Samuel Alexander Garrison III (February 21, 1942 – May 27, 2007) was a lawyer, probably best known for his role as minority counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, defending President Richard Nixon in the 1974 impeachment hearings, and for his subsequent gay activism. Early years Garrison graduated as valedictorian of the 1959 class of Roanoke Catholic High School, aged 17. He was president of his fraternity at the University of Virginia, where he received an undergraduate degree in 1963, and then a law degree in 1966. From there he became an assistant commonwealth's attorney in his home town of Roanoke, and by 1969, at age 27, became the youngest person elected as the Commonwealth's Attorney. National politics, and Watergate In 1971, he moved to Washington to be staff counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, and just 16 months later, he joined the staff of newly elected Vice President Spiro Agnew as legislative liaison. After Agnew resigned in 1973, Garrison began working on the House Judiciary Committee's impeachment staff, and eventually replaced the committee's chief minority counsel, Albert E. Jenner Jr., who called the impeachment case against Nixon persuasive. In an obituary The Washington Post wrote: Garrison, then 32, was the last-minute replacement chosen by the committee's 17 Republicans to present the minority view of the case against Nixon. With just days to prepare, he submitted a 41-page argument against impeachment. "By all accounts, Sam Garrison did not exactly hit a home run", reporter William Greider wrote in The Washington Post on July 23, 1974. "But his performance satisfied the senior Republicans who wanted someone, for appearance's sake if nothing else, to argue the soft spots in the Judiciary Committee's evidence." "The question," Mr. Garrison said at the time, "is whether the public interest would better be served or not served by the removal of the president." Back to Roanoke Garrison later moved back to Roanoke, and later ran into financial and legal problems. The Washington Post noted: "He was a partner in a failed Roanoke restaurant and disco. The business had $1 million in debts when it closed, and Mr. Garrison declared bankruptcy. His partner, left with the debt, conspired to kill him to recover $300,000 in insurance, a court later found. In 1980, as a court-appointed attorney representing a bankrupt mobile home firm in Georgia, Garrison was indicted in a $46,000 theft from its trust. He was convicted and disbarred and served four months of a one-year sentence. (In 1993, the Virginia Supreme Court restored Garrison's law license). In 1982 he publicly revealed that he was gay. Subsequently, he joined the Democratic Party and became active in party politics and in the gay rights movement, among other things, unsuccessfully campaigning for Virginia to repeal its anti-sodomy laws. He was appointed in 2003 to the Virginia Council on Human Rights by Governor Mark R. Warner.

The Chicago Butter and Egg Board, founded in 1898, was a spin-off entity of the Chicago Produce Exchange. In the year 1919, it was re-organized as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). Roots of the Chicago Butter and Egg Board are traceable to the 19th century. Initially, the Chicago Butter and Egg Board traded only two types of contracts, butter and eggs. Over several decades, it evolved into the CME which traded futures contracts and options contracts on over 50 products, from pork bellies to eurodollars and stock market indices. The butter and egg markets died out in the 1960s after the production of both commodities had become much less seasonal, which reduced both the price volatility and the need for inter-temporal signals for guiding the disposal of inventories. Background The United States was experiencing significant population growth in the late 19th century, but periods of food scarcity continued. Markets were not yet well organized, refrigeration had not been invented and production was still governed by seasonal cycles. Butter was salted and stored for later use. By 1915 the Butter and Egg Board has developed 28 rules for butter grading. Formation The Chicago Butter and Egg Board was formed in 1898 out of the Chicago Produce Exchange. Time contracts were only a small part of the Board's activity and early attempts to implement margin rules were controversial. When futures trading rules were finally put in place in 1919 the Board's mandate expanded to include futures trading, eventually giving way to the CME which began trading butter and eggs on December 1, 1919.

The Battle of er-Rias took place in 1329, in er-Rias near a town named Mermadjenna in the land of the Hawwars. It was fought between the troops of the Hafsid caliph, Abu Yahya Abu Bakr, and the army of the Zayanid sultan, Abu Tashfîn, commanded by Yahya Ibn Moussa and Omar Ibn Hamza (leader of the nomadic tribes of Ifriqiya) as well as the Hafsid prince Mohamed Ibn Abu Umran, who had been the governor of Tripoli. The prince was declared caliph of the Hafsids and the army marched east. Battle After having had time to prepare his soldiers, Abu Yahya Abu Bakr set out to intercept Abu Tashfîn's army. The two armies faced each other in er-Rias in the land of the Hawwars. Abu Tashfîn's army feinted a retreat to lure the Hafsid army into mountainous terrain, where they could take advantage of their position. Arab contingents of the Hafsid army joined the Ziyanids, contributing to their victory. Consequences In the course of the battle, the Hafsid sultan was wounded, and the women of his family and his two sons, Ahmed and Omar, fell into the hands of the Ziyanids and were sent to Tlemcen. Abu Yahya took refuge in Constantine, or Annaba. Following this victory, the Ziyands marched on Tunis and occupied it.

The HBV hydrology model, or Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning model, is a computer simulation used to analyze river discharge and water pollution. Developed originally for use in Scandinavia, this hydrological transport model has also been applied in a large number of catchments on most continents. Discharge modelling This is the major application of HBV, and has gone through much refinement. It comprises the following routines: Snow routine Soil moisture routine Response function Routing routine The HBV model is a lumped (or semi-distributed) bucket-type (or also called 'conceptual') catchment model that has relatively few model parameters and minimal forcing input requirements, usually the daily temperature and the daily precipitation. First the snow is calculated after defining a threshold melting temperature (TT usually 0 °C) and a parameter CMELT that reflects the equivalent melted snow for the difference of temperature. The result is divided into a liquid part that is the surface runoff and a second part that infiltrates. Second the soil moisture is calculated after defining an initial value and the field capacity (FC). Third calculation of the actual Evapotranspiration (ETPa), first by using an external model (ex: Penman) for finding the potential ETP and then fitting the result to the temperatures and the permanent wilting point(PWP) of the catchment in question. A parameter C which reflects the increase in the ETP with the differences in temperatures ( Actual Temperature and Monthly mean Temperature). The model considers the catchment as two reservoirs (S1 and S2) connected by a percolation flow, the inflow to the first reservoir is calculated as the surface runoff, which is what remains from the initial precipitations after calculating the infiltration and the evapotranspiration. The outflow from the first reservoir is divided into two separate flows (Q1 and Q2) where Q1 represents the fast flow which is triggered after a certain threshold L to be defined by the user and Q2 the intermediate flow. A constant K1 is used to find the outflows as a function of the storage in S1. To consider the percolation rate a constant Kd is used as along as the storage is S1. The outflow from the second reservoir is considered to be the groundwater flow (Q3) function of a constant K2 and the storage in S2. The total flow generated from a certain rain event is the sum of the 3 flows. The result of the model are later compared to the actual measured flow values and Nasch parameter is used to calibrate the model by changing the different parameters. The model has in total 9 parameters : TT, Cmelt, FC, C, PWP, L, K1, K2, Kd. For a good calibration of the model it is better to use Monte-Carlo simulation or the GLUE-Method to properly define the parameters and the uncertainty in the model. The model is fairly reliable but as usual the need of good input data is essential for good results. The sensitivity of the HBV model to parameter uncertainty was explored revealing significant parameter interactions affecting calibration uniqueness, and some state dependence. HBV has been used for discharge modelling in many countries worldwide, including Brazil, China, Iran, Mozambique, Sweden, Switzerland and Zimbabwe. The HBV has also been used to simulate internal variables such as groundwater levels. The model has also been used for hydrological change detection studies and climate-change impact studies. The HBV model exists in several versions. One version, which has been especially designed for education with a user-friendly graphical user interface, is HBV light. HBV emulation is available as a part of Raven hydrologic framework. Raven is an open-source robust and flexible hydrological modelling framework, designed for application to challenging hydrological problems in academia and practice. This fully object-oriented code provides complete flexibility in spatial discretization, interpolation, process representation, and forcing function generation. Sediment and solute modelling The HBV model can also simulate the riverine transport of sediment and dissolved solids. Lidén simulated the transport of nitrogen, phosphorus and suspended sediment in Brazil, Estonia, Sweden and Zimbabwe.

The Jur River (also Sue River) is a river in western South Sudan, flowing through the Bahr el Ghazal and Equatoria regions. About long, it flows north and northeast, joining the Bahr el Ghazal River on the western side of the Sudd wetlands. The Jur River (Luo River) is part of the Nile basin, as the Bahr al-Ghazal flows into the White Nile. The Luo River is a seasonal stream. Its discharge can reach in September. The upper course of the Luo River is also called the Sue. Course The Jur River's headwaters flow from the Congo-Nile Divide, which separates the Nile and Congo River basins, along South Sudan's border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic. The main tributaries being the Sue River (itself sometimes called the Jur), Busseri River, Wau River, and Numatinna River. The spelling and precise meaning of these river names differ among sources. The tributaries come together near Wau, the capital of the state of Western Bahr el Ghazal. Below Wau the Jur River bends eastward, entering the swampy Sudd region. Due to the nature of the wetlands it is not always clear whether one river flows into another or merely merges in the general Sudd swamps. Some sources cite the Lol River as a tributary of the Jur while others do not. Some sources say the Jur joins the Bahr al-Arab and the confluence marks the start of the Bahr el Ghazal, but more recent sources say that the Jur joins the Bahr el Ghazal at Lake Ambadi and that the Bahr al-Arab joins the Bahr el Ghazal some distance downriver from Lake Ambadi. According to author Mamdouh Shahin, the Lol, Jur, Tonj, Bahr al-Arab, and others streams, are all tributaries of the Bahr el Ghazal, but that their channels disappear in the wetlands before reaching any outlet. History Among the ethnic groups living in the Jur basin are the Dinka, and Jurchol who call themselves Jo-luo. "Jur" is a Dinka word for "alien" or "non-Dinka". The Jur River was explored by John Petherick between 1853 and 1865. In 1897–98 the Jur River was carefully surveyed throughout its course by Lieutenant A.H. Dyé and other members of a French mission under Jean-Baptiste Marchand during the Scramble for Africa.

The Cobb Power Station is a hydroelectric facility on the Cobb River, northwest of Nelson, New Zealand. Since 2003, it has been owned and operated by Trustpower. Annual generation is approximately . It is fed by the Cobb Reservoir and has a head of , the highest of any power station in New Zealand. From the reservoir, a long tunnel leads through the Cobb Range to the penstocks. The water flow is channelled via two long penstocks and the height difference between the intake and the power station results in a high pressure water flow of 7.25 m³/s to feed the six Pelton turbines. Cobb Power Station can be reached from Upper Tākaka via a sealed but winding and narrow road along Tākaka River. The power station building is situated at the edge of Kahurangi National Park, with the reservoir located entirely within the national park, another further up an unsealed steep and winding road.

John David Anderson (born December 13, 1954) is an American country singer with a successful career that has lasted more than 40 years. Starting in 1977 with the release of his first single, "I've Got a Feelin' (Somebody's Been Stealin')", Anderson has charted more than 40 singles on the Billboard country music charts, including five number ones: "Wild and Blue", "Swingin'", "Black Sheep", "Straight Tequila Night", and "Money in the Bank". He has also recorded 22 studio albums on several labels. His latest album, Years, was released on April 10, 2020, on the Easy Eye Sound label and was produced by Nashville veteran producer David Ferguson and Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. Anderson was inducted to the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame on October 5, 2014. Early career Raised in Apopka, Florida, Anderson's first musical influences were not country artists, but rock and roll musicians such as Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones. He played in a rock band until the age of 15, when he discovered the music of George Jones and Merle Haggard and turned to country music. Anderson moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1971, arriving unannounced at his sister's home, and took on odd jobs during the day – including one as a roofer at the Grand Ole Opry House – while playing in clubs during the evenings. The club appearances finally paid off in 1977 when he signed his first recording contract with Warner Bros. Records. He first hit the Billboard Country chart in 1977 with the song "I've Got a Feelin' (Somebody's Been Stealin')", then broke into the country Top 40 with "The Girl at the End of the Bar" the next year. Anderson's decidedly backwoods accent and distinctive vocal timbre helped land him in the forefront of the "New Traditionalist" movement with artists like Ricky Skaggs and George Strait. A steady stream of singles through the late 1970s and early 1980s continued to build Anderson's name in the country genre. The song "I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I'm Gonna Be a Diamond Someday)" from the 1981 album John Anderson 2 netted Anderson a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. "Swingin'" and mainstream success The release of Anderson's fourth album, Wild & Blue, in 1982 led to his breakthrough to mainstream country when the single "Swingin'" hit the airwaves early the next year. Co-written with long-time writing partner, Lionel Delmore, the song broke into the country charts and reached Number One by March, while at the same time crossing over to the Billboard Hot 100, reaching a peak of Number 43. The single became the biggest selling record in the history of Warner Bros. Records. In the wake of "Swingin'", Anderson received five nominations for Country Music Association awards for the year. He was the winner of the Horizon Award, and the song was named Single of the Year; he also received nominations for Song of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and Album of the Year. Anderson's success with Wild & Blue carried on through several more albums, but none would match its chart numbers or sales. In 1986, Anderson and Warner Bros. parted ways. Seminole Wind and later career After leaving Warner Bros., Anderson signed with MCA Records and released two albums under that label, followed by one with Capitol Records in 1990. Chart success was minimal throughout those years. However, that turned around in 1991 when Anderson joined BNA Records and, working with legendary country producer James Stroud, released the album Seminole Wind. Powered by the title single, which rose to Number Two, and the Number One single "Straight Tequila Night", the album proved a resurgence for Anderson's career. The album has been certified two times platinum, the highest of any of Anderson's albums, and he was nominated for three CMA Awards – Male Vocalist, Song of the Year and Album of the Year. The success of Seminole Wind brought a fresh life to Anderson's career, and he released a number of albums that charted well, producing several more singles that pushed to the upper levels of the country charts. The 1993 album Solid Ground produced a Number One single, "Money in the Bank", which turned out to be the most recent chart-topper of Anderson's career. He recorded for BNA through 1996 before leaving the label. In 1993, Anderson was awarded the Academy of Country Music Career Achievement award. Anderson has recorded for several labels since his departure from BNA, with moderate chart success. An album entitled Bigger Hands, a return to working with Stroud as producer, was released in June 2009. Over his career, Anderson has collaborated with a number of different artists. He worked with Waylon Jennings on his last ever live album before Jennings's death in 2002, Never Say Die: The Final Concert, where he performed a duet with Jennings on the track Waymore's Blues. He has also worked with John Rich of Big & Rich on his 2007 album Easy Money, and co-wrote Rich's 2009 single "Shuttin' Detroit Down" He has been named an honorary member of the MuzikMafia, of which Rich is also a member. Anderson lives in Smithville, Tennessee, his home for more than 30 years with his wife and two daughters.

The Hindenburgdamm or Hindenburg Dam is an 11 km-long causeway joining the North Frisian island of Sylt to mainland Schleswig-Holstein. Its coordinates are . It was opened on 1 June 1927 and is exclusively a railway corridor. The companies that built the Hindenburgdamm, a job that took four years, were Philipp Holzmann AG of Frankfurt, working from the mainland, and Peter Fix Söhne of Duisburg working from Sylt. A train trip along the causeway takes about 10 minutes, and the time between the auto terminals at Niebüll on the mainland and Westerland on Sylt is about 30 minutes. The Hindenburgdamm is part of the railway line known as the Marschbahn ("Marsh Railway"), which is double-tracked along much of the route, although there as yet exists a single-tracked stretch. On the causeway is a signal box. The rail line is not electrified making the use of diesel locomotives necessary. Trains coming from origins further south like Hamburg change from an electric locomotive to a diesel locomotive at Itzehoe. Every day, more than 100 trains pass over the causeway, 50 of those ferrying cars (there is no road link to Sylt). Each year, the railway ferries more than 450,000 vehicles over the causeway. The causeway, which bears the Weimar Republic Reichspräsident Paul von Hindenburg's name, has interrupted the tidal flow, which until the causeway's appearance had flowed freely between Sylt and the mainland. This change in tides, it is believed, is part of what has led to the loss of a certain amount of land at Sylt's southern end. The causeway lies in the specially protected Zone I of the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Wattenmeer National Park. Walks on the tidal flats are not allowed here, although they are quite popular elsewhere. Situation before the causeway was built After the Second War of Schleswig in 1864, when Prussia took over Schleswig from Denmark, Sylt and Westerland belonged to the new Tondern district. The seaside bathing town of Westerland gradually grew in popularity. The west coast railway already ran from Altona by way of Husum and Niebüll to Tønder (then also in Germany and called Tondern). From here, the tracks were extended to the port at the Hoyerschleuse, whence paddlesteamers ran to Munkmarsch harbour on Sylt. The connection was at the tide's mercy, and in winter, the ice in the Wadden Sea formed an impenetrable barrier. Already being planned at that time was a rail causeway from the mainland to Nösse on Sylt. The horrendous cost of such a project kept it shelved for quite a while, until Westerland was raised to town in 1905. Westerland's growing popularity as a seaside resort led in 1910 to serious official planning for the rail causeway. World War I brought all planning to a stop. After the war, Germany was obliged to cede Tønder and the Hoyerschleuse to Denmark. Sylt remained part of Germany, but owing to the new border, the old route to Sylt was now cut off, except if travellers wanted to go to the trouble of obtaining a Danish visa to make a short trip through Danish territory. Construction Because of this unacceptable situation, construction on the long planned causeway was finally begun by Philipp Holzmann in 1925. Early in the construction, a storm flood swept away what had already been built. After this experience, it was decided to realign the causeway's route somewhat more towards the north. A trenchlike cofferdam was built to facilitate construction. 1,000-1,500 workers were employed on the project. In the two years that it took to build the causeway, more than 3 million cubic metres of sand and clay were moved, and 120,000 tonnes of stones used. It was opened on 1 June 1927. Rail traffic The auto-train car shuttle train terminal in Niebüll is connected to the Autobahnen in Schleswig-Holstein by Federal Highways (Bundesstraßen) B5 and B199. On 3 September 2009, there was a fatal accident on the Hindenburgdamm when a squall blew a truck off a flatcar in one of the auto-trains. The driver was thrown out of the truck and died at the accident scene. Namesake In the 1960s and 1970s, the name "Hindenburgdamm" came to be criticized, since its namesake was a controversial figure. There were many initiatives to find the causeway a new name, but none of the suggestions (including "Sylt-Damm", "Friedens-Damm" ["Peace Causeway"] and "Friesen-Damm" ["Frisian Causeway"]) won majority support. Future Even though a few on Sylt may call for a road causeway instead of a railway link, it seems unlikely that Deutsche Bahn will be willing to give up this profitable line. In 2006 rumours came up that the single-tracked stretches of the line (between Niebüll and Klanxbüll and between Morsum and Westerland) were to be extended to double-track. However, these rumours proved to be false. Work started in 2008 at the Lehnshallig crossover merely had the purpose of replacing old equipment.

Samira Ibrahim (, ) (born c. 1987) is an Egyptian activist who came to prominence during the Egyptian revolution. Tahrir sit-in and aftermath On March 9, 2011, she participated in a sit-in at Tahrir Square in Cairo. The military violently dispersed protest participants, and Samira and other women were beaten, given electric shocks, strip searched, and videotaped by the soldiers. They were also subjected to virginity tests. The tests were allegedly carried out to protect the soldiers from claims of rape. After succeeding in placing the case in front of a civilian court, a court order was issued in December 2011 to stop the practice of “virginity tests”. However, in March 2012, a military court exonerated Dr. Adel El Mogy from charges laid in connection with the virginity testing of Ibrahim. Ibrahim vowed to take her case to the international courts. 2013 Twitter allegations In early March 2013, Ibrahim came under criticism after Samuel Tadros, writing in The Weekly Standard, accused her of posting anti-Semitic and anti-American statements on her Twitter account. These statements included quoting Adolf Hitler, writing: "I have discovered with the passage of days, that no act contrary to morality, no crime against society, takes place, except with the Jews having a hand in it. Hitler.” In reaction to a suicide bombing of a bus of Israelis in Bulgaria, she wrote "Today is a very sweet day with a lot of very sweet news.” In 2012 on the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, she tweeted "Today is the anniversary of 9/11. May every year come with America burning". The American State Department subsequently announced that it will not be giving the International Women of Courage Award to her in light of these comments. Initially, Ibrahim claimed that her Twitter account had been "previously stolen" and that "any tweet on racism and hatred is not me”. However, she later stated "I refuse to apologize to the Zionist lobby in America regarding my previous anti-Zionist statements under pressure from American government therefore they withdrew the award." The U.S. State Department later stated that Ibrahim had since left the United States to return to Egypt. On March 8, 2013, a spokeswoman for the U.S. State Department stated that "Upon further review, the department has decided not to present her with the award" as American officials "didn't consider some of the public statements that she had made appropriate. They didn't comport with our values" while adding that "There were obviously some problems in our review process, and we're going to do some forensics on how that happened."

Matti Kalervo Kilpiö (1939–28 May 2023) was a philologist at the University of Helsinki and a musician. He is noted for his contributions to the study of Old English. Career Kilpiö joined the University of Helsinki Department of English (from 2010 the Department of Modern Languages) in 1969. There he completed his PhD thesis, which was supervised by Tauno F. Mustanoja and Matti Rissanen, in 1989, later becoming docent in English Philology. Alongside Leena Kahlas-Tarkka, Kilpiö edited the Old English texts in the ground-breaking Helsinki Corpus of English Texts, a seminal English-language corpus of historical texts, of which Matti Rissanen was editor-in-chief, first published in 1991. During the same period, he composed the Toronto Dictionary of Old English entry for the verb ('to be'), sifting around 100,000 instances of the verb to produce an entry with around thirty pages of citations in its original, microfiche, publication. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kilpiö, Rissanen, Kahlas-Tarkka, Victor I. Shadrin and Ludmila Chakhoyan led a project to promote collaboration between European and Russian scholars, supporting corpus linguistics, focusing on English historical linguistics, in St Petersburg, and facilitating the study of medieval and early modern manuscripts and printed books of English provenance held in St Petersburg. In 1998, Kilpiö led the staging by English Department students of the Chester Mystery Plays in Helsinki. In 1997, Kilpiö was elected vice-president of what was then the International Society of Anglo-Saxonists, and as president in 1999, completing his term at the close of 2001. He was elected honorary member of the society in 2003. From this period onwards, Kilpiö worked on the Dictionary of Old English entry for another Old English verb with key grammatical functions, ('to have'), which was published in 2008. He also reviewed research on Old English syntax for The Year's Work in Old English Studies. In 2010, he was the recipient of a Festschrift, and the 'Valoisa keskiakia' ('Luminous Middle Ages') prize, awarded by Finland's medieval studies society Glossa. At the time of his death, Kilpiö was collaborating with Kahlas-Tarkka on an edition of the diaries of Ann Bathurst, a seventeenth-century mystic. Music Before commencing his degree in English, Kilpiö had hoped to study music at the Sibelius Academy. Throughout his life, he was an active amateur musician, playing the viola and singing in choirs. His musical and philological interests intersected in his work as a translator of songs between English, Latin, and Finnish, and in his collaboration with the Sibelius Academy to provide period music to the performance of the Chester Mystery Plays he staged in 1998. Works Academic Alongside a large number of articles, Kilpiö's principal publications were: Passive constructions in Old English translations from Latin, with special reference to the OE Bede and the Pastoral care, Mémoires de la Société néo-philologique à Helsingfors, 49 (Helsinki: Société néophilologique, 1989), Matti Kilpiö, with attested spelling materials assembled by Robert Millar, using the materials assembled by Haruko Momma, 'Beon (Supplement to Fascicle B)', in Dictionary of Old English (Toronto: Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, 1992), Anglo-Saxons and the north: essays reflecting the theme of the 10th Meeting of the International Society of Anglo-Saxonists in Helsinki, August 2001, ed. by Matti Kilpiö and others, Essays in Anglo-Saxon studies, 1/Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies, 364 (Tempe, Ariz.: Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 2009), Ex insula lex: manuscripts and hagiographical material connected with medieval England, ed. by Matti Kilpiö and Leena Kahlas-Tarkka (Helsinki: Helsinki University Library, The National Library of Finland, 2001), Western European Manuscripts and Early Printed Books in Russia: Delving into the Collections of the Libraries of St Petersburg, ed. by Leena Kahlas-Tarkka & Matti Kilpiö, Studies in Variation, Contacts and Change in English, 9 (Helsinki: Varieng, 2012) Music Kilpiö's principal musical publications are listed in the Finnish national database of authors and composers.

The Russian American Medical Association (RAMA) is a non-profit organization of Russian American physicians founded in 2002 with a mission to facilitate and enable Russian American physicians and health care professionals to excel in patient care, teaching and research, and to pursue their aspirations in professional, humanitarian and community affairs. RAMA is partnering with a number of professional organizations, including such key collaborators as Russian American Dental Association, Russian American Scientists Association (RASA) and American Business Association of Russian Professionals (AmBAR). This and other partnerships foster collaboration among doctors, scientists, entrepreneurs, and medical researchers of European, American and Asian descent in the areas of medical education, biomedical and clinical research, as well as innovation and improvement of health care. RAMA is not a political organization but does participate in legislative and political processes. RAMA works through regional representatives and chapters, which aim to be independent in their activity and decision-making. Each chapter's President or representative becomes a member of the Board of Directors and helps coordinate the association's work. It holds regular annual meetings, often in conjunction with other groups, such as Russian-American Dental Association (RADA) and publishes a journal. RAMA is the largest association of Russian professionals outside of Russia, irrespective of the specialty. There are 66 full members from 40 states of the United States, and Canada, Russia, other CIS countries, England, Germany, Israel, Estonia and South Africa. The database of the Association includes more than 800 Russian-speaking physicians and other medical professionals. RAMA was founded in 2002 by Dr. Boris Vinogradsky (now from Cleveland, Ohio, USA) as a coalition of several independent groups of doctors and now has organized chapters in Massachusetts, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, the Student Chapter and the Canada Group. It is working with groups of physicians in New York, Chicago, St. Louis, St. Paul, San Francisco and Los Angeles to form new chapters. Following the break-up of the Soviet Union, hundreds of thousands of Russian physicians, biomedical scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs have succeeded in building their professional careers, their personal lives and lives of their families around the world. A palpable part of this community is interested in helping the Russian people to improve health and life expectancy by building modern healthcare, institutions of biomedical research and entrepreneurship, and by joining international biomedical community via numerous professional organizations and institutions. The Russian American Medical Association plans to establish RAMA Institute of Medicine, which aims to further integrate Russian American medical specialists and biomedical scientists and researchers into the global biomedical community. RAMA programs Medical Missions: RAMA has embarked on a mission to help children and adults in Russia who cannot afford healthcare and to enhance the professional education of doctors in Russia and other countries of the former USSR. RAMA has already carried out a series of successful medical missions in Russia and produced some telling results. Death rates at the clinics where RAMA mission groups worked have drastically decreased and professional level of the local doctors RAMA worked with has dramatically improved. RAMA continues its work in Siberia. Kemerovo is the city where RAMA cooperates closely with the International Children's Heart Foundation (ICHF) and saves lives of children with heart pathology. Rama has established its presence in the center of the Russian mining region, Leninsk-Kuznetsky, where it conducts multi-specialty medical mission to support local doctors in such areas as cardiovascular surgery and neurosurgery, gynecology and orthopedics. Cooperation with Tomsk Regional Perinatal Center is another progressive development of RAMA medical missions in the region among other directions focusing on improving techniques of sustaining life of newborns with low and extremely low birth weight, surgery of newborns; retinopathy of prematurity and high-risk obstetrics. RAMA work in central Russia has developed close ties with a Yaroslavl Regional Clinic focusing on cardiovascular surgery. Other RAMA medical mission plans include work in Russia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Mari El Republic (Russia), and other. Partner Program The goal of the program is to coordinate efforts of multiple medical and non-medical groups that work with Russia. RAMA Research Collaboration Project. Observership Program The purpose of this program is to let Russian-speaking medical graduates and international medical graduates to get clinical experience in an American hospital while preparing for their residency or improving their professional qualification. RAMA is collaborating with a number of clinics in the US, including those located in Cleveland, Ohio where RAMA's headquarters is. They are Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, Lake Health System, and Metrohealth Medical System. Heart Health Awareness in Russians Project This pilot program is being developed and will provide health information and medical education to the Russian immigrant population. The Phase I of the project will focus on the issues of the heart disease. RAMA Discussion Forum This is the largest Russian medical discussion group in America. Most questions of the certification process, residency and private practice issues, as well as the areas of all levels of the American health care system are discussed in detail there. Russian-speaking Physicians DatabaseRAMA maintains the database of the Russian-speaking physicians in North America that is used for referrals and benefits both — physicians and patients across the country RAMA Journal, National Conference Proceedings and RAMA Report RAMA publications include information about RAMA as well as scientific articles of RAMA members and updates RAMA members and followers on the association latest activity.

Moses, also called Abba Musa, was the Coptic bishop of Awsīm (or Wasīm) in Giza from about 735 until after 767. He was an influential churchman in Islamic Egypt. Moses was a monk before he became a bishop. His predecessor, Gamul, was bishop about 728 and Moses had succeeded by about 735. He was a companion of the Patriarch Michael I. When in 743 there was a deadlock between northern and southern factions in the election of a new Patriarch of Alexandria, Moses successfully put forward Michael as a compromise. His influence probably stemmed in part from his proximity to the Egyptian government in Fustat. Moses was repeatedly imprisoned for refusing to pay new taxes imposed on ecclesiastical landholdings. During the revolt against Umayyad rule (747–750), Moses (by now an old man) and Michael were both summoned before the Umayyad caliph Marwan II. According to John the Deacon, Moses was severely beaten, yet gave thanks to God that he was found worthy to suffer for the church. John, who wrote the second section of the History of the Patriarchs of Alexandria, was a spiritual disciple of Moses. Moses defended the Coptic church against the encroachments of the Muslim rulers of Egypt. Under the Abbasids who replaced the Umayyads in 750, Moses visited Fustat several times to plead for tax relief for church lands. He secured lenient treatment for the Copts from the Abbasid governor Abū ʿAwn when, at the governor's request, he interceded with prayer and the waters of the Nile rose three cubits. Late in Michael's patriarchate, Moses succeeded in bring back into the church some Melitians, remnants of a 4th-century schism. Under Patriarch Mina I (767–774), Moses fought to keep Christian holy places. He also wrote a letter to Mina and all the Christians of Alexandria urging them to continue keeping the Lord's Day. Moses was revered in his own time as a healer with the gift of prophecy who comforted his fellow inmates during his spells in prison. He worked to keep the peace between the Copts and the Melkites in Alexandria.

"A Dish Best Served Cold" is the 3rd episode of season 3 of the supernatural drama television series Grimm and the 47th episode overall, which premiered on November 8, 2013, on the cable network NBC. The episode was written by Rob Wright, and was directed by Karen Gaviola. Plot Opening quote: "'Tis Death's Park, where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet." Nick's (David Giuntoli) strength has been increasing after his zombification. On a date with Rosalee (Bree Turner), Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) proposes that she move in with him, to which she accepts. They also run into Sam (George Mount), an old friend of Monroe and his wife Kimber (Ashley Whittaker). That night, a Blutbad runs in the woods and climbs onto a tree where his stomach is bloating and then explodes. While Nick and Hank (Russell Hornsby) investigate the death, Renard (Sasha Roiz) receives a call from Sebastien (Christian Lagadec), his spy. He tells him that the police couldn't find anything on Eric's desk but he found a note that may lead to Frau Pech's location but finds Adalind (Claire Coffee) there. The next day, another victim is found in a tree with the same characteristics. Investigating the dead woman's car, Nick and Hank find that she and the Blutbad went to the same restaurant, Raven & Rose, before dying. They visit the restaurant to find the chef boss, Graydon Ostler (Dan Bakkedahl) yelling at his employees, all of them are Bauerschwein. Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) suggests to Nick that the victims could have died of gastric dilatation volvulus and Nick deduces that as the chefs were Bauerschwein and the victims were Blutbaden, these killings may be because of their old feud. Nick is finally moving out of Monroe's house and Monroe, Rosalee, Juliette, Hank and Bud (Danny Bruno) throw a party to celebrate. However, during the celebration, Monroe gets a call from Kimber, who states that Sam may have gone missing. Nick discovers that Sam is a Blutbad and also ate at Raven & Rose. Rosalee finds that the disease is the result of the Völlige Verzweiflung, a disease that causes their victims to burst their insides out. If the food is eaten raw, nothing will happen; but if the food is cooked, it is a toxin to the Blutbaden. Sam is found by Nick, Hank and Monroe and his stomach explodes, killing him. Deducing Ostler is responsible, Monroe goes to kill him. Nick manages to get Ostler to confess when Monroe and a pack of Blutbaden arrive at the restaurant to kill him. Ostler signs a written confession in the precinct and Renard looks at it and says, "This little piggy went to jail." Reception Viewers The episode was viewed by 4.88 million people, earning a 1.3/4 in the 18-49 rating demographics on the Nielson ratings scale, ranking third on its timeslot and eight for the night in the 18-49 demographics, behind Blue Bloods, 20/20, Last Man Standing, Hawaii Five-0, MasterChef Junior, Undercover Boss, and Shark Tank. This was a 20% decrease in viewership from the previous episode, which was watched by 4.96 million viewers with a 1.5/5. This means that 1.3 percent of all households with televisions watched the episode, while 4 percent of all households watching television at that time watched it. With DVR factoring in, the episode was watched by 7.99 million viewers with a 2.5 ratings share in the 18-49 demographics. Critical reviews "A Dish Best Served Cold" received positive reviews. The A.V. Club's Phil Dyess-Nugent gave the episode a "B+" grade and wrote, "No show packs a more rich and varied sampler platter into its pre-credits sequence than Grimm. 'A Dish Best Served Cold' begins with Nick on a treadmill at the doctor's office. 'No matter how fast I had you running, your heart rate and your blood pressure barely moved,' says the doctor. 'Has there been any change in your diet or lifestyle recently?' That's the cue for a flashback of Nick getting gobbed in the face by a blowfish dude. While the 11-year-olds of every age in the audience are celebrating this reminder of one of the show's all-time greatest gross-outs, there's a cut to a restaurant scene that's a shipper's delight: Monroe telling Rosalee that Nick is moving out of his house, and delicately raising the possibility that she move in with him." Nick McHatton from TV Fanatic, gave a 4.0 star rating out of 5, stating: "The age old rivalry between the Blutbad and the Bauerschwein continued on Grimm Season 3 Episode 3, and what better way for a Bauerchwein to get back at a Blutbad than by literally blowing them up from the inside out with a serious case of indigestion?"

Paul Sandby Munn, (1773 – 1845) was an English water-colour painter. Life Paul Sanby Munn, born at Thornton Row, Greenwich, on 8 February 1773, was son of James Munn, carriage decorator and landscape-painter, and Charlotte Mills, his wife. His father was an occasional exhibitor at the Old Society of Painters in Water-colours and at the Society of Artists from 1764 to 1774. Munn was named after his godfather, Paul Sandby, who gave him his first instructions in water-colour painting. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1798, sending some views in the Isle of Wight, and was subsequently a frequent contributor of topographical drawings to that and other exhibitions. He was elected an associate exhibitor of the Old Society of Painters in Water-colours in 1806, and was for some years a contributor to their exhibitions. He was an intimate friend of John Sell Cotman, and they made several sketching tours together at home and abroad. He drew some of the views in Britton's Beauties of England and Wales. Munn's drawings are delicately and carefully executed, usually in pale and thin colours, resembling the tinted drawings of the early school of water-colour painting. In 1894 there were examples in the South Kensington Museum and the print room, British Museum. Munn painted little after 1832, when he devoted himself chiefly to music. He married Cecilia, daughter of Captain Timothy Essex, but died without issue at Margate on 17 February 1845. References Bibliography Oliver, Valerie Cassel, ed. (2011). "Munn, Paul Sandby".

Lucas (I) from the kindred Péc () was a Hungarian noble in the first third of the 13th century, who served as Master of the cupbearers from 1229 to 1230. Family Lucas I is the earliest known member of the gens (clan) Péc, which had large-scale possessions in several counties of Transdanubia, in addition to other parts of the Kingdom of Hungary. They originated from Sokoró Hills (Győr County), their ancient clan estate laid in present-day Felpéc and Kajárpéc. Based on the clan's coat-of-arms, it is possible that Lucas was a knight from Western Europe, who arrived to Hungary during the early reign of Andrew II of Hungary. For his military service, he was granted lands in Győr County and the surrounding regions. Lucas I had three sons: George served as ispán of Zala County from 1243 to 1244; Mark I, who was forefather of the Marcali, Berzencei and Szentgyörgyi noble families; and Lucas II (also known as Lucas the Great). Identification There is a scholarly debate on the difficulty of the identification of Hungarian nobles with the given name "Lucas", who were active in the 1230s. 19th-century historian Mór Wertner considered all of them as a single person in his various academic works, albeit with various sturdiness. He claimed that all of relevant data refer to a certain Lucas, son of Hippolytus, who is mentioned by a charter in 1206. Wertner connected this individual to the Péc kindred. Subsequently, he slightly modified his viewpoint, and considered Lucas, who functioned as ispán of Hont County, was "probably different person". Historian Attila Zsoldos analyzed further the question: he separated Lucas, the ispán of the Bakony royal forest too, as its office-holders came from a lower social status in the era. Furthermore, as Zsoldos denoted, the ispán of Moson County was certainly different person from the ispán of Hont County, as they both appeared in the same royal charter in 1239. Attila Zsoldos then considered, there were four (less likely three) different office-bearer nobles with the given name Lucas in the first third of the 13th century: Lucas, who belonged to the court of King Andrew II. He served as Master of the cupbearers from 1229 to 1230, beside his position of ispán of Bars County. Possibly he is identical with that Lucas, who briefly functioned as ispán of Pozsony County in 1235. Several historians, including Attila Zsoldos and Tamás Kádár considered this baron might be identical with Lucas I Péc, who rose to the Hungarian elite during his decades of service in the court of Andrew II, but rapidly lost political influence, when Béla IV of Hungary ascended the Hungarian throne in 1235. Lucas, who was a confidant of Duke Béla, who had long opposed his father's land grants and policy. He was Ban of Severin (which belonged to the duke's domain) in 1233, following his predecessor Buzád Hahót's retirement. He was present at the forest of Bereg on 22 August 1233, when Duke Béla took an oath to the agreement concluded two days earlier between his father and the Holy See. It is plausible that Julius Rátót succeeded him as ban by 27 November 1233. After Béla's coronation as Hungarian king, he served as ispán of Moson County between 1235 and 1240. It is plausible he was killed during the First Mongol invasion of Hungary. Lucas, who came from a lower social status (possibly royal servant), and functioned as count of the Bakony royal forest from 1232 to 1233. Lucas, who was ispán of Hont County from 1237 to 1239.

The First Presbyterian Church, located at 124 Henry Street between Pierrepont and Clark Streets in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City was built in 1846 and was designed by William B. Olmstead in the Gothic Revival style. The church's memorial doorway was added in 1921 and was designed by James Gamble Rogers. Architecturally, the church's dominant feature is its crenellated tower with pointed arch windows. Many of the stained glass windows in the church are by the Louis Comfort Tiffany Studios. The church – which is part of the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, created by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on November 23, 1965 – has been described as "solid, stolid and dour," but also as "bold but somewhat naive". The congregation was founded in 1822, at a time when affluent merchants were beginning to move to the neighborhood from Manhattan. Their original church was located on Cranberry Street between Henry and Hicks Streets, and was where the celebration of Brooklyn's official incorporation as a city was held. That site was bought by the Plymouth Church when the First Presbyterian Church, needing to expand, moved to its present location. At the time of the Old School-New School schism in American Presbyterianism over slavery and other issues, some members of the church, in reaction to the "New School" abolitionist preaching of Dr. Samuel Hanson Cox – who was the church's pastor for 17 years – split to start an "Old School" church, located at Remsen and Clinton Streets, while others left to help start the Church of the Pilgrims or joined the Plymouth Church. The congregation began the Heights Fellowship (1949-52) under the leadership of Philip Elliot (1931-1961), to encourage ecumenism, racial harmony and internationalism. This same program was also promoted by Paul Smith at the end of the 1980s.

Douglas Lyman Edmonds (November 20, 1887 – May 10, 1962) was an American jurist, serving on the Supreme Court of California and the United Nations' International Law Commission. Early life Edmonds was born in Chicago, and educated in the public schools of Chicago, Denver and San Diego. He later moved to Los Angeles and attended the University of Southern California School of Law. After graduation, he joined the California Bar in 1910. After entering the bar, Edmonds practiced law in Southern California. In 1916, he ran for Assemblyman from the 63rd assembly district on the Republican ticket. Judicial tenure In 1926, he became a Los Angeles Municipal Court judge. He was later appointed to the Los Angeles County Superior Court bench, where in 1936 he was presiding judge. In June 1936, Edmonds signed the order changing the name of Hollywood star Jean Harlow from Harlean Carpenter Rossen. On August 6, 1936, associate justice Nathaniel P. Conrey announced that he would resign from the Supreme Court of California, and would not stand for election that November. On September 14, Governor Frank Merriam selected Edmonds to stand in Conrey's place on the November ballot, and, two days later, he was seated as an associate justice pro tempore on the court. Conrey, who concluded his active service on the court in August, intended to officially resign once Edmonds was elected, but he died on November 2, the day before the election. On November 19, Merriam formally appointed Edmonds, who had won the election, to the supreme court to fill the remainder of Conrey's term. Edmonds moved from Los Angeles to San Francisco as a result of his bench appointment. In November 1942, he was retained in the election, along with John W. Shenk. After another reelection in November 1954, Edmonds served on the Supreme Court until his retirement in December 1955. While serving on the court, Edmonds chaired the American Bar Association Section on Judicial Administration. In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower appointed Edmonds to the United Nation's International Law Commission, where he served until 1961. Later career After stepping down from the bench, he moved to Pasadena and practiced law at Guthrie, Darling & Shattuck. In 1957, Edmonds represented the cities of San Bernardino, Colton, and Redlands in the Orange County Water Suit. In 1961, he was the state chair of the unsuccessful election campaign of Tom Coakley for California Attorney General. Personal life In 1910, he married Laura C. Leinbach and they had a daughter, Dorothy. His wife died December 22, 1946, in San Francisco, and he remarried in February 1948 to Gertrude S. Forsyth. On May 10, 1962, Edmonds was killed in an automobile accident near San Juan Capistrano, California. His wife, Gertrude, survived the car accident. He was a member of the Christian Science church.

The Panhard Dyna X was a lightweight berline designed by the engineer Jean Albert Grégoire and first exhibited as the AFG (Aluminium Français Grégoire) Dyna at the Paris Motor Show in 1946. Conception and development Mindful of the precarious economic situation in France following the Second World War, and aware of government enthusiasm for expanding the strategically important aluminium industry, the Panhard company, which had been known in the 1930s as a manufacturer of expensive six- and eight-cylinder sedans, purchased the rights to build the smaller Grégoire-designed car. The dramatic change of direction was not well received by everyone at Panhard, but it did usher in a period during which Panhard was one of the most loyal followers of the Pons Plan. In view of the fates of France's luxury auto-makers in the next ten years, and the huge development potential that Panhard extracted from the Dyna X, this adherence to the Pons Plan was probably good for Panhard, at least until the early 1960s. The Dyna was made production ready and was emerging in commercial quantities from Panhard's Ivry plant by 1948: it set the pattern for Panhard passenger cars until the firm abandoned automobile production in 1967. Models built The names Dyna 110, Dyna 120 and Dyna 130 represented the cars' progressively increasing maximum speeds (in kilometers per hour), as engine power and size increased during the production run. The Dyna X berline was replaced by the larger Panhard Dyna Z in 1954, although some of the sporting derivatives continued in production for a few more years. The Body During the 1920s and 1930s, Grégoire had become known for his expertise in two particular areas of automobile construction, these being lightweight bodies and front wheel drive. The AFG Dyna, planned under difficult circumstances in occupied France, had an all-steel tubular frame chassis, to which was attached a lightweight aluminium four-door superstructure. The style of the berline was modern and aerodynamic. Contemporary press photographs showing the car with three elegant young women seated in the front and three more in the back were presumably designed to emphasize the car's interior space, and the Dyna X certainly was usefully wider than the Renault 4CV. Nevertheless, the photographs almost certainly employed exceptionally thin young ladies and/or a certain degree of image manipulation, and it would have made more sense, even in that age of austerity, to view the Dyna X as a four seater for most purposes. At the back the usefully commodious luggage compartment was unencumbered by any spare wheel, since that was mounted on the rear panel outside the car. There was no exterior access to the luggage, which will have saved weight and expense, but from the passenger cabin it was possible to access the rear luggage compartment by tipping forward the rear seat cushion. The compact engine and the lack of a radiator permitted a wind-cheating front design on which the headlights perched like frogs' eyes, between the wings and bonnet line. The shape of the car changed little during its model life, but one change that did occur involved the headlights and took place early in 1948 when the stand-alone conventionally formed headlights were replaced by headlights that could be described as integrated into the bodywork, by means of a reducing torpedo shaped molding linking the rear of each headlight to the space between the wing and the hood/bonnet. The front grille also changed at least once. Alternative bodies included the two-door cabriolet and a 3-door estate version ("Break"). A "Fourgonette" light van version was also offered. The chassis and engine of the Dyna turned up in the Panhard Dyna Junior sports car of 1951 and were also a popular basis for low-volume lightweight sports cars produced by specialist manufacturers. The chassis of the Dyna X was also used as the basis of the Panhard Dynavia aerodynamic concept cars of 1948. The Engine The Dyna X's low profile engine was characteristically idiosyncratic. Designed by Louis Delagarde, the two cylinder front mounted boxer unit was air-cooled. At launch in 1946, the 610 cc unit delivered a claimed maximum output of 24 hp (17.6 kW) at 4,000 rpm, which by 1949 had increased to 28 hp at 5000 rpm. The car's aluminium body gave it an excellent power-to-weight ratio and in this form a maximum speed of 110 km/h (68 mph). The Dyna X made a considerable impression in the touring car championships of the late 1940s. The car was also noted for its frugal fuel consumption. Engine displacement was increased in 1950 to 745 cc, and to 851 cc in 1952, by which time claimed output had increased to 40 hp (29 kW) in the Dyna 130, named for its 130 km/h (81 mph) top speed. Running gear The gearbox was a 4-speed manual unit controlled using a column-mounted lever, featuring synchromesh on the top three ratios. Power was transmitted to the front wheels, front wheel drive having been a specialty and an enthusiasm of Grégoire for many years. Commercial In July 1948, in a period during which much of the news was gloomy the car received favourable publicity when an enthusiastic customer called Georges Desmoulin, with two friends, drove a standard car to the north of Finland, well within the Arctic circle, covering long distances on roads which, in the north, were still unpaved. Desmoulin expressed his delight with the comfort and reliability of the car. Commercially, the Dyna X nevertheless got off to a hesitant start when compared to the Renault 4CV, which appeared around the same time and which would head the French auto sales charts for much of the 1950s, and the Citroen 2CV, which also caught the mood of the market. Critically, both Renault and Citroen were able to support their sales with a far more extensive national network of dealers and service outlets than that established by Panhard. Sources differ as to the number of Dynas produced: according to a conservative source, by 1954 a respectable 47,049 Dyna X's had been built, including 33,093 of the four-door berlines. Devin-Panhard In 1954, a French car dealer in Hollywood found itself with a number of complete Panhard chassis and engines and sold them to racer Bill Devin, who quickly developed a fibreglass roadster body and marketed them as Devin-Panhards. The cars were available fully built or in kit form. Approximately twelve were built. The 750 or 850 cc engines were also available with modified Manx Norton motorcycle cylinder heads. This may have been the first-ever automotive use of belt-driven (double, in this case) overhead camshafts.

Burial is the first album by the Norwegian Christian metal band Extol. It was released on Endtime Productions and then Solid State Records the following year. According to Allmusic, Burial was "a breath of fresh air among a genre that relies on satanic gimmicks", and marked a renewal in the Christian metal scene. In 2010, HM magazine ranked it #13 on the Top 100 Christian metal albums of all-time list. Recording Burial was recorded at Børud Lydskredderi, Norway, mastered at The Mastering Room, and released on 22 December 1998. Burial was the first release by the Swedish record label Endtime Productions. Critics and fans usually categorize the album's style as either death/black metal or simply metal because it contains elements of several subgenres of heavy metal music. The notable black metal elements on the album include the high-pitched shrieking vocals of Peter Espevoll, some black metal tremolo riffs, such as on "Innbydelse", and the slightly raw sound production. However, the album's overall atmosphere is not particularly dark or cold; on several songs the soundscape contains happy sounding elements such as the cheerful power metal vocals of the guitarist Ole Børud, creating tensions between the darker elements. The musical output of Burial is a combination of power metal, old school death metal and traditional heavy metal, and the latter style is especially apparent on the main riff of "Renhetens Elv". Additionally, the songs contain interludes that include elements of industrial music, such as on the song "Justified", jazz and classical music, such as on the song "Tears of Bitterness". The guest musician Maria Riddervold played violin on the songs "Embraced" and "Tears of Bitterness". The musicianship on Burial is virtuoisic, taking the style a step towards technical death metal and progressive death metal, technically exceptionally precise, and contains experimental, bizarre song structures. One critic wrote that the album's style "varies from extremely aggressive discharges to beautiful guitar harmonies, while the main focus relies on twisted riffs and ferocious directions." "Renhetens Elv" and "Innbydelse" are written in Norwegian, and the rest are in English. Many critics and fans regard the last song, "Jesus Kom Til Jorden For Å Dø", as the highlight of the album. "Jesus Kom Til Jorden For Å Dø" (Norwegian for "Jesus came to world to die") is a song arranged by Arnold Børud, and it is a hymn-like, doom metal-esque and folkish piece. Arnold Børud also played the organs on the song. Reception During the time Burial was released, Extol was described as Norway's second best band by the Norwegian magazine Scream. The album was considered a breath of fresh air in the death metal genre that had run stale for years. It received good reviews from the secular metal press.

The Armistice of Cormòns was signed in Cormons on 12 August 1866, between the Kingdom of Italy (represented by General Count Agostino Petitti Bagliani di Roreto) and the Austrian Empire (represented by General Baron Karl Möring) and was a prelude to the Treaty of Vienna, which ended the Third Italian War of Independence. On 21 July 1866 the victorious Prussia, which had just inflicted a decisive defeat on the Austrian army at the Battle of Königgrätz, signed the Armistice of Nikolsburg (without consulting the Italian allies). In the same days the Italian Navy was defeated in the Battle of Lissa. On the contrary the Royal Italian Army was taking advantage of the redeployment of many Austrian units to the northern front. Garibaldi's volunteers, reinforced by regular units, gained terrain by invading Trentino and achieved a victory at Bezzecca; the main Italian army led by General Enrico Cialdini reached Udine, while a secondary army led by General Alfonso La Marmora was contemporary blocking some Austrian forces in the Quadrilatero fortresses. After the armistice of Nikolsburg, the Italian General Staff ordered to withdraw from Trentino (which was too tied to the Habsburg Empire to be claimed). Garibaldi replied by telegraph with a sentence that became famous: Obbedisco ("I obey"). Soon after Prussia and Austria signed the Peace of Prague, while the definitive peace between Italy and Austria was ratified only on 3 October 1866 by the Treaty of Vienna, with the mediation of Napoleon III. The Austrian Empire recognized formally the Kingdom of Italy and ceded Venetia (that comprised the Province of Mantua, Veneto valley and western Friuli) to the French Empire, which in turn ceded it to Italy. This represented the final dissolution of the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia, as mainland Lombardy (less Mantua province) had been ceded to Sardinia-Piedmont by the Treaty of Zürich in 1859.

Lukasa, "the long hand" (or claw), is a memory device that was created, manipulated and protected by the Bambudye, a once powerful secret society of the Luba. Lukasa are examples of Luba art. History The story of the lukasa is closely associated with the history of the Luba kingdom, which dominated most of northern Shaba during the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century. No candidate for political office could receive his title without first becoming a member of the Bambudye society, and the ruler of the Luba kingdom held the highest ranking Bambudye title. Reefe states that while it is not possible to date the origins of the lukasa, the high degree of integration of the lukasa into the structure of the Bambudye society and into the oral lore of the Luba kingdom strongly suggests that this art form is of considerable antiquity. Usage Central to Luba artistry, lukasa aids memory and the making of histories. Stools, staffs, figures, and complex choreographies complement the lukasa as Luba culture is remembered, produced, and transformed. Lukasa memory boards are hourglass-shaped wooden tablets that are covered with multicolored beads, shells and bits of metal, or are incised or embossed with carved symbols. The colors and configurations of beads or ideograms serve to stimulate the recollection of important people, places, things, relationships and events as court historians narrate the origins of Luba authority. A lukasa serves as an archive for the topographical and chronological mapping of political histories and other data sets. Lukasa are approximately the same size (20-25 centimeters long and about 13 centimeters wide) and have the same rectangular dish shape. A row of carved mounds called lukala runs across their concave surface, dividing it in half. Beads and shells are attached to the board by small slivers of wood or hand-made iron wedges driven through their centers, and cowrie shells are frequently attached at the top and bottom. Beads are arranged in three ways: a large bead surrounded by smaller beads, a line of beads, and one isolated bead. Each configuration lends itself to the transmission of certain kinds of information. Board surfaces also have holes and lines cut into them. Court historians known as bana balute ("men of memory") run their fingertips across the surface of a lukasa or point to its features while reciting genealogies, king lists, maps of protocol, migration stories, and the great Luba Epic, a preeminent oral narrative that records how the culture heroes, Mbidi Kiluwe and his son Kalala Ilunga, introduced royal political practices and etiquette. For Luba, how an object looks dictates how well it works. Culture heroes are identifiable by beads whose colors have a fan of connotations triggering remembrance of their deeds and exploits, as well as their qualities and physical appearance. For example, Nkongolo Mwamba, the tyrannical anti-hero of the Luba charter, is always represented by a red bead, for he is the red-skinned rainbow-serpent associated with bloody violence. Blue beads (considered "black") stand for Mbidi Kiluwe, the protagonist and culture-bearer of kingship whose skin is shiningly black like that of a bull buffalo, symbol of ambivalent power and secret potential. The paths of Luba migration and significant events and relationships are indicated by lines and clusters of beads. Chiefs and their counselors, sacred enclosures, and defined places are shown by circles of beads. Mbudye Mbudye is a council of men and women charged with sustaining and interpreting the political and historical principles of the Luba state. As authorities on the tenets of Luba society, Mbudye provide a counterbalance to the power of kings and chiefs, checking or reinforcing it as necessary. Members of Mbudye proceed through a series of stages within the society as they master successive levels of arcane knowledge. Only those at the apex of the association can decipher and interpret the lukasa's intricate designs and motifs. Mbudye members call the twin projections sprouting along the board's outer edge the "head" and "tail" of the lukasa, zoomorphic elements that are meant to evoke the crocodile. An animal equally at home on land and in water, the crocodile's dual nature is suggestive of Luba political organization, whose existence relies on the interdependence of the kikungulu (the head of the Mbudye) and the kaloba (the "owner of the land", or chief). Types The lukasa fulfilled many mnemonic functions, for it could be interpreted in a number of ways, and while all memory boards shared certain common information, particular types of memory boards communicated specialized data. There were three distinct categories of lukasa, each emphasizing a certain kind of knowledge. First, the lukasa Iwa nkunda, "the long hand of the pigeon", bears information on mythical heroes and early rulers and on the mythical migration routes of the Luba. Second, the lukasa Iwa kabemba, "the long hand of the hawk", is concerned with the organization of the Mbudye society. A third type of memory board was created for the use of individual Luba rulers and contained secret information about divine chiefship. No examples of this type, referred to as the lukasa Iwa kitenta, "the long hand of the sacred pool", still exist. References African art

Ferdinand Julian Egeberg (23 November 1842 – 12 September 1921) was a Norwegian military officer, chamberlain and timber merchant. He is remembered for having founded the sports prize Egebergs Ærespris, which was regarded as the highest achievement in Norwegian sport. Personal life Egeberg was born in Moss in Østfold, Norway. He was the son of merchant Peder Cappelen Egeberg and Hanna Wilhelmine Scheel. He was a brother of Einar Westye Egeberg, Sr. and a grandson of Westye Egeberg. He married Lucy Parr in 1876. Their son Westye Parr Egeberg was a notable landowner. Through their daughter Esther Lucy Egeberg he was grandfather of painter and writer Ferdinand Finne. He died in Tolga in 1921, aged 78. Career Egeberg was a naval officer from 1863, and served in the British Royal Navy from 1865. He was first lieutenant à la suite from 1874, and discharged in 1875. Together with his brother Einar, he took over his family's Christiania-based timber company Westye Egeberg & Co in 1874, after the death of their father. He was an associate from 1879. He served as Cabinet Chamberlain () for Oscar II of Sweden from 1887 to 1905. Egeberg was decorated as a Knight, First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav in 1891. He was a Commander, First Class of the Danish Order of the Dannebrog, Knight Grand Officer of the Order of the Crown of Italy, Officer of the French Légion d'honneur, Commander of the Spanish Order of Charles III, Knight Grand Officer of the Spanish Order of Isabella the Catholic and the Swedish Order of the Polar Star, and recipient of King Oscar II's Anniversary Medal. Egebergs Ærespris Upon his 75th birthday in 1917, Egeberg donated to the sports association Norges Riksforbund for Idræt. The donation was basis for the sports prize Kabinetskammerherre Egebergs ærespris for alsidig idrett. According to the original statutes approved in 1920, the fund's interests should be used for a statuette given to a sportsperson who, during the last two years, had excelled in one sport and also showed eminent performances in another, completely different sport. Egeberg also funded a design competition for the trophy, won by sculptor Magnus Vigrestad. The statuette became regarded as the highest achievement in Norwegian sport at the time. The first prize was awarded for 1918. The statutes have changed slightly over the years. Today the prize is awarded by the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports, and given to Norwegian sports people who have excelled nationally in at least two sports, and excelled internationally in at least one of these.

The Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF) is an Australian independent film festival featuring mostly genre, controversial, transgressive and avant garde material. History The Melbourne Underground Film Festival was formed out of disagreements over the content and running of the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF). When director Richard Wolstencroft's film Pearls Before Swine was not accepted by the Melbourne International Film Festival, Wolstencroft claimed it was because his film was too confrontational for the tastes of MIFF. As a response to the film's rejection by MIFF, Wolstencroft founded MUFF in 2000 as an alternative independent film festival, featuring mostly genre, controversial, transgressive and avant garde material. However, this is ironic as the cult film NEKRomantik was denied from being screened at the festival in 2001. MUFF has been known for controversy with a screening of Bruce LaBruce's LA Zombie gaining worldwide attention including coverage in the New York Times. Over the years, the festival has been outspoken on the need to make more local genre films, and has championed many issues of freedom of speech and outsider politics and ideas.{{ The festival has also discovered (first world festival to show the work of) Australian directors like James Wan, Greg McLean, Scott Ryan, Spierig brothers, Stuart Simpson, Patrick Hughes, Andrew Traucki, Dave de Vries, David Nerlich, Neil McGregor, Mark Savage and many others. International Guests of MUFF have included Bruce LaBruce, Lloyd Kaufman, William Lustig, Ron Jeremy, American film director Chris Folino, Michael Tierney, Peter Christopherson, Jim Van Bebber, Bret Easton Ellis, Gene Gregorits, Terry McMahon and Geretta Geretta.

The siege of Székesfehérvár started in the month of August in 1543 when the Ottomans laid siege to the fortress. Székesfehérvár was a key fortification in the frontier area extending in the western foreground of Budin. In 1543 the garrison numbered 6,000 troops. On 22 August 1543 the Ottomans laid siege to the castle from three directions. On September 2 the Ottomans started a general attack against the fortress, they captured the outer castle. The next day the defenders in the inner castle surrendered to the Ottomans. It was turned into a sanjak of the province of Budin. Background Székesfehérvár, the city where Hungarian kings were crowned, was a key fortification in the frontier area extending in the western foreground of Budin (Buda). During the civil war that broke out after the death of King Lajos (Louis), at the Battle of Mohács, in 1526, Székesfehérvár joined the side of János Zápolya and remained loyal until Zápolya's death on July 22, 1540. Afterwards, the city defected and joined the side of Ferdinand I of Habsburg. By 1543, the garrison of the important city numbered about 6,000 troops under the command of Habsburg captain György Varkocs. Sultan Suleiman's campaign In 1543, Sultan Suleiman went on a major campaign into Hungary: his goal was to take two ancient cities: Székesfehérvár and Esztergom. From Edirne, he marched to Belgrade, then into Slavonia, where he took Valpovo, crossed the Drava River and during his march north, he took Siklós, Pécs, Máré, Szászvár, and Sióagárd. The Sultan continued his march north and, on July 26, besieged Esztergom, which he took on August 7. On August 8, Suleiman entered the castle and had the basilica inside the castle converted into a mosque. Ottoman forces left Esztergom on August 16, and marched south. Siege of Székesfehérvár On August 20, 1543, the Ottoman army arrived at Székesfehérvár. By August 22, the city was besieged on three sides and, during the following week, battles were fought in the fields outside the city. While the Ottoman army besieged the city, Tatar raiders plundered and burned the region around the city. While the soldiers stood strong, later in the siege the civilian residents, fearing they might incur the wrath of the Ottomans for a lengthy siege, began to ask for surrender. On September 2, the Ottomans started a general attack against the fortress. György Varkocs and his men made a sally to attack the siege army but were forced to retreat. Ottoman Chronicler Sinân Çavuş recorded that when Varkocs and his men returned to the gate, the leaders of the wealthy citizens inside the inner castle closed the gate. Varkocs' men shouted: “Open the gate quickly, because things have turned bad for us!”  The civilians blocked the gate from the within, raised the bridge, and answered the stranded soldiers: “The Türk is not scary; why are you afraid of the Türk?  Go, fight with him and kill them all!”  Surrounded, György Varkocs and his soldiers died a heroic death in front of the Budai gate bridge and the Ottomans captured the outer castle. The following morning, on September 3, The residents in the inner castle surrendered to the Ottomans. Though the people of the city were given the right to leave safely with their possessions, residents that were responsible for the defection to the Habsburgs were executed for their betrayal. Also contrary to the terms of the surrender, Ulama Hân Beğ [tr], the sanjakbey (governor) of Bosnia, took many beautiful young men from Székesfehérvár and the castle of Tata as captives. Afterwards On September 16, the Sultan's army left Székesfehérvár and arrived in Buda on September 21.  From Buda, Suleyman marched to Varadin, then to Belgrade, and returned to Istanbul on November 16. The city of Székesfehérvár and region is made into a sanjak belonging to the eyalet (province) of Budin (Buda).. On June 19, 1547, the Treaty of Istanbul was signed between the Archduchy of Austria and the Ottoman Empire. With the agreement, which included the Holy Roman Empire, Ferdinand and Charles V agreed to ensure that eastern Hungary was under the control of the Ottoman Empire and to give the Ottoman Empire 30,000 gold florins annually for western and northern Hungary held by the Habsburg Dynasty.

The National Corporate Party () was a fascist political party in Ireland founded by Eoin O'Duffy in June 1935 at a meeting of 500. It split from Fine Gael when O'Duffy was removed as leader of that party, which had been founded by the merger of O'Duffy's Blueshirts, formally known as the National Guard or Army Comrades Association, with Cumann na nGaedheal, and the National Centre Party. The National Corporate Party wished to establish a corporate state in Ireland and was strongly anti-communist. Its military wing was the Greenshirts. Around eighty of the Blueshirts later became Greenshirts. The party raised funds through public dances. Unlike the Blueshirts, whose aim had been the establishment of a corporate state while remaining within the British Commonwealth in order to appease moderates within Fine Gael, the National Corporate Party was committed to the establishment of a republic outside of the British Empire with O'Duffy presenting his party as the true successor to the ideals of the Easter Rising. The party also committed itself to the preservation and promotion of the Irish language and Gaelic culture, something that would be echoed by a later fascist party in Ireland, Ailtirí na hAiséirghe. It failed to gain much support however, with the majority of Fine Gael members remaining loyal to that party and O'Duffy only securing a handful of loyal supporters for his group. O'Duffy left Ireland in 1936 to lead a volunteer Irish Brigade in the Spanish Civil War, an action which led to further decline in the National Corporate Party. He retired on his return in 1937. Without him, both the Greenshirts and National Corporate Party faded away. The party was defunct by 1937.

Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, is considering introducing light rail lines to replace some of its most heavily used bus routes. Many of these new light rail lines, if built, would reuse the routes of Auckland's former tram system. Light rail systems have been proposed in Auckland throughout the late-20th and 21st centuries following the closure of the tram system in the 1950s. In 2015, the city's transport agency Auckland Transport proposed a new light rail network - with a focus on a line between the Auckland CBD and Auckland Airport. In subsequent years, various technology types and modes have been proposed by local and central government - including traditional street tramways and light metro. The most recent form of the project, proposed by the Sixth Labour Government of New Zealand, would see the construction of a hybrid underground/surface route. History Background Auckland was served by a network of traditional tramcar routes with horse-drawn trams (1884–1902) and electric trams (1902–1956). The original tram network was in length at its fullest extent from the mid-1930s until closures began in 1949. Initial proposals In 2015, Steve Hawkins, Auckland Transport's Chief Engineer, said that the bus routes on Symonds Street and Fanshawe Street require as many as 150 buses each. The light rail study is considering replacing the bus routes on Dominion Road, Manukau Road, Mt Eden Road, Symonds Street and Queen St with light rail routes. All of these bus routes replaced routes on Auckland's former tram network. Stuff quoted Auckland Transport officials who described how the study was considering the option of building light rail routes with dedicated right of way versus routes where rail vehicles shared the road with other vehicles, as with a traditional streetcar system. Officials projected that the maximum passenger capacity of a segregated light rail line would be 18,000 passengers per hour, while that of a street-running system would be 12,000 passengers per hour. This compares with a bus on a shared path shifting 2,500 people and a bus on a priority path's 6,000 people an hour. In 2015, then Auckland Mayor Len Brown pointed out that the city's ten-year plan did not include funding for building new light rail routes. A line from the airport east to Botany Downs has also been proposed with a new interchange at Puhinui railway station, planned to be built in two stages, the first of which is said to be an early deliverable component of the Airport to Botany rapid transit line, planned to be operational by the end of 2020/early 2021. This encompasses a new at-grade bus/rail interchange and enhanced station. Buses will still use the existing local road (Bridge Street) to cross the railway line to/from Manukau, along with local traffic. The second phase provides a rapid transit overbridge across the railway line to provide a more direct and bespoke rapid transit connection. The new rapid transit link will integrate with the new interchange station on the overbridge. The first stage is estimated to cost $59 million to construct. The line will also go through Manukau railway station before ending in Botany. On 26 April 2018, Mayor Phil Goff and Transport Minister Phil Twyford announced the Auckland Transport Alignment Project 2018 with $NZ28 billion of investment in Auckland transport infrastructure over ten years, including the fast-tracking of light rail to Auckland International Airport. On 9 May 2018, in a pre-Budget announcement, Twyford and Finance Minister Grant Robertson made the surprise announcement that work on two routes would commence immediately, with an open-tender process for funding, construction, and operation of the lines: A line from Wynyard Quarter along Queen Street with one route to Auckland Airport via Dominion Road. A second line, also travelling along Queen Street, then via Karangahape Road and Great North Road to Westgate via a Northwestern Motorway dedicated light-rail corridor, with extensions indicated to Kumeū and Huapai, running past the currently disused Kumeū and Huapai railway stations on the North Auckland Line. Passenger services on the Western Line do not currently operate north of Swanson and do not serve these stations. In May 2018, it was announced that the New Zealand Superannuation Fund had expressed an interest in financing, designing, building and operating Auckland's light rail network, in a consortium with CDPQ Infra, a Canadian infrastructure company. The consortium was named NZ Infra. By early 2019, the cost of the two lines had been estimated at $6 billion, with an underground alignment through Queen St under consideration. In August 2019, Mayor Phil Goff announced that work on the light rail network might begin the following year. The same month, two delivery partners for the project were shortlisted; NZ Infra and NZ Transport Agency, but it was stated that a 2020 start date would be unlikely. By late 2019, two different types of technology were being considered by the New Zealand Ministry of Transport. The original proposal from the New Zealand Transport Agency consisted of surface level light rail; the other from NZ Super Fund explored fully grade-separated, driverless light metro technology, with an underground alignment through Queen St and elevated sections elsewhere, with fewer stations between the city centre and airport. In May 2020, it was reported that the light rail project had been placed on hold due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand. In June, Twyford confirmed that the Ministry of Transport was still committed to the project, but as a fully grade-separated light metro line between the city and airport; stating that "Our policy is that light metro is the form of rapid transit that Auckland needs. We've decided very clearly that we need a rapid transit system that's not competing with pedestrians and other cars in the road corridor. A light metro system just like you see in London, New York, Tokyo, Paris, is actually faster and more efficient. It would allow you to get from Queen St to the Airport in 30 minutes as opposed to the 47 minutes that was projected for the old streetcar model Auckland Transport developed." The ministry did not release the updated cost of the new light metro proposal, or any time frame for its construction. However industry commentators have estimated the decision to use the metro mode will increase cost of the two lines from $6 billion to more than $20 billion, with a new design and construction period of 8 to 10 years beginning from 2021 at the earliest. Final proposal In January 2022, the New Zealand government confirmed it had endorsed a $14.6 billion "Tunnelled Light Rail" line from the city centre to the airport, featuring an underground line between the city centre and Mount Roskill, which would then emerge to the surface and continue to the airport via Māngere. Minister for Transport Michael Wood indicated construction could begin in 2023 and last six to seven years. Potential cancellation Following the 2023 General Election, the incoming Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, told media that his government would be cancelling the project "because it’s a white elephant”. However, Auckland mayor Wayne Brown contended that the project could be built at a fraction of the cost of previous options, citing overseas projects such as the light rail network in the French city of Angers which cost just $53 million per kilometre, against the $375 million which he described as being the current cheapest option for the route. Route The City Centre-Māngere line is, as of 2022, proposed to run from Wynyard Quarter to Auckland Airport; via the Auckland CBD, University of Auckland, Kingsland railway station, Wesley, Mount Roskill, Onehunga and Māngere. There would be a total of 18 stops with trains running every five minutes. While the line between Wynyard Quarter and Mount Roskill would be tunnelled, the rest of the network would be a surface line running alongside State Highway 20.

The Colorado Cricket League is a non-profit, eight-clubs with 9 teams cricket organization based in the state of Colorado. The league was formalized in 1985. History Cricket has been played in the United States of America since the early 1700s. Cricket has been played in Colorado since the mid-1800. Colorado cricketers Colin McHattie (Secretary), C. Srinivasan (Treasurer) and Dan Ruparel (President), founded what is now known as the Colorado Cricket League. Ruparel has remained active with the league and the Littleton Cricket Club, McHattie is in Texas and Srinivasan in India. They received endorsements from the five teams that played cricket at that time: The Boulder Cricket Club, The Colorado Cricket Club, The Denver Cricket club, The International Cricket Club of CSU, and The Pakistan Cricket Club. None of these clubs are in existence today, except the CSU Cricket Club (see below) has the most direct roots to its predecessor. Games were initially played on grassy pitches, which were often uncut with a jute mat laid on top. In 1994 the league switched to concrete-based, carpeted wickets. Neutral umpires were introduced in 1985. The catalyst that spurred the creation of the Colorado cricket League in 1985 was for hope and expectation to have our players to try out for the US National Cricket team by participating in tournaments in Kansas and Oklahoma, which were part of the USACA's former Central Zone. Unfortunately due to politics the trials were a farce. A year later, the Colorado cricket League pulled out of the USACA in protest, leading a number other leagues to do the same for the same reason - politics. Prior to 1985, the "league" was comprised on 5 team from Colorado Springs, Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins. Games were scheduled by the team captains calling each other to schedule games for the following weekend. If the team was busy with a game with another team or with a community social event, then a verbal commitment was made to play the next available weekend. The captain would then call a representative of another side to get a match scheduled for that weekend. If it worked, a match was played, otherwise the team would end up either playing an intra-squad practice or game and wait for the following weekend. Upon formalizing the League, schedules were drawn up, standards were created where initially 35 over per inning matches were played. This was changed to 35 in the second year (1986); and in 1992, 40 overs per inning was adopted. One other important modification was adopted - that of neutral umpires. With 5 teams in the league, there was always an idle side. The idle team were responsible to send their more senior players, who it was expected, knew the rules the best, to umpire the matches. Over the years since then the league has made major strides - hosting invitationals, festivals and tournaments and has played in tournaments in California, Utah, Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma. Championships CCL participates in the Central Western region's annual championship. In 2004 CCL won the plate trophy. In 2006 CCL took second place. Afan Sheriff represented Central West and was declared MVP of the western conference tournament. Organization In 1985 CCL was officially incorporated as a non-profit organization. The league runs a cricket tournament which takes place from May to September each year and involves approximately 300 players. Clubs and teams The CCL is made up of eight clubs and nine teams.

In 2008 Rockers team won the league format of this tournament. In 2010, Orchard won the tournament, while Spartans were runners up. Website In 2004 two of the league's members, Michael Doig and Jarrar Jaffari, recognized the need for a central repository for tracking schedules, scorecards, standings, teams and players. Realizing that the web would be most efficient they set about programming and designing the CCL Official Website, driven by the popular PHP language and MYSQL database. The idea was to design a website that would allow a small group of cricket enthusiasts to easily manage a dynamic cricketing portal. This was achieved due to the steadfast dedication of Doig and Jaffari. Today the CCL boasts detailed news analysis and statistics of each of its games dating well back into the 1990s. It can be proud that it stands strong and well above many cricketing leagues on the planet for its comprehensive coverage and passion.

Johan Wilhelm Carl Way (11 June 1792, Rute, Gotland - 10 April 1873, Stockholm), was a Swedish professor, portrait painter, graphic artist, military officer and writer. Biography As a young man, he accompanied his father, the shipbuilder , on trips to London, and received his first drawing lessons there in 1807. Initially, he pursued a military career, as a second-lieutenant in the Wendes Artillery Regiment. He later wrote a book about his experiences on a campaign to Germany in 1813, where he served as an adjutant to Commander . He resigned in 1819, with the rank of Lieutenant. After that, he studied abroad; notably in Brussels with Marie de Latour and her son, Alexandre de Latour, who taught him how to paint miniatures. In 1826, he studied glass painting in Paris, and may have learned engraving from Fredrik Boije. The following year, he married the artist Marie Therese Hästesko (1807-1866), from a noble family. Shortly after, he established a colored glass factory in Uppsala, at his own expense. In the 1830s, he initiated the art museum at Uppsala University, where he served as a drawing master from 1831 to 1872. He became the museum's prefect in 1858. During the 1840s, he oversaw the reconstruction of the Gustavianum, the university's oldest building, and helped design the new Uppsala Observatory (opened in 1853). From 1842 to 1848, he also taught at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts and, in 1843, succeeded Jacob Axel Gillberg as the professor of miniature painting. He was appointed the official court painter for miniatures in 1846. He eventually created over 100 of them. His best-known works include the stained glass windows in the Gustavian style burial vault at Uppsala Cathedral; created from 1831 to 1841. Before beginning work on the windows, he made study trips to England, France and Munich, Germany to perfect his craft. The Royal Academy reimbursed him for some of his travels after he became a teacher there; having previously refused to provide any funds. From the 820s through 1860, he participated in ten of the academy's exhibitions. His last major showing was in 1872, at the in Copenhagen. Many of his works were made into lithographs. He is represented in the collections of most of the major museums in Sweden, as well as the in Pau, France.

TSS Dover, (later the Earl Siward, Sol Express and now the Tuxedo Royale), was a British ferry. Built in 1965 as a roll-on/roll-off (RORO) ferry, she spent much of her later life as one of the permanently moored Tuxedo floating nightclubs before being laid up, latterly on the River Tees in Middlesbrough. TSS Dover was built on the River Tyne in England by Swan Hunter in Wallsend, Tyne and Wear. She was launched on 17 March 1965 and completed by June 1965. In 1977 she was renamed Earl Siward, and again in 1982 as the Sol Express. In 1993 she became the nightclub the Tuxedo Royale. Entered the National Historic ships register in 2016 and spent a period waiting to be restored by the Tuxedo Royale Restoration project. On 1 June 2017 Tuxedo Royale was badly damaged by fire. On 18 January 2018 Able UK announced that seven years after the owners went into administration, and with the lack of "any credible plans to move and restore the ship" the dismantling had begun.

Valtteri Filppula (born 20 March 1984) is a Finnish professional ice hockey forward for Genève-Servette HC of the National League (NL). Filppula won the Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings in 2008. He has previously played with the Red Wings, Tampa Bay Lightning, Philadelphia Flyers, and New York Islanders. He led Finland to a gold medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics and the 2022 IIHF World Championship, which made him the first Finnish member of the Triple Gold Club. Playing career Detroit Red Wings (2005–2013) Filppula was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in the third round, 95th overall, in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. He started his hockey career with the Jokerit organization and secured his place in the SM-liiga team in the 2003–04 season as an offensive forward. He won the SM-liiga silver medal with Jokerit in 2005 and was set to become the team's number one center for the next season. However, Filppula moved to North America to play for the Grand Rapids Griffins of the American Hockey League (AHL), the top minor league affiliate of the Detroit Red Wings. He was selected to play for PlanetUSA in the 2005–06 AHL All-Star Game. On 15 December 2005, Filppula made his NHL debut with the Red Wings, becoming the first Finnish player ever to play an NHL game for Detroit. He scored his first NHL goal on 28 October 2006, against former Red Wing goaltender Manny Legace in a game against the St. Louis Blues. He then scored his first playoff career goal in Game 1 of the 2007 Stanley Cup playoffs against the Calgary Flames on 12 April 2007, his first post-season game. Filppula continued playing for the Red Wings and scored 36 points in his third season for the team in the 2007–08 season. He won his first Stanley Cup when Red Wings defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in six games in the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals. He scored the second goal for Detroit in the decisive sixth game of the series, in which the Red Wings won 3–2. On 30 July 2008, Filppula signed a five-year, $15-million contract extension with Detroit, avoiding salary arbitration. On 21 September 2012, Filppula signed with his former team club Jokerit in Finland due to the 2012–13 NHL lockout that halted play. He returned to the Red Wings after the lockout, as his contract with Jokerit was signed to last as long as the lockout did. Tampa Bay Lightning (2013–2017) On 5 July 2013, Filppula signed a five-year, $25 million contract as an unrestricted free agent with the Tampa Bay Lightning. On 1 December 2014, Filppula recorded his 200th NHL assist in a 6–3 Tampa Bay Lightning win over the New York Rangers. On 6 January 2015, Filppula played in his 600th NHL game in a 4–2 Lightning win over the Montreal Canadiens. Philadelphia Flyers (2017–2018) The Lightning dealt Filppula on 1 March 2017, hours before the NHL Trade Deadline, to the Philadelphia Flyers, along with a 2017 4th-round draft pick and a conditional 7th-round draft pick, in exchange for defenseman Mark Streit. Streit was immediately traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a draft pick. The moves allowed for Tampa Bay to clear Filppula's $5 million salary cap hit and protect another player in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft due to his no-trade clause. Filppula reportedly rejected a transaction two days earlier that would've sent him to the Toronto Maple Leafs along with Lightning teammate Brian Boyle. Filppula made his Flyers debut on 2 March, a 2–1 shootout win against the Florida Panthers in which he scored the tying goal and was awarded the game's third star.

"Dirty Water" is a song by the American rock band The Standells, written by their producer Ed Cobb. The song is a mock paean to the city of Boston, Massachusetts, and its then-famously polluted Boston Harbor and Charles River. History According to Standells keyboardist Larry Tamblyn, at least some of the song (notably the references to "lovers and thieves") was inspired by a mugging of Cobb in Boston. In addition to the river, other local interest items in the song include the Boston University women's curfew—"Frustrated women ... have to be in by 12 o'clock"—and a passing mention of the Boston Strangler—"have you heard about the Strangler? (I'm the man I'm the man)." Reception First issued in late 1965 on the Tower label, a subsidiary of Capitol Records, the song debuted April 30, 1966 on the Cash Box charts and peaked at #8. It reached #11 on the Billboard singles charts on June 11. It was the band's first major hit single; their earlier charting record, "The Boy Next Door", had only reached #102 on Billboard'''s Bubbling Under chart in February 1966. Although "Dirty Water" is beloved by the city of Boston and its sports fans, the song first became a hit in the state of Florida, breaking out on WLOF in Orlando in January 1966.Dirty Water was also the title of the Standells' most successful LP, their only nationally charting album. This LP charted on both Billboard and Cash Box magazines' charts, peaking at #52 and #39, respectively, during the summer of 1966. The song is traditionally played by Boston sports teams following home victories. The National Hockey League's Boston Bruins began playing the song in 1995, and Major League Baseball's Boston Red Sox followed suit after home victories beginning in the 1997 season. The surviving Standells have performed the song at Fenway Park from atop the Green Monster. The song's famous guitar riff was recorded with a Fender Telecaster through a Vox AC30 amplifier by Standells guitarist Tony Valentino. The song is also included in the soundtrack for the film Fever Pitch, which includes the Boston Red Sox leading up to the 2004 World Series. "Dirty Water" was included in the influential compilation album Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968, and is listed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll". Though the song is credited solely to Cobb, band members Dodd, Valentino, and Tamblyn have claimed substantial material-of-fact song composition copyright contributions to it as well as contributing to its arrangement. Personnel Dick Dodd – drums, lead vocal Gary Lane – backing vocal, bass guitar Larry Tamblyn – backing vocal, Vox Continental organ Tony Valentino – backing vocal, electric guitar, harmonica Chart history Covers and samples British garage rock revivalists The Inmates covered "Dirty Water" in 1979 (and replaced Boston and the Charles with London and the River Thames), a version which was a moderate hit and reached #51 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in January 1980. This song was promoted with customized promo versions recorded for many towns distributed to radio stations. For example, the promo copy played on Jackson, Mississippi's WZZQ said "Pearl River" and "Jackson you're my home". The song is sampled at the beginning of "These Are the Days", the first track on The Ducky Boys' 1998 album Dark Days. Boston punk band Dropkick Murphys often include the song in live sets, such as the one documented on 2002's Live on St. Patrick's Day From Boston, MA and at the 2007 and 2018 Boston Red Sox baseball World Series victory rolling parades. A version recorded with The Mighty Mighty Bosstones' Dicky Barrett was released on Fenway Recordings' 2002 compilation In Our Lifetime, Vol. 3: The Revenge of Boston. Icelandic indie band Singapore Sling covered it in its 2002 debut album The Curse of Singapore Sling, released in North America and Europe the following year. Former Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo's 2005 cover album, Covering the Bases'', includes a version of the song. The Buffalo Sabres NHL team plays a cover version of this song before the beginning of the third period. This version substitutes River Charles with Niagara River, and Boston is replaced with Buffalo. "Weird Al" Yankovic covered the song during his March 4, 2018 evening show at The Wilbur Theater in Boston. Pearl Jam covered the song during their September 4, 2018 show at Fenway Park in Boston. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have covered the song on multiple occasions while playing in Boston, most recently during their March 20, 2023 show at the TD Garden.

The Eternity Trap is a two-part story of The Sarah Jane Adventures which was first broadcast on CBBC on 5 and 6 November 2009. It is the fourth serial of the third series. The story involves the scientific investigation of a haunted house. Plot In the 17th century, Lord Marchwood employed Erasmus Darkening, an alien trapped on Earth, to make gold out of base metals. Erasmus was secretly working on a transdimensional accelerator to create a portal to his own galaxy. While Marchwood's children spied on Erasmus, he used the accelerator to trap them between dimensions. Lord Marchwood confronted Erasmus and attacked the machine, causing it to malfunction. To maintain immortality, Erasmus used the energy from people he has trapped over the centuries with his technology. In the present, Professor Rivers and her assistant Toby perform a scientific investigation of ghost sightings at Lord Marchwood's manor. They are joined by Sarah Jane, Clyde, and Rani. A mysterious poltergeist-like entity begins manipulating objects, including writing the message "get out" on a mirror; this is Lord Marchwood trying to scare everyone off to avoid a similar fate. Erasmus uses the accelerator to take Professor Rivers, though she is yet to be fully absorbed by the manor. Lord Marchwood slays a creature that came to the manor during one of Erasmus' unsuccessful experiments. Aided by Lord Marchwood's sword as a conductor, Sarah Jane comes up with a plan to stop Erasmus by turning him into electricity. Erasmus is destroyed and Professor Rivers is returned. Sarah Jane destroys Erasmus' machine with the sonic lipstick. While Erasmus' victims were assumed destroyed as well, Lord Marchwood and his children appear in the window of the manor. Continuity Tommy Knight was not available for filming of this episode due to his GCSE exams. This story is therefore the first not to feature Luke Smith. As a result of this absence, Elisabeth Sladen is the only cast member to have appeared in every episode of the series. Other series mainstays such as Mr Smith, K9, Sarah Jane's attic and Rani's parents, Haresh and Gita, do not appear in this story. Novelisation Pearson Education published a simplified novelisation of this episode by Trevor Baxendale under the title The Haunted House for school literacy programs in September 2010.

The is the tentative name for an underground heavy rail line under construction, which will run north-south through Osaka City, primarily under the avenue . It has long been pursued by West Japan Railway Company (JR West) and Nankai Railway in order to connect the Yamatoji Line (Kansai Main Line) and Nankai Main Line with Shin-Osaka Station, greatly enhancing both companies' connections to Kansai Airport and Wakayama Prefecture. As of 18 March 2023, the tracks through the northern terminus at Osaka Station and adjoining platforms were opened for Haruka and Kuroshio services as well as ordinary trains on the Osaka Higashi Line. Background While both JR and Nankai operate trains to Wakayama (via the Hanwa Line and the Nankai Main Line, respectively) and to Kansai Airport (via the Kansai Airport Line and the Nankai Airport Line, respectively), neither route is ideal. For JR, trains must use the Osaka Loop Line past Tennoji Station, both creating and being affected by delays on that line, and bypassing JR Namba Station, the company's closest link to Osaka's commercial center. Additionally, until February 2023, express trains to Shin-Osaka and Kyoto used the , bypassing Osaka Station entirely. For Nankai, all trains go direct to its terminal in Namba, precluding links to points further north. The first proposals to alleviate the problems for both companies through the construction of a new underground line date back to 1982, with further proposals in 1989 and 2004. The line is intended to run primarily under the north-south thoroughfare Naniwasuji (hence the name), branching at its south end to connect both the Yamatoji Line (Kansai Main Line) terminal at JR Namba, and a Nankai line, with Shin-Osaka via a new underground route through what was then the Umeda Freight Terminal. The Umeda portion of this plan was eventually incorporated into Phase II of the Osaka Higashi Line, with provisions in place for eventual construction of the Naniwasuji Line itself. Ridership on the line from the two companies is expected to reach approximately 240,000 people per day. JR West The issue surrounding Osaka Station for JR is set to be alleviated in fiscal 2022 with the opening of the first section (incorporated into the Osaka Higashi Line project, although construction delays have pushed its opening back 4 years compared to the rest of Phase II), which will terminate at new underground platforms of Osaka Station on a route replacing the aboveground Umeda Freight Line. Without constructing an entirely new line through central Osaka, however, the other problems remain. JR West is expected to be in charge of the section between Umeda Station and JR Namba Station. Nankai Railway Early plans for Nankai called for moving the Shiomibashi Line (the northern end of the Kōya Line) underground and connecting to the Naniwasuji Line via Shiomibashi Station (thus upgrading and increasing traffic on an otherwise lightly traveled, local route), but the company ultimately rejected this routing in favor of one via a new underground station at Namba. Hankyu Railway Hankyu Railway has also announced tentative plans to build a new underground line connecting the Naniwasuji Line to Juso and another line from Juso to a Shin-Osaka Station of its own. The rail link from Osaka to Juso is called the Naniwasuji Link Line , and the rail link from Juso to Shin-Osaka is called the Hankyu Shin-Osaka Link Line . On 27 December 2022, , president of Hankyu Hanshin Holdings, said in an interview by the Sankei Shimbun that Hankyu would open both of these narrow-gauge lines at the same time as the Naniwasuji Line in 2031. History On 9 July 2019, the railway business was approved by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under the railway business act. Construction of the project was approved in February 2020. In February 2023, track switching work took place between the 11th and the 13th of that month (including the decomissioning of the former Umeda Freight Line). Before then, JR passenger trains used a single-track freight spur from Osaka Station to join the Osaka Loop Line at Nishi-Kujō. Track switching was finished within the allotted timeframe and the Haruka and Kuroshio have since been using the new tracks. The new underground platforms at Osaka Station opened for service on 18 March 2023. Current plans Current plans are to begin construction once the Osaka Higashi Line opens to Osaka Station, with completion anticipated in spring 2031. Total construction costs, including provisions for the line at Kita-Umeda, are projected to total 330 billion yen.

Protein kinase, X-linked is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRKX gene. Function This gene encodes a serine threonine protein kinase that has similarity to the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP dependent protein kinases. The encoded protein is developmentally regulated and may be involved in renal epithelial morphogenesis. This protein may also be involved in macrophage and granulocyte maturation. Abnormal recombination between this gene and a related pseudogene on chromosome Y is a frequent cause of sex reversal disorder in XX males and XY females. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes X, 15 and Y. Nomenclature Mouse ortholog for this gene, Prkx, is also known as Pkare. References Further reading

The entire election is scheduled into 7 phases. Predictions Opinion polls Various organisations/agencies have been conducting opinions polls to predict voter intentions in the upcoming legislative assembly elections. Exit polls Various organisations/agencies have been conducting Exit polls to predict voter intentions in the legislative assembly elections. Hindi newspaper Dainik Jagran had published an exit poll promoting BJP, after first phase of the election. This led to its editor being arrested for violating the ban on exit polls during the election. Result The election results for all 403 Legislative Assembly seats were declared on 11 March 2017. Region-wise Results by constituency Reactions After the BJP emerged as the majority party in the election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked the public in a tweet saying, "Gratitude to the people of India for the continued faith, support and affection for the BJP. This is very humbling & overwhelming." The BJP's UP chief Keshav Prasad Maurya attributed the victory to Modi saying, "It is a Modi wave. The wave which started with 2014 Lok Sabha elections is continuing in 2017 and the momentum will go beyond the 2019 general elections." Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi sent a tweet to Modi congratulating him for his party's victory, to which Modi replied, "Thank you. Long live democracy!" Modi was congratulated on the victory by U.S. President Donald Trump during a telephone conversation on 27 March 2017. The BBC wrote that the BJP "appears to have successfully forged a coalition of upper, middle-ranking and lower castes to be able to manipulate the social arithmetic of Indian elections". It also noted that the party successfully avoided the image of "doling out reckless patronage to a caste or group", which the BBC considered responsible for the SP's defeat. Bhanu Joshi of Delhi-based think tank Centre for Policy Research said, "He [Modi] has managed to go beyond the caste arithmetic. On the ground, the BJP is not perceived as a casteist party." Political scientist Milan Vaishnav felt that the election "represents a referendum on demonetisation". Vaishnav said, "Whether voters were bothered by the implementation of the policy or not, they clearly have decided that the PM is a man of action." BSP Leader and former Chief Minister Mayavati claimed that the BJP tampered with the Electronic Voting Machines (EVM) thereby rigging the election outcome. However, this charge was rejected by the Election Commission as well as other parties as lacking any substance.

The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Umbraculifera Gracilis' was obtained as a sport of 'Umbraculifera' by the Späth nursery of Berlin c.1897. It was marketed by the Späth nursery in the early 20th century, and by the Hesse Nursery of Weener, Germany, in the 1930s. Description The tree is distinguished by its long oval crown, but with thinner branches and smaller leaves than 'Umbraculifera'. Pests and diseases The cultivar is susceptible to Dutch elm disease. Cultivation The only known surviving specimens are in the United States and Scotland (see 'Accessions' and 'Notable trees'). Henry (1913) mentions no example at Kew, though a specimen had been planted there by 1902. A specimen obtained from Späth stood in the Ryston Hall arboretum, Norfolk, in the early 20th century. Notable trees Three trees supplied by Späth to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) in 1902 as U. campestris umbraculifera gracilis survive in Edinburgh (2019). The two oldest, planted in the Garden itself (one of which is base-grafted), were long known by an updated version of Melville's name for them, U. plotii × U. carpinifolia (:U. minor 'Plotii' × U. minor). It is known that Melville renamed some of Späth's trees at RBGE in 1958. These two were, according to one RBGE herbarium sheet, formerly called U. campestris umbraculifera (see 'External links'), the name of the parent tree (not present in RBGE) of 'Umbraculifera Gracilis'. A herbarium specimen from Amsterdam labelled U. carpinifolia Gled. f. 'Gracilis' var. (Späth) Rehd. matches the Edinburgh trees. Taken together, the evidence suggested that the three Edinburgh trees (the third, with smaller bole-girth, is on Bruntsfield Links) were the clone Späth supplied as U. campestris 'Umbraculifera Gracilis', an identification confirmed in 2016 by RBGE. It is not known why Melville was permitted to disregard the trees' documented Central Asian provenance, and pronounce them hybrids of Plot Elm, a local variety of English field elm.

Alfort Smith (7 July 1846 – 21 December 1908) was an English cricketer who kept wicket for Lancashire in 1867 and 1871 and for Derbyshire between 1873 and 1880. Life Smith was born in Bank Lane, near Bury Lancashire, but his parents moved to Glossop shortly after his birth. He became a cotton weaver, and started playing for Glossop cricket club in 1863 at the age of 16. He was a respected batsman and wicket-keeper at the club. He made his debut for Lancashire in 1867 against Yorkshire when he scored 2 and was not out for zero and held three catches behind the stumps. However, he did not play again until the 1871 season when he played against Derbyshire in their first outing. Smith was top scorer at 11 not out in Lancashire's record low innings score of 25, but his two catches and two stumpings were not enough to stave off defeat. He played two more matches for Lancashire and umpired one match. After a year out of the game, Smith transferred his allegiance to Derbyshire and played one match in the 1873 season which was a return match against his old side of Lancashire. In the 1875 season Smith became Derbyshire's regular wicket-keeper, and playing with bowlers such as William Mycroft, George Hay and William Hickton became reliable enough for the club to dispense with the services of George Frost as long-stop. He played regularly every year until 1880. Smith was a right-handed batsman and played 98 innings in 55 first-class matches at an average of 4.76 and a top score of 30. As wicket-keeper, he took 70 catches and stumped 12 times. He also bowled 16 balls without a wicket. In 1881 Smith was living with his family as a cotton weaver at Fitzallan Street Glossop Dale. He maintained his links with the game, umpiring several matches each year until 1901. He was given the Lancashire v Yorkshire match in August 1893 and after Yorkshire had been defeated by 5 runs, they complained because he had been born in Lancashire. Smith died at Glossop at the age of 62.

"Heaven Knows" is a song by American singer Donna Summer, with guest vocals from Brooklyn Dreams. It is a single from Summer's Live and More album. The song became a number 4 hit for Summer in the US the week of March 17, 1979, and held there for three weeks. It features the group Brooklyn Dreams with vocals by Joe "Bean" Esposito. On the single version released by Summer (credited as Donna Summer with Brooklyn Dreams), Brooklyn Dreams singer Joe "Bean" Esposito sings second lead to Summer on the verses while Summer sings the chorus. However, on the version that appears on Brooklyn Dreams's 1979 album, Sleepless Nights, it is Esposito who sings the lead vocal on the verses with Summer singing second lead, and with Summer and the group provide backing vocals on the chorus. On the group's album, this version is credited as Brooklyn Dreams with Donna Summer. A 12" single of Summer's version, at 6 minutes and 45 seconds, was prepared with the first verse sung by Summer solo, and the remaining verses with Summer and Esposito. It was unissued at the time but later appeared as a bonus track on a reissue of Sleepless Nights. Cash Box said of Summers' single version that "Esposito has a deep shimmering voice while Donna reigns during soaring moments." Record World said that the song is "as polished as you'd expect."

The Blackburn G.P seaplane, (the second aircraft (serial number 1416) was sometimes referred to as the Blackburn S.P. for Special Purpose), was a British twin-engine reconnaissance torpedo floatplane of the First World War, built by the Blackburn Aeroplane and Motor Co Ltd. Design and development The poor results obtained with the Blackburn T.B. prompted Blackburn to develop an anti-submarine floatplane designated the Blackburn G.P. (Blackburn General Purpose). The large seaplane that emerged had a crew of three, accommodated in a long slim fuselage. The first aircraft (s/n 1415) was powered by two handed Sunbeam Nubian engines driving four-bladed propellers, in nacelles sitting on the upper surface of the lower mainplanes. Cooling for the engines was achieved through vertical radiator blocks attached to the rear interplane struts on either side of the engine nacelles, which also supported the oil tanks for each engine. Construction of the aircraft was largely of wire-braced wood with fabric covering. The wings, of RAF34 section, were built in four sections, all with dihedral but the outer sections markedly so. The outer section upper mainplane extended past the lower mainplane and was supported by cables via kingposts, above the upper surface, over the outermost interplane struts. To facilitate storage the outer wing sections folded to the rear for a folded span of . At the rear of the fuselage a biplane tail-unit with twin fins and rudders provided control and stability in pitch and yaw. Two bungee-sprung plywood-covered main floats with twelve watertight compartments supported the aircraft through a divided strut structure which left clearance for dropping torpedoes from under the fuselage. A single tail float was also strut-supported from the rear fuselage. For ground handling ashore the aircraft sat on beaching dollies under the main and tail floats. The crew sat in open cockpits, the gunner/navigator at the nose, the pilot forward of the wing leading edges and a second gunner aft of the wings. The gunners could operate .303 (7.7 mm) Lewis machine guns mounted on Scarff rings. Other armament could include four 230 lb bombs on racks under the wing and/or a torpedo under the fuselage. The crew also had access to Wireless Telegraphy equipment for communications with other stations. A second G.P. was built, which was structurally stronger through the use of heavier gauge metal fittings and a revised structure, with power supplied by two Rolls-Royce 190hp engines (later to be renamed Falcon) driving handed four-bladed propellers in similar fashion to the first aircraft. Other changes included four ailerons, one on each wing, instead of just the upper mainplanes, engine nacelles raised clear of the lower mainplanes and scalloped trailing edges through the use of steel wire trailing edge members, (a retrograde step as the wire corroded quickly causing damage to the fabric covering). Operational history After initial trials the first aircraft was moved to the Marine Aircraft Experimental Station on the Isle of Grain and moored out in rough seas in a destructive test of mooring performance. The second aircraft carried out manufacturer's trials from Blackburn's new seaplane base at Brough and later flew to the RNAS base at Great Yarmouth for service trials. Although no more G.P.s were ordered, the aircraft formed the basis for the land-based Blackburn R.T.1 Kangaroo reconnaissance/torpedo-bomber.

Ronald Chesney (born René Lucien Cadier; 4 May 1920 – 12 April 2018) and Ronald Wolfe (born Harvey Ronald Wolfe-Luberoff; 8 August 1922 – 18 December 2011) were British television comedy scriptwriters, best known for their 1960s and 1970s sitcoms The Rag Trade (1961–63, 1977–78), Meet the Wife (1963–66), On the Buses (1969–73) and Romany Jones (1972–75). When their partnership began in the mid-1950s, Chesney was already known to the public as a harmonica player. Early life Ronald Chesney Chesney, who was of French descent, was the son of Marius, a silk trader, and Jeanne (née Basset). He left the French Lycée school in London at the age of 16, and began using his English name. He became a chromatic harmonica player, performing professionally from the age of 17. Touring the ABC Cinema chain, he played on BBC Radio broadcasts from 1937, the first being Palace of Varieties. Declared unfit to serve in the Second World War because of the removal of a tuberculosis-infected kidney, he taught the harmonica to troops in a BBC radio series, which ran for 42 weeks, beginning in 1940. After the war, he began to diversify into the classical repertoire. Chesney became a well-known performer, entertaining troops, performing at the London Palladium and Royal Albert Hall, and working with Duke Ellington and Gracie Fields. He was President of the National Hohner Song Band League (later the National Harmonica League) from 1951. Ronald Wolfe Wolfe was born in London, a cousin of actor Warren Mitchell, and the grandson of Russian Jewish immigrants. His parents ran a kosher restaurant in Whitechapel, which served performers from the variety theatre across the road. He was educated at the Central Foundation Boys' Grammar School in Islington. For a while he was a stand-up comedian. "I came from vaudeville and music halls", he once said. During the Second World War, he was an army radio operator, and after being demobbed he worked as a radio engineer for Marconi. In the early 1950s, he began to write for the Jewish comedian Max Bacon; after Bacon introduced him to the BBC, Wolfe contributed material for radio shows. Starlight Hour (1951), broadcast on the BBC Light Programme, was a series which featured Beryl Reid. Wolfe became Reid's regular writer, providing material for her characters, Brummie Marlene and the naughty schoolgirl, Monica. After Reid joined the cast of the radio comedy series Educating Archie, Wolfe joined the writing team for the series which Eric Sykes had created. The series featured ventriloquist Peter Brough and his dummy Archie Andrews. Chesney and Wolfe's projects Early collaborations Chesney's harmonica playing was featured as a musical interlude on Educating Archie; this led to his first meeting with Wolfe in 1955. They wrote the show's last four seasons, initially with another of the show's writers, Marty Feldman. A one-off special for BBC Television in 1956, entitled Here's Archie, was written by Wolfe, but still featured Chesney with his harmonica act. It also starred Irene Handl. The first regular television work for Chesney and Wolfe, writing in partnership with Feldman, was in 1958 when ITV franchise holder Associated-Rediffusion made a television version of Educating Archie. Persuaded by Wolfe, Chesney soon gave up performing professionally, so that they could form a writing partnership. He did, however, tutor Sylvia Syms for her harmonica-playing role in the film No Trees in the Street (1959). By this time, they had also written material for Tommy Steele and Ken Dodd, including pantomimes for both. The sitcom It's A Deal (1961) turned out to be their last work for radio. It starred Sid James as a dishonest property developer, with Dennis Price as his partner, but lasted for only a single series of 13 episodes. The Rag Trade Around the same time, the two men created The Rag Trade (1961–63), starring Peter Jones as Harold Fenner, ungenerous head of Fenner Fashions, Miriam Karlin as the shop steward, Paddy, and Reg Varney as the foreman trying to mediate the conflict between employer and employed in a London East End sweat-shop. Sheila Hancock and Barbara Windsor were also in the cast, plus the diminutive Esma Cannon. Directed (and produced) by Dennis Main Wilson, Karlin wrote in her autobiography that Main Wilson had an "amazing capacity for picking the right people" for a cast. Rejected by Associated-Rediffusion, who thought factory workers would not watch it, the pitch was picked up by Frank Muir and Denis Norden who were then comedy advisers for BBC Television. Unusually for the time, the series featured strong female roles, who it has been said gained the best lines, and it was a popular and critical success, being watched by more than 11 million viewers. Karlin's chain-smoking character had the catchphrase "Everybody out!" "I know all about working people and the struggles of the small businessman," Ronald Wolfe once said. "Writers who come from orthodox middle-class backgrounds can’t write The Rag Trade-type show. They just don’t know what makes the man in the street laugh." The show was turned into a stage version which had a run in London's West End at the Piccadilly Theatre in 1962. Later 1960s shows Chesney and Wolfe repeated their success with the BBC sitcom Meet the Wife (1964–66) starring Thora Hird and Freddie Frinton. It was originally a one-off Comedy Playhouse pilot called "The Bed" (1963). Again, this featured working class characters and humour. Frinton's character was a plumber, while Hird's had social aspirations. It ran for five series. In 1964, for Australian television, they wrote the first six episodes of a 13 episode comedy series, Barley Charlie, concerning the inheritance by two sisters of a run down garage with one lazy employee. The partnership wrote The Bed-Sit Girl (1965–66) for Sheila Hancock, who played a young typist frustrated by her current life. One of the series' characters, a neighbour (played by Derek Nimmo) of Hancock's title character, carried over to a follow-up series: Sorry I'm Single (1967) starred Nimmo as a callow mature student sharing a house with three young women. Wild, Wild Women (1969), starring Barbara Windsor and Pat Coombs and set in 1902, was effectively a period-drama variation on The Rag Trade, but only one series was produced. On the Buses Their next series was ITV's On the Buses, which ran from 1969 to 1973, leading them to be called the Other Two Ronnies. Rejected by the BBC, it was commissioned by Frank Muir, now Head of Entertainment at the then recently established London Weekend Television, who said it was "rather at the baked beans end of my menu". The series had an audience of up to 20 million, and was more popular at the time than Dad's Army. It starred Reg Varney as bus driver Stan Butler, with Bob Grant as his bus conductor Jack Harper. Doris Hare was his Mum (originally played by Cicely Courtneidge), Michael Robbins his brother-in-law Arthur, Anna Karen as his plain sister Olive. Stephen Lewis as bus inspector Cyril Blake, usually referred to as 'Blakey', delivered the series' catchphrases "I 'ate you, Butler" and "I'll get you for this, Butler". Both Varney and Grant's characters were womanisers. As David Stubbs wrote for The Guardian in 2008, Grant and Varney were playing "two conspicuously middle-aged men" pursuing "an endless array of improbably available 'dolly birds'". The series, although a rating success, was nevertheless critically derided at the time of its first broadcast. It led to three film spin-offs, which Chesney and Wolfe both co-wrote and co-produced. The first of these was more successful at the British box office than the year's James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever (1971). On the Buses American remake, Lotsa Luck (1973–74), ran for a season on NBC. When On the Buses ended, Wolfe and Chesney followed it with Don't Drink the Water (1974–75), which starred Stephen Lewis's Blakey character abroad in Spain with his sister (played by Pat Coombs). It lasted for two series. Later work The ITV sitcom Romany Jones ran from 1973 to 1975, with an initial pilot in 1972, was set on a caravan site. Originally it starred Dad's Army actor James Beck (who died in 1973, after recording the second series) with Jo Rowbottom and Jonathan Cecil also appearing. It lasted four series, being the most successful in the ratings of their series after On the Buses. It led to a sequel, featuring the characters played by Arthur Mullard and Queenie Watts moving into a council house, entitled Yus, My Dear (1976). The latter series, which had comparatively low ratings, has a reputation, shared with Romany Jones, of being one of the worst-ever sitcoms. In 1977, following the BBC's rejection of a new pilot episode, The Rag Trade was revived by LWT for the ITV network, with Peter Jones and Miriam Karlin returning; it lasted for two series. Anna Karen was "transplanted" into the cast (as Anthony Hayward expressed it in 2011) to play her Olive character from On The Buses. Karlin, however, encouraged to return to the role by a promise from Chesney and Wolfe of a more ethnically diverse cast, ultimately regretted her involvement, believing the sole black character was merely a token. Their last two series as a comedy scriptwriting partnership were Watch This Space (BBC 1980) set in an advertising agency with Liza Goddard, Peter Blake and Christopher Biggins, and Take a Letter, Mr. Jones (Southern 1981), a role-reversal comedy created for John Inman, which also starred Rula Lenska. An episode of 'Allo 'Allo! (1989) and Fredrikssons Fabrik – The Movie (1994) were the partnership's last scripts. Later life From the 1980s, Wolfe taught comedy writing at London's City University in 1986 and 1988. His text book Writing Comedy first appeared in 1992. He was also a contributor to The Stage newspaper. Ronnie Wolfe – My Life in Memoirs appeared in 2010. Written 20 years earlier, it was launched at BAFTA in November 2010. Chesney was no longer a regular harmonica player in his last years; he preferred to play jazz on his grand piano at home. Wolfe died on Sunday 18 December 2011, aged 89, three days after sustaining head injuries from a fall at a care home in London. He had married Rose Krieger in 1953; she served as his secretary and estimated that she had typed 95% of his scripts. The couple had two daughters. "He was the most incredible husband and we had 58 years of superb marriage harmony", his wife said in tribute. Chesney died at Kingston Hospital on 12 April 2018, aged 97.
