Luke Williams, Notts County's head coach

In their 2022–23 season, Notts County competed in the National League, the fifth-highest tier in the English football league system. The team was involved in a race with Wrexham for the league title and the solitary automatic promotion place. Notts County finished second with 107 points and qualified for the play-offs, beating Chesterfield on penalties in the 2023 National League play-off final to be promoted to the English Football League. Led by head coach Luke Williams (pictured), they played 51 competitive matches, winning 34, drawing 13 and losing 4, and broke numerous club records. Macaulay Langstaff scored 42 goals during the campaign, setting new club and league records for the most goals scored by a player in a single season. The necessity of a team with such a high points tally having to win promotion via the play-offs prompted discussion about increasing the number of promotion and relegation places between the National League and EFL. The team's rivalry with Wrexham was featured in the TV programme Welcome to Wrexham. (Full article...)

Hupa
The Hupa are a Native American people of northwestern California, who migrated to the area around 1000. The Hupa language belongs to the Athabaskan family. Traditionally, they relied on salmon fishing, acorns and basketry. Most Hupa are enrolled in the federally recognized Hoopa Valley Tribe, whose reservation encompasses their ancestral homeland. This photograph, taken around 1923 by Edward S. Curtis and titled "A Smoky Day at the Sugar Bowl", shows a Hupa man standing on a rock in the middle of the Trinity River and holding a fishing spear. The photograph was published in Curtis's ethnographic series The North American Indian in 1924.Photograph credit: Edward S. Curtis
