La Flotte (; sometimes locally La Flotte-en-Re), is a commune on the isle of Ré off the western coast of France, administratively part of the department of Charente-Maritime within the larger Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.

It is the largest municipality on the Île de Ré by area, and the second largest by population, second to Sainte-Marie-de-Ré on the southern tip of the island.

La Flotte was declared one of the most beautiful villages in France by the eponymous independent tourism organization Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, and since 2011, the town has been a part of the departmental government's "Stone and Water Villages" tourism initiative to promote notable coastal and waterfront locales (i.e., where the stone (city) meets the water (sea, river etc.).

Geography

Town planning
The commune of La Flotte contains the town proper and a marina. La Flotte is an urban municipality, part of the urban unit of La Flotte, which also contains the commune of Saint-Martin-de-Ré. In addition, the municipality is part of the attraction area of La Flotte, covering 4 communes.

Coastline
The shoreline of La Flotte is bordered by small cliffs, and is home to Arnéult Beach, an artificial beach that has to be re-sanded each year.

As it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, La Flotte is a coastal municipality as defined by the Coastline Act (1986). As a result specific town planning provisions apply in order to preserve the natural spaces, sites, landscapes and the ecological balance of the coast, including a prohibition on construction along the coastline.

Land use
A sizable amount of the land in La Flotte is agricultural, 47% in 2018, down from 55.1% in 1990. The detailed breakdown in 2018 is as follows: forests (34.3%), permanent crops (18.3%), urbanized areas (17.9%), heterogeneous agricultural areas (15.9%), arable land (9.1%), meadows (3.7%), artificial green spaces, non-agricultural (0.5%), coastal wetlands (0.4%).

Economic activity

 Agriculture, asparagus, potatoes, vine.
 Oyster farming, boating, fishing.
 Tourism. Accommodation: six hotels, five campsites, guest houses, seasonal rentals.

History

In 1627, an English invasion force under the command of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, attacked the island in order to relieve the Siege of La Rochelle. After three months of siege, the Marquis de Toiras and a relief force of French ships and troops managed to repel the Duke, who was forced to withdraw in defeat. The English lost more than 4,000 out of 7,000 troops during the campaign. After repelling the English assault, the French Guards retreated through the town of La Flotte, and burned three English vessels there in the port and returned to Fort La Prée.

La Flotte was the home of Gustave Dechézeaux (1760-1794), a member of the National Convention. A victim of the Reign of Terror, he was guillotined at Rochefort on January 17, 1794 for his vote against the execution of Louis XVI. He was later given a posthumous pardon by the Convention on May 3, 1795.

"Crosstown Traffic" is a song written by Jimi Hendrix and recorded by the Jimi Hendrix Experience for their third album, Electric Ladyland (1968). It was released as a single after "All Along the Watchtower", reaching number 52 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 37 on the UK Singles Chart.

Background
Unlike many of the tracks on the album, this recording features the full line-up of the Experience with Hendrix, Noel Redding, and Mitch Mitchell. Hendrix also plays a makeshift kazoo made with a comb and tissue paper in tandem at points with his lead guitar, and backing vocals are performed by Redding along with Dave Mason.  With its hard rock riff, the song mixes elements of blues and acid rock.

Reception
Billboard described the single as a "pulsating swinger" that "will make a powerful chart dent."  Cash Box described it as an "explosive session" with "massive instrumental impact and a heavy vocal." Record World said that "it shakes with excitement."

Agaçaim (pronounced Aagshi) or Agassaim, is a village on the northern banks of the Zuari River in Tiswadi, Goa, surrounded by Panjim to the north, Margão to the south, Vasco da Gama to the west and Ponda to the east, thus making it a main connection between North Goa and South Goa via the Zuari Bridge. Agaçaim is famous for its Goan chouriço.

History
Agaçaim was a bazaar/mercado/market turned migrating Christian community on the fringes of the Indian Ocean and is attested by the discovery of stone crosses with Pahlavi (archaic Persian) inscription in several places along the west coast of India.  The 2001 discovery of a granite stone cross by Father Cosme Costa, sfx, has been dated to the seventh century with a Pahlavi inscription.

Agassaim near Agaçaim has played a significant role in the political scene of Goa, be it the Save Goa Campaign or the Konkani language agitation in 1986. During these events, seven martyrs died for the Konkani language.

Loix () is a commune in the south-west of France, located on the north coast of the Île de Ré, in the department of Charente-Maritime (region Nouvelle-Aquitaine). Its inhabitants are called Loidais and Loidaises .

Geography
 Loix is the smallest village and has the smallest port of the island of Ré, and is located in the middle of the salt marshes. It is a peninsula in the island, bordered by the Pier of Ars to the west and the pit of Loix to the east. Only a road, bordered by marshes (and salt marshes) gained over the sea by containment, connects Loix to the rest of the island.
 Low shore, pebbles, bay and small beach in the shape of cove in the south east (pit of Loix).
 At sea, a lighthouse : the Ilates.

Toponymy
The origin of the name of the commune seems rather vague.

According to the historian Louis-Étienne Arcère, "A decree of Charles V of the year 1372, gives to the Island the name of Loys"

It may be noted, however, that in relation to the ancient island on which the locality is located, it bore the names of Loye (1684 and 1757) and Oye (1675).

History
In 1627, English forces led by the Duke of Buckingham besieged the island. On the 8th of November of that year, at the place called "Feneau", the English were caught in their retreat from the Siege of Saint-Martin-de-Ré. The French and English forces then fought the Battle of the Pont du Feneau, which ended the English invasion. Jean Caylar d'Anduze de Saint-Bonnet, called Toiras, along with the fleet of Louis XIII and Richelieu, repelled the forces of Buckingham, forcing him to abandon the siege and return to England.

Marie Walcamp (July 27, 1894 – November 17, 1936) was an American actress of the silent film era, often specializing in roles as an "action heroine" in serials, including Westerns. She often appeared with actor Eddie Polo.

Biography
Born in Dennison, Ohio, Walcamp was the daughter of Mary (née Mackel) and Arnold Walcamp. She relocated to the East Coast after finishing her formal education, making the move with hopes of finding acting jobs on the stage. After landing various roles in New York, she signed to Universal Studios in 1913 and was cast at the age of 19 in the film The Werewolf.

She appeared in more than 50 motion pictures, mostly shorts, over the next two years, although by 1916 the pace of her work in films began to decrease. That year she still performed in no less than 13 productions, including the leading role in the Western serial Liberty. She was known for doing her own dangerous stunts, which earned her nicknames like "The Daredevil of the Films" and "The Dare-Devil Girl of the Movies".

By the 1920s, however, Walcamp's movie career had effectively ended, as fewer serials were being made. Her final role was in 1927 as Alice Gage in In a Moment of Temptation. On November 17, 1936, Walcamp, suffering from depression, committed suicide by turning on the gas in her Los Angeles apartment while her husband, actor Harland Tucker, was away on business. In her will, she asked that her ashes be scattered over the back lot at Universal Studios, where she had worked for many years.

The Hermann–Grima House is a historic house museum in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States.  The meticulously restored home reflects 19th century New Orleans.  It is a Federal-style mansion with courtyard garden, built in 1831.  It has the only extant horse stable and 1830s open-hearth kitchen in the French Quarter.

The house has been restored to its original splendor through archaeological studies and careful review of the building contract and inventories. The house is recognized as one of the earliest examples of American architecture in the French Quarter.  The restoration accurately depicts the gracious lifestyle of a prosperous Creole family. Approximately one-half of the collection can be sourced to original families.

The Christian Woman's Exchange (now The Woman's Exchange), a local non-profit organization, purchased the property in the 1920s and ran it as a boarding house for single women until 1975.  It was restored and reopened as a museum in 1975, and The Woman's Exchange still owns and operates the building today.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974.

Architecture

William Brand designed and built the house in the Federal or Georgian style.  This was not a commonly-used style in early 19th-century New Orleans.  It features a symmetrical facade, an ornate doorway, and a wide central hall, but it is not purely Federal.

Brand took the basic form of a Federal-style house and added several cabinets, balconies, and galleries. The balconies and galleries are more typical of French Louisiana style architecture and were an adaptation necessary because of the warm climate.  The slave quarters were built in the characteristic New Orleans style.  There are no interior hallways; the balconies connect the rooms.

Furniture styles

There are four major styles of furniture in The Hermann–Grima House. Because the home was a private residence from approximately 1831 to 1924 there are several furniture styles that are appropriate to the museum's interpretation of the history of the house.  The majority of the collection is generally classified as American Empire and early Victorian with many nice examples of more specific styles under both classifications.

American/Late Empire

American Empire style furniture was heavily influenced by the Neo-classical style of French Empire style furniture with comparatively straight lines and motifs evoking Greece and Rome.  The difference in the American Empire Style can be found in the characteristic heavier feel than French Empire.  The style was very fashionable between 1830 and 1850 and was still completely acceptable as solid and conservative well after that time.  The Hermann–Grima House collection houses a substantial amount of furniture classified under this style.

Restoration

Restoration style is a sub-classification of the Empire Style.  The reference is to the restoration of Louis XVIII to the throne of France after the defeat of Napoleon.  It is also influenced by the French Empire style.  It resembles Greek and Roman models, but the lines show more pronounced curve.  This style was interpreted by United States cabinetmakers such as Francois Seignouret.  Example of this style can be seen throughout the Hermann–Grima House, most notably in the dining room.

Interior

Pillar and scroll

This early Victorian style heavily influenced American cabinetmakers such as Joseph Meeks.  Meeks has a furniture outlet in New Orleans on Chartres Street, but his main office was in New York.  The characteristics of this style are also based on Greek and Roman models but reflect simple construction and flat one-dimensional surfaces with pillars and scrolls supporting the pieces.  They are machine-made or partially machine-made.  There are several fine examples of this style of furniture in the Hermann–Grima House collection.

Rococo Revival

The Rococo Revival style became fashionable from roughly 1845 to 1860.  Classicism gave way to Romanticism and a fascination with the past became the basis for an entire range of "Revival Styles".  The most popular was the French Revival Style that recalled the days of Louis XV and Madame de Pompadour - the Rococo Revival style.  The style was popularized in the United States by cabinetmakers such as Henry Belter and Prudent Mallard.  The furniture emphasizes C-scrolls and S-scrolls with a light, feminine feel.  Decorative carvings of fruit, flower and shell motifs were popular.  The Hermann–Grima House has a beautiful Rococo Revival bedroom set and many other fine examples of this style of furniture.

Families

Hermann family

Samuel Hermann was born in 1777 in Rödelheim, Germany.  He immigrated to Louisiana in 1804 and settled on the German Coast about twenty miles up river from New Orleans.  His wife, Marie Emeranthe Becnel, was born in St. John the Baptist Parish in 1776.  Samuel and Emeranthe were married in 1806 in St. John the Baptist Church.  The Hermanns had four children.  They were Samuel, Jr., Louis Florian, Lucien, and Marie Virginie.  Samuel worked as an agent and broker for plantation owners and New Orleans merchants.  They moved to New Orleans in 1813 and lived in various houses in the French Quarter.  Samuel continued to act as a broker and expanded his business into mortgages, stocks and real estate.

The family purchased a lot on St. Louis Street in 1831 and Samuel hired architect, William Brand, to build a new residence.  Mr. Brand built a Federal style house for the family.  The house is now the Hermann–Grima Historic House Museum. In 1837, the English cotton market crashed, instituting a worldwide financial panic.  Mr. Hermann's fortune was eventually lost due to the crash and he sold the home to Felix Grima.

The Hermann family continued to live in the French Quarter with their daughter and her family.  Samuel Hermann died in 1851 and Emeranthe Hermann died in 1853.  They are both buried in St. Louis Cemetery No.2.

Grima family

Felix Grima was the youngest child of Albert Xavier Grima, a native of Malta, and his wife, Marie Anne Filiosa, a native of New Orleans.  Felix was born in New Orleans in 1798.   He graduated from the college d'Orleans, a creole school that emphasized the classics, then studied law with his brother-in-law.  His wife was Marie Sophie Adelaide Montegut who was born in 1811.  He and his wife lived on the corner of Bourbon and Toulouse, the future site of the French Opera House.  Five of their children were born in the house and four more were born after they moved into the house at 820 St. Louis Street.

They moved into the former Hermann home in 1844 with Felix's unmarried sister and widowed mother.  They were a well-read, cultured family.  The museum now owns over two thousand books that belonged to the family.  They were involved in the city's social life as well as the city's religious life.  Mrs. Grima sponsored a St. Louis Cathedral sewing group and their youngest daughter sang in the choirs at St. Louis Cathedral and St. Augustine Church.  The Grima family lived in the house at 820 St. Louis until 1921 when the last Grima living in the house sold it and moved to uptown New Orleans.

The Christian Woman's Exchange

The Christian Woman's Exchange was founded in New Orleans in 1881 by Margaret W. Bartlett. Its original purpose was to provide a place where needy women could sell homemade products or family heirlooms. Throughout its history, the Christian Woman's Exchange has been financially supported by prominent New Orleans women including, Mrs. Ira A. Richardson, Caroline S. Tilton, Mrs. Charles L. Howard, and M.L. Whitney.  It was later renamed the Woman's Exchange, and is part of a larger movement.

In 1887, the Exchange acquired the Edwards House, on the corner of Camp and South Streets, which held a shop, a library, a lunchroom, and a rooming house for women. In 1924, the Exchange purchased the Hermann–Grima House at 820 St. Louis Street. As stated above, the building served as a rooming house for women until 1975, when it was converted to a house museum.  In 1996, the Woman's Exchange became the steward of the Gallier House, a house museum, after acquiring it from Tulane University.

The organization's name change, omitting the word "Christian", was relatively recent–late 20th century or early 21st century.

Colette Caillat (15 January 1921 – 15 January 2007) was a French professor of Sanskrit and comparative grammar. She was also one of the world's leading Jain scholars.

Biography
Caillat was born in Saint-Leu-la-Forêt, Seine-et-Oise. She embarked upon her academic career with the study of Classical Latin and Greek, focusing on their literary and grammatical aspects. This led her to the study of Sanskrit under Louis Renou and Jules Bloch, who replaced Renou who was visiting India. Bloch played a key role in exposing his students to Indian classical languages such as Pali, Prakrit and Apabhramsha as well as modern Indo-Aryan languages. Encouraged by the strong presence of Indian students in his class, Bloch taught his students various details of Indian life.

After clearing the French “Agrégation” civil service examination, Caillat taught at various secondary schools, until she found a post at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique. She was then free to devote all her time to Indian studies, starting with a mémoire on nominal derivation in Middle Indo-Aryan which led her to read Jain texts under the supervision of Walther Schubring in Hamburg. Schubring led Caillat firmly on the path of Jain studies and encouraged her to participate in the Critical Pali Dictionary.

Caillat first visited India in 1963 and remained a regular visitor to India throughout her life. In India, she developed close contact with A.N. Upadhye, Pandit D.D. Malvania, H.C. Bhayani, Pandit Sukhlalji and Muni Punyavijayaji. She stayed and worked several times in Mysore and Ahmedabad.

Caillat first taught Sanskrit and Comparative Grammar at the University of Lyon from 1960 to 1966. She was appointed to the Sorbonne University (then University of Paris-3) in 1967, as the successor of Louis Renou who had died suddenly, where she remained until retirement in 1988. She died on January 15, 2007. Her academic tradition is continued by her students, included among whom is Nalini Balbir.

Awards and honors
Caillat was a commander of the Légion d'honneur, commander of Ordre national du Mérite, and commander of the Ordre des Palmes Académiques. She was elected a member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in 1987, and was a member of several other academies and scholarly associations.

Academic publications
Her contribution to the field of Jain studies and Middle Indo-Aryan linguistics is manifold. Apart from a number of articles, her main books are the following:

 1965 Les expiations dans le rituel ancien des religieux Jaina, Paris, 1965 (D.Litt. thesis), translated into English as Atonements in the Ancient Ritual of the Jaina Monks, Ahmedabad, 1975 (L.D. Series 49).

In 1988, a Felicitation volume was offered in her memory (published as Indologica Taurinensia, Vol 14).
In 2007, 1000 copies of Acarya Joindu's Yogasara were distributed free of cost in her memory (published as Pandit Nathuram Premi Research Series, Vol 10).

History
Dean Henderson was the founder of Townsend School, coming up with the vision in 1930. Originally, he wanted to set up two separate church schools for boys and girls and many churches in the local area got involved. With help from many of the local children, building began in 1932. The school opened in 1933.
The girls' first headteacher was Miss Rollin and she was in charge of 180 girls. The Boys School had 111 pupils with Mr. Watson as the headteacher. Both schools opened with minimum staff. The schools faced difficult times during the Second World War; a teacher had to stay in the school overnight to make sure there was no risk from fire and some lessons had to be taken in the air raid shelter that was built.

In 1965 the girls' school was moved to another site in the High Oaks area of St Albans. In 1963 Tony Flower was headteacher at the boys school until its merger in 1973, the boys took over the rest of the original site. Both schools were merged at the High Oaks site in 1973.

In September 1974, Miss Legerton, who had followed Miss Rowland as Head Teacher of the Girls' School in 1973, became head of the merged school. The official opening of the Townsend Church of England School at the High Oaks site, was performed by the Dowager Duchess of Gloucester in May 1975.

The next step for Townsend was to introduce Heathlands School for deaf children in 1979. Soon after this, Mrs. S Greenfield became headteacher; shortly after starting the school was threatened with closure in 1987. It wasn't until 1991 that the school's future seemed secure. In 2012 the Heathlands school separated from Townsend and moved to another site nearby.

In September 2015 the St Albans Music School moved into the school allowing for greater partnership with the music school and taking over the music department and part of the school previously used by the Heathlands School.

During 2018, the school continues to grow from 4 forms to 5 with the addition of the Norwich form.

Respect for All
Townsend School seeks to provide a Christian education of the highest possible quality.  The Respect For All policy, written by students and staff affirms the commitment to each member of the community as an individual and underpins all aspects of school life.  It expresses Townsend's strong commitment to equal opportunities.  Each child is valued as an individual and encouraged to take an active part in all aspects of school life. The Respect for All policy is as follows:

"At Townsend we believe that every person is equally important and that no-one has a right to harass, insult or cause offence to any other person for any reason.  We particularly reject the way that some people abuse others:
    because they are richer or poorer, older or younger,
    because they are small or tall, thin or fat,
    because of the colour of their skin,
    because they are a teacher or a pupil,
    because of their religion or beliefs,
    because of disability or personal problems,
    because of gender or sexual orientation,
    because of their looks or what they wear,
    because of their likes and dislikes,
    because they are popular or unpopular,
    because  of their ability or lack of ability,
    because of their nationality or accent,
We are all individuals with differences, but we are all members of Townsend and can learn from each other."

Admissions
Townsend Church of England School is a Voluntary Aided School and the school governors decide who will be admitted to the school.
The governors will admit 150 students to Year 7 each September. The school wishes to protect its Christian character and ethos but also warmly welcomes applications from the wider community.
The places decided after those who apply for special needs or siblings places are 60% are Foundation/Faith places and 40% are community places. Distance from the school is not a criterion for admission unless there is over-subscription, when it is used as a tiebreaker.

Location
The school is well-served by buses, and students travel from all parts of St Albans and surrounding towns and villages. In recent years Townsend has regularly recruited students from over 60 different primary schools and children travel to Townsend from a very wide area.

Mortagne-sur-Gironde () is a commune in the Charente-Maritime department in southwestern France. Its inhabitants are called the Mortagnais and Mortagnaises.

Bordering the banks of the Gironde estuary, this small town was for centuries a principality, a title it acquired after the Hundred Years War, but ended up losing by escheat. Being an important military stronghold, it also became a leading port in the 18th century, with the Gironde port bein ranked third (after Bordeaux and Blaye) in the middle of the 20th century, before declining gradually. The town now relies mainly on tourism, and remains a relatively active fishing port.

The city is divided into two distinct entities: the old city, camped on a cliff, is organized around its church and some shopping streets, while the port, below, is lined with old mills. Part of the houses have been converted into bars, restaurants and shops, making this part of the city an active economic center in the summer. Not far away stands a monolith hermitage dating back to the early centuries of the Christian era.

Mortagne-sur-Gironde belongs to the urban community Royan Atlantique, an intercommunal structure involving 72136 inhabitants (2006).

Churches of Mortagne-sur-Gironde

Church of St. Stephen
The origins of St. Stephen's church date back to at least the 12th century, although it hardly remains of elements from that period, except a few walls (parts of the apse and transept) and a series of capitals at the braces (listed historical monument).

In the Middle Ages it was one of two parish churches of the city, with the Church of Our Lady, disappeared. Seat of a convent Augustinian priory, it has authority over several neighboring parishes, including Cozes, Saint-Seurin-d'Uzet, or Champagnolles Gémozac. Burned and looted during the Wars of Religion by the troops of Agrippa Aubigné, it was rebuilt once peace returned, but again in very bad condition in the early 18th century.

A great work campaign is conducted from 1769 under the direction of stonemason Martin and Daniel Maurice Blondeau carpenter. In the following century, the bell tower, cracked, requires constant monitoring. After deliberations, it was finally decided to build a new one. Two architects differ as to the party to implement Gustave Alaux, follower of neo-Gothic style, and Antoine Brossard, holding of neoclassicism. The proposed Alaux finally won, and in 1859 the bell tower Bourg stone, crowned with an arrow used to Mariners bitter, was built. It was taken in 1870 by architect Aimé Bonnet.

Church of Saint-Etienne
The church of Saint-Etienne, a very sober, is shaped like a Latin cross. It comprises a nave of four bays, lit by a series of arched windows which were placed colorful stained glass from the workshops and DAGRANT dating from 1889. The transept retains a number of medieval capitals, only remnants of the former church. Pilasters serve to support a vault basket handle, which covers almost all of the building. Reinforced concrete, it dates from the late nineteenth century and replaces an old lambris. Numerous indications seem to indicate the presence of a crypt under the north transept; the tradition is that of Charlemagne's companions there were inhumés. Several religious and Mortagnaises different personalities are buried in the church slabs, following an ancient custom.

The church furniture includes an antique altar Louis XVIII, in a taste similar to that of Saujon, a chair Louis XIII, an 18th century the Cross and statues dating mainly from the 19th century.

Museum

Since summer 2003, Mortagne-sur-Gironde has set up a small local museum located in the old pier of the current marina, which traces the history of the village through an original background 300 reproductions old postcards . Driven by a communal association, The Pier, it aims to introduce visitors to the history and heritage of this small town on the banks of the Gironde. The entrance to the museum is free .

The presence of the permanent museum actively contributes to the tourist and cultural promotion of the right bank of the Gironde.

Friedrich Eduard König (November 15, 1846 – February 10, 1936, Bonn) was a German Lutheran divine and  Semitic scholar.

Biography
He was born at Reichenbach im Vogtland and was educated at the University of Leipzig (1867–71). Afterwards, he worked as a religious instructor at the Royal Realgymnasium in Döbeln (1871–76) and at the Thomasschule zu Leipzig (1876–79). He then became a lecturer (1879) and an associate professor of theology (1885) at the University of Leipzig. In 1888 he became a full professor at Rostock and in 1900 at the University of Bonn, where, as a theologian attacking  Panbabylonism,  he became involved in the so-called "Babel-Bible Dispute".

Published works
As a linguist  he attempted to apply the phonetic and physiological methods of modern philology to Hebrew and Ethiopic in such works as
 Gedanke, Laut und Accent als die drei Factoren der Sprachbildung (1874) – Thought, sound, and accent: as the three factors of language formation comparatively and physiologically represented in Hebrew.
 Neue Studien über Schrift: Aussprache und allgemeine Formenlehre des Aethiopischen (1877) – New studies on Scripture: pronunciation and general morphology of Ethiopian.
 Historisch-kritisches Lehrgebäude der Hebräischen Sprache, 3 books, (1881–97) – Historical-critical teaching of the Hebrew language.

Among his innumerable publications are also:
 Religious History of Israel (1885); translation of Die Hauptprobleme der Altisraelitischen Religionsgeschichte (1884).
 Einleitung in das Alte Testament (1893).
 The exiles' book of consolation contained in Isaiah XL-LXVI : a critical and exegetical study; translated from the German by J.A. Selbie (1899).
 The Emphatic State in Aramaic (1901)  In: The American Journal of Semitic Language  Vol. 17, No. 4, Jul., 1901.

Oculina varicosa, or the ivory bush coral, is a scleractinian deep-water coral primarily found at depths of 70-100m, and ranges from Bermuda and Cape Hatteras to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. Oculina varicosa flourishes at the Oculina Bank off the east coast of Florida, where coral thickets house a variety of marine organisms. The U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service considers Oculina a genus of concern, due to the threat of rapid ocean warming. Species of concern are those species about which the U.S. Government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service, has some concerns regarding status and threats, but for which insufficient information is available to indicate a need to list the species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA). While Oculina is considered a more robust genus in comparison to tropical corals, rising ocean temperatures continue to threaten coral health across the planet.

Species description
Oculina varicosa grows in arborescent branches, typically about 1 to 2 meters tall. polyps wrap around the coral branches and extend when feeding to provide Oculina with essential nutrients from various forms of plankton and algae. O. varicosa has widely spaced, distinct corallites, approximately 3 millimeters in diameter. While O. varicosa most often exists as an aposymbiotic coral (without symbionts), it can also exist with symbiotic algae which helps provide another food source. Symbiotic Oculina         colonies with zooxanthellae generally come in various shades of brown, while azooxanthellate corals tend to have a lighter, whiter appearance. Corals usually receive their brilliant color from their symbionts, so aposymbiotic colonies tend to lack bright colors.

Ecology
Coral growth usually relies on both food and sunlight, but because O. varicosa exists primarily as a deep-water coral, it typically lacks zooxanthellae. Only shallow water forms of O. varicosa contain zooxanthellae because they have more access to sunlight. Zooxanthellae, or coral symbionts, serve in a mutualistic relationship as a source of energy for coral colonies, while also receiving shelter between coral polyps. Zooxanthellae photosynthesize and transfer sugars to the coral polyp, but azooxanthellate, or aposymbiotic, coral colonies rely on obtaining energy through heterotrophy. Coral polyps snatch planktonic matter out of the water column in order to produce energy for growth. Surprisingly, corals have mouths and stomachs to digest the food they catch with their tentacles. Coral heterotrophy is more nutrient dependent, while photosynthesizing symbiotic corals are more dependent on sunlight.

Although O. varicosa is not considered a reef-building coral, it still serves an important role in creating larval habitat for native fish and invertebrates. Oculina provides a base for hard-bottom communities in supporting valuable fisheries species and a variety of other economically important organisms.

Habitat
While O. varicosa does exist in both shallow waters (6 meters) and deep water, at depths of greater than 100 meters, it almost exclusively thrives on the Oculina Bank off the coast of Florida. Oculina coral reefs off Florida have been identified as essential fish habitat for federally managed species. The Experimental Oculina Research Reserve preserves the Oculina Banks, a reef of Oculina varicosa existing between 70 and 100 meters depth, and spanning 130 nautical miles, approximately 15 miles off the coast of Daytona Beach. Because symbionts only coexist with Oculina in shallow water conditions, this excludes aposymbiotic colonies on the Oculina Bank. At this location, O. varicosa branches grow into massive thickets and can reach up to 2 meters in height. Tree-like colonies on the Oculina Bank create an ideal place for a diverse population of fish and invertebrates to thrive. More than 70 species of fish and over 380 invertebrates call the Oculina Bank their home. A variety of Grouper species are known to spend much of their juvenile stages hiding in the branches of Oculina; namely, Gag, Scamp, Speckled Hind, Yellowedge and snowy grouper. Discovered in 1975, the Bank became a protected area by 1984 as the Oculina Bank Habitat Area of Particular Concern. The known and documented threat in the Oculina Banks area is damage from mechanical fishing gear, including dredges, bottom long lines, trawl nets and anchors despite supposed habitat-based protections. Anchoring vessels and bottom-trending fishing gear became prohibited within the protected area, in an effort to maintain the Oculina thickets and the habitat as a whole.

Temperature ranges from 7 to 27 degrees Celsius on the Oculina Bank. Such seasonal extremes effectively accustom Oculina varicosa to wide temperature shifts. This temperature resilience indicates that O. varicosa may be more apt to survive despite rising global ocean temperatures. Temperate corals, such as Oculina arbuscula and Astrangia poculata, show relatively high tolerance to ocean warming because of these large seasonal shifts. During upwelling events at the Oculina Bank, temperatures can settle around 7 degrees Celsius for days at a time.

Research
Because the genus Oculina is considered one of the more resilient corals on the spectrum, it functions as a useful experimental subject, especially in the context of global climate change. Both cold and heat stress treatments on temperate corals serve as an important stepping stone in effectively dissecting coral health in response to rising ocean temperatures. Researching the effects of temperature stress on O. varicosa furthers understanding of how both this species and the hard bottom communities it helps form, will change under warmer oceans.

HMS Exeter was a 60-gun fourth-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched at Portsmouth Dockyard on 26 May 1697.

She was involved in repeated actions against the French, in 1702 off Newfoundland, and in 1705 when she captured the frigate Thétis. She was in the Mediterranean in 1711, and at the Battle of Quiberon Bay.  She was rebuilt according to the 1733 proposals of the 1719 Establishment at Plymouth, and relaunched on 19 March 1744.  She was at the siege of Pondicherry in 1748.  Samuel Hood, 1st Viscount Hood briefly served aboard her.

Exeter continued to serve until 1763, when she was broken up.

Charles William Aldrich (June 3, 1921 – January 25, 2015), better known by his stage name of Walkin' Charlie Aldrich, was an American country musician.

Biography

Aldrich was born in Agawam, near Bradley, Grady, Oklahoma in June 1921. He bought his first guitar during the Great Depression and worked in cotton fields. During World War II, he served in the Navy and was discharged in 1946; following this, he worked in a grocery store.

Aldrich started a band in Oklahoma and got a spot on CBS radio performing on a show called Oklahoma Roundup. After moving to California, he started playing with Spade Cooley, T. Texas Tyler, and Tony Martin, and eventually signed on to Cliffie Stone's Hometown Jamboree.

In 1951, he released his best-known song, "Walkin' the Guitar Strings". In the wake of its popularity, he was offered his own show on television station KTTV. He also wrote songs which were published by Acuff-Rose and the Tannen Music Company, and ran a recording studio in Burbank, California. Alongside this, he graduated from the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music with a degree in classical guitar.

He died in Las Vegas, Nevada in January 2015 at the age of 93.

Cley Windmill is a Grade II* listed tower mill at Cley next the Sea, Norfolk, England which has been converted to residential accommodation.

History

Cley Windmill was built in the early 19th century. It was not marked on William Faden's map of Norfolk published in 1797. The first mention was an advert in the Norfolk Chronicle of 26 June 1819, where the mill was for sale, described as "newly erected" and in the ownership of the Farthing family. The mill was not sold and remained the property of the Farthing family, until 1875, when Dorothy Farthing, the then owner, died. The mill was bought by the miller, Stephen Barnabas Burroughes. It was worked by the Burroughes family until c. 1912, when the business was transferred to their windmill at Holt.

In 1921, the windmill was sold by the Burroughes brothers to Mrs Sarah Maria Wilson for the sum of £350 and she had the mill converted to a holiday home. The architect responsible for the conversion was Cecil Upcher. The machinery was removed, with the gear wheels being cut in half and used as decoration within the mill.

The mill was inherited by Lieutenant Colonel Hubert Blount, in 1934. On 31 January 1953, the mill was flooded to a depth of at least . In 1960, Norfolk County Council and the Pilgrim Trust both made grants to enable the sails to be replaced, the council granting £500 and the trust granting £300 towards a total cost of £1,500. The work was done by R Thompson & Son, the Alford, Lincolnshire millwrights. Further grants were received by Lt Col Blount from Norfolk County Council in 1963 and 1971.

Lt Col Blount died on 1 February 1979 and the mill was inherited by his youngest son, Colonel Charles Blount, father of the singer James Blunt, who spent much time there as a child. The mill was offered for sale in May 1982, but did not sell. In 1983, planning permission and listed building consent was sought from North Norfolk District Council to turn the mill and complex into a guesthouse and self-catering units. This was granted, with the mill opening as a guesthouse on 27 April 1983.

In 1986-87, the cap gallery, sails and fantail were renewed. Grants totalling £19,000 were given by English Heritage and Norfolk County Council towards an estimated cost of £45,000. The work was done by millwrights John Lawn and John Bond.

In December 2006 the windmill was put up for sale for the sum of £1,500,000, and was bought by Julian and Carolyn Godlee. The Godlees embarked on widescale restoration works to the mill and outbuildings. Works included replacing the balcony in hardwood and converting the old cart shed to an office with accommodation. In 2014 the sails, fan-tail and oak fan-stage were replaced using the firm Bunting and Son.

The landmark was again for sale in 2019, believed to be in the region of £3m. It was bought in 2021 by Natalie and Varian Bush.

Description

Cley Windmill is a five storey tower mill with a stage at second floor level, twenty feet above ground. It has a dome shaped cap with a gallery which was winded by an eight-bladed fantail, ten feet six inches in diameter. The cap is now fixed and unable to turn to wind. There are four double Patent sails with a span of 70 ft, carried on stocks  long. The inner pair have eight bays of three shutters and the outer pair have nine bays of two shutters and one of three shutters.  In 1819 the sails powered two pairs of French burr millstones, a flour mill and jumper but by 1876 this had been increased to three pairs of stones and a smut machine had been added.

Culture and media

Cley Windmill has become one of the enduring icons of North Norfolk. Its image has been used on everything from tea towels through to greetings cards, tins of biscuits and fudge to a station identification (ident) between programmes for the BBC. One of the BBC One 'Balloon' idents, used after October 1998, showed the BBC hot air balloon floating past various locations in the UK, including Cley Windmill.

Cley Windmill is licensed to hold wedding ceremonies.
