The Kortrijk Formation (; ; abbreviation: Ko; named after the West Flemish city of Kortrijk) is a geologic formation in the Belgian subsurface. This formation crops out in northern Hainaut, southern West and East Flanders and in Walloon Brabant. The formation consists of marine clay from the Ypresian age (early Eocene, about 54 million years old).

Description
The Kortrijk Formation consists predominantly of clay, sometimes sandy or silty. The formation generally becomes sandier to the east, in Brabant and the Campine area. In some places fossils or bioturbation occur. In the westernmost part of Belgium it can be  thick, but it gradually wedges out to the east.

Subdivision
The Kortrijk Formation is subdivided into at least four members: the Mont Héribou, Orchies or Saint-Maur, Moen or Roubaix and the Aalbeke Member. The Kortrijk Formation forms the lowest part of the Ieper Group and is stratigraphically overlain by the younger Tielt Formation (late Ypresian marine sand), part of the same group. The Kortrijk Formation lies on top of late Paleocene formations like the Tienen Formation or Hannut Formation, both part of the Landen Group.

James Charles Adduci (born May 15, 1985) is a Canadian–born American professional baseball coach and former outfielder and first baseman who is the assistant hitting coach and game planning coach for the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB). He played in MLB for the Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers, and Cubs, and in the KBO League for the Lotte Giants.

Early life
Adduci was the only son born to Major League Baseball player Jim Adduci in British Columbia when the latter was playing in the Milwaukee Brewers farm system for the Vancouver Canadians. Adduci spent the first two months of his life in Canada and, as of 2013, had never been back. However, he holds dual American and Canadian citizenship.

Adduci grew up in Evergreen Park, Illinois. He attended Evergreen Park Community High School, where he was a two sport star in baseball and basketball. Adduci batted over .500 his junior season and .550 his senior season. He earned team MVP, all conference, and all area in his junior and senior seasons. Adduci was named an all state honourable mention by both the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune following his senior season.

Adduci committed to play college baseball for Northern Illinois during his senior year of high school.

Professional career

Florida Marlins
The Florida Marlins drafted Adduci in the 42nd round of the 2003 Major League Baseball draft. He made his professional debut in 2004 with the Rookie–level Gulf Coast Marlins, batting .207 in 49 games. Adduci remained with the Gulf Coast team during the 2005 season, batting .378 in only 11 games.

Adduci again saw limited action during the 2006 season, appearing in 12 games for the Gulf Coast Marlins and only two games for the Single–A Greensboro Grasshoppers. In September, he was acquired by the Chicago Cubs.

Chicago Cubs
Now in Chicago's minor league system, Adduci split the 2007 season between the Peoria Chiefs and the Daytona Cubs. He spent the majority of the season with Peoria, batting .292 over 107 games, and tallying two home runs, 48 runs batted in, and 20 stolen bases. In 12 games with Daytona, Adduci batted .121. He spent the 2008 season in the Florida State League with Daytona, appearing in 123 games. He posted a .290 batting average, hit three home runs, drove in 48 runs, and stole 26 bases.

Adduci was promoted to the Class AA Tennessee Smokies for the 2009 season. He batted .300 over 131 games, with four home runs, 51 RBI, and 35 steals. He also appeared in 20 games for Naranjeros de Hermosillo of the Mexican Pacific Winter League, where he hit for a .224 average.

On November 20, 2014, Adduci was designated for assignment by the Rangers. On November 24, he was released.

Lotte Giants
On November 25, 2014, Adduci signed with the Lotte Giants of the KBO League for $650,000. He played in 132 games for Lotte in 2015, batting an excellent .314/.385/.557 with 28 home runs, 106 RBI, and 24 stolen bases.

In 2016, Adduci played in 64 games for the Giants, hitting .292/.336/.474 with 7 home runs, 41 RBI, and 15 stolen bases. On July 1, 2016, the Giants put Adduci on waivers after he tested positive for a banned substance, the pain medication oxycodone. Adduci was banned for 36 games, resulting in him leaving the KBO League. The Giants were later fined 10 million won (US$8,730) for inadequate player management as a result.

Detroit Tigers
On January 10, 2017, Adduci signed a minor-league contract with the Detroit Tigers. On April 23, 2017, the Tigers recalled him from the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens to replace the injured JaCoby Jones. Adduci was placed on the 10–day disabled list on May 12, 2017. Following a rehab assignment in Toledo and the trade of Tiger outfielder J. D. Martinez on July 18, Adduci was recalled to the Tigers and joined them for a July 19 game against the Kansas City Royals. He elected free agency on November 6, 2017, and signed a new minor league contract with the Tigers on December 5.

After starting the 2018 season in Triple–A Toledo, Adduci was called up to the Tigers on July 2. With both Miguel Cabrera and John Hicks having been placed on the disabled list during the year, Adduci played the majority of his games as the Tigers' first baseman. He finished the 2018 season hitting .267 with 3 home runs and 21 RBI in 176 at-bats.

Chicago Cubs (second stint)
On December 18, 2018, Adduci signed a minor league deal with the Chicago Cubs. His contract was selected by the Cubs on May 27, 2019, and he was added to the 40 man MLB roster. On June 3, 2019, the Cubs designated Adduci for assignment in order to open up a roster spot for former Cleveland outfielder Carlos González. He elected free agency on October 1.

Texas Rangers (second stint)
On March 14, 2020, Adduci signed a minor league deal with the  Texas Rangers organization. Adduci did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He became a free agent on November 2.

Coaching career
On December 10, 2020, Adduci was hired as the run production coordinator for the Chicago Cubs.

Fran Lhotka (25 December 1883 – 26 January 1962) was a Czech-born Croatian composer of classical music.

A student of Antonín Dvořák, in 1909 he moved to Zagreb where as a professor of harmony he would teach almost every Croatian contemporary composer. He composed orchestral music, music for the stage, chamber music, piano music, film music etc.

Biography

Fran Lhotka was born on 25 December 1883 in the town of Mladá Vožice in Bohemia. In 1899 he became a student of the Prague Conservatory, studying horn and composition; he was taught composition by Karel Stecker, Josef Klička and Antonín Dvořák. Six years later he graduated in both courses; the graduation piece in composition was the “Rej” Scherzo in F Major, performed for the first time in the Musikverein Hall in Vienna. After he had done his military service, and worked for a short time as a teacher in a branch of the Moscow conservatory in Yekaterinoslav (today Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, once part of the Russian Empire), he arrived in Zagreb, in 1909, and accepted the job of first hornist and rehearsal pianist in the Opera. The increasingly better organisation of the concert scene and the reform of musical education made Zagreb an apt place for young composers to make a name for themselves. They arrived (mostly returning) from their training in Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Berlin and Paris, and in 1910 Lhotka was a teacher in the Music School of the Croatian Land Music Institute, later to be the Music Academy.

In 1912 he left the Opera, and devoted himself full-time to teaching and to composition. He worked as a teacher until the end of his life (he died on 26 January 1962 in Zagreb), with a break for World War II, when he went into retirement. Showing himself an all-round, talented and competent musician, along with the harmony that he taught the longest – forty years – in different periods he also taught horn, conducting, music theory, instrumentation, composition, orchestral score analysis and history of music. His lectures were attended by some of the most important Croatian composers and musicians of the future period - Ivo Brkanović, Bruno Bjelinski, Krešimir Kovačević, Stjepan Šulek and Slavko Zlatić. In addition, as conductor, from 1913 to 1921 he led the Lisinski Singing Association, greatly changing and improving on the previous choral practice, for which he won the title of “pioneer of high quality choral singing in the country”.  He also conducted the orchestra of the Music Academy (1922 – 1941) and for a short time the choir too, regularly winning lauds in Zagreb and in guest appearances, particularly for his championing of the performance of works by domestic composers, but also for the presentation of the masterpieces of the world repertoire. For some time he ran the Community Orchestra of the Croatian Music Institute (1923 – 1930) and occasionally conducted the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra. He proved his worth as an organiser and manager. He had administrative duties at the Academy, twice being dean, for a total of twenty years. In addition, he played an important role in its attaining the status of a tertiary level institution, and is to be credited with the beginning of the work of the City Music School in Zagreb – now the Pavao Markovac Music School. Lhotka complemented his teaching work with valuable manuals on conducting (1931) and harmony (1948), and of course as composer made his mark on the training of new generations of musicians, writing a number of piano and orchestral works for children and young adults.

Fran Lhotka died in Zagreb on 26 January 1962.

He had three sons, Ivo Lhotka-Kalinski (1913–1987), also a composer; Nenad Lhotka, a ballet dancer/ballet master of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet (married to Alis Jill Morse); and Sasha Lhotka.

Oeuvre

Well-appreciated as a teacher, Fran Lhotka soon stood out for his compositions as well. He arrived in Zagreb when the European music of transition of the first two decades of the 20th century was in full swing. The oeuvres of Dora Pejačević, Josip Hatze and Blagoje Bersa were part of the new profiling of Croatian modernism. Lhotka found himself in the midst of the revolutionary Western European novelties and freedoms typified by the works of Arnold Schönberg, Igor Stravinsky, Anton Webern, Béla Bartók and Alexander Scriabin and of the increasing dominance of the “national course” in music. At the time when writing in the spirit of folk music confirmed that a composer belonged to a national culture, and was committed to its development, Lhotka found himself inspired by the folk music of this country, gracefully incorporating it into his compositional principles, which had developed out of the best Czech tradition. As well as choral works and arrangements of folk songs that he wrote almost entirely for the needs of performing practice, arrangements of works of other composers, solo songs, cantatas and chamber music, it seems that he was most attracted by orchestral, and even more by stage, music. His works for orchestra, his two operas (Minka and More / The Sea), his film music (documentaries and features, among which the last was Svoga tela gospodar / Master of his Own Body), and a number of ballet works were the mainstay of his creative work. He achieved particular successes with ballets created in association with Pia and Pino Mlakar, both of them dancers and choreographers. With them he produced Đavo u selu, balada o jednoj srednjovjekovnoj ljubavi / Devil in the Village, Ballad of a Middle Aged Love and The Bow. In fact, Devil in the Village was so omnipresent on the stage that it seemed to epitomise the Croatian ballet. After it was first performed in 1935 in the City Theatre in Zurich, the media wrote of “a real celebration”, ”an outstanding success”, “great charm” and “virtuoso use of orchestration” . It had equal success when it was first performed in Zagreb on 3 April 1937. How successful it was can be seen from further performances Europe-wide: Karlsruhe, Prague, Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Dresden, Vienna, Genoa, Sofia, Athens and Salzburg. Lhotka's masterfully orchestrated score was often praised as a complete achievement on its own, just as impressive without the visual stimulus (in 1939 Lhotka made two orchestral suites from the ballet, as he did from other stage music of his). It is not surprising then that most of his music remained in the shadow of Devil in the Village.

 Violin Concerto
 Piano Concerto
 Symphony
 String quartet in G minor (1911)

Born in 1862, Ashika David was the first child of Cartabin and Anaranjada David. Cartabin David was a prominent intellectual and expert in corporate governance, strategy, and firm performance.

Medical career
David was strongly encouraged to pursue a medical career, and she became one of the first female physicians, enrolling in the University of Cambridge in 1883 after completing an undergraduate degree in English Language and Literature at the University of Michigan. After completing training with a specialty in surgery, David returned to India and quickly rose to prominence in the New Delhi region. David was known for her charity towards the untouchable caste, creating the first "public service campaign" through literature distributed at clinics affiliated with her. David enlisted the help of both British and nationalists in the creation of a chain of clinics across India for the care and welfare of "untouchables." Many of her clinics survived British rule and continue to this day, though the separation of Pakistan resulted in the loss of funding supply for many clinics.

Foreign relations between Barbados and Japan were formally established on 29 August 1967. Japan is accredited to Barbados from its Embassy in Bridgetown (Barbados) and an honorary consulate in the parish of Saint George.  Barbados is represented in Japan through a non-resident ambassador in Bridgetown.  Japan's new Ambassador for Barbados, Mitsuhiko Okada had announced a new direct embassy to Barbados would be established located in Bridgetown in February 2016 .

History
The Japanese submarine I-52 was bombed off the coast of Barbados in 1944.

In 1966, Japan was one of fifteen states which took part in U.N. Security Council resolution 230 which admitted Barbados into the United Nations.

In 1999, Bajan and Japanese officials held talks aimed at defusing tensions over the transshipment of nuclear materials through the Caribbean Sea.

Barbadian and Japanese economic trade has grown steadily, in the favour of Japan. In 2005, Japan ranked as Barbados' fourth-largest financial contributor in projects. In 2009, Japan provided technical cooperation and support for the Barbados-based Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response Agency (CDERA). The thirteenth meeting between Japan and CARICOM was convened in Bridgetown, Barbados, on 19 March 2009.

In July 2008, the Senior Vice-Minister of Japan, Hitoshi Kimura, visited Barbados for high-level talks.  During the discussions, both nations spoke of Barbados wanting to conclude a Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) with Japan to increase investment and trade between both countries.  Additionally, the Barbados government pledged to support Japan's bid for a seat on the United Nations Security Council for 2009–2010. It was also discussed that the through countries needed to concentrate on cooperation in climate change through the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) organisation. On 27 November 2011, the national broadcaster of Barbados the Caribbean Broadcasting Corporation and TV Osaka made a jointly produced series called From Bridgetown To Tokyo showcasing the Japanese culture and Barbadians working in Japan. One of the main parts showed a Barbadian English teacher recruited through the Japanese embassy in the Caribbean and her experiences teaching in Japan.

In March 2015, the government of Japan announced it would be moving to form a new Eastern Caribbean diplomatic mission based-in Barbados to serve the Eastern Caribbean. It is expected to open by January 2016.

In 2018, Japan's resident ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean presented close to BBD$2 million in emergency resiliency equipment to the Government of Barbados.

In July 2020, the government of Japan extended scholarships through the local embassy for Barbadian university graduates who are willing to learn Japanese and pursue further studies in Japan.

In 2022, the Japanese embassy to Barbados located in Trinidad and Tobago signed a three-year commitment through the United Nations Office to the Eastern Caribbean located in Barbados to assist several islands in the Eastern Caribbean (including Barbados) with perennial Sargassum Seaweed management.

Agreements
As of 2009, Barbadian and Japanese officials have been negotiating the details of a bilateral Double-Taxation Agreement (DTA) treaty.

A total solar eclipse took place at the Moon's descending node of the orbit on March 8–9, 2016. If viewed from east of the International Date Line (for instance from Hawaii), the eclipse took place on March 8 (Tuesday) (local time) and elsewhere on March 9 (Wednesday). A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's and the apparent path of the Sun and Moon intersect, blocking all direct sunlight and turning daylight into darkness; the Sun appears to be black with a halo around it. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. The eclipse of March 8–9, 2016 had a magnitude of 1.0450 visible across an area of Pacific Ocean, which started in the Indian Ocean, and ended in the northern Pacific Ocean.

It was the 52nd eclipse of the 130th Saros cycle, which began with a partial eclipse on August 20, 1059, and will conclude with a partial eclipse on October 25, 2394.

The eclipse was clearly visible in many parts of Indonesia, including Central Sulawesi and Ternate, but obscured by clouds and smokes in Palembang, the largest city on the path of totality. The eclipse coincided with Nyepi, a public holiday in Indonesia and the end of the Balinese saka calendar. Because Nyepi is normally a day of silence, Muslims in Bali had to be given special dispensation to attend special prayer services during the eclipse.

Path of the eclipse

On March 9, 2016, a large area of the Pacific, covering Indonesia, Borneo, but also large parts of Southeast Asia and Australia, witnessed a partial solar eclipse. It was total in multiple islands of Indonesia, three atolls of the Federated States of Micronesia (Eauripik, Woleai and Ifalik) and the central Pacific, starting at sunrise over Sumatra and ending at sunset north of Hawaii. In the Eastern Pacific Ocean, the totality exceeded a duration of more than 4 minutes.

In most parts of India and Nepal, the sunrise was partially eclipsed, and much of East Asia witnessed more than 50% partial eclipse.

The largest city along the path of totality was Palembang in southern Sumatra ( from Jakarta and  from Singapore).

In order to watch the total solar eclipse, Alaska Airlines adjusted the flight plan for Flight 870. The flight passed through the umbral shadow about  north of Hawaii.

The tinamou egg in Darwin's collection is an egg of the tinamou species and is the only specimen left in Darwin's collections during his HMS Beagle voyage. The egg has a large crack because Darwin put it in a box too small for it. It was rediscovered by volunteer Liz Wetton in February 2009, the 200th year of Darwin's birth, while she was sorting the egg collection in the zoology museum at the University of Cambridge.

Egypt–India relations are bilateral relations between Egypt and India. Modern Egypt–India relations go back to the contacts between Saad Zaghloul and Mahatma Gandhi on the common goals of their respective movements of independence. In 1955, Egypt under Gamal Abdel Nasser and India under Jawaharlal Nehru became the founders of the Non-Aligned Movement. During the 1956 War, Nehru stood supporting Egypt to the point of threatening to withdraw his country from the British Commonwealth. In 1967, following the Six-Day War, India supported Egypt and the Arabs. In 1977, New Delhi described the visit of President Anwar al-Sadat to Jerusalem as a "brave" move and considered the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel a primary step on the path of a just settlement of the Middle East problem. Major Egyptian exports to India include raw cotton, raw and manufactured fertilizers, oil and oil products, organic and non-organic chemicals, leather and iron products. Major imports into Egypt from India are cotton yarn, sesame, coffee, herbs, tobacco and lentils. The Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum is also currently negotiating the establishment of a natural gas-operated fertilizer plant with another Indian company. In 2004 the Gas Authority of India Limited, bought 15% of Egypt Nat Gas distribution and marketing company.

President Mubarak of Egypt visited India in 2008. During the visit he met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi visited India from 18 to 21 March 2013 as the head of a high-level delegation of ministers and business leaders, at a time when trade between the two sides has witnessed a record 30% jump.

Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi was honored as the Chief Guest for India's 2023 Republic Day  Parade celebrations. Representing the main branches of the Egyptian armed forces, 144 soldiers participated in India's 74th Republic Day parade.

Economic relations
India is the fourth largest trade partner of Egypt, after the US, Italy and Saudi Arabia.

Oil
In 2003, Indian giant Reliance signed a contract with the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) to import 8 shipments of crude oil in 2003. Two years preceding the contract, they had imported shipments from Egypt. In August 2004, the Indian company GAIL procured 15% of the Egyptian Company Nat Gas which deals with marketing and distributing natural gas in Egypt.

Egyptian and Indian ministers of petroleum met in 2004 in Egypt to discuss the prospect of investment and purchase of oil and gas from Egypt.

Power
In 2008, India's KEC International Limited, received its largest order worth  from Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company. The order was funded through the European Investment Bank and the Egyptian National Bank. The order included design, supply and construction of power transmission towers and laying of 196 kilometres of transmission lines in Egypt. It was completed on a turnkey basis within a period 24 months. This, however, was not the first time. KEC International has been laying power transmission lines in Egypt for more than 40 years. Recently, KEC International was engaged in a  contract for supply of overhead transmission towers for the Egypt–Jordan Transmission Line.

Investments
In 2011, Egyptian investment in India was at about US$30 million. El Sewedy Group, an Egyptian company, manufactures electric metres in India. Another Egyptian company, Orascom Telecom, used to have 10% stake in the then Hutchinson-Essar which has since been bought by Vodafone

The current Indian investment in Egypt stands at US$2.5 billion in about 45 projects. Alexandria Carbon Black, the Alexandria Fibre Co, Dabur India's production facility for its cosmetics line, Niletex, Auto Tech Engineering, Marico's acquisition of two hair care brands and the Sanmar Group's acquisition of a unit of Trust Chemicals of Egypt represent some of the main Indian investments in Egypt. GAIL has equity and management stake in two gas distribution ventures in Fayoum and Cairo as well as in Natgas. In April 2007, OVL and its partner IPR Red Sea Inc announced a significant oil field discovery in the North Ramadan Concession in the Gulf of Suez and reported a second discovery in November 2008, though these deposits were later found to be commercially unviable. In March 2008, Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Ltd (GSPC) signed a Concession Agreement for two oil and gas exploration blocks in Egypt. (The two exploration blocks are North Hap'y and South Diyur. N Hap'y is an offshore block located in the Mediterranean Sea and S Diyur is an onshore block located in the Western Desert). GSPC subsequently acquired three more exploration blocks in the Red Sea region in 2010. Satyam Computers and Wipro have set up global delivery centres in Cairo. The Oberoi Group has been managing a hotel and Nile cruises; Kirloskar Brothers assemble diesel engines and irrigation pump sets in Egypt; Ranbaxy has an Egyptian subsidiary for manufacturing pharmaceutical formulations; Ashok Leyland, Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra & Mahindra are marketing their vehicles in Egypt, and Bajaj Auto dominated the three-wheelers market.

This fifth annual Sun Bowl featured the Utah Utes and the New Mexico Lobos in a postseason bowl game for both teams and the final game of the 1938 college football season.

Background
New Mexico was champion of the Border Conference while Utah was champion of the Mountain States Conference. The game was touted as the most evenly matched of the five major bowl games of the 1938 season. This was also the first meeting between the two schools and the first bowl game for either school.

Game summary
Nevertheless, the Utes dominated from the start, scoring three first-half touchdowns, with a Tom Pace touchdown run and two Ray Peterson touchdowns, including a 1-yard run on fourth-down. In the second half, New Mexico had numerous opportunities to close the gap following Utah turnovers but their aerial attack couldn't capitalize, being held to 59 yards passing and four interceptions, not even reaching Utah's 40 the whole game.  Utah, on the other hand, racked up 366 yards rushing, and outgained the Lobos 384–212, adding in a Clarance Gehrke touchdown late to make the final score 26–0, the first ever shutout in Sun Bowl history.

Scoring summary

First quarter
Utah: Tom Pace 15-yard run (Bernard McGarry kick)
Utah: Ray Peterson 60-yard interception return (Bernard McGarry kick)
Second quarter
Utah: Ray Peterson 1-yard run (kick failed)
Fourth quarter
Utah: Clarence Gehrke 10-yard run (kick failed)

Statistics

Aftermath
New Mexico returned to the Sun Bowl twice in the next decade (1944 and 1946). Utah did not return to the Sun Bowl until 2011.

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Oregon, sorted by type and name. In 2019, Oregon had a total summer capacity of 16,787 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 62,258 GWh.  The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 48.7% hydroelectric, 33.7% natural gas, 10.6% wind, 4.1% coal, 1.5% biomass, 1.1% solar, and 0.3% geothermal.  Small-scale solar, including customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 227 GWh to the state's electrical grid.  This compares as about one-third of the amount generated by Oregon's utility-scale photovoltaic plants.

During 2019, Oregon was one of the top-five U.S. states in its share of renewable electricity generation.  It was the second largest generator of hydroelectric power after the state of Washington. Oregon ranks third in the nation behind California and Nevada for its geothermal generation potential.

Nuclear power stations
The Trojan Nuclear Power Plant generated 1,095 MW of electricity during years 1976-1992.  Decommissioning and removal of the nuclear components was completed in 2006.  Oregon had no utility-scale plants that used fissile material as a fuel in 2019.

Cajamarca–Cañaris Quechua (locally called Kichwa or Runashimi, like other Quechua varieties) is a branch of Quechua spoken in northern Peru, consisting primarily of Cajamarca Quechua (Kashamarka, also known as Linwa), and Lambayeque Quechua (also known as Ferreñafe, Inkawasi-Kañaris Quechua), near the towns of Cajamarca and Cañaris in the Cajamarca and Lambayeque regions. Cajamarca and Lambayeque Quechua have 94% lexical similarity and are mutually intelligible. Adelaar (2004) includes the dialect of Lincha District, far to the south on the border of the Lima and Huancavelica regions.

Cajamarca–Cañaris Quechua is divergent from other varieties; although traditionally classified as a member of Quechua II-A, some (Adelaar) believe it to be a primary branch of Quechua II, and others (Landerman, Taylor, Heggarty) analyze it as not straightforwardly classifiable within the traditional QI vs. QII schema at all, and thus potentially a primary branch of its own. Félix Quesada published the first grammar and dictionary in 1976.

According to the UNESCO World Atlas of Languages in Danger, Cajamarca Quechua is severely endangered.

Stian Herlofsen Finne-Grønn (31 August 1869 – 1 November 1963) was a  Norwegian lawyer, archivist, genealogist and museum director.

Biography
He was born in the town of Risør  in Aust-Agder, Norway. He was the son of engineer Samuel Grønn (1838–1898) and Jacobine Finne (1845–1912). In October 1900 he married Margrethe Borchgrevink (1873–1963), a daughter of Sofie Borchgrevink. They had the sons Hans Finne-Grønn, a painter, and Jørgen Finne-Grønn, an ambassador.

He attended the Royal Drafting School (Den Kongelige Tegneskole)  in Christiania (now Oslo) graduating examen artium  in 1888. He worked as an assistant architect in Christianssand for several years.   He graduated  cand.jur.   from Det Kongelige Frederiks Universitet (now University of Oslo) in 1899.  He was a secretary in Statistics Norway from 1900 to 1907, then worked in the National Archival Services of Norway from 1907 to 1914. From 1914 to 1939 he worked in the archival services of the city of Oslo. He also had an early involvement with what is today known as Oslo City Museum, which developed from the organization Foreningen Det gamle Christiania in 1905. He became curator of this organization in 1912, and was the director from 1920 to 1949.

His first genealogical work was about lineages in his native Risør, and was published in several volumes between 1895 and 1901.  In 1906 he created the periodical Norsk tidsskrift for genealogi, personalhistorie, biografi og litteraturhistorie, which was Norway's first periodical on genealogy. Editors were Finne-Grønn, Erik Andreas Thomle and Christoffer Morgenstierne Munthe. Norway did not have a national genealogical society, rather there was a Dano-Norwegian organization Samfundet for dansk-norsk Genealogi og Personalhistorie. Finne-Grønn chaired the Norwegian branch from 1919 to 1920. In 1926 Finne-Grønn founded the Norwegian Genealogical Society together with Munthe and Sigurd Segelcke Meidell, among others. He was the first chairman  from 1926 to 1929, and as the organization launched a new periodical Norsk Slektshistorisk Tidsskrift, Finne-Grønn edited it from 1926 to 1936 and from 1947 to his death in 1963.

Finne-Grønn was decorated as a Knight, First Class of the Order of St. Olav in 1945. In 1942 he was created an honorary member of the Norwegian Genealogical Society and the Genealogical Society of Finland. A festschrift  was issued in his honor at the time of his seventy-fifth birthday. He died  in Oslo and was buried at Vestre gravlund.

The Merstham and Quarry tunnels are two neighbouring railway tunnels on the Brighton Main Line between Merstham and Coulsdon (formerly Stoats Nest) in Surrey, Great Britain.

The Merstham Tunnel was the first to be built, with construction commencing in 1838 and being opened on 12 July 1841. Built by the London and Brighton Railway (L&BR), it formed a key element of the original route between London and Brighton. Nearly sixty years after the Merstham Tunnel's completion, the Quarry Tunnel was built amid tensions between the South Eastern Railway (SER) and the London Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR). The Quarry Tunnel bypasses the SER stations of Coulsdon South, Merstham and Redhill, and thus has been mostly used by fast trains, while the Merstham Tunnel is used by stopping services instead.

On 24 September 1905, the Merstham Tunnel was the location of the first murder on Britain's railways, that being of Mary Sophia Money. Both tunnels were electrified via the installation of a third rail system by the Southern Railway during 1932, after which the route has been largely used by electric traction. Both tunnels have continued to be used through to the present day.

Merstham Tunnel

The original tunnel through the North Downs was constructed for the London and Brighton Railway (L&BR), forming a key element for conveying rail traffic between London and Brighton. Prior to construction commencing, a total of six routes, including two via the Merstham Gap, was considered; the selected route, chosen after a formal Parliamentary enquiry, was reportedly unexpected to be successful. Even still, the route was modified somewhat allegedly on the account of objections raised by of local landowners. A surveying platform was completed in August 1838 to assist the construction; it remains in-situ to the present day.

During 1838, work on Merstham Tunnel commenced under the supervision of the engineer John Urpeth Rastrick, and was completed within two years. It was bored through chalk, and featured a total of twelve vertical shafts, up which the spoil was raised to the surface in skips by means of horse-drawn winches. Originally, the tunnel had been intended to have a length of 2,013 yards (1,841 metres, or 1.14 miles), but it was realigned midway though construction, shortening it to 1,830 yards (1,673 metres or 1.04 miles) long. The two-mile railway cutting to the north of the tunnel is reportedly one of the largest in Europe having a depth of 100 feet (30 metres) at the northern entrance to the tunnel. Its construction involved the removal of more than a million cubic yards (800,000 cubic metres) of chalk.

Brick-lined portals were built at each end of the tunnel. An unusual measure, which was intended to boost the travelling public's perception of its safety, the interior of the tunnel was whitewashed and lit by gas lamps, the latter being supplied from a small gas works south of Merstham station. However, this practice was soon abandoned as the large quantities of soot emitted by steam locomotives prevented effective illumination of the tunnel anyway. On 12 July 1841, the Merstham Tunnel was officially opened to traffic. At the time of its completion, it was considered to be an engineering marvel of the era.

Although the tunnel was built by the L&BR, it was located on a section of line between Croydon and Redhill that was to be shared with the South Eastern Railway (SER), when they commenced services on their route to Dover in 1842. On 16 July 1844, the SER refunded half of the construction cost of the joint line and took ownership of the section between Purley and Redhill, including the Merstham Tunnel.

On 24 September 1905, the Merstham Tunnel was the site of the unsolved murder of Mary Sophia Money; the incident is believed to be the first murder on a train anywhere in Britain. Shortly after the incident, marks were discovered on the tunnel wall, indicating that Miss Money had been involved in a violent struggle and had been thrown to her death from a moving train.

On 29 January 1989, a passenger train collided with an out-of-gauge engineering train travelling on the opposite line inside Merstham Tunnel; damage was sustained to the passenger train's traction equipment along with several smashed windows.

Quarry Tunnel

The sharing of the main line caused a great deal of friction between the SER and the London Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR), the successor of the L&BR, throughout the 19th century. Eventually, the LB&SCR gained Parliamentary approval to build its own independent line between Coulsdon North and Earlswood, which bypassed the SER stations of Coulsdon South, Merstham and Redhill. This involved the construction of a second tunnel to the east of the original, and 25 feet (7.6 metres) above the level of the original. Since both routes form part of the Brighton Main Line, in order to differentiate them the former was called the "Redhill Line", whilst the new line became known as the "Quarry Line".

Quarry Tunnel is 2,113 yards (1,932 metres, or about 1.2 miles or 1 mile 1.6 chains) in length. It was constructed between 1896 and 1899, being formally opened on 8 November 1899. The contractors were Messrs Firbank, and the estimated cost was £85,000. The new tunnel was approached by a 100 ft deep cutting on the north side. Both Quarry Tunnel and the original Merstham Tunnel have been operated through to the twenty-first century; while the former is predominantly used by fast trains, services that stop at Redhill and Merstham have instead continued to use the older Merstham Tunnel.

Electrification
During 1932, the lines through both tunnels, along with the wider route, were electrified via the installation of a third rail system by the Southern Railway.

Knowing How to Know is a book by the writer Idries Shah published posthumously by Octagon Press in 1998. A paperback edition was published in 2000.

Shortly before he died, Shah stated that his books form a complete course that could fulfil the function he had fulfilled while alive. As such, Knowing How To Know can be read as part of a whole course of study.

Content

Knowing How To Know builds on the foundations laid in Shah's previous publications Learning How to Learn: Psychology and Spirituality in the Sufi Way and The Commanding Self. Some of the themes addressed in the book include the often unrecognised barriers which prevent knowledge and understanding and the necessary conditions and factors which must be present for learning to take place.

Reception

In a Sunday Telegraph review, Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing wrote of Knowing How To Know that it "needs attentive reading, if only because some of its contentions are startling and need time to think about . . . This would not be a book by Shah if it were not often very funny. In short, those who know Shah's work will not need to be told it is a cornucopia of very various delights; those who do not may find it a fascinating introduction to the Sufi view of life."

The psychologist and writer Robert Ornstein stated that the book "presented a blueprint of the human mental structure.

Psychology Today described Knowing How To Know as "A major psychological and cultural event of our time"  and the New York Times review commented that "One is immediately forced to use one's mind in a new way."

The Madhyamakāvatāra () is a text by Candrakīrti (600–c. 650) on the Mādhyamaka school of Buddhist philosophy. Candrakīrti also wrote an auto-commentary to the work, called the Madhyamakāvatārabhasya.

It is traditionally considered as a commentary on the meaning of Nagarjuna's Mūlamadhyamakakārikā and the Ten Stages Sutra (Daśabhūmika Sūtra). As such, within the Tibetan Buddhist canon this text is classified as commentarial literature.

The text
The Madhyamakāvatāra relates the Mādhyamaka doctrine of śūnyatā to the "spiritual discipline" (Sanskrit: sādhanā) of a bodhisattva. The Madhyamakāvatāra contains eleven chapters, where each addresses one of the ten pāramitās or "perfections" fulfilled by bodhisattvas as they traverse the 'ten stages' (Sanskrit: bhūmi) to buddhahood, which is the final chapter.

Commentarial literature

The Madhyamakāvatārabhasya is Candrakīrti's own auto-commentary to the text.
The Madhyamakāvatāraṭīkā is an elaborate 11th century commentary by the Indian scholar Jayānanda.
Jamgon Ju Mipham Gyatso (1846–1912) wrote a commentary on the Madhyamakavatara entitled: dbu ma la 'jug pa'i 'grel pa zla ba'i zhal lung dri me shel phreng; the title has been rendered into English by Duckworth (2008: p. 232) as: Immaculate Crystal Rosary and by Padmakara Translations in  it is titled The Word of Chandra: The Necklace of Spotless Crystal

Gwandara is a West Chadic language, and the closest relative of Hausa. Its several dialects are spoken in northern Nigeria, predominantly in the north central region of Nigeria by the Gwandara people and some settlers who are about 30,000 people. They are found in large numbers in Abuja, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi and a resettlement town of New Karshi, Karu LGA, Nasarawa State. New Karshi has a Gwandara first class emir Muhammadu Bako III (PhD).

The Gwandara people are one of the indigenous tribes of FCT Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria.

The Nimbia dialect has a duodecimal numeral system (they count in base 12), whereas other dialects, such as Karshi below, have decimal systems:

It is thought that Nimbia, which is isolated from the rest of Gwandara, acquired its duodecimal system from neighboring East Kainji languages. It is duodecimal even to powers of base twelve:
The Nimbia 12 number set number system is known for making division easier.

The ROH World Championship is a professional wrestling world championship owned by the Ring of Honor (ROH) promotion. The championship was created and debuted on July 27, 2002, at ROH's Crowning a Champion event. Originally called the ROH Championship, the title was renamed to the ROH World Championship in May 2003 after the title was defended outside the United States for the first time—earlier that month, then-champion Samoa Joe had defeated The Zebra Kid in London, England, at the Frontiers of Honor event co-promoted with the Frontier Wrestling Alliance. On August 12, 2006, the ROH World Championship was unified with the ROH Pure Championship after then-champion Bryan Danielson defeated ROH Pure Champion Nigel McGuinness in Liverpool, England. The Pure Championship was deactivated after this match.

ROH World Championship reigns are determined by professional wrestling matches, in which competitors are involved in scripted rivalries. These narratives create feuds between the various competitors, which cast them as villains and heroes. Some reigns were held by champions using a ring name, while others used their real name. Reigns that were won on pay-per-view events aired on tape delay up to weeks or months apart. Reigns that were won at live events were released on DVD. The inaugural champion was Low Ki, whom ROH recognized to have become the champion after defeating Christopher Daniels, Spanky, and Doug Williams in a four-way 60-minuted Iron Man match on July 27, 2002, at ROH's Crowning a Champion event.

As of  , there have been 39 reigns among 31 wrestlers with two vacancies. Adam Cole holds the record for most reigns, with three. Jay Lethal has the most defenses, with 41; Kyle O'Reilly has the least, with 0. At 645 days, Samoa Joe's reign is the longest in the title's history; Kyle O'Reilly's reign is the shortest at 33 days. Eddie Kingston is the current champion in his first reign. He defeated Claudio Castagnoli on September 20, 2023, at AEW Grand Slam in Flushing, Queens, New York.

Nicole Resch (born 1975) is a German jurist and former secretary general of the International Biathlon Union (IBU). She left her position during a corruption scandal investigation of her and the IBU President.

Biography

Resch started cross-country skiing at the age of eight years and switched to biathlon at the age of 12 years being trained by Manfred Geyer. She ended her sports life early and studied law at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg. After the second state examination she underwent a special alumni program which focussed on the Olympic sports in the field of sport management and sport law.

She started her career at the IBU as assistant of secretary general Michael Geistlinger in 2007. After his leave she became his commissionary successor as chief of the IBU office. She was secretary general of the IBU from 1 December 2008.

In 2018 the IBU underwent a corruption scandal and she was accused of accepting bribes from Russia. She and the IBU President left their positions that year after Austrian and Norwegian authorities announced criminal investigations into their conduct. According to a January 2021 report commissioned by biathlon’s new leadership and resulting from a two-year investigation, she improperly defended Russia's athletes, assailed its critics, and blocked efforts to root out doping by Russia's teams.

William Henry Balgarnie (12 May 1869 – 15 July 1951) was a schoolmaster at Elmfield College, Woodbridge School and The Leys School, and was the inspiration for the character Mr. Chips in the book Goodbye, Mr. Chips, written by one of his students at The Leys, James Hilton.

Life
He was born at Woolwich, the son of a Presbyterian minister. Balgarnie studied at, and taught at Elmfield College before going to The Leys. In the 1890s he would gather with other Old Elmfieldians in London for a country walk followed by tea, which was invariably accompanied with recitations and ballads around the piano.

Balgarnie was the first Elmfieldian M.A. (1891),  and went from Elmfield to Fowey Grammar School, in Cornwall.

In 1894, Balgarnie was awarded a sizarship at Trinity College, Cambridge, from which he duly graduated with a first-class honours degree in classics. There he met W. W. Gibberd, a mathematician, through the Cambridge University Hare and Hounds, the cross-country club.

What must be unique to Balgarnie is that he was followed at Trinity by his elder brother, Edward, who entered Trinity in 1897 at the age of 30.
From 1898 to 1900 he worked as an Assistant Master at Woodbridge school. And from 1900 till 1929 he was an Assistant and House Master at Leys school, and for one year he served as a Deputy Head Master (1929–1930).

He was associated with three universities: he had MAs from London and Cambridge, and had worked for a year or two as an assistant Professor of Greek at Glasgow University under the young Gilbert Murray. His academic output included translations of Sophocles, Euripides and Lysias. He edited classical works, including Xenophon Anabasis.

At The Leys School in Cambridge he was senior classical master, and, for a short period, deputy head master, over a period of more than fifty years.

He died at Porthmadog, Wales, after a heart attack.

Leysian links with Elmfield College
Sir Dyson Mallinson was a governor at both Elmfield and The Leys.

Balgarnie was educated at and himself taught at Elmfield. One Elmfieldian who followed him to The Leys was Harold Rose.

In popular culture
Among Balgarnie's students was James Hilton, who said he based the character Mr. Chipping in his novel Goodbye Mr. Chips on Balgarnie.

Vice Admiral Joseph Denman (23 June 1810  – 26 November 1874) was a British naval officer, most noted for his actions against the slave trade as a commander of HMS Wanderer of the West Africa Squadron.

Early life

Denman was born on 23 June 1810, the son of Thomas Denman, 1st Baron Denman, Lord Chief Justice and a noted abolitionist.

Military career

Joseph entered the Royal Navy on 7 April 1823, and was promoted to Lieutenant in 1831 and commander in 1835.

In 1834, Lieutenant Joseph Denman commanded a prize crew aboard the captured slave ship Maria da Gloria. He first sailed her to the Anglo-Brazilian Mixed Commission Court at Rio de Janeiro, which declined jurisdiction on the grounds that the ship was Portuguese, not Brazilian. Denman then had to sail back across the Atlantic to the Anglo-Portuguese court in Sierra Leone. Seventy-eight of the 400 or so slaves on board died during the back-and-forth, which also severely debilitated the survivors. Denman later testified before parliament about this voyage, stating that he had "witnessed the most dreadful sufferings that human beings can endure".

On 26 December 1836 Commander the Honourable Joseph Denman commissioned the brig-sloop HMS Scylla for the Lisbon Station. He remained in command of her there until 17 November 1839.

Suppressing the slave trade
In 1839 Denman took command of the West Africa Squadron's brig-sloop, HMS Wanderer. On 5 April 1840, the Wanderers boats seized the American slaver Eliza Davidson, which was subsequently condemned in British and Spanish Mixed Commission Court at Sierra Leone. On 12 May, Denman took the Josephina, a Portuguese schooner fitted for the slave trade, as a prize. On 3 June, he took the schooner São Paolo de Loando as prize. On 9 June he took another schooner fitted for the slave trade, the Maria Rosaria. On 3 July he took the Pombinha, out of Havanah, and fitted for the slave trade; on 29 December 1842, a prize court awarded Wanderers crew a tonnage bounty and moiety of proceeds for Pombinha.

In 1840, while negotiating for the release of two Britons, Denman also negotiated a treaty abolishing the slave trade in the territory of the Gallinas, liberating 841 slaves. At the same time he destroyed the barracoons (large slave-holding depots) on the banks of the river. The Admiralty initially praised his actions and promoted him to Captain in August 1841, and he left Wanderer on 23 August. Lord Palmerston stated, "Taking a wasp’s nest…is more effective than catching the wasps one by one". However, the Spanish slavers sued him personally for damages. By 1842 the Admiralty had banned the anti-slavery squadron's policy of blockading rivers and the destruction of property.

On his return to England, Denman was on half-pay, awaiting the outcome of the court case. He was active, writing a manual for the squadron, called Instructions for the Guidance of Her Majesty’s Naval Officers Employed in the Suppression of the Slave Trade, which was to be issued to every serving officer. Captain Joseph Denman has been described as one of the most successful and passionate officers to serve on the West Africa squadron and he has been credited with improving the efficiency of the squadron more than any other serving officer. In 1848 the court reached a final decision in the case Buron vs. Denman, one of the last cases in English & Welsh law to regard slaves as property or cargo, finding in Denman's favour as he had been operating as an agent of the British state's policy of suppressing the slave trade when he "trespassed to goods" when destroying the barracoon, rather than as an individual.

Later life and career

Denman ended his career as Rear Admiral in command of the Pacific station from 1864 until his retirement in April 1866. He was promoted to Vice Admiral in retirement. He died on 26 November 1874.

Family
Denman married on 12 February 1844 Grace Watts-Russell, youngest daughter of Jesse Watts-Russell, MP, of Ilam Hall, Staffordshire. She died in London on 18 December 1902. His brother George Denman was a politician and High Court judge.

Legacy
 Denman Island, off the Coast of British Columbia, Canada, is named after him, as is Denman Street in Vancouver.

Platychasmatinae is a small East Asian subfamily of the moth family Notodontidae. Only two genera are placed here at present:

 Cyphanta Walker, 1865
 Platychasma Butler, 1881

Though not all Notodontidae have been assigned to subfamilies yet, it is unlikely that many of these genera incertae sedis will turn out to be Platychasmatinae, as thus family is a rather ancient and distinct group. In fact, a newly discovered species of Platychasma is somewhat intermediate between the two genera, suggesting that this subfamily might actually be monotypic.

Al-Ard (, "The Land") was a  Palestinian political movement made up of Arab citizens of Israel active between 1958 and some time in the 1970s which attracted international attention. Following unsuccessful efforts to secure registration of the organization as an Israeli NGO and secure it a publishing permit, it was outlawed in 1964. The political movement's goal was, according to political historian David McDowall, "to achieve complete equality and social justice for all classes of people in Israel" and "to find a just solution for the Palestine problem as a whole, and as an indivisible unit." Al-Ard's disappearance as a movement was linked both to governmental and popular resistance, with the Israeli Community Party denouncing the group and Palestinian Arab communities inside of Israel concerned that Al-Ard might destroy them.

Thomas Bridges (12 November 1853 – 4 June 1939) was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland in the seat of Nundah (21 March 1896 – 18 May 1907) as a member of the Ministerial Party  and subsequently as a member of the Liberal Party (2 October 1909 – 16 March 1918).

Early life

Thomas Bridges was born on 12 November 1853 at Nundah, then known as German Station, to a local farmer, George Bridges and his wife, Mary Brightman, both immigrants from England. Thomas was the first of their Australian-born children, having already three born in England. His father built the Kedron Brook Hotel, a popular "watering hole" halfway between Brisbane and Sandgate, and constructed a bypass in Sandgate Road around Donkin's Hill, which led to the development of the village at German Station.

Bridges and a number of his siblings were amongst the first students enrolled at the new German Station National School, when it opened in 1865.

Initially Bridges followed in his father's footsteps as a farmer with interests in fruit and dairy, but later focussed exclusively on fruit, including pineapples, contributing to the success of fruit growing in the Nundah-Zillmere district.

Bridges married Margaret Elizabeth Lee on 17 July 1873 at the home of her parents, Rose Hill Farm near Cabbage Tree Creek, now known as Boondall. They had 13 children, namely: Emma Jane, Amelia Mary, Thomas George, Joseph Brightman, Charles Josiah, Margaret Mary Elizabeth, Joseph Silas, Samuel Brightman, Eva Violet Annie, Alice Maud Mildred, Laura Eunice Elsie, Willie and Lucy Alvena, of whom two died as infants.

Political life

Bridges made his first foray into public life as a member of the Nundah Divisional Board from 1883 to 1896, being chosen as its chairman on three occasions.

Being a popular and well-regarded local farmer, Bridges stood for the Queensland Legislative Assembly in the 1896 colonial election as a Ministerialist, beating the incumbent George Agnew by 60 votes in the electoral district of Nundah. Being a farmer accustomed to an early start to his working day, the late night sittings of Parliament took him by surprise. On his first late night sitting, he had to ask to be excused as he did not wish to miss the last train back to Nundah.

In the 1904 election, Bridges faced a formidable opponent in the person of Sir Arthur Rutledge. Rutledge had been a Wesleyan minister in New England and solicitor in Brisbane, before entering the Queensland parliament, where he rose to the office of Attorney-General and accepted a knighthood in 1903. As part of his strategy to become Premier after the 1904 election, Rutledge decided to contest an electorate closer to Brisbane, and chose the semi-rural seat of Nundah which, he assumed, would be easily won by a man of his political experience, especially as it was already held by a fellow Ministerialist. Many large business houses backed Rutledge, as did the editor of the Brisbane Courier, of which Rutledge's son-in-law Charles Brunsdon Fletcher was the editor of the newspaper until 1903. His public meetings were packed with prominent religious and political leaders, in contrast to a low-key campaign run by Bridges based on his community service and commitment to keep the cost of railway tickets low. Contrary to every prediction, Bridges won the election by 253 votes. This humiliating loss ended Rutledge's political career, and he accepted an appointment as district judge.

This election of 1904 had proved to be very personal. In addition to the internecine offensive by a member of his own Ministerial Party, Johann Leopold Zillmann, an old and now deceased friend and early resident of German Station, had been ejected from his Wesleyan ministry in New England by Rutledge in concert with disaffected members of his congregation.

Bridges decided to leave politics on 18 May 1907 at the following election, when he was succeeded in the seat by Richard Sumner.

Loyal local people persuaded Bridges to return to politics, and he stood against Sumner and won back his seat, as a member of the Liberal Party, serving from 2 October 1909 until 16 March 1918 when he finally retired.

Being a farmer, Bridges took particular interest in legislation related to farming, especially diseases in plants and extermination of flying foxes which raid fruit trees. He also advocated that local Chinese be repatriated to China, and supported the indentured labour of Kanakas in the cane fields of Queensland.

Although a long-term parliamentarian, Bridges was no great orator and was often described as unsophisticated. However he gained a reputation of tirelessly pursuing government departments over issues reported by his constituents, and served his party for many years as Whip. After his retirement, he was reported to be disillusioned with politics.

Later life

Bridges' wife Margaret died on 15 January 1938, and was buried in the Nundah Cemetery.

Less than 18 months later, on 4 June 1939 while sitting and talking with a sick friend in St Martin's Hospital in Brisbane, Bridges suddenly fell backwards and died. Bridges was buried the following day beside his wife.

The original headstone has not survived, but a modern plaque reads:
