John Stanley Hook (born 27 May 1954) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and right-arm off-break bowler who played for Somerset. He was born in Weston-super-Mare.

Hook played for Somerset's second eleven in the Minor Counties Championship from 1973 to 1975, and made a single first-class appearance for the first team, against Oxford University in 1975. From the lower order, he scored 4 not out in the first innings of the match and 3 runs in the second innings. In 12 overs, he failed to take a wicket.

George Rupert Hunt (23 March 1873 – 22 August 1960) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and right-arm medium-pace bowler who played for Somerset. He was born in Bathwick and died in Old Bursledon, Hampshire.

Hunt made a single first-class appearance for the team, during the 1898 season, against Surrey. Somerset were short of players for the match, and recruited Hunt, who had played cricket while at the University of Oxford, though never for their first team. From the middle order, he scored a single run in the first innings in which he batted, and, upon being moved to the opening order in the second innings, scored three runs. The Somerset cricket historian Stephen Hill speculated that Hunt might have been promoted to open in the second innings as the captain was "aware that the new man was unlikely ever to have another opportunity to experience county cricket."

Douglas Hamilton McLean (18 March 1863 – 5 February 1901) was a British rower who rowed in the Boat Race five times and won Silver Goblets at Henley Royal Regatta. He was also a cricketer who played one match for Somerset in 1896.
McLean was born in Sydney, the son of John Donald McLean, colonial treasurer of Queensland, Australia. He went to England where was educated at Eton College and made his first appearance at Henley in the Eton eight winning the Ladies' Challenge Plate in 1882. He went on to New College, Oxford where he rowed in the Oxford crew in the Boat Race five times between 1883 and 1887, winning the 1883 and 1885 races. He won the University Pairs for New College in 1885 and also Silver Goblets at Henley with his brother, Hector McLean. In 1886 the McLean brothers were beaten in the final of the Silver Goblets by Stanley Muttlebury and Fraser Churchill. McLean was Australia in December 1886 when he played a match for Geelong Cricket Club and then in India at the start of 1887, but returned in time to take part in his fifth boat race. During the race McLean's oar broke. Oxford were behind at Barnes Railway Bridge, but Cambridge moved into rougher water too far over to the Surrey bank and Oxford were expecting to push through when the disaster struck. Guy Nickalls, then in his first Boat Race, recorded "Then, 'Ducker' McLean broke his oar off short at the button. With the station in our favour and him out of the boat we could have won even then, but 'Ducker' funked the oncoming penny steamers and, instead of jumping overboard as he should have done, we had to lug his now useless body along, to lose the finish." At Henley the McLeans were again runners up in Silver Goblets to Muttlebury and Charles Theodore Barclay.

McLean's brother Hector died at the beginning of 1888 and Douglas started as a rowing coach. He coached the Oxford crews which went on to win over a five-year period. Otherwise he lived in Somerset. On 16 June 1888 he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the North Somerset Yeomanry, he was promoted lieutenant on 22 October 1892, and captain on 4 October 1893. In the 1896 cricket season, he made a single first-class cricket appearance as wicket-keeper for Somerset against a Cambridge University team in which W. G. Grace, Jr. opened the batting. From the tailend, McLean scored 9 not out in the first innings, and 4 runs in the second innings. He was also "a fair shot, a very painstaking billiard-player, and a dignified person, who was equally imperturbable whether sitting as a Justice of the Peace or watching a close boat race". In 1898 McLean collaborated with William Grenfell in authoring Rowing and Punting, the fourth and final volume for The Suffolk Sporting Series on Sport. The work was commissioned from Bertram Fletcher Robinson and edited by Henry Howard, 18th Earl of Suffolk.

On 28 March 1900 McLean joined the 69th Sussex Company Imperial Yeomanry with the rank of lieutenant in army, and took part in the Second Anglo-Boer War. He was promoted to captain in the army on 16 August 1900, and later served under the military governor of Pretoria. He died of enteric fever in Johannesburg at the age of 37. He is commemorated on the Boer War memorial in the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin, Battle, East Sussex, and on the Eton College memorial, in Lapton's Chapel within Eton College Chapel.

John Trevor Holmes (16 November 1939 – 26 November 2022) was an English first-class cricketer. Born in Holmfirth, Yorkshire, he played as a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper for Somerset.

Holmes made a single first-class appearance for the team, during the 1969 season, against the touring West Indians. Holmes scored a duck in the first innings in which he batted, and 8 runs in the second, as Somerset lost the match by a wide margin. According to one account, Holmes' selection for Somerset was "on the strength of a 2nd XI match at Pontypridd and typical surge of enthusiasm from the current coach, Bill Andrews".

Albion Colliery was a coal mine in South Wales Valleys, located in the village of  Cilfynydd, one mile north of Pontypridd.

Location
The Colliery was located along the well known A470 road , a long-distance road from Cardiff to Llandudno. The site is now home to Pontypridd High School, whose students commemorated the 120th anniversary of the disaster by participating in a project, recreating the events in the form of a film.

Development
The Albion Steam Coal Co. began sinking in 1884 at Ynyscaedudwg Farm. Its two shafts opened in August 1887; 19 feet in diameter, they were sunk 33 yards apart to a depth of 646 yards. Production at the colliery quickly flourished and its average weekly output soon reached 12,000 tonnes. This was the largest tonnage for a single shaft colliery in the whole of South Wales.

The colliery brought immigration from England, Scotland and Ireland for the work opportunities available.

Life in the Colliery
Coal mines in South Wales were the number one employers with collieries like the Albion Colliery dominating the landscape. The miners worked extremely hard for not much money at all as the majority of the profit went to the landowners and the shareholders. There was little regard to the poor working conditions or the safety of workers. Pit ponies were seen as far more valuable. If human life was lost, it could easily be replaced. Explosions and accidents were only a small part of the problem, many more people were affected by the working conditions and the exhausting jobs that they had to carry out. Long term physical damage of the bones and muscles were evident due to the heavy loads and cramped conditions. Miners also suffered with lung diseases from the amount of dust they were inhaling and the coal had to be cut by hand with a pick axe. Trade unions were difficult to join as the miners usually had to sign an agreement not to join them and if anyone did join a union, they would be sacked and blacklisted by all surrounding coal mines. The miners lived in poverty and could not afford to risk it.

Accidents
Tragedy struck the colliery with three fatal mining accidents in ten years:
2 men were killed on 24 March 1886, during the sinking of the shafts
4 killed in November 1886, as production started

1894 disaster
Albion was the scene of one of the worst disasters ever to occur in the South Wales Coalfield, second only to the later disaster at the Universal Colliery at Senghenydd in 1913.

At 4 o'clock on Saturday 23 June 1894, the night shift had just begun and the workers were clearing dust and repairing underground roadways when a massive explosion on the Groves level occurred. It was caused by the ignition of coal dust following an explosion of firedamp, and resulted in the deaths of 290 men and boys. Of the 125 horses underground, only two survived. Despite 16 men emerging from the disaster with their lives, only five of these survived. There were no female  victims as it had been made illegal for women and children under the age of 12 to work underground in the mines, with the pit ponies replacing them to haul coal, which is why so many horses died alongside the workers. The youngest victim was only 13 and the oldest victim was 60, with the average age being 28 years old.

The bodies brought to the surface were initially assessed and stored in the colliery's stable hayloft, that acted as a temporary morgue. Many were so badly mutilated that identification was virtually impossible, and there were several instances of corpses being carried to the wrong houses. Another cause of confusion was that no-one knew how many men were below ground when the explosion occurred.

Almost everyone in the community lost someone in the disaster. One household in Howell Street lost 11 members: the father, his four sons, and six lodgers.

1894 inquest
The colliery was reopened within two weeks of the explosion, and an inquest opened in Pontypridd in August 1894. The differences of opinion between the owners, the inspectors and the professional witnesses led the jury to conclude that the explosion of gas was accelerated by coal dust, but it failed to agree on the cause. Because of this, the inquest lasted 9 days before it reached this conclusion. They did unanimously agree that shotfiring without sufficient precautions and contrary to the rules meant that that under manager had neglected his duties. The jury made recommendations to improve safety conditions. These recommendations included that shotfiring in timber should be prohibited, old working should be properly stowed and that the number of men in the mines should be kept at all times. The jury also suggested that more thorough inspections should be carried out and that they should be carried out by Her Majesty's inspectors as the present workmen representatives were deemed worthless. The inspectors responded by saying that apart from disagreeing on the origin of the explosion, their view were in accord with the jury. The inspectors insisted however that the inspections were not worthless or useless and were in fact a good thing when carried out properly, like they generally are carried out in South Wales and Monmouthshire. One of the few survivors, George Bamford, gave his account of the explosion to help the inquest.

Consequently, the Government appointed barrister Mr J Roskill to scrutinise the evidence. Roskill in his September 1894 report submitted to the Home Secretary was of the opinion that the explosion was caused by the blasting of timbers which ignited an accumulation of gas, which ignited the coal dust. Roskill concluded the risk was increased by dangerous working practices, including blasting of timbers during shifts, inadequate watering of the mine to lay dust and new Saturday shift patterns, so that there was no interval for clearing dust between shifts. Roskill recommended prosecuting the Albion Coal Company, but eventually only fines of £10 and £2 were imposed against manager Phillip Jones and chargeman William Anstes.

Production
Albion was served throughout its entire life by the Llancaiach Branch line of the Taff Vale Railway, which enabled it to reach maximum production quickly.

In 1908 2,589 worked at the colliery, with the colliery reaching a maximum output of 325,000 tons in 1934. Following the liquidation of the Albion Co in 1928, the assets were purchased by Powell Duffryn, before it was nationalised after World War II to become part of the National Coal Board in 1947. At that time there were 991 men employed, reaching an output of 231,639 tons; this reached 620,000 tons after the Penrhiwceiber Colliery had been added to the production group.

The mine closed in September 1966.

Earl Godwin (January 24, 1881 – September 23, 1956) was a prominent 20th century newsman and radio personality. After a successful career as a print journalist and editor, he transitioned into one of the leading newscasters and commentators of the Golden Age of Radio, attracting a nationwide audience. He was elected president of the White House Correspondents' Association, an influential group of journalists that still exists today with special access to the White House, and also served as president of the Radio Correspondents' Association. Dubbed the "Earl of Godwin" by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, he was referred to as the "Dean of Broadcasters." Godwin has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Early life
Earl Godwin was born in a house across the street from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on the site currently occupied by the U.S. Supreme Court. His father was Harry Godwin, city editor of the Washington Evening Star, his grandfather Henry fought in the Civil War, and his great grandfather was Abraham Godwin. Godwin attended school in Passaic, New Jersey and got his first job at the Passaic Herald, where he earned $3 a week. Years later he observed, "No amount of money seemed so great to me."

Early career
Godwin cut his teeth at his father's newspaper (c. 1910). By 1916 he had become its political writer while simultaneously reporting on the nation's capital for other papers, first as a side venture for the Milwaukee Sentinel and subsequently for the rival Washington Times (1917–1919). This initial stint with the Times coincided with his joining the army in the First World War.

During the 1920s Godwin took a break from the newspaper business to serve as public relations director for the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company and later (1927–35) for the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). In 1929 he authored a book about the phenomenon of Prohibition.

After this hiatus, Godwin returned to the Washington Times and rose to associate editor.

In 1938, while serving as White House correspondent for the Times, he was elected president of the White House Correspondents' Association.

Two decades in radio
Godwin broke into radio in 1936 at the age of 55 almost without trying: he was sent to a radio station to be interviewed on the air about a particular topic and was called back repeatedly until he became a regular. A participant in more than half a dozen weekly news roundups as well as special coverage of seminal events such as the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the Senator Joseph McCarthy hearings, his most notable syndicated series were Earl Godwin and the News (straight newscasting, 1936–41, 1944–49) and Watch the World Go By (news analysis, 1942–44), both on the NBC Blue Network.

Godwin benefited greatly from arriving on the scene at a time when experienced Washington correspondents, skilled in reporting and analyzing national news, were supplanting the so-called armchair analysts who had been a popular feature of wartime coverage. Along with other authoritative voices such as Drew Pearson and Eric Sevareid, Godwin attracted larger and larger audiences as well as advertising dollars from major industries.

Watch the World Go By was sponsored by Ford Motor Company. Godwin was chosen as the "Voice of Ford" to burnish the company's reputation while reaching the widest possible segment of the population. He was reportedly hand-picked by Henry Ford for his "raspy drawl."

Godwin was a singular presence, or something of an outlier, on the airwaves during an era when the majority of radio commentators leaned leftward on the political spectrum. Commenting on this phenomenon, Sen. Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio) complained to Mark Woods, the president of ABC (successor to the NBC Blue Network), in 1946:

White House Press Secretary James Hagerty characterized Godwin as a "fine reporter." Reporter Richard Strout of the Christian Science Monitor remembered him as "genial," while Time magazine was less generous: "Bumbling Earl Godwin's sudden emergence as one of radio's high-priced newsmen is a triumph for corn. His reports from Washington for NBC have always sounded as if they were delivered from a cracker barrel near the stove in the general store." In spite of this unflattering assessment, Godwin remained popular with political types as well as ordinary citizens, as evidenced by the State of Texas awarding him an honorary citizenship.

Godwin would end his broadcasts with the phrase, "God bless you, one and all."

In the early days of television, Godwin co-hosted the NBC show Meet the Veep.

Relationship with FDR
Although his career spanned several presidencies, stretching from coverage of the campaign of Woodrow Wilson (1912) to that of Dwight Eisenhower (1956), Godwin developed a particularly close relationship with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was all the more remarkable in light of their different politics, since Roosevelt was an unabashed liberal, while Godwin was a conservative whose employer, Cissie Patterson, owner of the Washington Times, detested the president.

FDR was fond of calling him the "Earl of Godwin" and Godwin responded by calling him "Chief." Godwin was given a seat near the presidential desk during White House press conferences. On occasion he was approached in advance and asked to pose a question that the president or his press secretary felt were too important not to be addressed, requests to which he willingly acceded:

Godwin and the president enjoyed a genuine camaraderie and "bantering" relationship. He became so choked up when announcing FDR's death that a colleague had to step in and finish the broadcast.

Legacy
In 1957, to commemorate his achievements and contributions to the network, NBC established the Earl Godwin Memorial Award and scholarship to promote excellence in journalism among students pursuing studies at an accredited school of journalism.

Personal life
Godwin was married twice. His first marriage, to Mary Easton, ended in divorce. In 1938 he wed Elizabeth Cromelin, who, along with his three sons and one daughter, survived him. One of his sons was Harry Easton Godwin, a famous Jazz Musician.

Quotes
"It is surprising to me to hear anybody say in this town that there are 40 or 50 different ways of violating a confidence. I only know of one way, and that is to violate it."

About his dealings with a New York financier: "I have a small account in his firm, and I have known him a long time, and he bought me some submarine stock that functioned properly and went to the bottom and stayed there."

Nicolò Longobardo (1559-1654), Chinese name Long Huamin (), was a Sicilian Jesuit in China in the 17th century. He arrived there in 1597, and was sent to the area of Shaozhou. He became the successor of Matteo Ricci in 1610 as Superior General of the Jesuit China mission.

He was replaced as Superior by Giovanni Aroccia in 1622, but continued preaching in China until around 90 years of age.

The Jesuit's name also appears in historical sources as Nicholas Longobardi and Niccolo Longobardi, with the birth and death years given as 1565–1655.

He was buried in the Jesuits' Zhalan Cemetery in Beijing.

Airborne is the sixth studio album by Curved Air and was recorded in 1976. Like their last few releases, it was not a significant commercial success. After a follow-up non-album single, "Baby Please Don't Go" b/w "Broken Lady", the group disbanded. Drummer Stewart Copeland went on to form The Police, while violinist Darryl Way and lead singer Sonja Kristina both pursued solo careers. Bassist Tony Reeves and guitarist Mick Jacques both later became members of the semiprofessional band Big Chief.

The Police covered "Kids to Blame" in early performances, using a stripped-down punk arrangement of the song. Stewart Copeland also reused a guitar riff from "Desiree" in his solo single as Klark Kent, "Don't Care".

Background and recording
The album sessions marked the debut of Stewart Copeland as a songwriter. Around the release of Midnight Wire, he was informed about publishing royalties for songwriters, and responded by churning out compositions until the band accepted a few of his contributions.

Producer Dennis McKay quit the project midway through recording, leaving the remaining four tracks to be produced by Curved Air themselves.

Reception

Allmusic described Airborne as an overlooked record and "a strong summation of all that made the group so important in the first place." While appraising the album as a whole as weaker than their first three, claiming it veers towards generic 1970s rock, they regarded "Desiree" and "Heaven (Never Seemed So Far Away)" as equal to anything on the band's strongest releases.

Michael Caine has been nominated for an Oscar six times, winning his first Academy Award for the 1986 film Hannah and Her Sisters, and his second in 1999 for The Cider House Rules, in both cases as a supporting actor. His performance in Educating Rita in 1983 earned him the BAFTA and Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. Caine is one of only two actors nominated for an Academy Award for acting in every decade from the 1960s to 2000s (the other one being Jack Nicholson); Laurence Olivier was also nominated for an acting Academy Award in five different decades, beginning in 1939 and ending in 1978, as has Paul Newman (1950s, '60s, '80s, '90s and 2000s) and Denzel Washington (1980s, '90s. 2000s, '10s and '20s). Caine appeared in seven films that were ranked in the BFI's 100 greatest British films of the 20th century.

He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 1992 Birthday Honours and in the 2000 Birthday Honours he was knighted (as Sir Maurice Micklewhite CBE) by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. In a tribute to his background, he stated: "I was named after my father and I was knighted in his name because I love my father. I always kept my real name—I'm a very private and family-orientated person." In 2000 he received a BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award.

In 2008, Caine was awarded the prize for Outstanding Contribution to Showbusiness at the Variety Club Awards. On 5 January 2011 he was made a Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by France's culture minister, Frédéric Mitterrand. In May 2012, Caine was awarded the Honorary Freedom of the London Borough of Southwark as a person of distinction and eminence of the borough.

Ashley Frederick Bryan (July 13, 1923February 4, 2022) was an American writer and illustrator of children's books. Most of his subjects are from the African-American experience. He was U.S. nominee for the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2006 and he won the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for his contribution to American children's literature in 2009. His picture book Freedom Over Me was short-listed for the 2016 Kirkus Prize and received a Newbery Honor.

Early years

Childhood
Ashley Frederick Bryan was born on July 13, 1923, in Harlem and raised in the Bronx, both in New York City. His father worked as a printer of greeting cards and loved birds, and Bryan remembered their apartment as full of a hundred birds. He was born the second of six children and grew up with his three cousins. Bryan recalled his childhood in New York City during the 1930s as an idyllic time, full of art and music. He learned to draw, paint, and play instruments at school from artists and musicians participating in the Work Projects Administration program. With books he checked out from the library, Bryan made his own, temporary collection at home. He particularly enjoyed poetry, folktales, and fairy tales; stories that could be told within a brief span of pages.

University studies and military service
Bryan attended the Cooper Union Art School, the only African-American student at that time. He had applied to other schools who had rejected him on the basis of race, but Cooper Union administered its scholarships in a blind test.

At the age of nineteen, World War II interrupted his studies. He was drafted into the U.S. Army and assigned to serve in a segregated unit as a member of a Port Battalion, landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day. He was so ill-suited to this work that his fellow soldiers often encouraged him to step aside and draw. He always kept a sketch pad in his gas mask. His book, Infinite Hope, is an autobiographical journey during the war.

In 1946, he enrolled at Columbia University School of General Studies to study philosophy. After the war, Bryan received a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the University of Marseille at Aix-en-Provence and later returning for two years to study at the University of Freiburg in Germany.

Teaching career
Bryan taught art at Queen's College, Philadelphia College of Art, the Dalton School, Lafayette College, and Dartmouth College. He retired as emeritus professor of art at Dartmouth in 1988.

Retirement and death
In the late 1980s, when Bryan retired from Dartmouth, he moved to Islesford, Maine, on Little Cranberry Island. He lived there until he moved to Sugar Land, Texas, where his niece lived, in 2019.

The Ashley Bryan Center (501c3) was formed in 2013 to preserve, protect and care for Bryan's art, his collections, his books and to promote his legacy. In 2019, the Center and University of Pennsylvania reached an agreement to archive Bryan's works at the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books, and Manuscripts.

Bryan died at his niece's home on February 4, 2022, at the age of 98. He had congestive heart failure.

Awards and honors

Bryan has received two American Library Association career literary awards for his "significant and lasting contributions", the 2009 Wilder Medal and the 2012 King–Hamilton Award. The Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal from the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) biennially recognizes one writer or illustrator of children's books published in the U.S. The committee named Dancing Granny, Beat the Story-Drum, Pum-Pum, and Beautiful Blackbird in particular and cited his "varied art forms". The Coretta Scott King–Virginia Hamilton Award from the Ethnic & Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table (EMIERT) biennially recognizes one African-American writer or illustrator of children's or young-adult literature.
In 2008 Bryan was named a Literary Lion by The New York Public Library. In 2008, the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African-American History and Culture housed in the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library hosted the "Ashley Bryan Children's Literary Festival." He also received the University of Southern Mississippi Medallion from the Fay B. Kaigler Children's Book Festival in 1994.

For his lifetime work as a children's illustrator, Bryan was U.S. nominee in 2006 for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest recognition for creators of children's books.

The Ashley Bryan Art series was established at the African American Research Library and Cultural Center of the  Broward County Library in 2002. Dr.Henrietta M. Smith, Professor Emerita at the University of South Florida (USF) School of Information, worked with the Broward County Library to establish the children's book author and illustrator art series named for Ashley Bryan. Dr. Smith was also the lector for the 2003 Alice G. Smith Lecture, a lecture series held at the USF School of Information "to honor the memory of its first director, Alice Gullen Smith, known for her work with youth and bibliotherapy."  In 2012 the  Ashley Bryan Art series  celebrated ten years of exhibits and programs. "The series began with Ashley Bryan submitting eight original art pieces to the library to serve as core of the art collection." It became "a children's book author and illustrator series which has brought Coretta Scott King-Award winning authors and illustrators whose work reflected African culture to the library". "The Ashley Bryan Art series has had a long-lasting cultural effect upon the community bringing children and families into the library and engaging youth with children’s book art and illustrations."

Bryan was honored by Maine governor Janet Mills who proclaimed July 13, 2020 "Ashley Frederick Bryan Day" for his lifetime contributions to the state.

Awards for particular works

For particular books he has been honored several times including multiple Coretta Scott King Awards and honors for illustration, the inaugural Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award from the Pennsylvania State University, the Lupine Award from the Maine Library Association, and the Golden Kite Award for nonfiction.

Stage works

American composer Alvin Singleton composed Sing to the Sun, a commissioned work for the 1995-1996 season by a consortium of five musical festivals. The work consisted of a chamber orchestra made up of an oboe, clarinet, viola, piano and percussion, children's voices and a narrator, and drew upon the collection of poems by Bryan entitled: Sing to the Sun: Poems and Pictures. Bryan himself narrated the premiere and all the following performances.

On June 10, 2017 the world premiere of Alliance Theatre’s production Dancing Granny took place at the Oglethorpe University's Conant Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The musical play was adapted for the stage from Bryan's book of the same name with music composed by Jireh Breon Holder and choreography by Ameenah Kaplan.

In 2018, Bryan collaborated with composer Aaron Robinson on an African-American requiem titled A Tender Bridge; a 90-minute, 13 movement work that celebrates Bryan's life and career based on his writings that uses "jazz, ragtime, Negro spirituals, Southern hymns and other musical idioms, along with a full choir, gospel choir, children’s choir, orchestra jazz ensemble and multiple narrators."

In April 2021, Alliance Theatre also staged Beautiful Blackbird Live, based on the children's book by Bryan, Beautiful Blackbird. The concert version tells the story about five birds that have flown from Africa to sing about how beautiful it is to be black.

Whinnimic Falls is a waterfall in the headwaters of Lemah Creek in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area. It is set in a narrow valley below Lemah Mountain.  The falls are one of two in the valley, the other being the smaller Upper Lemah Valley Falls. Whinnimic Falls plunges about  off a vertical cliff, onto a valley floor dotted with ponds and grassy meadows. The stream heads in two tarns and the remains of a small glacier.

The name "Whinnimic Falls" was mentioned in the red Cascade Alpine Guide by Fred Beckey. The origin of the name is unknown.

Eddie Dean (born Edgar Dean Glosup;  – ) was an American Western singer and actor. His smooth baritone impressed both Roy Rogers and Gene Autry, who considered Dean the best cowboy singer of all time.

Eddie Dean's show-business career began in 1937, as a radio singer. Within the year Republic Pictures, a producer of low-budget western and action feature films, hired him to play incidental roles. He also joined the Hopalong Cassidy production team in 1938, and appeared in many Paramount westerns. Beginning in 1941, producers took notice of Dean's singing voice and gave him specialty numbers.

In 1944 producer Walt Mattox hired Eddie Dean to support cowboy star Ken Maynard in the low-budget feature Harmony Trail. This led to producer Robert Emmett Tansey approaching Dean to star in a radically new series of westerns, to be released by PRC. These would be the first budget westerns to be filmed in then-unusual Cinecolor. The Eddie Dean series was immediately successful, with the added novelty of color attracting much attention among theater owners. Dean's first three starring vehicles featured Lash LaRue, who soon graduated to his own series.

In 1947 the PRC studio was absorbed by Eagle-Lion Films, which continued to use the PRC brand name for its westerns. Under Eagle-Lion the budgets became smaller and smaller: color film was forsaken in favor of ordinary black-and-white film, and many of the action scenes were lifted from older pictures, with Dean appearing in much fewer new scenes. The series limped to its conclusion with The Tioga Kid (1948), with Dean and some of the supporting cast members dressed to match their appearances in an older film. The Tioga Kid used so much old, out-of-context footage of Eddie Dean that the script explained it away as being Dean's twin brother! Despite the economies, Eddie Dean remained a popular western personality, starring in 20 features. (His 1944 feature Harmony Trail was re-released in 1947 to capitalize on his new movie fame, with Dean now billed as the star and the film retitled White Stallion.)

Attempts to further his screen career were unsuccessful. In 1950 he starred in two half-hour experiments for an early TV series, The Marshal of Gunsight Pass; these were unusual in that they were broadcast live, and any mistakes went out over the air. Movie producer Ron Ormond gave Dean a specialty number in his vaudeville revue Varieties on Parade in 1951, but no further work was forthcoming.

Like many singing cowboys no longer working in pictures, Eddie Dean became a recording artist. He scored three hits on the US Country charts. "One Has My Name (The Other Has My Heart)" peaked at number 11 in 1948 and "I Dreamed of a Hill-Billy Heaven" peaked at number 10 in 1955. Dean co-wrote both songs. Dean charted again with the song "Way Out Yonder" in 1955.

Personal life
By Hollywood standards Eddie Dean had an exceptionally long marriage. He wed Lorene Donnelly in 1930 and they remained married for almost 69 years.

He died of heart failure in 1999.

Sichuan Chengdu No.7 High School (), with another name as Chengdu High School (), is a public high school in Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Established in 1905, the school was formerly known as Chengdu County Middle School before 1952. It is one of the first key high schools designated by Ministry of Education of China. Considered to be the top high school in Sichuan Province and Western China, Chengdu No.7 High school is well known across China for its high-quality education and excellent academic performance in science and mathematics. It is one of the four "National Model High schools" in China. Most of the students in Chengdu No.7 High School are admitted in the top universities in China and prestigious universities in the world every year.

History
A brief history of the school follows:

Mochi Academy (Mochi Shuyuan) was founded in the era of Song Dynasty of China.

In 1852, Mochi Academy was split into two academies, Mochi Academy and Furong Academy (Furong Shuyuan).

In 1905, Mochi Academy and Furong Academy merged and established Chengdu County Advanced Elementary School, a four-year school.

In 1906, Chengdu County Middle School (four-year junior middle school)

In 1924, Chengdu County Middle School (three-year junior middle school)

In 1931, Chengdu County High School, three-year senior middle class was established.

In 1950, Chengdu County Middle School incorporated with Chengdu County Female High School (established in 1930).

In 1952, Chengdu County Middle School renamed as Chengdu No.7 High School.

In 2014, Chengdu No.7 High School added sign "Chengdu High School".

Academic achievement
The achievement of students in the National College Entrance Examinations and Middle School Entrance Examinations have been the best in Chengdu City and Sichuan Province for several decades. The college admission rate of the school's senior class has remained at roughly 99% or above. About 80% of the graduates enroll in key universities in the nation for higher education.

The number of students who have won prizes in various contests held by the State and Sichuan Province remains high at around 400 each year. In the past five years, 32 students have participated in the finals of National Contests in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computing. Seven students have joined the national Olympic training teams in different disciplines. Among them, Zhang Yin and Wang Xiaochuan have won the gold medals in the 37th International Math and the 8th International Information Science Olympic Contests, respectively. Yang Jun won the championship of the American National Math Contest in 1992.

Most students in Chengdu No.7 High School become the students in top universities in China and in the world every year.

The Wind Orchestra
Chengdu No.7 High School Wind Orchestra is the biggest and most historic (established in 1988) one in Sichuan, and it has gained a lot of honors. The orchestra plays an important role in the history of Chengdu no.7 high school. It was chosen to represent the school's music level, so its members have to be more intelligent and flexible than other teenage amateur music players.

In the year of 1989, the orchestra held a performance to commemorate Nie Er (composer of the PRC's National Anthem) in Kunming, which was its first display out of Sichuan. It was a huge success, then the orchestra went out once or more annually to give concerts or displays. With its fame increasing, the orchestra was invited to Australia in 2004. The orchestra left an excellent impression on Sydney's medias. This successful event represented the musical level of all Sichuan's middle school students. 2 years later, in July 2004, the band went to Vienna to join the 2004 World Cup for Band. Here they received a bronze cup. Then, the orchestra went to Singapore in 2010 to participate International music competition, and it won the silver prize. And in July 2011, the orchestra went to Switzerland to celebrate the music festival held in Jungfrau, and got a silver cup.

Besides those out-province achievements, the orchestra also earned reputation in Sichuan. It joins Sichuan students' musical competition every year and rarely fell into the second rank. Though it stopped activities during the 2003 "SARS" period and the 2009 H1N1 influenza period, it still attends the closing ceremony for artistic festival in CD no.7 high school.

Swimming team
Chengdu No.7 High School has a leading swimming team. Founded in 2004 with only 2 athletes and coached by Mr. Pu Jun(蒲俊), the team now has 22 national-graded athletes, including several level-1 graded athletes. Between 2009 and 2011, the team achieved 3 consecutive winning of Sichuan swimming team championship.

The Westland Wagtail was a prototype British fighter aircraft of the First World War. A single-engined tractor biplane, the Wagtail was a failure owing to the unreliability of its engine, only five being built.

Development and design
The Westland Wagtail was designed by Westland Aircraft of Yeovil in 1917 to meet the Royal Air Force Specification IA for a light fighter with superior performance to the Sopwith Camel. Westland's design team, led by Robert Bruce,  the Company's manager and Arthur Davenport, Chief Draughtsman, came up with a design for a small single bay biplane, powered (like the other competitors for the Specification, the BAT Bantam and the Sopwith Snail) by the 170 hp (127 kW) ABC Wasp radial engine.  The Wagtail was of conventional wood and fabric construction, with the upper wing centre-section having a large cut-out to improve the pilot's view, and carrying an armament of two Vickers machine guns mounted over the nose.

An order for six prototypes was placed in February 1918, (although the last two were later cancelled) with the first airframe being used for structural tests and not flown.  Delays in delivery of engines delayed flight testing of the Wagtail, with the first to fly, serial number C4291, flying in April 1918, two months after the airframe was complete. Testing showed that handling of the Wagtail was good, but also quickly showed that the Wasp was unreliable. Although the Wagtail proved the best of the three Wasp-engined fighters tested, the Wasp was officially abandoned in October 1918, which together with the end of the war on 11 November, resulted in it not being adopted as a fighter.

Despite this, two further Wagtails were ordered in 1920, as testbeds for the new 150 hp (112 kW) Armstrong Siddeley Lynx radial. These two aircraft, which had a shorter nose to compensate for the heavier engine, were delivered in 1921 and remained in use until August 1922.

"Secret Garden" is a song by American musician Bruce Springsteen. It was originally released as a single from his Greatest Hits album on February 27, 1995, on Columbia Records. Upon its initial release, it peaked at number 63 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Secret Garden" was re-released on April 11, 1997, through Sony as a two-track single, of which also featured a live version of "Thunder Road". (An EP was also released in 1995, featuring two versions of "Secret Garden" ("album" and "string"), live versions of "Murder Incorporated" and "Thunder Road" and the original version of "Pink Cadillac" from Greatest Hits.) This re-issue returned the song to the Hot 100, where it peaked at number 19 and remains Springsteen's final top-40 hit in the United States to date.

The song gained much of its popularity after being featured on the soundtrack for the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire peaking at number 12 and number 15 on the Adult Top 40 and Top 40 Mainstream respectively.

"Secret Garden" was also featured in the film Night at the Roxbury and the TV show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The song was also synced with producer Gary Dell'Abate's 'Love Tape' to his ex-girlfriend on The Howard Stern Show. It was featured in the Cold Case episode, "Ravaged", in 2005, and was featured along with 10 other Springsteen songs in the HBO miniseries Show Me a Hero.

The song has been performed only a handful of times live. It was performed three times in 1995 in New York, and one time on the Reunion Tour in 2000. The song returned to the setlist once in 2013 when Springsteen performed it in the United Kingdom. After a three-year hiatus, Springsteen performed it twice in 2016 in New Jersey and Washington, D.C., and once in 2017 in Brisbane, Australia.

Critical reception
Steve Baltin from Cash Box praised the song, noting that it is a ballad that follows in the footsteps of the softer material from his Human Touch and Lucky Town albums." He added that featuring the reunited E Street Band, "it is one of the prettier melodics Springsteen has ever come up with. Meaning that with his recent Grammy success and the success of previous ballads (“I’m On Fire”), this could be a monster hit. lt'd be hard to find a more deserving song than this one, as Springsteen once again puts the words and melody together to show why, despite the knocks he took in ’92, he remains alone at the top."

In 1997, British magazine Music Week rated "Secret Garden" three out of five, describing it as a "melancholic track". They also added that "this keyboard-led, introspective love song is low key, sparse and touching."

Geoffrey Blythe (died c. 1530) was the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield.

Blythe was born at Norton in Derbyshire (now part of Sheffield) to William Blythe and a sister of Thomas Rotherham, Archbishop of York. He was schooled at Eton and then entered King's College, Cambridge in 1483. He was ordained a priest on 4 April 1496. King Henry VII entertained a high opinion of his abilities, and often employed him in foreign embassies. He was special ambassador on 27 May 1502 to Vladislas II, King of Hungary and Bohemia, and on his return was rewarded with the bishopric of Coventry and Lichfield. From 1512 to 1524 he was appointed president of the Council of Wales and the Marches.

Blythe's elder brother John was Bishop of Salisbury, and Bishops' House in Sheffield is said to be so named because it was built for the brothers, though there is no evidence that they ever lived there.

Cathy Mitchell is an author and television infomercial host for numerous "As seen on TV" products.

Television career
Mitchell is best known for hosting television infomercials for a wide range of products, such as the Chef-O-Matic Pro, the Sideshow Skillet, the Fry Pro 2, and the Turbo Cooker. She was among the first infomercial hosts to emerge after the FCC began to allow program-length advertisements in the 1980s. Her first infomercial was filmed in 1989 for a sandwich press known as the Snackmaster. Prior to her television career, she had worked performing product demonstrations at fairs in California, including the state fair.

In August 2008, Mitchell appeared in an infomercial parody alongside John C. Reilly on the TV show Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! hosted on Adult Swim.

In 2014, Cathy Mitchell was featured on the Rachael Ray show. She participated in a Coffee Off with fellow pitchman Marc Gill which she lost by 8 cups.

Cookbooks
Mitchell is the author of a number of cookbooks. Her first was Dump Cakes, a small book of recipes for dump cakes – cobbler-like desserts which are easily prepared by "dumping" fruit and packaged cake mix into a pan without mixing. It was published in 2014 by TeleBrands. She has also written a number of other cookbooks whose titles play on the "dump" template, including Dump Dinners and Crock Pot Dump Meals, all of which were advertised on the Steve Harvey Show and on HSN. The titles of these books have been the source of some ridicule, given the negative or scatological connotations of the word dump. Mitchell has acknowledged this, and suggested it may have contributed to the success of the books. Dump Cakes was featured in a humorous "As Seen on TV gift guide" segment of the late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Her later cookbooks include Ramen Joy and Ramen Nibbles, which are homemade dishes and desserts made with instant ramen noodles.

Personal life
Mitchell lives in Valley Springs, California. She has five children.
