The Raid on Limbang () was a military engagement between British Royal Marine commandos and insurgents of the North Kalimantan National Army (Tentara Nasional Kalimantan Utara: TNKU), on 12 December 1962. After an amphibious assault on the town of Limbang in Sarawak, Borneo, the commandos managed to rescue the hostages being held there by the TNKU.

Prelude
On 9 December 1962, as the Brunei revolt broke out, TNKU militants led by Salleh bin Sambas seized the small town of Limbang. From the police station, they captured several rifles, Sterling submachine guns and one Bren light machine gun. This greatly enhanced their weaponry, as they had only been armed with shotguns. They imprisoned the British resident and his wife, along with 12 others, and announced their intention of hanging them on 12 December.

Raid
The task of freeing the hostages was given to L Company, 42 Commando, commanded by Captain Jeremy Moore, who were deployed from the commando carrier . To bring the commandos to their target, two cargo lighters were commandeered and crewed by Royal Navy personnel. One of them carried a Vickers machine gun. Moore planned to sail his force up the Limbang river, and then to assault the town directly, so as to avoid giving the rebels time to execute the hostages.

The lighters approached Limbang at dawn on the morning of 12 December. The sound of their engines warned the rebels, and the commandos lost the element of surprise. As they moved into their landing area, they were met by heavy fire from the police station, where Salleh himself was manning the Bren gun. The deck of the lighters offered little protection, and two marines were killed before landing. One craft provided covering fire with the Vickers gun, while the first disembarked its men.

The commandos charged the police station, where they killed ten rebels and captured the Bren gun. Salleh bin Sambas was injured, but made good his escape. The hostages were discovered in the hospital, where the resident was singing loudly, to avoid being mistaken for a rebel. After all the commandos had landed, they spent the rest of the day clearing Limbang house by house, during which three more marines and two more rebels were killed.

Aftermath
British forces operations continued in the area in the following days, and captured 11 more prisoners. The intelligence they gathered suggested that the TNKU force had been undone by the Limbang battle: the more committed fighters had escaped into the surrounding jungle, while the local conscripts had thrown away their weapons and uniforms. Their leader, Salleh was subsequently captured by the British Forces six months after the raid. He was found guilty for bearing the arms against the Crown, and was sentenced to 15 years of imprisonment at Kuching Central Prison. During the trial, he pleaded guilty on all charges, and requested the judges to release the other prisoner, citing that he was willing to take the fall himself and would head to the gallows. However, none of his requests were granted and his sentence proceeded as planned. He was later released in the 1970s, and now resides in Limbang as a Penghulu (village headman) at Kampung Pahlawan.

For their role in the battle, Corporals Lester and Rawlinson were awarded Military Medals, while Captain Moore was awarded a bar for his Military Cross. He later went on to command the British forces during the Falklands War. Jeremy Black, the RN officer who commanded one of the lighters, later became Captain of , during the same conflict. After this action L Company became known as "Limbang Company".

The lighters were piloted in by Erskine Muton of the Brunei State Marine who was awarded the MBE for his civilian gallantry. Citation in The London Gazette.

Crazies Hill is a hamlet in the English county of Berkshire. It adjoins the hamlet of Cockpole Green. For local government purposes, the village is within the civil parish of Wargrave, which in turn is within the unitary authority of Wokingham.  Crazies Hill Church of England Primary School is located in the village. About  on the road to Wargrave is Hennerton Golf Club. The Village Hall was originally built to serve also as a Mission church and still contains the paraphernalia of an altar etc. behind folding doors.

Summerfield House, which is set in  of beautiful grounds and landscaped gardens, was originally built in 1790 as the Town Hall at nearby Henley-on-Thames. It was moved to Crazies Hill by Major WHM Willis during 1898 when the new Town Hall was built. He had the facade including the cupola and entrance hall re-erected here as the basis for his new country house originally called Crazies. By the side of a woodland track to the south of the hamlet is Rebecca's Well. This is the site of the spring which used to be the hamlet's water supply. In 1870, the curate of Wargrave, the Rev Grenville Phillimore, invited subscriptions to fund a proper basin for the spring to keep the water clean. Later further money was raised to build a brick structure around the spring to keep out fallen leaves and other debris.

Eastry railway station was a railway station on the East Kent Light Railway. It opened on 16 October 1916 and closed to passenger traffic after the last train on 30 October 1948. It was the station before the Richborough Branch diverged from the main line to Wingham. The station served the village of Eastry, it had a passing loop, but this had been converted to a siding in 1948. The track was removed in May 1954. There is no trace of the station today as the area has been landscaped into fields.

A software effect processor is a computer program which is able to modify the signal coming from a digital audio source in real time.

Principle of operation
The digital audio signal, whose origin may be analog (by conversion to digital) or be in an already digital source (such as an audio file, or a software synthesizer), is stored in temporary allotments of computer memory called buffers. Once there, the software effect processor modifies the signal according to a specific algorithm, which creates the desired effect. After this operation, the signal may be transformed from digital to analog and sent to an audible output, stored in digital form for later reproduction or editing, or sent to other software effect processors for additional processing.

Latency
The larger the buffer is, the more time it takes to play the audio data sent for playback. Large buffers increase the time required before the next buffer can be played, this delay is usually called latency. Every system has certain limitations - too small buffers involving negligible latencies cannot be smoothly processed by computer, so the reasonable size starts at about 32 samples. The processor load does not affect latency (it means, once you set certain buffer size, the latency is constant). But with very high processor loads, the buffer isn't filled with new sound in time for playback, and the sound drops out. Increasing buffer size or quitting other applications helps to keep playback smooth.

Drivers

Microsoft Windows
The default Windows drivers are not optimized for low latency effect processing. As a solution, Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) was created. ASIO is supported by most professional music applications. Most sound cards directed at this market support ASIO. If the hardware manufacturer doesn't provide ASIO drivers, there are other ASIO free alternatives, which can be used for any audio interface. ASIO drivers can be emulated, in this case the driver name is ASIO Multimedia. However, the latency when using these drivers is very high.

Apple Mac OS X
All the Mac compatible hardware uses CoreAudio drivers, so the software effects processors can work with small latency and good performance.

The 1995 San Diego Chargers season was the team's 36th, its 26th in the National Football League (NFL), and its 35th in San Diego.

The season began with the team as reigning AFC champions and trying to improve on their 11–5 record in 1994. After starting 4–7, the Chargers won their final five games to get into the playoffs. It ended in the first round with a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. That game would mark the last time the Chargers would make the playoffs until the 2004 season - by then, only long snapper David Binn remained from the 1995 roster.

While most of the offensive starters returned from the Super Bowl run were back, the Chargers slipped down the rankings for both passing and rushing. They were hampered by an injury to Natrone Means, who finished with 730 yards despite only having 5 carries in the 2nd half of the season. Tony Martin established himself as the club's leading receiver, with 1,224 yards from 90 catches - this broke Kellen Winslow's club record for receptions in a season. The defense continued to be solid. Safeties Darren Carrington and Stanley Richard were both released after disappointing performances in the Super Bowl; Rodney Harrison began to see more action as a strong safety, and led the team with five interceptions. Leslie O'Neal, in his final year with the club, was once again the sack leader with 12.5; Junior Seau's 130 tackles were 45 more than the next best of his teammates. Andre Coleman continued to be dangerous, running one punt and two kickoffs back for touchdowns, though he also fumbled ten times. Former Aussie Rules pro Darren Bennett was voted to the Pro Bowl in his first season as a starting punter.

The Chargers suffered a tragedy during the offseason, when linebacker David Griggs was killed in a road accident.

Game summaries

Week 1: at Oakland Raiders

The defending AFC Champions lost their opener to a Raiders team celebrating their return to Oakland. All 17 of the Raiders' points came following turnovers, though they had to go the length of the field for the first of these, following an Eddie Anderson interception of a Stan Humphries pass at the Oakland 1. A 14 play, 99-yard drive made it 7–0, but the Chargers were level at the break after a 39-yard strike from Humphries to Jefferson.

In the 3rd quarter, fumbles by Natrone Means and Andre Coleman set the Raiders up in good field position; they scored 10 points from the opportunities. The Chargers drove into Raider territory three times the rest of the way, but turned the ball over on downs each time.

Week 2: vs. Seattle Seahawks

San Diego laboured to a win in their home opener. They enjoyed a considerable advantage in yards gained (397 to 209), but twice turned the ball over in Seattle territory. The Chargers did manage to put together two complete drives: 75 yards on 12 plays on the game's opening possession, 80 yards in 11 plays for the winner with 13:41 to play. These drives were capped by touchdown passes from Humphries to Tony Martin and Ronnie Harmon.

Natrone Means rushed for 115 yards on 26 carries. On defense, Rodney Harrison had the first two interceptions of his career.

Week 3: at Philadelphia Eagles

A trio of big plays helped the Chargers recover from a 14–0 deficit. Randall Cunningham threw for two TDs in the early stages, the second of these set up by a Means fumble. A 38-yard touchdown pass from Humphries to Jefferson began the comeback; shortly before halftime, Humphries fumbled when sacked in the Eagles red zone, but center Courtney Hall recovered and John Carney kicked a field goal to further narrow the gap. On the first play of the following drive, Calvin Williams fumbled, and Junior Seau returned the loose ball 29 yards up the sideline, before diving over a tackle for the only touchdown of his Hall of Fame career. Early in the 3rd quarter, Andre Coleman returned a punt 88 yards down the right sideline for another score; a 2nd Carney field goal then made it 27 points in a row.

Cunningham responded with his 3rd TD pass of the game, but the Chargers' defense stiffened thereafter, and didn't let the Eagles cross midfield on their final four possessions. Another pick by Rodney Harrison clinched the win. Means rushed for 122 yards on 23 carries.

Week 4: vs. Denver Broncos

A third consecutive 100-yard rushing performance by Natrone Means saw the Chargers win their third straight game. With San Diego trailing 3–0 in the second quarter, Means carried 6 times for 30 yards on a drive he capped with a 3-yard touchdown run; in the second half, he rushed 7 times for 38 yards on a drive which finished with his 2-yard TD run, and a 14–6 lead. After John Carney added a 45-yard field goal, John Elway led the Broncos to the San Diego 31, but threw four consecutive incompletions to end the final Denver threat. Means finished with 115 yards on 27 carries, with two touchdowns.

Week 5: at Pittsburgh Steelers

A big 1st quarter helped the Steelers avenge their AFC Championship Game defeat. After Pittsburgh scored 7 on their opening drive, Stan Humphries threw pick-sixes on two of the first three Charger possessions. Both of these passes were topped in the air by the intended receivers; Willie Williams and Alvoid Mays returned them for touchdowns. Matrone Means and Tony Martin scored for the Chargers as they attempted a comeback, but a dropped touchdown by Martin and further interceptions by Williams and Mays kept them at arm's length.

Week 6: at Kansas City Chiefs

The Chargers lost a Monday Night Football epic in overtime. The first quarter saw only one possession each; San Diego opened with a 19-play drive before the Chiefs' response took 14 plays; both drives ended with short field goals. A 54-yard kickoff return by Coleman then set up the Chargers for a short touchdown drive capped by Means' 2-yard run.

After a Chiefs field goal, Coleman fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and Kansas City recovered to set up a short touchdown drive and a 13–10 lead. The Chiefs were in position to add to that advantage shortly before halftime, but on 1st and 10 from the Chargers' 18, Steve Bono was sacked by Raylee Johnson and fumbled. Shawn Lee recovered the loose ball with 43 seconds remaining in the half, and Humphries managed to drive the Chargers into range for Carney to tie the scores.

Tony Martin fumbled away the best scoring chance of the 3rd quarter at the Chiefs' 11; the next score was a Lin Elliott field goal 13 minutes from time. On the next drive, Humphries ran for two first downs, hit Shawn Jefferson for 45 yards down to the Chiefs' 4, then threw the go-ahead touchdown on the next play. After Junior Seau and Dennis Gibson stopped Marcus Allen in mid-flight for no gain on 3rd and 1, Kansas City punted. A 44-yard connection from Humphries to Ronnie Harmon took San Diego into Chiefs' territory, but Humphries fell awkwardly on his throwing arm while completing another pass, and had to leave the game.

The Chargers ran the clock down to 1:12 before extending their lead with a field goal. However, Bono led a whirlwind 8 play, 79-yard drive and found former Charger Derrick Walker to tie the game with 15 seconds remaining. The game went to overtime, where San Diego won the toss. Gale Gilbert led the team to the edge of field goal range, but was then sacked by Neil Smith, forcing a punt. The Chiefs also had to kick the ball away, but not until after Lewis Bush had dropped a potential interception at the 22-yard line. Another Smith sack forced the Chargers to go three-and-out; Tamarick Vanover fielded the ensuing punt at his own 14, cut back to the left sideline, broke Darren Bennett's tackle and completed the first overtime punt return touchdown in NFL history.

Stan Humphries went 24 of 34, for 315 yards and a touchdown, but would miss the next game with a bruised shoulder. This was the lone overtime game the Chargers played between the 1991 and 1999 seasons.

Week 7: vs. Dallas Cowboys

Gale Gilbert had a difficult game in relief for Stan Humphries, getting sacked six times and turning the ball over on each of the Chargers' first four possessions. The first of these was a misplaced deep ball which Larry Brown picked off near the Dallas goal line; the defense salvaged something when Reuben Davis sacked Troy Aikman for a safety. However, a fumble on the next possession led to a Dallas touchdown. Gilbert then converted a 3rd and 26 with a 41-yard completion to Andre Coleman, and led his team down to a 2nd and goal at the Dallas 5. However, he then threw another pick to end the threat. After a third interception, Dallas drove 85 yards to Emmitt Smith's second TD of the game. A career-long 48-yard rushing touchdown by Ronnie Harmon cut the deficit to 14–9 in the 3rd quarter, but the Cowboys rebuilt their lead, while San Diego didn't get closer than the Dallas 35 the rest of the way.

Week 8: at Seattle Seahawks

The Chargers snapped a three-game losing streak as Stan Humphries overcame a rocky start. Humphries, back from injury, threw an early interception that Seattle converted into a touchdown 6 plays later. On the next series, rookie Terrell Fletcher sparked San Diego by taking a direct snap on a fake punt for 46 yards. Humphries found Harmon for a TD shortly afterwards; on the next possession, he converted a 4th and 1 with a QB sneak, and hit Mark Seay for another score. Shortly afterwards, Darren Bennett pinned the Seahawks at their own 1 yard line, and Shaun Gayle recovered a fumbled snap in the end zone two plays later. After a Seahawks field goal, Means broke off a 36-yard run, then went the final 7 yards to the end zone on the next play - it was 25–10 at the break. Another Humphries to Harmon connection helped keep Seattle at bay in the 2nd half.

Leslie O'Neal led the defense with four sacks. San Diego had lost the turnover battle by a cumulative 11–3 over the past three games, but won it 4–1 in this game.

Week 10: vs. Miami Dolphins

Miami avenged their recent postseason defeat in a hard-fought encounter. San Diego suffered an early blow when Means was forced out of the game with a groin strain - he had only a handful of carries throughout the remainder of the season. In his absence, the Chargers could muster only 3 points in the first half; Dan Marino found Irving Fryar to put Miami ahead, and was threatening to extend the lead in the 2nd quarter when Seau came up with a goal line interception. The scoring accelerated in the 3rd quarter - after a Charger field goal, Marino threw his second touchdown, then Humphries found Martin behind the defense for a 50-yard score. A Humphries-to-Seay two-point conversion levelled the scores.

Miami restored their lead with a field goal, and then the turnover issues which had plagued San Diego's season thus far returned. A Humphries pass was thrown behind Martin, tipped and intercepted, setting up a Dolphins touchdown. Attempting a quick response, the Chargers drove inside the Miami 10, where Alfred Pupunu lost a fumble, and the Dolphins ran out the clock.

Tony Martin caught 7 passes for 121 yards. With Means out of the game, Ronnie Harmon rushed for 52 yards while catching passes for a further 54.

Week 11: vs. Kansas City Chiefs

While they were only outgained by three yards, the Chargers generated few threats against the division-leading Chiefs. Down 7-0 early, the Chargers put together an 80-yard touchdown drive in response. They had a stroke of luck when officials missed Duane Young fumbling two plays before Rodney Culver's game-tying score. Thereafter, Charger drive repeatedly broke down around midfield, while the Chiefs steadily built a game-winning lead.

Week 12: at Denver Broncos

A spirited fightback couldn't prevent the Chargers from slipping to their sixth defeat in seven games. John Elway and rookie running back Terrell Davis were dominant as Denver scored touchdowns on their first three possessions, leading 21–0 in the 1st quarter. A 91-yard kickoff return touchdown got San Diego on the board, before the scoring calmed down in the middle quarters. Denver led 27-13 when Jason Elam missed a 46-yard field goal. That sparked a Charger recovery, as they drove 64 and 72 yards on their next two possessions, tying the game with touchdowns by Harmon and Culver. However, following an exchange of punts, Davis ran on six consecutive plays for 53 yards, and Elam kicked a game-winning field goal with two seconds left.

Davis, a native of San Diego, rushed 30 times for 176 yards, the highest totals of his young career. Denver rolled up 463 yards, the most the Charger defense gave up all year. At 4–7, San Diego were now dead last in their division, and two games back in the wildcard race.

Week 13: vs. Oakland Raiders

San Diego upset the 8-3 Raiders on Monday Night Football, aided by three Dwayne Harper interceptions. Harper, who only had one other pick all season, also made the most crucial tackle of the game. The Chargers led 9-3 early in the 4th quarter, when Harvey Williams broke through the middle for a 60-yard run. Harper chased him down at the San Diego 33-yard line, and Oakland ultimately settled for a field goal. On the next Raider possession, Chris Mims sacked Vince Evans, forcing a fumble he recovered himself; John Carney's fourth field goal from five attempts restored the six-point margin for San Diego. Harper's third interception came in the final minute, and clinched the win.

Week 14: vs. Cleveland Browns

Rookie running back Aaron Hayden rushed 32 times for 127 yards with two touchdowns, guiding the Chargers to another much-needed win. Hayden's TDs had the Chargers up 17–3 at the half, before a Vinny Testaverde touchdown pass pulled Cleveland within seven. San Diego broke the game back open in the 4th quarter, going 96 yards on 10 plays and scoring with a Humphries to Martin connection. A Terrell Fletcher touchdown run extended the lead. In total, the Chargers rushed for a season-high 186 yards, having failed to gain as many as 80 in the four games since Means was injured.

Week 15: vs. Arizona Cardinals

The Chargers overcame six turnovers thanks to a purple patch around halftime. After Mark Seay had opened the scoring, Tony Martin fumbled, setting up a short Arizona touchdown drive. Two possessions later, a Humphries pass was tipped, intercepted and returned for a touchdown by defensive end Clyde Simmons. The Chargers responded quickly, Humphries passing on 12 consecutive plays and converting a 4th and 10 en route to a TD pass to Harmon. Andre Coleman put San Diego ahead to stay when he returned the opening kickoff of the second half 92 yards for another score, then Seay scored again for a 28–14 lead. The Cardinals attempted a comeback, but an onside kick recovery by Seau ensured San Diego could run out the clock.

Humphries had a busy day, going 26 of 41 for 288 yards, 3 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Mark Seay finished with 7 catches for 114 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Week 16: at Indianapolis Colts

Two John Carney field goals in the final two minutes gave San Diego a thrilling win in a battle of playoff hopefuls. In the first half, Tony Martin got behind the coverage for a 51-yard touchdown on 3rd and 20, but Carney missed two kicks and the Colts led 10–7 at the break. San Diego took a 21–13 lead early in the 4th quarter, with two touchdowns either side of a Colts field goal: Humphries scored the first on a QB sneak, before finding Martin on another long pass, this time of 38 yards. The Colts responded immediately, tying the game with a touchdown and two point conversion, and setting up a wild final seven minutes.

Humphries was intercepted by Quentin Coryatt on the next play, but Willie Clark picked off Jim Harbaugh just three plays later, and San Diego put together a 47-yard drive capped by Carney first field goal with 1:59 left. Back came the Colts, reaching the San Diego 33 before Harbaugh threw three incompletions and they had to settle for a game-tying field goal with 48 seconds left. A 26-yard Humphries-to-Pupunu completion then moved the ball to the Colts' 49, before a tipped ball flew straight to Coryatt, who dropped the easy interception. Humphries found Harmon for 17 yards on the next play; after a Hayden run netted 7 yards, Carney's winning kick came from 43 yards out with three seconds remaining.

Martin caught 10 passes for 168 yards and the two scores. Carney's two field goals took his tally with the Chargers to 148, breaking a tie with Rolf Benirschke for the club record. The win left San Diego needing only to beat the Giants a week later to clinch a playoff berth.

Week 17: at New York Giants

The Chargers clinched a playoff spot by overcoming both a 14-point deficit and a barrage of snowballs in New York. Following recent snowfall the aisles at Giants Stadium had been cleared, but there was a substantial amount of snow and ice in the seating area. Fans began throwing snowballs at each other and, increasingly as the game wore on, onto the pitch.

Humphries was knocked out of the game in the 1st quarter, and the Giants appeared in control at the break, 17-3 up. However, Seau recovered a fumble on the third play of the second half; Rodney Culver then converted a 4th and 1 before Aaron Hayden scored two plays later. Following a missed field goal by the Giants, the next four drives ended in punts.

Increasing numbers of snowballs were raining down on the field during this period, with fans targeting both the officials and the Charger sideline. At the end of the 3rd quarter, an announcement over the stadium's PA warned Giants fans that the match could be awarded to San Diego if the barrage continued. One play into the 4th quarter, referee Ron Blum stopped the game and headed over to the Charger sideline to call up to the booth and have the threat repeated. While he bent to pick up the phone, a ball of hard ice was thrown in his direction; it struck San Diego's equipment manager Sid Brooks on the bridge of the nose, briefly knocking him out.

The game continued, with stadium security removing over 100 fans. Gale Gilbert converted a 4th and 6 with a 13-yard completion to Martin; on 4th and 2 from the 8, Culver then ran in the game-tying touchdown. The Giants quickly moved into position to respond, but on 2nd and goal from the 12, Seau hit Dave Brown as he threw, and the ball looped up to be intercepted by Shaun Gayle at the 1 yard line. He returned it 99 yards for a touchdown, covering the ball with both hands as he crossed the goal line to ensure that the continuing volleys of snowballs didn't knock it loose. Shortly afterwards, Leslie O'Neal forced a fumble, Lewis Bush recovered, and John Carney clinched the win with a 45-yard field goal.

Sau was a music group from Catalonia, which rose to fame in the area in the 1990s, being among the first groups to write pop music with Catalan lyrics, known as rock català.  The band's two main members were Carles Sabater, singer, and Pep Sala, who played guitar and sometimes keyboard. Sabater's death following a concert in 1999 ended the band's existence.

Pep Sala was the composer whilst lyrics were written together with Carles Sabater. No puc deixar de fumar (I cannot quit smoking) was their first album. Edited in 1988 by "Audiovisuals de Sarrià", the album contained the hits "Records d'Irlanda" ("Memories of Ireland") and the song "Deprimit" ("Depressed") which had an appearance on each subsequent album.

Two years later, the album What a night, recorded in London and Barcelona, confirmed the status of the group. That disc included Sau's most recognisable singles, "Boig per tu" ("Crazy for You") and "El Tren de Mitjanit" ("Midnight Train").

Sau participated in the historic concert on Palau Sant Jordi on June 14, 1991, together with Els Pets, Sopa de Cabra and Sangtraït> At the time, it had the European record for public attendance at a musical show held in a closed arena with 22,104 attending. Another of their most memorable concerts was held in the bullring La Monumental in July 1992 which was recorded for the album Concert de mitjanit (Midnight Concert).

WTOF (1110 AM, "Tower of Faith") is an American radio station licensed to serve Bay Minette, Alabama. The station is owned by Dave Minard, through licensee UM Enterprise, LLC. It previously aired a Christian radio format including syndicated Christian talk and Christian ministry plus Southern Gospel music.

History

The beginning
This station first began licensed broadcasting on April 16, 1957, under the ownership of the Southwest Alabama Broadcasting Company. The 1,000-watt daytime-only station broadcast on a frequency of 1150 kHz using the call sign WBCA.  Faulkner Radio Inc. acquired the station in December 1958. The WBCA call sign was said to stand for "Wonderful Baldwin County Alabama".

In 1967, the Federal Communications Commission granted the station a construction permit to change frequencies to the current 1110 kHz and increase broadcast power to 10,000 watts.

In March 1986, after nearly three decades of continuous ownership, Faulkner Radio Inc., reached an agreement to transfer the broadcast license for WBCA to Faulkner University. The deal was approved by the FCC on April 2, 1986, and the transaction was consummated on August 4, 1986. In March 1987, Faulkner University agreed to transfer the broadcast license for this station to Faulkner-Phillips Media, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on April 15, 1987, and the transaction was consummated on May 22, 1987.

The 1990s
In May 1990, Faulkner-Phillips Media, Inc., contracted to sell this station to Lake Area Radio, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on May 10, 1990, and the transaction was consummated on May 22, 1990. In August 1990, Lake Area Radio, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station to Gordon F. Earls Radio, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on September 27, 1990, and the transaction was consummated on October 5, 1990.

In October 1994, Gordon F. Earls Radio, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station to Gaston Monroe. The deal was approved by the FCC on December 5, 1994, and the transaction was consummated on January 6, 1995.

In April 1998, Gaston Monroe agreed to sell this station to Southern Media Communications, Inc., for a reported sale price of $91,200. The deal was approved by the FCC on June 1, 1998, and the transaction was consummated on July 22, 1998.

In March 2006, Southern Media Communications, Inc., made a deal to sell this station to Gulf Coast Broadcasting, Inc., as part of a three-station deal valued at $550,001. The deal was approved by the FCC on October 18, 2006, but the transaction was never consummated and the stations stayed with Southern Media Communications.

The present
In November 2006, Southern Media Communications, Inc., then agreed to sell this station to Buddy Tucker Association, Inc., for a reported sale price of $300,000. The deal was approved by the FCC on January 6, 2007, and the transaction was consummated on January 11, 2007.

In anticipation of the sale, the station was assigned the current WTOF call sign by the FCC on November 28, 2006. The WTOF call sign was previously used by a similarly formatted religious radio station in Canton, Ohio. That station also used the "Tower of Faith" branding. The station ceased broadcasting at sunset on November 22, 2020, as its owner is over 90 years old and is retiring.

Effective November 1, 2022, Buddy Tucker Association sold WTOF, sister station WMOB, and translator W239CW to Dave Minard's UM Enterprise, LLC for $100.

Kamenný Újezd () is a municipality and village in Rokycany District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 900 inhabitants.

Administrative parts

The village of Kocanda is an administrative part of Kamenný Újezd.

Etymology
To distinguish from other villages called Újezd, the place began to be called Kamenný Újezd (lit. "Stone Újezd") because of the stony soil in the area and its surroundings.

Geography
Kamenný Újezd is located about  southeast of Rokycany and  east of Plzeň. It lies in the Švihov Highlands. The highest point is the Kotel hill at  above sea level. The Klabava River flows through the municipality. The built-up area is located in the river valley and forms a contiguous built-up area together with Rokycany and Hrádek.

History
The first mention of the area of Kamenný Újezd is from 1177, when Duke Soběslav II promised this land to its soldier. The first written mention of the already existing village of Kamenný Újezd is from 1368. In 1498, King Vladislaus II confirmed that the village was part of the Rokycany estate. It remained part of Rokycany until abolition of feudal administration in 1850.

Local economy was based both on agriculture and on industry. The industry was represented by iron ore mining and wood processing from nearby forests. In the agriculture the village specialized in sheep farming, which is symbolized by ram's horns in its coat of arms.

19th and 20th century brought population increase and gradual transformation of Kamenný Újezd into semi-urban community influenced by proximity of industrial town of Rokycany. In 1868, Rokycany–Mirošov railway opened, initially for cargo transportation only. In May 1945 both American and Soviet armies reached Kamenný Újezd during liberation of Czechoslovakia in final days of World War II.

For a short period between 1980 and 1990, the village was merged with Rokycany, but later seceded and became again a separate municipality.

Demographics

Transport
Kamenný Újezd is located on the railway line of local importance leading from Rokycany to Příkosice.

Sights
Kamenný Újezd is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monuments are the homestead No. 8 from the second half of the 18th century and the homestead No. 12 from the first half of the 19th century.

Wingham Colliery railway station was a railway station on the East Kent Light Railway in southeast England. It was intended to serve Wingham Colliery, a short distance to the south, but the mine was aborted without producing any coal. The railway then tried to develop a passenger business, extending the line towards Wingham Town with the long-term aim of reaching Canterbury, but ran out of money before they did so.

Today there is little trace of the station or the railway, other than a line of trees that follow the course of the old trackbed and define the edge of a field. The station buildings consisted of two small wooden structures on the north side of the track that were moved to Wingham Town when it was built; the site has now been landscaped into the field.

History
It opened on 16 October 1916 and the last passenger train ran on 30 October 1948. Wingham Colliery was not developed beyond a 50-foot shaft.

Jewdas is a Jewish diaspora group based in London. It describes itself as a "radical Jewish diaspora group" and is described by The Jewish Chronicle as "known for its far-left anti-Zionism". It has a satirical-communal website and stages events in London and elsewhere.

History
The group has been described by Benjamin Joffe-Walt of The Guardian as a Jewish hipster organisation engaged in political, cultural and artistic activities.

The group initially came to attention for organising an event called "The Protocols of the Elders of Hackney" (a reference to the antisemitic hoax The Protocols of the Elders of Zion), with a flyer parodying traditional antisemitic images. Four members of the group were arrested.

In October 2011, Jewdas hosted ¡No Pasarán!, a party commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street.

In May 2015, the group brought over thirty people on its inaugural Birthwrong trip to Andalusia, Spain, parodying Birthright Israel's heritage trips for young adults from the Jewish diaspora. Advertised as "a trip for anyone who's sick of Israel's stranglehold on Jewish culture and wants to get away on a raucous holiday", the itinerary included: "See Maimonides! Get pissed! Do some Jewish tourism! Spend Shabbat with Andalusian Jews! Shvitz in a hammam! Visit a communist village! Get pissed!" Jewdas made a short film on the trip.

During the summer of 2015, Jewdas took part in two counter-protests against neo-Nazi demonstrations in North London. In January 2016, Jewdas took part in a counterprotest against a far-right rally against Syrian refugees arriving in Dover.

Jewdas' description of Israel as "a steaming pile of sewage which needs to be properly disposed of" on its Twitter feed was criticised by Jon Lansman, founder of the pro-Corbyn organisation Momentum, who said that the organisation's comments were "not helpful to Jeremy or the cause of opposing antisemitism in the Labour Party".

Representatives of the organisation use the collective pseudonym Geoffrey Cohen in speaking to the media.

Passover Seder
At the beginning of April 2018, Jeremy Corbyn, the United Kingdom's Leader of the Opposition, attended a third night Passover Seder held by the group in his constituency in a personal rather than official capacity. Following controversy over alleged antisemitism in the UK Labour Party, the Seder was described as symbolising Corbyn's lack of touch with mainstream Jewish opinion on issues such as antisemitism and Zionism. This criticism was not uncontroversial; comedian David Baddiel said that making out "it's somehow anti-Semitic for [Corbyn] to spend Seder with [Jewdas] just because they're far left is balls", while writer and actor David Schneider said: Boo! Corbyn needs to get out and meets some Jews!' (Corbyn spends Passover with some Jews at Jewdas) 'Boo! Not those Jews!

While discussing Corbyn's attendance at the Passover Seder, Jonathan Arkush, president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews said that Jewdas is a "source of virulent anti-semitism" and claimed that its members are "not all Jews". Jewdas replied in an editorial in The Guardian that "we love Judaism and Jewish culture, as every one of our events demonstrate ... To claim that we in Jewdas are somehow not real Jews is offensive, and frankly antisemitic".

Epiphany is a 1997 mystery novel by British author David Hewson. The story delves between two linear timelines, one in the 1970s the other the 1990s, and explores elements of drugs, murder and quantum physical philosophy.

Plot summary

Towards the end of the year 1975, five students have been visiting a deserted barn in the woods of San Francisco as a place to take drugs and have sex. On Christmas Eve, a young boy is abducted from his sister and parents and dismembered body parts are also found near the woods. The kidnapper and murderer is Michael Quinn, one of the students who now frequents the barn. He is strongly obsessed with LSD, quantum physics and the ideas of Schrödinger's cat, which he uses to justify his actions. Fellow student Hal Jamieson finds himself trying to get himself out of the police net that will inevitably close around them, and involves Paul Dunsany, a kind hearted musician who fails to realise the monstrous acts evolving around him.
All escape but Quinn, who is incarcerated for 20 years for murder, kidnapping and ransom. The missing child is never found.

Towards the end of 1995, Paul Dunsany has grown up in Seattle, as professional musician and owner of a recording studio. He meets a mysterious woman by the name of Joni, who begins to probe him about his past. Hal Jamieson is a rich and successful software mogul, living also in Washington. He is married to Louise, one of the original five. Upon hearing of Quinn's release from prison, he decides to have Quinn taken into solitary 'care', for fear that he could incriminate the rest of them about what happened in early 1976.

As Jamieson tries his best to reunite the original five and use his wealth to take care of the situation, he finds Dunsany cannot remember much of what happened, and the fifth person, a girl by the name of Mouse, is of unknown whereabouts. There is also the problem of the inquisitive woman, looking for the answer to what happened to the missing child. Quinn is older now, and has contracted HIV. But he still possesses the view of the world he gained from LSD, and is still very dangerous. Wishing for freedom, he plans his escape from the woodland house Jamieson has him forced to live in.

The 1994 San Diego Chargers season was the team's 35th, its 25th in the National Football League (NFL), and its 34th in San Diego. It was the franchise's first season with long snapper David Binn on the roster. He would play 17 seasons as a San Diego Charger, a franchise record.

The 1994 season began with the team trying to improve on their 8–8 record in 1993. The offense underwent a major overhaul, with the club leaders in rushing and receiving yards (Marion Butts and Anthony Miller) both traded during the offseason. Second-year running back Natrone Means took over the lead rusher role, setting a club record with 1,350 yards during the regular season. At wide receiver, the trio of Tony Martin, Shawn Jefferson and Mark Seay combined for over 2,000 yards. On defense, Junior Seau and Leslie O'Neal were again the club leaders in tackles and sacks respectively; Stanley Richard ran two of his four interceptions back for touchdowns. Future All-Pro safety Rodney Harrison joined the team as a 5th-round draft pick, but primarily played on special teams, where the Chargers had four touchdowns on kick returns and John Carney led the league in scoring.

San Diego won their first six games en route to an 11–5 record, and were crowned AFC West Champions. After a 17–13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship game, they advanced to Super Bowl XXIX, only to lose to the San Francisco 49ers 49–26 at Joe Robbie Stadium. To date, this is the Chargers' only Super Bowl appearance.

Game summaries

Week 1: at Denver Broncos

The Chargers recovered from an early eighteen-point deficit to win their opener, aided by key defensive plays at the end of each half. Down 17–0 and then 24–6, the Chargers rallied to lead 27–24, thanks to three Stan Humphries touchdown passes and a 99-yard interception return by Stanley Richard as time expired in the 1st half. Later, San Diego drove 89 yards in 19 plays, converting five 3rd downs and taking 10 minutes off the clock, capping the drive with a 1-yard Natrone Means touchdown run; this put them ahead 37–34, with 3:01 remaining. John Elway responded by leading the Broncos from their own 25-yard line to the Chargers' 3, but on 2nd and goal, Elway fumbled as he attempted to throw, and Junior Seau recovered with 35 seconds left to clinch the win.

Week 2: vs Cincinnati Bengals

San Diego started 2–0 for the first time in 13 years, courtesy of a straightforward win over the Bengals. Mark Seay caught 8 passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns, while Natrone Means rushed 21 times for 107 yards and one score. The final score was identical to the result of the teams' previous game, in 1992.

Week 3: at Seattle Seahawks

A pair of big plays helped the Chargers run their record to 3–0. Early in the 2nd quarter, the Seahawks reached 1st and goal at the Chargers' one-yard line, but had to settle for a field goal. The Chargers responded with a John Carney field goal and Natrone Means's 1-yard touchdown run, and led 10–3 at the half. Midway through the 3rd quarter, Seattle were threatening with a 1st and 10 at the San Diego 28, but Stanley Richard picked off a Rick Mirer pass and went 73 yards for his second touchdown of the season. Later, Humphries was sacked in his own one-yard line by Brent Williams, bringing up a 3rd and 19. Humphries then hit Tony Martin in stride at the 35-yard line, and he outran the Seahawks' defense for a 99-yard touchdown, the seventh such pass in NFL history.

Week 4: at Los Angeles Raiders

John Carney's 33-yard field goal with two seconds remaining preserved San Diego's unbeaten record, after they had let a twenty-point lead slip in the 2nd half. Darrien Gordon's 90-yard punt return only three minutes into the game gave the Chargers a lead they built on with three Carney field goals and a 1-yard TD run by Natrone Means. Down 23–3 midway through the 3rd quarter, the Raiders began their comeback when Jeff Hostetler scrambled for a touchdown on 4th and goal, and completed it when Lionel Washington ran a deflected Humphries pass back 31 yards for another score. Humphries, who had injured his knee on the play, stayed in the game and led a 14-play, 65-yard drive to set up Carney's winning kick, the key play being an 8-yard completion to Ronnie Harmon on 4th and 1.

A loss by the New York Giants during San Diego's bye week left the Chargers as the last unbeaten team in the league for the first time as an NFL club.

Week 6: vs. Kansas City Chiefs

A dominant performance by Natrone Means helped the Chargers reach 5–0 for the first time in 33 years. Means rushed for 125 yards on 19 carries, and played a major role in the only two touchdown drives of the game. Firstly, with San Diego up 6–3, he had runs of 9, 8, 6, 6 and 9 yards on five consecutive plays, the last of these a touchdown. In the 4th quarter, further rushes of 9, 25 and 23 yards helped set up a 5-yard touchdown pass from Stan Humphries to Mark Seay, making the score 20–6. The Chiefs gained 361 yards, but could muster only a pair of field goals from six trips into San Diego territory.

The Chargers debuted their powder blue throwback uniforms in this game.

Week 7: at New Orleans Saints

Means again excelled, rushing for three touchdowns, and accounting for 120 of the Chargers' 198 rushing yards. San Diego led 24–0 early in the 2nd quarter, and John Carney's five field goals helped them stave off a Saints comeback thereafter.

Week 8: vs. Denver Broncos

The Broncos, 1–5 heading into the game, handed the Chargers their first loss of the season. San Diego forced two turnovers in Broncos' territory in the first half, but struggled to capitalize on their openings and led only 12–7 at the break. A 43-yard touchdown pass from John Elway to Shannon Sharpe gave Denver their first lead, and Jason Elam's 54-yard field goal put them ahead to stay with 10:02 to play. San Diego drove into Denver territory in the final minute, but Humphries was knocked out of the game with an ankle injury, and backup Gale Gilbert threw four consecutive incompletions from the Denver 31.

Natrone Means ran for 100 yards in a losing cause, while John Carney made five field goals from as many attempts for the second game in a row.

Week 9: vs. Seattle Seahawks

Stanley Richard forced two key turnovers either side of halftime, and the Chargers overcame an uncertain start, and the loss of Stan Humphries, to win comfortably. Seattle led 7–6 before Richard forced two fumbles from running back Chris Warren either side of halftime, both recovered by the Chargers, leading to touchdown runs from Ronnie Harmon and Natrone Means. Humphries had to leave the game with a dislocated left elbow in the 3rd quarter, but Gale Gilbert was solid in relief, completing 11 of 14 passes, for 125 yards and a pair of touchdowns, caught by Tony Martin and Alfred Pupunu. Means had 104 yards on 26 carries.

Week 10: at Atlanta Falcons

A missed 47-yard field goal by John Carney with seven minutes to play cost the Chargers, as they were kept out of the end zone for the second time in three games. Gale Gilbert committed no turnovers, but had only one completion over 20 yards, and couldn't lead San Diego past midfield after Carney's miss. Natrone Means rushed for 102 yards, his fifth consecutive 100-yard game; this set a new club record, eventually broken by LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006.

Week 11: at Kansas City Chiefs

The Chargers overcame four first-half turnovers to earn a crucial divisional game. Kansas City entered the game a game back in the AFC West, and would have gone on top on divisional record with a win.

Andre Coleman fumbled the opening kickoff, and though Stanley Richard soon picked off Joe Montana to offset the error, further fumbles by Means and Humphries followed, as well as a Humphries interception. In total, the Chiefs started five of their first nine drives in San Diego territory, but only led 13–0 at halftime. The game turned late in the third quarter, when Ron Dickerson was penalised for running into the kicker on a San Diego punt. Humphries hit Shaun Jefferson for a 52-yard touchdown on the next play. Midway through the 4th quarter, Darren Carrington intercepted Montana and returned the ball to the Chiefs' eight-yard line. Humphries found a wide-open Duane Young for the go-ahead score three plays later.

The Chargers forced a punt on the Chiefs' next possession, but had to punt themselves after Means was stopped two yards short of a first down at the two-minute warning. Montana then converted two 4th downs, before finding Danan Hughes at the San Diego 31 with the clock running. Montana then spiked the ball an instant after the clock had expired, leaving the Chiefs with no opportunity to attempt a game-winning field goal.

Week 12: at New England Patriots

Former Charger Marion Butts rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown to lead the 4–6 Patriots to an upset win over the 8–2 Chargers. San Diego generated few threats on offense throughout the game, but only trailed 10–3 late in the 3rd quarter following Andre Coleman's 80-yard kickoff return touchdown. New England responded with a 12-play, 64-yard drive capped by Butts's 1-yard TD run. A 2-yard touchdown pass from Humphries to Martin came too late to affect the outcome.

Week 13: vs. Los Angeles Rams

Four interceptions of Rams' quarterback Chris Miller helped the Chargers overcome a faltering offensive performance and dodge an upset defeat. Miller threw for two touchdowns in the 2nd quarter, to which the Chargers could only respond with a pair of field goals – they trailed 14–6 at halftime. However, the Rams were forced to punt on their first possession of the second half, and Darrien Gordon returned the kick 75 yards up the left sideline for his second touchdown of the season. Ronnie Harmon then tied the scores with a two-point conversion run, before catching a go-ahead touchdown pass from Humphries. The Rams responded by reaching 3rd and 1 at the San Diego 7-yard line, but Gordon intercepted Miller in the endzone to preserve the lead.

Following an exchange of field goals, the Rams made a final bid to tie the scores, but Sean Vanhorse intercepted Miller's 4th-down pass and returned it 50 yards for the clinching touchdown.

Week 14: vs. Los Angeles Raiders

A loss by Kansas City earlier in the week left the Chargers one win from clinching the AFC West, but the Raiders denied them on Monday Night Football. Unusually, four different quarterbacks threw touchdown to four different receivers in the first half alone, with Jeff Hostetler and Stan Humphries both picking up injuries and giving way to Vince Evans and Gale Gilbert respectively. Both starting QBs returned in the 3rd quarter, which saw the Chargers drive inside the Los Angeles 20-yard line. Means then badly missed an open receiver on an HB option pass, before fumbling a few plays later. Following an exchange of field goals, Hostetler hit Rocket Ismail for the game-winner with seven minutes left; San Diego failed to cross the LA 40 after that.

Week 15: vs. San Francisco 49ers

The Chargers missed their second chance to win their division, easily defeated by a 49ers team winning their ninth game in a row. San Diego managed to cross the San Francisco 30 on their first possession, but Humphries was sacked attempting to convert a 4th and 8. Steve Young then led his team to three touchdowns in four possessions, and a 21–0 lead. In the second half, Natrone Means scored his first touchdown for six weeks, and Humphries found Tony Martin for another score, but the 49ers struck the final blow when Deion Sanders returned an interception for a 90-yard touchdown.

Humphries passed for a season-high 337 yards, while Martin caught nine passes for a career-high 172 yards. The 23-point margin of defeat would be repeated seven weeks later in Super Bowl XXIX.

Week 16: at New York Jets

San Diego overcame a slow start to wrap up their division on their third try. A pair of Nick Lowery field goals had the Jets up 6–0 approaching halftime, but a two-yard strike from Humphries to Mark Seay put the Chargers ahead to stay. A 44-yard Humphries-to-Martin connection extended the lead to eight points, then, after the defense stopped New York on downs, the same pair hooked up again for 60 yards and the clinching touchdown. Humphries completed 19 of 26 passes for 280 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. This gave him a passer rating of 146.3, a career-high.

Week 17: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

San Diego earned a 1st-round playoff bye on John Carney's 32-yard field goal with 3 seconds left in the game. In a back-and-forth encounter, Andre Coleman's 90-yard kickoff return touchdown put the Chargers ahead 10–3, before Pittsburgh went up 13–10 with a minute remaining in the half. The Chargers responded with a rapid 73-yard drive, capped by a Humphries-to-Seay touchdown pass. The pair connected again to convert a 4th and 4 on the first drive of the 3rd quarter, the key play of a 17-play drive culminating in a Means touchdown and a 24–13 lead.

Pittsburgh, who were assured of the #1 seed in the playoffs, had rested many of their starters by this point, but nonetheless rallied. Mike Tomczak led the team on three consecutive touchdown drives, putting them ahead 34–27 with 6:29 to play. Coleman broke off a 46-yard return on the ensuing kickoff, and the Chargers, now led by Gale Gilbert after another Humphries injury, soon reached 4th and 1 on the Steelers' 20. Means then broke through off right tackle, surviving contact with numerous defenders en route to the end zone. After the defense forced a three-and-out, Means carried four times on a 34-yard drive to set up the winning kick.

The International Speed Windsurfing Class (ISWC) is a class of speed windsurfing boards that has developed over the last 30 years in order to facilitate high performance competition in strong winds and on flat water. The International Speed Windsurfing Class is controlled by World Sailing and has been adopted as an international class in spring 2007. The class is defined as an "experimental" class, which means that the class rules give a wide possibility for the development of new equipment, also outside commonly used technologies. Speed windsurfing events are normally held on "flat water" as opposed to coastal surf; which means side-offshore wind directions with a strength of at least . The ISWC speed world champion is established throughout a tour, the Speed World Cup.

Records
Antoine Albeau is the current record holder with a speed of  over a 500 m course at Luderitz Speed Challenge (Namibia) on 13 November 2012.

The previous record holder is Finian Maynard having reached an average speed of  over the same distance at the same location, on 10 April 2005.  This exceeded his previous record of  set on 13 November 2004 at the same venue.

The Petronas FP1 is a  liquid cooled inline three-cylinder homologation special sport bike that was produced in 2003 by Petronas.

Originally developed jointly by Petronas and Sauber Petronas Engineering as the Petronas GP1 989cc prototype to compete in MotoGP, Petronas decided to race the motorcycle in the Superbike World Championship instead. To meet the requirements for the motorcycle's entry into the championship, the engine was reduced to  and Petronas had to produce 150 road version motorcycles for FIM homologation.

The first 75 units of Petronas FP1s were built in the United Kingdom by January 30 2003, passing homologation inspection to enable the bike to contest in . The final 75 units were assembled in Malaysia by the country's motorcycle manufacturer, Modenas by July 2003.

Out of the 150 units produced only 100 were made available to the public available in Panache Green, Exotic Black and Misty Grey. The other 50 units were kept to be used for racing.

Petronas joined forces with four-time Superbike World champion Carl Fogarty to form a racing team — Foggy Petronas Racing, with riders Troy Corser and James Haydon —  to participate in the Superbike World Championship.

From  the FIM changed the rules to allow 1000 cc machines (either twins, triples or four-cylinder) to race. The FP1 was developed under the previous regulations (that limited the engine displacement for 3-cylinder to 900cc), as a result the motorcycle was at a disadvantage from the rest of the field.

With the Japanese manufacturers limiting their involvement for 2003 and , the FP1 was able to have some good results, finishing on the podium twice in 2004. With Japanese motorcycles returning in  the FP1 fell behind and by  it was struggling to finish in the points. Petronas terminated the superbike project at the end of 2006.

In 2010, Motor Cycle News discovered 60 brand new FP1's stored in Basildon, Essex. Manufactured for Petronas by MSX International for homologation purposes, they were part of the original batch of 75, but which were never shipped to Malaysia. The bikes are presently held in the former MSX premises by new company owner Arrk R&D, who are subject to a confidentiality agreement to Petronas.

Wingham (Canterbury Road) railway station  was a terminus on the East Kent Light Railway. It opened in 1925 (named Wingham) and the last passenger train ran on 30 October 1948. There was a siding to the south of the road, and carriages were usually run into the station under gravity. Occasional freight/parcel trains ran until 1950 but the station was not officially closed until 1951.
After closure the cutting containing the station was infilled and covered with a field of crops. The site of the sidings are now occupied by a tea shop adjacent to which is a short section of undisturbed trackbed.
