John Pratt (archdeacon of Calcutta)
|
John Henry Pratt FRS (4 June 1809 – 28 December 1871) was a British clergyman, astronomer and mathematician. A Cambridge Apostle, he joined the British East India Company in 1838 as a chaplain and later became Archdeacon of Calcutta. Although nominated as Bishop of Calcutta, the decision was rescinded at the last moment with George Cotton being appointed to the position. A gifted mathematician who worked on problems of geodesy and earth science, he was approached by the Surveyor General of India to examine the errors in surveys resulting from the attraction of the plumb-line to the mass of the Himalayan mountains. This led him to develop a theory based on a fluid earth of crustal balance which became the basis for the isostasy principle. He died in India of cholera while on a visit to Ghazipur.
Biography
Pratt was the second son of Josiah Pratt and Elizabeth née Jowett. His exact date of birth is debated and it is thought that he was born in London as he was baptised on 30 June 1809 at St Mary Woolnoth. His early schooling was at Oakham School under the tutelage of Dr Doncaster. He then went to Caius College, Cambridge and was a student of William Hopkins. He graduated B.A., third wrangler (after Alexander Ellice and Joseph Bowstead) in the Mathematical Tripos 1833, was elected to a fellowship, and proceeded M.A. in 1836. For a while he stayed at Cambridge and gave private tuitions. One of his students was Harvey Goodwin, later Bishop of Carlisle. While at Cambridge he wrote a book called Mathematical Principles of Mechanical Philosophy (1836, second edition 1845) which described mathematical applications in gravitational physics.
Pratt was appointed a chaplain of the East India Company through his father's influence on Bishop Daniel Wilson in 1838. He became Wilson's domestic chaplain, and in 1850 was appointed Archdeacon of Calcutta. The leisure allowed during his position in India allowed him to pursue mathematics although he noted that it was difficult to work alone and led to long exchanges in the journals of learned societies in Britain. When Bishop Wilson died in 1858, he was nominated for the position of Bishop. He was approved with the influence of Lord Shaftesbury on Lord Palmerston but it was shortly after decided in the wake of the 1857 uprising that no appointee known for missionary work should be appointed. The chosen appointee was instead Bishop Cotton. They held each other in high esteem. In 1864 an order was passed by the Secretary of State in India to retire chaplains after twenty-five years (earlier unlimited). An exception was made for Pratt and he was extended from October 1867 to March 1869 based on pleas from Bishop Cotton. When Pratt wished to resign in 1869, the Secretary of State extended his service to October 1872. After the death of Bishop Cotton in 1866, Pratt started a Hill Schools' Nomination Endowment Fund to help support Bishop Cotton's scheme of starting schools in the pleasant climate of the hills for the benefit of the children of poorer English residents in India who could not afford an education in England. Pratt married Hannah Maria Brown, daughter of George Francis Brown, a Bengal Civil Servant, at Bhagalpur on 6 March 1854. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1866. Pratt served as president of the Calcutta Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals founded by Colesworthey Grant in 1861. He died from cholera when he was on a visit to Ghazipur, India, on 28 December 1871. At the instigation of Bishop Robert Milman, a memorial to Pratt was erected in St. Paul's Cathedral, Calcutta.
Works
Pratt was the author of Mathematical Principles of Mechanical Philosophy (1836), subsequently expanded and renamed On Attractions, Laplace's Functions and the Figure of the Earth (1860, 1861, and 1865). The final edition is a treatise of some 162 pages. The fundamental goal of the text is to supply an answer to the question as to whether the earth acquired its present form from originally being in a fluid state. The book is organised in two parts, the first takes Newton's law of universal gravitation as starting point, calculates the resulting force exerted at a point by a total mass in forms ranging from sphere to spheroid and subsequently to an irregular mass consisting of nearly spherical layers approximating more and more to the case of the earth. The second part is concerned with calculating the shape of the earth based first on the hypothesis of it being a fluid and then on geodetic principles. Part of his work was extensively used verbatim by Isaac Todhunter in his Treatise on Analytical Statics (1853).
Even as he travelled to India in 1838 aboard the Duke of Buccleuch he conducted experiments to examine currents in the ocean and measured temperatures at various depths. While in India, Pratt was approached by Andrew Scott Waugh, Surveyor General of India who had succeeded George Everest, to examine the gravitational anomaly caused by the Himalayas on the plumbline which resulted in errors in the Great Trigonometrical Survey. Pratt estimated the deviation of the plumbline that would be expected by the mass of the mountains (based on density estimated in 1772 at Mount Schiehallion in Scotland) but the observed deviations were much less. He propounded a theory that the density of the mountains was less than that of the underlying substrate. It was also noticed that the deviations of the plumbline were greater at the foot of the mountain and reduced as one moved away from the mountain. George Airy came up with the explanation that the roots of the mountain go deep into the earth. He compared it with a heap of logs in water and suggested that when a log juts higher above the water, a greater amount of it must be submerged. Pratt on the other hand suggested that there was a lower density under mountains below sea-level (actually refined later and termed the depth of compensation) and that this is offset by the mass above sea-level. Pratt's explanation assumes a variation in density whereas Airy assumes a constant crustal density. Pratt found fault with Airy's idea as it assumed a thinner crust (10 miles) than that estimated by William Hopkins (800 to 1000 miles) and also that the crust is lighter. Pratt said that the crust cools from the solid interior and should therefore be denser. Airy did not defend his view but Samuel Haughton used the debate to claim that mathematics was a useless tool for speculation. Pratt suggested that the crust would be depressed in the cooler parts of the world and suggested that the plumb deflection was caused by anomalous high density in the oceans south of the Himalayas. Pratt also applied his knowledge of physics and mathematics to a number of applications in India on which he was consulted by engineers. He examined arches, the physics involved in the sudden movement of a mass of water such as in the Indus floods of 1858 and in the bore of the Hooghly river, and computed the iron required for cantilever bridges.
Pratt took a great interest in Hindu Astronomy and supported the translation of the Siddhānta Shiromani, aiding its publication by the authors Lancelot Wilkinson and Pandit Bapu Deva Sastri in 1863. In response to a question from Professor Edward Byles Cowell on how H.T. Colebrooke came up with an age for the Vedas, he worked out calculations based on astronomical references, finding some errors in Colebrooke and came up with the suggestion that it could be from either around 1181 or 1229 BC. Pratt however felt that both Indian and Arab astronomy had failed to build a mathematical or physical framework and that their only major achievement was limited to the prediction of eclipses and even these, he considered as imprecise.
In 1849, Pratt and his brother wrote a memoir on their father. In 1856, Pratt published a book entitled Scripture and Science not at Variance, which went through numerous editions; it was first written to counter a statement by the mathematician Baden Powell (father of the scouting pioneer) that "all geology is contrary to Scripture", and then went on to counter other scientific theories including that of Evolution that were thought to conflict with the Bible. In 1865 he edited his father's manuscript Eclectic Notes, or Notes of Discussion on Religious Topics at the Meetings of the Eclectic Society, London, during the years 1798–1814. He also published a Paraphrase of the revelation of Saint John (1862).
A Pratt School for Girls was founded in his memory in Calcutta in 1876 by Bishop Milman. This school is located on A.J.C. Bose Road, Kolkata, and is now known as the Pratt Memorial School.

Fakt
|
Fakt (Polish for "fact") is a Polish tabloid daily newspaper published in Warsaw, Poland, by Ringier Axel Springer Polska (a Swiss-German joint-venture subsidiary of Axel Springer SE and Ringier), and is one of the best-selling papers in Poland.
History and profile
Fakt was launched in October 2003 by the Polish outlet of the German publisher Axel Springer AG, and modeled on Springer's German tabloid Bild, the biggest-selling newspaper in Europe. Like its German counterpart, Fakt is characterized by its down-market, often sensationalist journalism with a populist appeal. However, politically it is by and large centrist. The paper supported policies of the former prime minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz, a regular commentator. Other op-ed writers include journalist Tomasz Lis, former TVN anchorman Kamil Durczok, and former Rzeczpospolita columnist Maciej Rybiński.
In the early 2000s, Fakt had a weekly supplement contrasting to its tabloid content, Europa which featured essays by scholars and intellectuals including Niall Ferguson, Francis Fukuyama, Jürgen Habermas, and Robert Kagan.
In 2003, the circulation of Fakt was 715,000 copies making it the best-selling newspaper in Poland. Since its launch, Fakt replaced the middle-market Gazeta Wyborcza as Poland's biggest-selling newspaper, also putting pressure on the older national tabloid Super Express. In 2005, to compete directly with Fakt, Gazeta Wyborcza publisher Agora responded with a failed middle-market paper Nowy Dzień.
When Fakt was launched at a price of 1 złoty, Super Express publisher Media Express sued Axel Springer for dumping, however having lost the lawsuit, it leveled the price of Super Express to equal Fakt.
Criticism
Like Bild and other tabloids, Fakt has been subjected to criticism concerning its style of journalism from media watchdogs. The Polish Journalists Association (pl:Stowarzyszenie Dziennikarzy Polskich) awarded Fakt twice with a "Hyena of the Year" award, for "a particular unscrupulousness and neglect of the principles of the journalistic work ethics." In 2004, Fakt published a photograph showing the nude dead body of a murder victim. In 2005, it published the photo of an innocent person with the caption "This sex offender is at large."

Slingsby Swallow
|
The Slingsby Type 45 Swallow was designed as a club sailplane of reasonable performance and price. One of the most successful of Slingsby's gliders in sales terms, over 100 had been built when production was ended by a 1968 factory fire.
Design and development
The Slingsby Swallow was a wooden-framed aircraft, covered in a mixture of plywood and fabric. Its high mounted, cantilever, straight-tapered and square-tipped wing had 3.3o dihedral. It was Gaboon plywood-skinned and built around a single spruce spar, with a leading-edge torsion box. Its unbalanced ailerons were fabric covered; there were no flaps but dive brakes could be extended in pairs above and below the wings. The prototype had a 12 m span wing, but all production aircraft had their performance enhanced by an extension to 13.05 m.
The forward fuselage was a plywood semi-monocoque, with the perspex enclosed cockpit immediately ahead of the wing. The strong curvature of the single piece canopy in front of the pilot was later reduced, in Mk.2 aircraft, by extending it forwards. In both versions, access was by removal of the canopy and a surrounding fuselage fairing. The whole fuselage was flat sided, but at the rear fabric covering was used. Fixed tail surfaces were plywood skinned and control surfaces fabric covered. Fin and rudder were noticeably straight edged, the unbalanced rudder extending down to the keel. The slightly tapered tailplane was mounted on top of the fuselage and placed far enough forward that the rudder hinge was behind the elevator trailing edge, so that no cutout for rudder movement was needed. The Swallow used a conventional glider undercarriage, a combination of a rubber sprung skid from nose to below the wing leading edge, plus a fixed, unsprung monowheel below mid wing and a small skid at the rear.
Operational history
The Swallow flew for the first time on 11 October 1957 and it remained in production for 11 years. About 115-120 Swallows were completed, though two were destroyed at the factory in a fire. Part of the uncertainty lies with kits issued by Slingsby for construction abroad. The short-span first prototype was later rebuilt as the Reussner Swift. The RAF used five Swallows, known as Swallow T.X. Mk.1, in its Air Training Corps. Approximately nine Swallows were used by branches of the Royal Air Force Gliding and Soaring Association at airfields across the world, and the equivalent Royal Navy association had four. 25 were sold in Spain, nine in Pakistan and four in Burma. Most of the rest flew with clubs in the UK, though a few went to Commonwealth countries and the USA.

Bighorn National Forest
|
The Bighorn National Forest is a U.S. National Forest located in northern Wyoming, United States and consists of over 1.1 million acres (4,500 km2). Created as a US Forest Reserve in 1897, it is one of the oldest government-protected forest lands in the U.S. The forest is well east of the continental divide and extends from the Montana border for a distance of along the spine of the Bighorn Mountains, an outlying mountain range separated from the rest of the Rocky Mountains by Bighorn Basin. Elevations range from along the sagebrush and grass-covered lowlands at the foot of the mountains, to on top of Cloud Peak, the highest point in the Bighorn Mountains. Around 99% of the land is above . The forest is named after the Bighorn River, which is partially fed by streams found in the forest. Streams in the range are fed primarily by snowmelt and snowmelt mixed with driving rainfall.
Within the forest is the Cloud Peak Wilderness area in which no motorized or mechanical equipment is allowed. The only access into the wilderness is on foot or horseback. There are of trails in the forest, along with 32 improved campgrounds, lodges, and three scenic vehicular byways. U.S. Route 14 in Wyoming, also known as the Bighorn Scenic Byway, crosses the middle of the wide forest. The Medicine Wheel Passage (U.S. Highway 14A) crosses in the north passing the Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark, while the Cloud Peak Skyway (U.S. Route 16) crosses the highest pass in the forest (Powder River Pass ) and is located in the southern section of the forest.
The forest headquarters is located in Sheridan, Wyoming. There are local ranger district offices in Buffalo, Lovell, and Sheridan. Visitor centers are located at Burgess Junction and near Shell Falls. Burgess Junction, at the intersection of Route 14 and Route 14A about 25 miles from Dayton, also has a ranger station, visitor accommodation, and campgrounds.
History
The Bighorn National Forest was established as the Big Horn National Forest on 22 February 1897, and encompasses 1,198,080 acres. On 1 July 1908 the name was changed to the Bighorn National Forest through an executive order. In September 1981 the national forest had 1,115,171 acres, with 1,107,670 of those acres being National Forest land.
Climate
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, the Bighorn National Forest has a mostly subarctic climate, abbreviated "Dfc" on climate maps.
Bald Mountain is a small peak on the northern plateau of the Bighorn Mountains.
The SNOTEL weather station, Bone Springs, is slightly north of Cedar Mountain.
Ecology and recreation
The Bighorn National Forest contains primarily forest along with alpine meadows and lakes at higher elevations. The forest is primarily lodgepole pine, along with several species of spruce, fir, and aspen. While grizzly bears have not inhabited the forest since the early 20th century, black bears are widespread. Grizzly bears have made a comeback in the decades. Other large mammals include cougars, elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and moose. Coyotes are also present in this forest. Numerous lakes are found within the forest and most are naturally stocked with trout and at least 100 other fish species. Meadowlark Lake is a popular recreation area created by the construction of a dam built by Company 841 of the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936. Water quality sampling from the lakes shows the highest acid rain deposition of any mountain chain in the Rockies.

57th government of Turkey
|
The 57th government of Turkey (28 May 1999 – 18 November 2002) was a coalition government led by Bülent Ecevit of Democratic Left Party (DSP).
Background
The number of seats gained by the most successful party in the elections held on 18 April 1999 was only 136 out of 550. Thus, at least three parties had to form the government. Ecevit asked Motherland Party (ANAP) and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) to participate in the government.
The government
In the list below, the serving period of cabinet members who served only a part of the cabinet's lifespan are shown in the column "Notes". The main reason for the excessive number of changes in the seats was the formation of a new party. A group of MPs split off from DSP to form the New Turkey Party, and they resigned from their seats in the government. Also, according to the Turkish constitution, some members of the government were replaced by independent members before the elections.
Aftermath
The government ended because of the elections held in 2002.

Clinton School of Public Service
|
The Clinton School of Public Service is a branch of the University of Arkansas system and is the newest of the presidential schools. It is located on the grounds of the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock. The school is housed in the Choctaw Route Station, a former Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad station built in 1899.
Former Senator and Governor David Pryor was named as the school's first dean. He stepped down from his position as dean in February 2006 but retained the title and active position of Founding Dean. Skip Rutherford was appointed to succeed David Pryor and was named dean on April 12, 2006, and served until June 30, 2021. University of Arkansas System President Dr. Donald R. Bobbitt announced his recommendation of Dr. Victoria M. DeFrancesco Soto as the school's next dean on September 7, 2021.
Master of Public Service Program
The Clinton School is a graduate school offering its students a Master of Public Service degree. The program is described as a "two-year graduate program with a 'real world' curriculum." The mission of the school is "to educate and prepare individuals for public service, incorporating a strategic vision, an authentic voice, and a commitment to the common good." The program is unique within the presidential schools for its emphasis on practical courses, which include a practicum, summer internship, and capstone project. The school is further unique for its emphasis on leadership for social change, preparing students to become leaders in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, as well as its emphasis on creating bridges among those sectors. The Clinton School emphasizes equity, as opposed to emphasizing efficiency in public administration schools and effectiveness in public policy schools.
Public programs and publications
The Clinton School releases a biannual publication called Frank: Academics for the Real World. The fall/winter 2007 inaugural issue of Frank was entitled “Has the Dream Arrived?” and focused on race relations in America. It included pieces by David Eisenhower, President Bill Clinton, Carlotta Walls Lanier, Karl Rove, The Rev. Jesse Jackson, Richard Dawkins, Simon Cowell, Eboo Patel, Aneesh Raman, and Antonio Villaraigosa.
Speaker series
Since 2004, the Clinton School hosts free public programs, guest lectures and community conversations featuring a wide range of internationally-prominent leaders and timely topics. Some notable speakers have included Henry Kissinger, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, Karl Rove, Alan Keyes, President Paul Kagame of Rwanda, John McCain, and Richard Dawkins. The series also screens films and documentaries and hosts panel discussions for every Arkansas Repertory Theatre production. Since its inaugural lecture from U.S. Senator Bob Dole, the school has hosted over one thousand events, including nine presidents and prime ministers, two Supreme Court justices, 22 Pulitzer Prize winners, 13 U.S. senators, 41 ambassadors, four Oscar winners, two astronauts and four NFL players, among others
All programs are free and open to the public, though more notable speakers sometimes requires advanced ticketing. The format of the speakers vary widely, and the school has made its public forums with Charles Ogletree, Judge Robert Carter, and John Edwards available to the Arkansas Educational Television Network, or AETN. Most of the series is recorded and available to the public from the Clinton School's website.
In addition to the speaker series, the Clinton School has teamed with the William J. Clinton Foundation and the Kumpuris family to establish a distinguished lecture series at the Clinton Presidential Center. The Kumpuris Lecture Series inaugural address on August 7, 2007 was given by President Clinton. Other guest lecturers include James Baker, Sam Waterston, and Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai.
Enrollment
The Clinton School admitted 16 students from around the globe in its inaugural class in 2005. Since then, the school has increased admission to about 50 students and has a current enrollment of about 90 students. The enrollment pattern is in keeping with the two other presidential schools that are coupled with presidential libraries. By comparison, the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs started in 1970 with 18 students and now has 312; the George Bush School of Government and Public Service began in 1997 with 19 students and now has 125. Students who are enrolled in the Clinton School are encouraged to continue public service acts throughout the world. Many participants come from public service backgrounds and already have experience in the field. Some programs Clinton School students come from include the Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, and some have military and medical backgrounds.

Gules, a sunflower slipped and leaved between two shells erect Or.
Crest
On a wreath Or and Gules, a trident palewise Azure, the cross bar bearing 8 bezants over the tines a mullet of 7 points of the first charged with an estoile of 6 points of the second, all surmounting a pair of artillery rammers saltirewise Gold.

Symbolism
Shield
Scarlet is the color of the Artillery. The functions of the organization are represented by the two shells placed on either side of the sunflower which represents the state of activation, Kansas.
Crest
The crest alludes to the landing of the 29th Artillery on the Normandy Beaches on 6 June 1944 for which the organization was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. In this seaborne assault the 29th Artillery was part of Combat Team 8, the first combat team to land in the VII Corps sector on the right flank of the Allied invasion. The trident alludes to “Operation Neptune” which launched the Normandy assault and in this instance is blue in reference to the award of the Presidential Unit Citation. The 7 pointed mullet alludes to the VII Corps and is similar in silhouette to its shoulder sleeve insignia. The 8 bezants refer to Combat Team 8 and the 6 pointed star (from the coat of arms of Cherbourg) to the Cotentin Peninsula. The mullet and star also simulate a shell burst. The rammers, aside from their functional use in loading the pieces are used to symbolize “ramming home” the Normandy landing, the pushing forward in subsequent actions and final victory.
Background
The coat of arms was originally approved for the 29th Field Artillery Battalion on 5 January 1943. It was redesignated for the 29th Artillery Regiment on 14 August 1958. It was amended to add a crest on 19 January 1966. The insignia was redesignated effective 1 September 1971, for the 29th Field Artillery Regiment.

The Kitchen Maid
|
The Kitchen Maid (in Spanish La mulata, La cocinera or Escena de cocina (Kitchen Scene)) and Kitchen Maid with the Supper at Emmaus are two paired domestic paintings by Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez from his early Seville period. A wide range of dates has been suggested for its completion, although most place it between 1620 and 1622. The first version is kept in the Art Institute of Chicago; the second version is held at the National Gallery of Ireland.
José López-Rey suggests that this picture could be related to a lost Velázquez painting described by Antonio Palomino "... where a board is seen, that serves as a table, with a charcoal burner, and a pot boiling on top, and covered with a bowl, and the fire is visible, the flames, and the sparks are clearly visible, a small tin saucepan, an alcarraza, some plates, and some basins, a glazed jug, a mortar with its pestle and a head of garlic next to it; and on the wall there is small basket and a cloth hanging from a hook, and other trinkets; and guarding this is a boy holding a jug, wearing a coif, who with his humble clothes represents a subject that is very ridiculous and amusing". The Dublin version was bequeathed by Alfred Beit in 1987. A 1933 cleaning revealed a depiction of Jesus’ supper at Emmaus on the wall behind the main figure.
The Chicago painting was bought from the Goudstikker gallery in Amsterdam by August L. Mayer and presented to the Institute in 1927. It was at the time thought to be the Velázquez original, relegating the Beit painting to the status of a copy. A number of art experts agreed with this opinion, including Bernardino Pantorba and José Gudiol, however, López-Rey recognized that the painting in Dublin came from the hand of Velázquez, casting doubt on the originality of the painting in Chicago due to its poor state of conservation. The Velázquez expert Jonathan Brown agreed with this reasoning, suggesting that the Chicago painting was “possibly” painted by Velázquez. He also suggested that the picture might be a copy produced by an artist who "wanted to draw on the success of genre paintings by Velázquez and who might have produced a large number of replicas and versions of the originals".
The Chicago painting was restored in 1999 by Frank Zuccari. Despite paint losses, the best conserved parts show a similar quality, and in some aspects a superior quality, to the Dublin version. No trace has been found suggesting that the painting might have at any time had any religious significance or that it is anything other than a painting of a mulatto maid working in a kitchen. The painting contains a number of features that confirm its technical superiority over the Dublin version. In the Chicago version there are a greater number of folds on the upper part of the girl’s coif and the treatment of the associated light and shadows is more meticulous, this is also seen in the crumpled cloth in the foreground. Superior technique is also seen in the depiction of light on the objects, particularly on the glazed ceramic jug that the maid is holding in her hand, in which it is possible to see the shine of the crackle glaze and marks left when the jug was formed on a potter’s wheel. A possible explanation for this improvement in technique is that Velázquez returned to a previous theme in order to improve on it, concentrating on the tactile qualities of the painting, which were his main interest at the time, and disregarding the religious motif.
Suggested influences for the painting include Flemish engravings by Jacob Matham. The appearance of the Supper at Emmaus in the Dublin version has led some authors to suggest a possible influence by Caravaggio, although this is uncertain as it is difficult to establish whether works by the Italian painter or by his contemporaries could have reached Seville and for Velázquez to have been familiar with them.
In 2018 the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, announced the discovery of a third version: this one is similar to the Chicago version but 'cropped' at left and right to an almost square format.

Choeradoplana eudoxiae
|
Choeradoplana eudoxiae is a species of land planarian belonging to the subfamily Geoplaninae. It is known from specimens found in the São Francisco de Paula National Forest in Brazil.
Description
Choeradoplana eudoxiae is a flatworm around 38 mm in length and 1.5–2 mm in width. It has a slender, subcylindrical body that narrows as it approaches the front tip of the body, with a convex dorsal side and a slightly convex ventral side. The front tip is rounded, and the back tip is pointed. The head region is rolled up. The creeping sole is 75.5% of the body width. The dorsal side of the body is a pastel yellow base color with fawn brown spots; in the paramedian regions of the body, these spots are denser. The ventral side is a cream color. The front tip is a greyish color dorsally and ventrally.
It is distinguished from other members of Choeradoplana by its yellow color and brown spots, a lack of any lateral dilations or "neck" separating the head from the rest of the body, the ventral side of the head being concave, a lack of glandular cushions, the extrabulbar portion of the prostatic vesicle having paired branches and an unpaired, rounded section, the intrabulbar portion of the vesicle being a dilated vertical duct, and a lack of a penis papilla.
Etymology
The specific epithet, eudoxiae, was given in honor of Eudóxia Maria Froehlich, for "her insightful life lessons and lasting contribution to the knowledge of the neotropical planarian fauna for 60 years".

Thomas Baker (Peasants' Revolt leader)
|
Thomas Baker (died 4 July 1381) was an English landowner and one of the leaders who initiated the Peasants' Revolt of 1381.
Thomas Baker's holding was "Pokattescroft alias Bakerescroft" in Fobbing. This holding still exists, although by the time of the 19th-century tithe map it had become known as Whitehall Six Acres.
Role in the revolt
The Peasants' Revolt was triggered by incidents in the Essex villages of Fobbing and Brentwood. On 30 May, John Brampton attempted to collect the poll tax from villagers at Fobbing. The villagers, led by Thomas Baker, a local landowner, told Brampton that they would give him nothing and he was forced to leave the village empty-handed. Robert Belknap, Chief Justice of Common Pleas, was sent to investigate the incident and to punish the offenders. On 2 June, he was attacked at Brentwood. By this time the violent discontent had spread, and the counties of Essex and Kent were in full revolt. Soon people moved on London in an armed uprising.
Death
For his role in the uprising, Thomas Baker was hanged, drawn, and quartered on 4 July 1381 at Chelmsford.

Full stop
|
The full stop (Commonwealth English), period (North American English), or full point is a punctuation mark used for several purposes, most often to mark the end of a declarative sentence (as distinguished from a question or exclamation).
A full stop is frequently used at the end of word abbreviations – in British usage, primarily truncations like Rev., but not after contractions like Revd; in American English, it is used in both cases.
It may be placed after an initial letter used to abbreviate a word. It is often placed after each individual letter in acronyms and initialisms (e.g. "U.S.A."). However, the use of full stops after letters in an initialism or acronym is declining, and many of these without punctuation have become accepted norms (e.g., "UK" and "NATO").
The mark is also used to indicate omitted characters or, in a series as an ellipsis (), to indicate omitted words.
In the English-speaking world, a punctuation mark identical to the full stop is used as the decimal separator and for other purposes, and may be called a point. In computing, it is called a dot. It is sometimes called a baseline dot to distinguish it from the interpunct (or middle dot).
History
Ancient Greek origin
The full stop symbol derives from the Greek punctuation introduced by Aristophanes of Byzantium in the 3rd century BCE. In his system, there were a series of dots whose placement determined their meaning.
stigmḕ teleía, stigmḕ mésē and hypostigmḕ
The full stop at the end of a completed thought or expression was marked by a high dot ⟨˙⟩, called the stigmḕ teleía () or "terminal dot". The "middle dot" ⟨·⟩, the stigmḕ mésē (), marked a division in a thought occasioning a longer breath (essentially a semicolon), while the low dot ⟨.⟩, called the hypostigmḕ () or "underdot", marked a division in a thought occasioning a shorter breath (essentially a comma).
Medieval simplification
In practice, scribes mostly employed the terminal dot; the others fell out of use and were later replaced by other symbols. From the 9th century onwards, the full stop began appearing as a low mark (instead of a high one), and by the time printing began in Western Europe, the lower dot was regular and then universal.
Medieval Latin and modern English period
The name period is first attested (as the Latin loanword ) in Ælfric of Eynsham's Old English treatment on grammar. There, it is distinguished from the full stop (the ), and continues the Greek underdot's earlier function as a comma between phrases. It shifted its meaning, to a dot marking a full stop, in the works of the 16th-century grammarians. In 19th-century texts, both British English and American English were consistent in their usage of the terms period and full stop. The word period was used as a name for what printers often called the "full point", the punctuation mark that was a dot on the baseline and used in several situations. The phrase full stop was only used to refer to the punctuation mark when it was used to terminate a sentence. This terminological distinction seems to be eroding. For example, the 1998 edition of Fowler's Modern English Usage used full point for the mark used after an abbreviation, but full stop or full point when it was employed at the end of a sentence; the 2015 edition, however, treats them as synonymous (and prefers full stop), and New Hart's Rules does likewise (but prefers full point). In 1989, the last edition (1989) of the original Hart's Rules (before it became The Oxford Guide to Style in 2002) exclusively used full point.
Usage
Full stops are the most commonly used punctuation marks; analysis of texts indicate that approximately half of all punctuation marks used are full stops.
Ending sentences
Full stops indicate the end of sentences that are not questions or exclamations.
After initials
It is usual in North American English to use full stops after initials; e.g. A. A. Milne, George W. Bush. British usage is less strict. A few style guides discourage full stops after initials. However, there is a general trend and initiatives to spell out names in full instead of abbreviating them in order to avoid ambiguity.
Abbreviations
A full stop is used after some abbreviations. If the abbreviation ends a declaratory sentence there is no additional period immediately following the full stop that ends the abbreviation (e.g. "My name is Gabriel Gama Jr."). Though two full stops (one for the abbreviation, one for the sentence ending) might be expected, conventionally only one is written. This is an intentional omission, and thus not haplography, which is unintentional omission of a duplicate. In the case of an interrogative or exclamatory sentence ending with an abbreviation, a question or exclamation mark can still be added (e.g. "Are you Gabriel Gama Jr.?").
Abbreviations and personal titles of address
According to the Oxford A–Z of Grammar and Punctuation, "If the abbreviation includes both the first and last letter of the abbreviated word, as in 'Mister' ['Mr'] and 'Doctor' ['Dr'], a full stop is not used." This does not include, for example, the standard abbreviations for titles such as Professor ("Prof.") or Reverend ("Rev."), because they do not end with the last letter of the word they are abbreviating.
In American English, the common convention is to include the period after all such abbreviations.
Acronyms and initialisms
In acronyms and initialisms, the modern style is generally to not use full points after each initial (e.g.: DNA, UK, USSR). The punctuation is somewhat more often used in American English, most commonly with U.S. and U.S.A. in particular. However, this depends much upon the house style of a particular writer or publisher. As some examples from American style guides, The Chicago Manual of Style (primarily for book and academic-journal publishing) deprecates the use of full points in acronyms, including U.S., while The Associated Press Stylebook (primarily for journalism) dispenses with full points in acronyms except for certain two-letter cases, including U.S., U.K., and U.N., but not EU.
Mathematics
The period glyph is used in the presentation of numbers, either as a decimal separator or as a thousands separator.
In the more prevalent usage in English-speaking countries, as well as in South Asia and East Asia, the point represents a decimal separator, visually dividing whole numbers from fractional (decimal) parts. The comma is then used to separate the whole-number parts into groups of three digits each, when numbers are sufficiently large.
1.007 (one and seven thousandths)
1,002.007 (one thousand two and seven thousandths)
1,002,003.007 (one million two thousand three and seven thousandths)
The more prevalent usage in much of Europe, southern Africa, and Latin America (with the exception of Mexico due to the influence of the United States), reverses the roles of the comma and point, but sometimes substitutes a (thin-)space for a point.
1,007 (one and seven thousandths)
1.002,007 or 1 002,007 (one thousand two and seven thousandths)
1.002.003,007 or 1 002 003,007 (one million two thousand three and seven thousandths)
(To avoid problems with spaces, another convention sometimes used is to use apostrophe signs (') instead of spaces.)
India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan follow the Indian numbering system, which utilizes commas and decimals much like the aforementioned system popular in most English-speaking countries, but separates values of one hundred thousand and above differently, into divisions of lakh and crore:
1.007 (one and seven thousandths)
1,002.007 (one thousand two and seven thousandths)
10,02,003.007 (one million two thousand three and seven thousandths or ten lakh two thousand three and seven thousandths)
In countries that use the comma as a decimal separator, the point is sometimes found as a multiplication sign; for example, 5,2 . 2 = 10,4; this usage is impractical in cases where the point is used as a decimal separator, hence the use of the interpunct: 5.2 · 2 = 10.4. The interpunct is also used when multiplying units in science - for example, 50 km/h could be written as 50 km·h−1 - and to indicate a dot product, i.e. the scalar product of two vectors.
Logic
In older literature on mathematical logic, the period glyph used to indicate how expressions should be bracketed (see Glossary of Principia Mathematica).
Computing
In computing, the full point, usually called a dot in this context, is often used as a delimiter, such as in DNS lookups, Web addresses, file names and software release versions:
www.wikipedia.org
document.txt
192.168.0.1
Chrome 92.0.4515.130
It is used in many programming languages as an important part of the syntax. C uses it as a means of accessing a member of a struct, and this syntax was inherited by C++ as a means of accessing a member of a class or object. Java and Python also follow this convention. Pascal uses it both as a means of accessing a member of a record set (the equivalent of struct in C), a member of an object, and after the end construct that defines the body of the program. In APL it is also used for generalised inner product and outer product. In Erlang, Prolog, and Smalltalk, it marks the end of a statement ("sentence"). In a regular expression, it represents a match of any character. In Perl and PHP, the dot is the string concatenation operator. In the Haskell standard library, it is the function composition operator. In COBOL a full stop ends a statement.
In file systems, the dot is commonly used to separate the extension of a file name from the name of the file. RISC OS uses dots to separate levels of the hierarchical file system when writing path names—similar to / (forward-slash) in Unix-based systems and \ (back-slash) in MS-DOS-based systems and the Windows NT systems that succeeded them.
In Unix-like operating systems, some applications treat files or directories that start with a dot as hidden. This means that they are not displayed or listed to the user by default.
In Unix-like systems and Microsoft Windows, the dot character represents the working directory of the file system. Two dots (..) represent the parent directory of the working directory.
Bourne shell-derived command-line interpreters, such as sh, ksh, and bash, use the dot as a command to read a file and execute its content in the running interpreter. (Some of these also offer source as a synonym, based on that usage in the C-shell.)
Versions of software are often denoted with the style x.y.z (or more), where x is a major release, y is a mid-cycle enhancement release and z is a patch level designation, but actual usage is entirely vendor specific.
Telegraphy
The term STOP was used in telegrams in place of the full stop. The end of a sentence would be marked by STOP; its use "in telegraphic communications was greatly increased during the World War, when the Government employed it widely as a precaution against having messages garbled or misunderstood, as a result of the misplacement or emission of the tiny dot or period."
In conversation
In British English, the words "full stop" at the end of an utterance strengthen it; they indicate that it admits of no discussion: "I'm not going with you, full stop." In American English the word "period" serves this function.
Another common use in African-American Vernacular English is found in the phrase "And that's on period" which is used to express the strength of the speaker's previous statement, usually to emphasise an opinion.
Linguistics
The International Phonetic Alphabet uses the full stop to signify a syllable break.
Time
In British English, whether for the 12-hour clock or sometimes its 24-hour counterpart, the dot is commonly used and some style guides recommend it when telling time, including those from non-BBC public broadcasters in the UK, the academic manual published by Oxford University Press under various titles, as well as the internal house style book for the University of Oxford, and that of The Economist, The Guardian and The Times newspapers. American and Canadian English mostly prefers and uses colons (:) (i.e., 11:15 PM/pm/p.m. or 23:15 for AmE/CanE and 11.15 pm or 23.15 for BrE), so does the BBC, but only with 24-hour times, according to its news style guide as updated in August 2020. The point as a time separator is also used in Irish English, particularly by the Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), and to a lesser extent in Australian, Cypriot, Maltese, New Zealand, South African and other Commonwealth English varieties outside Canada.
Punctuation styles when quoting
The practice in the United States and Canada is to place full stops and commas inside quotation marks in most styles. In the British system, which is also called "logical quotation", full stops and commas are placed according to grammatical sense: This means that when they are part of the quoted material, they should be placed inside, and otherwise should be outside. For example, they are placed outside in the cases of words-as-words, titles of short-form works, and quoted sentence fragments.
Bruce Springsteen, nicknamed "the Boss," performed "American Skin." (closed or American style)
Bruce Springsteen, nicknamed "the Boss", performed "American Skin". (logical or British style)
He said, "I love music." (both)
There is some national crossover. The American style is common in British fiction writing. The British style is sometimes used in American English. For example, The Chicago Manual of Style recommends it for fields where comma placement could affect the meaning of the quoted material, such as linguistics and textual criticism.
The use of placement according to logical or grammatical sense, or "logical convention", now the more common practice in regions other than North America, was advocated in the influential book The King's English by Fowler and Fowler, published in 1906. Prior to the influence of this work, the typesetter's or printer's style, or "closed convention", now also called American style, was common throughout the world.
Spacing after a full stop
There have been a number of practices relating to the spacing after a full stop. Some examples are listed below:
One word space ("French spacing"). This is the current convention in most countries that use the ISO basic Latin alphabet for published and final written work, as well as digital media.
Two word spaces ("English spacing"). It is sometimes claimed that the two-space convention stems from the use of the monospaced font on typewriters, but in fact that convention replicates much earlier typography — the intent was to provide a clear break between sentences. This spacing method was gradually replaced by the single space convention in published print, where space is at a premium, and continues in much digital media.
One widened space (such as an em space). This spacing was seen in historical typesetting practices (until the early 20th century). It has also been used in other typesetting systems such as the Linotype machine and the TeX system. Modern computer-based digital fonts can adjust the spacing after terminal punctuation as well, creating a space slightly wider than a standard word space.
Full stops in other scripts
Greek
Although the present Greek full stop (, teleía) is romanized as a Latin full stop and encoded identically with the full stop in Unicode, the historic full stop in Greek was a high dot and the low dot functioned as a kind of comma, as noted above. The low dot was increasingly but irregularly used to mark full stops after the 9th century and was fully adapted after the advent of print. The teleia should also be distinguished from the ano teleia mark, which is named "high stop" but looks like an interpunct (a middle dot) and principally functions as the Greek semicolon.
Armenian
The Armenian script uses the ։ (, ). It looks similar to the colon (:).
Chinese and Japanese
In Simplified Chinese and Japanese, a small circle is used instead of a solid dot: "。︀" (U+3002 "Ideographic Full Stop"). Traditional Chinese uses the same symbol centered in the line rather than aligned to the baseline.
Korean
Korean uses the Latin full stop along with its native script.
Brahmic scripts
Nagari
Indo-Aryan languages predominantly use Nagari-based scripts. In the Devanagari script used to write languages like Hindi, Maithili, Nepali, etc., a vertical line (U+0964 "Devanagari Danda") is used to mark the end of a sentence. It is known as (full stop). In Sanskrit, an additional symbol (U+0965 "Devanagari Double Danda") is used to mark the end of a poetic verse. However, some languages that are written in Devanagari use the Latin full stop, such as Marathi.
In the Eastern Nagari script used to write languages like Bangla and Assamese, the same vertical line ("।") is used for full-stop, known as in Bengali. Also, languages like Odia and Panjabi (which respectively use Oriya and Gurmukhi scripts) use the same symbol.
Inspired from Indic scripts, the Santali language also uses a similar symbol in Ol Chiki script: (U+1C7E "Ol Chiki Punctuation Mucaad") to mark the end of sentence. Similarly, it also uses (U+1C7F "Ol Chiki Punctuation Double Mucaad") to indicate a major break, like end of section, although rarely used.
Sinhalese
In Sinhala, a symbol called kundaliya: "෴" (U+0DF4 "Sinhala Punctuation Kunddaliya") was used before the colonial era. Periods were later introduced into Sinhalese script after the introduction of paper due to the influence of European languages.
Southeast Asian
In Burmese script, the symbol (U+104B "Myanmar Sign Section") is used as full stop.
However, in Thai, no symbol corresponding to the full stop is used as terminal punctuation. A sentence is written without spaces and a space is typically used to mark the end of a clause or sentence.
Tibetic
The Tibetan script uses two different full-stops: tshig-grub (U+0F0D "Tibetan Mark Shad") marks end of a section of text; don-tshan (U+0F0E "Tibetan Mark Nyis Shad") marks end of a whole topic. The descendants of Tibetic script also use similar symbols: For example, the Róng script of Lepcha language uses (U+1C3B "Lepcha Punctuation Ta-Rol") and (U+1C3C "Lepcha Punctuation Nyet Thyoom Ta-Rol").
However, due to influence of Burmese script, the Meitei script of Manipuri language uses (U+AAF0 "Meetei Mayek Cheikhan") for comma and (U+ABEB "Meetei Mayek Cheikhei") to mark the end of sentence.
Shahmukhi
For Indo-Aryan languages which are written in Nastaliq, like Kashmiri, Panjabi, Saraiki and Urdu, a symbol called () is used as a full stop at the end of sentences and in abbreviations. It () looks similar to a lowered dash ().
Ge'ez
In the Ge'ez script used to write Amharic and several other Ethiopian and Eritrean languages, the equivalent of the full stop following a sentence is the "።"—which means four dots. The two dots on the right are slightly ascending from the two on the left, with space in between.
Encodings
The character is encoded by Unicode at .
There is also , used in several shorthand (stenography) systems.
The character is full-width encoded at . This form is used alongside CJK characters.
In text messages
Researchers from Binghamton University performed a small study, published in 2016, on young adults and found that text messages that included sentences ended with full stops—as opposed to those with no terminal punctuation—were perceived as insincere, though they stipulated that their results apply only to this particular medium of communication: "Our sense was, is that because [text messages] were informal and had a chatty kind of feeling to them, that a period may have seemed stuffy, too formal, in that context," said head researcher Cecelia Klin. The study did not find handwritten notes to be affected.
A 2016 story by Jeff Guo in The Washington Post, stated that the line break had become the default method of punctuation in texting, comparable to the use of line breaks in poetry, and that a period at the end of a sentence causes the tone of the message to be perceived as cold, angry or passive-aggressive.
According to Gretchen McCulloch, an internet linguist, using a full stop to end messages is seen as "rude" by more and more people. She said this can be attributed to the way we text and use instant messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. She added that the default way to break up one's thoughts is to send each thought as an individual message.

Saticula

Saticula was a Caudini city near the frontier of Campania in southern Italy. In 343 BC, during the First Samnite War, the Roman consul Cornelius attacked it during the campaign against the Samnites in the Battle of Saticula.
Its archaeological remains are in the territory of the modern town of Sant'Agata de' Goti. Ceramic evidence from Saticula and nearby Caudium suggest that the two cities were part of a trade network along the Volturno River, linking the area with the rest of eastern Campagnia and the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea, as well as to the northern areas, including the Pentri settlements of Bovianum and Saepinum.
Fossil record
In 1995, the construction of the Trans-Mediterranean Pipeline excavated a fluvio-lacustrine succession that had been buried under volcanic deposits. Fossil bones and pollen samples were collected and further exploration continued in 2005, with a new trench dug to better access faunal and floral materials. The obtained pollen showed there had been a diverse vegetation cover of herbaceous and arboreal plants from different vegetation belts. There was a deciduous forest with a mixture of oak and hickory trees, along with hornbeam, elm, zelkova, and linden. The more mountainous forest was likely formed by species of cedars and hemlocks, with more evidence of fir and spruce close to the timberline. Herbs found at the site came mainly from the Poaceae and Asteraceae families, while the steppe plants from genera such as Artemisia and Ephedra were less common. A single grain of Quercus ilex, a Mediterranean oak, was discovered at the site in the second trench section.
The animal fossils identified at the site are: an unidentified species of rodent; an unidentified species hyena; an unidentified species of Elephantidae, believed to belong to the genus Mammuthus rather than to Elephas; Stephanorhinus hundsheimensis, an extinct species of rhino; Equus sussenbornensis, a species of equine; Hippopotamus antiquus, an extinct species of hippopotamus found in Europe; an unidentified species of Megacerini, an extinct genus of deer; and Axis eurygonos, an extinct species of cervid. Based on the combination of animal and plant remains, the time period of the fossils are considered part of the late Early Pleistocene to early Middle Pleistocene.

Daniel Saunders School
|
The former Daniel Saunders School is a historic school building at 243 S. Broadway in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The two story Classical Revival building was built in 1931, replacing a previous school building on the same site that was destroyed by fire. It is faced in yellow Flemish brick, trimmed with cast stone, over a concrete block frame. The main entrance is in a slightly projecting bay that extends the full height of the building, topped by a triangular pediment and flanked by pilasters. The side ends of the building also have slightly projecting central bays, with round arch windows on the second floor and doorways topped by pedimented hoods with scrolled brackets.
The school, like the one it replaced, was named for Daniel Saunders, a key figure in the founding of Lawrence and the town's first treasurer. This building was designed by local architect Joseph G. Morissette, who is known primarily for his ecclesiastical projects. It was one of three schools whose construction was authorized in June 1931, which were built for a combined cost of about $174,000.
The Saunders School served the first through third grades for most of its life, but in its later years served only as a kindergarten facility. It was formally closed in 2006, and sold in 2009. It has been rehabilitated to provide sixteen housing units for homeless families; it is the first facility of this type in the state.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.

Sanford Johnston Crowe (February 14, 1868 – August 23, 1931) was a political figure in Vancouver, British Columbia who served in the Parliament of Canada in both the House of Commons and the Senate.
Biography
Crowe was born in Truro, Nova Scotia on February 14, 1868, moved to Vancouver in 1888 and became a contractor establishing his own firm with a partner, Crowe and Wilson. He retired in 1909 to enter politics and was elected an alderman on Vancouver City Council serving from 1909 until 1915. He also served as vice-president of the Vancouver Exhibition Association.
He was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in the 1917 wartime election and ran as a Liberal-Unionist supporter of Sir Robert Borden's Government defeating a Laurier Liberal opponent in Vancouver's Burrard electoral district. He was appointed to the Senate of Canada in 1921 by Borden's successor, Arthur Meighen and sat in the upper house until his death in Vancouver on August 23, 1931.
Vancouver's Crowe Street is named after him.

Chinese destroyer Nanning (1976)
|
Nanning (162) is a Type 051 destroyer of the People's Liberation Army Navy.
Development and design
The PLAN began designing a warship armed with guided missiles in 1960 based on the Soviet Neustrashimy, with features from the , but the Sino-Soviet split stopped work. Work resumed in 1965 with nine ships being ordered. Construction started in 1968, with trials beginning in 1971. The ships nominally entered service in the early 1970s, but few were fully operational before 1985; workmanship was poor due to the Cultural Revolution.
Construction of the second batch began in 1977, with the last commissioning in 1991. The second batch may have been ordered due to the Cultural Revolution disrupting development of a successor class. These ships may be designated Type 051D. The PLAN initiated an abortive modernization program for the first batch in 1982. The ships would be reconstructed with British weapons and sensors acquired from British Aerospace. The Falklands War made the prospective upgrades less impressive and cost effective, and the project was cancelled in 1984. A 1986 upgrade project using American power plants, weapons, sensors, and computers was cancelled because of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.
Construction and career
Nanning was launched on 27 October 1976 at the Huangpu Shipyard in Shanghai. Commissioned on 23 March 1979.
She was decommissioned in September 2012 and converted to a maritime surveillance patrol ship.

Ficus lacunata
|
Ficus lacunata is a species of plant in the family Moraceae which is endemic to Ecuador. F. lacunata is a free-standing tree which grows up to 25 m (82 ft) tall in wet forests in the Andes.
Ficus lacunata is member of the subgenus Pharmacosycea. Members of this subgenus are free-standing trees. Most members of the other main Neotropical subgenus, Urostigma begin life as hemiepiphytes.
It grows in pluvial montane forest on the western slope of the Andes, 1800 to 2200 m (5900 to 6600 mft) above sea level. It has been classified as a Vulnerable species based on the fact that it is known from only three locations.
Description
Ficus lacunata trees grow up to 25 m (82 ft) tall. Its leaves range from roughly oval in shape to more narrow with a leathery texture. They range in length from 15 to 21 cm (6–8 in) and in width from 7–10.5 cm (3–4 in). The figs are borne singly on a short petiole up to 1.1 cm (0.4 in) long and are 2–2.9 cm (0.8–1.1 in) in diameter.

Tjerk Hiddes de Vries
|
Tjerk Hiddes de Vries (Sexbierum, 6 August 1622 - Flushing, 6 August 1666) was a naval hero and Dutch admiral from the seventeenth century. The French, who could not pronounce his name, called him Kiërkides. His name was also given as Tsjerk, Tierck or Tjerck.
Early life and childhood
Tierck was born in 1622 in the province of Friesland (Frisia), in the village of Sexbierum as the son of a poor farmer called Hidde Siurds and his wife Swab Tjeirckdochter. At the age of twelve, he went to sea. In 1648 he married Nannetje Atses; the couple settled in Harlingen, Frisia's main port. In 1654 he had attained the rank of master.
Naval career
During the Northern Wars Tjerk was appointed captain of a troop transport, the Judith, that in 1658 was part of Lieutenant-Admiral Jacob van Wassenaer Obdam's expeditionary fleet against Sweden to relief Copenhagen. In the Battle of the Sound the sea soldiers of the Judith boarded and captured three Swedish vessels. He was rewarded for this by being appointed extraordinary captain with the Admiralty of Frisia, one of the five autonomous Dutch admiralties.
During the Second Anglo-Dutch War Tjerk was appointed full captain on 27 March 1665. He commanded d' Elff Steden in the Battle of Lowestoft, managing with great personal courage to free his ship from an entanglement with several other burning Dutch vessels, set alight by an English fireship. This fight was a severe defeat for the Dutch and those who by their bravery set a contrast to the general incompetence shown during the battle, were hailed as heroes by the populace. Tjerk in a written report severely criticised his fallen supreme commander Van Obdam. The Frisian admiralty board, in need to replace the also killed Lieutenant-Admiral of the Frisian fleet, Auke Stellingwerf, and sensing the public mood, appointed Tjerk Lieutenant-Admiral of Frisia on 29 June 1665. He thus jumped two ranks, not an uncommon occurrence for the Dutch navy in that century.
Normally the Frisian fleet was rather small, but in view of the emergency the province made a strong war effort, building 28 new vessels, Tjerk supervising the formation of the strongest naval force Frisia would ever send out.
In the Four Days Battle of 1666, Tjerk, now calling himself De Vries ("The Frisian"), was second in command in the squadron of the Zealandic Lieutenant-Admiral Cornelis Evertsen the Elder. When the latter was killed on the first day, Tjerk became the squadron commander, still using as flagship his Groot Frisia. He specially fought well on the last, fourth, day, strongly contributing to the Dutch victory. Six weeks later during the St James's Day Battle he was second in command of the van under Lieutenant-Admiral Johan Evertsen. When this squadron failed to reform a proper keel line after a calm, and was mauled by the line of Admiral Rupert of the Rhine. Tjerk had an arm and a leg shot off; yet still in vain tried to rally his force. His crippled ship drifted away, only discovered by the Dutch rear under Cornelis Tromp the next day. The wounded Frisian admiral was speedily brought ashore in Flushing by a yacht - but died from his wounds on his birthday, 6 August 1666.
After his death
Tjerk Hiddes is buried in the Grote Kerk of Harlingen; his grave memorial has been destroyed. Four days after his death his son Tjerk Hiddes the Younger was born, who shortly after his birth was promised a future captain's commission by the admiralty to honour the memory of his father. Tjerk junior would indeed become a naval captain. Hiddes de Vries was succeeded as Lieutenant-Admiral of Frisia on 16 March 1667 by Baron Hans Willem van Aylva.
Tjerk in the 18th and 19th century gained in fame as a Frisian folk hero. In 1932, a Dutch writer wrote a book about him: Tierck Hiddes, de Friesche zeeheld.

The Dutch Navy has named several ships in his honour:

Garrat Elections
|
The Garrat Elections were a carnival of mock elections in Wandsworth, Surrey (now part of London), England in the 18th century. The events were organized around 20 May and would see crowds of tens of thousands travelling from London to take part. The elections were held for at least fifty years before declining after the death of Mayor "Sir" Harry Dimsdale in 1796.
Grose's Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue, originally published in 1785 by Francis Grose, described the Garrat Election as:
History
In the 17th century, Garrat was a small hamlet in the parish of Wandsworth. Its residents had met in a conclave and elected a "commons" president to exert authority over a small common. They felt that the president should hold the office of "mayor" during the parliamentary period between general elections and should be re-elected with the new one. The minor political spectacle aroused some amusement and locals ended up parodying the affair in their mock election.
The Garrat "elections" were chaired at Garratt Lane, and were popular events, with up to 80,000 attendees and sponsorship from local innkeepers and pub keepers who profited from the occasion. People put forth unusual candidates to parody the features of the real election, with the successful candidate being "the most deformed and stupid". Candidates would deliver speeches with promises and appeals to sentiment, making pledges such as "that they will lower the prices of gin, bread, beer, &c.; make old women bishops; and that they will not accept any place in the House".
The fame of the Garratt elections was spread by Samuel Foote's 1763 farce, The Mayor of Garret, and from 1768 candidates often came from London and its surroundings rather than just the Wandsworth area.
After the death of Mayor Harry Dimsdale towards the end of the 18th century, the festival began to lose its drive and innkeepers no longer agreed to pay the expenses. An 1826 attempt to revive the event failed.
Mayors and candidates
There is no record of the identity of the candidates before 1747. At that particular year, the "clerk and recorder" from a nonexistent town hall issued notification of election between Squire Blowmedown and Squire Gubbins (waterman and pubkeeper, respectively, in their day-to-day jobs). Both candidates gave out handbills where they praised their own merits and mocked those of their opponent, imitating political leaflets of the day. Same two candidates attended the next election in 1754, again abusing each other and their supporters in their handbills.
Year 1761 saw the number of candidates rise to nine; in addition to previous two there were Sir John Crambo, Kit Noisy (waterman), Lord Lapstone (shoemaker), Lord Paxford, Lord Twankum (cobbler), Lord Wedge and Beau Silvester. The candidates elicited flowering elocutions praising their own efforts, promising prosperity if they were to be elected and threatening impending disaster if their opponents should be elected instead. Beau Silvester merited himself with resisting the extra tax on ale and giving orders to increase the number of local pubs.
In 1763 candidates Lord Twankum, Kit Noisy and Sir John Crambo mocked each other in electoral contest. In 1768 there were seven candidates; Lord Twankum, Sir Christopher Dashem, Sir George Comefirst, Sir William Airey, Sir William Bellows, one "Batt from the Workhouse", and Sir John Harper who ended up being the most popular in the following elections. Lady Twankum promised an opulent party for the entertainment of the populace. 1775 election introduced Sir William Blaize, "Nephew to the late Lord Twankum" and Sir Christopher Dashem.
The 1781 election again had nine candidates; old hands Sir John Harper, Sir Christopher Dashwood, and Sir William Blaize and the new ones Sir Buggy Bates (chimney-sweep), Sir John Gnawpost, Sir Thomas Nameless, Sir William Swallowtail (basketmaker), Sir Thomas Tubbs (waterman) and Sir Jeffrey Dunstan (wigseller). The latter proved to be the most popular ever in the following elections due to his wit, small size and grotesque and unkempt appearance. Swallowtail had come to the poll in a wicker-chariot of his own design and preceded by hand-bell players. Dashwood was pulled around in a boat. Swallowtail and Buggy Bates were blamed of having government contracts, of baskets and soot, respectively. Sir John Harper and Sir Jeffrey Dunstan were "returned to parliament".
In 1785 elections Sir Jeffrey Dunstan was left without opposition when Sir John Harper died. In 1796 the new candidate Sir Harry Dimsdale won but he died before the next election.

David Diamond (screenwriter)
|
David Diamond is an American screenwriter. He frequently collaborates with David Weissman.
Early life
Diamond was born on April 19, 1965, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Diamond and Weissman met in high school, at Akiba Hebrew Academy (now Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy). They graduated in 1983.
Career
The duo sold their first spec script, The Whiz Kid, to 20th Century Fox in 1994. Their first produced project came in 2000, The Family Man starring Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni. Cage's production company, Saturn Films, helped produce the film. The Family Man opened at #3 at the North American box office making $15.1 million in its opening weekend, behind What Women Want and Cast Away, which opened at the top spot.
Diamond and Weissman next wrote the sci-fi comedy Evolution, helmed by Ivan Reitman. Evolution was based on a story by Don Jakoby, who turned it into a screenplay along with Diamond and Weissman. The film was originally written as a serious horror science fiction film, until director Reitman re-wrote much of the script. A short-lived animated series, Alienators: Evolution Continues, loosely based on the film, was broadcast months after the film was released. They partnered with Wedding Crashers producer Andrew Panay on Old Dogs and When In Rome.
From 2018 to 2021, Diamond taught screenwriting at the Shalhevet High School in Los Angeles until moving back to Philadelphia.
In 2019, the duo published a screenwriting manual, Bulletproof: Writing Scripts That Don't Get Shot Down. The book draws from their extensive film experience.

Tobolsk Viceroyalty
|
Tobolsk Viceroyalty () was an administrative-territorial formation (a namestnichestvo) in the territory of Siberia of the Russian Empire from 1782 to 1796. The seat of the viceroyalty was located in Tobolsk.
History
Establishment
The Tobolsk Viceroyalty was established by personal decree of Catherine II from the territory of the dissolved Tobolsk province.
In 1780–1782, the three-story stone Tobolsk Viceroy's Palace was rebuilt in Tobolsk. The palace was located on the site of the old clerk's chamber, built by Semyon Ulyanovich Remezov, on a high ravine between the Pryamskoy Vzvoz (gatehouse of the Tobolsk Kremlin) and the banks of the Irtysh river. In its spacious throne room, furnished with expensive carpets, was the gold-decorated imperial throne, from the steps of which the Tobolsk rulers received officials and foreign ambassadors.
To commemorate the opening of the Tobolsk Viceroyalty, ceremonial events were held in August 1782. In attendance were the Khan of the middle Kirghiz horde with the sultans, the Vogul ancestors, Prince Taishin of the Principality of Obdorsk, and other Ostyak princes.
Celebrations in Tobolsk began on August 21, 1782. On the eve of this day, Major Yakov Meibom, who was appointed mayor, second-major, and collegiate secretary Matvey Yurlov, with 6 horse trumpeters and 12 hussars, informed Tobolyakov and guests of the city about the upcoming festivities. At 4:00 a.m., after a cannon shot, a military team of 1,000 people arrived at the Tobolsk Kremlin. At 7:00 a.m., following another cannon shot, commanding officials began to arrive at the Viceroy's Palace of the Governor General, Lieutenant General of the Life Guards, and Prime Major Yevgeny Petrovich Kashkin. By cannon shot at 8:00 a.m., the church service of Varlaam Archbishop of Tobolsk and Siberia began, which was attended by all officials. They arrived at the Cathedral from the Viceroy's Palace in a special procession along a special platform upholstered in scarlet cloth. During the prayer service, "there was cannon firing from 101 cannons and two rapid fires". This was followed in turn by a celebratory dinner, an evening ball, and a supper after midnight.
On August 23, 1782, a dinner was given in the throne room of the Tobolsk Viceroy's Palace.
On August 30, 1782, the opening of the Tobolsk Viceroyalty took place. According to the description of Abramov N.A., from the words of a participant in these celebrations:At the end of the Divine Liturgy and a prayer service, a procession with holy icons was made from the cathedral to the Tobolsk Viceroy's palace. Upon arrival at the palace, a prayer service was served on the occasion of the opening of the Offices. And after pronouncing many years to the Empress and the entire August House, cannons were fired. The food for the people was plentiful. There were whole roasted bulls with gilded horns, and various edible preparations were put inside the bulls. Barrels of plain wine and beer were installed. Fountains were arranged, from which grape wine was poured into the framed barrels. Everywhere there was expanse and fun. At night, the city was gracefully lit. A magnificent illumination was arranged, shining with different colors of lights, at the Tobolsk Viceroy's palace, where a majestic picture depicting Empress Catherine II was installed.This description of the celebrations possibly belongs to Pyotr Slovtsov, a 15-year-old student of the Tobolsk Theological Seminary who read the ode "To Siberia" of his own composition at the celebrations from the seminary.
Structure
In 1785, the Tobolsk Viceroyalty consisted of two regions: Tobolsk Oblast and Tomsk Oblast.
The oblast (region) was an intermediate link in territorial administration between the (vicegerency) and the (county). By this, the administration of Empress Catherine II adapted the system of government to the vast Siberian territories.
Tobolsk Oblast included 10 uezds—Beryozovsky Uezd, Ishimsky Uezd, Kurgansky Uezd, Omsky Uezd, Surgutsky Uezd, Tarsky Uezd, Tobolsky Uezd, Turinsky Uezd, Tyumensky Uezd, and Yalturovsky Uezd—the uezd-less town of Pelym (located within Turinsky Uezd), and 11 fortresses that made up the Ishim line (the southern border of Kurgansky Uezd, Ishimsky Uezd, and Omsky Uezd).
Tomsk Oblast included 6 uezds—Achinsky Uezd, Yeniseisk Uezd, Kainsky Uezd, Narymsky Uezd, Tomsk Uezd, and Turukhansky Uezd.
Settlements
According to Catherine II's regional reform (1785), which transformed provincial governments into viceroyalties, for a population to be considered a city, it had to have a special letter from Catherine II—which created a self-governing city society with the right of a legal entity—as well as the highest approved coat of arms and city plan. From 1788 until the early 1790s, general city dumas were organized in nine cities of the Tobolsk Viceroyalty: Tobolsk, Tomsk, Tyumen, Tara, Turukhansk, Yeniseisk, Narym, and Omsk.
The following cities were re-established in the Tobolsk Oblast: Omsk, from the Omsk fortress; Ishim, from the Korkina settlement; Kurgan, from the Kurgan settlement (Tsarevo Gorodishe settlement); and Yalutorovsk, from the Yalutorovsky ostrog.
The Tobolsk Viceroyalty had an area of 5 million square verst. It contained 16 cities, 16 ostrogs and suburbs, 42 pogosts, 43 slobodas, 124 villages; 10 fortresses; 5 monasteries; 18 outposts, camps, and redoubts; 2,994 villages and winter quarters; 1,232 auls and yurts of non-Christians; 72 landowners' lodges; and 6 state-owned and 14 private manufacturing establishments. In the vicegerency, 224 volosts of Russian settlers and 156 volosts of other faiths were organized.
Government
The management of the Tobolsk Viceroyalty was united with that of the Perm Viceroyalty under the authority of the governor-general, in whose hands all the threads of economic, police, and judicial administration were concentrated. He had full administrative and military power in the territory. E. P. Kashkin was appointed the first governor-general of the Tobolsk Viceroyalty and Perm Viceroyalty.
The Tobolsk Viceroyalty belonged to the I category (status, depending on which monetary payments were assigned to officials who served in them), uniting territories that had a more standardized administration.
Disestablishment
In 1796, the Tobolsk Viceroyalty was abolished by Paul I, and its territory was transferred to the newly formed Tobolsk Governorate.
Population
The population of the Tobolsk Viceroyalty was represented by the following national and ethnic groups: Russians, Tatars, quitrents (Muslim settlers from other provinces, recorded as settled foreigners and endowed with 15 dessiatins of land), Bukharians, Ostyaks, Voguls, Samoyeds, Tungus, Chapogirs (one of the Yenisei clans of Tungus), and Yakuts.
Economy
In 1783, there was a crop failure in the Tobolsk Viceroyalty.

The Bandy Papers
|
The Bandy Papers is a series of novels chronicling the exploits of a World War I fighter ace named Bartholomew Wolfe Bandy. The author, Donald Jack, himself served in the RAF during World War II. Every book in the Bandy Papers series contains the word "me" in the title, as do many of the chapter titles, which can also be interpreted as photo captions. The first novel was Three Cheers for Me (1962), but it was later expanded into three books, the first three below, one of which was then republished in two parts:
Three Cheers for Me (1973)
That's Me in the Middle (1973)
It's Me Again (1975), also published in two volumes (numbered 3 and 4) as It's Me Again and Me Among the Ruins
Me Bandy, You Cissie (1979)
Me Too (1983)
This One's On Me (1987)
Me So Far (1989)
Hitler vs. Me (1996)
Stalin vs. Me (2005)
Bandy was born on July 14, 1893. Physically he is described as over 6 feet tall and with a face like a horse. His voice is high pitched and whiney and is said to resemble that of W.C. Fields, whom he once met. This combination seems to drive most people (and many animals) he meets to dislike him and as a result he has developed a "stone face" to counter these attacks (a defence that often backfires by inciting his enemies to greater levels of malice). His talents, although well disguised, are real and he has certainly been an influential (though minor) character in history.
Bandy was born and raised in Beamington, in the Ottawa Valley in Ontario, where his father was a minister. It is introduced as "a good town: there was no place to get a drink but there were nine churches." Since Beamington is said to be "twenty miles" from Ottawa, "a town of sunbaked, frost cracked brick, splintering timber, and brown grass" across the river from Quebec, one likely location is Cumberland, Ontario. If the town is to the West, another possibility would be Dunrobin, Ontario.
From his published papers, Bandy seems to have had a difficult time fitting in with his schoolmates. There is a reference in Me Bandy, You Cissie that he was an invalid for a time during his childhood. He finished school and was at the University of Toronto Medical School when the First World War broke out.
Bandy volunteered for the infantry in 1916 after being kicked out of medical school and was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in the Canadian Army. After spending some time in the trenches, it was decided that the infantry was not entirely suited to his talents and so he was transferred into the Royal Flying Corps, where he stayed on and off for the rest of the war, until being sent to Russia to fight Bolsheviks, where he was captured by Red Russian forces at the Battle of Toulgas on November 11, 1918. His military career went from the heights of the Air Board to the lows of fighting in a bicycle battalion. He left the air force in 1920 as a lieutenant acting major general.
After the war and his imprisonment in Russia, Bandy had short but illustrious careers in silent films, rum-running, politics, and airplane design. When several of his careers threatened to land him in prison (or worse, Cabinet), Bandy returned to Europe, flying via Iceland, in an attempt to restore his fortunes through the marketing of the Gander, an amphibious aircraft of his design. His plans came to naught when he lost the Gander during the rescue of a downed aviator in the English Channel. He was forced to seek employment as a lowly hospital porter until being sought out by the rescued aviator, who turned out to be the son of an Indian Maharajah. Offered employment in the Maharajah's air force, Bandy continued his long tradition of upsetting the powers that be by accepting this controversial appointment. This led to him being knighted, but he seldom used his title. It is mentioned that he flew for the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, but this is not detailed. In World War II, Bandy again fought against Germany and became reacquainted with a son from a previous adventure. In the final volume of the series, Bandy faces Germany's top fighter pilot in combat before returning to the Soviet Union for the Yalta conference at the end of the war, where he has to cope with Stalin's paranoia and secret police.
The books are noted for their humour and word play, as well as technical and historical accuracy (except possibly in India). Three of the novels featuring Bandy won the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour: Three Cheers for Me (1963), That's Me in the Middle (1974), and Me Bandy, You Cissie (1980).

Dore Hoyer
|
Dore Hoyer (12 December 1911 – 31 December 1967) was a German expressionist dancer and choreographer. She is credited as "one of the most important solo dancers of the Ausdruckstanz tradition." Inspired by Mary Wigman, she developed her own solo programmes and toured widely before and after the Second World War. Wigman called Hoyer "Europe's last great modern dancer."
Biography
Dore Hoyer was born in Dresden to a working-class family on 12 December 1911. As a young girl, she learned rhythmics and gymnastics. She trained in the style of Hellerau-Laxenburg in 1927–1928, before studying expressionist dance or Ausdruckstanz for a year with Gret Palucca in 1929–1930. In 1931, she was engaged as a soloist in Plauen, and in 1933 she became a ballet mistress in Oldenburg. In 1932 Hoyer met and fell in love with an 18-year-old musician, Peter Cieslak. Cieslak composed a number of solo dance pieces which Hoyer choreographed and performed. He died on 5 April 1935, possibly a suicide.
In 1935–36, with the dance group led by Mary Wigman, Hoyer toured Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden. She and other dancers were photographed by artist Edmund Kesting. In 1937 Hoyer was portrayed by the Dresden expressionist painter Hans Grundig on a desolate country road at twilight, utterly alone in the gathering darkness.
In 1940-1941 Hoyer joined Hans Niedecken Gebhard's short-lived Deutsche Tanzbühne in Berlin. During World War II, she performed in various locations including Graz in 1943. After the war, she took over what had been the Mary Wigman-Schule in Dresden as the renamed D.-Hoyer-Studio. This school had been lost by Mary Wigman for political reasons. Under Hoyer's direction, the school created Dances for Käthe Kollwitz. The elderly German artist Käthe Kollwitz was a kindred spirit as she shared Hoyer's dislike for violence and elitism while experiencing empathy with the underprivileged. By 1948 the D.-Hoyer-Studio closed, as German currency reform made it difficult for groups without state funding to survive.
In 1949, Hoyer became director of ballet at the Hamburg State Opera where she was given complete artistic freedom. She left in 1951 after her ambitious plans failed to succeed. She went on to pursue her own career as a soloist and choreographer.
Hoyer spent seasons in Mannheim (1952), Ulm (1954), Athens (1956), Berlin (1957), Salzburg (1963) and Frankfurt (1965). By 1963, she had made five tours to South America and from 1962 she lectured at the Hamburg Academy of Art.
Her choreographic cycle "Affectos Humanos" (1962) was composed by her long-time collaborator, Dimitri Wiatowitsch. It consists of five dances, each focused on one of the 48 types of human affect identified in Spinoza's philosophical writings: "Eitelkeit" (vanity), "Begierde" (lust), "Angst" (fear), "Hass" (hatred), and "Liebe" (love). A highly technical and abstract movement composition, it prefigured post-modern dance styles. It has been studied and reconstructed as recently as 2010.
Hoyer last performed on 18 December 1967 at the Theater des Westens in Berlin. She bore all the costs of the performance, which was poorly attended. In debt and facing the possibility that she would no longer be able to dance because of a knee injury, she committed suicide in Berlin on 31 December 1967. In one of the last letters she wrote before her death, she lamented: "Only in dance could I communicate."
After her death, Hoyer's papers and archives were held by Waltraud Luley, executor of her estate, who has since donated them to the Deutsches Tanzarchiv Köln.

The Pantheon, from the Terrace of the Luxembourg Gardens
|
The Pantheon, from the Terrace of the Luxembourg Gardens is a lithograph by the American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created in 1893.
Whistler's friend and printer, Thomas R. Way, wrote the definitive catalogue of Whistler's lithographs. In it, The Pantheon, from the Terrace of the Luxembourg Gardens is listed as catalogue number 45, and he describes it as such: "In the distance the dark dome rises above trees, and the roofs of buildings. In the front, the terrace with stone balustrade crosses the picture ; two vases are raised on the stonework, and in front on the right, two ladies, one seated, the other standing, and on the left, two nurses and a child ; a cloudy sky above."
Whistler and Way pulled a total of only 15 lifetime impressions, and most are found in museums. The one known to be in private hands belonged to singer and actress Doris Day.

Gray-barred wren
|
The gray-barred wren (Campylorhynchus megalopterus) is a species of bird in the family Troglodytidae. It is endemic to Mexico.
Taxonomy and systematics
The gray-barred wren has two subspecies, the nominate Campylorhynchus megalopterus megalopterus and C. m. nelsoni. The latter has been suggested as a separate species but there are only small differences between the subspecies in size and plumage and no apparent differences in their voices.
Description
The gray-barred wren is long and weighs . Both sexes of the nominate have a grayish crown with a black center, a black and white striped nape, and black shoulders and back barred with white. Their throat and chest are white with black spots and the flanks buff with blackish bars. C. m. nelsoni is the smaller of the subspecies and its underparts' spots and bars are grayish brown. The juvenile has a solid brown cap and is buff and brownish overall with no bars on the back and no spots on the chest.
Distribution and habitat
The ranges of the two subspecies of gray-barred wren do not meet. The nominate is found in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt from Jalisco and Michoacán east to western Puebla. C. m. nelsoni is found in the southern Sierra Madre Oriental from west-central Veracruz through eastern Puebla into northern Oaxaca. It inhabits several types of montane forest including humid pine-oak and stands of Abies fir. It occurs in both primary and secondary forest. In elevation it ranges between .
Behavior
Feeding
Though the gray-barred wren's diet has not been documented, it is probably small invertebrates. It does not forage on the ground but probes epiphytes, mosses, and lichens.
Breeding
The gray-barred wren's breeding season appears to be May to June. Its nest is a domed structure with a side entrance constructed of moss and placed high in a tree. Little else is known about the species' breeding phenology.
Vocalization
The gray-barred wren's song is "a rapid harsh chatter" ; both sexes sing in duet. Its call is "a harsh 'karrr'" .
Status
The IUCN has assessed the gray-barred wren as being of Least Concern. It is "common in many areas of suitable habitat" and "[appears] able to tolerate some modification of habitat."

The La Grande-1 (LG-1) is a hydroelectric power station on the La Grande River that is part of Hydro-Québec's James Bay Project. The station can generate 1,436 MW and was commissioned in 1994–1995. A run of the river generating station, it is one of only two generating stations of the James Bay Project that use a reservoir without any major water-level fluctuations (the Laforge-2 generating station is the other). Thus, the amount of electricity generated by the station depends almost entirely on the water-flow of the river, which is largely controlled by upstream reservoirs and generating stations.

Onyx (game)
|
Onyx is a two-player abstract strategy board game invented by Larry Back in 1995. The game features a rule for performing captures, making Onyx unique among connection games.
The Onyx board is a grid of interlocking squares and triangles, with pieces played on the points of intersection (as in Go). Each side of the board comprises twelve points. Black tries to connect the two horizontal (black) sides with an unbroken chain of black pieces, while White tries to connect the two vertical (white) sides with an unbroken chain of white pieces. The first to do so wins the game.
Onyx was featured in several issues of Abstract Games magazine edited by Kerry Handscomb.
Game rules
The initial setup has four black pieces and four white pieces pre-placed (see illustration).
Players alternate placing stones on the board, starting with Black.
Black moves first by placing a black piece on any empty point of the board.
White follows suit. Since moving first conveys an advantage, the pie rule can be invoked. This gives White the one-time option to switch sides after Black's first move.
A piece can be placed on the midpoint of a square only if all four corners of that square are currently unoccupied.
Once placed, pieces do not move unless captured. Captured pieces are immediately removed from the game.
Capture rule
The rule for capturing allows a player to capture up to two enemy pieces in a single turn. All of the following conditions must be met:
the two enemy pieces occupy opposite corners of a square;
a third corner of the square is already occupied by a piece owned by the capturing player;
the square's midpoint is unoccupied.
The capture is executed by placing a piece on the remaining unoccupied corner of the square. If the capturing move also simultaneously completes a square on the board where the same conditions prevail, then the move results in the capture of enemy pieces instead of two. This possibility arises since each corner of a square on the Onyx board, with exception of corners at the board's edge, is also a corner of a second, adjoining square.
For example, if Black places a stone on [B5] as shown on the 6×6 mini-board, that completes the square {AB-45} and the White stones at [A5] and [B4] are captured. The illustration also shows a double-capture: if White places a stone on [C3], that completes two squares ({BC-34} and {CD-23}) and the Black stones at [B3], [C2], [C4], and [D3] are all captured and removed from the board. If Black moves first and captures the two White stones, the double-capture cannot occur as the [B4] corner would no longer be occupied after the capture and removal.
Observations: non-repeating positions
Onyx has the interesting property that, despite having a capture rule, it seems positions never repeat in a normally played game. That is, if at least one player is trying to win then it does not appear to be possible to have an Onyx position where, after a number of moves have been made, some of which are captures resulting in the removal of pieces from the board, the game returns to the same position. It seems the only way a position can be repeated in Onyx is if both players conspire to bring this about. However, while experience indicates that positions do not repeat, it's not obvious why this is so. In fact, it may be possible to construct an Onyx position where, with correct play, the position will repeat after a number of moves. But such a position has never been discovered and it may be the case that it's impossible to create one. Therefore, one interesting challenge with Onyx is to construct a position that repeats with correct play or to prove that it is impossible to do so.
Notation conventions
Each point on the Onyx board, except for midpoints of squares, is notated by a letter followed by a number in a zig-zagging coordinate system. The of a square is described by two letters followed by two numbers that uniquely identify the square's corners.
An asterisk (*) following a notated move indicates that one pair of pieces was captured; two asterisks (**) indicates that two pairs were captured.
Variations
Open Variation. Instead of the initial setup shown, players can begin the game with the Onyx board empty.
The Onyx board can be varied in size, with more or less than twelve points per side. The next highest board size that still allows the starting pieces to be placed centrally is 16×16.

Donegal v Dublin (2011 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship)
|
The Donegal vs Dublin football match that took place on 28 August 2011 at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, was the second semi-final match of the 2011 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Both teams reached the stage with an undefeated record in the competition. The game was administered by Laois officials led by Stradbally referee Maurice Deegan. The result was a scoreline unprecedented in recent Championship history; Donegal led 0–4 – 0–2 at half time, Dublin won the second half 0–6 – 0–2 and the game by a scoreline of 0–08 - 0-06. The match was played in front of a sell-out crowd.
The number of points shared was the lowest between the teams in Championship history. The first half produced one of the lowest scorelines in Championship history and the final scoreline had not been seen at this level of the sport since the 1950s, an era when games lasted ten minutes less. This was also the first Championship loss of Jim McGuinness's successful reign as Donegal manager, and one of only four. It became a defining game in the evolution of the then revolutionary tactic that was to become known as The System.
Background
Neither side had won an All-Ireland title since the 1990s. Neither side had even appeared in an All-Ireland final in all that time. Dublin had lost their previous four All-Ireland semi-finals. Former Kerry footballer Pat Spillane, in his capacity as an analyst for RTÉ Television, tipped an easy win for Dublin. A heavy rain shower fell ahead of the match.
Match
First half
The first significant action was a free won by Dublin's Barry Cahill in the second minute. Cahill called forward his goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton to take a shot. Cluxton's attempt drifted to the left and wide. In the sixth minute Donegal's Christy Toye was hauled down by two Dublin players. Michael Murphy sent the resulting free wide. In the seventh minute Dublin's Alan Brogan shot spectacularly wide. A high challenge from Dublin's James McCarthy led to a yellow card in the eight minute. Colm McFadden scored the resulting free from inside the 45-metre line to give the opening point of the match to Donegal. In the tenth minute Dublin's Bernard Brogan ran through on the Donegal goal but his shot past Paul Durcan went to the left and wide. He made up for this two minutes later when he equalised by putting over Dublin's opening point from a free. The first 14 minutes of the match featured 12 frees. In the twenty-first minute Dublin's Bernard Brogan again attempted to score a point but his effort went to the right and wide. In the game's twenty-fourth minute Ryan Bradley restored Donegal's lead, evading the efforts of most of Dublin's players to send the ball between the posts and score the first point from play. One minute later, Bernard Brogan sent over a free to bring the game level again. In the twenty-ninth minute Kevin Cassidy sent Donegal into the lead again with a point from play via the outside of his boot. Colm McFadden added another point from play a minute later to send Donegal into a two-point lead for the first time. One minute after that, Alan Brogan sent another effort to the right and wide. Diarmuid Connolly and Cluxton added to Dublin's wide tally just before the break. Dublin did not score from play in the first half.
Second half
Donegal opened the second half by adding to their lead. Colm McFadden's shot from play went over the bar to give him his third point of the game. More Dublin wides followed until their goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton stepped up to send a free over the Donegal bar and score his first point of the game. McFadden duly responded by sending another free over Cluxton's bar and Donegal opened up a three-point lead on a scoreline of 0–6 – 0–3. In the forty-ninth minute Dublin's Cian O'Sullivan showed his frustration by lashing out at Rory Kavanagh, sending him flat onto the Croke Park turf. O'Sullivan picked up a yellow card for his trouble. In the fifty-second minute Bernard Brogan sent over a simple free to reduce the gap between the sides, with Cluxton sending over a '45 soon afterwards. In the fifty-seventh minute Diarmaid Connolly won a free close to the Donegal goal but, before it was taken, Connolly lost his cool and raised a fist to the face of a Donegal player. The referee Maurice Deegan consulted his lineman Rory Hickey before showing Connolly the red card and changing his decision to a hop-ball which Donegal cleared. With ten minutes left Kevin McManamon sent over Dublin's first point from play, to bring the game level. With eight minutes left Bryan Cullen gave Dublin the lead with his team's second point from play. Five minutes later Bernard Brogan sent a free over Paul Durcan's bar to give Dublin a two-point lead. In stoppage time Durcan intercepted McManamon's pass to Michael Darragh MacAuley to prevent what looked a certain Dublin goal. Then Cluxton sent another free wide.
Details
Reactions
The outcome confounded experts across the sport. Pat Spillane, uncertain what to make of proceedings after witnessing the first half, famously branded Donegal's style of play "Shi'ite football" live in front of the nation during his attempted half-time analysis. This was also the origin of Spillane's infamous calling for McGuinness to be sent to The Hague and tried there for "crimes against football", a comment which would return to haunt him on many occasions for many years afterwards. His colleague, the former Meath footballer Colm O'Rourke, speaking on television after the match, called it "the game from hell". Booing rang out around the stadium from Dublin fans, impatient at their team's lethargic manner of playing. Those who followed the English game were heard to wryly, yet accurately, observe with the score at 0–1 – 0–1 after twenty minutes of play that Arsenal and Manchester United were serving up scores at a quicker rate with the result in that match being 8–2.
Vincent Hogan would later use the match as an example to brand McGuinness "a leader of sheep" in a famous newspaper article, which backfired on him when he mocked what Donegal would offer in the 2012 season — they won the All-Ireland title that year. McGuinness later described the 2011 Championship meeting with Dublin as "a game that came too soon" for his team.
Aftermath
Dublin would go on to become the dominant side of that decade, while Donegal would fade into oblivion after their 2012 victory. When they met again at the same stage of the 2014 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, it was possible for commentators to describe 28 August 2011 as "the day that shook football's landscape to the core" in sarcastic and derogatory terms, and the match as "one of the landmark games" in the history of its sport.
Upon retiring in 2022, Maurice Deegan rated this as the most difficult game he had refereed during his career.

Agora (Thrace)
|
Agora (), also called Cherronesos or Chersonesos (; IPA(key): /kʰer.ró.nɛː.sos/, /kʰer.só.nɛː.sos/), was an ancient Greek town in Thrace. It was situated about the middle of the narrow neck of the Thracian Chersonese (called today Gallipoli peninsula), and not far from Cardia, in what is now European Turkey.
It was a colony of Athens, founded between 561 and 556 BCE, and a member of the Delian League. It is known for its series of tyrants in antiquity. Xerxes, when invading Greece in 480 BCE, passed through it.
Its site is tentatively located near modern Bolayır, Turkey.
Tyrants
According to the Greek Historian Herodotus, Militiades the Elder was chosen by the Dolonci to be tyrant of Chersonesos. His most notable achievement was building a long wall to guard from invaders crossing the isthmus. Following the death of Militiades the Elder, his maternal half brother, Stesagoras acquired power.
Stesagoras only ruled for approximately three years (519 - 516 BCE), when he was struck in the head by an axe. After Stesagoras' death, the Peisistratids of Athens sent Militiades the Younger, Stesagoras' brother, to mourn and honor him. After grieving for a period of time, Militiades the Younger restrained all the powerful men of the city and seized control of the area. He later abandoned the area when Darius I invaded in 493 BCE.

Charnock Richard
|
Charnock Richard is a small village and civil parish in the borough of Chorley, Lancashire, in England. The population of the civil parish taken at the 2011 census was 1,748.
History
The village was named in the early 13th century by the local landowner, who gave the township his first name of Richard, to distinguish it from neighbouring Heath Charnock. The village is situated on the A49 road which leads from Preston to Wigan. The manor house Park Hall dates from the 10th century.
It was the home of Henry de Lea, who was beheaded with Adam Banastre on Leyland Moor in 1315, after the abortive Banastre Rebellion.
Local amenities
Charnock Richard Pasture is just off Freemans Lane, and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Charnock Richard Services, probably the area's most famous landmark, is a motorway service station, between Junctions 27 and 28 of the M6 Motorway. It was the first service station on the M6 when it opened in 1963 and is operated by Welcome Break.
Next to the service station stands the now derelict Camelot Theme Park. The park closed in November 2012, due to a lack of visitors and financial problems. The site has become a famous spot to explore for "urban explorers". Christ Church, a church of the Church of England, was built in 1860.
Sport
The village football club, Charnock Richard FC, plays at Mossie Park on Charter Lane, and currently competes in the North West Counties League. In June 2007, the club began work on redeveloping its ground to bring it up from West Lancashire League standards up to the higher standard required for the North West Counties League and for the higher Northern Premier League.
The first phase included a new pitch, largely enclosed with a spectators' stand, at a cost of about £60,000. The second phase included a new changing room building and the ground is now able to house 1,000 fans at games. These improvements helped the club to join the North West Counties League in 2016 from the West Lancashire League.
The club then saw success, progressing to the North West Counties Premier Division in 2017 after finishing second in the First Division, thus gaining promotion at the first attempt.
Charnock Richard Golf Club, which opened in 1994, was a parkland golf course on the main A49 Preston Road and is set in . It closed in July 2013, after being bought by the sports tracksuit seller Dave Whelan.

USS Santa Cecilia

USS Santa Cecilia (ID-4008) was the lead ship of her class of freighters of the United States Navy during World War I. In service for the United States Army she was known as USAT Santa Cecilia. Both before and after her World War I service she was known as SS Santa Cecilia for the Grace Line.
Career
SS Santa Cecilia, a single-screw, steel-hulled freighter built during 1913 by William Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine Building Co. of Philadelphia, was chartered by the United States Army during World War I. Santa Cecilia was taken over by the Navy at New York on 10 March 1919; and commissioned the same day.
Santa Cecilia was one of four U.S. Army ships manned by the Navy in March 1919 after conversion to troop transports by the Army. She sailed from Hoboken, New Jersey, on 11 April 1919 for Bordeaux, France, and returned to New York on 9 May with homeward-bound troops. She completed her fourth and last round-trip voyage on 7 September 1919, and was transferred to the United States Shipping Board on 6 October 1919.
Following mercantile service, Santa Cecilia was broken up in 1935.

MicroInsurance Centre
|
The Microinsurance Centre was created in 2000 by Michael J. McCord. It is as an independent institution dedicated to promoting responsible microinsurance, with their focus on the partner-agent model. The partner-agent model links microinsurance schemes (hosted primarily by MFIs) to established commercial insurance companies. This link allows the risk of the schemes to remain with the insurer, and thereby can enable greater sustainability and long-term viability.
The Microinsurance Centre works on two fronts, helping to establish proper dialogue on micro-insurance policies and helping to set up proper microinsurance schemes. It has a wide range of partners that it works with, including insurers, regulators, donors, MFIs, and NGOs. It has played a role in projects in numerous countries that include Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, India, Nepal, Jordan, Peru, Laos, and Indonesia. It is also actively involved in disseminating information on micro-insurance through its periodic Briefing Notes, web site, and speaking engagements. In addition, it has conducted several country case studies and held trainings in Italy, Uganda, and Pakistan.

All the Time in the World (book)
|
All the Time in the World: New and Selected Stories is a collection of short stories by American author E.L. Doctorow. This book was first published in 2011 by Random House.
The stories
The twelve (12) stories in this collection appear in the following sequence:
"Wakefield"
"Edgemont Drive"
"Assimilation"
"Liner Notes: The Songs of Billy Bathgate"
"Heist"
"Walter John Harmon"
"A House on the Plains"
"Jolene: A Life"
"The Writer in the Family"
"Willi"
"The Hunter"
"All the Time in the World"
Background
The first three stories in this collection (“Wakefield,” “Edgemont Drive,” and “Assimilation”) first appeared in The New Yorker.
“Heist” was published in The New Yorker and was later adapted for the Doctorow novel City of God (2000).
“All the Time in the World” was published in The Kenyon Review.
An earlier version of “Liner Notes: The Songs of Billy Bathgate” appeared in The New American Review.
“Walter John Harmon,” “A House on the Plains,” and “Jolene: A Life,” were first published in The New Yorker and were later included in Doctorow's story collection Sweet Land Stories.
“The Writer in the Family,” was first published in Esquire; “Willi,” first appeared in The Atlantic. Along with the story “The Hunter”, these three stories were included in Doctorow's book Lives of the Poets.
Reception
Christian Williams for The A.V. Club gives the collection an A− grade saying: "While the abruptness of the stories’ conclusions go from rattling to occasionally repetitive, though, the openings are always fresh, as Doctorow skillfully shifts perspective and style to better examine how the same weaknesses that make us human can also rob us of our humanity." Jess Row in The New York Times is not impressed, writing: "Doctorow’s novels tend to follow a deductive logic, beginning with the great themes of an era (or simply with a set of historical facts) and then dramatizing them in an interwoven ensemble of characters. Without a substantial dose of irony, short stories don’t work that way; the heavy-handedness of the novelist smashes them flat." David L. Ulin for the Los Angeles Times sees some value in mixing the older stories with the new: "this too is in the nature of a new and selected, to operate as a bit of a grab bag, and in so doing to let us read the work anew. To be sure, that's the case with the six older stories, which trace, with grace and acuity, the tension between longing and obligation, between who we are and who we mean to be."

Sea pineapple
|
The sea pineapple (Halocynthia roretzi) is an edible ascidian (sea squirt) consumed primarily in Korea, where it is known as meongge (멍게), and to a lesser extent in Japan, where it is known as or .
Sea pineapples are known for both their peculiar appearance, described by journalist Nick Tosches as "something that could exist only in a purely hallucinatory eco-system" and their peculiar taste, described as "something like iodine" and "rubber dipped in ammonia". However, aficionados claim that the taste is well suited to serving with sake. The flavor has been attributed to an unsaturated alcohol called cynthiaol, which is present in minute quantities.
Sea pineapples live in shallow water, usually attached to rocks and artificial structures, an example of marine biofouling. Halocynthia roretzi is adapted to cold water: it can survive in water temperatures between , but optimum temperature is around .
Aquaculture of sea pineapples first succeeded in 1982, when 39 metric tons were produced in Korea. Production reached a peak of 42,800 tons in 1994. The FAO estimates that total world sea pineapple production in 2006 was 21,500 tons, worth around US$18 million. Of this, 16,000 tons were cultivated in Japan, including 12,163 tons in Miyagi prefecture alone.
Culinary uses
In Korea, sea pineapple is mostly eaten raw as meongge-hoe with vinegared gochujang, but it is also often pickled (meongge-jeot) or used to add flavor to kimchi.
In Japan, sea pineapple is most commonly eaten raw as sashimi, simply by slicing the animal vertically, removing the internal organs and serving them with vinegared soy sauce. It is also sometimes salted, smoked, grilled, deep-fried, or dried.

Copha
|
Copha, a registered trademark of Peerless Foods, is a form of vegetable fat shortening made from hydrogenated coconut oil. Copha is produced only in Australia, but there are many suppliers of hydrogenated coconut fat in various forms worldwide. It is 100% fat, at least 98% of which is saturated. It also contains soybean lecithin.
It is used in Australia for confectionery, such as rocky road, and a number of foods for children, being an essential ingredient in white Christmas, and in chocolate crackles, which are made from Rice Bubbles, copha and cocoa powder. It is also used as a "chocolate coating" on baked goods, that amounts to a form of compound chocolate.
Concern about the health hazards of hydrogenated fats (trans fats) is a contributor to the declining popularity of Copha-based confectionery.
In New Zealand, it is marketed as Kremelta. Known in Europe as coconut fat, it is available either in its pure form, or in solid form with lecithin added as an emulsifier. In France it is marketed as Végétaline and in Germany and Denmark it is marketed as Palmin. It is not readily available in the United States.

BFW M.20
|
The BFW M.20 (also known as the Messerschmitt M.20 after the designer's surname) was a German single-engine, high-wing monoplane ten-seat passenger transport aircraft, developed in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Deutsche Luft Hansa used it throughout the 1930s on a variety of routes.
Design and development
The M 20 was designed by Willy Messerschmitt at Bayerische Flugzeugwerke, primarily for use with Luft Hansa which had ordered two in advance of the first flight. It was a development of the BFW M.18d eight-seater, equipped with a single 375 kW (500 hp) upright inline water-cooled BMW VIa engine. It had a high, cantilever wing based around a robust D-section box formed from a single dural spar and dural skin, forward to the leading edge. The fuselage was all-metal, with a mostly dural frame, covered with metal sheeting providing rectangular cross-section accommodation, with four square windows each side, for eight passengers. The single-axle main undercarriage was strutted vertically to the wing.
The aircraft made its maiden flight on 26 February 1928, but was lost when pilot Hans Hackmack bailed out at low altitude and was killed, after the surface stripped from part of the wing. A second M.20 was flown on 3 August 1928, and became the first of two M.20a series to fly with Luft Hansa.
Encouraged by their performance, Luft Hansa ordered 12 more, enlarged, M.20b aircraft. These carried ten passengers in a fuselage with five windows each side. It had dihedral on the wing and a more rounded vertical tail.
Operational history
The Luft Hansa M.20s entered service in 1929 on routes that went from Switzerland via Germany to the Netherlands and from Stuttgart via Marseille to Barcelona. From the mid-1930s, they were operating German internal and holiday routes. Two were still flying such routes in 1942.
One former Luft Hansa airframe went to Brazil in 1937, flying with Varig as PP-VAK, until it crashed on 7 March 1948, the only M.20 to survive the war
The Messerschmitt-Milch relationship
Hans Hackmack, who died in the first flight of the M 20, was a close friend of Erhard Milch, the head of Luft Hansa and the German civil aviation authorities. Milch was upset by the lack of response from Messerschmitt and this led to a lifelong hatred towards him. Milch eventually cancelled all contracts with Messerschmitt and forced BFW into bankruptcy in 1931. However, the German rearmament programs and Messerschmitt's friendship with Hugo Junkers prevented a stagnation of the careers of himself and BFW, which was started again in 1933. Milch still prevented Messerschmitt's takeover of BFW until 1938, hence the designation "Bf" of early Messerschmitt designs.

HMS Sparkler (1797)
|
HMS Sparkler was an Acute-class gunvessel launched in 1797 as GB No.7 and renamed HMS Sparkler in August 1797. She served the Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary Wars. The Navy sold her in 1802. She became a merchantman. In 1813 a French privateer captured her but the Royal Navy recaptured her shortly thereafter. She was wrecked in February 1814.
Career
Lieutenant Austin Terman commissioned Sparkler in April 1797 for the Channel. In June 1798 Lieutenant William Walker replaced Terman.
On 27 June 1800 on Mr. William O'Kelly, Sparklers surgeon, came before a Court-martial aboard , at Portsmouth harbour. Lieutenant Walker charged Kelly with having behaved in a mutinous, riotous, and disorderly manner. The Court found the charges proved in part and sentence Mr. O'Kelly two years in Marshalsea Prison, and to forfeit his pay.
Less than a week later, on 2 July 1800, Lieutenant Walker himself faced a Court-martial aboard Gladiator. The court found Walker guilty of a number of offences, including theft of provisions, enrolling his one-year old son as an Able Seaman, and covering up crew desertions while drawing full provisions. The Court found the charges had in part been proven and dismissed Walker from the Navy.
Lieutenant John Stevens took command of Sparkler in August 1800.
In company with other Royal Navy sloops and gun-vessels drove two French sloops ashore at Grandcamp Bay in Northern France on 19 Aug 1800, and destroyed them. A dispatch dated 11 September 1800 credits the ship, along with the cutter , , and in destroying two more French sloops on 9 September 1800.
On 15 September 1800, Lieutenant Charles Papps Price, of , sighted a French long cutter some four miles off the West Island of the Îles Saint-Marcouf. He sent Lieutenant M'Cullen of the Royal Marines with 24 picked men in Badgers ten-oared galley and six-oared cutter to catch the French vessel. He also signaled Sparkler to draw the fire of two shore batteries, one of two 24-pounder guns and one of two 12-pounder guns, while Badgers boats cut out the French vessel. The French crew ran their cutter on shore and cut her masts and rigging. Nevertheless, the British towed her off despite heavy small-arms fire from the shore. The prize was the privateer rowboat Victoire, mounting four swivel guns, 26 oars, and having a crew of at least 40 men, under the command of Captain Barier. Price described her as "quite new... the completest Boat for the Service of the Islands that possibly could be constructed." The only British casualty was Badgers gunners mate, who took a musket ball to the shoulder.
Lieutenant William Dick replaced Stevens in 1801 before Sparkler departed for the Baltic.
Sparkler joined Admiral Hyde Parker's North Sea Fleet at Yarmouth to take part in the expedition to the Baltic, which had as its objective to compel the Danes to abandon the League of Armed Neutrality. In March Cruizer sailed with Parker's fleet from Yarmouth roads for Copenhagen. Sparklers crew received head money for the engagement at Copenhagen on 2 April. she did not actually participate in the battle and so her crew was not listed among those qualifying for the clasp "Copenhagen" to Naval General Service Medal.
Disposal
Following the Treaty of Amiens, the "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" offered the "Sparkler Gun-Vessel, 160 Tons, Copper-bottomed", lying at Sheerness, for sale on 9 September 1802. She sold then.
Merchantman
Sparkler then became a merchantman. She was raised in 1803 and given a new top and sides of fir plank.
She first appeared in the online copies of the registers in the 1804 volume of the Register of Shipping (RS). She first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in the volume for 1805.
On 3 December 1812 the French privateer Augusta, of 14 guns and 120 men, from Saint-Malo, captured several British merchantmen near Scilly. One of the captured vessels was Sparkler, Brown, master, which had been sailing from Cadiz to London. Auguste put Sparklers crew, as well as that of two other merchantmen, aboard Mary, which Auguste then released. Mary arrived at Plymouth on 30 December.
On 23 December and the hired armed cutter Nimrod were in company when they recaptured the English brig Sparkler, A. Brown, master. Nimrod sent Sparkler into Portland Roads.
Having been captured and recaptured, Sparkler apparently changed masters, and perhaps owner, a change that was not reflected in Lloyd's Register. The next mention of Sparkler was that on 11 July 1813 she had arrived at Gravesend from Memel, with Kieth, master.
Loss
In February 1814 the transport Sparkler, Keith, master, was driven ashore and wrecked at Bayonne. The French took the crew prisoner.

Alfred Smith (British politician)
|
Alfred Smith (1860 – 12 February 1931) was a British trade unionist and politician.
Born in Brighton to a Catholic family, Smith became an apprentice lighterman when he was eleven years old, but ran away to sea and settled in the United States. There, he took a variety of jobs, from tram driver to oil well worker, teamster to fisherman.
After some years at sea, Smith returned to London in 1884, where he became a taxi driver. He was a founder member of the London Cab Drivers' Union, and served as its president from 1906 to 1913. He then worked full-time as an official of its successors, the United Vehicle Workers and then the Transport and General Workers' Union.
Smith was also active in the Labour Party, and was elected to the council of the Municipal Borough of Willesden and also to Middlesex County Council. He stood in East Dorset at the 1918 general election, then switched to Leyton West in 1922, 1923 and 1924, but never won the seat. At the 1929 general election, he instead stood in Sunderland and won one of the two seats. He died in February 1931, still in office.

Davidstow Creamery
|
The Davidstow Creamery is a manufacturing plant in Cornwall; it makes Cathedral City mature Cheddar cheese. It is the largest cheese factory in the UK, and the largest mature cheddar plant in the world.
History
The site is on a windswept hill top, and began in 1950.
The site was bought by the Milk Marketing Board in 1979; in 1980 the processing division was divested as the new company Dairy Crest.
In 2002 the site employed 174.
In 2019, Dairy Crest was bought by the Canadian company Saputo Inc.
Environmental concerns
On 22 June 2022, Dairy Crest was found guilty of environmental offences over a five-year period and fined £1.5 million. This is the largest fine ever awarded for an Environment Agency conviction in the South West of England. The pollution affected the River Inny, Cornwall and included releasing a harmful biocide into the river on 16 August 2016, killing thousands of fish over a 2-kilometre stretch, and coating the River Inny with a noxious, black sludge for 5 kilometres in 2018, through a release of a mass of suspended solids in July and August 2018.
Construction
The boiler house was added in 1968. The site was expanded in 1984 and 2001.
A £55m redevelopment opened in 2005.
Visits
Prince Charles visited the site on Tuesday 12 July 2011 to open a new £4.2m biomass plant. It is a waste wood biomass plant for high pressure steam. Two Byworth boilers produce 7000 kg/hr of steam at 23 bar, with Endress+Hauser energy monitoring. The boiler plant was built by Leadbitter from May 2010 to April 2011.
Structure
It is situated at the junction of the A39 and A395 in northern Cornwall.
Production
It makes 45,000 tonnes of cheese a year.
The cheese is taken from Davidstow to the national distribution centre at Nuneaton in north-east Warwickshire, where it is stored for 12 months to mature.
Dairy Crest also had made Cathedral City at its Maelor Creamery cheese packing plant, which opened in 1976 at Marchwiel in north Wales, which was sold (with other sites that made supermarket cheese) to First Milk in 2006, then closed in 2014. The Maelor site was the largest cheese packer in Europe producing 80,000 tonnes per year. Cathedral City cheese packing moved to Nuneaton in 2009. Dairy Crest also had a former cheese plant at Johnstown, Carmarthenshire.
Around 400 farmers supply milk to the site. Cheese made includes Cathedral City Cheddar and Davidstow Cheddar.

Christoph Haizmann
|
Johann Christoph Haizmann (1651/52 – 14 March 1700) was a Bavarian-born Austrian painter who is known for his autobiographically depicted demonical neurosis. The so-called Haizmann case has been studied in psychology and psychiatry since the early twentieth century, especially by Sigmund Freud and Gaston Vandendriessche.
Early life
Christoph Haizmann was born in Traunstein, Bavaria, in 1651 or 1652.
Facts
Little is known about him before 1677. He was an impoverished painter, and when he lost a parent, he allegedly sold his soul to the devil in 1668, to be his bounden son for nine years; after that time, Haizmann’s body and soul were to belong to the devil. Haizmann claimed that he gave two pacts to the devil, one written in ink and the other in his own blood.
Exorcisms
However, in 1677, when the pacts were due, he became anxious and made a pilgrimage to Mariazell, and after a successful exorcism, the pact in blood was given back to him by the devil.
As the demonic infestations continued, Haizmann concluded that another exorcism was necessary to retrieve also the pact on ink; that happened in 1678.
Painting
Haizmann painted several pictures of the appearances of the devil (a triptych and a series of eight portraits with captions) and kept a diary of his visions.
Later life and death
After his demonical neurosis, Haizmann became a Brother Hospitaller. He died in 1700 in Neustadt an der Mettau in Bohemia (currently Nové Město nad Metují in Czech).
Manuscript record and research
To preserve the details of the successful exorcism, a manuscript, partly in Latin, partly in German, was composed sometime between 1714 and 1729, titled Trophæum Mariano-Cellense. It was rediscovered in the archive in the early 1920s, and Sigmund Freud was the first to analyze it in an article entitled “A Seventeenth-Century Demonological Neurosis” (1923). After him, several other writers have discussed the case. The most extensive research (including two books) has probably been carried out by the Belgian psychologist Gaston Vandendriessche; other notable writers include Michel de Certeau and H. C. Erik Midelfort.
A facsimile of the Trophæum Mariano-Cellense manuscript, along with an English translation, colour illustrations and critique of Freud, was published in 1956 by Ida Macalpine and Richard A. Hunter: Schizophrenia, 1677: A Psychiatric Study of an Illustrated Autobiographical Record of Demoniacal Possession.
Haizmann in popular culture
In 2003, a low-budget horror mockumentary Searching for Haizmann was released. According to the storyline of this movie, Haizmann, as the son of the devil, is the Anti-Christ, and he didn’t die in 1700 but was smuggled to America and he still lives there.
