The French frigate Minerve was originally launched in 1788 for the Portuguese Navy, where she served under the dual names of Nossa Senhora da Vitória and Minerva. The French Navy captured and renamed her in November 1809, after which she played a notable role in the Indian Ocean campaign of 1809-1811, participating in the defeat of a Royal Navy frigate squadron at the Battle of Grand Port, but at the surrender of Mauritius in December 1810, the ship was handed over to the British, and seems to have been broken up soon afterwards.

Design and construction
The Nossa Senhora da Vitória was built at Lisbon by the shipbuilder Torcato Jose Clavina, and launched on 18 July 1788, or according to some other sources, 19 July in the same year.

A standard modern work on the Portuguese navy of this period states the ship's hull length at 156 feet 9 inches, and her beam (the breadth of the hull) at a very wide 58 feet. Conversely, an equivalent work quoting French sources states her length at 147 pieds du roi and 1 pouce, and her beam at 35 pieds 8 pouces, corresponding to 47.78 x 11.57m or 156 ft 9 in by 38 ft English measure. The reason for the discrepancy in beam measurement is not clear, though it is possible that it represents miscopying of a shared source.

Pierre Bouvet, who commanded the Minerve in French service, wrote that the ship seemed large enough to accommodate a main armament of 24-pounder long guns, although details of her hull construction indicated that in practice she had never carried anything heavier than 18-pounder long guns. The armament allocated at the time of the ship's construction is said to have been eleven pairs of 18-pounders, eleven pairs of 9-pounders, and four pairs of 6-pounders, numbers more suited for a small two-decker with two full batteries of guns than a true frigate, but by the time of her capture by the French in 1809, her armament had assumed a more conventional frigate configuration, with the main gundeck mounting fourteen pairs of 18-pounders and one pair of carronades, supported by nine pairs of lighter guns on the open deck of the forecastle and quarterdeck, a mix of 24-pounder carronades and long 9-pounders.

After her capture by the French, Bouvet re-armed the ship, replacing her Portuguese 18-pounders with English cannon of the same calibre which had previously formed the main battery of the frigate La Canonnière (ex-HMS Minerve), and in the absence of sufficient numbers of carronades, armed her forecastle and quarterdeck with 18-pounder short guns taken from the captured East Indiaman Warren Hastings. This also appealed to Bouvet as it simplified the ammunition supply by making all the cannon aboard a ship the same calibre (a practice that would be widely adopted in subsequent decades), and he also borrowed several practices from the opposing Royal Navy, including the use of a barricade of tightly bundled hammocks to protect the quarterdeck from musketry and grapeshot during battle.

The Portuguese had originally allocated the frigate a crew of around 349 men, but due to the limited manpower resources available in the Indian Ocean, her total crew in French service was perhaps below 250 men, and a significant proportion of them were Portuguese defectors.

Portuguese Navy career
In Portuguese service, the frigate was known as both Nossa Senhora da Vitória and Minerva, with one online source suggesting that this reflected a change of name around 1792. In 1807, along with the bulk of the Portuguese Navy, she participated in the transfer of the Portuguese Court to Brazil. In June 1809 Minerva departed from Brazil, under Captain Pinto, and on 22 November 1809 she encountered the French frigate Bellone, under Captain Duperré.

Duperré's report states that he had come into gunnery range by about 3 o' clock and opened fire, but dogged sailing by the Portuguese frigate kept him at a distance and prevented him from keeping up a sustained fire, and after two hours, he ordered his gunners to cease fire, electing to manoeuvre his faster-sailing frigate to gain the advantage of the weather gauge.  Although he initially hoped to fight a night action, calm weather meant that he was unable to close the range with Minerva until 9 o' clock the next morning, 23 November 1809. The Minerva continued to manouvre, and although some sources claim that Bellone was able to deliver a raking broadside, it was not until some time after quarter past nine that the French frigate was able to secure a favourable position, at pistol-shot range off the port quarter of her Portuguese opponent's stern. Bellone then simply cannonaded Minerva for around one hour and forty-five minutes, targeting her sails and rigging, until the Portuguese frigate surrendered.

French service as Minerve
Duperré, hindered by the damage Bellone had sustained, the reduction and dispersion of his crew over his prizes, and the 500 prisoners he had aboard, decided to return to Île de France, where he arrived on 2 January 1810, accompanied by the Victor, a former privateer corvette which Bellone had recaptured from the Royal Navy, and the frigate Manche, which they had met en route.

At Île de France the French repaired the captured Portuguese frigate and commissioned her as Minerve, appointing Pierre Bouvet as her captain. As noted above, Bouvet re-armed her with captured English guns. To form the core of a new French crew, Bouvet was allowed to bring with him half the seamen from his former command, the brig-rigged corvette Entreprenant, along with the men of the captured schooner Mouche n° 6, who he had repatriated from the Philippines, augmented by and a few veteran marine artillerymen from the crew of the frigate La Canonnière; but this probably did not amount to more than 75-100 French seamen at most - the Entreprenant had a notional strength of 110 men, so presumably around fifty sailors were carried over from her, while the maximum crew assigned for a Mouche-class schooner was 25 men. To make up the numbers, he recruited around a hundred and fifty of the frigate's former Portuguese crew, and a number of young local volunteers, though even with these reinforcements, the crew was perhaps only in the region of 200-250 men.

Fight with the East India Convoy
Minerve then sailed with Bellone and the smaller Victor on 14 March 1810, to patrol in the waters between Mauritius and Africa astride the main sea-lanes Europe and the East Indies. After failing to encounter any enemy ships in the open ocean east of Madagascar, they moved into the Mozambique Channel, south of the Comoros Islands between Madagascar and the African mainland, and at daybreak on 3 July 1810, the lookouts aboard Minerve sighted three sails on the horizon, and the frigate moved to investigate.

The ships proved to be the East Indiamen Windham, Ceylon and Astell; although they were civilian vessels, they were well-armed with 18-pounder cannon, their captains had stood their ground successfully against French raiders in the past, and their crews were now reinforced by large numbers of British Army soldiers.

French and English sources give somewhat contradictory versions of the resulting battle, but it in outline, it is clear that Minerve sustained much of the fight before Bellone came into gunnery range, sailing down the British line and engaging the three East Indiamen in turn before manouevring around the head of their formation. After turning, however, the Minerve had its main topmast shot away, which also brought down the mizzen topmast. Bellone and Victor took over the battle, while the Minerve cleared away the tangle and eventually returned under its lower sails to resume the fight against Ceylon, which surrendered without further resistance, while the dismasted Windham surrendered to Bellone, and the Astell made its escape.

A part of Minerve's crew were assigned to man the captured Ceylon, led by Enseigne de vaisseau Vincent Moulac. The French squadron and the two captured East Indiamen sailed to Anjouan, the nearest island in the Comoros archipelago, where they could repair their shattered masts and attend to injured personnel; not until mid-July were the repairs completed and the Minerve and the other ships ready to return to Île de France. Arriving there a month later on 20 August, the Minerve immediately found herself embroiled in the Battle of Grand Port.

Battle of Grand Port
Approaching the Grand Port anchorage, the squadron found another French-built frigate anchored there under the protection of the heavy guns of the fort on Île de la Passe. Most officers of the squadron believed this ship to be the powerful privateer Charles, which was expected to return to the island after a refit in France.

In reality, the frigate was HMS Nereide, and the British had seized the fort on Île de Passe a week earlier. As Minerve sailed into the anchorage, the 42-pounder cannon of the fort opened fire against her waterline, striking her orlop, and killing and maiming many of the young volunteers who were acting as powder monkeys. Nonetheless, the Minerve was able to sail forward and, according to her captain's memoirs, deliver a raking broadside into the stern of the British frigate, followed by her prize Ceylon and the smaller Victor. Bellone then entered the harbour behind them, though Windham did not risk the passage, and was subsequently recaptured by Royal Navy.

The French anchored their ships in a defensive line, with Minerve at the rear, Ceylon and  Bellone ahead of her, and the smaller Victor tucked behind them; another squadron of frigates based on the opposite side of the island was ordered to sail round and try and trap the Royal Navy attacking force. The opposing Royal Navy force, meanwhile, had been reinforced with three other frigates, HMS Sirius, HMS Magicienne, and  HMS Iphigenia, and on 23 August, they attacked, sailing boldly into the harbour - the British plan was for HMS Iphigenia to come broadside-to-broadside with Minerve, while HMS Magicienne positioned herself off her bow, to fight both her and the weaker Ceylon, but while Iphigenia reached her position, the Magicienne ran aground with her vulnerable bows pointing towards the French line - the Minerve thus found herself trading broadsides with Iphigenia and simultaneously delivering ranking fire against Magicienne, which answered with her chase guns; nearby, a similar duel evolved between Bellone, HMS Nereide and HMS Sirius. At dusk, however the anchor cables of the French frigates were shot away in close succession, and they drifted forward and ran aground; Minerve ended up behind the Bellone, with only her stern projecting so that the four aft cannon of the main-deck broadside and the corresponding five quarterdeck guns were able to continue firing; Ceylon ran aground behind her in turn, so that only nine of her broadside guns were unmasked.

Bouvet now had to assume overall command of the squadron from the wounded Duperré, and around 8 o' clock that evening, he transferred control of Minerve to his second-in-command Lieutenant de vaisseau Albin Roussin; the gunnery duel continued through the night, and it was Roussin who received the surrender of the shattered HMS Nereide the next morning - later that day, HMS Magicienne, still aground, was set on fire; attempts to refloat HMS Sirius proving futile, she was blown up in turn on the morning of 25 August, leaving only HMS Iphigenia retreating slowly out of the harbour, kedging with her anchors due to wind conditions and the risk of running aground; Bouvet, meanwhile, had moved first to Bellone, apparently taking with him some of the crew from Minerve to pass ammunition and reinforce her gun crews, and then on 26 August to the smaller Victor (the only ship in the French squadron still capable of sailing to confront the retreating Iphigenia, the others having run aground too hard to be refloated mid-battle), and finally the captured HMS Iphigenia, which surrendered on 27 August after the second French frigate squadron appeared to close the exit from the port; as the surrendered ship was relatively undamaged compared with the other frigates from the battle, she was promptly commissioned by the French as La Iphigénie, with Bouvet placed in charge and a large proportion of the French seamen from the Minerve reassigned to crew her.

Subsequent role
At least one modern source claims that Minerve next sailed to the Philippines, to recover the crew of the schooner Mouche n° 6, which the Spanish had seized at Manila. However, this seems unlikely, as Bouvet's own memoirs make clear that this mission had taken place earlier while he was in command of Entreprenant.

In reality, there is little that evidence Minerve ever left Grand Port. The journal of the French flag officer Guy-Victor Duperré shows that between 17 and 25 October 1810, several contradictory orders were issued in quick succession: Minerve and the other ships of his squadron were first taken out of service to undergo repairs, then ordered to hastily make ready again, before Minerve was specifically assigned to serve as a prison hulk for crewmen from captured enemy ships; then on 27 November she was again repurposed, anchored as a guard ship or floating battery to defend a new harbour boom.

This did not prevent the arrival of a large British invasion force, and on 3 December 1810, the frigate was handed over to the Royal Navy, although her officers and crew were allowed to return to France to continue the fight, along with the rest of the personnel from the naval squadron and defending garrison. In April 1811, a Royal Navy report stated that Minerve would require three months of repair at considerable expense, and though there is no definitive record of her fate, the ship appears to have been broken up shortly thereafter.

Alalcomenaeus is one of the most widespread and longest-surviving arthropod genera of the Early and Middle Cambrian. Known from over 300 specimens in the Burgess Shale and the Chengjiang biota. it is a member of the group Megacheira.

Morphology
Alalcomenaeus had three median eyes; two stalked, more lateral eyes; a triflagellate great appendage; and two more head appendages posterior to that. Like its body appendages, these were biramous—their inner branch was spiny, segmented, flexible and leg-like, while the outer portion had a large surface area and resembled a flap.

Alalcomenaeus reached about 6 cm in length, although many smaller specimens are known. Its head was covered with a shield, and its eleven body segments were also covered with an exoskeleton. Its body terminated with a paddle-like telson ("tail") which probably helped to propel the organism; this ended with long flat spikes in the plane of the tail fin.

Ecology
The organism probably swam, wafting its outer flap-limbs in waves along its body to gain propulsion, in the manner of Anomalocaris. Its inner limb branches do not appear to be optimised for walking, although it is possible they helped the organism move along the sea floor. A variety of other functions have been suggested, such as clinging to algal fronds; they seem best suited to grabbing onto, and tearing up, other animals, suggesting that the organism was probably a scavenger. However, its large eyes and the long flagella on its great appendages, combined with its large feeding apparatus and the spines on its inner limb branches, are more consistent with a predatory lifestyle, and the most recent interpretation has it feeding on organisms that lived on or in the surface of the sea floor.

Affinity
Alalcomenaeus was initially thought to fall in the stem group to the crustacea, and was placed in a clade with Leanchoilia, Actaeus and Yohoia. It was subsequently suggested to be related to the  opabiniids, mainly on the basis of its great appendage. More up to date analyses place it along with Leanchoilia and Yohoia as well as Sanctacaris, Habelia, Sarotrocercus and Sidneyia, somewhere within the arachnomorpha. The closeness of Sanctacaris and Leanchoilia has been supported by subsequent work, and Actaeus is often excluded from such works as it is poorly understood. Currently, it is included within Megacheira.

Distribution
Alalcomenaeus is very rare in the Walcott quarry of the Burgess Shale, so was described on the basis of half a dozen specimens. As other exposures of the Burgess Shale were unearthed, it became apparent that the creature was, in fact, a dominant member of the fauna. It has also been discovered in the Chengjiang and from Utah, giving it a long stratigraphic range.
Including 596 juveniles, 618 specimens of Alalcomenaeus are known from the Greater Phyllopod bed, where they comprise 1.2% of the community.

Elland Power Station was a coal-fired power station situated adjacent to the Manchester to Wakefield railway line and on a loop of the River Calder, north east of the town of Elland in West Yorkshire. The station occupied a site of some 65 acres.

History
The construction of Elland Power Station was planned in 1945. It was designed and built by the then Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB), Northern Project Group. Building work began in 1951 and the project cost £10 million. The first generating unit began generating electricity on 7 August 1959, but the station did not officially open and begin generating at full capacity until 28 April 1961. The station used three Metropolitan Vickers 180 MW generating sets. Later in the 1960s, the station won an award for its clean and efficient operation. There were three boilers (two John Brown, one Yarrow) each rated for 69 kg/s of steam; steam conditions were 62.06 bar and 482 °C. The cooling towers were built by Davenport Engineering.

The generating capacity, electricity output and thermal efficiency were as shown in the table.

Coal from the Yorkshire coalfields was delivered by train on the adjacent Calder Valley Line and moved around the site using 0-4-0 shunters. Elland No. 1, a CEGB 0-4-0 diesel shunter is preserved at Mangapps Railway Museum, Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex.

On 22 November 1971, the station's conveyor belt was destroyed in a fire. After the UK's electric supply industry was privatised in 1989, the station was operated by PowerGen. The station closed in 1991 before being demolished in 1996. The station's site is now the site of Lowfields Industrial Estate although the associated switching substation was retained and remains in use.

The Incredible Maze is a WiiWare game developed and published by Digital Leisure. The game is compatible with both the Wii Remote and the Wii Balance Board.

It was released in North America on October 20, 2008, in Europe on October 24, 2008, and in Japan on December 8, 2009.

Gameplay
The Incredible Maze involves the player navigating a ball through many different mazes by either twisting the Wii Remote or shifting their weight on the Balance Board to tilt the maze around the ball. The player must avoid letting the ball fall into holes or slipping off the sides while also using objects such as jump pads, sliding blocks and warp zones to get them through the maze.

The game also features a Challenge mode, where the player hunts for gems within a time limit, and a Time Attack mode in which they must find their way through the maze in the fastest time possible.

Reception
Most reviews were generally negative against the game, with it scoring a 27 from 6 reviews at Metacritic. WiiWare World scored The Incredible Maze a 2/10, calling it a "legitimate mess" with poorly designed stages, unreliable controls that left the game "practically unplayable with a Wii Remote"  and an amateurish presentation with "rudimentary" graphics they felt were "some sort of bad joke". IGN scored the game a 2.5/10, calling it "unbearably bad" and harshly criticized the sensitive control schemes and basic presentation of the game. NGamer called it "a hairy wart on WiiWare's beautiful face".

In contrast, Review Busters scored the game an 8/10, calling it "a basic game that is fun for an hour or two at a time ... For what you pay for, there is enough here for a lot of fun with your friends and family." Glide Underground gave it the Editor's Choice award, noting that "For a solid and innovative take on a classic game that expands it to a whole new wealth of possibilities. I don't see a downside here, and it's certainly worth the risk, especially for parents worrying about their young kids getting "violent" games. Plus, it's something else to do with your Wii Fit board. Pick it up if you have the chance." Frictionless Insight scored the game 2.5/5, saying that "The Incredible Maze is a bare-bones entrant into the tilting maze genre, but has two things going for it. The Incredible Maze costs little, at 500 points ($5), and so is easy to pick up and play without having to make a larger (guilty) purchase."

The Gala Ensemble were a British group of five opera singers formed by SonyBMG in 2008 that recorded an album of selections from the works of Gilbert & Sullivan, such as The Pirates of Penzance, H.M.S. Pinafore and The Mikado.

The ensemble consisted of Sally Johnson (soprano), Elinor Moran (soprano), Hannah Pedley (mezzo-soprano), Jonathan Prentice (baritone) and Richard Knight (tenor). The musical director was Marcus Marriott. The group were assembled by Sony Records, which released their recording, The Best of Gilbert & Sullivan, in 2008.

Members of the group
Sally Johnson was born in Liverpool and grew up in Penrith.

Elinor Moran (born 1980) from Stoke-on-Trent, England, was a student at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester before moving to London to study voice at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She was also a member of the touring troupe Mid Wales Opera and a singing coach.

Hannah Pedley was born in Leeds and taught singing at the Royal Ballet School.

Jonathan Prentice from Bournemouth performed as a principal with the Candlelight Opera Company in productions such as Don Giovanni and Rigoletto.  Prentice appeared on the recording A Christmas Choral Spectacular.

Richard Knight from Lichfield trained at the Birmingham Conservatoire.

Marcus Marriott was the musical director.

The Best of Gilbert and Sullivan
Sony BMG released the Gala Ensemble's recording, The Best of Gilbert & Sullivan, on 24 November 2008. Several previous compilation recordings by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company and others have been called The Best of Gilbert and Sullivan, including a Sony Classical Records release in 2000.

The disc has 15 tracks and a running time of 36 minutes. To promote the album the Gala Ensemble performed on The Alan Titchmarsh Show and BBC Breakfast on 12 November 2008.

Critical reception
Few newspapers reviewed the album. The review in Leicester Mercury concluded, "I don't think this album will attract many G&S converts, and seasoned buffs will probably just dust off their original recordings." The review at the Gilbert and Sullivan Discography said: "This is not an updating of these pieces, it is a bastardisation. This recording deserves outright condemnation ... support for this disc is support for the end of live G and S as we know it. It sets a precedent that electronic falsifications of this music are acceptable.

The album appeared at the launch of The Specialist Classical Chart in the UK for the week commencing 25 January 2009. It became the first No. 1 ranked album on the chart.

Anna Rose "Rosie" Napravnik (born February 9, 1988) is a former  American Thoroughbred horse racing jockey and two-time winner of the Kentucky Oaks. Beginning her career in 2005, she was regularly ranked among the top jockeys in North America in both earnings and total races won.  By 2014 she had been in the top 10 by earnings three years in a row and was the highest-ranked woman jockey in North America. In 2011, she won the Louisiana Derby for her first time and was ninth in the 2011 Kentucky Derby with the horse Pants on Fire. In 2012 she broke the total wins and earnings record for a woman jockey previously held by Julie Krone, and became the first woman rider to win the Kentucky Oaks, riding Believe You Can. She won the Oaks for a second time in 2014 on Untapable.  She is only the second woman jockey to win a Breeders' Cup race and the first to win more than one, having won the 2012 Breeders' Cup Juvenile on Shanghai Bobby and the 2014 Breeders' Cup Distaff on Untapable.  Napravnik's fifth-place finish in the 2013 Kentucky Derby and third in the 2013 Preakness Stakes on Mylute are the best finishes for a woman jockey in those two Triple Crown races to date, and she is the only woman to have ridden in all three Triple Crown races.

A native of New Jersey, she and her horse trainer husband, Joe Sharp, have homes in Louisville, Kentucky and New Orleans, Louisiana. She was the leading rider at the Fair Grounds Race Course every year from 2011 through 2014 and leading rider at Keeneland Race Course in 2013 and 2014.  After her win in the 2014 Breeders' Cup Distaff, Napravnik announced she was seven weeks pregnant and taking a "retirement" of "indefinite" duration from race riding following the 2014 Breeders' Cup. She continues to assist Sharp in training race horses, including 2017 Kentucky Derby contender Girvin.

Background
Napravnik was born in her grandmother's home in Mendham, New Jersey, on February 9, 1988. Shortly after she was born, she was sent to a hospital in Morristown, New Jersey, which is often mistakenly listed as her location of birth. Her father Charles is a farrier and her mother Cindy ran a boarding and training stable, plus trained event horses.  She has one older sister, Jasmine (known as "Jazz"), and a brother, Colt. Napravnik began working with horses at a very young age. Her first horse-related injury was a broken arm that occurred when she fell off a pony at age four.  By the age of seven, she began to ride in pony races, and, inspired by the documentary Jewels of the Triple Crown, she decided that year to become a jockey who rode Triple Crown races.  She spent most of her childhood in New Jersey, but lived briefly in Vermont with her mother after the divorce of her parents, though she spent summers with her sister Jazz, who was living in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

In early adolescence, Napravnik, along with her sister, went to work for trainers Lilith Boucher, Bruce Miller and Jack Fisher. By age 13, she worked for steeplechase trainer Jonathan Sheppard.  At 15, she decided to take a year off from employment in the horse industry to spend time with friends and to be an ordinary teen. But at 16, Napravnik went to live with her sister at the farm of trainer Holly Robinson in Maryland, and Robinson sent her to work for trainer Richard "Dickie" Small. Small had a good reputation for mentoring young riders and had helped several other women jockeys get started in their careers. Napravnik began exercising Small's race horses in 2004. That year, she attended both Hereford High School and night school, but left school before her senior year to begin racing as a professional jockey. She later passed her high school equivalency GED test.

Napravnik is  tall, and as a jockey rode at about .  In addition to racing, she is very active in efforts to rehome and provide aftercare to retired race horses. In 2014, she began to show her own off-track Thoroughbred Old Ironsides, nicknamed Sugar, in Eventing.  Interviewed for Vogue magazine, she explained how she felt about riding in the American classic horse races, "When you're riding in the Derby, you see all those iconic silks in the same race and it gives it a special feel, like you're part of history."

Joe Sharp and family

Napravnik married Joe Sharp in October 2011. He is three years older than Napravnik, and has a daughter, Aiyana, born in 2005, whose mother is jockey Chamisa Goodwin.  Napravnik and Sharp have two sons together, Carson, born in 2015 and Tucker, born 2016.

Horse owner Ken Ramsey, who knows Napravnik and Sharp well, says the couple are likable and well-respected, saying "They go together like ham and eggs."  Sharp had Napravnik ride a horse for him at Penn National Race Course in 2009, and they began dating a few months later,  becoming engaged in 2011.  Sharp, a horse trainer, was born in Martinsburg, West Virginia.  He is an only child and grew up around horses.  His father, Marc Sharp, is a trainer who also owns a horse farm near Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.  His mother, Sara Escudero, was an exercise rider. The pair divorced and Sharp split his time between them, growing up in Kentucky and West Virginia.

Sharp was a jockey from 2004 to 2005, riding mostly at Canterbury Park in Minnesota, but also in West Virginia and Maryland. Sharp was an assistant trainer to Michael Stidham for four years, and then for three years an assistant to Mike Maker, where he ran Maker's operations in New York, Kentucky and New Orleans. Napravnik and Sharp sometimes competed against each other when a horse Sharp trained was running against one Napravnik was riding, but the two were a trainer-rider team for Ramsey's three-year-old colt, Vicar's In Trouble, who won the Louisiana Derby and contested the 2014 Kentucky Derby.  In August 2014, Sharp left Maker's barn to begin an independent horse training stable, with the full support of both Maker and Napravnik. He scored his first graded stakes win on May 16, 2015 on the Preakness undercard with the Ramsey's horse Sandbar in the Grade III Maryland Sprint Handicap. In 2017, Sharp won the Louisiana Derby with Girvin, a colt who was Sharp's first starter in the 2017 Kentucky Derby.  Napravnik was the exercise rider for the colt at Sharp's training stable, and commented, "I thought about putting out something on Twitter . . . saying I was going to ride Girvin, as an April Fool’s joke, but I was worried people might take it seriously."

Of the couple's relationship, Sharp has stated, "Some guys might think being married to someone as famous as Rosie is a tough position, but I don't, I'm very proud of her."  Sharp and Napravnik split their time between homes in Louisville and New Orleans.  Besides working with horses, the pair also provide foster care to rescue dogs.

Career

Napravnik obtained her jockey license in 2005 at Pimlico Race Course. She won her first race as a licensed jockey on June 9 of that year, riding Small's horse, Ringofdiamonds.  She initially rode under the name "A.R. Napravnik" to conceal her gender.  In November 2005, she broke her left collarbone and was sidelined for almost six weeks. The horse in front of her fell and her horse was unable to avoid a collision, creating a four-horse chain reaction that sent Napravnik and one of the other riders to the hospital.  At the time of the accident, she was the leading jockey at Laurel Park Racecourse.

Napravnik established herself as a top-ranked jockey in 2006 when she finished 30th in national earnings and fifth in total wins with 300 victories on 1,465 mounts and purse winnings of $6,395,075. That year at Laurel Park, she won her first stakes race.  One of her highest profile wins was in a race that was on the undercard for the 2006 Preakness.  She won riding titles in 2006 at all four meets at the major Maryland tracks, one at the annual meet at Pimlico, and the other three at Laurel Park. Napravnik was runner-up to Julien Leparoux for the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Apprentice Jockey that year.

When a horse fell with her in a January 2007 race at Laurel Park, Napravnik suffered three compression fractures of her thoracic vertebrae and was out for several weeks to recuperate. In July, after recovering from the Laurel Park injuries, she had another fall that resulted in a major break to her wrist, subsequently repaired with a plate.  In spite of her injuries and layoff, she still rode 507 races with 89 winners in 2007.  In 2008, Napravnik was the most successful rider in Maryland with 101 wins. Riding a total of 893 races with 176 wins, she finished 62nd in earnings for the year, even though she broke her tibia and fibula in a racing accident at Delaware Park Racetrack in August, resulting in a three-month layoff. She moved to Aqueduct Racetrack in New York in November 2008, and in 2009 finished 38th in national earnings with 184 victories out of 1,109 mounts and with earnings of $5,176,563.

In 2010, Napravnik began riding at Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, Louisiana. Initially, she faced some of the most significant problems in her career with intimidation by the male jockeys, but overcame the challenge by refusing to give ground.  Eventually she earned the respect of her male colleagues, and that year, she won her first graded stakes race, the Grade III Cicada Stakes at Aqueduct.  By 2013 Napravnik was viewed as one of the most popular jockeys at the Fair Grounds. She finished the year with no major injuries and was ranked 30th in earnings.

Napravnik began 2011 with a win in the Louisiana Derby, riding Pants on Fire, becoming the first woman to win that race. When she was named the leading rider at that track in 2011, with 110 wins, she was also the first woman rider to win the title. She then became only the sixth woman to ride in the Kentucky Derby. riding Pants on Fire to a 9th place finish, the best placing for a woman rider in the history of the Derby to that date. She also was second in the 2011 Kentucky Oaks, riding a longshot filly named St. John's River.  In July of that year, Napravnik fractured her arm again when the horse she was riding broke down on the track and fell.  This time the fracture was just above the plate in her wrist that had repaired her first break, an injury that required a three-hour surgery and replacement of the wrist plate with a larger one.

In 2012 Napravnik became the first woman jockey to win the Kentucky Oaks, riding Believe You Can. The race was also her first Grade I win. She then rode in the Belmont Stakes for the first time, finishing fifth aboard Five Sixteen. Later that year, she won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile aboard Shanghai Bobby, becoming only the second woman jockey to win a Breeder's Cup race.  She received one minor injury in 2012: a non-displaced fracture of her toe, obtained when her horse hit the side of the starting gate at Saratoga.  She finished the race and returned to ride the next day. She ended the year ranked 8th in national earnings, winning $12,451,713, which surpassed the earnings and national placing record for a female jockey previously held by Julie Krone. As a result, sports analysts viewed her as the most successful woman jockey since Krone.

Early in 2013, Napravnik once again won the leading rider title at the Fair Grounds, making it three years in a row that she had won the award.  She had hopes of riding Shanghai Bobby, who was undefeated in five races, in the 2013 Kentucky Derby, but he suffered a pelvic fracture at the Florida Derby and missed the Triple Crown races. She was able to pick up another horse for the Derby, Mylute, with whom she broke her previous Kentucky Derby finish record, taking fifth. Napravnik rode in the Preakness Stakes for the first time in 2013, finishing third, again on Mylute. In doing so, she was only the third woman to ever ride in the Preakness, the first since 1994, and had the highest-placed finish for any woman jockey in that race.  Adding the Preakness to her 2011 Kentucky Derby and 2012 Belmont races, she also became the first woman ever to have ridden in all three Triple Crown races.  She then rode the filly Unlimited Budget to a 6th place finish in the 2013 Belmont, becoming the first woman to ride all three Triple Crown races in the same year. Napravnik also broke a record previously held by Donna Barton Brothers when she rode 45 winners at Churchill Downs' spring meet.

That summer, Napravnik also was named captain of the three member "Girls' Team" for the Shergar Cup jockey competition at Ascot Racecourse in the United Kingdom where she was the leading female rider of the team.  In October, she became the first woman to win the leading rider title at Keeneland Race Course.  She rode the two-year-old filly Untapable to a win in the Pocahontas Stakes, and then competed in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, but finished eighth, having to check the filly to avoid another horse that fell during the race. She finished the year eighth in earnings at $13,242,202, breaking her own record from 2012, and was fifth in total wins.

She began 2014 being named the leading rider at the Fair Grounds Race Course for the fourth consecutive year. She won the 2014 Lecomte Stakes and the Louisiana Derby on the three-year-old colt Vicar's In Trouble, trained by Sharp while he was an assistant to Maker, and owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey. Of Napravnik's ride in the Louisiana Derby, veteran hall of fame jockey Mike Smith, who rode the favorite but finished second, said, "She rode a great race. A brilliant race actually." Napravnik also teamed up again with Untapable, now a three-year-old, first winning the Rachel Alexandra Stakes and the Fair Grounds Oaks, and then to the jockey's second victory in the Kentucky Oaks, winning the 2014 race by 4-1/2 lengths. Prior to the Oaks, Napravnik told reporters, "I own this race."  Napravnik's win on Untapable and a victory in the Humana Distaff Handicap, on the undercard on Derby day, brought her ranking up to second in the nation for jockey earnings and wins during the early weeks of May 2014.  With mounts on  Vicar's In Trouble in the Derby, Bayern in the 2014 Preakness Stakes, and General a Rod in the Belmont, for the second year in a row, she rode horses in all three Triple Crown races.  She was in contention for leading jockey at Churchill Downs' spring meet, in second place with 31 winners, including a single day where she won five races, setting yet another record for a woman rider. But on June 15, the day after she had a major win on Tapiture, she had another significant injury: a separation of her clavicle and left shoulder joint that occurred when a horse she was working in the morning broke its leg and fell.  While Napravnik did not require surgery, she was sidelined for a few weeks.  Even though she missed the end of the Churchill meet, she still tied for second place in leading rider standings at that track. By July 5 she was working horses.  She returned to racing on July 18 for the opening day of the Saratoga meet. In October, she repeated as leading rider at Keenland's fall meet.

After her win in the 2014 Breeders' Cup Distaff aboard Untapable, Napravnik announced that she was seven weeks pregnant and announced a "retirement" from race riding.  When asked if her retirement was "permanent", she replied, "It's indefinite—I mean, I'm not thinking about a comeback in 10 months, but I can't promise to stay off a horse forever."  She further explained that she intended to assist Sharp with his training business and intended to remain "very much involved with racing." At the time of her announcement, she ranked sixth in the nation for 2014 in earnings and fifth by number of wins. In spite of losing time due to injury and retiring with two months left in the year, Napravnik closed out 2014 seventh in the nation for earnings, bringing her lifetime total to $71,396,717.

Following her retirement announcement, Napravnik became Sharp's assistant trainer, continuing to ride regularly.  After initially exercising the stable's race horses in the early months of her pregnancy, she moved over to ponying and other activities.  , she and Sharp hoped to have two children fairly close together, and after that, Napravnik has not ruled out a return to race riding but has not made any firm decisions. As she explained in February 2015, "I'm satisfied with the accomplishments that I've made. If I feel like I really want to come back in a few years then I can do it. The greatest thing is I don't have to."

On being a woman jockey

Napravnik's success has come in a sport where only 10% of all jockeys are women, even though they have been licensed as jockeys in pari-mutuel races since 1969. She initially was uncomfortable finding herself viewed as a role model for girls, preferring to simply be noticed as a top jockey. She became aware that she could have a positive impact on others and that helped her be more comfortable with her prominence.  She still prefers to emphasize her riding prowess, she broke the total wins and earnings record for a woman jockey previously held by Julie Krone,  and stated in 2014, "If you show your work ethic and professionalism and obvious skill and ability, that is what is going to win somebody over."

Like many other women jockeys, she views the primary challenge to be the difficulty of horse racing itself.  She describes races as "every man for himself (sic)." She does not ask for any breaks from male jockeys, and has explained that horse racing is a sport where women simply have to be just as good as men.  She speaks well of other successful women jockeys, and expresses a lot of respect in particular for Julie Krone, to whom she is often compared. But she also said in a 2011 interview, "a lot of young female riders are just girls who love horses, but they just don't have the strength and toughness, and they're not cut out to be jockeys. You've got to deliver the goods to get over that hump."

She acknowledges the struggles for equality that women riders in earlier generations had to face were greater than her own, but notes that women jockeys still "fight a battle." In her early career, she simply tried to "blend in" with the male riders, but nonetheless encountered some owners and trainers who refused to hire a female jockey. She later said, "I was very conscious when I raced against their horses—and when I beat them." Napravnik has encountered harassment from male jockeys on the track when other riders would deliberately bump her or pen in her horse from all sides.  In a 2013 interview with 60 Minutes, Napravnik said that she has heard hecklers at the track yell at her to "go home and have a baby," or "go home and stay in the kitchen."  She repeatedly has chosen to make her mark on the track instead of getting into post-race fights.  Trainer Larry Jones, having witnessed other jockeys deliberately bumping into her on the track, commented,  "Don't do Rosie that way, because she will run over you. The girl has no fear."

She summed up her views in a 2014 interview for Elle, stating, "We are beyond the days of being boycotted. We are beyond the days before Civil Rights. So it has to do with the woman. It has to do with the individual and being able to compete as smart, as sharp as any man."

The National Canal Museum is the Signature Program of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, located in Easton, Pennsylvania.

After a three-year transition during which the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor operated the canal museum under a management agreement, the two merged. The D&L is now responsible for the National Canal Museum, Hugh Moore Park, the Emrick Technology Center, the Locktender's House Museum and the canal boat, Josiah White II.

Officially known as Hugh Moore Historical Park & Museums, the National Canal Museum is located in Easton's Hugh Moore Park.

History
The National Canal Museum opened in 1970 as a joint cooperative effort between the City of Easton's Hugh Moore Park Commission and the Pennsylvania Canal Society.  Sitting at the fork between the Delaware and Lehigh Rivers, the museum was intended to highlight and operate within Hugh Moore Park.

The Josiah White, a functioning replica canal boat, debuted in 1978. Canal boat rides became a significant attraction for museum and park visitors.

In 1982, the museum's exhibits were redesigned. New exhibits highlighted the broader history of the towpath canal era and the industrial heritage of the Lehigh Valley.

During this period, the National Canal Museum began hosting several major events, including the annual Canal Festival and annual Canal History and Technology Symposium, the latter being held at Lafayette College.  By 1985, the museum was realizing the ability for a complete collection and archival ability of important artifacts of both the canal era and the Industrial Revolution.

In 1996, the National Canal Museum moved to Two Rivers Landing in an effort to revitalize Easton’s downtown district. Today, Two Rivers Landing receives an average of 250,000 visitors each year.  Beginning in 2002, the museum began a campaign to add hands-on activities to the existing exhibits.  A proposal to the National Science Foundation(NSF) resulted in a grant of $1.4 million, later increased to $2 million, for the creation of exhibits based on the “science and technology of canals and inland waterways."

A new exhibit space was installed in March 2006, focusing on the history, science, and technology of canal construction and navigation.

In 2011, the museum’s 15-year lease period in Two Rivers Landing ended and was not renewed.  On January 1, 2012, the museum was relocated, returning to Hugh Moore Park. The Emrick Technology Center was repurposed to act as the main exhibit and administrative space during the Crayola Factory shutdown.

In 2013, the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor began operating the National Canal Museum under a management agreement during the first Crayola Experience opening. This marked the beginning of a three-year transition in which the two organizations would merge. The transition allowed the D&L to integrate the management, finance, marketing, and development functions of the two organizations. The transition period ended in 2017. The museum, along with the other operations of Hugh Moore Historical Park & Museums, is now the Signature Program of the D&L.

Collections
The museum's collections reflect the material culture and document the history of America's canals and navigable rivers, as well as canal-related industries in the Lehigh Valley. The museum's holdings include 3,753 artifacts; 3,890 reels of film, video cassettes and oral history audio tapes; 52,782 slides, photographs and negative images; 31,824 engineering drawings; a library of more than 13,483 volumes; 736 linear feet of manuscript materials; and 261 rolls of microfilm. Among the museum's archival holdings are rare film footage of canal life, historic photographs, canal maps, captain's logs, a complete set of the Army Corps of Engineers' annual reports to Congress, and engineering plans for 15 towpath canals east of the Mississippi River.

The museum is responsible for maintaining and interpreting the historic structures and sites within the 260 acres that comprise Hugh Moore Park, a National Register Historic District. These include Section 8 of the Lehigh Canal and its three operating locks, a locktender's house, ruins from three 19th century industrial areas, and the remains of the Change Bridge, one of the first iron cable suspension bridges constructed in America.

Accreditations and affiliations
The National Canal Museum is accredited by American Alliance of Museums and is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution.

Hugh Moore Park
Hugh Moore Park is a City of Easton park between the Lehigh River and the Lehigh Canal.  It covers , including part of the Lehigh River and section 8 of the Lehigh Canal.  The area now known as Hugh Moore Park was originally an industrial park, built due to the large amount of anthracite coal being brought down the Lehigh Canal from present day Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

The park was purchased by the City of Easton in 1962, using money donated by Hugh Moore.  This led to the formation of the Pennsylvania Canal Society in 1966 and the eventual creation of the National Canal Museum.  Improvements to the park and its facilities have continually enhanced its visitor experience.
These improvements include a biking and hiking trail, a boat launch, and pavilions. Additionally, the park has aided in the preservation of industrial ruins, including three locks, one of which is the only functioning lift lock in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, which has merged with The National Canal Museum, is responsible for maintaining and interpreting the historic structures and sites within the  that comprise Hugh Moore Park, a National Register Historic District. These include Section 8 of the Lehigh Canal and its three operating locks, a locktender's house, ruins from three 19th-century industrial areas, and the Change Bridge, one of the first iron cable suspension bridges constructed in America.

The Emrick Center
The Elaine and Peter Emrick Technology Center is a , two-story brick building constructed to resemble a factory, the likes of which would have been seen throughout the park in the industrial era. The building holds a reception area, exhibit spaces, offices, and the Hugh Moore Park and Museums Archives.

The building opened in 2007.  The inaugural exhibit, "From this Valley: Iron, Steel and the Birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution," tells the story of the Lehigh Valley's critical role in the Industrial Revolution. In 2012, the National Canal Museum relocated from Two Rivers Landing to the Emrick Center, and transferred most of the exhibits and hands-on educational activity stations there. The relocated Museum, which is adjacent to the mule-drawn canal boat, the Josiah White II, opened on Memorial Day weekend, 2012. It came under operation of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor in 2013, completing its merger in 2017.

Archives
Also currently held in the Emrick Technology Center is the archives of the National Canal Museum.  Since the inception of the institution and through all of its incarnations, and beginning with the first master plan, there have been provisions for the National Canal Museum to preserve the transportation and industrial history of the area.  Since the acquisition of property for this purpose in 1985, the collection has undergone rapid growth, and is now the premier site for information concerning the technology of the Lehigh Valley and canal transportation in America.

The museum's collection reflects these areas, and document the history of America's canals and navigable rives, as well as the related industries in the Lehigh Valley. According to the museum website:
"The museum's holdings include: 3,753 artifacts; 3,890 reels of film, video cassettes [sic.], and audio (oral history) tapes; 52,782 slides, photographs and negative images; 31,824 engineering drawings; a library of more than 13,483 volumes; 736 linear feet of manuscript materials; and 261 rolls of microfilm."

In addition to a large amount of historical artifacts and data, the museum also employs an in-house historian, available for lectures, researchers, and inquiries.

Locktender's House

The Locktender's House is a restored locktender's house nestled between the Lehigh River and Guard Lock 8 on the Lehigh Canal. A museum is located on its first floor. The Locktender's House displays the living and working conditions of people in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Locktender's House was built for the person with the responsibility of operating the lock.  In order to ensure that lock was operated, the house was constructed as near to the lock as possible, so there was no reason for someone in the house to be unable to come out and operate the lock.

Opened in 1974, the museum is meant to provide a rough equivalent of what working on the canal would entail.  Costumed guides provide background and information during a tour of the rooms of the house.

Josiah White II
The Josiah White II is the current boat used for the Canal Boat ride.  It is a steel-hulled boat built in 1993 by Bethlehem Steel at the Sparrows Point shipyard in Maryland.

The original canal boat, named the Josiah White, served operationally during the summer from 1978 until 1993, when it was allowed to sink near the feeder gate for the canal.  It currently serves as a visual aid for the canal boat ride.

The canal boat ride was developed to provide visitors with context and historical information, including information about building, living, and working on the canal.  Pulled by two mules, named Hank and George, the ride intends to recreate the experience of moving down the canal during its operational period.  Average rides are 40 minutes long, and discuss a multitude of topics, including mules, mule tending, and the history of the canal.

Caesar Carl Wilhelm Hans Henkel (1837 Fulda, Hesse - 16 June 1913 Umtata), was a German-born South African forester, cartographer, painter, soldier and botanist. He was the father of John Spurgeon Henkel.

Henkel came from an old and distinguished German military family. He enlisted as an officer in the British-German Legion during the Crimean War. The war having ended before the British-German Legion saw any action, Henkel settled in the Eastern Cape in 1856, where he acted as secretary to the commanding officer Baron Richard von Stutterheim (1809-1872) and played a major role in settling German immigrants in the King William's Town area.

Returning from service in the Indian Mutiny, Henkel filled various administrative posts in the Eastern Cape between 1860-75. He proved to be an extremely competent cartographer in the office of the surveyor-general between 1876–83; his map of the Transkei then regarded as the definitive work. Thereafter he worked as forester in the districts of Stockenstrom and King William's Town. He was finally appointed chief forest officer and stationed at Umtata and was responsible for the conservation of indigenous forests and for the development of commercial forestry in the Transkei. His pioneering work in these fields greatly influenced the course taken by forestry practice in South Africa. Henkel inaugurated a policy of establishing exotic wattle plantations throughout the Transkei in order to reduce exploitation of the indigenous forests.

On his retirement, he became a town councillor of Umtata and started importing useful and rare trees and shrubs which he planted on his estate, "The Pines", outside Umtata. Here he also started the first fish hatchery of the country. His name is commemorated in Podocarpus henkelii. Some of his paintings are kept at the East London Museum, the Africana Museum in Johannesburg and the History Museum in Grahamstown.

Cerro Pedernal, locally known as just "Pedernal", is a narrow mesa in northern New Mexico. The name is Spanish for "flint hill". The mesa lies on the north flank of the Jemez Mountains, south of Abiquiu Lake, in the Coyote Ranger District of the Santa Fe National Forest. Its caprock was produced in the Jemez Volcanic Field. Its highest point is at .

Pedernal is the source of a chert used by the prehistoric Gallina people. Its cliffs are popular with rock climbers.  Georgia O'Keeffe made many paintings of it, and her ashes were scattered on its top.

Pierre Philippeaux, (9 November 1754 – 5 April 1794, Paris) was a French lawyer who was a deputy to the National Convention for Sarthe.

Life
A lawyer then judge at the district tribunal for Le Mans, he created the newspaper Le défenseur de la Liberté at the start of the French Revolution.  He voted for the king's death and was sent on a mission to the Vendée where he was noted for his negligence.  On his return to Paris he denounced generals Ronsin and Rossignol in a virulent pamphlet.
He attracted the hostility of Collot d'Herbois and Carrier and found himself accused of treason and counter-revolutionary activities by Saint-Just.  Associated with the Dantonists, he fell with them and was guillotined on 5 April 1794.
