The National Captioning Institute, Inc. is a 501 nonprofit organization that provides real-time and off-line closed captioning and translation, described video, web captioning, Spanish captioning for television and films. Created in 1979 and headquartered in Chantilly, the organization was the first to caption live TV and home video, holds the trademark on the display icon featuring a simple geometric rendering of a television set merged with a speech balloon to indicate that a program is captioned by National Captioning Institute. National Captioning Institute has an office in Santa Clarita, California; the National Association of Broadcasters formed a task force in 1972 to create the technology to provide captions of television broadcasts without an unreasonably large financial burden on television networks or local television stations. Federal funding paid for the technology. Viewers would buy an adapter for their televisions that would decode and display the text while watching closed-captioned television programs.

Up to that point, captioning of television shows was rare, with Boston television station WGBH being one of the few with open captioning of news and public affairs shows since the early 1970s. National Captioning Institute was incorporated on January 30, 1979, with millions of dollars of start-up funding from the federal government. On March 23, 1979, United States Department of Health and Welfare announced plans for closed-captioning of twenty hours per week of television shows. National Captioning Institute established its original headquarters in Bailey's Crossroads and that year it established a second office in Los Angeles. National Captioning Institute's work first became publicly well known on March 16, 1980, when ABC, NBC, PBS collectively introduced closed-captioning of their television shows. At the time, CBS decided not the join the group at first because CBS preferred a different captioning system, being used in Europe. John E. D. Ball was the founding president of the National Captioning Institute.

Mark Okrand was National Captioning Institute's first supervisor of captioning, overseeing the transcription of audio. At the time, employees of National Captioning Institute used court-reporter steno machines to caption shows. Rosalynn Carter hosted a reception at the White House honoring the work of National Captioning Institute on March 19, 1980. In 1981, Hollywood Radio and Television Society gave an award to the National Captioning Institute for developing the closed captioning system for television shows. In 1981, RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video became the first video company to release movies on videotape that had closed captions. In 1993, a federal law went into effect that required built-in capacity to display captions on all televisions 13 inches or larger, which would make purchasing separate decoders no longer necessary. All television shows were being broadcast with closed-captions at that point. In 2006, National Captioning Institute terminated the employment of 14 employees who had joined the National Association of Employees and Transmission Technicians in an effort to have reasonable workloads, receive annual cost-of-living raises, prevent cuts in employee benefit plans.

Republic is a British republican pressure group advocating the replacement of the United Kingdom's monarchy with a republic. It is a member organisation of Common Cause and the Alliance of European Republican Movements and is the only organisation campaigning for a republican constitution for Britain. Republic states that its mission is: "To achieve the abolition of the British monarchy in favour of a democratic republic". Robbie Parkin is the current Chair and Graham Smith is the current Chief Executive Officer of Republic. Created by a small group of republicans in London in 1983, Republic was reinvented as a campaigning pressure group in 2006, when it became formally set up as a limited company with a board of directors and Executive Office. During the period between the announcement of the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton in 2010 and the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2012 the group's supporters increased from around 9,000 to around 30,000, with around 500 new members being gained at the time of the 2011 Royal Wedding.

By 2015 the group had two full-time members of staff and an income of £140,000. In 2016 it had over about 35,000 online supporters. CEO Graham Smith criticised hereditary power as being "absurd" and monarchy as an outdated political institution that "abuses its position, abuses public money and which gives politicians too much power." Republic has said that after the death of Queen Elizabeth II it intends to mount a campaign for a referendum on the future of the monarchy. The group plans to do this during the period between the Queen's funeral and the coronation of Prince Charles. Republic asserts that there is a lack of transparency and accountability with respect to the funding of the monarchy; the group believes the royal finances should be independently audited by the National Audit Office, like all other central government departments, that the monarchy's exemption from the Freedom of Information Act should be removed. Republic's response to the annual royal finance reports is reported in the media.

In 2009, while Buckingham Palace claimed the total cost of the monarchy to be £41.5m, Republic estimated the figure at £334 million, once additional costs such as royal security had been taken into account. Republic's calculations do not factor in the profits of the Crown Estate, which are transferred to the national coffers in return for the civil list. In May 2007 Republic persuaded Brian Iddon MP to table an early day motion about the lack of transparency in the Duchy of Cornwall's accounts. Following a legal ruling in 2011 that the Duchy of Cornwall was separate from Prince Charles for the purposes of regulation, Republic asked HM Revenue and Customs to investigate if the Duchy should still be exempt from tax; the tax exemption is based on the assumption that the Duchy estate is inseparable from the tax exempt person of Prince Charles, now open to question. In 2013, lobbying by Republic resulted in William Nye, Prince Charles's private secretary, appearing before the Public Accounts Committee to explain the Duchy's tax arrangements.

Republic criticises Prince Charles for expressing forthright views and lobbying on political issues, which the group says is unconstitutional. It has called on the British Government to stop subsidising Charles' £16.3m annual income through grants and tax breaks. During 2015 Republic launched a campaign and petition Take Back the Duchy to abolish the Duchy of Cornwall and transfer its land and assets to the Crown Estate. In December 2015 a freedom of information request by Republic revealed that Prince Charles had routine access to confidential government papers. In 2008 Republic launched a campaign to give republicans an alternative oath of allegiance; the campaign began with an Early Day Motion and was taken up by human rights lawyer Louise Christian. In advance of the 2011 wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, the tourist organisation VisitBritain said that the event would be good for tourism. In response Republic made a freedom of information request for VisitBritain documents which indicated that royal weddings had in the past had a negative effect on tourism.

Republic held an alternative street party in London at the Royal Wedding, "celebrating democracy and people power rather than inherited privilege", along with other events across the UK's major cities. Republic's London event had been blocked by Camden Council. Republic has claimed; the documentary The Diamond Queen was criticised for this: in a letter to the chairman of the BBC Trust, Chris Patten, Graham Smith, the organisation's Chief Executive, argued that the programme breached BBC guidelines on impartiality. In his letter, Smith claimed the series was subject to "distortions, half-truths and fabrications". Advocacy of the replacement of the monarchy with a republic has been an imprisonable offence in law; the Treason Felony Act 1848 prohibits the advocacy of a republic in print. The penalty for such advocacy if the republic is to be set up by peaceful means, is lifetime imprisonment; this Act remains in force in the United Kingdom. However, under the Human Rights Act 1998, the Law Lords have held that although the Treason Felony Act remains on the statute books it must be interpreted so as to be compatible with the Human Rights Act, therefore no longer prohibits peaceful republican activity.

Jeff MacMillan is a Canadian professional ice hockey player. At the height of his career he played for the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League. MacMillan began his career in 1996, icing for the junior team the Oshawa Generals in the OHL. MacMillan stayed with the Generals for three years, making 170 appearances in that time, his solid defensive play combined with a reasonable offensive output for a defenceman meant that in the 1999 NHL entry draft, MacMillan was drafted in the seventh round by the Dallas Stars. MacMillan was sent to play for the Fort Wayne Komets in the UHL, where he played just seven games before being moved to the Michigan K-Wings, a Dallas Stars affiliate team playing in the IHL. In the K-Wings' last season as a Stars affiliate, MacMillan featured in 53 games. Due to the Stars ending their association with the K-Wings, MacMillan was farmed to the Utah Grizzlies again in the IHL, he would stay in Salt Lake City for the next four seasons, remained playing for the Grizzlies when they changed league to play at the higher AHL standard.

MacMillan was a cornerstone of the Grizzlies team, featured in over 300 games during his stay there. MacMillan's hard work and natural defensive qualities meant that during the 2003/04 season he featured for the Dallas Stars themselves, played four regular season NHL games; the following season, MacMillan was again relegated back down to the AHL, this time playing for the Hartford Wolf Pack. In his one season playing for Hartford he was again a key player, playing 71 times and clocking up 136 penalty minutes. MacMillan would play one more season in the AHL for the Syracuse Crunch. For the 2006/07 season, MacMillan decided to play in Europe and signed for the Vienna Capitals in the Austrian national league, but did not stay for the whole season, signing for the Phoenix RoadRunners of the ECHL back in North America, where he featured in the ECHL playoffs. MacMillan again decided to play in Europe the following year, in the summer of 2007, along with Capital team-mate Scott Fankhouser, agreed to sign for the Manchester Phoenix, a team playing in the EIHL, the top tier of British club ice hockey, where he was appointed alternate captain by player/coach Tony Hand.

MacMillan proved to be a solid, physical defender for the Phoenix but struggled to find form, suffering a number of injuries through the season. The Manchester defence was notably unreliable during the 2007/08 season and at the end of the season, head coach Hand made the decision to re-model the entire defence, releasing MacMillan. MacMillan and Fankhouser would again choose to sign for the same club, agreeing to play for the Bloomington Prairie Thunder of the United Hockey League, an announcement made in July 2008. Since his professional days, MacMillan has split his time between the Durham Thundercats of the WOAA Senior AA Hockey League and the Dundas Real McCoys of Allan Cup Hockey, he won the Allan Cup with Real McCoys in 2014.
