Samuel Owen (12 May 1774 – 15 February 1854), was a British-Swedish engineer, inventor and industrialist. He founded a workshop in Stockholm in 1809 that produced a large number of mechanical components, and since then has been regarded as "the founder of the Swedish mechanical industry".

Early and personal life
Owen was born in Norton in Hales, Shropshire, England on 12 May 1774.

He was married three times; first in England to Ann Spen Toft, then in Sweden in 1817 to Beata Carolina Svedell. Svedell died in 1822. Soon after, Owen married Johanna Magdalena Elisabeth (1797–1880), also called "Lisette" (likely a children's name for Elizabeth). She was born "Strindberg" and her nephew was the playwright August Strindberg. In total Owen had 17 children with his three wives.

Career
Owen's first visit to Sweden was in 1804 to assist with the installation of four steam engines that had been sold by the company Fenton, Murray & Wood’s in Leeds, England that Owen was employed by at that time. The steam engines were ordered from Sweden and intended for industrial use. The first engine was installed in the autumn of 1804 in a textile factory at Lidingö outside Stockholm to replace horses that were used to drive the machines in the factory. After the installation work ended he went back to England but was asked to return in 1806 to help in setting up another engine. In 1807 Owen decided to stay in Sweden and in 1809 he opened his own workshop, Kungsholmens Mekaniska Verkstad, situated at Kungsholmen in Stockholm. Two of the original buildings that formed the workshop still remain.

Owen was also engaged in the development of steam engine-driven ships and was the first person in Sweden to build a ship with a steam engine. His first ship was called Amphitrite, built in 1818 at his shipyard close to the workshop; it had a 6 horsepower steam engine. His new steam ship was a sensation for the people around the waters around Stockholm but many were also skeptical of the new "fire and air engines" that required a lot of wood for the steam boiler. Owen also carried out tests with early types of propeller. In July 1816 he presented the first propeller-driven steamship The Witch of Stockholm. These early propeller designs, however, required many years before they came into practical use; the steamships around that time were normally driven by paddle wheels.

Owen became one of the most recognised engineers and industrialists in Sweden. He was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1831. Together with Methodist missionary George Scott, who was initially sent to Stockholm as a preacher for the British workers in Owen's factory, he founded one of the first Swedish temperance societies () in 1832. In 1837, along with Scott, , , Jöns Jacob Berzelius, Anders Retzius, and others, he founded the Svenska nykterhetssällskapet (the Swedish Temperance Society), of which he was a board member. The organisation would reach over 100,000 members in the 1840s. His success ended in 1843 when he faced severe financial problems. His company was sold the year after, and he almost faced bankruptcy. The Swedish Government decided to give him a lifetime pension with the motivation that he had made many important contributions to the development of industries in Sweden. However, Owen continued to work, and was employed for a further number of years at a company in Södertälje, Stockholm County.

Death and legacy
Owen became sick in 1853 and died in 1854, aged seventy-nine, at his home in Stockholm. He was buried at Norra begravningsplatsen.

A street at Kungsholmen, close to Stockholm City Hall, is named after him: 'Samuel Owens gata'.

North Raleigh Christian Academy (NRCA) is a private, coeducational, primary and secondary Christian day school located in Raleigh, North Carolina,  United States. Also referred to as simply North Raleigh Christian, the school was founded in 1996.

History
North Raleigh Christian Academy was founded in May 1996 by Dr. S. L. Sherrill and a group of businessmen who wanted to start a Christian School in Raleigh, North Carolina. Dr. Sherrill was thrown out of a screening of the Princess and the Frog for using slurs and being homophobic to the ushers.

The original site of the school was Mt. Vernon Baptist Church located in Raleigh, NC, which is now the current site of Neuse Christian Academy. In its first year, NRCA had 400 students in K–12th grade at its "Falls campus" at Mt. Vernon. In 1998, the school began a second campus with K-6th grade at Open Door Baptist Church where over 140 students arrived its first year. Open Door Baptist supported the "Durant campus" as it grew to over 250 students in three years. Total enrollment at both campuses reached 868 by 2001.

In 1999 the school purchased  on Perry Creek Road. The school's Board of Governors began plans for the "Perry Creek campus." Ground was broken in the fall of 2000 for the new campus.  The new campus was opened on August 19, 2002.

In 2009 NRCA purchased adjacent land and expanded the school, the project was completed by the start of the 2010–11 school year and has increased enrollment capacity to 1,800 students.

Academics and curriculum
North Raleigh Christian Academy is an ACSI, state-approved, college-preparatory school. The school's accreditations include: SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools), ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International), and CITA (Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation).

The school offers dual-enrollment opportunities through The College at Southeastern, the undergraduate school of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC.

Adana is an Indian raag. It is also called Adana Kanada. It is often sung or played in drut laya after a vilambit composition in raga Darbari Kanada, as Adana is straighter than Darbari in its chalan, thus allowing faster passages. The flow of this raga is similar to a mix of Madhumad Sarang / Megh and Darbari. Another common vivadi some artists use sparingly is shuddha nishad which enhances the Saranga mood of the raga.

Aroha and avaroha

Arohana:

Avarohana:

Vadi and samavadi
 Vadi : Sa
 Samvadi : Pa

Organization and relationships
Flat Ga is usually omitted in ascent and in descent always appears in the distinctive Kanada phrase g m R S. Flat Dha is present in descent, but one should never linger on it. In fact it is omitted by some musicians completely. Most movements are in the upper tetrachord, around high Sa. It is very common to begin the elaboration of this raga with high Sa.

Adana is part of the Kanada Raga group.

Samay (Time)
Late Night (12am-3am)

Historical Information
Ādāna was previously called Āḍḍānā.

Adana was a major raga in the 17th century and a combination of the then current ragas Malhar and Kanada. In a ragamala painting from Mewar it is depicted as an ascetic man sitting on a tiger skin, however, Somnath describes him as Kama the god of love. His Adana was quite different from the raga as it is performed today.

Entr'acte is a silent French Dada short film directed by René Clair. It premiered on 4 December 1924 at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris as a prologue and entr'acte for the Ballets Suédois production of Relâche, based on a book by Francis Picabia, which had settings by Picabia, was produced by Rolf de Maré, and was choreographed by Jean Börlin. The music for both the ballet and the film was composed by Erik Satie.

Summary

Prologue
On a rooftop, a cannon, via stop motion photography, rolls itself back and forth. In slow motion, two men (Francis Picabia and Eric Satie), jump into the frame and jump up and down. They discuss the cannon and, after smelling a projectile, load it before jumping up and down and jumping out of frame in reverse. The projectile slowly comes out of the cannon toward the camera lens.

Entr'acte
Images are intercut of Parisian rooftops filmed with the camera tilted at various angles, three dolls with balloons-heads that are inflated and deflated, and a ballet dancer dancing on glass seen from below. Two pairs of white boxing gloves spar over daytime and nighttime images of a city square. Matchsticks arrange themselves on a man's head and ignite, causing him to scratch.

Intercut with images of a rooftop and the city, two men (Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray) play chess on a rooftop until they are blasted away by water. A toy folded-paper boat bobs up and down over bobbing images of rooftops.

More footage of the ballet dancer (Inger Frïis), who is eventually revealed to be wearing pince-nez and a fake beard. Some multiple exposures of male faces.

On a rooftop, a hunter in antiquated clothing (Jean Börlin) points a double-barreled shotgun at an egg-shaped target suspended by string and jostled from below by a stream of water. He shoots the egg, releasing a pigeon, which flies around before landing on his hat. Picabia sees the hunter from another rooftop and shoots him. The hunter falls off the roof.

A group of mourners line up behind a hearse pulled by a dromedary camel. In slow motion, the procession sets off, the well-dressed attendees jumping and skipping along. More footage of the ballet dancer and busy Parisian intersections. The coach becomes separated from the camel and rolls off on its own. The mourners, women and the elderly among them, chase after it as it goes faster and faster. Footage is intercut of automobile traffic and a bicycle race and then a roller coaster ride.

After a frenetic, multiple-exposure montage, the hearse reaches the countryside. The coffin falls off and comes to rest in some grass. The mourners, who have been joined by a man who was out for a run, gradually arrive. They gather around and witness the lid of the coffin open. The hunter, now dressed as a magician, jumps up. Using his magic wand, he makes the coffin, each member of the crowd, and then himself disappear.

A man pokes a hole through the end title card ("Fin") and then jumps through, landing flat on the ground. A foot kicks him in the face, propelling him back through the title card, which, as the footage is reversed, appears to repair itself.

Production and release
For this production, the Dadaists collaborating on the project invented a new mode of production: instantanéisme. The complete film runs for about 20 minutes and uses such techniques as watching people run in slow motion, watching things happen in reverse, looking at a ballet dancer from underneath, watching an egg over a fountain of water get shot and instantly become a bird, and watching people disappear. The cast included cameo appearances by Francis Picabia, Erik Satie, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Jean Börlin (artistic director of the Ballets Suédois), Georges Auric, and Clair himself. The conductor of the orchestra at the premiere was Roger Désormière.

The "Prologue" section runs about 90 seconds (though time indications are approximate, as film and music techniques at the time of the premiere did not allow accurate timing). It was played at the beginning of the ballet, right after the "little overture" ("Ouverturette"), and before the curtain was raised ("Rideau"). The music to this part of the film is called "Projectionnette", and is included as the 2nd item in the Relâche partition. There appears to have been no real effort to synchronize music and action in this part of the film. Probably, the "Projectionnette" music was played two or three times before proceeding to "Rideau".

The "Entr'acte" section runs about 18 minutes and 40 seconds. It was played between the two acts of the ballet. The score for this part of the film is not included in the Relâche partition, but was written down by Satie in a separate score, titled "Cinéma". This part of the music contains "expandable" repeat zones in order to match the start of a new melody with certain events in the film, and, thus, was one of the earliest examples of music to film synchronization. In the score, Satie names 10 sections that are associated with scenes in the film.

In 1974, the film was shown at the Cannes Film Festival.

DVD
The film was included on the Criterion Collection DVD of Clair's À Nous la Liberté (1931).

West Allis Central High School is a public high school in West Allis, Wisconsin, United States. The school boundaries are the city of West Allis, village of West Milwaukee and portions of New Berlin and Greenfield. Central's cross-town rival is Nathan Hale High School.

History
Built and opened in 1920 as West Allis High School, the school's name was changed to West Allis Central in 1941. The original building was closed in 1973, when the school moved to its present location on West Lincoln Ave.

Programs
Central offers few academic programs. Programs like Project Lead The Way were cut, due to budget restraints and low student attendance in those classes. The 2022-2023 school year will be the last that the school offers AVID. Central still offers auto and woodworking programs along with other trade classes.

Athletics

Girls' athletics are softball, basketball, bowling, cross country, soccer, pom pons, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, strength and conditioning, wrestling and volleyball.

Boys' athletics are basketball, bowling, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, strength and conditioning, volleyball, baseball, football, golf, and wrestling. West Allis Central (then West Allis) won the state championship in boys' cross country in 1934. West Allis Central won the state championship in 1958.

Dovecotes is a housing estate at Pendeford, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England.  It is situated NNW of the city centre and neighbours Pendeford Park which is adjacent to the border with Staffordshire, within the Oxley ward of Wolverhampton City Council.

Place name and history
The Dovecotes housing estate, situated along Ryefield off Barnhurst Lane and The Droveway, has only existed since the late 1970s, being built on land previously belonging to Barnhurst farm. The place name is listed historically as 'Barnhurst', with the earliest reference to it as Barinhurst (1250), from old English 'bere-ærn' (barn) and 'hyrst' (wooded hill). The canons of Tettenhall held an estate here in the late 13th century. A moated farm complete with dovecote and ponds existed in the area of the present day church. Wolverhampton Corporation bought the Barnhurst estate in 1867, developing part of the area as a sewerage farm by 1870.  The farm was demolished and replaced in 1963. The brick gatehouse, built in 1602 was demolished in 1961. Barnhurst farm was operated by Wolverhampton Corporation until 1975, with the housing estate coming a short while later.

Today

The housing estate was given the name Dovecotes, after the old farm Dovecote that is still standing, and was restored in 2004. The Dovecote pub stood on the site of the farmhouse, though this closed in the 2000s and is now a Seventh Day Adventist church.

Schooling is provided by Dovecotes Nursery, Infants and Junior Schools situated in a central position on the Estate.

The council housing on Dovecotes Estate is currently being managed by a Tenants Management Organisation (TMO)

Shopping and Amenities
There is a small shopping parade within Dovecotes known as The Haymarket.  There is a Premier Store named Pendeford Superstore (Previously Spar), an Indian take away, fish & chip shop and a  thriving Chicken Business that employs many people from the estate. (Dovecotes Poultry Products), there was once a Newsagent, Bookmaker and more but these have long closed.

Chiseldon Camp Halt was a small railway station on the Midland and South Western Junction Railway line, south of Swindon in Wiltshire, England.

History

Chiseldon village was provided with a station when the line opened as the Swindon, Marlborough and Andover Railway in 1881, and during the First World War a long siding was built from the station to the military camp at Draycot Foliat.

In 1930, with the M&SWJR having been taken over by the Great Western Railway and with greater competition from road transport, a halt was opened on the main line itself about half a mile from the camp. The station was a single platform with a shelter, and it was unstaffed and run from Chiseldon station.

In the Second World War the Americans were stationed in large numbers at the then-named Chiseldon Camp and the line was extensively used for military transportation, as it linked the Midlands to the south. But traffic on the M&SWJR fell steeply after the War and the line closed to passengers in 1961, with goods facilities withdrawn from this section of the line at the same time. No trace of the station now remains;  the rail route is part of the National Cycle Network.

"Love Me" is a sentimental song composed by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and recorded and popularized by Elvis Presley in 1956.

Background
Conceived as a parody of country and western music, it was initially recorded by R&B duo, Willy & Ruth, in 1954 (Spark 105), garnering a review spotlight in Billboard on August 14. Willie Headen was the lead singer of a vocal group, the Honey Bears, and Ruth was the wife of another group member. That record was quickly followed the same year with cover versions by Georgia Gibbs, Connie Russell, Billy Eckstine, Kay Brown, the Four Escorts, the Billy Williams Quartet, the Woodside Sisters and the DeMarco Sisters, and in January 1955 by Jimmie Rodgers Snow. Most of these records were well reviewed in the trades, but none was a hit.

Elvis Presley recording
Elvis Presley recorded the song on September 1, 1956, for his second album, Elvis (RCA Victor, LPM-1382), issued on October 19. It was also released on the EP, Elvis Vol. 1 (RCA Victor, EPA-992). It climbed to the #2 position on the Billboard Top 100 in the United States, a first for a title not coming from single. "Love Me" also peaked at number seven on the R&B chart. "Love Me" was not released as a single to avoid confusion with Presley's "Love Me Tender". Presley sang "Love Me" on the October 28, 1956, Ed Sullivan Show. Elvis included this song in the 1968 NBC Network Comeback Special  and often performed it in concerts in the seventies, including his last tour in June 1977.

In Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers Of All Time issue in 2008, Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant recalled singing the song with Elvis in 1974:
When I met Elvis with Zeppelin, after one of his concerts in the early '70s, I sized him up. He wasn't quite as tall as me, but he had a singer's build, and he was driven. At that meeting, Jimmy Page joked with Elvis that we never soundchecked – but if we did, all I wanted to do was sing Elvis songs. Elvis thought that was funny and asked me, 'Which songs do you sing?' I told him I liked the ones with all the moods, like that great country song 'Love Me' – 'Treat me like a fool/Treat me mean and cruel/But love me.' So when we were leaving, after a most illuminating and funny 90 minutes with the guy, I was walking down the corridor. He swung 'round the door frame, looking quite pleased with himself, and started singing that song: 'Treat me like a fool.' I turned around and did Elvis right back at him. We stood there, singing to each other. What he did was he made it possible for me, as a singer, to become otherworldly.

The Theban tomb TT29 is located in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, part of the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor. It is the burial place of the ancient Egyptian noble Amenemopet called Pairy who was vizier and governor of Thebes.

Amenemopet called Pairy was the son of Ahmose Humay (TT224) and Nub. His wife was called Weretmaatef. Amenemopet called Pairy was the cousin of Sennefer (TT96), and he had a son named Paser.

In the hall of the tomb six scenes are shown:
 Amenemopet and his wife make offerings before the god Ra
 Amenemopet offers to the ka of Amenhotep II
 Texts detailing the duties of the vizier
 Amenemopet is shown passing judgement as vizier.

The other two scenes contain more texts.

Spots (also known as spotting, knifers, knife hits, knife tokes, dots, hot knives, kitchen tracking blades, or bladers) refers to a method of smoking cannabis. Small pieces of cannabis are rolled (or simply torn from a larger bud) to form the spot.

The practice originated in the 1970s when drops or dabs of hashish oil were smoked (three dabs of hash oil were considered to be a good standard dose). Generally, the tips of two knife blades are heated, the spot or drop of hash oil, is compressed between the two blades, and the subsequent smoke is inhaled through the nose or mouth.

Another means that is gaining popularity is specially made glass presses heated with a propane or butane torch. In order to facilitate this process, a spottle (also referred to as a bowser, hooter or toker) or hitter is often, but not always, used to funnel the smoke and maximize the amount inhaled. A spottle is generally made from a funnel or cone-shaped container, such as the top (or neck) of a plastic or glass bottle or a gallon of milk/water.

Use in different countries
Although practiced over the world, the spots method of cannabis smoking is most common in New Zealand. Possession of knives that have been previously used for spotting (easily distinguished by their blackened and discoloured appearance) is considered "possession of paraphernalia" and is thus illegal under New Zealand law. If convicted, the accused faces a possible maximum 1-year prison sentence and/or a $500 fine. In 2008, six New Zealand soldiers were "sent home in disgrace" from their posting in Afghanistan after it was discovered they were spotting hashish. In the United Kingdom, this method of smoking is relatively rare, and appears to be getting rarer. One 1998 survey of regular UK cannabis users put usage of the "hot knives" technique at only 1.3%, down from 5.2% in 1984.

Health risks

Users spotting cannabis are susceptible to greater health risks than other methods of smoking cannabis. Spotting cannabis oil or resin is thought to be particularly harmful to the lungs, as the smoke comes off the oil at such a high temperature. One possible way of minimizing the risks of spotting marijuana is using cooler knives, leading to the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) being vaporised rather than the entire plant matter being burnt. Some users also fill the lower half of the spottle with ice (that stays in place by being frozen to the edges of the spottle), but much more common is to just freeze the bottle, which leads to a cooler smoke that is less harsh on the lungs.

Care must be taken not to touch the side of a plastic spottle with a hot knife when inhaling spots, as burning plastic gives off many toxic chemicals, including (in the case of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics) dioxin, a carcinogen. For this reason, many smokers prefer to use a glass bottle.

A 1998 joint submission by the Royal Society and the Academy of Medical Science on the recreational and medical use of marijuana expressed concern about the use and dissemination of the "hot knives" technique. The submission speculated that increasing use of methods of smoking that enable massive inhalation (and therefore higher intake of cannabinoids) may lead to an increase in incidents of short-term cannabis-related mental disturbance.

Other purposes
The same general procedure is also used with opium, morphine base paste, and black-tar heroin.

"Love Me" is a 1992 song by American singer–songwriter Tracie Spencer. Released on February 4, 1992, this song is the fifth and final single from Spencer's second album, Make the Difference which was released in August 1990. The song was written by Fil Brown and Tony Robinson.

Background
Like "Tender Kisses," "Love Me" is a ballad. The theme of the song focuses on Spencer asking someone to love her.

Music video
The video version of the song is slightly different from the album version. The love interest in the video was played by Ray Leonard Jr., son of boxer Sugar Ray Leonard. It features some of the same couples from the "Tender Kisses" video and is filmed in the same way as "Tender Kisses" in appearance and the general look of sadness. One scene focuses on a man, unconscious, who has a door on his chest indicating the door to his heart. A woman standing over him has a window on her chest and reaches into the window to retrieve and flower and places it into the doorway on the man's chest.

Chart information
"Love Me" followed up Spencer's number-one success of "Tender Kisses" on the Hot R&B Singles chart by peaking at number 2 in April 1992. On the Billboard Hot 100, the single performed moderately, hitting number 48 by the summer of 1992.

Aṅgula (from   - 'a finger; the thumb; a finger's breadth') is a measure of length.  Twelve aṅgulas make a Vitasti or span, and twenty-four a Hasta or Cubit. 108 Angulam make a 'Dhanusha'.

One Aṅgula during the Maurya period is believed to be approximately equal to 1.763 centimetres.

In the Hindu , the size of an aṅgula is considerably larger "the length of the middle digit [phalange] of the middle finger", (about 4.5 cm), but the ratios with the larger units remain unchanged.

The 1890 Ottawa Hockey Club season was the club's fifth season of play. Although the club was based at the Rideau Skating Rink, it played only two games against outside teams and did not participate in championship play.

Team business

P. D. Ross was named team president, and Frank Jenkins, again the captain. The Club became affiliated with the new Ottawa Amateur Athletic Club and adopted the red, black and white colours of the Association, and adopted the club's triskelion logo. The uniform was not yet the 'barber pole' design, but a white jersey with black trim and the Club logo, white knee breeches and black stockings.

Season
The Club played an exhibition game against the Montreal Victorias at the Rideau Rink (a 3–1 loss on February 25), in conjunction with the Canadian skating championships. The 'seconds' played five games, four against Ottawa College, now the second ice hockey team in town.

Nutbourne is a hamlet running north–south situated  east of Pulborough in the Horsham District of West Sussex and is in Pulborough civil parish. It is in the civil parish of West Chiltington.

The topographical features of the locality consist of gently sloping terrain of the Hythe Beds with a southerly aspect and a soil of loam on greensand readily suitable for cultivation. This together with a constant supply of water lead to the establishment of a farming settlement, probably by the Saxons, which was called knutu burna, meaning a stream with nut trees. At the time of the Domesday Survey the Manor of Nordborne was rated at six hides and contained two mills. During succeeding centuries it developed only very gradually.

Today it remains a small farming village. It has lost most of its soft fruit growing but has a thriving vineyard with public wine tasting in an old windmill from May to September. There is one public house, the Rising Sun. The shops have gone but a garage remains doing mechanical and bodywork repairs. Behind and within the walls of houses small businesses operate doing various kinds of work.

The village street rises northwards, and is developed on both sides with stone buildings and walls built up to the road frontage on the western side and grassed banks and hedges on the eastern. The stone walls lining the street and houses are listed of townscape value.

Represented in the village are various periods and styles of architecture, ranging from timber-framed cottages to modern red brick houses, all of a simple domestic scale with a variety of design, detailing, texture and irregular positioning and spacing along the road frontage giving the village its basic physical character. Stone is the predominant building material being used extensively for boundary walls as well as buildings. The rural nature of The Street results from the presence of grassed verges and banks instead of separate pavements for pedestrians, together with the abundance of planting along the frontages of properties. This character has been lost in places by the formation of lay-bys to serve new development.

At its northern end The Street divides into two, with the highway bending west and then northwards through a cutting towards Gay Street and North Heath, whilst the other part bends east past the former school to become a non-metalled bridle road. This narrow track becomes a dark, damp passage being bordered by banks and overhung by trees, but in a short distance it suddenly emerges into a small valley containing a mill pond surrounded by high wire fencing. There are stone former mill buildings to the south followed by a series of ponds. In the east there is a vineyard and to the north the valley is contained by a steep tree covered slopes with more ponds created by dams across a small brook. To the west are more gentle slopes with field boundaries defined by trees and bushes. The views outwards are restricted by the topography and as a result this valley is a distinctive environmental area, virtually isolated from the village, but retaining clear evidence of its historical associations with the settlement.

Governance
On a local level, Nutbourne is governed by Pulborough Parish Council.

The next level of government is Horsham District Council in parallel with West Sussex County Council, which has responsibility for Education, Libraries, Social Services, Civil Registration, Trading Standards and Transport. Elections for the District and County Council are held every four years.

The UK Parliament constituency for Nutbourne is Arundel and South Downs.

HMS Bedford was a 70-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Woolwich Dockyard on 12 September 1698. She carried twenty-two 24-pounder guns and four (18-pounder) culverins on the lower deck; twenty-six 12-pounder guns on the upper deck; fourteen (5-pounder) sakers on the quarter-deck and forecastle; and four 3-pounder guns on the poop or roundhouse.

On 8 October 1736 Bedford was ordered to be taken to pieces and rebuilt by Joseph Allin the younger according to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment at Portsmouth, from where she was relaunched on 9 March 1741.

Bedford was hulked in 1767, and served in this capacity until 1787, when she was sold out of the navy.

Bill Spiller (October 25, 1913 – 1988) was an American professional golfer who helped break the color barrier in the sport.

Biography
Spiller was born in Tishomingo, Oklahoma and moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma as a nine-year-old to live with his father; the city is noted for its racial tensions at the time, including the Tulsa race massacre. He was an excellent athlete, a two-sport star in high school. Spiller went on to enroll at Wiley College in Marshall, Texas, and earned an education degree.

He did not take up the sport of golf until he was about 30. Spiller moved to Southern California to try to make a living teaching, but he felt it was not enough to get by, taking up additional work as a railroad porter. Spiller was invited by another porter in Los Angeles to try competitive golf, and he started competing in and winning black-only amateur golf tournaments during the 1940s.

In 1948, Spiller was denied entry into the Richmond Open golf tournament in Richmond, California, due to the PGA of America's segregation policy, which restricted participation to white people only.

Spiller and fellow golfer Ted Rhodes filed a lawsuit challenging the PGA's discriminatory practices under the Taft-Hartley Act, but withdrew the suit after the PGA promised to end discrimination. However, the PGA continued to hold "invitational tournaments" from which African-American players were excluded.

In 1952, Spiller and Joe Louis were excluded from the San Diego Open, leading to national attention and threats of legal action. Again, the PGA promised change, but continued the segregation clause. In 1960, California attorney general Stanley Mosk intervened, threatening to prohibit the PGA from using public courses unless it ended discriminatory practices. The PGA finally relented in November 1961, removing the segregation clause.

Despite his efforts, Spiller's golf career had already been hindered, as he had started late and retired before the segregation clause was removed. In 2009, the PGA of America granted posthumous membership to Spiller, Rhodes, and John Shippen, and also honored Joe Louis with posthumous honorary membership.

Ogbourne railway station was on the Midland and South Western Junction Railway in Wiltshire, England. The station opened on 27 July 1881 on the  to Marlborough section of the Swindon, Marlborough and Andover Railway. In 1883, a northwards extension, the Swindon and Cheltenham Extension Railway, opened from Swindon Town to , with further northward extension to a junction with the Great Western Railway's Cheltenham to Banbury line near  opening in 1891, enabling through trains from the Midlands to the south, through Ogbourne. The SM&AR and the S&CER had in 1884 amalgamated to form the M&SWJR.

History

Ogbourne station was sited on a curved section of track to the north of the village of Ogbourne St George. The station had a passing loop on the single track line, and this loop was lengthened by troops during the Second World War to handle the long trains and considerable movements on this railway that military activity brought.

There was also a siding at Ogbourne St. Andrew used by the nearby horse stables.

As a whole, traffic on the M&SWJR fell steeply after the Second World War and the line closed to passengers in 1961, with goods facilities withdrawn from this section of the line at the same time. The over-bridge formed a dangerous choke point on the road and was removed in 1964. No trace of the station now remains, the Swindon to Marlborough A346 road having been realigned to run on the former railway route in 1969–1970. The road now passes over what was the station forecourt and the small freight yard, which had a loading dock for local cattle that had been herded down the village high street en route to Swindon market.

The Australian Army Band Corps (AABC) is the Australian Army's musical branch. It is roughly the equivalent of the Music Branch (Canadian Forces) and the Royal Corps of Army Music of the British Army. The Corps was formed on 2 August 1968 and provides the Army with musical support and seeks to improve the Army's public image. It consists of 11 individual bands; five full-time and six part-time which are located in the capital city of each state as well as the regional cities of Wagga Wagga, Townsville, and Newcastle.

The band’s mission is to support land operations and strategy through military and community engagement.

History
After World War II there was a need to make an assessment of the state of Army Bands. In 1951, Captain R.A. Newman was appointed the first Director of Music and in 1953 an Army School of Music was established to provide standardized formal training for Army musicians. Until 1961, Newman held the concurrent roles of Director of Music and Commanding Officer of the Army School of Music. In the 1960s focus centered on the conversion from brass band to military band instrumentation. First with the Band of the Royal Military College in 1964, all Regular Army bands were converted to this new format  by 1974. Prior to the formation of the (AABC), Army musicians were held on the Royal Australian Infantry Corps Special List. It was the ambition of senior band personnel to have the specialization of music recognized by the creation of a corps. This goal was realized on 2 August 1968 with the establishment of the AABC, the first of its type in the world. After the creation of the AABC, bands previously belonging to infantry battalions were reassigned to become area bands and were affiliated with particular host corps.

Three of the now former bands were recognized by the granting of Freedom of Entry to their units:

1MD Band (AAB Brisbane) – City of Brisbane in 1988
1MD Band (AAB Brisbane) – City of Gold Coast in 1989
1MD Band (AAB Brisbane) – Shire of Redland in 1989

AABC Association
The AABC Association originated from an idea expressed at the  opening of the J.J. Shelton Band Centre at the Army Recruit Training Centre in March 1987.  The association organized its first meeting on 10 June 1989, during which it was formally established. Since then the association has held reunions throughout Australia every year, growing to be an organization parallel to the Returned and Services League of Australia.

The goals of the association include the following:

The communication between all former members of Army bands through personal contact and annual reunions
To foster the development of relations between former and current serving members of the AAVC.
To support the activities of the AABC

The AABC Association was incorporated in Victoria on 5 October 2004. The association is led by an Executive Committee which is composed of a President, a Vice President and a Secretary.

The Paramount Theatre is located at 125 4th Avenue NE, Austin in the U.S. state of Minnesota. The theater was built by Wagner Construction as an atmospheric theatre in 1929 to great fanfare, being the by first movie palace in Austin accommodating 914 seats with a small stage and orchestra pit.

The theatre was designed by Ellerbe & Co. of Minneapolis, and built on the foundations of the Park Theatre which was destroyed by a tornado in 1928. The owner of the Park Theatre, and Paramount's first manager, was Karl Lindstaedt.

Atmospheric design elements depict a Spanish villa under the stars. The lobby ceiling was painted with figures of dogs, winged creatures, and Spanish designs, and the exterior architecture is Spanish Baroque.

The Paramount hosted both movies and live shows in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1929, movie tickets were 10 cents for children and 50 cents for adults.

It served the town as a first-run movie theatre until it closed in 1975, the genre being quashed by television and mall cinemas. The last movie shown was The Godfather Part II. After closing as a theater, the building served as a disco, a nonalcoholic teen bar, and a comedy club.

In 1992, the Austin Area Commission for the Arts was formed to purchase and restore the building to its historic grandeur. Volunteers and donors, with the assistance of the Minnesota Historical Society, repaired plaster and masonry and replaced the seats. A stone spire that had been hit by lightning in the 1940s was also repaired. Precision Signs LLC of Austin, Minnesota recreated the original marquee from historical photos.

Now seating 622, this is one of only four such theaters in the state to be used as a theater. With a full year-long events calendar, the site hosts over 30 performing arts events each year and weekly movies. Key partners are Matchbox Children's Theatre, Northwestern Singers, Austin (MN) Symphony Orchestra, World Music Series and the Minnesota Music Coalition's Carvan du Nord.

Marie-Thérèse Rossel (1 February 1910 – 18 June 1987) was a Belgian newspaper editor and businesswoman who headed the Rossel publishing company for fifty years.

Born in Ixelles, her father Victor Rossel was editor and manager of Le Soir, a French language newspaper published in Belgium founded by Victor's father Émile Rossel. During the First World War and the occupation of Belgium by Germany, the family went into exile at Bournemouth in England. On their return, Marie-Thérèse worked in the family business and succeeded her father as head of the family company on his death in 1935 when she was aged only 25. She headed the company in its various forms until her death.

Until 1946 Le Soir was edited by her appointee, lawyer Lucien Fuss, but Marie-Thérèse took on the editorial direction of the newspaper on Fuss's death and edited the paper until 1969 when she handed over to son-in-law Jean Corvilain.

She oversaw a considerable expansion of the Rossel business, an expansion which later led to conflict with French publisher Robert Hersant, owner of Le Figaro, who became a significant minority investor in Rossel in the 1980s.

Honors

She was the recipient of several honors including the Order of Leopold and the French Legion of Honour. The asteroid 1350 Rosselia, discovered by astronomer Eugène Delporte in 1934 was named in her honor.

WSEN (103.9 MHz) is an FM radio station licensed to Mexico, New York, United States. The station serves the Syracuse area and is currently owned by Wolf Radio, Inc., majority owned by Craig Fox.

History
 The station went on the air as WUPN on April 14, 1995, before giving those calls to the current WPNY-LD, a television station (as its call sign indicated, a UPN affiliate) in Utica, in May 1996. Then, on May 6, 1996, the station changed its call sign to WNDR (picking up the calls previously heard on the current WSKO); it became WVOQ in late 1998 (reflecting its simulcast of the original WVOA on 105.1 FM), WVOA on April 25, 2001 (picking up the call sign and programming from 105.1 after its sale to Clear Channel Communications), WVOU on May 19, 2009 (during a period in which the WVOA-FM call letters were moved back to 105.1 after Craig Fox reacquired that station), and then back to WVOA-FM on September 8, 2009 (after 105.1 became WOLF-FM). The -FM suffix was added to the WVOA call sign on May 7, 2002; this was the result of an unrealized construction permit for an AM station in DeWitt with the WVOA call sign that was commonly owned with the station. Despite a similarity in call signs, there was no relation between WVOA-FM and the Voice of America service.

Most of WVOA's programming was religious in nature; however, some non-religious programming aired on the station, including "The Wax Museum with Ronnie Dark," a program dedicated to garage rock, progressive rock, British Invasion music, and deep cuts from the 1960s and 1970s, and "Hablando con Central New York" (Talking with Central New York), a Spanish language talk show hosted by Hugo Acosta.

On October 5, 2013, WVOA moved its intellectual property to an existing analog low-power television station on channel 6 in Syracuse; such stations broadcast their audio feeds on 87.7 MHz, a channel generally receivable on most FM radios. The station then changed back to WNDR-FM and began stunting with Christmas music. On December 26, 2013 WNDR began stunting with all-Beatles, branded as "WBTL".

On January 20, 2014 WNDR-FM ended stunting and launched a classic hits format, branded as "The Dinosaur".

On April 6, 2016, the WNDR-FM call letters were swapped with WSEN-FM. The -FM suffix was dropped from the WSEN call sign on August 21, 2017.

HMS Orford was a 70-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Deptford in 1698.  She carried twenty-two 24-pounder guns and four (18-pounder) culverins on the lower deck; twenty-six 12-pounder guns on the upper deck; fourteen (5-pounder) sakers on the quarter-deck and forecastle; and four 3-pounder guns on the poop or roundhouse.

In 1704, during the War of the Spanish Succession, Orford served in Admiral Sir George Rooke's fleet in the Mediterranean; she was present as a member of the naval bombardment force at the Capture of Gibraltar. Shortly thereafter, at the Battle of Malaga, commanded by Captain John Norris, Orford was a member of the vanguard division of Rooke's fleet under Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell and Vice-Admiral John Leake; all these officers but the latter, who himself became First Lord of the Admiralty in 1710, were future admirals of the fleet.

In 1707, she belonged to Admiral Shovell's fleet. She saw action during the unsuccessful Battle of Toulon and was present during the great naval disaster off the Isles of Scilly when Shovell and four of his ships (Association, Firebrand, Romney and Eagle) were lost, claiming the lives of nearly 2,000 sailors. Orford suffered little to no damage and finally managed to reach Portsmouth. A track of the Orford's route from Cape Spartel to the Isles of Scilly based on the log kept by Lieutenant Anthony Lochard was published by May (1960).

She was rebuilt for the first time according to the 1706 Establishment at Limehouse, relaunching on 17 March 1713. She underwent a second rebuild in 1727.

In 1718 she was present at the Battle of Cape Passaro, and in 1736 she brought John Harrison and his first marine clock back from Lisbon.

Orford was wrecked on 13 February 1745 in the Windward Passage, though all her crew were saved.

WSIV (1540 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Christian radio format. Licensed to East Syracuse, New York, United States, the station serves the Syracuse area.  The station is owned by Cram Communications LLC, a company majority-owned by Craig Fox. WSIV also transmits programming via 106.3 FM translator W292EY.

History
The Wide Water Broadcasting Company received a construction permit to build a new radio station on 1540 kHz in East Syracuse on May 12, 1965. The company, consisting of local residents, built studios in the former Canada Dry Building on Erie Boulevard, Broadcasts began on December 6, 1965, with a full-service format. The station would adopt a full-time country music format in 1967.

Bruce A. Houston bought WPAW in 1969, but his future in Syracuse broadcasting would be frustrated when his bid to buy WONO-FM, a classical music station, was successfully blocked by a citizen's group. In 1973, he tried selling the station to Mars Hill Broadcasting Co., owner of Christian radio station WMHR, but the sale was dismissed months after it was proposed. WPAW was instead sold to Richard T. Crawford the next year, but the result was the same: WPAW took on a Christian format and adopted the callsign WYRD, going by "The Word". Crawford also relocated the transmitter to a site at Fremont and Myers roads in Syracuse, adjacent to the New York State Thruway. Surof Communications, a subsidiary of Forus Communications, purchased WYRD in 1979.

The call letters were changed to WSIV in 1981, after Forus acquired the FM station in DeRuyter, WOIV (105.1 FM), which had been owned by the Christian Broadcasting Network along with a string of other stations that had been previously owned by (and named for) the Ivy Broadcasting Company. WSIV and WOIV began simulcasting on November 2, 1981. The simulcast ended in January 1989, when low ratings prompted Forus to flip WOIV to classical music as WVOA; WSIV continued with its religious programs.

Cram Communications, a company owned by Craig Fox, bought WSIV and WVOA in 1996 for $900,000.

On July 13, 2021, WSIV began carrying the programming previously heard on WVOA-LP (87.7 FM).

Henry Ray Freshfield (2 February 1814 – 8 February 1895) was an English lawyer and conservationist.

Freshfield was the fourth and youngest son of James William Freshfield and his wife Mary Blacket and was born at Lothbury. His father was a lawyer who established the firm of Freshfields. The family moved to Abney House on Stoke Newington Church Street in the village of that name, then a few miles distant from the City of London.

Henry Freshfield was educated at Charterhouse School from 1824 to 1829. He became a solicitor with the family firm in 1838. He lived at Hampstead, another suburban village beginning to be encroached upon by the growing metropolis, where he participated in a long and successful struggle to rescue Hampstead Heath from landlords and builders.

Freshfield was solicitor to the Bank of England from 1857 to 1877, succeeding his brother Charles Freshfield. He became very prosperous. In 1874 he acquired Kidbrooke Park, East Grinstead, an 18th-century house with . He took an active part in local affairs; he was Justice of the Peace for Sussex and presented the village of Forest Row with its village hall. He was High Sheriff for the County in 1885. As at Hampstead, he was interested in the preservation of open spaces for the people, and was closely involved in the proceedings which led to Ashdown Forest being placed in the hands of conservators charged with preserving the rights of commoners and the public.

Freshfield married Jane Quinton Crawford on 1 October 1840. She was the daughter of William Crawford, MP for the City of London (1822-1841), who had made a fortune in the British East India Company. She was an author and her publications included "Alpine Byways" and "A Tour of the Grisons" (the Swiss Alps now known as Graubünden). Their son Douglas William Freshfield became a mountaineer and travel writer.
