Edward Joseph "Ted" Drake (16 August 1912 – 30 May 1995) was an English football player and manager. As a player, he first played for Southampton but made his name playing for Arsenal in the 1930s, winning two league titles and an FA Cup, as well as five caps for England. He was also a cricketer, but only ever played sparingly for Hampshire. After retiring from playing football, he became a manager, and while in charge of Chelsea he took the club to its first league title. Drake holds the record for the most goals scored in a top flight game in English football, scoring seven against Aston Villa in December 1935. He was a "classic number 9" on a football squad: "it was Arsenal's Ted Drake — strong, powerful, brave and almost entirely unthinking — who typified the English view."
Born in Southampton, Drake started playing at Winchester City, whilst continuing to work as a gas-meter reader. He nearly joined Tottenham Hotspur as a schoolboy, but missed the trial match with an injury. In June 1931, he was persuaded by George Kay to join Southampton, then playing in Division Two. He made his Saints debut on 14 November 1931 at Swansea Town, and signed as a professional in November, becoming first-choice centre-forward by the end of the 1931–32 season.

YUI + Accessibility: Welcome the whole world presented by Ted Drake & Sarbbottam This presentation highlights common accessibility issues in modern web applications and how YUI makes it easy to build accessible, dynamic applications. You will learn about ARIA, focus management, and keyboard accessibility. The presentation will show how the Yahoo registration form uses YUI and accessibility best practices to make sure everyone can enjoy Yahoo products. You will learn how YUI's node and focus management makes it easy to build sophisticated, accessible interactions.
The sheer size of the known Universe is staggering. Because of its immensity, we are constrained by the known laws of physics in a dilemma: although the possibilities in the Universe are nearly infinite, we can only hope to ever know a small portion. In his talk, Fred Crawford asks and explores the question: how many extraterrestrial civilizations exist that are capable of radio communication and are actively trying to do so? Fred Crawford has been teaching physics for the past thirty years, having taught in India, Thailand and Singapore. Although an American citizen, Fred was born and raised outside of the US. When not pondering physics, Fred likes to cook. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn...

Empathy; a driving force in furthering relationships, a skill, and how it can be improved over time. We thank our Buffalo Film Crew Marshall Ulger, Katie Kostelny, Brittany Sedor, and Shawn Combs! Myles Drake was born and raised in Grimsby, Ontario. Highly influenced by his uncles at a young age who were mechanics and auto workers, Myles began to tinker with dirt bikes. By age 15 he was full blown into competitive motocross racing, a sport which tends to wreak havoc on the body. After finding a local yoga class, he soon recovered his degenerating spinal discs and became qualified to instruct by travelling to India and obtaining certification. Motocross Racing inspired him to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in Automotive Engineering Technology from McMaster University, which he received in 2...

Thirdstory's talented trio of Elliott Skinner, Ben Lusher, and Richard Saunders perform: Grows Old, Searching For A Feeling and G Train. When asked to describe what kind of music they make, the three members of Thirdstory—Elliott Skinner, Ben Lusher, and Richard Saunders—all respond with a nervous laugh. Known for their sublime vocal harmonies and uncanny knack for reconfiguring the language of pop songs, the music that the trio creates together is fantastically genre defying. “That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it?” laughs Lusher, “We usually say it’s pop songwriting mixed with soulful vocals, live instrumentation and elements of folk guitar and electric guitar, with a very hip hop influence on the production. So basically it’s everything.” A collaborative effort in the tru...
