Maynard (Surrey cricketer)

Maynard (first name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played for Surrey during the 1740s.

Career

Maynard is mentioned in reports from 1744 to 1750. He was especially prolific in 1748 when he took part in a number of single wicket matches.

On Saturday, 2 June 1744, he played for London against Slindon in the earliest match that has a surviving scorecard. He is not mentioned again until 1747 but it is assumed that he remained active in the interim. In 1747, he played for All-England versus Kent at the Artillery Ground on Monday, 31 August.

The 1748 season was the zenith of single wicket and Maynard, who must have been an adept at this form of cricket, is mentioned in the reports of five matches.

The last two mentions of Maynard are in first-class matches for Surrey when he played against Kent at Dartford Brent in June 1749 and again in July 1750.

As Maynard had established his reputation by 1744, he must have been active for some years previously. His career possibly began in the 1730s and continued into the 1750s. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports.

Liquid-crystal display

A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronic visual display that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly.

LCDs are available to display arbitrary images (as in a general-purpose computer display) or fixed images with low information content, which can be displayed or hidden, such as preset words, digits, and 7-segment displays as in a digital clock. They use the same basic technology, except that arbitrary images are made up of a large number of small pixels, while other displays have larger elements.

LCD (music act)

LCD were a computer generated dance act, active in the late 1990s. Signed to Virgin Records, their only hit single was a Europop version of the Greek song "Zorbas", entitled "Zorba's Dance". The music video to the song, made in computerised animation, featured a band of overweight men playing the song.

The single was a club hit in the UK, charting twice in the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart, within 18 months of its original release, and was one of the first of its kind which was enabled to be played on a computer for its music video. The song was a big club hit in Australia due to its large Greek community supporting the song. The CD to the single pronounced LCD as "The world's first digital supergroup". The man behind the act was David K, a London based record producer.

A second single "Follow The Leader" did not chart and in 2000, LCD was discontinued. The video for "Follow The Leader" shows the act's name LCD stands for "Large Cool Dudes". The video also shows the four leading men were called Zed, Ed, Ned and Ted.

Classics (Kenny Rogers and Dottie West album)

Classics is a duet album by Kenny Rogers and Dottie West, released in 1979.

This album was Kenny Rogers' and Dottie West's second album together. Their previous album, Every Time Two Fools Collide, was a major seller, and made them one of the biggest duet acts country music has ever seen. This album was no different. The album sold very well, and peaked at number three on the Top Country Albums chart in 1979, and No.82 on the Billboard 200. This album featured cover versions of classic hits by other artists, including two country hit singles, one went to number one, called "All I Ever Need Is You" (a big hit for Sonny and Cher), and another went to number three, called "'Til I Can Make It on My Own" (a hit for Tammy Wynette).

The album was certified by the RIAA as Platinum. It has sold over 2 million copies world-wide.
