Abraham Woodhull (October 7, 1750January 23, 1826) was a leading member of the Culper Spy Ring in New York City and Setauket, New York, during the American Revolutionary War. He used the alias "Samuel Culper" (later "Samuel Culper Sr."), which was a play on Culpeper County, Virginia, and was suggested by George Washington.

The Culper Ring was a successful operation that provided Washington with valuable information on the British Army headquartered in New York from October 1778 to the end of the war. After the United States gained independence, Woodhull served as a magistrate, as had his father before him, and served as a judge in Suffolk County, New York.

Background
Woodhull was a descendant of Richard Lawrence Woodhull, a wealthy settler of Setauket, and was also related to New York militia Brigadier General Nathaniel Woodhull. His parents were Judge Richard Woodhull and Mary Woodhull (née Smith).

Woodhull served as a lieutenant in the Suffolk County, New York, militia in the fall of 1775 but resigned after a few months. He was motivated by the murder of his cousin Brigadier General Nathaniel Woodhull of the New York militia, who was wounded by sword and bayonet cuts after he had been captured on August 29, 1776. According to some reports, he had been deprived of medical care and food and suffered an agonizing death on September 20, 1776, and Abraham Woodhull was inflamed against the British by that event. He did not immediately take up arms or begin spying, however, and was more placid than some of his friends, who joined the Continental Army at the outset of the war.

He was the only surviving son of aging parents, and he stayed on the family farm to attend to his family and their property.

Spy ring
Continental Army Major Benjamin Tallmadge was Woodhull's neighbor in Setauket and approached Woodhull in August 1778 about gathering intelligence for the Patriot cause during the American Revolutionary War. Woodhull had been caught smuggling contraband across Long Island Sound, and Tallmadge spoke with Connecticut Governor Jonathan Trumbull and got him released. Tallmadge then set up a spy network in New York, with Woodhull as the lead agent.

Woodhull began spying in October 1778 and sent his first "Samuel Culper" letter on October 29, 1778, after he had sworn an oath of loyalty to the Crown as cover. His plan was to travel to Manhattan, ostensibly to visit his married sister, Mary Underhill, and her husband, Amos, at their boarding house. In Manhattan, he collected information from various sources, including British officers staying at the Underhill boarding house and then return to Setauket, where he passed the information to the Continental Army lieutenant and whaleboat operator Caleb Brewster to take across Long Island Sound to Tallmadge.

Tallmadge then sent the information to General George Washington. Austin Roe became the main courier for the ring later after Woodhull stopped going to New York City to gather intelligence personally. He delivered messages via dead drop, burying them in a box in a pasture that he rented on Woodhull's property.

Later life

Woodhull married his friend Mary Smith in 1781 and had three children with her. He held a few minor political appointments, including magistrate in Suffolk County, New York, from 1799 to 1810. Mary died in 1806, and he married Lydia Terry in 1824.

He died in Setauket on January 23, 1826, and is buried in the Setauket Presbyterian Church and Burial Ground.

In popular culture
Warren Walker suggested in 1956 that James Fenimore Cooper's character Harvey Birch had been based upon the work of "Samuel Culper" as a spy. That would include both Woodhull as "Culper Sr." and Robert Townsend, who used the alias "Samuel Culper Jr."

Woodhull was portrayed from 2014 to 2017 by Jamie Bell in AMC's spy thriller and historical drama series Turn: Washington's Spies, which was based on Washington's Spies: The Story of America's First Spy Ring (2007) by Alexander Rose. Other people from Woodhull's life are portrayed in the show as well.

Peacehaven Community School is a mixed secondary school for 11 to 16-year-olds in Peacehaven, East Sussex in the United Kingdom.

The school was opened in 2001 following a 40-year campaign by the local community for a secondary school in Peacehaven.

It is an Academy administered and governed by the Swale Academies Trust, a status it gained in September 2019. The current Head of School was Darren Warner-Swan with Liza Leung as Executive Headteacher on behalf of the Trust.

Previously, it was a foundation school administered by East Sussex County Council and the Peacehaven Co-operative Learning Trust. With governance of the school being undertaken by an Interim Executive Board between 2013 until 2018.

Ofsted inspections

The school was inspected by Ofsted in 2013 and again in 2016. For both inspections, the school was awarded a grade 3 or 'requires improvement' mark overall, despite previously being a 'good' school. This was reflected in the then-latest exam results, released in August 2016, which showed only 38% of students achieving 5 A*-C GCSEs (or equivalent) inc. English and maths compared to the 53% national average. This was 4 points down on the previous year from 42%, despite local authority intervention in the governance of the school and consultation and guidance of the Swale Academies Trust.

It was once again inspected in October 2018, and was awarded a grade 2 or 'good' mark overall.

Following the academisation of the school, it has not yet had another inspection.

Academy Conversion Controversy
Prior to being converted to Academy status, parents and teachers went on strike in opposition over the plans, citing concerns such as a gender pay gap at the Swale Academies Trust and the way in which the conversion was imposed upon the school by an Interim Education Board, garnering national press attention.

East Sussex County Council and the Interim Education Board defended their decision, arguing "It remains our view and view of the Interim Executive Board (IEB) that this is the right course of action to secure strong leadership and continued improvements at the school."

Local MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle also campaigned heavily against academisation.

Nevertheless, the academisation process was completed in September 2019.

Elliot Grandin  (born 17 October 1987) is a French professional footballer who plays as a winger for Championnat National 3 club Cannet Rocheville.

Grandin can also play as a central attacking midfielder. He notably played in the Premier League for Blackpool and previously in France for Caen, Marseille, Nice and Grenoble. He also played for CSKA Sofia, Astra Giurgiu, Ermis Aradippou, Fréjus Saint-Raphaël, JS Saint-Pierroise, as well as stints back in England with Crystal Palace, Shrewsbury Town and Grimsby Town. Grandin has played for France at under-21 level.

Club career

Caen
Grandin began his career at his hometown club, Caen and signed his professional contract at the club.  He made his debut for the first team in the 2004–05 season, making just one substitute appearance, on 28 May 2005 in a 3–2 defeat to Istres as Caen were relegated from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2. This turns out to be his only appearance of the season. In opening game of the 2005–06 season, Grandin started the season well when he scored his first goal for Caen, in a 3–2 loss against Créteil. Grandin scored his second goal of the season, in a 5–0 win against Valenciennes in the first round of the Coupe de la Ligue on 22 September 2005. He once again scored against them for the second time this season, losing 2–1 on 15 September 2006. A month later on 10 February 2006, Grandin scored his third goal of the season, in a 1–0 win against Sète. The club finished fourth in Ligue 2, missing out on promotion to Ligue 1 on goal difference. With his playing time at SM Caen increased, he made a total of nineteen league appearances, scoring three goals (twenty–two appearances and scoring four times in all competitions).

In the 2006–07 season, Grandin scored his first goal of the season, in a 1–0 win against Créteil-Lusitanos on 7 November 2006. He then scored his second goal of the season, in a 3–2 win against Dijon on 22 December 2006. Two weeks later on 7 January 2007, Grandin scored his third goal of the season, in a 2–1 loss against Valenciennes in the first round of the Coupe de France. As he became a first team regular at the club, Grandin was part of the Caen squad that finished as runners-up and won promotion to Ligue 1 after beating Libourne 2–1 in the last game of the season. At the start of the 2007–08 season, Grandin continued to be in the first team for the side despite finding his playing time, coming from the substitute bench. He then scored his first goal of the season, as well as, setting up one of the goals, in a 5–0 win against Bordeaux on 24 November 2007. Grandin also scored two more goals, coming from Coupe de la Ligue matches against Toulouse and Lyon. His performance attracted interest from Marseille. By the time he departed from Caen, Grandin made a total of 55 league appearances for the club and scoring six goals.

Marseille
On 28 January 2008, midway through the 2007–08 season, Grandin joined Marseille for €400,000. However upon leaving Caen, he was criticised by manager Franck Dumas.

In his first match for the club against Monaco in the last 16 of the Coupe de France, he made an assist for the second goal scored by Mathieu Valbuena, in a 3–1 win. Grandin's debut for Marseille came on 9 February 2008 against Nice and started the match, playing 89 minutes before being substituted, in a 2–0 win. On 17 May 2008, the last day of the season against Strasbourg, he came on as a substitute after an injury to striker Mamadou Niang, and sent his pass set up to Nasri to score as Marseille won 4–3 and so qualified for the preliminary round of the Champions League. At the end of the 2007–08 season, Grandin made eight league appearances, most of them as a substitute.

In the 2008–09 season, Grandin was in the starting line-up in the first game of the season at Rennes, scoring Marseille's fourth goal in stoppage time, in a 4–4 draw. On 13 August 2008, he made his European debut in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, in a single-goal victory at Norwegian side Brann. Four days later on 17 August 2008, Grandin scored his second goal for the club, in a 4–0 win against Auxerre. In the return leg against Brann, he helped Marseille win 2–1 to advance to the next round of the UEFA Cup tournament. However, Grandin then fell out of favour into the plans of Eric Gerets and lack of playing time in Marseille. As a result, he was linked a move away from the club in the January transfer window, with clubs, such as, Grenoble, Le Havre and Strasbourg were interested in signing him. By the time Grandin departed from Marseille, he  made a further eight appearances, scoring twice.

Grandin joined fellow Ligue 1 side Grenoble on loan for five months on 30 January 2009. He made his debut on 7 February 2009, starting the whole game, in a goalless home draw with Valenciennes. Grandin became a first team regular for the club, rotating in playing either midfield and striker positions. He made a total of eight appearances before returning to Marseille at the end of the season. Having been told by new manager Didier Deschamps of being in a new plan ahead of the new season, Grandin was linked a move away from Marseille, with Standard Liège, Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham City interested in signing him in the summer transfer window. On 18 August 2009, it was reported by L'Équipe that he would go on trial in England with Premier League club Stoke City five days later and that Stoke had first option on the player for around €1 million. After returning to France, Marseille released Grandin from his contract on 2 September. The club later called him as one of the worst signings.

CSKA Sofia
On 5 January 2010, Grandin was reportedly in negotiations with Romanian Liga I club Rapid Bucharest, and was believed to be about to sign for the club; however, on 20 January he signed an 18-month contract with Bulgarian A PFG club CSKA Sofia, after they gave him an improved offer that gave him 30% of any future sale proceeds.

However, Grandin suffered a setback with an injury during the winter break and was sidelined for a month. He made his competitive debut for the club on 13 March 2010 against Sportist Svoge, scoring the opening goal and providing an assist in a 4–1 win. Grandin then scored his second goal for CSKA Sofia, in a 4–2 win against OFC Sliven on 10 April 2010. He scored two goals in two matches between 24 April 2010 and 2 May 2010 against Slavia Sofia and Lokomotiv Sofia. Grandin became a first team regular for the club, and helped CSKA Sofia finish second. Despite missing a total of three matches later in the 2009–10 season, he made a total of ten league appearances and scoring four goals.

Ahead of the 2010–11 season, his performances attracted interests from clubs around Europe. But Grandin wanted to stay at CSKA Sofia, only to later to have a change of heart. He played in the opening match of the 2010–11 season, a 1–0 home defeat to local rivals Levski Sofia in the first Eternal derby of the season, on 1 August 2010. Four days later on 5 August 2010, Grandin played in a 2–1 win over Northern Irish IFA Premiership side Cliftonville at Windsor Park, Belfast, in the Third qualifying round of the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League, in what turned out to be his last appearance for the Reds.

Blackpool
On 11 August 2010, Grandin signed for newly promoted Premier League club Blackpool on a two-year deal, with the option for a third year.

Three days after signing for the club, he made his debut as Blackpool made their bow in the Premier League and set up a goal for Marlon Harewood, who scored twice in a 4–0 win over Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium. Since joining the club, Grandin was involved in the first team, playing in the midfield position and spoke positively of manager Ian Holloway's personality and tactics. He then played a role in two separate matches against West Bromwich Albion on 1 November 2010 and then against Bolton Wanderers on 27 November 2010 by assisting both matches that saw Blackpool earn a draw and win respectively. However, Grandin suffered a hamstring injury during a match against Sunderland on 28 December 2010 and was substituted in the 19th minute, as the club lost 2–0. But he made his return to the starting line–up against Liverpool on 12 January 2011 and played 64 minutes before being substituted, in a 2–1 win. On 12 February 2011, Grandin scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 home draw with Aston Villa. Shortly after, Grandin suffered a hamstring injury that saw him miss two matches. He then made his return to the starting line–up against Blackburn Rovers on 19 March 2011 and played 66 minutes before being substituted, in a 2–2 draw. However, Blackpool were relegated to the Championship after losing 4–2 against Manchester United in the last game of the season. At the end of the 2010–11 season, Grandin made twenty–four appearances and scoring once in all competitions.

In the 2011–12 season, Grandin made three starts for Blackpool, as the club earned six points in the first two league matches of the season. However, he suffered an injury on his toe that kept him out for four weeks. After missing 17 games through injury, Grandin made his return to the first team against Barnsley on 26 December 2011, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute, in a 3–1 win. Two weeks later on 14 January 2012, he scored his first goal of the season and later set up Blackpool's second goal of the game, in a 2–2 draw against Ipswich Town. In a follow–up match against Crystal Palace, Grandin scored his second goal of the season, in a 2–1 win. By the time he was loaned out to OGC Nice, Grandin went on to make seven appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.

In the 2012–13 season, Grandin return to Blackpool after Nice failed to sign him on a permanent basis. Upon returning to the club, he switched number shirt to ten. Grandin made his first appearance of the season against Morecambe in the first round of the League Cup on 12 August 2012, coming on as a second half substitute, in a 2–1 loss. A month later on 18 September 2012, he won a penalty and successfully converted the penalty himself, in a 4–1 win over Middlesbrough. Shortly after, Grandin was not included for the next five matches, after scoring his first goal, and trained with the club's development squad, as manager Holloway explained his reason for leaving out the player as being a bad attitude. In response, he said his intention was wanted to leave Blackpool and expressed his love of the city. Upon his returning to the squad, Grandin scored his first second goal of the season and set up the club's second goal of the game five minutes later, in a 2–2 draw against Nottingham Forest on 22 October 2012. This was followed up by scoring his third goal of the game, in a 1–1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion. However, the departure of Holloway led to the player's first team opportunities being reduced and appeared an unused substitute for the remainder of the matches played.  At the end of the 2012–13 season, he went on to make thirteen appearances and scoring three times in all competitions. Following this,  Grandin was released by the club.

Loan to Nice
Grandin returned to his native country by signing a season-long loan deal with OGC Nice on 28 January 2012. Upon joining the club, he said: "I have had great experiences abroad, in Bulgaria and in England, but I really wanted to come back to France. I felt like I didn't finish the job here. So when the Nice opportunity presented itself, I did everything to make it happen. It is a real challenge for me, I really want to help the club." It was later revealed that a family factor was the reason Grandin returned to his native country to resolve his problem there.

Grandin made his debut for OGC Nice, starting the whole game, in a 2–1 loss against his former club, Marseille on 1 February 2012. Three days later on 4 February 2012, he made his first league appearance in three years, starting a match and playing 63 minutes before being substituted, in a 1–1 draw against Ajaccio. His involvement in the first team for the rest of the 2011–12 season saw him make thirteen appearances in all competitions. Following this, the club did not take up the option to make his move permanent and he returned to Blackpool.

Crystal Palace
In August 2013, Holloway's new club Crystal Palace signed Grandin from Blackpool on a free transfer.  He made his debut on 27 August, in a 2–1 defeat against Bristol City in the second round of the League Cup. In January 2014, Grandin's contract was cancelled by mutual consent, under the management of Tony Pulis, without having made a league appearance.

Return to Blackpool
On 6 February 2014, Grandin returned to Blackpool on a deal until the end of the 2013–14 season after leaving Crystal Palace at the end of January. Following his return, he said moving back to the club felt like home and revealed that interim manager Barry Ferguson played a role of giving him a chance.

Grandin re-debuted for the club, where he came on for Ángel Martínez, in the 67th minute, as Blackpool and Nottingham Forest drew 1–1 on 8 February 2014. Grandin then scored his first goal for the club, as Blackpool lost 2–1 to Yeovil Town on 5 April 2014. However, he found his first team opportunities limited and found his playing time, coming from the substitute bench. At the end of the 2013–14 season, Grandin went on to make seven appearances and scoring once in all competitions for his second spell at the club. Following this, Blackpool opted not to offer him a new contract. Following his departure from Blackpool, he was linked with a move to Championship clubs, including a return to Blackpool.

Later career
After leaving Blackpool, Grandin moved to Romania, where he joined Astra Giurgiu on 15 August 2014. Grandin made his debut for the club against Rapid Bucharest on 24 August 2014, coming on as a 74th-minute substitute and scored his first goal for Astra Giurgiu, in a 2–0 win. However, his first team opportunities at the club was limited and found his playing time, coming from the substitute bench. This was due to his struggles in settling in the country. As a result, Grandin found himself in a dispute with Astra Giurgi over an unpaid salary and left the club.

Grandin returned to England, signing for Shrewsbury Town in League One on a short-term deal until the end of the season in February 2016. He was released without making a first team appearance.

After spending six months as a free agent and signing for Cypriots side Ermis Aradippou, Grandin made his debut for the club, coming on as an 85th-minute substitute, in a 2–0 win against Karmiotissa on 15 January 2017. A month later on 18 February 2017, he scored his first goal for Ermis Aradippou, having come on as an 83rd-minute substitute, in a 4–0 win. In a follow–up match against AEK Larnaca, Grandin set up two goals for the club, as they lost 3–2. He later scored two more goals for Ermis Aradippou, coming against Doxa Katokopias and Ethnikos Achna. At the end of the 2016–17 season, Grandin went on to make thirteen appearances and scoring three times in all competitions.

After leaving Cyprus, Grandin returned to France with Fréjus Saint-Raphaël of the Championnat National 2 (fourth tier) on 26 January 2018. He made his debut for the club, starting the whole game, in a 1–0 win against Paulhan-Pézenas on 3 February 2018. At the end of the 2017–18 season, Grandin went on to make nine appearances in all competitions for Étoile Fréjus Saint-Raphaël. The following year, he moved to JS Saint-Pierroise of Réunion, and was part of their team on 4 January 2020 that won 2–1 away to Niort to become the second Outre-Mer club to reach the last 32 of the Coupe de France, and first since French Guianan champions ASC Le Geldar in 1989.

On 31 January 2020, the last day of the 2019–20 winter transfer period, Grandin returned to England joining League Two side Grimsby Town until the end of the season to link up with former manager Ian Holloway. He made his debut for the club, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute, in a 1–1 draw against Bradford City on 8 February 2020.

Rose Hacker (3 March 1906 – 4 February 2008) was a British socialist, writer, sex educator and campaigner for social justice. At her death, aged 101, she was the world's oldest newspaper columnist.

Life
Hacker was born in central London. Her parents were middle class Jewish immigrants, and her father ran a business making women's clothes. She studied art, design, French and German at the Regent Street Polytechnic, but was a voracious learner outside formal education, aided by an incredible memory. After leaving polytechnic, she worked for her father as a model, designer and assistant, while keeping up a full social life in London.
She had to give up her first love, a doctor, because the social mores and economic realities of the day forced him to choose between marriage and a career. She was outraged that life should create such situations, but later had a happy marriage with Mark Hacker, an accountant. They had two sons and adopted a daughter.

She developed her talents as an artist and sculptor, having a piece displayed in the British Museum. She remained active even late in life, practising belly-dancing, T'ai chi and the Alexander Technique, and swimming most days. In 2007, she and two fellow care home residents performed a dance choreographed specially for them at The Place, in Euston.

Work

Hacker became a pacifist and socialist in her teens, having seen wounded soldiers returning from World War I, and hunger marchers from Wales and the Midlands in Oxford Street. In the 1930s she worked against fascism and to relieve the sufferings of the working class during the Great Depression. In 1931, at the height of Joseph Stalin's purges, she visited the USSR along with the Sydney & Beatrice Webb. Writing of her trip in the Camden New Journal, Hacker said: 'of course we didn't know what he (Stalin) was doing then' seemingly indicating that, like many people on the left at that time, she did not believe the atrocity stories circulating about the regime. The phrase 'we did not know' in regard to Stalin's terror has to be set alongside the fact that, also in 1931, a conference against 'slavery in Russia' took place at London's Royal Albert Hall. Hacker's activism continued as she became involved with the Co-operative Correspondence Club, and she became more involved with education, counselling and helping the disadvantaged through her work as a relationship counsellor with the Marriage Guidance Council after the Second World War. This led to work in prisons, mental hospitals and with the disabled, and she also championed housing rights and equality for all.

In 1949, she was one of the researchers for a study on sexual behaviour in Britain, dubbed "Little Kinsey" after the 1948 American Kinsey Report. The study grew out of Britain's Mass Observation programme and was partly funded by the Daily Mirror's Sunday Pictorial. It went further than the first Kinsey Report by interviewing women as well as men, but its findings were deemed shocking and few were made public.

One of the biggest problems she uncovered was that of unconsummated marriages. Hacker wrote several books, but it was her sex education book, Telling the Teenagers: A guide to parents, teachers and youth leaders (1957), that became a best seller. It was revised and republished in 1960 as The Opposite Sex: Vital knowledge about adult relationships – from your first "date" to married life and love.

After years of serving on voluntary and local government organisations, Hacker was elected to the Greater London Council as Labour Party member for St Pancras. Her election slogan was "bring the countryside to London". She was also chair of the Thames Waterways Board.

When the editor of her local North London newspaper, the Camden New Journal heard her speak on nuclear disarmament, he offered her a fortnightly column in the paper.
The column first appeared in September 2006 and generated considerable interest. For the last 18 months of her life she was in great demand for television, radio and magazine interviews and articles. She wrote the column as a personal testament to the truth, and was disappointed to discover no one had written in to complain about it.

Hacker died in hospital in 2008 after a fortnight's illness.

Astrid Løken (14 April 1911 – 19 January 2008) was a Norwegian entomologist and member of the Norwegian resistance movement during World War II. Spending most of her career at Bergen Museum, from 1949 to 1979, she was the first female member of the Norwegian Entomological Society, and specialized in the bumblebee genus Bombus.

Early career
Astrid Løken was born in 1911 in Kristiania, which was renamed Oslo in 1925. She enrolled at the University of Oslo, and graduated as cand.real. in 1942. In 1941 she became the first female member of the Norwegian Entomological Society.

Occupation of Norway
On 9 April 1940, Norway was invaded by Nazi Germany and occupied after a two-month campaign. In the spring of 1941, Løken was recruited to XU, a clandestine intelligence organization which answered to the Norwegian High Command-in-exile in the United Kingdom. She bore the nom de guerre "Eva".

According to one historian, students of natural sciences were well-suited for intelligence work, as they were practically oriented and used to working in the field. In addition, their photography in the field was often regarded as inconspicuous. In 1943, Løken was granted access to Hardangervidda, a military restricted area. Under the cover of studying the genus Bombus, she had been cleared by Reichskommissar Josef Terboven, the highest Nazi leader in Norway. Travelling freely in the area, Løken managed to photograph roads, bridges and other installments. At Hardangervidda, she had access to a darkroom where she developed pictures for both entomological and military use. Since 1941 Løken used a laboratory at the Department of Biology during the night for illegal photography.

In addition to contributing her own material, she coordinated the sorting of intelligence material which was sent to the XU headquarters in Oslo. She would typically transport material by bicycle in the middle of the night. Number four in the organization, she was among the few who actually knew the location of these headquarters.

In the case of her cover being blown, she carried a cyanide suicide pill at all times. In addition, she kept a pistol, incendiary bombs and hand grenades in her bedroom. She notably escaped apprehension on 16 December 1943.

Academic career
Hospitalized near the end of World War II due to general exhaustion, she travelled to the United States shortly after the May 1945 liberation of Norway, where she studied horticulture and entomology at Michigan State College. She described the Department of Entomology at Michigan State College as "impressing", in contrast to the "miserable" conditions in Norway at the time. She also spent two months in 1947 at a research station in Logan, Utah. However, in Michigan, the unmarried Løken was barred from conducting field research together with married men, as this could "spoil their reputation".

She returned to Norway, and was given her first academic position as a research assistant at the Norwegian College of Agriculture. In 1949 she was hired as associate curator at the department of zoology, Bergen Museum. She mainly worked on  building the entomological collection there, as well as conducting field studies. She later became chief curator, and took the dr.philos. degree in 1973 with her thesis Studies on Scandinavian Bumble Bees. Retiring in 1979, she entered a new position as senior research fellow at the University of Oslo, where she stayed until 1990.

Løken published more than fifty scientific papers. Among others, she studied the species Bombus consobrinus and the subgenus Psithyrus.

Løken served as deputy chairman of the Norwegian Entomological Society from 1960 to 1965. She was responsible for the Nordic Entomological Convention in 1977, the first of its kind to be held in Norway outside of Oslo. She was given honorary membership in  1991.

Francis Chris Malonga Ntsayi (born 11 July 1987) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Racing Besançon. Born in France, he represented Congo at international level.

Club career

Youth career and Nancy
Malonga was born in Sens, France. After starting in the small club Migennes he moved to Auxerre, he began his career with hometown club AJ Auxerre and spent three years at the club before joining CS Louhans-Cuiseaux. After a year's stint there, he joined Nancy and spent three years in the club's youth academy. He made his professional debut during the 2007–08 season, in a 1–0 win over Caen on 11 August 2007. In the next game, on 16 August 2007, he provided the assist for a Pascal Berenguer goal, which turned out to be a winning goal in a 2–1 win against Nice. Two weeks later, on 25 August 2007, he scored his first Ligue 1 goal in a 4–1 against Auxerre. He went on to establish himself in the first team at the club, under new manager Pablo Correa.

Four months later, he scored the winning goal in a 1–0 win over Bordeaux, leading the club to go onto second place. But when both clubs meet again on 29 March 2008, which Bordeaux won 2–1, he was judged to have fouled opposition player Johan Micoud in the penalty box, leading to a penalty which was converted by Fernando Cavenaghi. TV replays suggested it was the opposite way around. Having been a victim of refereeing errors, Micoud received a one-match ban by the Disciplinary Committee of the Professional Football League, for his role by cheating to win a penalty. Despite this, he scored on the final game of the season in a 3–2 loss against Rennes. At the end of the season, Malonga had a successful debut season, making 32 appearances and scoring 5 goals. He shortly signed a new contract, keeping him until 2011.

In the 2008–09 season Malonga made twelve appearances, due to having a two strain injury, which ruled him out for the rest of the season. In the 2009–10 campaign, he recaptured his form and had a good season scoring 4 goals and 6 assists in 25 league matches, including a two goals in consecutive games against Lille and Le Mans on May. Despite this, ASNL decided to part ways with Malonga. In the 2010–11 season, he made two appearances before leaving for Monaco.

On 12 September 2010, he made his debut in a 2–2 draw, against Marseille, having come on as a substitute. Two months later, on 7 November 2010, he scored a brace in a 4–0 win over his former club Nancy. However, the club would be relegated to Ligue 2, due to poor results and Malonga remained at the club despite the club's relegation. The next season, Malonga featured for the last eight games but soon disappeared from the first team, due to new signing.

After two unhappy season at Monaco without making an impact, Malonga went to Switzerland joining Lausanne-Sport on loan for the rest of the season where he will join up with national teammate Matt Moussilou. On 14 July 2012, he made his debut, playing in the left-midfield in a 0–0 draw against Thun and two weeks later, he scored his first goal and provided an assist, in a 5–1 win over Servette. During his time with Lausanne-Sport, Malonga became a key player for the club and was a goalscoring threat throughout the season. He returned to Monaco after his one year in Switzerland.

Later career
Malonga once again left Monaco in the last days of the transfer window, to sign a one-year contract with Primeira Liga club Vitória de Guimarães.

After one year alone to treat a wound, he joined Martigues in January 2019.

In August 2021, Malonga signed for Racing Besançon.

International career
Born in France, Malonga holds French and Congolese nationalities.

He made his debut with for the Congo national team in 2008.

The Mamalilikulla Band is a First Nations band government based on northern Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.  The home territory of the Mamalilikulla and Qwe-Qwa'Sot'Em groups of Kwakwaka'wakw was in the maze of islands and inlets of the eastern Queen Charlotte Strait region around the opening of Knight Inlet, mainly on Village Island, where their principal village Memkumlis is (often known by the name Mamalilikulla).

The band is a member of the Kwakiutl District Council.

Indian reserves
The band has three reserves:
Apsagayu Indian Reserve No. 1A, Shoal Harbour, Gilford Island, 0.90 ha.
Compton Island Indian Reserve No. 6, all of Compton Island between Harbledown and Swanson Islands, 56.30 ha.
Mahmalillikullah Indian Reserve No. 1, on the west end of Village Island facing Eliot Passage, including 3 small off-shore islands, 175.20 ha.

Under the terms of a proposed separation of the band into two new bands, Apsagayu IR No. 1A would be the only reserve for the smaller of the two resulting bands, the Mamalilikulla Band and the Wiamasgum-Qwe'Qwa'Sot'Em Band.  The proposed division of the two bands relates to the history of the destruction of Gwayasdums in 1856 when the surviving Kwicksutaneuk of that village were mostly taken in by the Mamalilikulla, and subsequent Indian Reserve Commissions by Peter O'Reilly and other actions and documentation by the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs effectively amalgamated the two peoples as one band.  The position of the Mamalilikulla and Qwe'Qwa'Sot'Enox is that this merger was illegal and they want it undone.  The Qwe-Qwa-Sot'Enox are the families within the band self-identity, as distinct from the Kwikwasut'inuxw, the other group of descendants of survivors of the destruction of Gwayasdums who are now part of the Kwikwasut'inuxw Haxwa'mis First Nation.

A lane meter (or lanes in meters) is a unit of deck area in roll-on/roll-off ships, cargo vessels where containers or other cargo, including ferried vehicles, can be rolled or driven on and off. A lane meter is defined as a strip of deck one meter long. A lane is conventionally 2 meters wide, so that a lane meter is equivalent to .

The rule of thumb is that a car on a car ferry will need 6 lane meters, and a European semitrailer 18 lane meters.

Major General Sir Charles Metcalfe MacGregor KCB CSI CIE (12 August 12, 1840 – 5 February 1887) was a British explorer, geographer and officer of the British Indian Army.  He was the Quartermaster General for the British Army in India, the head of the Intelligence Department for the British Indian Army and served under Frederick Roberts in the Second Anglo-Afghan War.  The MacGregor Medal is awarded in his honour.

Biography
Of Scottish descent, MacGregor was born in Agra, India, the son of Major Robert Guthrie MacGregor of the Bengal Artillery.
His grandfather was Major-General James MacGregor of the Bengal Cavalry.  MacGregor was schooled at Marlborough College before returning to India at the age of 16 to join the Bengal Army.
Arriving just in time for the Indian Rebellion of 1857, MacGregor fought in a number of actions, including at Lucknow and was wounded twice.

MacGregor earned successive promotions whilst serving variously in campaigns in China, the Bhutan War (where he became the deputy assistant Quartermaster General) and Abyssinia including at the Battle of Magdala.  In the Second Afghan War MacGregor served as Quartermaster General on the Khyber communication lines and commanded the 3rd Brigade of the Kabul-Kandahar field force at the Battle of Kandahar.  In the second phase of the Second Afghan War he became Commander Stewart's and Earl Roberts' chief of staff.  After the Second Afghan War, training of men in intelligence gathering became the responsibility of the Quartermaster General and MacGregor served in this role for the East Indies until 1885.

In 1870, MacGregor founded the United Service Institution of India for the "furtherance of interest and knowledge in the art, science and literature of the Defence Services."

Les Planches-près-Arbois (, literally Les Planches near Arbois) is a commune in the Jura department in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in eastern France.

Population

Geography
The village is located in the Reculée des Planches, a gorge which is home to a series of impressive caves and ends in abrupt, limestone cliffs and scree slopes, making it one of the Jura's most prized natural sites. The whole of the gorge is a protected, natural area and also a Natura 2000 site.

The landscapes and the viewpoints are protected. This protection strictly limits any expansion of the village but seems to correspond to the current inhabitants' desire to treasure their shared heritage.

Cranage is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. According to the 2001 Official UK Census, the population of the entire civil parish was 1,131 which had risen to 1,184 by the 2011 census.

History
The establishment of a community in Cranage is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The name derives from the Old English of Crāwena-læcc, which means crows stream. The manor of Cranage, unlike many estates, has not remained in one family but had changed hands many times. Historically, Cranage was an agricultural area which had a wide variation of farming activities.

Cranage Hall was one of the principal dwellings in the area. It is believed that it was built in the 17th century incorporating elements of an earlier hall. Lawrence Armistead had the Hall demolished in the 19th century and the current Cranage Hall built in 1829, to a design by Lewis Wyatt. The Hall remained in possession of the Armistead family until 1920. Subsequently, it was converted into part of the Cranage hospital, and on the hospital's closure became a conference centre.

The parish contains neither a church nor a chapel that is currently used. but is served by the nearby church of St. Luke, Holmes Chapel. The village school was closed in 1990 as a result of the drop in the number of pupils. There is no shop or post office in the parish.

The Old Vicarage Hotel, originally built in the 17th century, provides accommodation. The Swan Inn, an earlier source of accommodation, has changed purpose and is now Swan Farm.

A Journey through Time: Holmes Chapel, Cotton and Cranage, by Annabel Capewell, Rosemary Dear, Patricia Dingle, Rodney Smith, Terry Taylor and Janet Yarwood was published in 1996.

Zazzle is an American online marketplace that allows designers and customers to create their own products with independent manufacturers (clothing, posters, etc.), as well as use images from participating companies. Zazzle has partnered with many brands to amass a collection of digital images from companies like Disney, Warner Brothers and NCAA sports teams. Zazzle claims to have over 300 million unique products listed on the site.

History
Zazzle was launched from their garage by Robert, Bobby, and Jeffrey Beaver, and went live in 2005. The company received an initial investment of US$16 million in July 2005 from Google investors John Doerr and Ram Shriram, and an additional investment of US$30 million in October 2007.

The site was recognized by TechCrunch as 2007's "best business model" in its first annual Crunchies awards, and has been noted by industry experts, such as B. Joseph Pine, for its easy-to-use technology. It is based in Redwood City, California.

Zazzle.com offers digital printing, and embroidered decoration on their retail apparel items, as well as other personalization techniques and items.

Custom stamp printing
Starting in 2005, Zazzle offered custom stamp printing in a partnership with the United States Post Office (USPS). However, on May 15, 2018, Zazzle stopped the custom stamp printing due to new regulations by the USPS.

Font lawsuit
In August 2022, graphic designer Nicky Laatz sued Zazzle, saying that the company had secretly purchased a one-user license for her trademarked and copyright-protected fonts and then made them available to all of its hundreds of thousands of designers and tens of millions of users, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars of profits for Zazzle from products that incorporated her fonts. The lawsuit claims that Zazzle had recommended her font as their second most popular font, and that five of Zazzle's twelve most-popular business cards, as well as several of its most-popular wedding invitations used her fonts.

Bay State Raceway, later known as New England Harness Raceway, Foxboro Raceway, and Foxboro Park was a harness racing track located in Foxborough, Massachusetts, United States that operated from 1947 until 1997. It stood next to Foxboro Stadium and the site of Gillette Stadium. Track owner E. M. Loew gave the land for Foxboro Stadium to New England Patriots owner Billy Sullivan in order to keep the team in New England.

Early years
Bay State Raceway was founded by movie theatre magnate Elias (E.M.) Loew, Paul Bowser, and Ed Keller. It opened on September 1, 1947. A reported 12,000 people attended the first night of racing. The track's $55,523 handle broke the record for a new track on its first day. When Bay State Raceway opened, it featured many modern amenities, including lights for night racing. However, some of the barns and buildings were still not completed. The remaining structures were finished in time for the 1948 spring racing season.

During the track's heyday, Bay State Raceway drew over 10,000 patrons a night. In 1969, the track had its all-time handle with $737,838. In 1970 the track drew a record crowd of 16,006.

Foxboro Stadium
The AFL–NFL merger in 1970 required that all teams have a stadium with a capacity of 50,000. The only stadium in the Boston area that was large enough was Harvard Stadium, but the university refused to lease it to the Patriots long-term. In anticipation that the Patriots might not be able to secure a stadium, groups from Memphis, Tampa, Seattle, Portland, Birmingham, and Jacksonville made bids for the team. In order to keep the team in New England, Loew offered Patriots owner Billy Sullivan fifteen acres of land adjacent to the track for the construction of a stadium. Sullivan selected Loew's location over sites in Saugus, Sturbridge, Haverhill, and Salem, New Hampshire. Foxboro Stadium (then known as Schaefer Stadium) was completed in time for the 1971 season.

First closure
In 1976, Loew sold the track to Foxboro Associates, led by Eddie Andelman, for $9.6 million. They renamed the track New England Harness Raceway and later Foxboro Raceway. The track closed in December 1989 after Chuck Sullivan (the son of Billy Sullivan), who leased the track from Foxboro Associates, failed to make his payments.

In January 1987, Robert Kraft and Steve Karp purchased an option on the track, which would allow Kraft, who had tried unsuccessfully to purchase the Patriots, to prevent the financially struggling Sullivans from hosting non-Patriot events at the stadium during races. This put Kraft on the inside track to purchase the stadium, which he did in 1988, and eventually the team, which he did in 1994.

Reopening
In 1990, Charles Sarkis, chairman and CEO of the Back Bay Restaurant Group and the owner of Wonderland Greyhound Park, entered an agreement to lease Foxboro Raceway. He hoped to use the track for Thoroughbred racing (which had not been held in Massachusetts since Suffolk Downs closed in 1989) and off-track betting. In November 1991, Foxboro was granted a license to hold Thoroughbred races from May to September and harness races from September to December. The track was upgraded to include a grandstand pub, circle lounge area, new front-stretch chute, two teletheaters, 155 mutuel machines, and 50 Tiny TIM personal betting machines (more than any other U.S. track at that time and the first such machines at any track in New England). The track reopened on May 27, 1992, under the name Foxboro Park. Foxboro Park suffered financially due to an outbreak of an equine virus, a low level of betting, and significant cost overruns during construction. Although the track was granted 72 Thoroughbred racing dates, it was only able to complete 35 due to a lack of horses. The track continued to run harness races.

Second closure and demolition
On May 29, 1996, Patriots owner Robert Kraft purchased Foxboro Park from Andelman's group for $16 million. He planned to use the property as an alternate site for a new football stadium in case plans for the proposed South Boston facility fell through. The purchase also gave Kraft control of access to Foxboro Stadium's parking lots. Kraft bought the property four months after his option on the track expired, which allowed him to buy it without former business partner Steve Karp (who still held the option with Kraft) as well as at a lower price ($16 million instead of $18 million).

Not long after purchasing the Foxboro Park, Kraft moved to evict Sarkis on the grounds that he did not have a valid lease. Although the track was unprofitable, it was potentially worth millions of dollars, as the Massachusetts legislature was considering Governor William Weld's proposal to grant slot licenses to the state's four racetracks. On May 29, 1997, a Norfolk Superior Court judge sided with Kraft. On July 29, Sarkis was ordered to vacate the property by midnight the following day or accept three conditions; create a fund to assist horsemen relocating to other tracks, repay workers who renovated the track, and pay rent, and leave the property on August 25. Sarkis chose to leave immediately.

During his battle with Sarkis, Kraft supported Thomas Aronson, a racing consultant from Virginia, for Foxboro Park's racing license. However, shortly after Sarkis' eviction, Aronson announced that he would not apply for racing dates, citing a "hostile group of regulators" (the Massachusetts Racing Commission) which made it "extremely difficult for [him] to suggest to Foxboro Realty and The Kraft Group that there is good reason to pursue racing at Foxboro". Kraft later backed Foxboro Development Associates Limited Partnership, headed by attorney James Cobery, for the track's license, but the group withdrew its application for racing dates.

After Foxboro Park closed, the track's general manager, Gary Piontkowski, purchased 91 acres in Plainville, Massachusetts for the construction of a harness track. The track opened in 1999 as Plainridge Racecourse.

Foxboro Park remained vacant until 2000, when it was torn down during construction of Gillette Stadium.

The Baltimore Orioles, formerly the St. Louis Browns, are an American professional baseball franchise currently based in Baltimore, Maryland. They were founded in 1894 as the Milwaukee Brewers of the Western League and joined the American League (AL) in 1901, before relocating to St.  Louis the following season –  a move planned by the league several years before its fruition.

The Browns generally struggled in their early years as a Major League team, never finishing higher than fourth before 1921, and in fact having only eight winning seasons before World War II. They lost over 100 games five times, and in 1939 set an unenviable MLB record for the highest earned run average against a team on record at just over 6.00 per nine innings. They did not play in a World Series until 1944 – when most other teams were decimated by the war – and had no winning seasons between 1946 and their sixth season in Baltimore as the "Orioles" in 1959. Starting in 1960, the Orioles became contenders, finishing in second place in 1960 and third place in 1961, 1964 and 1965.

After this, however, the Orioles entered their golden age between 1966 and 1983, when they won three World Series, played in the postseason eight times, and had eighteen consecutive winning seasons between 1968 and 1985. The period from 1986 to 2011, however, was another era of failure apart from a short period in the middle 1990s. The Orioles played in the postseason only twice over twenty-eight seasons and suffered fourteen successive losing seasons between 1998 and 2011, before in 2012 surprisingly winning 93 games and their first playoff series since 1997.

Anna Maria Talbot, Countess of Shrewsbury ( Brudenell; 25 March 1642 - 20 April 1702) was Countess of Shrewsbury from 1659 to 1668, by virtue of her marriage to Francis Talbot, 11th Earl of Shrewsbury.

Biography
Born on 25 March 1642, she was the eldest daughter of Robert Brudenell, who succeeded to the earldom of Cardigan as the second earl in 1663. Her mother was Anne Savage, the earl's second wife. Her brother was Francis Brudenell, Lord Brudenell, whose daughter was Lady Frances Brudenell.

Anna Maria married Francis Talbot, 11th Earl of Shrewsbury, on 10 January 1659, and they had one son, Charles Talbot, 1st Duke of Shrewsbury, born on 15 July 1660.

She was a passionate and unfaithful woman (harsher critics have called her a nymphomaniac). Her numerous lovers included Henry Jermyn, 1st Baron Dover, and Colonel Thomas Howard (younger brother of Charles Howard, 1st Earl of Carlisle). In 1662, they fought a celebrated duel for her favour in which Jermyn was left for dead and his second, Giles Rawlings, was killed.

In 1667, the countess embarked on an affair with George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, and the earl challenged Villiers to a duel.  The countess is said to have been present, disguised as a boy, and to have held the duke's horse. Her husband died of the injuries inflicted on him in the duel which was fought with swords at Barn Elms on 16 January 1668, and was commented upon by Samuel Pepys in his diary the next day. The sovereign, King Charles II,   strongly disapproved of duelling within his realm and the duke temporarily fell out of royal favour as a result. It was said that, at various times, Buckingham fought five different men over Anna.

For a time, the Duke of Buckingham kept Anna Maria as his mistress in his family home, where his wife, Mary, also resided. Anna gave birth to his illegitimate son and created a scandal at court by having the boy baptised in Westminster Abbey. Their affair was finally broken off in 1673. The countess went to France and spent some time in a convent. Her legitimate son had been removed from her care. While both his parents were Roman Catholics, his own upbringing was Protestant and as an adult, he conformed to the Church of England.

Anna Maria, Countess of Shrewsbury later returned to Britain and remarried in 1677 George Rodney Brydges (aft.1649-1714), MP for Haslemere 1690-1698 and Winchester 1700-1714, Her second husband was a younger but 2nd surviving son of Sir Thomas Bridges (d. 1707) of Keynsham, Somerset, by his wife Anne Rodney, daughter and coheiress of Sir Edward Rodney MP of Stoke Rodney, Somerset.  From 1678 to 1685, he served as Groom of the Bedchamber, thanks to his wife buying him a place.  The former Countess and George Rodney Brydges had one son George Brydges (1678-1751) also an MP, who died childless.

Legacy

The former countess continued to be a famous beauty. Her portrait was painted by Sir Peter Lely and is held by the National Portrait Gallery in London. Her statue by Thomas Burman stands in St. John's College, Cambridge.

The folk dance, "Anna Maria", is thought to have been named after her.
