Independent radio indicates a radio station that is run in a manner different from usual for the country it broadcasts in. In countries where there exist government-run stations that served as the primary or only the variety of licensed broadcaster, the term independent radio generally means commercial radio stations which are not operated by the government, and thus independent of the government. Conversely, in places such as the United States, where commercial broadcasters are the norm, independent radio is sometimes used to refer to non-commercial stations that are primarily supported by listener contributions and are thus independent of commercial concerns. With the advent of large commercial radio companies, and the general adoption of the term public radio in the United States to refer to non-religious-oriented listener-supported stations, the term has also been used to refer to commercial stations that are run independently of the large radio conglomerates.
Brocton F.C. are a football (soccer) club founded in Brocton, near Stafford, England, but currently playing in Heath Hayes, near Brownhills, Staffordshire. Currently they are members of the Midland Football Combination Premier Division.

Brocton F.C. was founded in 1937 by the owner of a local pub and enjoyed great success over the next four decades in the local Rugeley & District League and Cannock Chase League. Following this they stepped up to the Staffordshire County League (South), where they were Premier Division runners-up in 1985–86.
Following their local success the club stepped up to the Staffordshire Senior League in 1991. In 1994 this league was renamed the Midland League where league success eluded the team but they were able to win a number of cups. In 2003, following a switch to a ground with better facilities, the club applied to join the Midland Combination and were accepted, being placed in the Premier Division, where they play to this day.
Currently Brocton share the ground of fellow Midland Combination team Heath Hayes. They originally played at the Chetwynd Arms Ground in Brocton but had to move to the Rowley Park Stadium in Stafford to meet the requirements of the Staffordshire Senior League. In 2002 they relocated once again to the Cannock Sports Stadium in Cannock but lost the use of this ground in 2004 due to local council bureaucracy.
In 2006 the club took over the lease of the derelict Old Police Sports Ground in Stafford and hope to raise sufficient funds to enable them to commence playing at the ground in the 2007–08 season.
The Internal Family Systems Model (IFS) is an integrative approach to psychotherapy, relationship counseling, and family therapy developed by Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D. It combines systems thinking and multiplicity of the mind, and applies the theories of family therapy to the intrapsychic world of subpersonalities.
About the Internal Family Systems Model
Happoshu (発泡酒 happōshu lit. “sparkling spirits”), or low-malt beer, is a tax category of Japanese liquor that most often refers to a beer-like beverage with less than 67% malt content. The alcoholic beverage is popular among consumers for having a lower tax than beverages that the nation’s law classifies as “beer.” Although the happoshu label is most frequently found on low-malt beer or beer-like products, alcopops that contain malt are also categorized as happoshu.
Japan’s alcohol tax system divides beer-like malt beverages into four categories based on malt content: 67% or higher, 50 to 67%, 25 to 50%, and less than 25%. An alcoholic beverage based on malt is classified as beer if the weight of malt extract exceeds 67% of the fermentable ingredients. Since Suntory’s introduction in 1994 of Hop’s Draft, containing 65% malt, a market has emerged for low-malt, and recently, non-malt beer substitutes.
With alcohol tax revenues decreasing as a result of happoshu’s popularity, the Japanese government eventually raised the nation’s tax on low malt beers. In 1996, the tax for products containing 50 to 67% malt was raised to that of beer. Brewers followed suit by lowering the malt content of their products. Today, most happoshu contains less than 25% malt, putting it in the lowest tax category of low-malt beer. In recent years, Japanese brewers have released dozens of brands in attempt to increase their market share. Many of these are marketed as more healthy products, with reduced carbohydrates and purines. Another trend is to use unmalted barley, such as in Sapporo’s Mugi 100% Nama-shibori.
Recently beer-flavored beverages collectively dubbed “the third beer” by the mass media have been developed to compete with happoshu. These alcoholic products fall under categories not yet as highly taxed. The third beer beverages either use malt alternatives, or they are a mix of happoshu and another type of alcohol. When comparing 350 ml cans, the third beer brands can be 10 to 25 yen cheaper than happoshu.
* “Dry beer” refers to beers with less residual sugars and a dry taste.
“Nama beer” generally refers to unpasteurized draught beer usually served from a pressurized keg. However, in the above brands, it is merely a marketing term; compare to Miller Genuine Draft.
The Tonga Trench is located in the Pacific Ocean and is 10,882 meters (35,702 ft) deep at its deepest point, known as Horizon Deep.
The trench and its forearc form an active subduction zone between two plates of the lithosphere, the Pacific Plate being subducted below the Tonga Plate at the northeastern corner of the Australian Plate. The Tonga Trench extends north-northeast from the Kermadec Islands north of the North Island of New Zealand. The trench turns west north of the Tonga Plate and becomes a transform fault zone.
The convergence is taking place at a rate estimated at approximately 15 centimeters (6 in) per year (by Lonsdale, 1986); however, recent Global Positioning Satellite measurements indicate in places a convergence of 24 centimeters (10 in) per year across the northern Tonga Trench, which is the fastest plate velocity recorded on the planet (Bevis et al., 1995).
Such oceanic trenches are important sites for the formation of what will become continental crust and for recycling of material back into the mantle. Along the Tonga Trench mantle-derived melts are transferred to the island arc systems, and abyssal oceanic sediments and fragments of oceanic crust are collected.
The trench is the last resting place of the Radioisotope thermoelectric generator from the aborted Apollo 13 mission.
The Kermadec Trench, to the south, is basically an extension of the Tonga Trench.
On the television series seaQuest DSV, two episodes involve the trench: “Treasures of the Tonga Trench”, where Lieutenant Benjamin Krieg discovers an unusual glowing mineral within the trench, and “Splashdown”, where the seaQuest DSV 4600 is called to the trench (which they have nicknamed “The Christmas Tree Trench” due to the many branches) and is forcibly abducted from Earth by a massive alien starship.
Esky is an Australian brand of coolers manufactured by Nylex. The name is a reference to the association of Eskimos with cold climates.
The term has become a genericized trademark and as such is a colloquial term for any portable cooler. They are very popular at Australian barbecues, picnics and sporting events for keeping food and drinks cold.
Portable coolers were invented in Australia [1] and are now popular around the world.
The Esky was created by Malley’s, a Sydney refrigeration business. The construction is made up of two layers: Polypropylene on the outer shell, with a polyurethane inner layer. This makes it lightweight and portable with great insulation.
Originally the Esky had a steel outside shell.
In the United Kingdom the common name is a “cool-box”, in the United States they are usually called a “cooler” and in New Zealand a “chilly bin”.
There are a number of references to esky in Australian popular culture:
An accessory fruit, false fruit, spurious fruit, epigynous fruit or pseudocarp is a fruit where the fleshy part is derived not from the ovary but from some adjacent tissue.
An example is the apple. Other examples include cashew and ficus.
Accessory fruit includes false berries (e.g. the strawberry).
