Henrietta Mary Ada Ward ( Ward; 1 June 1832 – 12 July 1924) was a British historical and genre painter of the Victorian era and the early twentieth century.

Life and work

Ward belonged to a family that produced professional artists over several generations. Her paternal grandfather was the prominent animal painter James Ward, who was related by marriage to fellow artists John Jackson and George Morland. Her parents were also artists: George Raphael Ward was best known for his printmaking, Mary Webb Ward for her miniatures. (One of her mother's pictures was Portrait of Henrietta Ward and her Favorite Guinea Pig, 1843.) An only child, the young Henrietta grew up surrounded by and familiar with her parents' artist acquaintances, including Sir Edwin Landseer, C. R. Leslie, and the brothers John James and Alfred Edward Chalon. She studied her craft at the Bloomsbury Art School and the academy started by Henry Sass.

In 1843, when she was 11 years old, Henrietta fell in love with the 27-year-old historical painter Edward Matthew Ward (no relation); they married secretly in May 1848, aided by the groom's friend Wilkie Collins — so that her maiden and married names were the same. (Traditional sources occasionally refer to her as "Henrietta Mary Ada Ward Ward.") Henrietta's mother never forgave the elopement, and disinherited her.

(Collins may have based the plot of his 1852 novel Basil on the Ward engagement. In turn, Henrietta claimed to have given Collins the idea for The Woman in White.)

Edward and Henrietta Ward had eight children, one of whom would be Leslie Ward, the caricaturist and cartoonist known as "Spy." While raising her brood, Henrietta pursued her own artistic career; she worked in various genres, though she, like her husband, was noted for her historical pictures, on subjects like Thomas Chatterton and Elizabeth Fry. She was also noted for her pictures of children; she used her own children as models for her paintings.

One of her most famous paintings was Palissy the Potter, displayed at the Royal Academy in 1866; it illustrates the incident in which Bernard Palissy accidentally blew up his house while experimenting on ceramic techniques. This and similar works (like Queen Mary quitting Stirling Castle; RA 1863 and Scene from the childhood of Joan of Arc; RA 1867) made her perhaps the most prominent female history painter of her generation. She gave art lessons to several of the royal children of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

Both Henrietta Ward and her husband were supporters of the cause of women's suffrage. The Wards traveled in an artistic circle that included figures like Charles Dickens and George Cruikshank. In one account, Dickens and Cruikshank nearly brawled when the teetotaler Cruikshank prevented Henrietta Ward from drinking a glass of sherry at a Dickens party.

She outlived her husband by forty-five years. After his 1879 death, the widow started her own art school to help support her family; like her contemporary Louise Jopling, Henrietta Ward specialized in training young women artists. She also received a pension of £100 for her previous service as a royal teacher. Ward exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.

Ward published two autobiographical memoirs, Mrs. E. M. Ward’s Reminiscences in 1911 and Memories of Ninety Years, in the year of her death. Her first book has been called "one of the best accounts of the life of a Victorian lady artist."

Marilyn Jaye Lewis (born July 22, 1960 in Columbus, Ohio) is an American writer and editor of novels, short stories, memoirs, screenplays and teleplays. Lewis grew up in Cleveland, Ohio in the 1960s. Lewis began writing during her preteen years. She spent her high school years in Columbus before moving to New York City in 1980.  She initially focused her creative energies mainly on singing and songwriting, before beginning to write more fiction in the 1980s. Lewis studied recording and audio engineering in New York. She worked there as a singer-songwriter under the name Marilyn Jaye, and later under her married name, Marilyn Jaye Lewis, until 1994. During those years, Lewis performed at such iconic New York clubs as SpeakEasy, Folk City and CBGB. Lewis was included twice in Fast Folk Musical Magazine, Jack Hardy's music magazine, recorded on vinyl. Those recordings are now in the Smithsonian Collection and available on Smithsonian Folkways. Lewis appeared on Volume 1, No. 6 with her song "Breaking Glass." Her song "One Thing Leads to Another" was included in Volume 1, No. 10.

By the mid-1990s her work consisted of writing fiction exclusively. A hallmark of Lewis's work has been her willingness to confront the issues of racism, prejudice and bigotry. This theme can be seen throughout her career, from the young interracial couple in Neptune and Surf, to the Puerto Rican characters in Freak Parade, the gay men and lesbians in 1920s Hollywood in Twilight of the Immortal, and right through to the incredibly talented African American artist Helen LaFrance who is so lovingly documented in Tell My Bones. Always growing as a writer, Lewis expanded her repertoire to screenplays and teleplays in 2012 with Tell My Bones. After making it to the second round of the Austin Film Festival in 2012, Tell My Bones won the Ohio Independent Screenplay Award in the Best Voice of Color category in 2013. Also in 2013, Lewis wrote a TV pilot called Cleveland's Burning which was a semi-finalist in the Industry Insider Television Writing Contest. The program is a family drama following an African American family in Cleveland as they react to the turmoil of the 1960s.

SMS  was a light cruiser of the  built by the German  (Imperial Navy). She had one sister ship, . The ship was built by the AG Weser shipyard in Bremen, laid down in 1912, launched in April 1914, and commissioned into the High Seas Fleet in January 1915. She was named for the German town of Regensburg. The ship was armed with a main battery of twelve 10.5 cm SK L/45 guns and had a top speed of , though in 1917 she was rearmed with seven 15 cm SK L/45 guns.

 served in the reconnaissance forces of the High Seas Fleet during World War I. She saw significant action at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May – 1 June 1916, where she served as the leader of the torpedo boat flotillas that screened for the I Scouting Group battlecruisers. After the end of the war, she was ceded to France in 1920 and renamed . In 1928 she took part in the Arctic rescue operations searching for the Airship Italia. Removed from service in 1936, she was used as a barracks ship in Lorient until 1944, when she was seized by the Germans and scuttled in the harbor to protect the U-boat pens there.

Design

 was  long overall and had a beam of  and a draft of  forward. She displaced  at full load. Her propulsion system consisted of two sets of Marine steam turbines driving two  propellers. They were designed to give . These were powered by ten coal-fired Marine-type water-tube boilers and two oil-fired double-ended boilers. These gave the ship a top speed of .  carried  of coal, and an additional  of oil that gave her a range of approximately  at . She had a crew of 21 officers and 364 enlisted men.

The ship was armed with twelve  SK L/45 guns in single pedestal mounts. Two were placed side by side forward on the forecastle, eight were located amidships, four on either side, and two in a superfiring pair aft. The guns had a maximum elevation of 30 degrees, which allowed them to engage targets out to . These were later replaced with seven  SK L/45 guns and two  SK L/45 anti-aircraft guns. She was also equipped with a pair of  torpedo tubes with five torpedoes submerged in the hull on the broadside. Four deck-mounted launchers were added when the gun armament was upgraded, and the submerged tubes were removed. She could also carry 120 mines. The ship was protected by a waterline armored belt that was  thick amidships. The conning tower had  thick sides, and the armor deck consisted of up to 60 mm thick armor plate.

Service history
 was ordered under the contract name " " and was laid down at the AG Weser shipyard in Bremen in 1912 and was launched on 25 April 1914; the mayor of Regensburg, Hofrat Josef Bleyer, christened the ship. She was commissioned into the High Seas Fleet on 3 January 1915.  completed her trials on 10 March 1915, and was then assigned to the II Scouting Group. Eleven days later, she bombarded Russian positions near Polangen and Papensee; the operation lasted until the 24th. Captain Hans Zenker proposed that  and the liner —which was to be armed with 15 cm guns—should be sent out into the Atlantic to replace the commerce raiding cruisers that had been destroyed in the early months of the war. The fleet commander, Admiral Friedrich von Ingenohl, argued the ships would eventually be sunk as well, and that any possible successes for the raiders would not equal the loss of a modern light cruiser or a large passenger liner. The suggested plan was therefore abandoned.

On 17–18 May,  took part in a mine-laying operation in the area of the Dogger Bank. On 25 August, she went into the Baltic to bombard Russian positions again, this time on the island of Dagö, including the lighthouse in St. Andreasberg and the signal station on Cap Ristna. On 11–12 May,  participated in another mine-laying operation, this time off Texel. In September, she took part in anti-shipping sweeps in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat. In early 1916, she continued supporting mine-laying operations and reconnaissance sweeps into the North Sea. On 23–24 April, she participated in the bombardment of Yarmouth and Lowestoft, conducted by the battlecruisers of Rear Admiral Franz von Hipper's I Scouting Group.

Battle of Jutland

In May 1916, Admiral Reinhard Scheer, the fleet commander, planned to lure a portion of the British fleet away from its bases and destroy it with the entire High Seas Fleet. For the planned operation, , commanded by Commodore Paul Heinrich, was assigned to serve as the leader of the torpedo boat flotillas that screened for the battlecruisers of the I Scouting Group. The squadron left the Jade roadstead at 02:00 on 31 May, bound for the waters of the Skagerrak. The main body of the fleet followed an hour and a half later. At around 15:30, the cruiser screens of the I Scouting Group and the British 1st Battlecruiser Squadron engaged;  was on the disengaged side of the German formation, but steamed to reach the head of the line of battle. As she was moving into position, the opposing battlecruisers opened fire;  was some  from the German battlecruisers, still on the disengaged side. Her crew noted that the British shells were falling well over their targets, which placed  in greater danger than the battlecruisers at which the British were aiming. By 17:10,  had reached the head of the line, and the battlecruiser  fired several salvos at her, mistaking her for a battlecruiser.

As the battlecruiser squadrons closed on each other,  ordered the torpedo boats to make a general attack on the British formation. The British had similarly ordered an attack with their destroyers, which led to a hard-fought battle at close range between the opposing destroyer forces, supported by light cruisers and the battlecruisers' secondary guns. Shortly after 19:00,  led an attack with several torpedo boats on the cruiser  and four destroyers. She disabled the destroyer  and then shifted fire to Canterbury, which turned away into the mist. By 20:15, the British and German main fleets had engaged, and Scheer sought a withdrawal; he therefore ordered the I Scouting Group to charge the British line while the rest of the fleet turned away. This was in turn covered by a massed torpedo boat attack, which forced the British to turn away as well.  and her torpedo boats were ordered to join the attack, but the I Scouting Group had passed in front of his ships, and he realized the British had turned away, which put them out of range of his torpedoes.

Having successfully disengaged, Scheer ordered  to organize three torpedo boat flotillas to make attacks on the British fleet during the night. At 21:10, Heinrich dispatched the II Flotilla and XII Half-Flotilla from the rear of the German line to attack the British formation. In the night, the High Seas Fleet successfully passed behind the British fleet and reached Horns Reef by 04:00 on 1 June. At 09:45,  and three torpedo boats turned around to rendezvous with the torpedo boats carrying the crew of the scuttled battlecruiser . In the course of the battle, ' had fired 372 rounds of 10.5 cm ammunition and emerged completely unscathed.

Subsequent operations
By 1917,  had been assigned to the IV Scouting Group, along with  and . In late October 1917, the IV Scouting Group steamed to Pillau, arriving on the 30th. They were tasked with replacing the heavy units of the fleet that had just completed Operation Albion, the conquest of the islands in the Gulf of Riga, along with the battleships of the I Battle Squadron. The risk of mines that had come loose in a recent storm, however, prompted the naval command to cancel the mission, and  and the rest of the IV Scouting Group was ordered to return to the North Sea on 31 October.

By October 1918,  was serving as the flagship of Commodore Johannes von Karpf, commander of the IV Scouting Group. The unit was to participate in a final, climactic attack by the High Seas Fleet. Admirals Scheer and Hipper intended to inflict as much damage as possible on the British navy, in order to secure a better bargaining position for Germany, whatever the cost to the fleet. On the morning of 27 October, days before the operation was scheduled to begin, Karpf ordered s crew to take on a full load of coal and oil. One division of sailors refused to work and a watch from the engine room personnel changed into their shore-going uniforms and refused to work as well. The ship's First Lieutenant arrested the ringleader of the strike, after which the crew returned to work. On the morning of 29 October 1918, the order was given to sail from Wilhelmshaven the following day. Starting on the night of 29 October, sailors on the battleship  and then on several other battleships mutinied. The unrest ultimately forced Hipper and Scheer to cancel the operation.

As the mutinies spread,  was sent to Swinemünde, arriving on 7 November. That night, false reports of torpedo boats crewed by Communist revolutionaries had sailed to attack his ships reached Karpf. He ordered his ships to be laid up; the confidential materials carried aboard were destroyed and their ammunition magazines were flooded. When the fleet command learned of the incident, they replaced Karpf with Commodore Rohardt, who set about restoring the ships to seagoing condition. During this process, the IV Scouting Group moved to Stettin. The abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II on 9 November, however, which indicated to Rohardt that his ships could no longer fly the Imperial ensign. He therefore placed  and  out of commission. A new officer arrived in Stettin to serve as s commander, but he had few officers and no crew. In December 1918,  escorted the British battleship , which was carrying the Allied Armistice Commission, to Kiel.

French service

 served in the newly reorganized  after the end of the war, through 1919. She was stricken from the naval register on 10 March 1920 and placed out of service. On 4 June 1920, the ship was surrendered to the Allies in the port of Cherbourg, France and transferred under the name "J" to the French Navy. She was renamed  and served with the French fleet. After arriving in France in 1920, she received a new battery of French  anti-aircraft guns in place of her 8.8 cm guns. The rear superfiring 15 cm gun was removed and the 75 mm guns were installed where the 15 cm gun had been. She was commissioned into the French fleet in 1922.

She was initially home-ported in Brest, until she was transferred to Toulon in 1923, where she remained for the next three years. Here, she served with the other ex-German cruisers  and  and the ex-Austro-Hungarian  in the 3rd Light Division (which was renamed the 2nd Light division in December 1926). In 1925, she underwent a major overhaul, after which she made  on speed trials.  participated in the Rif War in the mid-1920s; on 7 September 1925, she and the battleship  and the cruiser  supported a landing of French troops in North Africa. The three ships provided heavy gunfire support to the landing troops. In early 1928, a major earthquake struck Corinth, Greece;  was among the vessels sent to aid in the relief effort. The international effort provided assistance to 15,000 people.

Also in 1928, she assisted in the search effort for the wrecked airship , which had crashed on the polar ice northeast of Svalbard. In addition, Roald Amundsen, who had also joined the search effort, went missing himself.  arrived in Tromsø, Norway, on 19 June, to search for both  and Amundsen's aircraft. The ship's bow was not designed to operate in an Arctic environment, and so the crew had to continually fix wood planks to the hull to protect it from the ice. While refueling from the tanker ,  took on two FBA 17 seaplanes to assist in the search effort. On 30 August,  located one of the floats from Amundsen's aircraft, confirming the loss of the plane. The search effort was called off on 17 September, and  returned to Brest by way of Reykjavík, arriving back in France by mid October.

She remained in service until 14 June 1936, when she was placed in reserve. Her name was reused for the new battleship , so the old cruiser was renamed  II on early 1934 and in November she was transferred to Landévennec. On 15 January 1936, she was moved to Lorient and used as a depot ship for the 6th Destroyer Division, thereafter being stricken from the naval register in June. After the Germans invaded France in 1940, they seized the ship and briefly considered restoring her to active service. Instead, the project was abandoned and the cruiser was subsequently used as a barracks ship in Lorient. She was moored next to the U-boat pens and rigged with barrage balloons and anti-torpedo nets to strengthen the defenses of the area. In 1944, she was scuttled in the harbor to protect the pens from torpedo attack. Her wreck remains in the harbor, and is visible at low tide.

USS Wahkiakum County (LST-1162), previously USS LST-1162, was a United States Navy landing ship tank (LST) in commission from 1953 to 1970, and which then saw non-commissioned Military Sealift Command service as USNS Wahkiakum County (T-LST-1162) from 1972 to 1973.

Construction and commissioning

Wahkiakum County was laid down as USS LST-1162 on 21 July 1952 at Pascagoula, Mississippi by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation. She was launched on 23 January 1953, sponsored by Mrs. Wilbur G. Dees, and commissioned on 13 August 1953.

Atlantic and Caribbean operations, 1953-1960

Following shakedown in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, LST-1162 operated out of the United States Atlantic Fleet's Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, Virginia Beach, Virginia, for the remainder of 1953, conducting local operations out of Little Creek and off the coast of Florida. In 1954, LST-1162 participated in Atlantic Fleet amphibious maneuvers "NprAmEx" and "LantFlex" and conducted operations with the Operational Development Force out of Key West, Florida, testing antisubmarine warfare gear. Later during 1954, LST-1162 visited Havana, Cuba, with embarked naval reservists. During March 1955, LST-1162 operated off Bloodsworth Island, conducting gunfire tests and serving as range safety vessel at the Navy's gunnery practice areas there.

On 1 July 1955, USS LST-1162 was named USS Wahkiakum County (LST-1162). For the next five years, Wahkiakum County pursued a regular schedule of operations off the United States East Coast and into the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. She was deployed in the Mediterranean Sea in 1958 and 1959, both from January through June. Operating with the Atlantic Fleet's amphibious force, she served alternatively as a helicopter carrier -— a harbinger of the roles which other ships of her type would perform during the Vietnam War; a shore bombardment safety vessel; an afloat gunnery training ship; and a transport for Navy construction battalions (CB's or "Seabees") and their equipment.

Atlantic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean operations, 1960-1965

At the end of this period, she deployed to the Mediterranean Sea and operated with the 6th Fleet from May to December 1960. She carried cargo and troops and participated in amphibious exercises with naval units of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries in the Mediterranean.

Wahkiakum County underwent a major overhaul at Newport News, Virginia, in 1961, before she resumed active operations with a three-month Caribbean deployment.

Transferred to Amphibious Squadron (PhibRon) 12 on 1 July 1961, Wahkiakum County participated in several amphibious landing exercises and contingency operations over the remainder of the year. During July and September 1961, she transported United States Naval Academy midshipmen from Annapolis, Maryland, to Little Creek, Virginia, for annual summer training and began a three-month Caribbean deployment in September 1961.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis in the autumn of 1962, Wahkiakum County embarked the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, and operated in support of the blockade of Cuba from 24 October 1962 to 7 December 1962. She deployed to the  Mediterranean in the spring of 1963, operating with the 6th Fleet Amphibious Task Force, and again to the Caribbean during the spring of 1964.

Intervention in the Dominican Republic, 1965

On 24 April 1965, supporters of the ousted Dominican Republic President Juan Bosch launched a coup d'etat in Santo Domingo, which soon degenerated into a civil war, with loyalists battling a rebel group backed by armed civilians. As the fighting threatened Americans there, the United States sent U.S. Marines to protect and evacuate Americans. When it appeared that the revolt had been taken over by Fidel Castro's Cubans, the United States intervened with more men —- paratroops of the 82nd Airborne Division and Marines. During the period from 9 May 1965 to 17 May 1965, Wahkiakum County operated in support of this evacuation and intervention operation.

Mediterranean and Caribbean operations, 1965-1970

For the remainder of the 1960s and into 1970, Wahkiakum County operated on regular deployments to the Caribbean and Mediterranean.

Decommissioning and disposal

Decommissioned at the Inactive Ship Facility, Orange, Texas, on 16 October 1970, Wahkiakum County was transferred to the Military Sealift Command (MSC) at Brooklyn, New York on 10 April 1972. Reclassified as a United States Naval Ship (USNS) -- indicating non-commissioned U.S. Navy service with a largely civilian crew—and as T-LST-1162, the now-USNS Wahkiakum County operated with MSC as a cargo ship until struck from the Navy List in 1973; sources disagree on the date on which she was struck, claiming it was either on 11 January 1973 or on 11 November 1973. She was then laid up.

Wahkiakum County was transferred to the Maritime Administration on 29 July 1992, for lay up in the National Defense Reserve Fleet, Suisun Bay, Benicia, California. She was sold for scrapping on 22 June 2005 to ESCO Marine, Brownsville, Texas, and removed from the Suisun Bay National Defense Reserve Fleet on 24 August 2005. She was subsequently scrapped.

Oh, My God! is the debut album by the rapper Doug E. Fresh. It was released in 1986 on Reality Records, a short-lived subsidiary of Fantasy Records. The album was produced by Dennis Bell and Ollie Cotton. The album was only a moderate success, peaking at #21 on the Top R&B Albums chart. To date, it has not been released on compact disc.

Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "Fresh runs a moderate course, with a bit of reggae toasting, polite tracks and very little attitude." The Washington Post thought that "the sound concocted by DJs Chill Will and Barry Bee is a somewhat murky sonic collage built on rolling reggae rhythms."

Koti Residency or British Residency or "Hyderabad Residency" is an opulent mansion built by James Achilles Kirkpatrick in the princely state of Hyderabad. Kirkpatrick was British Resident of Hyderabad between 1798 and 1805. It is a minor tourist attraction located in the suburb of Koti, Hyderabad.

The building with its classical portico is in the style of a Palladian villa and is similar in design to its near-contemporary in the United States, the White House. It features in the 2002 William Dalrymple book White Mughals. The house was designed by Lieutenant Samuel Russell of the Madras Engineers and construction began in 1803.

History

Kirkpatrick built the mansion for himself and his Indian wife Khair un Nissa, who bore him two surviving children who were sent to England by the age of five and never saw them again due to the early deaths of their parents.

The building was once the embassy of the East India Company to the court of the Nizam of Hyderabad, and the residence of James Kirkpatrick, the British Resident, as well as his successors. Within its compound there were several quarters, including a zenana (women's quarters) where Khair un Nissa lived. Within the compound is a miniature model of the building- legend has it that this was so Kirkpatrick's wife, who remained in purdah, could see the entire mansion, including the front. This scaled model has recently been beautifully restored.

During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, a group of rebels, led by Maulvi Allauddin and Turrebaz Khan, attacked the residency. After the events of 1857, the British erected martello towers at the residency, which were demolished in 1954.

After independence in 1947, the building became vacant. In 1949 it was converted into a women's college, Osmania University College for Women.

After a court directive to the Archaeological Survey of India, it is now a protected monument. However, the building suffered much damage over the years and part of the ceiling had collapsed. It was placed on the 2002 World Monuments Watch list. Restoration works were completed in January 2023, the result of an effort spanning over 20 years.

In the year 2025, an elderly John Constantine has forsaken the world of magic.  The monarchy of the United Kingdom is sputtering out, and John's friend Dolly is being held captive on a reality TV show that revolves around the premise that she is the sole heir to the English throne.  Numerous interest groups of the pro- and anti-monarchy variety attempt to influence the show in the direction they favor.  After Dolly is rescued by Constantine, she reveals that he is the father of her unborn child.  Constantine is then faced with the decision of whether or not he wants his progeny crowned king of England.

Collected editions
A reprint of the entire series was collected under the Vertigo Resurrected line; the solicited release for this collection is June 2011. It was also collected in the Hellblazer Volume 26: The Curse of the Constantines trade paperback in March 2022.

Gordon Benjamin Favelle (1912–1987) was an Australian professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1930s. He played in the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL).

Early life
Birth records show "Gordon Benjamin Favell", born on 19 August 1912 in Beechworth, Victoria, Commonwealth of Australia. He was the son of butcher William John Favell (b. 1876 in Beeac, Victoria, Colony of New South Wales, d. 16 Jun 1949 in Bondi Junction) and his wife Bridget Hartney (b. about 1877 in County Kerry or County Limerick, Ireland), who arrived in Brisbane on 14 November 1899.

His paternal grandparents were James Favell, who had arrived in New South Wales on 3 June 1864 at the age of 25 from New Zealand, and Mary Ryan. His older sister Margaret Brereton Favell (b. 1907 in Beechworth, d. 13 September 1997) married James William Stent in 1943 in New South Wales.

Playing career
Originally a Christian Brothers Waverley student, Favelle played for Sydney University rugby league team between 1932 and 1934 and was Captain-Coach during 1933 NSWRFL season and 1934 NSWRFL season. His only representative match was for N.S.W. City Firsts in 1933.

Favelle also played for the Eastern Suburbs club in the 1935 NSWRFL season, the year the club won its fifth Premiership. He finished his career as captain-coach of Newcastle Easts and Kurri Kurri in the late 1930s.

He is recognized as Eastern Suburbs player No. 241.

Personal life
Gordon was one of the pallbearers at the funeral of rugby league footballer Ray Morris on 23 September 1933.

Recorded as Gordon Benjamin Patrick Favell, in 1939 he married Tita Frances Fortington (b. 25 June 1917, d. 19 January 1999 in Newcastle), daughter of Leslie Francis Fortington (1891–1950) and Eliza Isabel Watts (b. 1870).

They enjoyed living in the Newcastle metropolitan area. In 1963, Gordon and his wife were proprietors of a coffee lounge with their son Anthony Gordon Favell as assistant. Gordon Benjamin Favell is listed with the occupation of clerk on the Electoral Rolls when they lived in New Lambton in 1968. In the 1980s, they lived in Kotara South.

Like Omigod! The 80s Pop Culture Box (Totally) is a seven-disc, 142-track box set of popular music hits of the 1980s. Released by Rhino Records in 2002, the box set was based on the success of Have a Nice Decade: The 70s Pop Culture Box, Rhino's box set covering the 1970s. Original release sets had a 3D rubber cover. Later releases had a flat, printed cover.

Like Omigod! includes a 90-page booklet of cultural comment, a timeline for the decade, and liner notes for the tracks included in the set. As does Have a Nice Decade, the tracks tend to be from the lesser-known artists who were one-hit wonders, although music from the best-selling artists of the era are also included. In addition, many of the 1980s musical styles—rock, pop, country pop, new wave, funk, disco and rhythm and blues—are represented.

A majority of the tracks on the first 5½ discs focus on 1980–1985, while the remaining tracks cover the period of 1986–1989.

Mastering

This compilation was produced by David McLees, Bill Inglot and Gordon Skene, and like many CDs of the period, contains very loud and dynamically compressed mastering, so much to the point that many of the tracks pump from the extremely loud "brickwalling" effect that all the tracks have been processed through.

James Love (1721–1774) was the pseudonym of British poet, playwright and actor James Dance. He is best known for his poem Cricket: An Heroic Poem (1744).

Life and work
Son of George Dance the Elder, who worked as an architect and city surveyor, Love was himself a cricketer, being a member of Richmond Cricket Club. Richmond was a leading club in the 1740s and Love may have represented Surrey too. However, no details have survived of his playing career.

He was also likely the founder of the Theatre Royal in Richmond upon Thames, which he managed from 1766 to 1773.  In 1763, at Drury Lane in London, he played the role of Falstaff, for which he became best known as an actor, his authorial pseudonym serving also as his stage name. In 1766 he played his signature role in a new play, William Kenrick's Falstaff's Wedding, intended as a sequel to Henry IV, Part 2. He performed, too, in both Dublin and Edinburgh, of which he was a sometime manager.  Invited to Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, in 1762, he retained a connection to it for the rest of his life.

As a writer, Love met success with such Rome-inspired Pantomimes as The Witches; or, Harlequin Cherokee (1762), The Rites of Hecate; or, Harlequin from the Moon (1763) and The Hermit; or, Harlequin at Rhodes (1766), in addition to Cricket.  His earliest work was Pamela (1742).

He is famous within sporting circles for his Cricket: An Heroic Poem (1744), whose line "The strokes re-echo o'er the spacious ground" has been quoted in the Oxford English Dictionary.  Its subtitle reads thus: "Illustrated with the Critical Observations of Scriblerus Maximus. To which is Added an Epilogue, call'd 'Bucks Have at Ye All'. Spoken by Mr. King, at the Theatre Royal in Dublin, in the Character of Ranger, in The Suspicious Husband."

On 4 July 1745, the Daily Advertiser advertised it at 1/-.  A footnote to the publication adds that it was "[p]rinted for W Bickerton at the Gazette in the Temple Exchange near the Inner Temple Gate, Fleet Street."

According to the cricket historian H.S. Altham, the poem "should be in every cricket lover's library" and "his description of the game goes with a rare swing"

Family
Love was also the brother of George Dance the Younger, who took on the same occupation as his father.  It is probable that both the Younger and the Elder helped to construct the Richmond Theatre.  According to Dorothy Stroud, "references to the building are vague and two of them, while agreeing as to sponsors, differ as to the name of the designer.  A third gives it to [David] Garrick and it is evident that there was a good deal of confusion as to the various participants."

Qiao Lin (喬琳) (died July 28, 784) was an official of the Chinese Tang Dynasty, serving as a chancellor briefly early in the reign of Emperor Dezong.  He later served the rebel ruler Zhu Ci, and after Tang forces destroyed Zhu's regime, was executed despite his old age.

Background and early career
It is not known which year Qiao Lin was born, but it is known that his family was from Taiyuan.  He was poor in his youth and lost his father early but was studious and became known for his literary abilities.  Early in Emperor Xuanzong's Tianbao era (742-756), he passed the imperial examinations and was made the sheriff of Chengwu County (成武, in modern Heze, Shandong) and later the sheriff of Xingping County (興平, in modern Xianyang, Shaanxi). He was later invited by the great general Guo Ziyi to serve as Guo's secretary, and later made a Jiancha Yushi (監察御史), a mid-level imperial censor. At this time, he was said to be often talkative and jocular, and he often insulted his colleagues.  As a result, his relationship with a colleague, Bi Yao (畢耀), which started with mutual jocular insults, evolved into frequent serious disputes such that they accused each other of faults.  Qiao was demoted to be a census officer at Ba Prefecture (巴州, in modern Bazhong, Sichuan).

Qiao later served as the magistrate of Nanguo County (南郭, in modern Nanchong, Sichuan), and later the military chief of staff under Zhang Xiancheng (張獻誠) the military governor of Shannan West Circuit (山南西道, headquartered in modern Hanzhong, Shaanxi). After Zhang completed his term of office, Qiao became an assistant to Xianyu Shuming (鮮于叔明) the military governor of Dongchuan Circuit (東川, headquartered in modern Mianyang, Sichuan). He then successively served as the prefect of Guo Prefecture (果州, in modern Nanchong), Mian Prefecture (綿州, in modern Mianyang, Sichuan), and Sui Prefecture (遂州, in modern Suining, Sichuan). He was subsequently recalled to the capital Chang'an to serve as the deputy chief judge of the supreme court (大理少卿, Dali Shaoqing) and then the principal of the imperial university (國子祭酒, Guozi Jijiu).  Yet later, he was made the prefect of Huai Prefecture (懷州, in modern Jiaozuo, Henan).

During Emperor Dezong's reign
After Emperor Xuanzong's great-grandson Emperor Dezong became emperor in 779, Emperor Dezong's teacher Zhang She (張涉) became an influential advisor for Emperor Dezong.  Qiao was friendly with Zhang, and when Emperor Dezong asked Zhang for a recommendation for a chancellor, Zhang recommended Qiao — despite the fact that Qiao was not known for his abilities.  In fall 779, Emperor Dezong, believing in Zhang's recommendations, made Qiao chief imperial censor (御史大夫, Yushi Daifu) and gave him the designation Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (同中書門下平章事), making him a chancellor de facto — a commission that much shocked the people.  By this point, however, Qiao was old and hard of hearing, and whenever Emperor Dezong consulted him, he would rarely respond properly.  After he had only served less than 90 days as a chancellor, Emperor Dezong removed him from his chancellor position and made him the minister of public works (工部尚書, Gongbu Shangshu).  As a result of this inappropriate recommendation, Emperor Dezong distanced himself from Zhang thereafter. In 780, Emperor Dezong made Qiao the assistant to his younger brother Li Shu (李述) the Prince of Mu in a nationwide search for his mother Empress Dowager Shen, who had disappeared during the Anshi Rebellion.  (Empress Dowager Shen was ultimately never located.)

In 783, the soldiers from Jingyuan Circuit (涇原, headquartered in modern Pingliang, Gansu), at Chang'an to await deployment to the east in Emperor Dezong's campaigns against warlords, mutinied when they were angry that Emperor Dezong did not give them sufficient rewards.  Emperor Dezong fled to Fengtian (奉天, in modern Xianyang), and Qiao followed him there.  The mutineers supported the general Zhu Ci as their leader, and Zhu soon declared himself the emperor of a new state of Qin. Qin forces, however, were not able to capture Emperor Dezong at Fengtian, and the Tang and Qin forces went into a stalemate. In spring 784, the major Tang general Li Huaiguang, angry with Emperor Dezong over Emperor Dezong's refusal to meet him, entered into an alliance with Zhu against Emperor Dezong, and Emperor Dezong was forced to further flee to Liang Prefecture (梁州, in modern Hanzhong).  Qiao initially followed him but, when they reached Zhouzhi (盩厔, in modern Xi'an, Shaanxi), Qiao, citing his old age and his lack of a horse, declined to follow Emperor Dezong — despite Emperor Dezong's offering an imperial horse to him. Emperor Dezong, saddened, stated, "Take care of yourself.  I will bid farewell to you, Lord."  Qiao thereafter took tonsure and became a Buddhist monk at Xiaoyou Temple (仙遊寺).  When Zhu heard this, he had soldiers escort Qiao back to the capital and offered him the post of minister of civil service affairs (吏部尚書, Libu Shangshu).  Qiao, after initially declining, accepted.  He appeared to have mixed emotions about this, however, and one of the prospective officials that he selected for Zhu complained that the position given him was not secure, Qiao's response was an ambiguous, "Do you really feel that this position can be secure?"

Later in the year, though, another major Tang general, Li Sheng, destroyed Zhu's regime (which had been renamed Han) and recaptured Chang'an.  He welcomed Emperor Dezong back to Chang'an. A group of Han officials, including Qiao, were set to be executed. Li Sheng, taking pity on Qiao because of his old age, sought forgiveness on Qiao's behalf.  Emperor Dezong, resenting Qiao for turning against him, refused, and ordered Qiao beheaded. On July 28, 784 (the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar), Qiao was executed along with two other major Han officials, Jiang Zhen (蔣鎮) and Zhang Guangsheng (張光晟). Before he was killed, he sighed and commented, "I, Qiao Lin, was born on the seventh day of the seventh month, and I die here on the seventh day of the seventh month.  Is it not my fate?"

Necip Hablemitoğlu (28 November 1954 – 18 December 2002) was a Turkish historian and intellectual. He was assassinated in front of his home in 2002. The perpetrators of this assassination have still not been found. In Ergenekon trial testimony, however, detained suspects Osman Yıldırım claimed that Osman Gürbüz killed him by the motivation of detained suspects Veli Küçük and Muzaffer Tekin for a false flag operation.

Background and personal life
Hablemitoğlu graduated from the School of Press and Journal at the Faculty of Political Science, Ankara University in 1977. Between 1977 and 1978, he published a monthly journal titled Dilde, Fikirde, İşde Birlik. After serving as press consultant in some organizations, he did his master study and doctoral thesis on the History of Turkish Reforms at Ankara University.

He is survived by his wife Prof. Dr. Şengül Hablemitoglu, and daughters Kanije, and Uyvar, named after the outmost forts of the Ottoman Empire in the west and in the north.

Career
Hablemitoğlu was a lecturer on Atatürk's thoughts at Ankara University.

Studies on Crimean Tatars
He first introduced himself to the Turkish public with a series of articles titled "Yüzbinlerin Sürgünü" (The Deportation of the Hundreds of Thousands), which was published in the Turkish daily Akşam in the 1970s. These articles were later issued as a book with the same title. Considering the silence of the entire world, including the Turkic world, about the brutal deportation of Crimean Tatars by Soviet Union authorities during World War II, Hablemitoglu's articles written during the sensitive "Cold War" era, were indeed a daring attempt to draw world's attention to this politically "hot" issue. He continued to work on Crimean Tatar and other Turkic issues by publishing the journal Birlik in the early 1970s.

Çarlık Rusyası'nda Türk Kongreleri (1905–1917) [Turkic Congresses in Tsarist Russia (1915–1917)] was another of his scholarly contribution to the history of the Turkic peoples of Russia, a subject he was deeply interested in. With his wife Şengül Hablemitoglu, he co-authored one of the most important books related to Crimean Tatars, Şefika Gaspirali ve Rusya'da Turk Kadin Hareketleri (1893–1920) [Şefika Gaspirali and Turkic Women's Movement in Russia (1893–1920)]. (See: www.iccrimea.org/reports/sefika.html). Dr. Necip Hablemitoglu also wrote numerous articles related to Crimea and Crimean Tatars, mostly published in Crimean Tatar bi-monthly journal Kırım, issued in Ankara, Turkey.

Studies on German NGOs in Turkey
His book, Alman Vakıfları ve Bergama Dosyası, accused German NGOs operating in Turkey of espionage. The accusations were found wanting in court, as a consequence of which his publisher was fined 50 billion Lira (later reduced to a symbolic 1 billion after the prosecution declared that their grievance was not monetary). The Bergama issue revolved around the gold industry. It is claimed that Turkey imported US$800 million worth of gold from Germany annually, and the discovery of a gold mine in Bergama posed a threat, which had to be stopped. So in order to achieve that, the offices of various German NGOs in Turkey are claimed to have backhandedly financed and organized the anti-goldmine activist movements by local villagers in the area.

Gülen movement
His book Köstebek or Spy, published posthumously, was an exposé of the Gülen movement. In this book, Hablemitoglu claimed an illegal grouping of Gülen Movement in the Turkish police. In June 1999, he appeared on a TV program talking about the Gülenist organization. In that program, he gave detailed description of the structure and inner workings of Gülen movement and its ties to foreign intelligence services. After that TV program, he received death threats from unknown sources.

Assassination

The murder case is unresolved. According to one hypothesis, he was assassinated in a false flag operation by gendarmerie general Veli Küçük (his trial continues on Ergenekon case) that was pinned on Islamists.

According to another theory, Hablemitoğlu was killed in cooperation with Ergenekon and German NGOs, with the German GSG 9 secret service responsible (the motive relating to the Bergama issue, see "Studies on German NGOs" above).  Bedrettin Dalan, a fugitive and first number suspect in Ergenekon Case, allegedly has a fake passport from German Intelligence Agency BND.

Hablemitoğlu was focused on deciphering the Gulen movement in his finals years. In his book titled Köstebek (mole) he wrote that the movement was a terrorist organization that created an alternative organization to the existing government. He was killed 5 days before the book was published. In the last part of the introduction of his book he wrote: "I call on all nationalists to act together against the Fethullahist danger before its too late, I call on you to mold a public opinion for the cleansing of Fethullahist units from the intelligence services..."

Hablemitoğlu seems to have known that he was targeted, for his daughters asked him about what to do in the event of an assault.

The last thing he did on the day of his attack was to go grocery shopping. According to security camera records and receipts from the store, he left at 20:05 local time. He was assassinated after returning home a few minutes later.

Hablemitoğlu was buried at Karşıyaka Cemetery in Ankara on December 21, 2002.

Etrek (formerly Gyzyletrek, Bayat-Khadzhi , Kyzyl-Atrek)  is a city and administrative center of Etrek District in Balkan Province, Turkmenistan. It is located on the Atrek River () bordering on Iran.  The city's and district's name was changed to Etrek in December 1999 by Parliamentary Resolution HM-63.

Etymology
Atanyyazow postulates that the name "Etrek" comes from the Turkic word atrau, which refers to the shore of a body of water. The name was first encountered in the 13th century, in the works of Hamdallah Qazvi. Atanyyazow further makes clear that the prefix gyzyl- was added during the Soviet period as a reference to the revolutionary color "red". This municipality was known as Baýat-Hajy until 1928. Atanyyazow nods to local elders who say the name honored an early resident who completed the pilgrimage to Mecca, but notes that a local tribe is also named Baýat.

Overview
Nearby towns and villages include Agach-Arvat (4.8 km), Torshakli, Iran (6.3 km), Yasydepe (15.6 km), and Yarymtyk (19.4 km). There is no air service to Etrek, although there is an airport, Kizyl Atrek Airport, just to the south.

Etrek is the site of a barracks of the State Border Service of Turkmenistan, and is the location of a satellite office of the State Migration Service.  The city and its district are included in the list of frontier areas of Turkmenistan subject to border service control.

Climate
Etrek has a desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWk), with cool winters and hot summers. Rainfall is generally light and erratic, and is heavier in winter than in summer.

The active reserve of the KGB are members of the organization who work undercover "either pretending to assume various jobs or using as cover professions in which they are actually trained". Active reserve KGB officers typically occupied such positions as deputy directors of scientific research or deans responsible for foreign relations in academic institutions of the Soviet Union, although these people were not scientists. Other officers were trained for certain civilian jobs, usually translators, journalists, telephone engineers, or doormen in hotels that served foreigners.

The active reserve was significantly expanded in Post-Soviet Russia, when a majority of positions in the Russian power elite were occupied by acting or undercover officers of the Russian state security services, such as the FSB and SVR, the official successors of the KGB. "The only difference between them [officers of active reserve] and regular civil-servants is that they have an extra duty: writing reports every month for the FSB. They are the eyes of the master”, said sociologist Olga Krychtanovskaia.

Background
Undercover staff of the KGB included three major categories: (a) the active reserve; (b) the "trusted contacts" (or "reliable people"), and (c) "civilian informers" (or "secret helpers"). The "active reserve" included KGB officers with a military rank who worked undercover in the Soviet Union. "Trusted contacts" were high placed civilians who collaborated with the KGB without signing any official working agreements, such as directors of personnel departments at various institutions, academics, deans, or writers and actors. Informers were citizens secretly recruited by the KGB, sometimes using forceful recruitment methods, such as blackmail. The precise number of people from various categories remains unknown, but one of the estimates was 11 million "informers" in the Soviet Union, or one out of every eighteen adult citizens.

History
The active reserve was established by Yuri Andropov in the end of the 1960s. "Active reservists" worked in all organizations of importance including press and television.

A "Law on Foreign Intelligence" adopted in August 1992 provided conditions for penetration by former KGB officers to all levels of the government and economy, since it stipulated that "career personnel may occupy positions in ministries, departments, establishments, enterprises and organizations in accordance with the requirements of this law without compromising their association with foreign intelligence agencies." "All big companies have to put people from the security services on the board of directors... and we know that when Lubyanka calls, they have to answer them", said a Russian banker. A current FSB colonel explained that "We must make sure that companies don't make decisions that are not in the interest of the state".

Olga Kryshtanovskaya, director of the Moscow-based Center for the Study of Elites, has found in the beginning of the 2000s (decade) that up to 78% of 1,016 leading political figures in post-Soviet Russia have served previously in organizations affiliated with the KGB or FSB. She said: "If in the Soviet period and the first post-Soviet period, the KGB and FSB people were mainly involved in security issues, now half are still involved in security but the other half are involved in business, political parties, NGOs, regional governments, even culture... They started to use all political institutions."

Notable active reserve officers
Many Russian democratic politicians and businessmen hired officers of the active reserve as their closest associates. Most did this knowingly to receive the support of the powerful organization. Anatoly Sobchak asked for advice from Oleg Kalugin in 1990. He said: "I feel isolated. I need a person who can maintain contacts with the KGB, which controls the city". Very soon Sobchak hired Vladimir Putin who allegedly remained in the active reserve at this time.

Tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky hired former KGB general Alexei Kondaurov. Mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov had Yevgeny Primakov, then director of Russian Foreign intelligence. In 1991 businessman Vladimir Gusinsky hired General Philipp Bobkov who supervised the entire system of active reserve in the Soviet Union. Bobkov officially served as a head of security in the Media Most company that belonged to Gusinsky.

Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) is a category of unclassified information within the U.S. Federal government. The CUI program was created by President Obama’s Executive Order 13556 to create a streamlined method for information sharing and safeguarding. The Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) acts as the Executive Agent (EA) of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), and is responsible for oversight of the CUI program. The ISOO monitors the implementation of the CUI program by executive branch agencies. CUI will replace agency specific  labels such as For Official Use Only (FOUO), Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU), and Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) on new data and some data with legacy labels will also qualify as Controlled Unclassified Information. Federal contractors who handle CUI will be required to self-assess (or, in some cases, require a government official to review) with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) under the Cyber AB (Accreditation Board).

History
A Presidential memorandum of May 9, 2008, signed by President George W. Bush, assigned responsibility to the National Archives (NARA) for overseeing and managing the implementation of the CUI framework. This memorandum was rescinded by Executive Order 13556 of November 4, 2010, and the guidelines previously outlined within it were expanded upon to improve uniformity across all Federal agencies and to develop a standard policy regarding the controlled unclassification process itself.

In a similar previous effort, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Reducing Information Control Designations Act, , on March 17, 2009.  The bill was referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the 111th Congress in the US Senate, but it was never passed by the Senate.

The doctrine, policy, and processes for Controlled Unclassified Information came out of a study and policy change proposal which originated within the Information Sharing and Collaboration Office of the Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection Under Secretariat of the Department of Homeland Security in 2004.  The term Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) was coined by the authors of the study which reviewed over 140 various forms of unclassified information in use throughout the federal government at the time.  Authors of the study recommended a new doctrine and policy framework and recommended that ISOO, within the NARA, be charged with implementing and overseeing the new doctrine and policy.  At the time of delivery of the policy framework, NARA voiced objections to undertaking the effort due to a lack of resources.  The policy recommendation continued to be worked within DHS and the rest of government as part of the Program Manager for the Information Sharing Environment, which moved from DHS to the ODNI.  While the executive order, rescission of the order, and subsequent policy structure worked their way through the government, the timeline for the study/ analysis, creation of a draft policy and framework, the political processes, and the resulting policy implementation lasted from 2005 through 2017.  The study was led by Grace Mastalli and Richard Russell.

The US Department of Defense has been handling "Controlled Unclassified Information" before the Presidential 2008 memorandum was published and NARA became the Executive Agent in 2010. The DoD term embraced a similar type of data category. However, the DoD and NARA differed then and now (2019) on specific categories of data defined as "CUI".  DoDM 5200.01 Vol 4 defines DoD CUI policy until it is revised to align with NARA's definition. The Secretary of the Navy published SECNAV 5510.34 in November 1993 entitled Disclosure of Classified Military Information and Controlled Unclassified Information.

As of December, 2020, the Director of National Intelligence at the time, John Ratcliffe, issued a memorandum to the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs asking the President of the United States (President Trump) to rescind EO 13556. In the memo, Director Ratcliffe referred to the policies as "exponentially more complex", and "vastly overcomplicated".  According to the memo "As currently conceived, instead of simplifying and replacing a handful document markings with one new CUI marking, the CUI Program has expanded to over 124 categories in 20 groupings, with 60 Specified and 60+ Basic categories." He continued to express concerns from the Intelligence Community about significant cost, unclear guidance, and requested recision and a process for presidential action.

DNI Ratcliffe stated that the following rescission, support would be given to an Executive-branch review and replacement of the current FOUO and related markings to protect unclassified information. No extension of the previous December 31, 2020 timeline has been proposed, which has now passed, and it is currently unclear what action, if any, will be taken on this request.
The Department of Defense has clarified the policy on legacy markings such as FOUO. "Information previously marked as FOUO does not need to be re-marked as long it remains under DoD control or is accessed online and downloaded for use within the DoD." Based on CFR 32 Part 2002 each agency will develop the steps to handle legacy markings in their CUI programs.

Department of Defense Distribution Statements

The Department of Defense (DoD) has defined 6 distributions, A-F. Technically, Distribution A is not CUI, but Distributions B-F are. The distributions are defined as:

In machine tools, a spindle is a rotating axis of the machine, which often has a shaft at its heart. The shaft itself is called a spindle, but also, in shop-floor practice, the word often is used metonymically to refer to the entire rotary unit, including not only the shaft itself, but its bearings and anything attached to it (chuck, etc.). Spindles are electrically or pneumatically powered and come in various sizes. They are versatile in terms of material it can work with. Materials that spindles work with include embroidery, foam, glass, wood, etc.

A machine tool may have several spindles, such as the headstock and tailstock spindles on a bench lathe. The main spindle is usually the biggest one. References to "the spindle" without further qualification imply the main spindle. Some machine tools that specialize in high-volume mass production have a group of 4, 6, or even more main spindles. These are called multispindle machines. For example, gang drills and many screw machines are multispindle machines. Although a bench lathe has more than one spindle (counting the tailstock), it is not called a multispindle machine; it has one main spindle.

Examples of spindles include

 On a lathe (whether wood lathe or metal lathe), the spindle is the heart of the headstock.
 In rotating-cutter woodworking machinery, the spindle is the part on which shaped milling cutters are mounted for cutting features (such as rebates, beads, and curves) into mouldings and similar millwork.
 Similarly, in rotating-cutter metalworking machine tools (such as milling machines and drill presses), the spindle is the shaft to which the tool (such as a drill bit or milling cutter) is attached (for example, via a chuck).
 Varieties of spindles include grinding spindles, electric spindles, machine tool spindles, low-speed spindles, high speed spindles, and more.

High speed spindle
High speed spindles are used strictly in machines, like CNC mills, designed for metal work. There are two types of high speed spindles, each with different designs:

Belt-driven spindle
Consisting of spindle and bearing shafts held within the spindle housing, the belt-driven spindle is powered by an external motor connected via a belt-pulley system.

 External Motor: can be changed to create higher power and torque
 Max speeds: 12,000-15,000 RPM
 Advantage: cost-effective
 Disadvantage: limited max speed limits applications (high speeds cause quick burnout, different housing limit power and torque)

Integral motor spindle
A main component of this spindle is the motor, stored internally.

 Internal Motor: limited power and torque due to restricted space within the spindle housing
 Speed Range: 20,000-60,000 RPM (top speed according to design)
 Advantage: high top speed expands application use
 Disadvantage: sensitive life range according to use

Both types, the belt-driven and the integral motor spindles, have advantages and disadvantages according to their design. Which one is more desirable depends on the purpose of the machine and product(s) being produced.

CNC machines used with spindles
The type of CNC machine being used with your spindle will vary. Common CNC machines used are:

 CNC Mills
 CNC Lathes
 CNC Plasma Cutters
 EDM
 CNC Water Jets

In an automobile, the wheel spindle, sometimes called simply the spindle, is the part of the suspension system that carries the hub for the wheel and attaches to the upper and lower control arms.

Spindles are carried by steering knuckles or "uprights". Although the terms "steering knuckle" and "upright" are sometimes used interchangeably with "spindle", they all refer to different parts.

Design
There are several considerations when designing a spindle. Loads and forces need to be considered. Tolerance to vertical and horizontal forces greater than those due to 5 times the acceleration of gravity, approximately 50 meters per second squared, are sometimes considered desirable.

Non-driven wheel
The main forces on a non-driven wheel are braking and turning forces.

Driven wheel
The main forces on a driven wheel include forward and reverse propulsion in addition to braking and turning forces.
