La frontera entre Botswana i Zimbàbue és la línia fronterera de 813 kilòmetres en sentit Oest-Est, que separa Botswana de Zimbàbue a l'Àfrica Meridional.

Traçat
La línia de demarcació comença al nord de Botswana, al quatrifini Zàmbia-Zimbàbue- Botswana-Namíbia-Zàmbia-Botswana, al riu Zambezi després travessa la carretera Pandamatenga, bona part d'ella actualment zona protegida com el Parc Nacional Hwange fins al sud, seguint els marges del riu Shashi fins a la seva confluència amb el riu Limpopo, al trifini Sud-àfrica-Botswana-Sud-àfrica-Zimbàbwe. Separa els districtes de Botswana de Central, Chobe i Nord-Est de les províncies de Zimbàbue de Matabeleland Septentrional i Matabeleland Meridional.

Conflictes
Degut a la situació econòmica a Zimbàbue, molts dels seus habitants intenten emigrar a Botswana. El govern d'aquest país va construir en 2003 a la frontera una tanca metàl·lica electrificada de 2,5 metres d'alt i 500 kilòmetres de llarg, amb el pretext de lluitar contra la propagació d'una epidèmia de febre aftosa.

Peacekeeping/Stabilization and Conflict Transitions: Background and Congressional Action on the Civilian Response/Reserve Corps and Other Civilian Stabilization and Reconstruction Capabilities [March 4, 2011] [open pdf - 352KB]
"The 112th Congress may face a number of issues regarding the development of civilian capabilities to carry out stabilization and reconstruction activities. In September 2008, Congress passed the Reconstruction and Stabilization Civilian Management Act, 2008, as Title XVI of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (S. 3001, P.L. 110-417, signed into law October 14, 2008). This legislation codified the existence and functions of the State Department Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization (S/CRS) and authorized new operational capabilities within the State Department, a Civilian Response Corps (CRC) of government employees with an active and a standby component, and a reserve component. S/CRS slowly expanded, and the creation of the active and standby response components is in progress. Nevertheless, some members have argued for changes. [...] For FY2012, the Obama Administration requests $92.2 million for Conflict Stabilization Operations and $75 million for the USAID [United States Agency for International Development] Complex Crisis Fund. Its proposal for a new, joint State Department-Department of Defense (DOD) Global Security Contingency Fund, with $50 million contributed by each department and a DOD transfer authority of $450 million, may play into consideration of the request. The 112th Congress's consideration of the terms of future FY2011 funding, particularly if based on the FY2008 budget level, may affect the future of S/CRS and the CRC. The FY2008 funding was considerably below the FY2010-FY2011 level, and was appropriated as supplemental, not regular, appropriations. This report will be updated as events warrant."

The plains spadefoot is a small toadlike amphibian with large, protruding eyes. The pupils of the eyes are vertical and elliptical. The hind legs are short, and the underside of each hind foot has a distinct, wedge-shaped spade, hence its name. There may be some green on the sides, and the back and sides might have tiny reddish "warts." The small, irregular blotches on the back and legs are dark brown and may encircle the majority of their tiny warts. Call is an extended rasping or nasal "garvank" called at intervals of one-half to one second.
Similar species: The eastern spadefoot, which occurs in eastern counties along the Mississippi River and in southeastern Missouri, is distinguished by the absence of a raised area between the eyes and by having a sickle-shaped spade at the base of each hind foot.
Length (snout to vent): 1½ to 2 inches.
Audio of a Plains Spadefoot.
Primarily a species of the prairies and open floodplains of the Great Plains, in our state the plains spadefoot lives in the loose, sandy soils of the Missouri River floodplain. By day it hides in burrows in sandy soil. It becomes active at night, especially after heavy summer rains.
Earthworms and a variety of insects.
Missouri River floodplain from St. Louis to the northwestern corner of the state.
Often called spadefoot toads, spadefoots are not true toads, nor are they true frogs, either. They're named for a feature on the inner surface of their hind feet, a spadelike spur that helps them to dig their burrows.
Breeding is stimulated by warm, heavy rains. This species is an explosive breeder. Great numbers appear suddenly after a heavy late spring or summer rain. Breeding may be completed in a few nights, in temporary pools in flooded fields. A female can produce up to 2,000 eggs, which are usually attached to submerged plant material. The eggs may hatch in a few days. Hatching time and development rate vary with temperature, food supply, and the amount of oxygen in the water.
Spadefoots have a remarkable tolerance to desiccation (drying out). They may lose up to half of their water content and still survive. They also produce compounds in their blood that keep them from freezing in winter. Researching such marvels sometimes provides information that can improve human medicine.
A predator of insects, the plains spadefoot and a host of other small insectivores function to control the populations of the hosts of those creatures. Meanwhile, the frogs, and their own thousands of eggs and many tadpoles, are eaten by larger predators.


Come Saturday the 25th April, all those fans of Chardonnay and the $8.99 Echidna Shiraz from the local FoodWorks had something to look forward to. Hot Dub Wine Machine, cleverly coined from Tom Loud's Hot Dub Time Machine, is shaking the wine regions across Australia and this past Saturday, it was the Yarra Valley's turn – hosting 5'000+ plus of Melbourne's finest city slickers and country courters in the beautiful Rochford Wine Estate.
There's something about a day festival in the wine region that begs for a chartered bus, and rightly so. A group of eagerly tagged wine connoisseurs put on their finest lace and branded snapbacks and hop on a sea of white hearses (titled hearses, because most of the buses driving back to the city would be a stretch of the word).
Yet that's what we are here for; The Best. Chardy. Ever.
It was a day of fun and festivities, and as we come to the end of the summer festival circuit – we are still very much chasing the sun. The lineup of Confidence Man, Miami Horror, Pnau, Young Franco and of course, Hot Dub Time Machine, had me convinced. Shame the sun wasn't quite on the same page.
The venue was threatened endlessly by gloom hues of grey that hung directly above your head, omitting the odd shower to remind the crowds: let's drink to keep warm.
The double rainbow lifted spirits.
Confidence Man got the crowd enthused, and I was rather excited to see what they could do. Their hit 'Boyfriend' snuck onto the radar about 6 months ago and quickly snuck into my heart, sitting right up there in the same energy as Pnau themselves. They were a perfect taste of the line-up to come, confident electronic music interpreted in segues that question your limbs from staying still. Not always in the form of dance however.
Throughout the day, I found the beauty of this line-up is that you didn't have to spend tireless hours in the moshpit; you could sit on the bank with a picnic rug and have the beats on the tip of your earlobe while you enjoyed a Chardonnay with your newfound friends. (uh, hello? A festival that invites you to bring picnic rugs, GENIUS) It didn't demand your attention, which for this kind of festival, I think is foolproof.
Pnau and Young Franco of course impressed, Pnau making a triumphant return to the stage – whilst many of the crowd had not seen them live for quite some time, they reminded us as to why they are one of Australia's best electronic dance acts.
Alright, I'll say it. 'Chameleon' was indeed a standout. I hadn't forgotten. No Australian in the past 2 months has forgotten that song. Not even that girl you worked with at Coles when you were 14 has forgotten that song. I lost my rocks to that jam of ethno-positive energy – particularly when the vocals of Shakira Marshall were performed live and to perfection.
I mean, what a triumphant return to commercial radio.
Young Franco played a strong set to follow and kept the fire alive, paving strong beats and foundations for the time warp that is Hot Dub Wine Machine.
What an amazing set, absolutely alive with energy and synchronicity not rivalled of any other act on that stage. While the tracks are only mixes of famous hits from throughout the decades, the way they're handled, packaged, melded, burgeoned, play-doughed and delivered to the crowd is of utmost precision and absolute creativity. From Elvis to Rihanna, the 1960s to the 2010s, this set reminds everyone just how elating music can be – naturally powered by Chardonnay, Shiraz and Rosé (so the big screens said), it was an incredible way to end a beautiful day.
For those considering the Somerset and Swan Valley shows, I cannot recommend enough. Look at your glass of Shiraz, then look at your Spotify, look at yourself in the mirror, look at your Shiraz again – and buy a ticket. You won't regret it.
Score some final tickets here before they sell out!

A third of students are either considering starting a business, or already have one, new research from Santander Universities said. This equates to a total of 518,000 students, who generate £913 million every year, the report added.
However, it's not (just) money that motivates these people. Instead, they're more interested in pursuing a hobby, or personal interest (70 per cent). Financial gain is only placed second (58 per cent), right before work experience (26 per cent).
The average yearly turnover is £13,213, it was said, which is almost double, compared to a year before. The number of student entrepreneurs has also increased by more than a third (38 per cent), compared to 2015.
Almost half of entrepreneurs (46 per cent) expect an increase in turnover up to 50 per cent within the next five years, with another 10 per cent aiming high – at a 250 per cent increase.
"Student entrepreneurs are an important contributor to the UK economy and it's great to see an increase of over 30 per cent since last year. It's also encouraging that many plan to stick with their business as their main career after graduation when their potential to flourish will be vast," said Matt Hutnell, Director of Santander Universities UK.

Making a house or a building involves in a lot of art and hard work. Along with this it also required good craftsmanship and professional touch so that the completed house looks good and at the same time it defines durability to the people staying in the house. Even the offices needs to be made in such a way that it vows to provide a very welcoming look as there are hundreds of visitors every day. Roofs and floors play a very important role when a house or a building it concerned.
The floor often gets neglected as people are sure of its strong behaviour. People know no matter how much weight one puts on the floor, it would stand strong in any situation. This reliability is very essential for a tension free living. Same happens when roofing is considered. Roof protects people from natural disasters and calamities. It also works as the main shelter for the people residing in the particular place. It ensures that the people inside stay warm in winters and cool in summers.
Flooring is of various types. There is a huge list of choice which includes in marble flooring, stone flooring, wooden flooring etc. most common type of flooring that people strive to opt for now- a- days is the hardwood flooring. The floors that are built with wooden material are extracted from the timbers from various trees. The timber is then processed with professional super- vision so as to make it look like a sheet made up of wood.
These sheets can then be installed in the house to make wooden flooring. Flooring dealers do their best to provide their customers with the most reliable and trendy looking floorings. One can visit the nearby flooring dealers to know more about the wooden flooring and their installation charges.

Barack Obama: A Good, Bad or Just Mediocre President?
September 6, 2015 Topic: Politics Region: United States Tags: PresidencyObamaBarack Obama
The 2016 election—and history—provides clear methods to grade our current president's performance. How will he stack up?
by Robert W. Merry
If presidential elections are largely referendums on the White House incumbent or incumbent party, as I have argued in these spaces and in my most recent book, Where They Stand, then the man who will exercise the greatest impact on the outcome of next year's general election is President Obama. If his second term is adjudged by the American people to have been successful, then Democrats likely will retain the White House; if not, they won't.
Under this analytical thesis—which, I acknowledge, raises skepticism among some political scientists, political journalists and political professionals (but they're wrong)—presidential elections don't turn on frivolous matters such as candidate gaffes, clever slogans or negative ads. Rather, the electorate operates on a higher plane, sorting out the unimportant debris of campaigns and rendering decisions based mostly on more fundamental questions of national direction and the performance of the incumbent (or incumbent party). In other words, there is a collective judgment in the electorate that emerges at the end of campaigns and brings a certain logic to the process.
That logic turns on serious matters of governance—the state of the economy, the position of America in the world, the degree of presidential initiative, and the like. The most serious lapses that, in combination, bring down presidents or parties in power are these: a sputtering economy and lack of per capita income growth; lack of any serious and successful initiative in domestic affairs; lack of any serious accomplishment in foreign relations; a serious foreign affairs fiasco; serious scandal that reaches the upper levels of government; and sustained civic unrest that leads to blood in the streets.
These tests are explored by Allan J. Lichtman and Ken DeCell in their book, The 13 Keys to the Presidency. The authors also note that, when parties in power lose House seats from a baseline of the previous midterm elections, that tends to erode their standing as well.
Assessing Obama's second term through the prism of these tests, we can say that he is challenged on a number of them. The economy isn't sputtering currently (though that could happen before November 2016), but per capita income has declined on his watch. It's difficult to argue he has brought about any significant domestic accomplishment, in the nature of Lyndon Johnson's Civil Rights legislation or Ronald Reagan's new-direction tax policies. One can argue, and Obama supporters often do, that it wasn't his fault; the Republican Congress just wouldn't play ball with him. But voters don't parse these questions in such ways. For them, it's no excuses; he either produced accomplishments or he didn't. Obama didn't.
On the matter of a significant foreign policy triumph, there's no question that the Iran nuclear deal represents such an accomplishment, assuming that he gets it through Congress (as appears likely). Many would argue that it is a terrible deal and he shouldn't get any political capital out of it. But, again, that's not how our system works. The deal represents a major new direction in foreign affairs, and a difficult one to bring off, and the collective electorate takes note of such things. Thus, a net plus.
What about a serious foreign policy defeat or fiasco. There's no question that the rise of ISIS represents such a development. The 9/11 terrorist attack on America demonstrated that Islamist radicalism represents a serious national threat, and that threat became substantially more dangerous on Obama's watch. That gets charged to him. The irony is that he didn't support George W. Bush's Iraq invasion in part because he didn't think that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was part of the Islamist threat. He was right. And there's no doubt that the civic chaos unleashed by that invasion contributed to the ISIS emergence.
But the American people already expressed themselves on that matter—by voting against the GOP candidate in the 2008 presidential referendum and by voting in Obama. But Obama took his eye off the ball when he concluded that the challenge represented by 9/11 had dissipated significantly. Now it's a mess, and it's his mess.
Scandal? There has been no serious scandal on the Obama watch. It's possible, perhaps, that Hillary Clinton's email imbroglio could explode into a full-fledged scandal, with indictments and immunity deals and plea agreements. If so, it will redound to the detriment of the incumbent party. But there's no particular reason to believe this matter will rise to such a magnitude, and thus it appears that the Obama administration will pass the scandal test without ambiguity. The same with sustained civil unrest, which has not reached a level during the Obama term of political significance. On the other hand, Obama's party lost five House seats in the four years following the 2010 midterm elections—signifying, according to the Lichtman-DeCell formula, a net negative in this test.
Other Lichtman-DeCell keys include non-performance questions such as whether there is a serious contest for the incumbent-party nomination; whether the incumbent-party nominee is charismatic or a national hero, and same with the challenging nominee; whether the incumbent-party candidate is the sitting president (a small advantage for incumbency); and whether there is a significant third-party or independent campaign. Taking them all together and applying them to Obama's second-term (thus far), it appears that any Democratic nominee is going to be severely challenged next year in holding on to the presidency.
But what about history? How are historians likely to judge Obama over time? Well, we're not history, so we should be a bit circumspect here. But there are patterns of historical assessment that might enlighten us on this question. First, it should be noted that history judges presidents differently from the electorate. Voters make their assessments in four-year increments. That is, after all, their job—to assess the performance of each term and ask the question: Is this president, or this incumbent party, eligible for rehire based on the past four years?
History, on the other hand, assesses presidents based on their full tenures. Further, history makes judgments on the implications of actions that perhaps didn't cause problems before the next election but proved problematic in the long term. History's judgments are more finely tuned, more nuanced, broader in scope. The voters, for example, didn't care about Reagan's budget deficits when they reelected him overwhelmingly in highly prosperous times. But history is more inclined to take such things into account and render harsh judgments.
If we break the assessment into broad categories, this might be a reasonable stab at a prediction of history's judgment:
Economic policy:
Mediocre. While recent news does show job growth up and the unemployment rate down, Obama presided over a long economic recovery that never generated serious growth or, for the greatest part of that time, abundant jobs with strong wages. History seldom confers great or near-great status upon presidents who can't produce prosperity, which requires substantial and sustained economic growth. Obama never fashioned an economic program that could accomplish that.
Relations with Congress:
Abysmal. Successful presidents, the ones favored by history, find ways to get what they want from Congress. Usually this requires a panoply of techniques—cajolery, back-slapping, horse-trading, favors, threats, friendly outreach, little jabs of revenge, and much more. But the biggest requirement for any president in dealing with Congress is getting the American people behind him. That means crafting an agenda that stirs voter interest and support. Obama failed there. When the voters got their first chance to pass judgment on his leadership, they kicked sixty-three Democrats out of the House, and six out of the Senate. That shows that the president failed to get an electoral coalescence behind his program, which means in turn that it was not a well-conceived program. That failure has menaced his presidency ever since.
Domestic policy:
Middling. As noted above, his second term has produced no serious domestic initiative of the kind that buoys a president's standing in history. His first term produced the Affordable Care Act, which was a major achievement but remains highly unpopular. Perhaps more significantly, the president's method of pushing it through Congress—on a strictly partisan vote—probably doomed his chances of bringing to it wide national support within the near future. In the meantime, he has made no effort to address the country's growing entitlement problem or the ominous debt overhang.
Foreign Affairs:
Incoherent. The president, to his credit, sought to move the country away from the aggressive and arrogant George W. Bush foreign policy that wreaked so much havoc in the Middle East. The more important question is whether the world is safer and more stable than when he took office. Unfortunately, the answer is no.
The Middle East has been unraveling throughout his presidency. Relations with Russia have deteriorated. He announced a renewed concentration on Asia, but there has been little to show for it, and China seems bent on gutting America's decades-long dominance in the region. There doesn't seem to be a consistent principle guiding the country on when and whether to intervene in places such as Libya and Syria.

Resolutie 1277 van de Veiligheidsraad van de Verenigde Naties werd op 30 november 1999 met veertien stemmen voor en een onthouding van Rusland aangenomen door de VN-Veiligheidsraad. De resolutie verlengde de MIPONUH-politiemissie in Haïti met drieënhalve maand.

Achtergrond
Na decennia onder dictatoriaal bewind won Jean-Bertrand Aristide in december 1990 de verkiezingen in Haïti. In september 1991 werd hij met een staatsgreep verdreven. Nieuwe verkiezingen werden door de internationale gemeenschap afgeblokt waarna het land in de chaos verzonk. Na Amerikaanse bemiddeling werd Aristide in 1994 in functie hersteld.

Inhoud

Waarnemingen
Haïti vroeg de Verenigde Naties een Internationale Civiele Ondersteuningsmissie op te richten in het land. Voordien hadden de politiemissie MIPONUH en andere VN-programma's in belangrijke mate bijgedragen aan de professionalisering van Haïti's politie en de ontwikkeling van de justitie en nationale instellingen.

Handelingen
De Veiligheidsraad besloot de MIPONUH-missie voort te zetten tot 15 maart 2000, om de missie gefaseerd te laten overgaan in de Internationale Civiele Ondersteuningsmissie MICAH. Secretaris-generaal Kofi Annan werd gevraagd die overgang te coördineren en tegen 1 maart 2000 te rapporteren.

CAP AND I-CAP: Some Background and Tips from John Lund
The Calibre team sat down with Dr. John Lund, former Director of the Office of Labor Management Standards to find out more about two important Department of Labor (DOL) programs that labor union financial administrators should know about: CAP and I-CAP.
After beginning his career as a union representative, Lund joined the faculty of the University of Wisconsin's School for Workers in 1985 where his teaching, research, and outreach work dealt extensively with union financial management and he authored numerous scholarly papers on the subject and wrote "Auditing Local Union Financial Records" published by Cornell ILR press and now in its second edition. In early 2009, he was appointed by President Obama to serve as Director of the Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) and served until 2013, when he was appointed Regional Representative for the Pacific Northwest and Great Plains states by Labor Secretary Tom Perez. Today, Lund is principal of Pacific Northwest Labor Research LLC, a Seattle area consultancy working with local, intermediate, and international unions.
What are CAP and I-CAP and what's the difference between these programs?
The Compliance Audit Program (CAP) and International Compliance Audit Program (I-CAP) are related audit programs developed by OLMS to assess compliance with key aspects of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) or the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA). I-CAP focuses on national and international unions whereas CAP is directed at local and intermediate unions.
How are unions selected for audits?
OLMS considers a variety of factors when selecting a national or IU for an audit, including size, geographic location, length of time since the last audit, and the availability of OLMS personnel resources. OLMS may also conduct an audit based on a complaint from member(s), or when it appears necessary to determine whether any person has violated or is about to violate provisions of LMDA or CSRA. International unions subjected to I-CAP audits may be reaudited if significant problems are noted on the original audit.
What can a union expect when they are selected for an I-CAP or CAP audit?
Notification of selection is generally through a phone call for CAP audits and in writing for national/international unions. I-CAP notification is usually followed by a written questionnaire regarding financial practices, policies and procedures, and a request for the national/international union's electronic general ledger. CAP notification usually includes a brief questionnaire, which is followed by an opening conference with OLMS and union staff/officers. A variety of additional financial records may be requested and examined. If the union has an office where the records are located, OLMS will review the records on-site. For smaller local unions without an office, OLMS will normally take the records back to their office for review.
What happens when OLMS has completed the audit?
Generally, OLMS will conduct a closing conference with union staff/officers at the conclusion of the I-CAP or CAP at which time its findings and recommendations will be reviewed, and compliance assistance tips offered. Following the closing conference, the union is sent a copy of the closing letter and a copy of that letter is posted on the OLMS website.
How can we prepare for the I-CAP audit?
Carefully review and apply the OLMS Compliance Tip "Form LM-2 Common Reporting Errors" (https://www.dol.gov/olms/regs/compliance/catips/CompTip_LM2ReportingErrors_2015.pdf) and "Form LM-3 Common Reporting Errors" (https://www.dol.gov/olms/regs/compliance/catips/CompTip_LM3CommonReportingErrors_2018.pdf). Even though LM-2 and -3 forms are filed electronically, not all reporting errors are corrected by the filing software.
Use the OLMS bonding worksheet (https://www.dol.gov/olms/regs/compliance/bondappA.htm) to make sure you are correctly bonded and reporting the correct bonding amount on your LM report.
Carefully review and apply the OLMS Compliance Tips on recordkeeping, travel policy, credit card use, etc. (https://www.dol.gov/olms/regs/compliance/catips to your own policies and procedures).
For more information about CAPs and I-CAPs, visit the OLMS website at https://www.dol.gov/olms/regs/compliance/CAP_FAQs.htm (CAPS) and https://www.dol.gov/olms/regs/compliance/ICAP_FAQs.htm (I-CAPs). Copies of all closing letters can be found on these web pages as well.

Syracuse 5 - Villanova 4: The Cardiac Citrus Ride On
By Sean Keeley@SeanKeeleyIsMe Mar 28, 2011, 9:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Syracuse 5 - Villanova 4: The Cardiac Citrus Ride On
via media.syracuse.com
If this keeps up, the Syracuse lacrosse team is going to accomplish a multitude of things this season.
1. They're going to set some kind of modern-day record for lowest-scoring regular season in history.
2. They're going to murder their entire fanbase.
3. They're going to win another National Title.
It ain't pretty. It ain't nice. It ain't terribly fun to watch. But it's a win. Such was the case Saturday when the Orange won their second-straight game by the score of 5-4, this time over Big East rival Villanova.
JoJo Marasco asked for and received the right to wear No. 22 for Syracuse this season. Saturday he officially earned the right, scoring the game-winning goal with 6.3 seconds to play. The goal not only saved the Orange's undefeated season but also helped erase the many turnovers and mistakes SU made during the game.
Watch the game-winning goal here.
Whereas Johns Hopkins stalled their way into overtime against the Orange, Villanova merely played their game while Syracuse kept sabotaging itself over and over. Taking a page from the Syracuse basketball team, this Orange squad has 19 turnovers on the day.
While Marasco gets the glory, it was Jovan Miller who set No. 22 up for the game-winner.
But after 59:45 of offensive frustration, Miller took his chance with 15 seconds left. He juked on Villanova's Mike Brennan and got his hands free enough for a quick feed to Marasco. The sophomore caught and fired on net to suck the wind out of the Wildcats' sails and send Syracuse home with a win.
Miller also added a goal. Marasaco had two goals while Stephen Keogh and Kevin Drew added one apiece.
It was the Syracuse defense that really won the game for the Orange.
For the second consecutive game, SU's defensive unit was left with the responsibility of holding the lead at all costs. In its last game against Johns Hopkins, the defense held the Blue Jays in check for four quarters and two overtimes. Against the Wildcats, it had to hold its opponent again. The Orange simply couldn't find the back of the net. As the SU scorers have gone into a mini slump, the defense has kept the Orange's winning streak alive.
Villanova couldn't find the back of the net, either. The Syracuse defense held the Wildcats scoreless for a 36:22 stretch that spanned the second and fourth quarters. The Orange also forced 23 turnovers.
John Galloway, who was great with 11 saves, tied Princeton goalie Scott Bacigalupo as the NCAA Division all-time career wins leader with 51 victories. He'll look to break that record against defending National Champion Duke on April 3rd in the Big City Classic.
Kudos to Villanova for playing a good game. While we don't want them beating us anytime soon, we want the Big East to keep improving around us. Clearly, Nova is moving in the right direction.
The Orange need to sort out their offensive issues in order to match the defense. Do that and they can beat anyone. They're doing that already, but barely. It'd be nice to win one running away for once. Not that the schedule provides too many opportunities to do so.

Watford Football Club is an English professional football club based in Watford, Hertfordshire. They play in the EFL Championship, the second tier of the English football league system.

The club's original foundation is 1881, aligned with that of its antecedent, Watford Rovers, and was established as Watford Football Club in 1898. After finishing the 1914–15 season as Southern League champions under the management of Harry Kent, Watford joined the Football League in 1920. The team played at several grounds in their early history, including what is now West Herts Sports Club, before moving to Vicarage Road in 1922. They have a long-standing rivalry with nearby club Luton Town.

Graham Taylor's tenure as manager at the club between 1977 and 1987 saw Watford rise from the fourth tier to the first. The team finished second in the First Division in 1982–83, competed in the UEFA Cup in 1983–84, and reached the 1984 FA Cup Final. Watford declined between 1987 and 1997, before Taylor returned as manager, leading the team to successive promotions from the renamed Second Division to the Premier League for one season in 1999–2000. The club played again in the highest tier in 2006–07 under Aidy Boothroyd's management, and then again from 2015 to 2020, reaching the 2019 FA Cup Final, their second FA Cup final, but losing to a record-equalling 6–0 score line. In April 2021, Watford were promoted back into the Premier League having spent just one season in the Championship, but were relegated back to the Championship in May 2022.

History

Early years
The origins of the club can be traced back to 1881 when Watford Rovers were formed by Henry Grover, who went on to play for the club as a full back. Rovers, originally composed entirely of amateur players, held home games at several locations in the town of Watford. The team first competed in the FA Cup in the 1886–87 season, and in 1889 Watford won the County Cup for the first time. The team became the football section of "West Hertfordshire Club and Ground" in 1891, and consequently moved to a ground on Cassio Road. In 1893 Watford Rovers changed their name to "West Herts"  and in 1896 they joined the Southern Football League.  West Herts fortunes slumped at the start of the 1897–98 season and attendances were less than 200.  They took the bold step of turning professional and their fortunes revived.  Watford St. Mary's were runners up in the Hertfordshire Senior Cup of 1894–95 and attracted crowds of 400 to 500 even when West Herts were at home. The two clubs talked of an amalgamation, which ultimately occurred on 15 April 1898. This was reported by the Watford Observer of 7 May 1898.  It was agreed that the two clubs should complete their remaining fixtures for the season. The new club was named Watford Football Club.

Following relegation to the Southern League Second Division in 1903, Watford appointed its first manager – former England international and First Division top scorer John Goodall. He led Watford to promotion, and kept the team in the division until his departure in 1910. Despite financial constraints, Watford won the Southern League title in the 1914–15 season under his successor, Harry Kent. Watford held the title for five years following the suspension of the Southern League during the First World War – after finishing the 1919–20 season runners-up on goal average, the club resigned from the Southern League to join the new Football League Third Division.

From 1921–22, the third tier of The Football League consisted of two parallel sections of 22 clubs, fighting both for promotion to the Second Division and also battling to hold on to their league status. There was a re-election system in place which meant the bottom two teams in each of the two divisions had to apply for re-election to the league. Watford finished outside the top six league positions in every season between 1922 and 1934. Following Kent's departure in 1926, they finished 21st out of 22 clubs in 1926–27, but were unanimously re-elected to the league after a ballot of clubs in the top two divisions of The Football League. By contrast, under Neil McBain and subsequently Bill Findlay, the team recorded five consecutive top six finishes between 1934–35 and 1938–39, and won the Football League Third Division South Cup in 1937. The Football League was suspended in 1939 due to the Second World War.

Post-war era
Football resumed in 1946, with Watford still in the Third Division South. A 23rd-placed finish in 1950–51 meant that the club had to apply for re-election to the league once more, but again teams in the First and Second Divisions unanimously voted for Watford to stay in the league. McBain returned in 1956, and the team remained in the division until 1958; the league was restructured into four national divisions for the 1958–59 season, and Watford were placed in the Fourth Division. Ron Burgess replaced McBain during that season, and in the following campaign Burgess presided over Watford's first Football League promotion. This team included Fourth Division top scorer Cliff Holton, who scored a club record 42 league goals in the season. Holton was sold to Northampton the following year after another 34 goals, to the anger of supporters. Burgess was succeeded by Bill McGarry, who bought new players such as Charlie Livesey and Ron Saunders, and in his only season at the club led the club to what was at the time its highest ever league position: third in the Third Division. Eighteen-year-old Northern Irish goalkeeper Pat Jennings also featured under McGarry, and made his international debut despite being a Third Division player.

McGarry joined Ipswich in 1964, and was replaced by player-manager Ken Furphy, from Workington Furphy rebuilt the team around players such as Keith Eddy and Dennis Bond, but after holding Liverpool to a draw in the FA Cup and narrowly failing to win promotion in 1966–67, Bond was sold to Tottenham Hotspur for £30,000, Watford's record transfer receipt at the time. Furphy's rebuilding came to fruition in 1969 with the signing of Barry Endean, whose arrival marked the start of an unbeaten run after Christmas. Watford secured the Third Division title in April, at home to Plymouth Argyle. A year later Watford reached the FA Cup semi-final for the first time, defeating First Division teams Stoke City and Liverpool along the way. Hampered by a lack of funds, however, Furphy eventually joined Blackburn Rovers, to be succeeded by George Kirby. Forced to sell players to survive, Watford fell back into the Third Division in 1972. The team continued to struggle in the third tier, and despite a managerial change, Watford were relegated again in 1975.

Elton John era
Lifelong Watford supporter Elton John became club chairman in 1976. The singer declared an ambition to take the team into the First Division, and sacked Kirby's successor Mike Keen in April 1977. When Graham Taylor was named as Keen's successor, the club was still in the Fourth Division. Taylor achieved promotion in his first season; Watford won the Fourth Division title, recording the most wins, fewest defeats, most goals scored and fewest goals conceded of any side in the division. Promotion to the Second Division followed in 1978–79, and Ross Jenkins finished the season as the league's top scorer with 29 goals. Watford consolidated with 18th and 9th-placed finishes over the following two seasons, and secured promotion to the First Division for the first time in 1981–82, finishing second behind rivals Luton Town.

Watford started the 1982–83 season with four league wins from the opening five fixtures; in the space of seven years, the club had climbed from bottom place in the lowest division of The Football League to top position in the highest division. Watford were unable to maintain a title challenge, but eventually finished the season second behind Liverpool, which ensured UEFA Cup qualification for the following season. Luther Blissett finished the season as the First Division top scorer, before signing for Italian Serie A side Milan for £1 million at the end of the season. An FA Cup Final appearance followed in the 1984 fixture, where they lost to Everton. After guiding Watford to a ninth-place finish in 1986–87, Taylor left the club to manage Aston Villa.

Following Taylor's departure, Wimbledon manager Dave Bassett was appointed as his replacement, and England winger John Barnes was sold to Liverpool. After 4 wins from his opening 23 league fixtures, Bassett was sacked in January 1988. Watford were bottom of the First Division at the time of his departure, and Steve Harrison could not prevent relegation at the end of the season. In 1988–89, Harrison's Watford failed to return to the First Division, after defeat in the Second Division play-offs. The under-18 team won the FA Youth Cup, beating Manchester City 2–1 after extra time, with future England international David James in goal for the Hornets. Harrison departed in 1990, and over the next few years, the closest Watford came to promotion was a seventh-placed finish in Division One in the 1994–95 season. However, in the following season – Glenn Roeder's third as manager – Watford struggled. Despite the return of Graham Taylor as caretaker manager in February 1996, the club was relegated to Division Two.

Following the relegation, Taylor became director of football, with former Watford midfielder Kenny Jackett as manager. After a mid-table finish in Division Two in 1996–97, Jackett was demoted to the position of assistant manager. Taylor returned as manager, and won the Second Division title in 1997–98 – Watford's second league title under his management. A second successive promotion followed in 1998–99, thanks to a 2–0 play-off final victory over Bolton Wanderers. Watford's first Premiership season started with an early victory over Liverpool, but Watford's form soon faded, and the club were relegated after finishing bottom. Graham Taylor retired at the end of the 2000–01 season, and was replaced by Gianluca Vialli. Wage bills at the club rose by £4 million during Vialli's tenure, and the club finished 14th in the division in 2001–02. Vialli was sacked at the end of the season, following a dispute with the club's board over the wage bill. He was replaced by Ray Lewington, who had joined the club the previous summer as Vialli's reserve team manager.

Financial struggles

Watford's weak financial position was exposed in 2002–03, following the collapse of ITV Digital. The club was facing administration, but an agreement by players and staff to a 12% wage deferral helped the club's cash flow, and a run to the FA Cup semi-final generated vital revenue. Financial constraints saw a large number of players released that summer. After consolidating in 2003–04, the following season started well, with the club in the upper half of the Championship at the end of September. Poor form, however, saw the club drop towards the relegation zone. Despite reaching the semi-final of the League Cup, Watford's league form did not improve, and Lewington was sacked in March 2005. His successor, Aidy Boothroyd, led the club to Championship survival.

Return to the Premier League
Watford finished third in the league in Boothroyd's first full season, and defeated Leeds United 3–0 in the play-off final to gain promotion to the Premier League. But the team did not record a Premier League win until November, and Ashley Young was sold to Aston Villa for a club record fee of £9.65 million in January 2007. Watford finished bottom after only winning five league games, but did reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Boothroyd continued as manager, and spent heavily on players, including a then-club record £3.25 million for Nathan Ellington. Watford led the Championship by several points early in 2007–08, but only finished sixth; Boothroyd's team were defeated 6–1 on aggregate by Hull City in the play-off semi-finals. Boothroyd left the club by mutual consent three months into the 2008–09 season, with Watford 21st in the Championship table.

Under Boothroyd's successor, Brendan Rodgers, Watford finished 13th. Rodgers left to manage Reading at the end of the season; Malky Mackay, who had previously served as caretaker manager, was his replacement. Amid the departures of several key players during Mackay's tenure, including Tommy Smith and Jay DeMerit, and the club coming close to administration, Watford finished 16th in 2009–10 and 14th the following season. Mackay left to manage Cardiff City in June 2011 and was replaced by Sean Dyche. Despite presiding over Watford's highest league position in four years by finishing 11th, Dyche was dismissed as Watford manager in July 2012.

Pozzo family era
In June 2012, Laurence Bassini completed the sale of the club to the Pozzo family (Gino Pozzo and his father). Following Dyche's sacking, the new owners brought in former Italy international Gianfranco Zola to take charge. In the 2012–13 season Watford finished third in the Championship, and reached the play-off final where they were defeated in the final by Crystal Palace 1–0 via an extra-time penalty by Kevin Phillips. The following season, Giuseppe Sannino replaced Zola, as their new manager and the team finished the season in 13th place. Sannino resigned at the start of the 2014–15 season and was replaced by Óscar García, who left shortly afterwards for "health reasons."

Billy McKinlay replaced him but, despite winning 4 points out of a possible 6 under his stewardship, after just eight days he too was replaced, by Slaviša Jokanović. With Jokanović managing the team, Watford finished second in the Championship, after being edged out on the final day by champions AFC Bournemouth, and were promoted.

Watford did not renew Jokanović's contract and he was replaced by the Spaniard Quique Sánchez Flores ahead of the 2015-16 season. Under Sánchez Flores Watford finished 13th in the Premier League, and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, ending Arsenal's bid to win the competition for three successive times, but were beaten 2-1 by Crystal Palace. Near the end of the season, in May 2016, Sánchez Flores and the club enacted a break clause in his contract, he and was replaced by Italian coach Walter Mazzarri who signed a three-year contract. At the end of the next season, in May 2017, Watford finished 17th and Mazzari resigned, replaced by Marco Silva. The new coach was sacked after approximately six months, in January 2018, and the club hired Javi Gracia. In April 2019 Watford came back from 2–0 down to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers to reach the FA Cup Final for the second time in their history, with Gerard Deulofeu scoring twice and Troy Deeney scoring a penalty in the 94th minute to take it to extra time. They met Manchester City in the Final and were defeated 6-0, a joint record margin of victory for an FA Cup Final. In the league Watford finished 11th, with 50 points, both club records for the Premier League era.

After four games of being in charge in the 2019–20 season, Gracia was sacked due to poor form in the league. 30 minutes after he was sacked, former manager Quique Sánchez Flores was again appointed. He survived only until 1 December 2019 after getting only one win since his appointment in September. A caretaker manager was appointed for one game before Nigel Pearson came into management.  Watford ended Liverpool's unbeaten run of 44 top-flight games in February 2020, but Pearson was sacked 2 games before the end of the season, and the club were relegated, finishing 19th out of 20. Watford finished the 2020-21 Championship season in second place, gaining immediate promotion back to the Premier League, but again finished the following season 19th out of 20 and were relegated back to the Championship.

Club identity

Watford's kit has changed considerably over the course of the club's history. The club's kit featured various combinations of red, green and yellow stripes, before a new colour scheme of black and white was adopted for the 1909–10 season. These colours were retained until the 1920s, when the club introduced an all-blue shirt. After a change of colours to gold shirts and black shorts for 1959–60, the team's nickname was changed to The Hornets, after a popular vote via the supporters club. These colours remained until 1976, when Watford's kits started featuring red, and the gold was changed to yellow. That colour scheme has continued into the 21st century.

Watford's initial nickname was The Brewers, in reference to the Benskins Brewery, which owned the freehold of Vicarage Road. This nickname did not prove particularly popular, and upon the adoption of a blue-and-white colour scheme in the 1920s, the club became predominantly known as The Blues. When Watford changed kit colours in 1959, supporters chose The Hornets as the team's new nickname, and the club later introduced a crest depicting a hornet. In 1974 the design was changed to depict Harry the Hornet, the club's mascot. The club's nickname remains, but in 1978 the hornet crest was replaced by a depiction of a hart – a male red fallow deer– on a yellow and black background. A hart represents the town's location in the county of Hertfordshire. Until Barnet and, later, Stevenage joined the Football League, Watford were Hertfordshire's only league club. Other nicknames have since been adopted, including Yellow Army and The 'Orns.

Until April 2019, when Watford played at Vicarage Road their players traditionally entered the pitch at the start of the game to the Z-Cars theme tune. However, in mid-April 2019 the team changed their entrance song to Elton John's "I'm Still Standing". The club returned to Z Cars as the theme to welcome players to the pitch in August 2019 at the start of the 2019–20 Premier League season, following fan pressure and petitions.

Stadium

Watford Rovers played at several grounds in the late 19th century, including Cassiobury Park, Vicarage Meadow and Market Street, Watford. In 1890, the team moved to a site on Cassio Road, and remained there for 32 years, before moving to Watford's current stadium at nearby Vicarage Road in 1922. The new stadium was initially owned by Benskins Brewery; the club rented the ground until 2001, when it purchased the freehold outright. However, the club's financial situation worsened following the purchase, and in 2002 Watford sold the ground for £6 million in a deal which entitled Watford to buy the stadium back for £7 million in future. Watford took up this option in 2004 using a campaign backed and funded by the fans called "Lets buy back the Vic".

Vicarage Road is a four-sided ground with a capacity of 21,577. The East Stand, part of which was constructed in 1922, was closed to the general public in 2008 for health and safety reasons, although it still hosted the dressing rooms and the matchday press area. In November 2013, the East Stand was demolished and in its place a new steel-framed, 3,500-seater stand was constructed. The stand opened fully on Boxing Day 2014 and was named The Elton John Stand after the club's longstanding chairman. The Graham Taylor Stand (previously the Rous Stand), built in 1986, has two tiers and runs the length of the pitch, with the upper section containing the club's corporate hospitality. At either end of the pitch, The Vicarage Road Stand is split between the club's family section and away supporters, while the Rookery Stand is for home supporters only. Both stands were built in the 1990s, financed by proceeds from player sales. In the summer of 2015, The Elton John Stand was revamped in order to accommodate an extra 700 seats. This number was revised a day later to around 1,000 extra seats following the announcement of an expansion in the north-east corner.

Between 1997 and early 2013, Watford shared Vicarage Road with rugby union side Saracens F.C. The stadium has hosted matches for the England under-21s, and senior international football between overseas teams. Elton John has also used Vicarage Road as a venue for concerts: He first played at the stadium in 1974 and returned in 2005 and 2010 to stage fundraising concerts for the club. Former events include horse and carriage shows and greyhound racing.

The Watford Training Ground is located on the University College London Union (UCLU) Shenley Sports grounds in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

Luton rivalry

Watford fans maintain a rivalry with those of Luton Town. The two sides met regularly in the Southern League between 1900 and 1920, and continued to do so in The Football League until 1937, when Luton gained promotion from Division Three South. Luton remained in a higher division than Watford until 1963.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Watford and Luton met sporadically. Despite this, the rivalry grew in significance, particularly following an ill-tempered match between the sides in 1969, in which three players were sent off. Both sides won promotion to the First Division in the 1981–82 season, with Luton taking the championship ahead of Watford. They were also relegated together from the new Division 1 in 1995–96, with Watford finishing 23rd ahead of bottom-placed Luton. Watford's promotion from Division 2 in 1997–98 meant that the two sides did not meet again until Luton won promotion to the Championship for the 2005–06 season. The only meeting between those seasons – a League Cup tie in the 2002–03 season – was marred by violence inside Vicarage Road.

On 2 January 2006, Watford won 2–1 at Kenilworth Road in the Championship, followed by a 1–1 draw between the sides, on 9 April 2006, a point that secured Watford's place in the 2006 Championship play-offs, from which they eventually won promotion to the Premier League for the second time, beating Leeds United, 3–0, at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

Over a fourteen-season span, Watford have played in a higher division than Luton between 2006–07 and the 2019–20 season, with Luton dropping out of the football league altogether for six seasons between 2009–10 and 2014–15.

The rivalry between the two clubs resumed in the 2020–21 season. On 26 September 2020, Watford won the first league match of the season between the two clubs, 1–0, at Vicarage Road. On 17 April 2021 in the reverse fixture at Kenilworth Road, Luton won, 1–0, so the spoils for the season were shared. With Watford's promotion back to the Premier League for season 2021–22, the rivalry did not commence that year; although it is set to resume for the 2022–23 season after Watford's immediate relegation from the Premier League, whilst Luton remained in the Championship.

The head-to-head record between the clubs, in competitions which currently exist, stands at Luton 39 wins, Watford 27 wins, with 23 draws. Watford have remained the higher ranked team at the end of every season since 1997 (and for 28 of the last 29 seasons, with only 1996–97 seeing Luton finish higher in the league than Watford) whilst Luton still have a many more years in a higher league throughout both teams history.

Managers

Watford's team was selected by committee until 1903, when former England international John Goodall was appointed player-manager. The impact was immediate, as Watford secured promotion to the Southern League First Division in 1903–04. Goodall retired as a player in 1907, and left the club in 1910. He was replaced by his former captain, Harry Kent, who become known for his financial management of the club; under Kent, Watford frequently made a profit in the transfer market. Kent led the club to the Southern League title in 1914–15, and missed out on a second title in 1919–20 on goal average, before resigning in 1926. His three immediate successors – Fred Pagnam, Neil McBain and Bill Findlay – all played for Watford before and during the early part of their managerial tenures. None were able to lead the team to promotion from the Third Division South, although Findlay did lead Watford to a Third Division South Cup win in 1937.

Up until Findlay's departure in 1947, Watford had been managed by five managers in 44 years, all of whom played for the team. By contrast, six men managed the club between 1947 and 1956, only two of whom were former Watford players. After a further three years under McBain between 1956 and 1959, Watford's following three managers presided over improved teams. Ron Burgess led Watford to promotion from the Fourth Division in 1959–60. Bill McGarry was only in charge for one full season (1963–64), but Watford recorded a finish of third in the Third Division, the club's highest Football League finish until that point. His successor Ken Furphy matched that achievement in 1966–67, and led Watford to the Third Division title in 1969, before taking the club to its first FA Cup semi-final in 1970. Following Furphy's departure in 1971, Watford entered a period of decline, experiencing relegation under subsequent managers George Kirby and Mike Keen.

Graham Taylor took charge of Watford in 1977. He led the club to promotion to the Third Division in 1978, the Second Division in 1979, and the First Division for the first time in Watford's history in 1982. After a second-placed finish in the First Division in 1983, Watford competed in European competition for the first time in 1983–84, as well as reaching the 1984 FA Cup final. Taylor left the club at the end of 1986–87. Under the six subsequent permanent managers (Dave Bassett, Steve Harrison, Colin Lee, Steve Perryman, Glenn Roeder and Kenny Jackett), Watford slid from 9th in the top tier in 1987, to 13th in the third tier in 1997. Taylor returned as manager for the start of the 1997–98 season. He led the club to consecutive promotions, but could not prevent relegation from the Premier League in 1999–2000. Since Taylor's retirement in 2001, Watford have had twelve managers. Of these, Aidy Boothroyd took Watford back to the Premier League in 2006, but Watford were relegated in 2007, and Boothroyd departed in 2008.

Following Watford's takeover by the Pozzo family, Gianfranco Zola was appointed head coach, replacing former centre back Sean Dyche in July 2012,. Zola took Watford to third position in the Championship in 2012–13 but resigned on 16 December 2013. He was replaced by fellow Italian Beppe Sannino in December 2013. Sannino guided the team to a final league position of 13th.

Despite winning four of the first five league matches of the 2014/15 season, and with Watford sitting in 2nd place, Sannino's position had become the subject of much speculation following rumours of dressing-room unrest and some players taking a dislike to his style of management. Sannino resigned from his position as head coach on 31 August 2014 after just over eight months in charge. His final game in charge was a 4–2 win at home to Huddersfield Town the day before.

Sannino's departure initiated a bizarre sequence of events which led to Watford having three further head coaches in little more than a month. On 2 September, Watford confirmed the appointment of former Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Óscar García as the successor to Sannino, beating off competition from fellow Championship side Leeds United for his services. García, however, resigned from his position on 29 September 2014 for health reasons, having been admitted to hospital with chest pains a couple of weeks prior. Billy McKinlay, who had only been appointed first team coach on 26 September 2014, was appointed as his immediate successor on the same day – his first position in management. A week later, McKinlay was released by mutual consent and former Partizan coach Slaviša Jokanović appointed in his place, apparently because the club favoured a head coach with greater experience.

On 4 June 2015, Quique Sánchez Flores was announced as the new head coach as the replacement to Jokanović, who had failed to agree contract terms. Despite going on to lead the newly promoted Watford to a comfortable mid-table position in the Premier League and the semi-final of the FA Cup, it was announced on 13 May 2016 that Sánchez Flores would be leaving the club at the end of the season.

Following Sánchez Flores's departure, Walter Mazzarri was announced as Watford's head coach starting on 1 July 2016.
Mazzari's tenure as manager was terminated at the end of the season.
On 27 May 2017 Marco Silva was appointed head coach.
On 21 January 2018, Javi Gracia was appointed as head coach following Silva's departure. Gracia has been met with widespread praise since his appointment after a successful 2018–19 Premier League campaign which saw Watford finish with their highest points tally ever in English Premier League football.
After a disappointing start to the 2019–20 season, Javi Gracia was sacked and replaced by previous manager Quique Sánchez Flores. Then Quique Sánchez Flores was fired again after a 2–1 loss to Southampton on 1 December. On 6 December 2019, Nigel Pearson agreed to take manager's job, with Craig Shakespeare as his assistant, on a short-term contract to the end of the season. He was sacked on 19 July 2020 with two games to go with Hayden Mullins appointed as interim coach until the end of the season.

In the 2020-21 season, there were two more coaches, beginning with Vladimir Ivic, and followed by Xisco Munoz, who ultimately steered Watford towards promotion to the Premier League. Xisco continued to coach the team for the 2021-22 Premier League campaign until October 2021, and was subsequently followed by Claudio Ranieri from October 2021 to January 2022. Former England manager Roy Hodgson took hold of the reigns from February 2022 until the season's end, where Watford finished in 19th place and were relegated from the Premier League.

Rob Edwards was announced as the new manager for the 2022-23 EFL Championship Season, but was released by the club in September 2022 after 11 games in charge. Slaven Bilić was announced as his replacement on an 18-month contract. Bilic was subsequently sacked on 7 March 2023 and replaced by Chris Wilder, making it the third time in four seasons the club has had three head coaches in one season.

Honours

Records

Striker Luther Blissett holds the record for Watford appearances, having played 503 matches in all competitions between 1976 and 1992, and his 415 appearances in The Football League during the same period is also a club record. Blissett holds the corresponding goalscoring records, with 186 career Watford goals, 148 of which were in the league. The records for the most league goals in a season is held by Cliff Holton, having scored 42 goals in the 1959–60 season. The highest number of goals scored by a player in a single game at a professional level is the six registered by Harry Barton against Wycombe Wanderers in September 1903.

Watford's biggest ever competitive win came in 1900, when the team defeated Maidenhead 11–0 in the Southern League Second Division. The team's biggest Football League winning margin is 8–0; this first occurred in a Third Division South match against Newport County in 1924, and was repeated in a First Division match against Sunderland in 1982. Both of these matches were at home – Watford have won an away league match by five goals on six occasions, most recently in the 6–1 win against Leeds United at Elland Road in 2012. The most goals scored in a Football League game involving Watford is 11, in Watford's 7–4 victories against Swindon Town, Torquay United and Burnley in 1934, 1937 and 2003 respectively.
The club's highest home attendance is 34,099, for a fourth round FA Cup match against Manchester United on 3 February 1969. The record home league attendance is 27,968 against Queens Park Rangers in August of the same year. Watford's home capacity has since been reduced due to all-seater requirements; it currently stands at 21,577.

Manchester developed from a Roman settlement, and relics of the Roman fort have been uncovered (north gate and a section of the perimeter wall). In the 18C, Castlefield was situated at the centre of a network of canals, the construction of which began with the Duke of Bridgewater's canal in 1761. The towpath, which is open to the public, is a nice place for a walk (3km), taking you along the River Irwell between Castlefield and Salford Quays.


…the largest event in the world for the oil and gas industry featuring more than 2,300 exhibitors, and attendees representing 100 countries.
Throughout the downturn, producers worked tirelessly to cut costs down to a bare minimum and look for innovative ways to churn out more oil from rock. And they managed to do just that by improving drilling techniques. With these efforts, many upstream companies have repositioned themselves to adapt to the new $50 oil reality and even thrive at those prices.
Beyond just the drilling side of the equation, efficiency gains were also made in ongoing production. In this 7:07 video, Downhole Monitoring, Emerson's Christopher Seckel described the importance of reliable downhole measurements in optimizing the production rates and life of the reservoir or hydraulically fractured shale zone. With advancements in measurement technologies, pressure, temperature and other sensors that used to be topside have been placed downhole for more immediate response to changing reservoir conditions.
By analyzing the data from this reservoir monitoring instrumentation, operators can maximize production and optimize the life the producing well, which allows them to drive down breakeven costs.
Chris noted some of the demanding downhole conditions the instrumentation is rated for, such as 225degC (430degF). These devices may be exposed to these conditions for more than a decade over the life of the well, especially in larger offshore reservoirs.
He also explained how wireless pressure and temperature sensing technologies allow devices to be placed behind the casing to monitor the integrity of the well. By being able to monitor in real-time, this changed the traditional practice of shutting in the well to perform these measurements on a periodic basis to look for integrity issues and comply with regulations.
Looking forward, Chris sees a continued shift to moving more sensing capability downhole to more quickly detect and correct abnormal conditions and optimize production. These devices, in combination with power and communications to the devices, provides a network to add additional sensing capability over time.
You can find Christopher and the other Emerson oil & gas industry team at OTC 2017 to discuss downhole measurements and other production optimization opportunities in Booth #4915 at the NRG Center. Sign up here for a free day pass into the OTC exhibits.

Share DUKE SPECIAL's EPK!
Blissfully at home in his own alluring genre of beautifully bruised romanticism, Duke Special inhabits a world unlike any other - a world filled with vaudeville-esque sensibility, sing-a-longs and addictive melodies
His immense creative talents have seen him involved in projects as diverse as writing the theme tune for Sesame Tree (the Northern Ireland edition of Sesame Street where he also got to sing with The Muppets) to writing the music for and appearing in Deborah Warner's critically acclaimed 2009 production of Bertolt Brecht's Mother Courage and Her Children at London's National Theatre. He then recorded an album of the twelve songs from the play, which was to form part of his ambitious project for 2010 - the release of a 3 CD box-set, The Stage, A Book & The Silver Screen.
More recently, he has presented a TV documentary for RTE in Ireland on the life and times of 50s megastar Ruby Murray, followed by 2 orchestral concerts of Duke's interpretations of Ruby's songs and the release of a charity single.
Another unusual project for Duke was a show commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for their exhibition on the photographers Stieglitz, Steichen, and Strand, which he performed in the Museum's Concert Hall in March. And while in the USA he also performed a series of concerts in fans' houses, as well as shows in Washington DC and Philadelphia.
Duke Special is a fervent performer who harks back to a pre-rock 'n' roll era, with dashes of Gershwin and orchestral swing, all tinged with a Northern Irish lilt and poetic lyrics that could feature in a modern-day fairytale; the perfect balance of old and new - boasting the appeal of a three-minute pop song with the incessant charm of an old-school music hall.
