Oksana Alexandrovna Kostina (; 15 April 1972 – 11 February 1993) was a Soviet and Russian individual rhythmic gymnast. She was the 1992 World All-around champion and 1992 European All-around bronze medalist.

Career
For years, Kostina remained in the shadow of two Ukrainian gymnasts, Oksana Skaldina and Olexandra Tymoshenko. Though she won the all-around bronze medal at the 1992 European Championships, she was not selected for the Olympic Games in Barcelona. Kostina and her coach, Olga Buyanova, frustrated by what they felt was the Unified Team's favoritism toward Skaldina, traveled to Barcelona and Kostina trained with the British team for a short time before the Russian Federation ordered her home.

In the absence of the two Ukrainian gymnasts, Kostina won the All-around gold medal, as well as gold medals in rope, hoop, ball and clubs at the 1992 World Championships in Brussels. She became Russia's first World Champion as an independent country. Her goal was to compete at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.

Death
Kostina died in a car crash on 11 February 1993 in Moscow, a few weeks shy of her 21st birthday.
She was engaged to Eduard Zenovka, Pentathlon bronze-medalist at the Olympic Games in Barcelona. A lorry that was driving in the opposite direction crashed head-on into their vehicle. Both athletes were seriously injured and needed surgery in hospital. Sixteen hours later, Kostina died from injuries sustained at the car crash. The police investigation revealed that Zenovka, who was driving the car, was heavily intoxicated at the time of the accident.

Achievements
Kostina was one of the few gymnasts to win gold medals in all of the apparatus in a single World Championship, along with Bianka Panova, Ekaterina Serebrianskaya and Evgenia Kanaeva.

The London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), Rebuilt Patriot Class was a class of 4-6-0 steam locomotives. They were rebuilt from LMS Patriot Class locomotives (which were the fourth type of LMS 2A boilered 4-6-0 locomotives) over the period 1946–1949. By the end of 1947, the LMS had rebuilt seven engines, these being 5514/21/26/29–31/40. After nationalisation, a further eleven locomotives were rebuilt. Rebuilt locomotives retained their numbers.

Rebuilding

Between 1946 and 1949 eighteen LMS Patriot Class engines were rebuilt with Stanier 2A boiler, cab and tender, though these were largely paper rebuilds, based on the LMS Rebuilt Royal Scot Class.  Seven (Nos 5514/21/6/9-31/40) had been rebuilt by the start of 1948 when British Railways inherited them.  In March 1948 BR added 40000 to their numbers to number them 45514/21/6/9-31/40. Subsequently, BR rebuilt another 11 of the Patriots, so that the rebuilt engines were (4)5512/14/21–23/25–32/34–36/45.  The two original members of the class, and the first ten of the nominal rebuilds, were not rebuilt due to their non-standard parts.

Details

Details of the engines as rebuilt are given below. Note that this only shows LMS numbers as carried by rebuilt engines of the LMS.

Withdrawal

The rebuilt Patriots were withdrawn between 1961 and 1965 in accordance with the BR Modernisation Plan and none were preserved.

Models

The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Rebuilt Royal Scot Class is a class of 4-6-0 steam locomotives. 70 members of this class were rebuilt by the LMS and its successor British Railways (BR) from LMS Royal Scot Class engines by the replacement of their life expired parallel boilers with a type 2A boiler over the period 1943–1955.  (The class sometimes is numbered 71 as it included a prototype 1935 rebuild LMS (4)6170 British Legion, but sufficient technical differences existed which dictate that it is treated separately). They were the second class to be rebuilt with type-2 boilers, after the rebuilding of British Legion and the Jubilee Class.

LMS gave them the power classification 6P; this was later revised by BR to 7P.

Rebuilding

1948 Exchange trials

In the 1948 Locomotive Exchange Trials, carried out by the recently nationalised British Railways, involved 46154 The Hussar and 46162 Queens Westminster Rifleman.  Apparently a rebuilt 'Royal Scot' proved capable of matching the maximum performance of the much larger LMS Coronation Class.

Accidents

On 27 August 1950, 46119 Lancashire Fusilier was hauling the Irish Mail which was in a rear-end collision with a light engine LMS Hughes Crab No. 42885 at , Denbighshire due to a signalman's error. Six people died as a result of the crash.
On 21 April 1952, 46117 Welsh Guardsman was one of two hauling an express passenger train which derailed at Blea Moor Loops, West Riding of Yorkshire due to a defect on the other locomotive causing a set of points to move under the train.

Withdrawal

All were withdrawn between 1962 and 1965 in accordance with the 1955 Modernisation Plan.

Preservation
Of the 70 engines to be rebuilt only 2 members of the class have survived into preservation.

Jeanne Sternlicht Chall (January 1, 1921 – November 27, 1999), a Harvard Graduate School of Education psychologist, writer, and literacy researcher for over 50 years, believed in the importance of direct, systematic instruction in reading in spite of other reading trends throughout her career.

Chall became deeply committed to teaching, to the importance of children's successful reading acquisition and the need to address failing readers, to the power of research to answer practical questions, and to the merit of understanding the historical background of research questions. Though her views were often controversial, she was respected by her peers for the meticulous research. Her conclusions about the best way to approach beginning reading were unpopular when she first presented them, though they have subsequently gained acceptance in the literacy community. Chall's professional life was committed to children's successful reading acquisition, especially low S.E.S. (socioeconomic status) children's. She was also committed to finding answers to failure among readers. She responded to the national concern over why many children were not learning to read well, made popular by Rudolf Flesch's Why Johnny Can't Read, by writing Learning to Read: The Great Debate. She and Edgar Dale also developed a formula, the Dale-Chall Readability Formula, in 1948 which was considered the most valid and reliable of its kind for determining the readability of texts for several decades. In 1983, Chall added Stages of Reading Development to her literacy contributions. Later, in 1996, she and three of her graduate students developed the Qualitative Assessment of Text Difficulty: A Practical Guide for Teachers and Writers.

Chall retired from the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 1991. She died at 78 in Cambridge, Massachusetts on November 27, 1999.

Biographical information
Born in Poland in 1921 to Jewish parents, her family immigrated to New York City when she was seven; Chall's native language was Yiddish. Although there were no bilingual programs in the New York City public schools she attended, she quickly learned English. Unlike her older siblings, Chall began her schooling in the US and ultimately helped to teach her parents English so that they could pass their citizenship exams. She graduated from the City College of New York in 1941 with a B.B.A. She served as research assistant to Edgar Dale at Ohio State University, where she received a M.A. in 1947 and a Ph.D. in 1952. Between 1950 and 1965 Chall rose from lecturer to professor at City College. Later she became the director of the Harvard Reading Laboratory at Harvard University. Chall died in 1999 at the age of 78. The Between the Lions episode "The Fox and the Crow" was dedicated to her memory.

Major contributions
In 1965 Chall moved to Harvard University to create and direct graduate programs in reading for master's and doctoral candidates. She founded the Harvard Reading Laboratory in 1967, directing it until she retired in 1991. The laboratory is now named after her. She served on the board of directors of the International Reading Association, 1961–1964, and on the National Academy of Education's Commission on Reading that resulted in the report Becoming a Nation of Readers (1985). She received many professional awards, last given to her in 1996.

Chall's most important professional contribution was a byproduct of the professional furor over Rudolf Flesch's Why Johnny Can't Read—And What You Can Do About It (1955). Flesch attacked the prevailing ideas, saying that reading professionals had ignored their own research.

Chall's Learning to Read the Great Debate (1967) quickly became a classic. Major textbook publishers reacted by emphasizing more phonics earlier in their series. Chall's book was updated in 1983 (3rd edition in 1996) with even stronger research findings to support its conclusions.

Stages of Reading Development was published in 1983. In 1996, Chall and three graduate students wrote a guide to evaluating the level of texts' reading difficulty, Qualitative Assessment of Text Difficulty: A Practical Guide for Teachers and Writers.

Chall's last work, published posthumously, was The Academic Challenge: What Really Works in the Classroom (2000). In it, she divides American instruction into "child-centered" and "teacher-centered" approaches, suggesting that the 20th century was dominated by the former (discovery approaches) in spite of the research that supported a later theory (explicit teaching).

The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Rebuilt Jubilee Class consisted of two 4-6-0 steam locomotives.

History
Both were rebuilt in 1942 from the LMS Jubilee Class engines—5736 Phoenix in April 1942 and 5735 Comet a month later. They were the second and third examples of the 2A-boilered locomotives, following on from the 1935 pioneer rebuild 6170 British Legion. Both Jubilees had been built in 1936 at Crewe Works, and therefore their original type 3A boilers were not life expired and hence were refurbished and reused on different engines rather than being scrapped. They were given the power classification 6P.

From 1943, it was decided not to repeat the conversion on the remaining 189 members of the Jubilee Class. Rather it was decided to rebuild members of the LMS Royal Scot Class into the LMS Rebuilt Royal Scot Class.

British Railways service
Both were inherited by British Railways in 1948, and had 40000 added to their numbers so that they became 45735/6. 45736 Phoenix was withdrawn in September 1964 and 45735 Comet followed in October. Neither was preserved.

The two German steam locomotives of DB Class 78.10, operated by the Deutsche Bundesbahn, were rebuilds based on two Prussian P 8 engines which were converted by the firm of Krauss-Maffei and the Minden repair shop. The aim was to improve the acceleration performance of the vehicles, especially for duties on suburban lines and city (Stadtbahn) lines.

The running gear, drive and boilers of both locomotives, which originally had the running numbers 38 2919 and 38 2990, remained virtually unchanged. The driver's cab was redesigned. A short tender was added which was coupled to the engine with a shaft and improved the riding qualities when running in reverse. The locomotives were classed as tank engines and initially worked in the Munich area, later in Augsburg and finally by Lake Constance. They remained the only ones of their type and were retired as early as 1961.

Neither of the two DB Class 78.10 locomotives has been preserved.

Aultmore railway station was a station which served the village of Aultmore, in the Scottish county of Moray. It was served by trains on the Buckie and Portessie Branch north of Keith. The latter station is now the nearest to Aultmore. Until 1 January 1899 the station was known as Forgie.

History
Opened by the Highland Railway in 1884 it had a short life, the line closing to passengers  in 1915. Aultmore became the terminus of a goods spur from Keith and continued this role until 1966. Alexander Macrae was the stationmaster appointed on 28 October 1904 having been promoted from Inverness station and remaining until closure on 7 August 1915.

Infrastructure
The station had two platforms and loop line with originally a goods siding and loading dock to the north, later a second loading dock and sidings were added on the "down" side. The station building was on the "up" side and was 2.5 miles from Keith railway station. A stationmasters' house was provided as was a porters' house. Located on a gradient of 1 in 60 the gradient eased a little to the north at 1 in 70. On 7 November 1917 the Admiralty requisitioned the track between Aultmore and Portessie for use at Invergordon and Inverness however in June 1918 they also lifted the track between Aultmore and Crooksmill, leaving however the station buildings and sidings intact.

In June 1919 the Highland Railway relaid the section to Aultmore from Crooksmill and resumed goods services at the request of the local authorities. In 1925 the station buildings were restored however they were never used for passenger services. In 1937 the track was simplified and realigned to provide a layout of just two sidings and by this time the platforms had been reduced to just banks of earth. By 10 December 1937 the track between Aultmore and Buckie had once again been lifted. The Keith signal lineman made regular visits to Aultmore to maintain the ground lever frame and the Distillery Manager's Office had a railway telephone for the purposes of ordering the delivery of waggons.

Signalling
Signalling was by block telegraph and semaphore signals with the first section being Keith West to Forgie (Aultmore), followed by Forgie (Aultmore) to Enzie. The line was usually worked on a 'one engine in steam' principle, special trains being timed so as not to conflict with the regular timetabled services.

Services
The timetable for the first regular services shows four trains in each direction however as they were all "mixed" trains the passengers were required to wait whilst shunting of goods waggons took place. In 1907 the summer timetable showed five trains in each direction, reducing to three in the winter.

A 12:50 pm goods train ran from Portessie to work the goods stations at Buckie and Aultmore, the local goods from Keith being withdrawn. From 1 November 1907 the engine was withdrawn from Portessie and instead a 2:15 pm ran to Aultmore to work the goods station as and when required. A daily 5:00 pm return goods ran from 1919 Services were suspended between 1943 and 1945 and finally ceased in 1966.

The site today

The stationmasters' house is  in use as a private home.

Hopes and Fears is the debut studio album by the English alternative rock band Keane. It was released on 10 May 2004 in the United Kingdom and topped the UK Albums Chart upon release. It was the UK's second best-selling album of 2004, behind the Scissor Sisters' self-titled debut album, and has since been certified 9× Platinum by the BPI. The album returned to the top of the charts after winning a Brit Award for Best Album in February 2005.

With more than 2.7 million copies sold in the UK, Hopes and Fears ranks the 11th-best-selling album of the 2000s in the UK. In July 2011, it was ranked the 9th-highest-selling album of the 21st century in the UK. As of September 2019 it is the 36th-best-selling album in UK chart history. Worldwide, the album has sold over 5.8 million copies . It was also among ten albums nominated for the best British album of the previous 30 years by the Brit Awards in 2010, ultimately losing to (What's the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis.

Album information
Unlike their follow-up album, most songs were already composed by the album's conception date; the track "She Has No Time" was composed circa 1999, making it the earliest composed song appearing on the album. Some were already played in a guitar-led form with Dominic Scott still in the band. "Bedshaped", "She Has No Time", and "This Is The Last Time" were played at some of the last gigs with Scott. The tracks "On a Day Like Today" and "We Might As Well Be Strangers" became the last to be composed, circa 2003.

The album was recorded at Helioscentric Studios in Peasmarsh, Rye by Andy Green and the band between September and Christmas 2003.  James Sanger did not attend any recording sessions post his involvement with the band in 2001.

The album was mixed down to six channels to enable a release on Super Audio CD (SACD).

The album takes its name from the lyrics of the song "Snowed Under", released as a B-side on the single for "Somewhere Only We Know". The relevant section of the lyrics reads: "You've been looking everywhere for someone to understand your hopes and fears."

Hal Leonard music published two versions of the official score book for Hopes and Fears, designed for differing skill levels. The Music Sales Group also published a book, including two demo CDs with accompanying bass and drum tracks, along with scores for the B-side songs "Snowed Under", "Walnut Tree", and "Fly to Me".

Singles

Critical reception

Hopes and Fears received generally positive reviews from critics. Review-aggregating website Metacritic, reported a normalised score of 61/100, based on 18 reviews, indicating "generally favourable" reviews.

Playlouder was very positive, calling it "one of the best albums you'll hear this year", as was Q magazine, which gave it four out of five stars and wrote that "as a debut album, its confidence is right up there with [Oasis's] Definitely Maybe." AllMusic, giving the album four and a half out of five stars, praised its "beautiful, emotive dalliance of instrumentation", singer Tom Chaplin's "rich vocals", and the band's "open-hearted ambition...audible on every song", while Rolling Stone noted that the album "contains more hooks than most pop groups manage in their careers."

In a mixed three-star review, The Guardian criticised the first half the album for "rely[ing] too heavily on Chaplin's show-stopping vocals" and for the "radio-friendly simplicity of the lyrics", while praising "Can't Stop Now" as a "swooning, epic pop song" and the "booming drum and bass" of "Untitled 1" on the second half. Drowned in Sound gave it 5 out of 10, accusing Keane of excessively imitating Coldplay (specifically comparing "Your Eyes Open" and "On a Day Like Today" to, respectively, "Daylight" and "Politik" on the band's album A Rush of Blood to the Head), criticising the album as being "stylistically all over the place" and its lyrics as being "immature" and "cringe-worthy". However, it gave credit to the album's "fine moments", praising lead single "Somewhere Only We Know", for example, as "breathtaking".

Legacy
In 2006, British Hit Singles & Albums and NME organised a poll in which 40,000 people worldwide voted for the 100 best albums ever, and Hopes and Fears was placed at #51 on the list. The album was ranked #5 in Amazon's Best Selling Albums of the Decade. In 2005, the album won the Brit Award for best album. In 2010 the album was nominated for Brit awards in the category Album of 30 Years; however, it lost to Oasis's (What's the Story) Morning Glory?

In 2011, Q magazine made a list called 250 Best Albums of Q's Lifetime 1986–2010 and the album appeared at number 34.

Francisco de Asís "Francis" Franco y Martínez-Bordiú, 11th Marquis of Villaverde (born 9 December 1954), is a Spanish aristocrat and manager of several business associations.

Besides his real estate businesses, he owns many parking spaces in Madrid.

He is the grandson of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco.

Biography
Born in 1954 in Madrid, Francisco is the third of seven children of surgeon Cristóbal Martínez-Bordiú and Carmen Franco, the only child of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco and Carmen Polo. He had two older sisters, María del Carmen and María de la O, and four younger siblings, María del Mar, José Cristóbal, María de Aránzazu and Jaime Felipe.

He earned a licentiate degree in Medicine and Surgery from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), although he has never practised as physician.

Following a hunting trip to Tarragona in 1977, Franco was sentenced to one and a half months in prison and was subject to the removal of his hunting license in 1978. He was again detained in 1979 during a trip to the Montes Universales in possession of a Remington but not convicted of any offence.

He was engaged for a period to Ana García Obregón.

Francisco changed the order of his surnames under orders from his grandfather in order to perpetuate his Franco lineage.

Marriage and children
Francisco Martínez-Bordiú y Franco first married at Altafulla, Tarragona, on 18 December 1981, to María de Suelves y Figueroa (b. Lima, 22 August 1957), daughter of Juan José de Suelves y de Ponsich, 11th Marquess of Tamarit (Barcelona, 3 November 1928 - Madrid, 26 July 2004) and Victoria de Figueroa y Borbón (m. San Sebastián, 11 August 1955), daughter of the 2nd Count of Romanones (paternal grandfather: Álvaro, 1st Conde de Romanones; maternal great-grandfather: Enrique de Borbón, 1st Duke of Seville), and had two children:

 Francisco Franco y de Suelves (b. Madrid, 30 November 1982).
 Juan José Franco y de Suelves (b. Madrid, 29 September 1985).

Francisco Franco y Martínez-Bordiú and María de Suelves y Figueroa divorced in 1992. Upon his father's death in 1998, Francisco Franco y Martínez-Bordiú succeeded him as 11th Marquis of Villaverde. After the 1988 death of his maternal grandmother, Carmen Polo, he succeeded her as the 2nd Lordship of Meirás (together with accompanying dignity Grandee of Spain).

He married again at Móstoles in March 2001, Miriam Guisasola y Carrión (b. 1967), and had two children:

 Alvaro Franco y Guisasola (b. Madrid, 15 August 1994).
 Miriam Franco y Guisasola (b. Madrid, 5 February 1996).

The couple divorced in 2014.

Kravjek Castle (, ) is a ruined castle northwest of Muljava, in Lower Carniola, Slovenia.

History

Kravjek was once one of the more important castles of the Duchy of Carinthia. Its first owners were the Dukes of Spanheim, who managed the castle via their ministeriales. This practice resulted in the castle's first indirect mention in a 1243 record of a legal proceeding, in which a "Friderik castellanus de Weinek" was called as a witness. The castle was next indirectly mentioned in written sources in 1254, when its castellan Rajnboto of Jetrbenšek, ministerialis of Duke Ulrik III, donated two farms and two vineyards to Stična Abbey.

The first direct record of the castle dates from 1256, in an agreement signed by the brothers Ulrik and Phillip of Salzburg, dividing their inheritance. Ulrik received Ljubljana Castle and Kostanjevica Castle, and Phillip took possession of the Carinthian castles at Himmelberg and Wernberg, as well as the castles at Sostro and Kravjek.

Phillip sold Kravjek in 1279 to the Patriarchate of Aquileia. It remained a personal fief of the Dukes of Carinthia until 1335, when it passed among the holdings of the duchy itself.

Tiptree railway station was on the Kelvedon and Tollesbury Light Railway, serving the village of Tiptree, Essex, England. The station was  from Kelvedon Low Level railway station.

The station was opened in 1904. It was closed, along with the rest of the line for passengers, on 7 May 1951.

A short siding ran from the station into the Wilkin & Sons jam factory for freight traffic. The section between the jam factory and Kelvedon, through the closed Tiptree station, continued in use for freight traffic until 28 September 1962.

Bailly Cemetery is a cemetery located at Indiana Dunes National Park in Porter, Indiana, US.
The cemetery is three-quarters of a mile (1.2 km) north of the Joseph Bailly Homestead on the edge of a sand ridge.  The first recorded burial was Robert, the son of Joseph Bailly, in about 1827.  Subsequently, the site has been considered a family graveyard.  Burials of those outside the Bailly family are numerous.  Today, they are all unmarked, including Swedish residents of the area.  Outside the cemetery platform to the north there are eight recorded tombstones, four of which are older than 1827: Isaac Schellinger, 1811; Peter Carlbon, 1814; Rhoda Schellinger, 1816; and Thomas B. Speer, 1817.

Cemetery history
In 1827, Joseph Bailly chose the sand hill as a resting place for his son Robert.  He placed a thirty-foot wooden cross near the grave which travelers on the nearby trail could easily view.  Why he buried his son on this hill, three-fourths of a mile from the home, can only be speculated.  Perhaps he did so because it had already been used for burials.  More likely, since he marked the place with a large cross, he chose the highest point in the area.

The entire Joseph Bailly family is interred in this cemetery.  There are also a stepdaughter, son-in-law, and several grandchildren.  In the early years, the Swedish community also used this site as a cemetery, until Rose Bailly Howe restricted it to the Bailly family after 1866.  Rose Howe had the grounds enclosed with a wooden fence around 1867.  In 1885 she had a six-foot (1.8 m) limestone wall topped with iron spikes erected.  Access was through an iron gate on the south side. On the inside walls, three boxes with rounded tops were included with the stations of the cross.  An altar was built in the southeast corner. A cross had been erected in the center of the cemetery by Joseph Bailly in 1827.

By 1914, Miss Frances R. Howe worried about entry into the cemetery and had Theodore Stephens of Chesterton construct a concrete block wall around the old one.  Stairs at the northeast end lead up to the top and a stone railing with ornamental coping was erected.  The interior of the cemetery was filled with sand.  Memorial plaques were moved from inside the walls to the outside at the southwest end. The entire raised platform was encircled by a concrete retaining wall and driveway.  During construction, numerous unmarked graves were discovered and moved just outside the new construction.

Lurë is a former municipality in the Dibër County, northeastern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became a subdivision of the municipality Dibër. Its administrator is Leonard Rajta. The population at the 2011 census was 1,096. The region of Lurë is inhabited by the Albanian Lura tribe.

Old Lurë (), Lurë Plain () and Borie Lurë, are the three neighborhoods of Lurë. More villages are in the municipality of Lurë such as Krej Lurë, Pregj Lurë, Arrmall, Vlashe and Gur Lure. With an area of 1,280 hectares, the Lurë National Park is situated in the eastern side of the mountain massive of "Kunora e Lures". Its 14 icy lakes offer picturesque and attractive environments at an altitude of 1.350-1.720 m. Among the many lakes the one that stand out are the Big Lake (32 hectares), the Lake of Pines (13 hectares), the Black Lake (8 hectares) and the Lake of Flowers (4 hectares), and The Grand Lake (Albanian: Liqeni i Madh). In winter these lakes freeze.

History
Lura is an old village in the Dibër county and has a fascinating history. After Skanderbegs death in 1468 the Ottomans wanted 300 women from Lura. The people of Lura were angered so instead of sending woman in Duvaks they sent 300 men in Duvaks with weapons to fight the ottomans. The men were sent on horseback to the ottoman camp and then when they got there the ottomans were waiting and then they started fighting the ottomans and they eventually won the battle.

Demographic history
Lurë appears in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a village in the timar of Ali Vardari in the vilayet of Lower Dibra. The settlement had a total of nine households represented by the following household heads: Pop Sima; Mirko, brother of Pop Sima; Gjergj Limaçi; Martini, son of Gjergji; Shtjefan Matarisi; Gjon Gjerboçi; Peter Smaqi (Zmaqi); and Tolë Miçoqi.

"On a Day Like Today" is a song by Canadian musician Bryan Adams, released on September 22, 1998, as the first single from his eight album, On a Day Like Today (1998). The song reached number one in Canada and number nine in Hungary. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number thirteen on the UK Singles Chart.

Critical reception
Larry Flick of Billboard wrote, "This is the single that Adams supporters at top 40 radio have been waiting for. It shows him deftly straddling the line between the arena rock persona his diehard disciples adore and the softer, more ballad-driven crooner that made tunes like "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" recurrent faves. On the title cut of his forthcoming album, Adams and collaborator Phil Thornalley have meticulously crafted a fine song that gradually builds from an introverted acoustic opening into a full-bodied rock power ballad. The element that makes this track work so well is an oh-so-subtle injection of psychedelic pop harmonies and quasi-symphonic strings. In the end, this is a refreshing release that bodes extremely well for the enduring artist's future at pop radio."

Albert Beech (24 September 1912 – 20 June 1985) was an English footballer who played as a defender for Port Vale, Altrincham, Huddersfield Town, Notts County, and Northwich Victoria. He played in the First Division with Huddersfield and won the Cheshire Senior Cup with Altrincham.

Early and personal life
Albert Beech was born on 24 September 1912 in Fenton, Staffordshire; he married and later died in Fenton.

Career
Beech played for Leek Alexandra and Stoke St.Peter's, before joining Port Vale in November 1930. He turned professional in September 1931 and made his only appearance for the club in a 2–1 home defeat to Manchester United on 28 November 1931. He left on a free transfer in May 1933 and moved on to Altrincham. He was the club's top-scorer in the 1933–34 campaign, scoring 24 goals in 49 games, including a hat-trick against Crewe Alexandra Reserves in a 6–2 win on 2 December. He won the Cheshire Senior Cup with the club, as Altrincham beat Congleton Town 1–0 in the final at Edgeley Park. Having proven himself in the Cheshire County League, he was signed by First Division club Huddersfield Town in June 1934, alongside left-back James Taylor. He played three matches in the 1934–35 campaign. He scored four goals in sixteen games during the 1935–36 season, with his first goal in the Football League coming on 14 April in a 1–1 draw with Portsmouth. He featured just three times in the 1936–37 season, his final appearance coming in a 5–0 defeat at Middlesbrough on 27 February. He was sold on to Notts County for a £1,000 fee in June 1937. He played thirteen Third Division South matches in the 1937–38 season. He then returned to Fenton and played for Northwich Victoria, before World War II ended his professional career at the age of 27.

Greenwood Music Camp is a summer camp in Cummington, Massachusetts whose primary focus is chamber music.  Other activities include soccer, crackabout, softball, capture the flag, a treasure hunt, charades, talent show, hikes up Mount Greylock, visits to art museums, a contra dance and a visit to the Cummington Fair, as well as sports swimming, tennis or ping-pong.

Greenwood was founded in 1933 by Dorothy "Bunny" Fay Little and Ruth Hill McGregor, and moved to its current location in 1940.  The senior session (up to age 18) is five weeks in July, and the junior session (up to age 13) is two weeks in August.

History

Greenwood Music Camp was founded in 1933 by Dorothy "Bunny" Fay Little and Ruth Hill McGregor.

In a 1982 essay, Dwight Little wrote:

Greenwood really started by chance.  Bunny (Fay) and Ruth (Hill) had taught at the Smith College Summer School of Music after graduating, but in 1933 Rumsey McGregor (engaged to Ruth) said, "Why don't you and Bunny take a few of your students to Isle La Motte"—Ruth's parents' summer home on Lake Champlain—"for a month this summer?"  Ruth thought it was a great idea, wrote to Bunny, and had a reply (positive) by return mail.
That first year, in 1933, there were five students, and Ruth's parents, Dr. and Mrs. Hill, enthusiastically made way for them ... The name Greenwood had been given to the Hill's summer place by Ruth's younger brother who loved Robin Hood.  He shot home-made arrows up and down the hill when he was a boy.

When the camp grew to ten students, Dwight and Bunny moved it to Harvard, Massachusetts, to a large house with a warren of rooms and studies—known as the Hutch—on the side of a hill.  The move to the Berkshires, to a beautiful hilltop location, made it possible to house more than 40 campers plus faculty.

The camp and its music teaching methods have been featured on the Classical Connections show on Boston's WGBH (FM).

In fluid dynamics, the mild-slope equation describes the combined effects of diffraction and refraction for water waves propagating over bathymetry and due to lateral boundaries—like breakwaters and coastlines. It is an approximate model, deriving its name from being originally developed for wave propagation over mild slopes of the sea floor. The mild-slope equation is often used in coastal engineering to compute the wave-field changes near harbours and coasts.

The mild-slope equation models the propagation and transformation of water waves, as they travel through waters of varying depth and interact with lateral boundaries such as cliffs, beaches, seawalls and breakwaters. As a result, it describes the variations in wave amplitude, or equivalently wave height. From the wave amplitude, the amplitude of the flow velocity oscillations underneath the water surface can also be computed. These quantities—wave amplitude and flow-velocity amplitude—may subsequently be used to determine the wave effects on coastal and offshore structures, ships and other floating objects, sediment transport and resulting bathymetric changes of the sea bed and coastline, mean flow fields and mass transfer of dissolved and floating materials. Most often, the mild-slope equation is solved by computer using methods from numerical analysis.

A first form of the mild-slope equation was developed by Eckart in 1952, and an improved version—the mild-slope equation in its classical formulation—has been derived independently by Juri Berkhoff in 1972. Thereafter, many modified and extended forms have been proposed, to include the effects of, for instance: wave–current interaction, wave nonlinearity, steeper sea-bed slopes, bed friction and wave breaking. Also parabolic approximations to the mild-slope equation are often used, in order to reduce the computational cost.

In case of a constant depth, the mild-slope equation reduces to the Helmholtz equation for wave diffraction.

Formulation for monochromatic wave motion

For monochromatic waves according to linear theory—with the free surface elevation given as  and the waves propagating on a fluid layer of mean water depth —the mild-slope equation is:

where:
 is the complex-valued amplitude of the free-surface elevation
 is the horizontal position;
 is the angular frequency of the monochromatic wave motion;
 is the imaginary unit;
 means taking the real part of the quantity between braces;
 is the horizontal gradient operator;
 is the divergence operator;
 is the wavenumber;
 is the phase speed of the waves and
 is the group speed of the waves.
The phase and group speed depend on the dispersion relation, and are derived from Airy wave theory as:

where
 is Earth's gravity and
 is the hyperbolic tangent.
For a given angular frequency , the wavenumber  has to be solved from the dispersion equation, which relates these two quantities to the water depth .

Transformation to an inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation

Through the transformation

the mild slope equation can be cast in the form of an inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation:

where  is the Laplace operator.

Propagating waves

In spatially coherent fields of propagating waves, it is useful to split the complex amplitude  in its amplitude and phase, both real valued:

where
 is the amplitude or absolute value of  and
 is the wave phase, which is the argument of

This transforms the mild-slope equation in the following set of equations (apart from locations for which  is singular):

where
  is the average wave-energy density per unit horizontal area (the sum of the kinetic and potential energy densities),
  is the effective wavenumber vector, with components
  is the effective group velocity vector,
  is the fluid density, and
  is the acceleration by the Earth's gravity.

The last equation shows that wave energy is conserved in the mild-slope equation, and that the wave energy  is transported in the -direction normal to the wave crests (in this case of pure wave motion without mean currents). The effective group speed  is different from the group speed

The first equation states that the effective wavenumber  is irrotational, a direct consequence of the fact it is the derivative of the wave phase , a scalar field. The second equation is the eikonal equation. It shows the effects of diffraction on the effective wavenumber: only for more-or-less progressive waves, with  the splitting into amplitude  and phase  leads to consistent-varying and meaningful fields of  and . Otherwise, κ2 can even become negative. When the diffraction effects are totally neglected, the effective wavenumber κ is equal to , and the geometric optics approximation for wave refraction can be used.

When  is used in the mild-slope equation, the result is, apart from a factor :

Now both the real part and the imaginary part of this equation have to be equal to zero:

The effective wavenumber vector  is defined as the gradient of the wave phase:
 and its vector length is

Note that  is an irrotational field, since the curl of the gradient is zero:

Now the real and imaginary parts of the transformed mild-slope equation become, first multiplying the imaginary part by :

The first equation directly leads to the eikonal equation above for , while the second gives:

which—by noting that  in which the angular frequency  is a constant for time-harmonic motion—leads to the wave-energy conservation equation.

Derivation of the mild-slope equation

The mild-slope equation can be derived by the use of several methods. Here, we will use a variational approach. The fluid is assumed to be inviscid and incompressible, and the flow is assumed to be irrotational. These assumptions are valid ones for surface gravity waves, since the effects of vorticity and viscosity are only significant in the Stokes boundary layers (for the oscillatory part of the flow). Because the flow is irrotational, the wave motion can be described using potential flow theory.

Luke's variational principle

Luke's Lagrangian formulation gives a variational formulation for non-linear surface gravity waves.
For the case of a horizontally unbounded domain with a constant density , a free fluid surface at  and a fixed sea bed at  Luke's variational principle  uses the Lagrangian

where  is the horizontal Lagrangian density, given by:

where  is the velocity potential, with the flow velocity components being   and  in the ,  and  directions, respectively.
Luke's Lagrangian formulation can also be recast into a Hamiltonian formulation in terms of the surface elevation and velocity potential at the free surface.
Taking the variations of  with respect to the potential  and surface elevation  leads to the Laplace equation for  in the fluid interior, as well as all the boundary conditions both on the free surface  as at the bed at

Linear wave theory

In case of linear wave theory, the vertical integral in the Lagrangian density  is split into a part from the bed  to the mean surface at  and a second part from  to the free surface . Using a Taylor series expansion for the second integral around the mean free-surface elevation  and only retaining quadratic terms in  and  the Lagrangian density  for linear wave motion becomes

The term  in the vertical integral is dropped since it has become dynamically uninteresting: it gives a zero contribution to the Euler–Lagrange equations, with the upper integration limit now fixed. The same is true for the neglected bottom term proportional to  in the potential energy.

The waves propagate in the horizontal  plane, while the structure of the potential  is not wave-like in the vertical -direction. This suggests the use of the following assumption on the form of the potential
 with normalisation  at the mean free-surface elevation

Here  is the velocity potential at the mean free-surface level  Next, the mild-slope assumption is made, in that the vertical shape function  changes slowly in the -plane, and horizontal derivatives of  can be neglected in the flow velocity. So:

As a result:
 with

The Euler–Lagrange equations for this Lagrangian density  are, with  representing either  or

Now  is first taken equal to  and then to
As a result, the evolution equations for the wave motion become:

with  the horizontal gradient operator:  where superscript  denotes the transpose.

The next step is to choose the shape function  and to determine  and

Vertical shape function from Airy wave theory

Since the objective is the description of waves over mildly sloping beds, the shape function  is chosen according to Airy wave theory. This is the linear theory of waves propagating in constant depth  The form of the shape function is:

with  now in general not a constant, but chosen to vary with  and  according to the local depth  and the linear dispersion relation:

Here  a constant angular frequency, chosen in accordance with the characteristics of the wave field under study. Consequently, the integrals  and  become:

The following time-dependent equations give the evolution of the free-surface elevation  and free-surface potential

From the two evolution equations, one of the variables  or  can be eliminated, to obtain the time-dependent form of the mild-slope equation:

and the corresponding equation for the free-surface potential is identical, with  replaced by  The time-dependent mild-slope equation can be used to model waves in a narrow band of frequencies around

Monochromatic waves

Consider monochromatic waves with complex amplitude  and angular frequency :

with  and  chosen equal to each other,  Using this in the time-dependent form of the mild-slope equation, recovers the classical mild-slope equation for time-harmonic wave motion:

Applicability and validity of the mild-slope equation
The standard mild slope equation, without extra terms for bed slope and bed curvature, provides accurate results for the wave field over bed slopes ranging from 0 to about 1/3. However, some subtle aspects, like the amplitude of reflected waves, can be completely wrong, even for slopes going to zero. This mathematical curiosity has little practical importance in general since this reflection becomes vanishingly small for small bottom slopes.

Wilderness Song (foaled 1988 in Ontario) is a retired Canadian Champion Thoroughbred racehorse and a Hall of Fame inductee. Out of the mare Nalee's Rhythm, she was sired by 1984 Breeders' Cup Classic winner Wild Again.

Bred and raced by Sam-Son Farm and trained by Jim Day, Wilderness Song lived under the shadow of her stablemate and fellow Hall of Fame filly Dance Smartly, to whom she finished second in the 1991 Canadian Oaks and the Queen's Plate. Her second-place finish at the Queen's Plate was also historic because of her passenger. Francine Villeneuve became both the first female jockey to finish "in the money" in a Canadian Triple Crown race and the first Canadian woman to ride in Canada's oldest race.

Wilderness Song won eight of her eighteen starts in Canada and made nineteen starts in the United States, where her seven wins included the Grade 1 Spinster Stakes at Keeneland Race Course. In 1992, Wilderness Song was voted the Sovereign Award for Champion Older Female Horse. She was retired to broodmare duty following the 1993 season.

In 2008, she was honored with induction into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame.

HeroBox sends custom care packages to American soldiers around the world. Founder, Ryan Housley, realized the need for customized care packages after receiving requests for specific items from his younger brother who was deployed in Iraq.  The standard care packages were not always meeting the troops needs or wants.  This was mostly because the soldiers did not have direct input regarding the preparation of their care package.  HeroBox allows the soldier to customize their care package so they are receiving exactly what they need and want.  What started as a family's simple effort of supporting their Hero, has grown into a non-profit organization supporting all American Heroes in the United States Armed Forces.  HeroBox launched their official website on Memorial Day 2008 where soldiers can order and customize their HeroBoxes online.

The European Film Fund (EFF), also known as the European Relief Fund, was a non-profit organization established by the talent agent and producer Paul Kohner.

History
The European Film Fund was founded on November 5, 1938 on the initiative of Paul Kohner, Ernst Lubitsch, and Universal Pictures studio head, Carl Laemmle. Founder members were William Dieterle, Bruno Frank, Felix Jackson, Salka Viertel and Ernst Lubitsch. The Domicile of the EFF was Paul Kohner Talent Agency and president was Ernst Lubitsch, because he was considered the best known European filmmaker in Hollywood. The organisation was founded to help European emigrants who needed Affidavits, money or jobs. That is why, Liesl Frank, Bruno Frank's wife, worked together with the Emergency Rescue Committee.

The Fund collected and distributed money, some filmmakers donated one percent of their fees. For example, Michael Curtiz and William Wyler, both Jewish and of, respectively, Hungarian and Swiss-German origin, were especially generous. Furthermore, there were earnings from benefit performances.

In the early 1940s the Fund earned about $40,000. Some Persons were supported by credits, others by donations. Several beneficiaries of the EFF got jobs in the film industry (esp. at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Warner Bros.) as screenwriters.
These jobs weren't paid very well but they often were the precondition for getting visa. Many European filmmakers couldn't repay the money, because they didn't find well paid jobs.

"The more clear-headed émigrés understood very soon that these salaries paid them by Hollywood were fictitious, at least when the realized that, while they earned $100 or $200 a week for completely useless work, a real screen writer earned $3,500. It was quite symbolic that once their contracts expired[…]."
The Fund was closed in 1948.

Chandra Mohan (24 July 1906 – 2 April 1949) was an Indian actor, known for his work in Hindi cinema in the 1930s and 1940s. He became known for his villainous roles in a number of critical and commercial successes.

Life and career
Born in Narsinghpur in Madhya Pradesh, he was known for his large grey eyes, voice modulation and dialogue delivery. His eyes form the opening sequence in V. Shantaram's 1934 film Amrit Manthan, which was also his film debut. It was the first film made in the newly established Prabhat Films studio, and made both in Hindi and Marathi. Mohan received acclaim for his role as Rajguru and went on to establish himself as a noted villain of the time.

Mohan later appeared as Emperor Jehangir in Sohrab Modi's Pukar, as Randhir Singh in Mehboob Khan's Humayun and as Seth Laxmidas, in Mehboob Khan's Roti.

One of his last appearances was in Ramesh Saigal's 1948 film Shaheed. As Rai Bahadur Dwarka Nath, he played father to Ram, who was portrayed by Dilip Kumar. Mohan's character in this film initially supports the British Government but later favors the Freedom Struggle. Chandra Mohan's last movie was a religious movie Rambaan (1948), in which he played the role of the demon emperor Ravana.

He was the original choice to play the lead role in K. Asif's Mughal-e-Azam, but due to his untimely death the film had to be reshot after ten reels were shot with him as lead. The film was eventually released in 1960.

Death
Mohan gambled and drank heavily and died penniless on 2 April 1949 at the age of 42 at his residence, Bilkha House, in Bombay.

LMS diesel shunter 7051 was built by the Hunslet Engine Company to demonstrate its wares. After public exhibition in February 1932, it was used for trials at a colliery, before being tested by the LMS. After further public exhibition in February 1933, it was at last purchased by the LMS in May 1933. It was loaned to the War Department from August 1940, which numbered it 27. During 1941–1944 it was returned to the LMS, but in August 1944 it returned to the WD, now numbered 70027. After the end of World War II it was returned to the LMS, but was withdrawn in December 1945 and resold back to Hunslet. Hunslet used the locomotive as a works shunter, but it was also available for hire, and spent time at oil refineries in Essex and with British Railways.

In September 1960 the locomotive was preserved by the Middleton Railway in Leeds and named John Alcock, named after the then current Managing Director of Hunslet Railway Company. It remains at the Middleton Railway, but has spent time on loan to other locations, including the National Railway Museum, York.

Shanley's Restaurants were elegant Manhattan eateries that operated from 1890 to 1925.

History

The first Shanley's Restaurant was located at 23rd Street and 6th Avenue. It was owned by Thomas J. Shanley, Bernard F. Shanley, Patrick J. Shanley and four other Shanley brothers. The restaurants were famous in Times Square until the Prohibition era, beginning with their initial restaurant in 1890.  The brothers were born in County Leitrim, Ireland, and came to the United States in 1888. The last Shanley's closed in 1925.

The first and last of the famous "lobster palaces" of Broadway was Shanley's. There were seven brothers in the clan and it was common jest in the early 1900s that whenever the Shanley's were about to open a new spot, they would send to Ireland for another brother. At one time there were four Shanley Restaurants operating concurrently. The head of the tribe was Tom Shanley.  Tom and Barney Shanley  opened a restaurant on Sixth Avenue, between 23rd and 24th Sts., then the center of the nite life in the city. The second restaurant was opened in 1896 on Broadway, between 29th and 30th St; and, thereafter, the Shanley Restaurants followed the northward tide of commerce and entertainment. In 1896, Oscar Hammerstein startled the town by opening The New York Theater on Broadway, between 44th and 45th St. Skeptics thought the impresario "crazy" for venturing above 42nd Street. The Shanley's followed suit, crossing the 42nd St."deadline" to open a restaurant on the east side of Broadway and 43rd Street.

This trail-blazing venture was the forerunner of the lobster palaces that were later to decorate the Gay White Way. Ornate chandeliers and other elegant trappings made the new Shanley's the talk of the town. The Empire Room on the main floor dazzled diners with its gilt, mahogany and mirrors. The Ladies Restaurant on the second floor was resplendent in red and green, done in the style of Louis XVI. On the third floor was the Roman Court, a sumptuous banquet room with two balconies and a ceiling 30 feet high. Mythological Roman subjects were presented in bas-relief at one end of the room.

Shanley's "uptown" spot became a rendezvous for stage and political celebrities.John and Ethel Barrymore, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Houdini, David Belasco, Richard Mansfield, "Diamond Jim" Brady and Lillian Russell might be seen at adjacent tables. When Adolph Ochs built the Times Tower on Longacre Square (later Times Square) in 1904, Shanley's became the social headquarters for his editorial and executive staff.

When the Putnam Palace opened on the West Side of Broadway, (where the Paramount Theater now stands) the Shanley's rented space on the 43rd side and opened the most ambitious cafe, at a cost of $350,000. Opening nite, July 14, 1910, the crowd that occupied every one of the 315 tables, included: former D.A. William Travers Jerome (who prosecuted Harry Thaw), Tammany leader Charlie Murphy, the Sullivans; actors Sam Bernard, Lew Fields, Joe Weber, Douglas Fairbanks. Among the ladies present, were: Louise Dresser, who later became famous in theater and films and Lillian Lorraine, described by Ziegfeld as the most beautiful woman in the world.

Shanley's, indirectly, was a motivating factor in the creation of ASCAP, today, one of the most powerful unions in the entertainment field. Victor Herbert was dining at Shanley's, listening to the orchestra play a medley of his compositions, when the waiter handed him a staggering check. "You've charged me for every item on the menu, apparently, and I am paying the bill? But how much are you paying me for playing my compositions? The answer, of course, was "nothing." With this, Herbert sued Patrick Shanley, for the illegal use of his compositions.  The suit went all the way to the Supreme Court, where Oliver Wendell Holmes ruled in favor of Victor Herbert and as a result, ASCAP was founded.

Chronology of establishments
The Shanley Restaurants followed the journey of the theater, beginning on 23rd Street and finding their great success in Times Square, which was then called, "Longacre Square. The Shanley's followed the commerce and theater uptown, crossing the 42nd street barrier and was frequented largely by the theater and political crowd.

... When they got up to the room they kissed each other in a hurry and washed up to go out to a show. First they went to Shanley's to dinner. Tony ordered expensive champagne and they both got to giggling on it.

BancFirst Corporation is a corporation which operates under the name BancFirst, a state chartered bank in Oklahoma, United States.  It has over 100 banking locations serving 60 communities throughout the state of Oklahoma, and is the Third largest Oklahoma based FDIC insured financial institution ranked by deposits in Oklahoma   and also largest state chartered bank in Oklahoma.

History
The roots of BancFirst date back to 1966 when lead investor and Chairman H.E. "Gene" Rainbolt purchased Federal National Bank in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Federal National had $16 million in assets at the time of purchase. Throughout the '70's, Rainbolt acquired interests in many rural Oklahoma banks and formed Thunderbird Financial Corporation to assist each bank with management services. In 1985, Rainbolt's banks in seven communities were brought under the ownership of United Community Corporation.

On April 1, 1989, BancFirst was formed and established their corporate headquarters in downtown Oklahoma City. The law changes which allowed multiple banks to merge in such a fashion were largely due to Gene Rainbolt's efforts to modernize Oklahoma's archaic banking laws.

In 1993, through an initial public offering, BancFirst began trading on the NASDAQ under stock symbol BANF. They have continued to grow through acquisitions. On January 24, 2014, BancFirst acquired the failed Bank of Union ("BOU") in El Reno, Oklahoma after the FDIC appointed them as receiver.

Currently
BancFirst continues to grow today through branch expansion and acquisition of community banks in select Oklahoma markets. Currently, BancFirst operates in 60 Oklahoma communities in 32 of Oklahoma's 77 counties, and with over 100 service locations. The bank's ATM network provides over 350 ATMs across the state and includes all Oklahoma Walgreens stores and EZ GO locations.

As of December 2016, BancFirst's assets totaled $7,018,952, in thousands, while deposits total $6,248,057, in thousands. After 25 years as CEO, David Rainbolt became Executive Chairman of BancFirst Corp. in May 2017,  David Harlow was promoted to CEO of BancFirst Corp., and Darryl Schmidt became CEO of the company's primary subsidiary.

LMS diesel shunter 7052 was an experimental 0-6-0 diesel-mechanical shunting locomotive, introduced by the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMSR) in 1934 and which remained in service with that railway for six years. It was later acquired for military use until 1966.

History
No. 7052 locomotive was an experimental locomotive built by the Hunslet Engine Company at their Leeds works in 1934. It carried an original number of 7402 only within the works and was delivered as LMSR as number 7052. For six years it was used for shunting at Leeds before being loaned to the Air Ministry in 1940. It was loaned to the War Department between 1940 and 1942, which numbered it 24. It was withdrawn from LMS stock in December 1943 and sold for use at RNAD Broughton Moor, near Maryport, for which use it was flameproofed by Hunslet. After withdrawal in 1966, it was sold to a scrap metal company in Long Marston, which used it as a yard shunter for a further three years, after which it was scrapped.

The World Triathlon Aquathlon Championships is a aquathlon championship competition organised by World Triathlon. The competition has been held annually since 1998. The championships is a continually timed race containing a swim stage and either one or two run stages. Typically, the race consists of run—swim—run segments. When the water is less 22 degrees Celsius, a wetsuit is required and the race starts with the swim stage, followed by a single run stage, so that participants do not have to put on a wetsuit mid race. The total run distance is around 5 km and the swim is between 750m and 1 km. However the distances have varied during the event's history depending on local circumstances.

LMS diesel shunter 7053 carried its original number of 7403 only within the Hunslet Engine Company's works, and was delivered as LMS number 7053. It was of almost exactly the same size and shape as LMS diesel shunter 7052, but had different internal fittings. It was loaned to the War Department between 1939-1942, which numbered it 23. Immediately upon return to the LMS, in December 1942, it was withdrawn from stock and sold back to Hunslet. No further use was found for it and it was eventually dismantled during the mid-1950s.

LMS diesel shunter 7054 was initially allocated the number 7404 but this number was never carried.  It was supplied by the Hunslet Engine Company in 1934.  Testing started in October 1934 and it was taken into LMS stock in November 1934.

War Department use
The locomotive was loaned to the War Department for various periods of time during 1939–1942, which numbered it 26. It was withdrawn from LMS stock in May 1943 and sold to the War Department, which then numbered it 225 (70225 from 1944).

Post-war use
In 1947, it was sold to Hunslet, where it was stored for seven years before being hired to the National Coal Board. The NCB later bought the locomotive and had it rebuilt with a Rolls-Royce C6NFL engine by Hunslet in 1960–61. It worked at a number of collieries for the NCB, but was finally withdrawn and scrapped in 1974.

Maqellarë (/Makelari or Макеларе/Makelare) is a village and a former municipality in the Dibër County, northeastern Albania. At the 2015 local government reform it became a subdivision of the municipality Dibër. The population at the 2011 census was 10,662.

Demographics
Maqellarë is recorded in the Ottoman defter of 1467 as a settlement in the ziamet of Dibra (within the vilayet of Upper Dibra) and a hass property belonging to the soubashi Ahmet Bey. The village had a total of seven households and the anthroponymy attested is almost exclusively Slavic in character, with a single instance of Albanian anthroponymy (Lisimadi).

According to the statistics of Vasil Kanchov, in 1900 the town had 240 Muslim Bulgarian inhabitants and 210 Christian Bulgarian inhabitants.  However, Kanchov noted that the inhabitants of the village preferred to be called Albanians and that they spoke Albanian.

The wider Maqellarë municipality, however, includes a number of predominantly Albanian towns that were not listed in Kanchov's study as they were not part of the Debar kaza.  Of all the towns in the modern municipality that were included in Kanchov's study, Gradec and Kërçishtë e Epërme were primarily Bulgarian Christian, Herebel, Kllobuçisht and Kërçishtë e Poshtme were primarily Bulgarian Muslim, Maqellarë was Bulgarian divided between the two with slightly more Muslims, and six other towns were primarily Albanian Muslim: Vojnik, Majtarë, Erebarë, Kovashicë, Bllatë e Epërme and Bllatë e Poshtme; finally, one village, Grezhdan, had a mixed population of Albanian Muslims and Bulgarian Christians. Overall, the sum of the partial municipality shows that Muslims were in the largest religious group, Bulgarians the largest language group, and Albanian Muslims had a plurality with 1490 residents (44.7% of the partial municipality), living beside 985 Bulgarian Muslims (29.8% of the partial municipality), and 855 (25.7%) Bulgarian Christians. The Halveti Order had one structure in the modern commune, in the mixed Albanian Muslim and Bulgarian Christian town of Grezhdan.

According to the early 20th century newspaper Debar voice, the village of Maqellarë had 23 households affiliated with the Bulgarian Exarchate and 25 Muslim households.

During the first World War occupying Austro-Hungarian forces conducted a census (1916-1918) of parts of Albania they held. Of the area corresponding to the contemporary administrative unit of Maqellarë, settlements had the following ethnic and religious demographics:

Burim (Allajbeg) was inhabited by 409 Albanians and 4 Romani with a total of 413 Muslims.
Bllatë e Epërme - 177 Muslim Albanians.
Bllatë e Poshtme - 196 Muslim Albanians.
Çernen - 141 Muslim Albanians.
Dovolan - 259 Albanians, 44 Bulgarians, 5 Romani: 258 Muslims, 51 Orthodox.
Erebarë - 166 Muslim Albanians.
Grezhdan - 234 Albanians, 19 Romani: 253 Muslims.
Herebel - 74 Albanians, 136 others, 3 Romani: 77 Muslims, 136 Orthodox.
Kërçisht i Epërm - 23 Albanians, 14 Bulgarians, 197 others: 37 Muslims, 197 Orthodox.
Kërçisht i Poshtëm - 314 Muslim Albanians.
Kllobçisht - 530 Albanians, 6 Romani: 536 Muslims.
Kovashicë - 237 Muslim Albanians.
Fushë e Vogël (Kurtbeg) - 112 Muslim Albanians.
Majtarë - 247 Muslim Albanians.
Maqellarë - 288 Albanians, 87 Bulgarians, 11 Romani: 290 Muslims, 96 Orthodox.
Katund i Vogël (Obok) - 169  Albanians, 29 Bulgarians: 72 others: 165 Muslims, 106 Orthodox.
Pesjak - 130 Muslim Albanians.
Pocest - 604 Muslim Albanians.
Popinar - 145 Muslim Albanians.
Vojnik - 263 Albanians, 16 Romani: 279 Muslims.

Linguists Klaus Steinke and Xhelal Ylli consider the overall census results to be accurate and reflective of much of the ethnic and religious demographics of the area during that time, however noting that the then identity of the Orthodox Slavic speaking populace was fluid as reflected in census declarations. Toward the end of the 1920s the Orthodox Slavic speaking population was located in only two villages Herbel and Kërçisht i Epërm while in the 1930s the population decline of Orthodox Slavophones continued.

During the 2000s linguists Klaus Steinke and Xhelal Ylli seeking to corroborate villages cited in past literature as being Slavic speaking carried out fieldwork in villages of the area. In Herbel only 6 Orthodox Slavic speaking families made up of 3 larger households of around 20 individuals each remain. In Kërçisht i Epërm the village contains 200 inhabitants and 45 households, of which 6 are Orthodox families with a total of 17 individuals. On the eve of the collapse of communism in 1991, Kërçisht i Epërm had 110 households with 27 belonging to the Orthodox community.

Use of the Macedonian language in Kërçisht i Epërm is limited and facing extinction, due to usage being confined to the family. Albanian is also used in family settings especially by younger generations who have limited knowledge of Macedonian due to Albanian school influences and the demographic decline of the Slavic speaking population in the village. Linguists Steinke and Ylli also noted that unlike the Gollobordë region, the villages of the Maqellarë administrative unit area do not have any Muslim Slavic speaking inhabitants, and the village of Katund i Vogël (Obok) no longer has any Slavic Christians left and is inhabited only by Albanians.

Ahearn Field was the first on-campus athletic field for Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas.  It was used from 1911 to 1922 by the football team, baseball team, and track team.  It was named in honor of former coach Mike Ahearn.

The field opened with a high school track competition held on April 15, 1911.

Before Ahearn Field, Kansas State's athletic teams used an open public square in Manhattan located at Bluemont Avenue and 8th Street, known informally as Athletic Park.  A covered wooden grandstand was built at the Athletic Park in 1906, along with a small locker room.  These structures were both transported to Ahearn Field in 1911 and used at the new site.  The grandstand was located at the south end of the field, facing north (approximately the current location of the K-State Alumni Center).

Memorial Stadium was opened at the same site in 1922, at which time the alignment of the football field was shifted from east–west to north–south, and the old grandstand was removed. As late as 1938 the new field was still referred to as Ahearn Field at Memorial Stadium.

LMS diesel shunters 7055/6 were built by Hudswell Clarke. They were initially allocated numbers 7405/7406 but these numbers were never carried. Testing started in August 1934. One locomotive was taken into LMS stock in December 1934 and the other in October 1935.

Conversion
They were withdrawn from normal service in April/May 1939 and subsequently converted to mobile power units, emerging in their new guise as MPU2/MPU1 in May 1940/October 1940 respectively. MPU2 (7055) was later allocated to the Eastern Region of British Railways, where it was identified as number 953 in their departmental vehicle series.

Scrapping
They were scrapped in February 1964/January 1956 respectively, though due to administrative errors, the disposal of 953 (7055) was not recorded and it was initially allocated number 968004 in the new departmental locomotive series introduced in 1968.

Ossi Runne (23 April 1927 – 5 November 2020) was a Finnish trumpeter, orchestra leader, composer, and record producer.

Career
He changed his name to Runne in 1936, and in the early part of his career was known as a trumpeter and an orchestra leader. Upon his return to Finland from the post of conductor for the China Variety Orchestra in Stockholm in 1957, he joined the Musiikki-Fazer company as a studio manager. In 1965 he moved to Yleisradio and became head conductor of the national radio orchestra; later he led the TV 1 orchestra as well. He retired from both positions in 1992.

He is perhaps most recognized for conducting Finland's entries at the Eurovision Song Contest. He first conducted the entry "Playboy" (which he also composed) at Luxembourg in 1966. Runne would go on to conduct 22 Finnish entries, ending in 1989. In addition, he was also the Yleisradio Eurovision commentator in 1981 and 1990.

He wrote an autobiography, Trumpetilla ja tahtipuikolla (“With the trumpet and the baton”) in 2003.
