery", first published in 1788, has recipes for both mushroom ketchup and walnut ketchup.


title: Mushroom ketchup

text: The preparation of mushroom ketchup involved packing whole mushrooms into containers with salt, allowing time for the liquid from the mushrooms to fill the container, and then cooking them to a boiling point in an oven. They were finished with spices such as mace, nutmeg and black pepper, and then the liquid was separated from solid matter by straining. Several species of edible mushrooms were used in its preparation, and some versions used vinegar as an ingredient. The final product had a dark color that was derived from the spores that transferred from the mushrooms to the solution. The version in "The English Art of Cookery" calls for dried mushrooms to be used for the ketchup's preparation." This version also uses red wine in the ketchup's preparation, and uses a cooking reduction, in which one-third of the product is reduced, after which the final product is bottled.


title: Mushroom ketchup

text: The book "British Edible Fungi", published in 1891, states that for optimal results, "mixed fungi should not be used, beyond certain limits..." Per this source, some species of mushrooms may be mixed together in mushroom ketchup's preparation, but certain species should not be mixed together, and some should not be mixed with others at all. This book also includes a preparation for "double ketchup" that involves reducing mushroom ketchup to half its original state, which doubles its strength through the evaporation of water.


title: Mushroom ketchup

text: In some instances in the late 19th century in the United States, ketchup sold in towns and labeled as "mushroom ketchup" did not actually contain mushrooms. These products have been described as "easy to detect", and as distinguishable by the use of a microscope.


title: Mushroom ketchup

text: In the 19th century, some sauces were prepared using mushroom ketchup, such as "quin sauce". Quin sauce may be prepared by adding mushroom ketchup or walnut ketchup and anchovies to a prepared "essence d'assortiment" sauce, which is prepared using white wine, vinegar, lemon juice, dried mushrooms, garlic, shallot, cloves, bay leaves, mace, nutmeg, salt and pepper.


title: Mushroom ketchup

text: It is also used as an ingredient to flavor Scotch brown soup, a bread soup made with beef, in an early 19th-century recipe from Christian Isobel Johnstone.


title: Mushroom ketchup

text: An 1857 recipe for "camp ketchup" used mushroom ketchup as an ingredient, in addition to beer, white wine, anchovy, shallot, ginger, mace, nutmeg and black pepper. The recipe combined these ingredients and then called for allowing the mixture to sit for fourteen days, after which it was bottled. Additional 1857 recipes for camp ketchup used ingredients such as mushroom ketchup, vinegar, walnut ketchup, anchovy, soy, garlic, cayenne pods and salt.


title: Mushroom ketchup

text: Several commercial mushroom ketchups were, and still are, produced in the United Kingdom; some of the brands included Crosse and Blackwell's Mushroom Catsup, Morton's Mushroom Ketchup, Jacky's Pantry Mushroom Ketchup and Geo Watkins Mushroom Ketchup. Some of these companies exported their product to the United States, which created competition with ketchup products manufactured in the U.S. by the H. J. Heinz Company.


title: Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki

text: Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki (English: "Martial Arts Confrontation") better known by its initials KSW, is widely considered to be the premiere mixed martial arts organization in Poland and one of the leading in Europe.


title: Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki

text: Martin Lewandowski had been the manager of the Hotel Marriott in Warsaw when he met Maciej Kawulski in 2002. Kawulski was organizing one of the biggest sports expos in Poland at that time, and as both businessmen come from martial arts backgrounds, they quickly found a common subject. Eighteen months later the first KSW show was born.


title: Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki

text: The promotion is famed for its four and eight-man tournaments, which until KSW X - Dekalog took place over the period of one night, but since KSW XI they are split, with the tournament final taking place on the next event. KSW XV is the first event without a new tournament, only with extra fights and finals from previous tournaments.


title: Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki

text: Different from other bigger promotions such as the UFC, KSW adopted the strategy of having events that are less frequent but bigger, focusing on creating big shows with stacked cards and with great spectacle. In 2017, beat the record to largest live attendance to a MMA event in Europe, and second-largest in history with 57,776 fans, only after the Pride Shockwave in 2002 and ahead of UFC 193.


title: Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki

text: Several fighters who have been successful in KSW have signed on to more well known promotions such as the UFC. KSW has its own fight team, the KSW Team, which consists of some of the promotion's elite fighters, such as Mamed Khalidov, Jan Błachowicz, Krzysztof Kulak, Łukasz Jurkowski or Antoni Chmielewski. KSW co-operates with many other promotions in Europe by exchanging fighters, for example WFC and The Cage. KSW runs the majority of its shows live on a variety of TV networks (Polsat Sport, Polsat Sport Extra) throughout Europe. Since KSW XI, the promotion runs its shows live on nationally available at private free-to-air television network Polsat.

title: Adriano (footballer, born 1984)

text: Adriano Correia Claro (born 26 October 1984), known simply as Adriano, is a Brazilian professional footballer who last played for Belgian club Eupen. One of few players in professional football who are genuinely ambidextrous, he is capable of playing as a defender or midfielder on both sides of the pitch.


title: Adriano (footballer, born 1984)

text: After starting his career with Coritiba, he moved to Spain in 2005, going on to spend several seasons in La Liga with Sevilla and Barcelona and win several major titles with both clubs, including the treble with the latter in 2015.


title: Adriano (footballer, born 1984)

text: A Brazilian international for ten years, Adriano represented his country in two Copa América tournaments, winning the 2004 edition.


title: Adriano (footballer, born 1984)

text: Born in Curitiba, Paraná, Adriano started professionally for his hometown club Coritiba, making his first-team debuts at not yet 18. In January 2005 he joined Spain's Sevilla FC in a four-and-a-half-year deal, his La Liga debut arriving on the 29th in a 4–0 home loss against eventual champions FC Barcelona; the Andalusians, however, did finish sixth and qualified for the UEFA Cup.


title: Adriano (footballer, born 1984)

text: In the following seasons, Adriano continued to feature in several positions for Sevilla with equal success as they won back-to-back UEFA Cups, with the player contributing with 25 games and four goals in both editions combined. In the final of the latter edition, he opened the score against RCD Espanyol in an eventual penalty shootout win; previously, in late September 2006, he had added a further five years to his link.


title: Adriano (footballer, born 1984)

text: After three years residing in the country, Adriano was granted Spanish citizenship. He struggled with some injuries during the 2009–10 campaign, but still contributed with 27 matches (no goals) as his team finished fourth and returned to the UEFA Champions League.


title: Adriano (footballer, born 1984)

text: On 16 July 2010, Adriano signed a 4+1 contract with Barcelona, for €9.5 million plus a conditional fee of €4 million – it also included a buyout clause of €90 million. He was awarded the No. 21 shirt vacated by Dmytro Chyhrynskyi, and made his debut in a pre-season friendly against Vålerenga Fotball, coming on as a second-half substitute; on 14 August he first appeared officially, in the first leg of Supercopa de España, a 3–1 loss at former side Sevilla.


title: Adriano (footballer, born 1984)

text: Adriano spent the vast majority of his first season with "Barça" as a substitute. On 2 February 2011, in a rare start, he scored his first goal for the Catalans in a 3–0 semi-final away win against UD Almería in the Copa del Rey (8–0 on aggregate); due to the illness of first-choice left-back Eric Abidal he became a regular starter from March onwards, although the Frenchman recovered in time to start in the 2011 UEFA Champions League Final.


title: Adriano (footballer, born 1984)

text: In 2011–12, Adriano was again mostly a reserve for the Pep Guardiola-led side. On 15 December 2011, however, in the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup, he scored the first two goals in a 4–0 semi-final win over Sadd Sports Club, the first coming after a mistake by the Qatari team's defense to open the score in the 25th minute.


title: Adriano (footballer, born 1984)

text: Early into the 2012–13 season, Adriano played the role of hero and villain in a matter of days: in the Spanish Supercup second leg he was sent off midway through the first half of an eventual 2–1 away loss against Real Madrid (4–4 aggregate defeat on the away goals rule), for bringing down Cristiano Ronaldo as the last man; On 2 September 2012, he scored the game's only goal at home against Valencia CF, through a spectacular right-foot curl.


title: Adriano (footballer, born 1984)

Ambedkar was influenced by John Dewey and his work on democracy. In 1916 he completed his second thesis, National Dividend of India - A Historic and Analytical Study for another M.A. In October 1916, he enrolled for the Bar course at Gray's Inn, and at the same time enrolled at the London School of Economics where he started working on a doctoral thesis. 1917 The term of his scholarship from Baroda ended, so that he was obliged to go back to India in June with his work unfinished; he was, however, given permission to return and finish within four years. He sent his precious and much-loved collection of books back on a steamer—but it was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine Ambedkar went to Baroda State to work as a probationer in the Accountant General's Office . A scholarship of 11.50 British pounds a month, for three years, was awarded to the young Ambedkar and per the agreement he has to serve baroda for 10 years after the completion of his studies.

title: Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar (film)

text: In an interview with Pritish Nandy of "Rediff.com", director Jabbar Patel said that the research and filming took three years each. The government said they wanted a film on the scale of Richard Attenborough's "Gandhi". For the role of Ambedkar, they considered hundreds of actors around the world. Patel claimed that, in that search, they also sought Robert De Niro who was very keen on the role but backed off when he was told that he had to drop his American accent and speak the way Ambedkar did—in his typically "clipped Indo-British accent". Mammootty was cast by chance when Patel saw his picture on a magazine and felt he had some resemblance with Ambedkar. Mammootty was initially resistant to be cast as that would have meant shaving off his mustache, recalls Patel. Since there were no footage of Ambedkar available to them, his body language and way of talking was to be done out of imagination. The film was simultaneously shot in English and Hindi.


title: The Wolfpack

text: The Wolfpack is a 2015 American documentary film, directed by Crystal Moselle. It is about the Angulo family, who homeschooled and raised their seven children (six boys and one girl) in the confinement of their apartment in the Lower East Side of New York City. The film premiered on January 25, 2015 at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the U.S. Documentary Grand Jury Prize.


title: The Wolfpack

text: Locked away in an apartment in the Lower East Side of Manhattan for fourteen years, the Angulo family's seven children — Visnu, their only daughter, and her six brothers: Bhagavan (b. 1991/1992), twins Narayana (who now goes by Josef) and Govinda (b. 1993/1994), Mukunda (b. 1995/1996), Krisna (who now goes by Glenn, b. 1997/1998), and Jagadesh (who now goes by Eddie, b. 1998/1999) — learned about the world through watching films. They also re-enact scenes from their favorite movies. They were homeschooled by their mother and confined to their sixteenth story four-bedroom apartment in the Seward Park Extension housing project. Their father, Oscar, had the only door key and prohibited the kids and their mother Susanne from leaving the apartment except for a few strictly monitored trips on the "nefarious" streets.


title: The Wolfpack

text: Everything changed for them when 15-year-old Mukunda decided to walk around the neighborhood in January 2010, against their father's instruction to remain inside. All the brothers then decided to begin exploring Manhattan and the world outside.


title: The Wolfpack

text: In 2010, Crystal Moselle, then a graduate of New York's School of Visual Arts, chanced upon a striking group of six siblings while walking down First Avenue in Manhattan. The six male siblings, who were then between 11 and 18 years old, wore black Ray-Ban sunglasses reminiscent of "Reservoir Dogs" and had waist-long hair. Moselle became friends with them and later found out that they had been confined to their Manhattan apartment for 14 years; that they had learned about the world by watching movies; and that most, if not all, social situations were new to them. They bonded quickly with Moselle because of their shared love of films.

title: The Wolfpack

text: Jordan Hoffman of "The Guardian" gave the film a five-star review and compared it to "Grey Gardens", saying, "Not since "Grey Gardens" has a film invited us into such a strange, barely-functioning home and allowed us to gawk without reservation." Scott Foundas of "Variety" also gave the film a positive review: "There is much to enjoy in director Crystal Moselle's debut documentary feature, which if nothing else begs a where-are-they-now sequel a few years down the road." Jordan Raup of "The Film Stage" in his review said that "The Wolfpack is an endlessly fascinating documentary, but it’s not quite a great one." Eric Kohn in his review for Indiewire graded the film B+ and said that "Crystal Moselle's portrait of teens trapped in an apartment for most of their lives is filled with compelling mysteries."


title: The Wolfpack

text: However, John DeFore of "The Hollywood Reporter" criticized the film, saying, "This debut doc doesn't quite make the most of fascinating and likeable subjects." Kate Erbland of The Playlist said that 'The Wolfpack' is a film about access, and though we are admitted into the world of the eponymous Wolfpack, not understanding how we got there robs the film of compelling commentary." Paul Byrne, while conceding that Wolfpack is 'a confronting and confounding true story', writes; "Some of the boys were barely teenagers when Moselle started to film, too young to give consent. The sister is mentally handicapped, so incapable of consent. The father might be mentally ill – another problem of consent...The question then becomes how much [Moselle's] presence changes what we see." Steve Thomas of "The Conversation" points to "ethical questions surrounding The Wolfpack", saying; "truth is that whilst filmmakers can cite signed release forms to justify their actions, these are just pieces of paper. Consent in longitudinal documentary projects (which follow people over a long period of time) is an ongoing process."

Later that day, the league added a former Arena Football League team, the Jacksonville Sharks. On November 30, the league added the Monterrey Steel from Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, becoming the first American indoor/arena league to house a Mexican team as well as the first in fifteen years to house a team from outside the United States. In order to satisfy the Sharks' contract with their arena, they were given eight home games in the 12-game season. To balance the uneven scheduling, the Corpus Christi Rage and Dayton Wolfpack each only were given five home games while the other five teams each had six. This was changed again when the Wolfpack apparently never were able to secure an arena lease, despite announcing they would play at the Nutter Center and signed players were reporting on social media that all players had been cut. As of February 20, 2017, all Wolfpack home games were cancelled. During the season, the league took over operations of the Firebirds, Rage, and Wolfpack.

The Monterrey Steel could not commit for 2018 citing the 2017 Central Mexico earthquake. The Georgia Firebirds could not commit due to an ownership transition, but failed to obtain an arena lease. Despite the initially announced August 15 deadline, the next confirmed expansion team was announced in November as the Massachusetts Pirates based out of Worcester, Massachusetts. In the expansion announcement, the league also mentioned adding teams in Greensboro, North Carolina, and Portland, Maine, but no mention of the other previously conditionally approved teams in Boston, Providence, or Orlando.

Prior to the 2019 season, Sharks' majority owner and NAL expansion chairman Jeff Bouchy resigned and sold his interest in the team to the other owners on March 11, 2019. The Sharks won the 2019 NAL championship.


title: National Arena League

text: Following the season, the NAL announced it had partnered with Champions Indoor Football (CIF) to create a new league for the 2020 season under a new identity with two conferences: the CIF and NAL. The Massachusetts Pirates chose to not join the merged league and the New York Streets were not mentioned as an included team. However, it was announced on October 10 that the deal had been postponed, with both leagues playing their own individual schedules in 2020. The Pirates rejoined the NAL and the league then added two teams that had originally been given conditional approval to join in the 2018 season, the Jersey Flight and the West Virginia Roughriders (then known as the Richmond Roughriders), from the American Arena League. As with almost all other sports leagues, the NAL suspended operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, with intention to hold the season once social distancing mandates were lifted and it was safe to do so. The season was fully cancelled by June 12, 2020.

The Louisville and Tampa Bay organizations left the league three months after being added, and the West Virginia Roughriders opted to go dormant for 2021 while the owner was trying to sell the team. Louisville instead joined the IFL. The start of the 2021 season was delayed to at least May 2021 due to the ongoing restrictions in the pandemic. One week before the start of the 2021 season, the Ontario Bandits went dormant.

In October 2021, the Roughriders stated they will not return to the NAL during a dispute with the league contract, but were then in discussions with selling the team to the ownership group led by Ron Trideco to keep the team in the NAL. On November 11, the league announced the San Antonio Gunslingers as an expansion team after playing their inaugural 2021 season in the AAL. The Roughriders, Ontario Bandits, and Jersey Flight were eventually removed from the list of 2022 NAL teams and were not included in the schedule.

text: Keiichi Yamada was born in Hiroshima on November 30, 1964. He was an amateur wrestler during his high school years. In his senior year, he lost to Toshiaki Kawada in the finals of a national championship tournament. After graduating high school in the early 1980s, he would apply to New Japan Pro-Wrestling's (NJPW) dojo in the hope of becoming a professional wrestler. He was not accepted because he did not meet the height requirements the dojo had at that time. Yamada, determined not to give up his dream of becoming a professional wrestler, left for Mexico and began his training there. By his own account, he was almost starving while studying in Mexico, due to this NJPW officials who were visiting took pity on him and asked him to come back to Japan to train in their dojo. In the NJPW dojo, he trained alongside the likes of Keiji Mutoh, Masahiro Chono and Shinya Hashimoto. While continuing his training, he had his debut match in March 1984 at the age of 19, wrestling against Shunji Kosugi. He began studying various martial arts styles because he wanted to add something new and different to his wrestling style, which is how he learned his "Abisegeri" kick. In 1985, Yamada participated in the Young Lion Cup and got to the final of the tournament before being defeated by Shunji Kosugi. In the beginning of 1986, Yamada participated in the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship League but lost to Black Tiger. Yamada won the 1986 Young Lion Cup by defeating Tatsutoshi Goto in the tournament final on March 26. On July 19, 1986, Yamada faced Nobuhiko Takada in a losing effort in his first of many IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship matches.
