Ola Thommessen (23 September 1851 – 10 February 1942) was a Norwegian newspaper editor. He was the long-time editor of Verdens Gang and Tidens Tegn.

Early and personal life
Olaus Anthon Thommessen Holtan was born in Borre as the son of Thommes Kristoffersen Holtan (1817–1901) and Hella Marie Andersdatter (1824–1893). He was married twice, and was the father of newspaper editor Rolf Thommessen.

Thommessen studied at Heltberg's "student factory", and took the examen artium in 1870. He started studying philology, but abandoned the education to study law, finishing his cand.jur. degree in 1877.

Professional career
Thommessen started working for Dagbladet in 1875. He worked for Verdens Gang from 1876, and as editor-in-chief from 1878 to 1910. Under his leadership Verdens Gang became the main publication for the Liberal Party, and a modern newspaper of high standard. The leadership period included the period of political turmoil in the 1880s. The newspaper supported the Liberal Party and Johan Sverdrup, and their endeavors to form a cabinet. Thommessen frequently corresponded with the writer Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson at this time, and was also a friend of Lars Holst, Oda Krohg, Mathilde Schjøtt as well as Maren, Ossian and Ernst Sars. Thommessen was a controversial person, and he is targeted in Knut Hamsun's novel Redaktør Lynge (1893), which is regarded as a personal attack on Thommessen, one of the strongest in the history of Norwegian literature. The novel still received good reviews in Verdens Gang.

Not long after the Liberal Party succeeded, and Johan Sverdrup became Prime Minister, Thommessen became estranged from the party. Around the turn of the century he instead advocated a bourgeois coalition in light of the growing socialist movement. Still, many of his political views aligned with those of the Liberal Party, such as universal suffrage for men which was introduced in 1898.

Thommessen left Verdens Gang in 1910, and founded the newspaper Tidens Tegn, which he led until 1917. The incidents leading to his resignation, a conflict with lawyer and share owner Ole Madsen, made him a legend. Among the outcomes was the formation of Norwegian Press Association in 1910. Tidens Tegn soon became one of the country's most important and largest newspapers, and many important cultural personalities were among the contributors, including Sven Elvestad, Olaf Bull, Hans E. Kinck, Herman Wildenvey, Nils Collett Vogt and Selma Lagerlöf. In 1920 his sons took over as editors of Tidens Tegn. The newspaper bought Verdens Gang in 1923.

He was a member of the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights.

In the interwar period Thommessen was known for his anti-communism. He was skeptic to the Norwegian Parliament, and advocated a strong bourgeois leadership as a leading member of Fedrelandslaget. Thommessen also wrote several books.

He died in 1942, 91 years old, surviving both his sons.

Château Tournefeuille is a wine estate in Lalande-de-Pomerol, an appellation in Bordeaux near Pomerol and St. Emilion.

Location
Château Tournefeuille is located in the village of Néac in the commune of Lalande-de-Pomerol, approximately 7 km from the town of St. Emilion and 7 km from the town of Libourne.  The château and chai are situated on a hill atop the valley of the Barbanne, a small river that separates Lalande-de-Pomerol from the more famous wine-producing appellation of Pomerol.  Just on the other side of the Barbanne from Tournefeuille lies Château Pétrus, one of Bordeaux's best-known wine estates. The vineyard of Tournefeuille encompasses 18 hectares.

History
Wine has been produced from Tournefeuille's vineyards for over two hundred years.  The presence of the vineyard is indicated on the 1785 Beyleme map.
Tournefeuille was owned and run by the Sautarel family for several decades.  In 1998, Tournefeuille was purchased by the childhood friends François Petit and Francis Cambier and their respective families. François Petit's son Emeric runs the chateau day-to-day.  The Petit and Cambier families have made significant investments to improve the wine, including the introduction of more natural viticultural techniques and a more stringent selection of grapes.  La Revue du Vin de France noted that the property is “in good hands” with the new owners and that “their efforts have started to bear fruit… the first vintages of the new century are of a quality that bears no resemblance whatsoever to what was produced there until recently.”

Terroir and winemaking
Tournefeuille's vineyard is defined by its southwestern-facing slope.  The soil on the slope features a high clay content while the plots at top of the hill are more gravelly, a terroir typical of the Pomerol appellation.  The vines, the majority of which are more than 30 years old, are split between the slope and the hilltop.
The wine is composed of 70% merlot and 30% cabernet franc.  Vinification is performed in a concrete thermo-regulated fermenting room.  The wine is then aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.  All bottling occurs at the château.
Tournefeuille offers a second wine, Rosalcy, which is produced from five hectares adjacent to Tournefeuille and is composed of 55% merlot and 45% cabernet franc.

Reviews and awards
Château Tournefeuille has garnered significant attention in the press in the last several years as the winemakers' investments in the château have begun to pay off.  In a May 2007 article on affordable wines from Bordeaux, The Wall Street Journal called the 2004 Château Tournefeuille "Soft and velvety, bursting with ripe fruit and balancing acidity, with a mineral undertone – especially after it's open a while – that adds complexity. Fetching. Drink now".

Esteemed British wine critic Jancis Robinson wrote of the 2007 vintage: "Toasty, slightly charred oak spice over cassis. Plenty of grip but not hard. Fresh finish."

A September 2005 article in Le Figaro Magazine entitled “The Beautiful Future of Lalande de Pomerol” said of the 2004:  "Château Tournefeuille possesses freshness and finesse which lingers over its beautiful long finish. This is a wine that will mature well."

The 2005 Tournefeuille won a gold medal at the Concours Mondial des Vins de Bordeaux in 2008.  The 2006 Tournefeuille received a silver medal at the Concours des Vins des Vignerons Independants in 2008.

This is why you're fat was a website featuring submitted photos of over-the-top and extremely indulgent food creations. The website of captioned pictures is subtitled "where dreams become heart attacks", and it has been covered by newspapers in the United States, Canada, and Germany. The website appears to be defunct as it has not been updated since June 2015. The URL now cannot load.

It was co-created by Richard Blakeley, video editor for Gawker Media, and Jessica Amason, Viral Media Editor for BuzzFeed. In just over a month since it was launched the website had an "astonishing" 10 million page views and its creators are "in talks to create a book version and exploring TV development deals."

Content of website
The items featured on the thisiswhyyourefat.com website had been described as "culinary Frankensteins" and "items with no nutritional value." They had included a 30 kg rice cereal square and other culinary creations with names like "The Homewrecker" (a deep-fried, mega hot dog with the works) and Meat Cake (a three-layer meatloaf patisserie iced with mashed potatoes and ketchup). Highlights of the website included the "30,000 Calorie Sandwich" made of minced beef, bacon, corn dogs, ham, pastrami, roast beef, bratwurst, Braunschweiger, turkey, fried mushrooms, with onion rings and five varieties of cheese, served on white bread, and the Mega Mel Burger made from 1½ pounds of beef, 1 pound of bacon, a quarter pound of cheese and "fixin's", as well as traditional ethnic dishes like fried chicken skin (gribenes), khachapuri, poutine, Welsh rarebit, and lechon kawali.

The dishes pictured caused one writer to be nauseated and to wonder, "How bad could a plate of fried chicken skin be? All the flavor of fried chicken, without the pesky chicken. (Squeal of delight) Is that Spam?!'" The fat content and health considerations are a concern; as one humor columnist remarked, "you probably shouldn't eat an Oreo with more than 30 layers of double-stuff cream precariously piled between its two chocolate wafers. Probably."

Expanding offline
In March 2009, it was announced that This Is Why You're Fat signed a book deal with HarperCollins' experimental imprint HarperStudio.

Edward Wellman Serrell (November 5, 1826 – April 25, 1906) was an American civil engineer during the mid 19th century. In 1861, during the American Civil War he helped raise a regiment of engineers from New York state, the 1st New York Volunteer Engineer Regiment for the Union Army, and was appointed colonel of the regiment. Later he was brevetted brigadier general. One of his more notable achievements during the war was his work on the "Marsh Battery" during the Second Battle of Charleston Harbor.

Early life

Serrell was born in London, England, on November 5, 1826.  He was the tenth of eleven children of William and Ann Serrell.  The family immigrated to New York in 1831, and as a result, Edward received his early education in the schools of New York City. He later took up civil engineering under the direction of his father and an older brother.  On April 6, 1848, he married Jane Pound, an English girl two years his senior.  They had four children.

Career
From 1845 up to the time of the Civil War, Serrell was engaged in railroad and bridge design and construction. He was, successively, assistant engineer to the commissioners of the Erie Railroad, and assistant to the chief of the US Army Corps of Topographical Engineers. He was the assistant engineer of the 1848 Panama Survey, where he located the route of the railroad between Aspinwall and Panama. He later had charge of the surveys for the Northern Railroad of New Hampshire, and was for a time the engineer of the Central Railroad of New Jersey. He prepared plans and supervised the construction of the suspension bridge across the Niagara River at Lewiston in 1850; superintended the construction of the bridge at Saint John, New Brunswick; and planned the bridge over the St. Lawrence River at Quebec.  He was later concerned with the building of the Hoosac Tunnel (1858), the Bristol Bridge over the Avon River in England, which had one of the longest spans in that country at that time, and with the Union Pacific Railroad.

During the Civil War, Colonel Serrell was in 126 actions.  He was the chief engineer of the Department of the South until the 10th Corps moved to the Army of the James.  He was the chief engineer of the 10th Corps and the Army of the James, and became chief of staff for that army, being brevetted a brigadier general.  He contributed many useful inventions including long wire, armor plate, impromptu gun carriages, and iron viaducts.  After the war, he published many reports on railroads and canals, was consulting engineer to many corporations, president of the Washington County Railroad, projected an interocean canal from San Blas to Pearl Island Harbor, and was the consulting engineer to the American Isthmus Ship Canal Company. He was listed as an honorary pallbearer at the funeral of Ulysses S. Grant. He even sketched his idea for a flying machine.

In 1879, during the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, Serrell was called upon as civil engineer to examine the plans and sections of the east river bridge, a new bridge from Brooklyn to New York City. He testified to the Assembly Sub-Committee on Commerce and Navigation, that the calculations of the assumed strength of the bridge were not accurate; and the effect of gales or wind would have upon the structure and upon foot passengers.

One daughter, Josephine, married Robert Powell Page Wainwright, a career U.S. Army cavalry officer.  Together they had three children including Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright IV of World War II fame and the namesake of Fort Wainwright in Alaska. Another daughter, Harriette, married Clarence Deems, an 1874 West Point graduate, in 1876 at General Serrell's home near the Academy. She died in 1885, but their son, Clarence, Jr. graduated from West Point in 1900.

His wife, Jane, died on August 29, 1896. They had four children, Edward William, Josephine Eva, Jesse Pound, and Harriette Marshall Serrell.  Serrell married a longtime family friend, Marion Seaton Roorbach, on September 3, 1900.  The New York Times reported at the time that he was "Lying on a sick bed, from which he may never arise", ill from an attack of gastritis, "too weak even to sit up." He did recover sufficiently to be moved to his wife's home on Staten Island. She died in 1904.

Death
Serrell died in Manhattan on April 25, 1906. He is buried at the Saint Luke's Cemetery in Rossville, New York.

The Blandford–Znajek process is a mechanism for the extraction of energy from a rotating black hole, introduced by Roger Blandford and Roman Znajek in 1977. This mechanism is the most preferred description of how astrophysical jets are formed around spinning supermassive black holes. This is one of the mechanisms that power quasars, or rapidly accreting supermassive black holes. Generally speaking, it was demonstrated that the power output of the accretion disk is significantly larger than the power output extracted directly from the hole, through its ergosphere. Hence, the presence (or not) of a poloidal magnetic field around the black hole is not determinant in its overall power output. It was also suggested that the mechanism plays a crucial role as a central engine for a gamma-ray burst.

Physics of the mechanism
As in the Penrose process, the ergosphere plays an important role in the Blandford–Znajek process. In order to extract energy and angular momentum from the black hole, the electromagnetic field around the hole must be modified by magnetospheric currents. In order to drive such currents, the electric field needs to not be screened, and consequently the vacuum field created within the ergosphere by distant sources must have an unscreened component. The most favored way to provide this is an e± pair cascade in a strong electric and radiation field. As the ergosphere causes the magnetosphere inside it to rotate, the outgoing flux of angular momentum results in extraction of energy from the black hole.

The Blandford–Znajek process requires an accretion disc with a strong poloidal magnetic field around a spinning black hole. The magnetic field extracts spin energy, and the power can be estimated as the energy density at the speed of light cylinder times area:

where B is the magnetic field strength,  is the Schwarzschild radius, and ω is the angular velocity.

The 1926 Ice Hockey European Championship was the 11th edition of the ice hockey tournament for European countries associated to the International Ice Hockey Federation.

The tournament was played between January 11, and January 19, 1926, in Davos, Switzerland, and it was won by Switzerland.

Nine teams entered the competition and were divided into three groups of three for the preliminary round.  The preliminary round was scheduled over the first three days, the “qualification for the final round” was contested in one day, and the “final” round was scheduled over the last three days.  The tournament was however extended by an additional two days to accommodate a three-way tie-break round, which became necessary due to the three-way tie on points for the gold medal.

USS Kumigan (SP-97) was the proposed name and designation for an armed yacht acquired in 1917 that never saw active service in the United States Navy.

Kumigan was built as a civilian motor yacht in 1917 by the Great Lakes Boat Building Corporation. The U.S. Navy acquired her on 8 May 1917 from her owner, Albert Pack of East Chicago, Illinois, for use as a patrol vessel during World War I.

Kumigan was assigned the section patrol designation SP-97 and was enrolled in the Naval Coastal Defense Reserve on 10 May 1917. However, she was never commissioned, saw no active U.S. Navy service, and was returned to her owner early in the summer of 1917.

"Elegy XIX: To His Mistress Going to Bed", originally spelled "To His Mistris Going to Bed", is a poem written by the metaphysical poet John Donne.

The elegy was refused a licence for publishing in Donne's posthumous collection Poems in 1633, but was printed in an anthology, The Harmony of the Muses, in 1654. The poem is classified as one of Donne's love poems, "marked by an energetic, often bawdy wit, a new explicitness about sexual desire and experience, and an irreverent new attitude towards authority figures". Several poetic conventions, such as the blason, metaphysical conceit, neoplatonism and allusion are used by Donne in this work.

Summary
Throughout the poem, Donne's male speaker urges his mistress into bed. Donne's speaker fervently describes undressing and caressing his mistress, and at the end, the speaker reveals that he is fully unclothed and erect. The process of disrobing is followed from top to toe, centred on the belly and vulva, and each stage compares the beauty of dress as external decoration with the natural beauty of the undressed woman.

Poetic conventions
Donne's poem reinvents Petrarchan poetic conventions, which figured around the despair and heartache brought about by unattainable love. Donne's "Elegy XIX" was also influenced by Ovid's "Elegies", in which Ovid used wit and detachment in describing the male lover's aggressive pursuit of women." By combining Petrarch's technique of "wooing from afar" with Ovid's sexually aggressive language and style, Donne creates a parody of the conventional love sonnet, and an early specimen of libertine poetry.

Blazon
Ironically, Donne's speaker uses a blazon, or a record of virtues and excellencies to describe his mistress disrobing (Lines 5–18). While standard Petrarchan blazons were used to list a woman's honourable attributes, such as her beauty or chasteness, Donne's poem "removes [the] woman from the pedestal on which she had been adored", placing an erotic emphasis on an otherwise virtuous list. Instead of speaking of his mistress's virtues, Donne's speaker focuses solely on her appearance, which demonstrates that the speaker is looking for a coital experience with love.

Allusion
The poem is peppered with metaphorical allusion, used to further describe sexual imagery. In Line 21, Donne refers to "Mahomets Paradice", which was peopled with beautiful women ready to satisfy the carnal desires of the male inhabitants. Similarly, Donne mentions that "Gems which you women use/Are like Atalanta's balls, cast in men's views" (35–6); in Greek mythology, Atalanta rejected all suitors who could not defeat her in a race; Hippomenes eventually defeated her by dropping apples along the race trail, which Atalanta stopped to pick up. Donne's connection between religious allusion and eroticism creates a paradox, which suggests that Donne sees physical love as being just as necessary as love for the divine.

Erotic imagery and metaphor
"Elegy XIX" is full of erotic imagery, which complements Donne's adaptation of Ovidian wit. In the blazon, Donne's speaker orders, "Off with that happy busk, which I envy" (11); Donne's speaker uses the busk as a metaphor of the phallus, although it is unclear whether or not the speaker envies the busk because of its proportions, or because it is close to the mistress's body. Donne's speaker asks his mistress to "Shew/The haiery Diademe which on you doth grow" (15–6), or otherwise, let her hair down, which creates an image of freedom and relaxedness within the bedroom setting (it is also used later in Thomas Carew's "A Rapture").

Donne's metaphysical conceit occurs at line 27; "O my America! my new-found-land/My kingdome, safeliest when with one man man’d/My Myne of precious stones, My Emperie/How blest am I in this discovering thee!" (27–30). K. W. Gransden sees this excerpt as an “analogy from Elizabethan navigation and discovery, by which means he [the speaker] depicts the lover's journey to consummation in the most modern possible fashion. Donne neatly hits the traditional estimate of love by expressing it in terms of an adventure”. Here, Gransden commends Donne's comparison of sexual intercourse to an adventure, which was a modern way for his speaker to coax the mistress into bed.
Donne's metaphysical conceit also dabbles in gendered power dynamics of early modern England. Ilona Bell suggests that "If the woman is [the speaker's] kingdom and his empire, he is her king and emperor, reveling unabashedly in his masculine dominion over her”, which suggests that Donne's speaker takes a position of superiority and governance over his mistress. However, it is important to note that without the "new-found-land", AKA the mistress, Donne's speaker would not be a king. As much as the mistress needs the speaker, the speaker needs the mistress. This is also reverent in the last lines of the poem, "To teach thee, I am naked first, why then/What needst thou have more covering then a man?" (47–8); Donne's speaker removes his clothes to guide, or teach, his mistress; however, since he is naked first, he places himself in a place of vulnerability. Bell notes that "male domination [was] fundamental to Donne's poetic and cultural inheritance. Not surprisingly, therefore, Donne's poems acknowledge the sexual stereotypes and gender hierarchy that subordinated early modern women to men...; however, his poems also dramatise the ways in which Donne challenged... the patriarchal polity and society into which [he was] born and died”. By supplying the reader with a metaphysical conceit that places the speaker over his mistress, but in a way that obviously shows his dependence on her, as well as providing an open-ended scenario where the man is either guiding his mistress into nudity or left vulnerable as she remains clothed, Bell's theory is supported.

Neoplatonism
Although the elegy is not Donne's most credible neoplatonic work, there is one instance where transcendent love is mentioned. Donne's speaker mentions that "As souls unbodied, bodies uncloth'd must be" (34), which suggests that the spiritual connection of two souls outside of the body, or a Neoplatonic love, is just as crucial and necessary to a relationship as physical, erotic love.

PlayNow was Sony Ericsson's download service for media that included music, games, ringtones, wallpapers and themes. It was introduced in February 2004 as a way for owners of SE phones to listen to and directly purchase ringtones. It was rolled out into 32 countries. The Sony Ericsson S700 was the first Sony Ericsson phone to come pre-loaded with PlayNow.

PlayNow was expanded in mid-2008 into the browser-based portal, PlayNow arena. This first went live in the Nordic countries in August 2008 and offered additional types of free and premium content, including 1 million DRM-free tracks from record companies such as Sony Music, Warner Music, and EMI. It also enabled the dual download of MP3 music tracks, with one higher quality MP3 track downloaded direct to PC, and one lower quality track to the phone.

PlayNow arena is organised on a per country basis, and is compatible with a wide range of Sony Ericsson phones. It also supports various thirdparty Windows Media DRM-enabled devices.

Part of the PlayNow service was the TrackID mobile music recognition service. Using this system, you could have recorded several seconds of music on your phone to find out the artist and track. Where available, you could have also purchased the identified track direct from PlayNow. TrackID worked via the Sony-owned Gracenote identification system.

In September 2008, Sony Ericsson announced PlayNow plus; a paid for subscription service. It was launched in Sweden at the cost of 99 Swedish crowns (around $15) per month on the W902 Walkman phone through operator Telenor.

PlayNow plus was bundled and billed via a mobile operator and enabled unlimited downloads of DRM-controlled music, as well as PC playback via Omnifone's music player. Pre-loaded music offers were also planned for subsequent PlayNow plus-enabled phones.

In May 2009, Sony Ericsson announced PlayNow arena with movies. This was a bundled out-of-the-box services that enabled users to download up to 60 specially formatted movies per year. Organised on a per country basis, a total of 15 movies (new and classics) were to be available at any one time with four replacement titles added every month. The movies were accessed via a PC and side loaded on the phone via USB. They could have been watched as many times as possible for up to 90 days. They couldn't be played on any other device. PlayNow arena with movies were to launch in June 2009 with the W995 Walkman phone in Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Germany and the UK.

As of Sony's complete acquisition in 2011, this service is no longer available, and has been replaced with Sony Entertainment Network.

Kevin Michael Connolly (born March 20, 1962) is a Canadian poet, editor, and teacher who was born in Biloxi, Mississippi and grew up in Maple, Ontario. Connolly has served as an editor for presses such as ECW Press, Coach House Press, McClelland & Stewart, and he is currently the poetry editor at House of Anansi Press. He has edited and published more than 60 full-length poetry collections, many of them debuts.

Connolly's book, Drift, won the 2005 Trillium Award, and his fourth book, Revolver, was shortlisted for the 2009 Griffin Poetry Prize. He received the 2015 Artist Award recipient from the KM Hunter Foundation.

Biography

Connolly graduated from York University in 1985 with a Bachelor of Arts with honors and currently resides in Toronto with his partner, Canadian writer Gil Adamson. After leaving York University, Connolly co-founded what! magazine with fellow York graduate, Jason Sherman. What! magazine published from 1985 to 1993 and was considered influential. Connolly incorporates the strategies and technique of language poetry in his work and his poetry has appeared in a number of small presses, including The Monika Schnarre story and Deathcake. In 1998, Eye weekly (a Toronto Star newspaper based division) hired Connolly to write columns on poetry, food, and theater, but by 2004, he left to start working as an editor for Coach House Press.

Works and criticisms

In 1995, Connolly released his first collection of work, Asphalt cigar (coach House Press), which was nominated for the League of Canadian poets’ Gerald Lampert Award for best first book of poetry. Upon releasing Asphalt cigar (1995), Connolly was one of six writers featured in Blues and True Concussions (House of Anansi Press, 1996), an anthology of new Toronto poets. In 2002, Connolly released his second collection of work, titled Happyland (ECW Press) but did not gain greater recognition until the release of his 2005 collection, Drift (House of Anansi press) which won the Trillium Book Award for poetry. Connolly’s second and third collections were both successful but were commonly criticized as showing too much of his process and ‘’lacking cohesive shape". In 2008, Connolly released his fourth collection of work, titled Revolver (House of Anansi press), which was nominated for the 2009 Griffin Poetry Prize. Connolly was a runner up for the Griffin poetry prize alongside writer Jeramy Dodds’ poem, titled crabwise to the hounds, which Connolly himself edited. Connolly’s collection of poems, Revolver, was well received, and he was noted for his use of humor in his writing.

Contributions to Canadian poetry

Connolly has taught workshops and held educational competitions that focus on the process of poetry writing. During the 1990s, Connolly published the early work of Canadians such as Lynn Crosbie, Gary Barwin, Daniel Jones, Stuart Ross and Gil Adamson, in a collection titled Pink Dog chapbook. He served as a poetry judge at the 2006 great Canadian literary hunt and his poem, titled Sundial, was featured in the 40th anniversary edition of This Magazine. His poem, titled Chain, from the 2005 Drift collection was included in a collection of works titled 30 in 30, a collection created to celebrate National Poetry Month.

The Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra, Op. 88a, was written by Max Bruch in 1912. It is in 4 movements, written in the rarely seen key of A-flat minor, and takes about 25 minutes to perform.

It is sometimes referred to as Bruch's Double Concerto, although this could also refer to his Concerto for Clarinet, Viola, and Orchestra, Op. 88 (1911).  There are claims that the two-piano concerto is based on the earlier concerto, but thematically these two works seem to have little or nothing in common, and this supposed relationship seems to be an erroneous assumption based purely on the works having similar opus numbers.

Structure
The movements are:
 I. Andante sostenuto
 II. Andante con moto – Allegro molto vivace
 III. Adagio ma non troppo
 IV. Andante – Allegro.

History
In 1911, Bruch had heard the American duo-pianist sisters Rose and Ottilie Sutro play his Fantasy in D minor for 2 pianos, Op. 11, and was so delighted that he agreed to write a double concerto for them.

Bruch did not write an entirely fresh piece, but reworked music he had been writing for his planned Suite No. 3 for Organ and Orchestra (also referred to as his Orchestral Suite No. 3). The Suite used some melodies that Bruch had heard on Good Friday 1904, while convalescing in Capri, and these melodies appear in the concerto.

Bruch gave the Sutro sisters the sole performing rights to the work. Without Bruch's permission, however, they rewrote the concerto themselves to suit their pianistic abilities, copyrighting their version and depositing it with the Library of Congress in 1916.  They performed the premiere of this version with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Leopold Stokowski on 29 December 1916.  In 1917 they played a further revised version of the work, with the number of movements reduced from four to three, with the New York Philharmonic under Josef Stránský.  Bruch himself conducted a private rehearsal of the concerto with the Sutro sisters in Berlin, but gave permission for it to be played only in the United States (it is not clear from the source which version this was; apparently he knew that the Sutros had made revisions, but to what extent is not known).

The Sutros withdrew the concerto after the second performance and never played it again.  They never played Bruch's original version at all.  But they continued to make revisions to their version, amounting to thousands of changes, the last by Ottilie as late as 1961 (Rose having died in 1957).  Ottilie died in September 1970, aged 98.  Some of her miscellaneous scores, manuscripts and newspaper cuttings were auctioned in January 1971.  The pianist Nathan Twining purchased a box of unidentified papers for $11, and it proved to contain the autograph score of Rose and Ottilie's version of Bruch's concerto, a work unknown to him.  The orchestral parts for the original version were bought by other people at the same auction, and Twining managed to track them down and buy the parts back from them. He and Martin Berkofsky then reconstructed Bruch's original version, and they recorded it for the first time in November 1973, with the London Symphony Orchestra under Antal Doráti.

The concerto has also been arranged as a work for six hands at three pianos, by Wilhelm Brückner-Rüggeberg.

The knowledge of the existence of the concerto has its own peculiar history.  It was listed in the 5th edition (1954) of Grove's Dictionary, as Op. 88, but it was not listed in the New Grove in 1980 at all.  It now appears in references as Op. 88a.

Recordings
In addition to the 1973 premiere recording mentioned above, the Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra has been recorded by:
 Güher and Süher Pekinel, with the Philharmonia Orchestra under Sir Neville Marriner
 Martin Berkofsky again, this time with David Hagan, with the Berlin Symphony Orchestra under Lutz Herbig
 Katia and Marielle Labèque, with the Philharmonia under Semyon Bychkov
 Robert Cowan and Joan Yarborough, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Paul Freeman.

The 197th Infantry Brigade ("Sledgehammer" / "FOLLOW ME") is an active Infantry brigade of the United States Army. The brigade was active as an Organized Reserve unit from 1921 to 1942, in the Regular Army from 1962 to 1991, and as a TRADOC training unit from 2007 to 2013. The brigade saw service in Operation Desert Storm with the 24th Infantry Division. On July 31, 2020, the brigade was activated as a training brigade in Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning), Georgia, to serve the increased training needs of the army.

History
For the new Reorganization Objective Army Division (ROAD) brigade at Fort Benning, Georgia, the adjutant general on 1 August 1962 restored elements of the 99th Reconnaissance Troop, which thirty years earlier had been organized by consolidating infantry brigade headquarters and headquarters companies of the 99th Infantry Division, as Headquarters and Headquarters Companies, 197th and 198th Infantry Brigades. The following month the 197th Infantry Brigade was activated at Fort Benning. When the Third U.S. Army activated the brigade to support training at the Infantry Center, it consisted of a composite artillery battalion (105-mm. and 155-mm. howitzers and Honest Johns), an armor battalion, a mechanized infantry battalion, two infantry battalions, an engineer company, and a chemical platoon, but no support battalion. At some point, a support battalion was organized.  The support battalion was composed of A company, the brigade administration company, B company was a medical company providing medics for training event, C company which was the brigade supply company, and D company which was a transportation company.  The battalion was composed mostly of soldiers returning from Viet Nam having only several months to serve on active duty.  Colonel Dorchek was the Support Battalion Commander. A company consisted of the Brigade Chaplains, Brigade Adjutant General section, and the Brigade Judge Advocate General Section.  A company also contained the battalion consolidated mess hall.  A company was commanded 1969-1970 By Captain Terrence Rudes and the First Sergeant was John A. Hoyt.  In 1969, Colonel Willard Latham assumed command of the 197th Brigade, he later became the Post Commander at Ft. Benning.  COL Edwin L. Kennedy succeeded COL Latham in command in an unusual coincidence.  LTC Kennedy had succeeded LTC Latham in battalion command in Berlin, Germany in 1968.  This was COL Kennedy's second brigade command having commanded the 196th Light Infantry Brigade in Vietnam previously.  The strength of the brigade was approximately 3,500 men.

In late 1965 an infantry battalion of the 197th Infantry Brigade was inactivated at Fort Benning to provide personnel for expanding the Army in Vietnam. In early 1973, to provide personnel needed for the Infantry School, Continental Army Command directed that the school support troops be reorganized and the 197th be restructured as a unit in the Strategic Army Force. On 21 March 1973 the brigade officially joined the strategic force, fielding one battalion each of infantry, mechanized infantry, and armor.

The intent of this reorganization at the time was that the brigade would align with XVIIIth Corps possible contingency assignment to potential middle east situations.  If activated, the brigade would be the Corps heavy force element.  It was also understood that the brigade would become as a longer-term objective, though remaining at Ft, Benning, a divisional maneuver brigade of a mechanized division that would at some point activate at Ft. Stewart, Georgia.  The division that would form was believed at the time to be the 24th Mechanized Division.

An aggressive brigade training and validation by Forces Command followed the new mission assignment for the brigade.  It included many joint exercises and other deployments locally at Ft. Benning in support of Infantry Center missions that were part of a massive Army modernization that was initiating.

The Infantry Center missions along with the aggressive reorganization and training program relative to the new mission orientation of the brigade saw deployments such as the following. As part of the XVIIIth Corps mission, the brigade deployed as a brigade or as subordinate formations to MacGregor Range, New Mexico, Ft, Stewart, Georgia and Eglin Air Force Base, Florida and participation in XVIIIth Corps CPXs at Ft.Bragg, North Carolina, The brigade also made demanding deployments to Infantry Center missions.  As examples the brigade's 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry deployed a detachment for four months of first 69, then after an extensive machine-gun gunnery period, 49 soldiers in support of the Squad Automatic Weapons Test administered by the U.S. Army Infantry Board in 1974 for four-month.  The 1st Battalion (Mechanized), 58th Infantry, almost immediately after their return from a month long gunnery and maneuver training density at McGregor Range, New Mexico, deployed Companies A and B for six months in support of Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle (MICV) Tests 1 & 2, what became the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle in 1976.

Company A, with three tank sections from the 2nd Battalion 69th Armor (7 tanks) under operational control reconfigured for the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MiILES) using test battle scenarios that collected the digitized engagement data as a Soviet Motorized Rifle Battalion.   Company B configure as a U.S. mechanized force using bot M113s and ht e MICVs.  These and other support missions by the brigade and its soldiers made major contributions to the Army's then massive modernization effort in progress that would continue through the 1990s.

One scenario of the MICV Test at Turrentine Range and Company A's performance of a Soviet armored attack may have played a role in the ultimate production Bradley M2 acquiring the tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided missile (TOW) launcher installed on the vehicle's torrent.  A significant development supported by the work of the two 1st Battalion, 58th Infantry companies.

Also important and in keeping with larger Army objectives at this time was a major National Guard partnership training mission with a sister Tennessee National Guard mechanized brigade.  This mission continued for a year until the Tennessee brigade reorganized as armored cavalry.  This activity involved companies for example of the 58th Infantry handrexeipting the companies M113s to the sister mechanized company from Tennessee and then administering the Army Training and Evaluation Program (ARTEP) to the company during their summer active training (AT).

Primarily, garrisoned at Kelley Hill Barracks at Fort Benning, the brigade with the extensive mission orientation outlined to not only support the Infantry Center and School but also to specialize in desert, jungle and urban warfare and support other aligned missions as assigned, generally aligned with XVIIIth Airborne Corps contingencies, assured a very active brigade program. Eventually, the 197th Infantry Brigade (Mechanized) (Separate), a stand-alone heavy brigade, would deploy for active combat operations and in the Middle East.

During the Gulf War (Desert Storm) the brigade ultimately served as part of the 24th Mechanized Division based at Fort Stewart, Georgia as the division's third brigade. Soldiers in the 197th who are veterans of the Gulf War wear as their combat patch the patch of the 197th, not the 24th.  However, The Institute of Heraldry has not yet minted a combat service identification badge (CSIB) for the 197th.

The 197th was inactivated within months of returning from the war, and its units reflagged as the 3rd Brigade, 24th Infantry Division. The motto of the 197th is "Sledgehammer" and the unit is unofficially known as the "$1.97" (the "dollar ninety-seven"), the "Buck and Change", and the "Bite the Bullet" brigade.

Reactivated in 2007 at Fort Benning, GA as part of TRADOC, the brigade "access(ed) and train(ed) Soldiers and Infantry leaders, demonstrate(ed) Infantry tactics, provide(ed) subject matter expertise, develop(ed) doctrine and support(ed) the USAIS in order to provide the army with soldiers and leaders prepared to fight and win."

The 197th Infantry Brigade was inactivated on 13 December 2013 in order that the U.S. Army would reach manning goals through reductions in the force.

On July 31, 2020, the brigade was activated as a Training Brigade at Ft. Benning, GA.

The 162nd Infantry Brigade was an active duty Infantry training brigade of the United States Army based at Fort Polk, Louisiana. The brigade was responsible for training the Security Forces Assistance – Security Cooperation teams, also known as Military Transition Teams, prior to their deployment to Operations Enduring Freedom and New Dawn from 2010 until its inactivation in 2014.

During World War One
The 81st Infantry Division "Wildcats" was organized as a National Division of the United States Army in August 1917 during World War I at Camp Jackson, South Carolina. The division was originally organized with a small cadre of Regular Army officers, while the soldiers were predominantly Selective Service men drawn from the southeastern United States. After organizing and finishing training, the 81st Division deployed to Europe, arriving on the Western Front in August 1918. Elements of the 81st Division first saw limited action by defending the St. Dié sector in September and early October. After relief of mission, the 81st Division was attached to the American First Army in preparation for the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. In the last days of World War I, the 81st Division attacked a portion of the German Army's defensive line on 9 November 1918, and remained engaged in combat operations until the Armistice with Germany at 1100 hours on 11 November 1918. After the cessation of hostilities, the 81st Division remained in France until May 1919; after which the division was shipped back to the United States and inactivated on 11 June 1919.

During World War I, infantry brigades were purely tactical formations.  Administrative and logistical functions were conducted by the division headquarters. The brigade headquarters was composed of the commander (a brigadier general), his three aides, a brigade adjutant, and eighteen enlisted men who furnished mess, transportation, and communications services.

During World War I, the 162nd Infantry Brigade was composed of 8,134 personnel organized in a Headquarters Detachment with 5 Officers and 18 Enlisted Soldiers, the 321st and 322nd Infantry Regiments each with 3,755 Officers and Enlisted Soldiers, and the 317th Machine Gun Battalion with 581 Officers and Enlisted Soldiers.

 Equipment:
 M1917 Browning machine gun
 M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle
 M1917 Enfield
 Brodie Helmet

During the Global War on Terror
The 162nd Infantry Brigade was organized to assume the advisory training mission and replace the 1st Brigade, 1st Infantry Division which reorganized as a deployable formation.  U.S. forces were trained to prepare foreign civilian and military security forces within Afghanistan and Iraq for the transfer of security responsibilities back to the host nations. The Security Forces Assistance – Security Cooperation Team Training Brigade has provided rotational units with the capability to provide training, coaching, and mentoring to the Afghanistan National Army and other Afghan Security forces in Afghanistan. The brigade was inactivated as the mission changed to the deployment of brigade combat teams to mentor their foreign counterparts. This mission evolved into the Security Force Assistance Brigade (SFAB) to prevent the disruption to the brigade combat teams' core warfighting competencies and better focus the training and expertise in the dedicated SFABs.

The Castle Donington line also known as Weston On Trent Branch Railway is a railway line in Derbyshire, England, that runs between Stenson Junction in the west and Sheet Stores Junction in the east (just north of Trent Junction). There are no passenger services that serve this line regularly but passenger services are occasionally routed across it. Regular passenger services are routed via Derby. The line is regularly used by freight trains and serves the East Midlands Gateway freight interchange. There are no current passenger stations on the line which previously served stations at Castle Donington and Weston-on-Trent and also linked to the Melbourne Line.

The Castle Donington line offers a link between lines in the east including the Nottingham–Lincoln line and Midland Main Line joining just south of Long Eaton with lines in the west Cross-Country Route and Crewe–Derby line, linking just north of Willington. In both cases the links join heading south, thus permitting east-west travel avoiding Derby.

History
Construction of the line was authorised in 1865 and phase 1 to Weston-on-Trent was opened in 1869 by Midland Railway. The line was later extended to Stenson to join the Cross-Country Route. This section opened in 1873. The line closed to passengers in 1930 although some services for Donington Park events continued to run.

The line has been used by a range of freight services including coal trains for Castle Donington Power Station which was built on the same site as the current East Midlands Gateway distribution centre which also has a connection to the line.

The line itself is still open and was used by passenger services during the Derby re-signalling project for services between Birmingham and Nottingham.

Former Stations

Castle Donington and Shardlow Station
Opened 6 December 1869 as Castle Donington station this station was renamed Castle Donington and Shardlow in 1901 before being closed to passengers in 1930. It was later closed to freight in 1967. It was demolished soon after.

The station was located just to the east of present day station road bridge in Castle Donington. The station comprised two platforms with a small building on the south side and a small shelter on the north side. There were also some sidings, a small building for loading and unload of freight and a signal box. A former inn by Station Road bridge was converted for use as the Station Master's house.

Weston on Trent Station
Opened in 1869, closed to passengers in 1930 then closed to freight in 1959.

Present usage
The line offers a route between the East Midlands and West Midlands avoiding Derby, which makes it a good choice for freight traffic. Thus, the line is regularly used by freight trains on a number of different routes, including oil trains between Kingsbury Oil Terminal and  Humber Oil Refinery/Lindsey Oil Refinery, stone trains between Peak Forest Quarry and Washwood Heath Asphalt plant, Masborough and the Port of Southampton, trains to Toton TMD as well as other routes.

The line is also used by empty coaching stock for access to Derby Etches Park and daily empties going between Nottingham Station and Tyseley Locomotive Works.

The line is also used by passenger trains as a diversionary route. The Nottingham and Birmingham services ran on this line during the Derby resignalling project.

As of January 2020, the line is used by daily container trains from the port of Felixstowe to the East Midlands Gateway Rail Freight Interchange.

In philately a killer is a particularly heavy type of handstamp, or portion of one, consisting of heavy bars, cork impressions or other crude devices used to cancel postage stamps. Such handstamps may also be known as obliterators as the mark applied often obscures almost the whole of the stamp.

Killers were often used in the early days of stamps as the postal authorities wished to ensure that stamps could not be re-used.

In the United States this is also the name for a particular circular date stamp with four thick horizontal bars to the right. This handstamp effectively cancels the stamp while leaving the place and date information easily visible. The bars are known as killer bars.

There is no exact definition of what is, and is not, a killer cancel and the term is often used to apply to any heavy cancellation.

The Boys Are Back is a 2009 drama film directed by Scott Hicks, produced by Greg Brenman and starring Clive Owen. It is based on the 2001 memoir, The Boys Are Back in Town, by Simon Carr.

Plot
Joe Warr (Clive Owen) is a British sportswriter who lives in Australia with his second wife and horse jockey, Katy (Laura Fraser) and his young son Artie (Nicholas McAnulty). Katy is diagnosed with cancer and dies, forcing Joe to cope with the responsibilities of being a single parent.

Joe's teenage son from his first marriage, Harry (George MacKay), feels abandoned in the United Kingdom with his mother. Harry uses Katy's death as an opportunity to try to build a relationship with his father, coming to visit him in Australia. Although Harry is initially unnerved by the lack of discipline in the house, he eventually forms a strong bond with Artie, while struggling to foster a closer relationship with Joe.

When Joe is forced by work to leave his sons alone in the house for a night, local teenagers throw a party at the house against both boys' will. With the house ransacked, Harry flies back to England because he no longer feels safe living with Joe. Joe and Artie go after him. After much discussion, Joe convinces Harry to move to Australia on a permanent basis.

The trio return to Australia, and together shoulder the responsibilities of running the household without a female influence.
