Ronald Raymond Rees (4 April 1944 – October 2023) was a Welsh professional footballer who played predominantly as a winger and was able to play down either flank. He spent six years with Coventry City. At international level, he made 39 appearances for the Wales national team scoring three goals.

Career
Rees was a graduate of the Coventry City youth team, and was given his debut for the senior team by Jimmy Hill in May 1962. Rees spent six years at Highfield Road, helping Coventry gain promotion from Division Three to Division One.

Rees left Coventry to join West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £65,000 in March 1968. He spent less than a year at the club, joining Nottingham Forest in February 1969 for £60,000.

Swansea City manager Roy Bentley paid Forest a club-record £26,000 for Rees in January 1972. Rees spent three-and-a-half seasons with Swansea before joining Haverfordwest of the League of Wales in August 1975.

Later life and death
Following his retirement from professional football, Rees worked at the Ford motorworks in Swansea and Bridgend. He was forced to retire in 1995, at the age of 51, after suffering a major stroke that took his ability to walk and talk. He was a resident at Hengoed Court Care Home, Swansea. Although in poor health he liked to keep up to date with all Coventry City football news.

Rees died in October 2023, at the age of 79.

A Campbell diagram plot represents a system's response spectrum as a function of its oscillation regime. It is named for Wilfred Campbell, who introduced the concept.
It is also called an interference diagram.

In rotordynamics

In rotordynamical systems, the eigenfrequencies often depend on the rotation rates due to the induced gyroscopic effects or variable hydrodynamic conditions in fluid bearings. It might represent the following cases:

1. Analytically computed values of eigenfrequencies as a function of the shaft's rotation speed. This case is also called "whirl speed map". Such chart can be used in turbine design as shown in the numerically calculated Campbell diagram example illustrated by the image: analysis shows that there are well-damped critical speed at lower speed range. Another critical speed at mode 4 is observed at 7810 rpm (130 Hz) in dangerous vicinity of nominal shaft speed, but it has 30% damping - enough to safely ignore it.

2. Experimentally measured vibration response spectrum as a function of the shaft's rotation speed (waterfall plot), the peak locations for each slice usually corresponding to the eigenfrequencies.

In acoustical engineering

In acoustical engineering, the Campbell diagram would represent the pressure spectrum waterfall plot vs the machine's shaft rotation speed (sometimes also called 3D noise map).

USS SC-500 was a United States Navy SC-497-class submarine chaser in commission from 1942 to 1945 during World War II. She later served in the Soviet Navy as BO-319.

Construction and commissioning
SC-500 was laid down on 27 February 1942 by the Fisher Boat Works in Detroit, Michigan, and launched on 11 October 1942.  She was commissioned on 31 March 1942.

Service history

After World War II service in the U.S Navy, SC-500 was selected for transfer to the Soviet Navy in Project Hula – a secret program for the transfer of U.S. Navy ships to the Soviet Navy at Cold Bay, Territory of Alaska, in anticipation of the Soviet Union joining the war against Japan. Following the completion of training for her Soviet crew, SC-500 was decommissioned on 9 June 1945 and transferred to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease immediately. Also commissioned into the Soviet Navy immediately, she was designated as a bolshiye okhotniki za povodnimi lodkami ("large submarine hunter") and renamed BO-319 in Soviet service. She soon departed Cold Bay and, after a stop at Adak to refuel and reprovision, proceeded to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in the Soviet Union, where she served as a patrol vessel in the Soviet Far East.

Disposal
In February 1946, the United States began negotiations for the return of ships loaned to the Soviet Union for use during World War II, and on 8 May 1947, United States Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal informed the United States Department of State that the United States Department of the Navy wanted 480 of the 585 combatant ships it had transferred to the Soviet Union for World War II use returned. Deteriorating relations between the two countries as the Cold War broke out led to protracted negotiations over the ships, and by the mid-1950s the U.S. Navy found it too expensive to bring home ships that had become worthless to it anyway. Many ex-American ships were merely administratively "returned" to the United States and instead sold for scrap in the Soviet Union, while others, at the suggestion of the Soviets, were destroyed off the Soviet coast under the observation of American naval authorities. In 1956, BO-319 was destroyed, probably off Nakhodka, under the latter arrangement.

The City of Kingston has defined 45 distinct neighbourhoods based on census data from Statistics Canada. Different from the city's twelve electoral districts, the neighbourhoods as defined by the City all share common socio-demographic characteristics.. Detailed socio-demographic information on the city can be found in the Kingston Community Profile, 2009: A Socio-Demographic Analysis of Kingston, Ontario Canada. The profile is published by the Social Planning Council of Kingston and District (SPCKD). While some of these neighbourhoods have established their own business improvement area, others are simply a designation given by the City of Kingston in recognition of their distinct attributes and characteristics.

The divisions are arbitrary; they follow census boundaries but often chop existing, recognised neighbourhoods (including the central business district) in two.

Downtown and inner suburbs
These points (and a few others, including Polson Park, Rideau Heights and Alcan), if not part of the original city, were annexed to Kingston from Kingston Township or the former village of Portsmouth no later than the 1950s.

Kingston - West
Most (but not all) of these points were in the former Township of Kingston, annexed on January 1, 1998. The pre-amalgamation boundary is Cataraqui Creek.

Kingston - East
Most of these points were in the former Pittsburgh Township, annexed on January 1, 1998. The pre-amalgamation boundary is the Cataraqui River.

Kingston - North
Many or most of these points (except for those south of the 401) were in the former Township of Kingston, annexed on January 1, 1998.

Midmark Corporation makes medical, dental, and veterinary products and provides related services. It was founded in 1915 as The Cummings Machine Company. Headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, USA, Midmark maintains production and administrative offices in Versailles, Ohio, as well as seven other locations in the United States, one in Mumbai, India, and one in Quattro Castella, Italy.

Midmark is a fourth generation, privately held organization. It has more than  of manufacturing space in five locations.

History

Midmark, formerly The Cummings Machine Company, was founded in 1915, manufacturing cement mixers. In 1918 Cummings bought the Reeves Pulley Company's engine business. In 1921 the company expanded its product line to mining locomotives, foundry equipment, and custom metal fabrications, and became the Industrial Equipment Company. John Eiting was the first member of the Eiting family to hold a leadership position, being named president in 1925. John's son Carl Eiting joined the company in 1930 and became president in 1953.

1950s - 1970s
Carl's son, Jim Eiting, joined the company in 1956, developing a new strategy which led Midmark into the medical industry, and in 1968 the company acquired the medical examination table product line of American Metal Furniture Company. The company was then renamed IE Industries for "innovative engineering." It also introduced the world's only solid frame, hydrostatic trencher, used for cutting ditches for utility underground lines and general construction. These new product lines resulted in the creation of three product divisions: Midmark Medical, Midmark Power (trencher), and Midmark Steel (mining equipment and custom manufacturing). In 1978, IE Industries became Midmark Corporation.

1980s - 1990s
Midmark purchased the Ritter line of medical equipment from Sybron in 1986, then designed and developed casework and sterilizers for the medical and dental markets. It acquired Knight Manufacturing, Inc. in Asheville, North Carolina, expanding its product offerings in the dental market. As part of a global initiative, Midmark purchased the French holding company, Arteme and its subsidiaries, Promotal and Beaumond, located in Ernée, France, in 1998.

2000–present
In 2000, Jim Eiting's daughter, Dr. Anne Eiting Klamar, who was practicing medicine at Family Practice Physicians in Urbana, Ohio, joined Midmark and was appointed to president and CEO.

Midmark made several acquisitions to broaden each of its markets:

 Brentwood Medical Products, Torrance, California - digital diagnostic products

 Apollo Dental Products, Clovis, California - air compressors and evacuation systems for the dental market

 Matrx, Orchard Park, New York  - air compressors and evacuation systems for dental and veterinary medicine
 DBL7, Fort Collins, Colorado - veterinary power examination and procedure tables, including the Canis Major Exam Lift Table
 European Design, Inc., Glasgow, Kentucky - a premium wood cabinetry company
 Sharn Veterinary, Inc., Tampa, Florida - monitoring and critical care equipment for animal healthcare under the Cardell, CardEx, and Versaflo brands
 Progeny, Inc., Lincolnshire, Illinois - radiographic imaging products for human and animal dental markets
 Newmed, S.r.L, Quattro Castella, Italy- tabletop sterilization products and accessories for the medical, dental, and animal health markets
 VSSI, Inc., a manufacturer of veterinary practice equipment, located in Carthage, Missouri
 Kennel manufacturer, Mason Company Leesburg, Ohio
Schroer Manufacturing Company (Shor-Line) animal health equipment manufacturer. Kansas City, Kansas

In 2010, Midmark acquired the majority equity position in Janak Healthcare Private Limited, a healthcare equipment company based in Mumbai, India. It also partnered with Mortara Instrument in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, adding new products to its line of diagnostic devices.

Midmark moved its headquarters from Versailles, Ohio to Dayton, Ohio, located at the University of Dayton River Campus, in 2013.

In 2014, Midmark took sole ownership of Janak Healthcare Private Limited in Mumbai, India with manufacturing in Umargam, Gujarat.

In 2016, Midmark acquired Versus Technology, Inc., a maker of locating technology, badges, and software located in Traverse City, Michigan.

In 2016, Midmark acquired VSSI Inc., a manufacturer of veterinary practice equipment located in Carthage, Missouri

In 2018, Midmark moved its headquarters from Dayton, Ohio, located at the University of Dayton River Campus to Austin Landing in Miamisburg, Ohio.

In 2019, Midmark acquired Mason Company, an animal boarding and containment solutions company located in Leesburg, Ohio and Lebanon, Ohio

An Australian by-election was held for the Legislative Assembly of Queensland district of Gaven on 1 April 2006. It was triggered by the resignation of sitting Labor member Robert Poole.

The by-election resulted in the Labor Party losing the seat to National Party candidate Alex Douglas.

Background

Robert Poole first came to parliament at the 2001 state election by winning the newly created seat of Gaven. He was subsequently re-elected at the 2004 state election. During his second term, Poole attracted criticism for the amount of time he spent in Thailand, where his wife and children lived. Things came to a head in February 2006 when Poole announced that he'd be spending three months in Thailand to recover from knee surgery. The Opposition demanded a by-election, but Premier Peter Beattie said he was prepared to wait until the beginning of April for Poole to return home. Poole, not prepared to return home early from his trip, announced his decision to resign his seat on 28 February 2006.

Candidates

Labor preselected Phil Gray as their candidate to defend the seat. Gray had previously been campaign manager to outgoing member Robert Poole.

The Liberal Party—who had been the Labor Party's chief opponent in Gaven at the 2004 election—did not contest the by-election, instead deferring to the National Party due to the coalition agreement that the two parties not stand candidates against each other in the same seat. This attracted criticism from some from commentators who believed the Liberal Party was better placed to win the suburban seat than the rural-centric Nationals. The National Party endorsed general practitioner Alex Douglas as its candidate.

Results

National Party candidate Alex Douglas won the seat from Labor Party. It marked the third by-election loss for Labor during the parliamentary term, following on from the 2005 losses in Chatsworth and Redcliffe.

Aftermath
Alex Douglas's stint in parliament would prove to be a short one. A general election was called by Premier Peter Beattie later that year where Labor recouped the seat of Gaven, with Phil Gray once again their candidate.

However, the tables turned again at 2009 state election when Alex Douglas, running as a candidate for the newly formed Liberal National Party, defeated Gray in their third contest against one another.

Allan Chernoff is a writer and owner of Chernoff Communications, a strategic media communications firm.
He is the author with Rena Margulies Chernoff of The Tailors of Tomaszow, a communal memoir and history of Holocaust survivors from Tomaszow-Mazowiecki, Poland.
He was CNN's senior correspondent in New York for 11 years specializing in finance and business.
Before joining CNN, Chernoff was senior correspondent at CNBC.
Chernoff was also a senior partner with Fleishman-Hillard.

Early life and education
Chernoff's mother, Rena (née Margulies) is a survivor of the Holocaust. Chernoff is a graduate of Brown University. While working at CNN, he earned an Executive Certificate in Financial Planning from Fordham University.

Career
Chernoff was a founding journalist of Financial News Network (FNN), television's first network devoted to finance and business and was FNN's first New York Correspondent. While at FNN he was the first journalist to report live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

Prior to joining CNN in 2000, he reported for CNBC and NBC programs, including the weekend editions of NBC Nightly News and Today, as well as for MSNBC, WNBC, WCAU, WMGM-TV and other NBC affiliates. He reported on international, political and economic affairs from Japan, Russia, Germany, Israel, Mexico and Canada. At CNBC, Chernoff created and presented the network's "Managing Your Money" segments and later rose to become CNBC's first Senior Correspondent.

As a reporter on CNN, he appeared on CNN, CNN International, HLN and CNN Radio and wrote for CNNmoney.com and CNN.com. Chernoff also reported and anchored for Time Warner's now-defunct CNNfn. He frequently served as CNN's economic and personal finance analyst. For more than two decades, Chernoff has helped viewers, listeners and readers understand economic swings, the ups and downs of the stock, bond and commodity markets and how to best manage their personal finances. Prior to the recent financial crisis, Chernoff reported extensively on the looming mortgage meltdown, the implications it could have, and how homeowners could best brace themselves.

Among his many CNN exclusives, Chernoff exposed serious safety gaps in the airline industry; fraud in the healthcare system; and ecological damage caused by ethanol production. As part of his extensive coverage of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, he revealed the fact that oil rig blowout preventers, used as a fail-safe by the oil drilling industry, had a history of failure before the BP disaster.

Chernoff was the first to report on the legal battle between insurance companies and victims of Hurricane Katrina who lost their homes. He broke news of the insider trading guilty plea of former ImClone CEO Sam Waksal; SEC fraud charges against WorldCom; the plan to dissolve accounting firm Arthur Andersen; Wall Street analyst Jack Grubman's conflict of interest settlement; the suicide of former Enron executive Cliff Baxter; and details of the global settlement between tobacco companies and the states. He has covered every major business scandal since the 1980s, from Milken to Martha to Madoff.

In 2003, Chernoff interviewed comedian Andrew Dice Clay live on CNN which quickly turned hostile shortly into it when Chernoff asked about Clay's career being down and on the rebound and no longer a headline act and asked about his time recently running a gym, at which point Clay cursed numerous times, denied there was any problem with his career or that he ever ran a gym, then walked out of the interview. Clay has been alleged to have owned & managed a gym in Brooklyn in the late 1990s and allegedly took a break from performing to manage a Gold's Gym a few years later in Florida with his 2nd wife, but there is no credible evidence of these claims, though he admits to frequenting gyms including various Gold's Gyms and has been photographed working out in a Gold's Gym shirt. He also headlined a sellout crowd at the Beacon Theatre the next night after the interview, indicating he was indeed still a headline act.

Among his honors, Chernoff is a six-time winner of best reporting awards from the Society of Professional Journalists' New York chapter, Deadline Club. He has won two National Headliner Awards; two New York Festival Awards; and a Prism Award. Chernoff's reporting contributed to a CNN DuPont Award and his coverage of the Gulf oil spill, Hurricane Katrina and analysis of economic issues in the 2008 presidential campaign were each part of CNN's Peabody Award-winning efforts. His work has also been honored by the Sidney Hillman Foundation and the University of Maryland.

He has written on business, foreign affairs, travel and sports for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Los Angeles Times, as well as other publications.

He sits on the board of the Deadline Club, is a career advisor for Brown University, and was an interviewer for the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Project and a board member and Secretary of the New York Financial Writers Association.

Personal life
He is married to Robin Chernoff; they have twin daughters.

MV Orion (formerly MV Saturn, , and MV Orcadia) is a ro-ro passenger and vehicle ferry. Saturn was operated by Caledonian MacBrayne in the Firth of Clyde in Scotland between 1978 and 2011, for the first decade of her career on the Rothesay crossing. Later, she also saw service on the Dunoon and Brodick crossings, as well as on short cruises around the Clyde.

After a lengthy lay-up, she was sold in 2015 to Pentland Ferries, renamed Orcadia, and converted for ferry services work with the renewable energy sector around Orkney and the Pentland Firth. In 2021 she was sold to Creta Cargo Lines, Greece, renamed Orion, and towed to Perama for conversion to increase freight capacity.

Description and Construction
Saturn was an evolution of the design used for the earlier  and . Instead of conventional propellers, all three vessels had two fore-and-aft Voith-Schneider units, which had been successfully used on the fleet's 1972 Skye ferries. This propulsion system made the vessels fast and highly manoeuvrable compared to other vessels of the day, greatly reducing sailing and turnaround times and leading to them being nicknamed “Streakers”.

The vessel incorporates a large open vehicle deck towards the stern, with passenger accommodation and services towards the bow across three decks. The design is of the roll-on/roll-off type, with vehicles boarding using either the stern ramp or one of the ramps amidships that lower to port and starboard respectively. She has two passenger lounges, one with a cafeteria. There is crew accommodation on the upper deck and open-air passenger areas.

Unlike Jupiter and Juno, Saturns bridge was constructed one deck above the upper passenger deck, giving passenger access right around the front of the ship and allowing views directly over the bow. Saturn also did not have the large mast structure fitted above the car deck.

History

CalMac Service
Together with her sister ships, Saturn formed a new generation of car ferries built in the 1970s to serve the routes on the Firth of Clyde. These ships were nicknamed the "Streakers" because of their greater speed (compared to what had served the area's routes previously) and superb manoeuvrability (due to their novel propulsion units).

With "Rothesay Ferry" emblazoned on her hull, Saturn operated primarily on the Wemyss Bay – Rothesay crossing for much of her first decade. From 1986, a new rostering policy saw the three streakers switching between the Rothesay and Dunoon routes. The third vessel provided additional peak sailings on both crossings, served Kilcreggan and, between 1993 and 1999, provided cruises on summer afternoons. Later, there were two vessels at Rothesay for most of the day with the former Western Isles' ship  providing additional capacity.

After more than 35 years, the Streakers were replaced by a new generation of CalMac ferries designed for the Upper Firth, just as in the 1970s they had replaced an earlier generation.  came into service on the Rothesay route in 2005, followed by  in 2007. With Bute'''s introduction, Saturn moved down the firth to Ardrossan, assisting  on the Brodick crossing during summer, and acting as a spare vessel during the winter. Major work at Rothesay throughout the winter of 2006/2007 required the vastly superior maneuverability of the 'Streakers' for access to the pier and Saturn with sister ship Juno were in service for the duration of the winter while newer ships Bute and  were laid up. This continued until April 2007 when the newer ships could resume service. Sister ship of Bute,  entered service the following month which allowed Saturn to return to her summer duties at Arran.

In September 2007 Saturn became the first and only 'streaker' to leave the Firth of Clyde when she carried out berthing trials at Port Ellen, Port Askaig and Kennacraig to test her suitability on the Islay service. Saturn also carried out special cruises from Gourock and Dunoon to mark the return of Cunard liner Queen Elizabeth 2 to the Firth of Clyde upon the liner's 40th anniversary in 2007 and her final visit to the Clyde in 2008.

Last of the Clyde StreakersJuno was taken out of service in 2007, and laid up at Rosneath until she was dismantled there in 2011. In October 2010, Saturn took over the Dunoon sailings from older sister Jupiter, which was laid up at Rosneath as spare vessel for that winter, although she never saw service again, and on 25 June 2011 she was towed away to be broken up in Denmark.Saturn was the main ferry on the Gourock–Dunoon route for the last 9 months of the vehicle crossing, before the route was made passenger only. The Caledonian MacBrayne vehicle service there finished on 29 June 2011, and Saturn returned to assisting at Ardrossan. She was back on the Bute run on 20 August 2011 to provide extra sailings for the Bute Highland Games , subsequently returning to Gourock on 27 August 2011 to help out the Argyll Ferries passenger ferries on the busiest weekend of the year for the Cowal Gathering (Highland Games) in Dunoon. These turned out to be her final passenger sailings for Calmac, as she was no longer required in the fleet with no Gourock-Dunoon vehicle service and the  being spare following the introduction of the .

Laid up at RosneathSaturn was de-stored at Gourock and moved to Rosneath on 30 August 2011. She was laid up, awaiting a decision on future service.

In November 2011, she moved to the inside of the pier to clear a space for the . By March 2012, despite still shown as a "relief" vessel for Calmac, it was suggested that the vessel had been at least partially stripped since being laid up - frustrating calls by local activists to have her re-instated on the Dunoon-Gourock route as a replacement for the . By July 2012, Saturn had been de-registered from the Calmac fleet. She had no sailing certificate and this was highly unlikely to be renewed with  having taken over her only remaining work, the Summer additional sailing to Brodick from Ardrossan.

By 2014, there seemed to be little progress with the future of the vessel. In response to the ships ongoing deterioration whilst laid up at Rosneath, a small grass roots campaign was launched by those interested and passionate in the fate of MV Saturn.

In November 2014, the group announced they had been in talks over the fate of the vessel, and now had an opportunity to move forward. In December, the "Campaign to Save MV Saturn" merged with other efforts from across Scotland and the UK to see the vessel saved, and in turn launched one last surge on making an appeal to save the vessel. It was expected that Saturn was set to be scrapped in early 2015, with the final decision expected to be given that February.

Pentland FerriesSaturn remains as the last and youngest of the Clyde Streakers.

After years of speculation, CMAL announced in February 2015 that Saturn had been sold to Pentland Ferries to be converted for use as a freighter and for renewable energy work around Orkney and the Pentland Firth.

On 25 February Saturn was towed from her berth at Rosneath to the Garvel dry dock in Greenock for a major overhaul, sharing the dock with the sail training ship Stavros S Niarchos. Both ships were un-docked and towed round to the James Watt Dock in early March 2015. The lower part of Saturn's hull had been painted red, and repainting in Pentland Ferries red livery continued, with their logo soon replacing the CalMac logo on the funnel. The ship returned to dry dock under her own power on 23 March 2015, and over the following weeks the full Pentland Ferries livery was applied and steel work was carried out. Dry docking was complete by early April and the ship returned to James Watt Dock. On 10 April 2015 the new name Orcadia was painted on the bow and stern of the vessel.Orcadia left James Watt Dock on 22 April 2015 and headed north, leaving her home waters of the Firth of Clyde. She arrived at St. Margaret's Hope on the morning of 24 April 2015 and carried out short berthing trials. Further work was carried out following her arrival at Stromness. On 16 December 2016 Orcadia was moved back to Pentland Ferries' home port of St. Margaret's Hope for further work and inspection. In January 2017, and after almost 2 years of ownership under Pentland Ferries, Orcadia appeared for sale. In 2018, Arran based Scotslion Ferries Ltd considered buying her to provide a freight-only service to Arran, following disruption to the Ardrossan to Brodick service earlier in the summer. Unfortunately this was later abandoned after they realised the ship was not suitable.

Cretan Cargo Lines

In 2021, Orcadia was sold to Creta Cargo Lines to provide a Passenger and Vehicle service between Mainland Greece and the Aegean Islands. On 12 November 2021, Orcadia left St Margaret's Hope for the last time. She was towed by tugboat Christos LXI, and later arrived in Perama on 5 December 2021. She was expected to enter service from mainland Greece to the Aegean Islands in summer 2022. By 14 July 2022, she had been renamed Orion'', and extensive conversion work was being carried out by Spanopoulos Shipyards to increase the ship's freight capacity. In February 2023, she began sailing between Lavrio (SE of Athens) and the Greek islands.

Montebello was a steam oil tanker built in 1920–1921 by the Southwestern Shipbuilding Co. of San Pedro for Union Oil Company with the intention of carrying oil and petroleum products along the West Coast of the United States and Canada as well as between the United States and Chile. In December 1941 the tanker was sunk on one of her regular trips by the .

Design and construction
Early in 1920 Union Oil Company of California decided to expand their South American business and placed an order for two large tankers of approximately 12,000 tons deadweight with Southwestern Shipbuilding Company. At the time of the tankers were the largest vessels of their kind ever to be constructed in California.

The keel laying for both vessels, future SS Montebello and SS La Placentia, was held on 20 April 1920 with over forty Union Oil representatives present at the ceremony. Montebello was the first of these vessels and was launched on 24 January 1921 (yard number 21), with Miss Adelaide Stewart, daughter of William L. Stewart, president of Union Oil, being the sponsor. The tanker was named after Montebello oil fields, a major source of oil for Union Oil Co.

The ship was built on the Isherwood principle of longitudinal framing providing extra strength to the body of the vessel. The ship was shelter-deck type, had two main decks and had its cargo space subdivided into eighteen main tanks and ten summer tanks which allowed for the carriage of up to 94,000 barrels of oil. The tanker had a cargo pump room located amidships with specially designed pumps to be able to unload her entire cargo in about twenty hours. In addition, the steamer was equipped with eight throttle reversing steam winches for quick loading and unloading of cargo from shelter deck spaces. She was also equipped with wireless apparatus, had submarine signal system installed and had electrical lights installed along the decks and in crew cabins.

As built, the ship was  long (between perpendiculars) and  abeam, and had a depth of . Montebello was originally assessed at  and  and had deadweight of approximately 12,500. The vessel had a steel hull with double bottom throughout and a single 3,300 ihp vertical reciprocating quadruple expansion steam engine, with cylinders of ,,  and  diameter with a  stroke, that drove a single screw propeller and moved the ship at up to . The steam for the engine was supplied by three single-ended Scotch marine boilers fitted for oil fuel.

The sea trials were held on 2 March 1921 with the ship performing satisfactorily. Following their successful completion Montebello was handed over to her owners on March 4 and after applying final touches commissioned on March 9.

Operational history
Following delivery and commissioning, Montebello left Los Angeles for Port San Luis, the major oil storage and shipping facility for Union Oil, and arrived there on 10 March 1921. After loading a cargo of 81,000 barrels of oil the tanker left for San Francisco and reached her destination on March 12, successfully concluding her maiden voyage. Upon unloading the tanker departed San Francisco on March 14 bound for Vancouver via Port San Luis. After taking on board 41,000 barrels of fuel oil and 40,000 barrels of diesel fuel the tanker sailed out from Port San Luis on March 17 and reached her destination five days later. On her third trip the ship traveled to Puerto Lobos, one of the major oil storage ports in Mexico, and returned to San Pedro on 14 May 1921 carrying 11,000 tons of oil. The tanker then remained berthed in harbor until the end of August, and then re-entered the coast-wise service. As part of her service Montebello carried oil from Port San Luis to Union Oil refinery in Oleum, or from San Pedro to storage and refinery facilities at Martinez. She also made occasional trips along the Pacific coast to ports such as Vancouver, Portland or Seattle, and on occasion took her cargo to Honolulu. In 1924 the tanker became more involved in long haul operations conducting voyages to Hawaii and Canada with more frequency. In addition, Montebello started making trips to Balboa in the Panama Canal area and Chilean ports of Antofagasta, Iquique and Taltal. For example, on 8 July 1924 she delivered 10,000 tons of fuel oil to Balboa and on 6 January 1925 she left San Pedro carrying 76,801 barrels of oil bound for Antofagasta. In 1926 the service to the Panama Canal and Chile picked up significantly and became the tanker's primary routes of operation. Montebello remained in this service for the next five years at which point she was slowly over the next two years shifted back to coastline service along the West coast and to Hawaii.

During the night of 5 October 1930 while the tanker was at the Los Angeles Shipbuilding Corp. undergoing repairs she was boarded by a lone bandit who after shooting the third mate in the head proceeded to rob the safe in the captain's cabin and crew lockers getting away with nearly $3,000 in cash without being seen by any other witnesses. The police arrested a former Union Oil engine-room employee in connection with this robbery but he was later released due to lack of evidence against him.

In the second half of 1939 Montebello made three trips to the East Coast of the United States carrying on each occasion nearly 11,000 tons of crude oil to Baltimore and fuel oil to Boston. In November 1940 the tanker was chartered for one trip by Imperial Oil Shipping Co. to carry oil from Peru to Vancouver. Upon completion of the trip she returned to her usual duties.

Sinking
Montebello was slated to depart from Port San Luis some time before midnight on 21 December 1941. However, due to crew demanding increased war risk insurance payments, the departure was delayed until a replacement crew could be brought in from Los Angeles. The replacements arrived in the late evening of December 22, at which point it was learned that the ship's acting master suddenly became ill and had to be replaced too. After finding and signing on a new master, correcting paperwork and making final preparations Montebello finally sailed out from Port San Luis around 02:00 on December 23. The tanker was under command of captain Olof Walfrid Eckstrom, had a crew of thirty-eight and carried a cargo of 75,346 barrels of crude oil bound for Vancouver. The weather was overcast with drizzle but good visibility. At approximately 05:30 while about four miles west off Cambria, the captain noticed what appeared to be a submarine on the vessel's starboard side about half a mile distant. The submarine, later determined to be I-21, could be clearly seen in the darkness, and her conning tower and a deck gun were easily discernible. The captain immediately ordered the ship full speed ahead and to assume a zigzag course and informed the Navy about submarine sighting. Approximately ten minutes later I-21 fired two torpedoes at the tanker. One torpedo proved to be a dud, but the second one struck Montebello around #2 hold. Fortunately for the crew the hold where the torpedo struck was dry and did not contain any oil; however, the resulting explosion blew away the deck house and the radio room and knocked down the forward mast. An order to abandon ship was given and four lifeboats were launched. Seeing that the ship did not sink, the submarine proceeded to fire eight or nine shots at the hull of the stricken tanker. One shot hit the bow and blew it away speeding the tanker's sinking. At about 06:30 the ship started sinking rapidly and by 06:45 went completely under. The lifeboats were shot at by what appeared to be rifle fire from the submarine without injuring anyone. Three of the lifeboats containing thirty-three survivors were picked up by dispatched tug boats and landed in Cayucos. One lifeboat with the master in it reached the shore near San Simeon where it was wrecked. Everyone was saved by the watchers on the shore.

Wreck and its cargo
In an expedition conducted on November 7, 1996, the submersible Delta descended with two men on board to the wreck at a depth of  and found Montebello sitting upright on the bottom. Based on their observations it was concluded that a single torpedo hit Montebello just forward of the pump room. While the bow was broken from the impact with the sea floor, the overall condition of the wreck was thought to be quite good, giving rise to the concern that she could still hold her liquid cargo.  When she went down, Montebello held  of crude oil along with  of fuel oil for her engines.

In August 2010 the wreck was examined by a robot submarine from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute to determine whether the oil cargo was still on board and whether it posed a possible environmental threat. The expedition created three-dimension images of the ship using sonar, to be analyzed onshore. Jack Hunter, an archaeologist for Caltrans who examined the wreck in 1996 and compared the images from the 2010 expedition expressed concern that the wreck had deteriorated over the past 14 years and could represent a risk if the cargo leaked.

Further explorations of the wreck were scheduled for 2011 at an expected cost of $2.3 million, to be paid from a fund which oil companies pay into for such situations. After two weeks of extensive testing in October 2011, researchers determined that no crude oil remained in the tanker and such oil most likely was released from the vessel shortly after sinking and dissipated throughout the region.

The shipwreck was listed on the US National Register of Historic Places in 2016.

The Dorset House is an exhibit building at Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont, United States; it houses the museum's collection of 900 wildfowl decoys.

In 1953, Shelburne Museum purchased Dorset House, dismantled it, and reconstructed it on the museum grounds to house the collection of decoys, punt guns, and prints of sporting scenes.

History
Welcome Allen built Dorset House about 1832 in North Dorset, Vermont. Like many houses of its period, it reflects the popularity of Greek Revival architecture, which gained prominence in the United States during the second quarter of the 19th century. While classical design motifs had predominated in American architecture from the late 18th century, by the 19th century American architects began to draw inspiration specifically from Grecian temples. Often considered the first national style, Greek Revival architecture became so pervasive in the United States in part because regional architects could access the classical idiom through publications such as Stuart & Revett's Antiquities of Athens and Asher Benjamin's 1797 pattern book The Country Builder's Companion. Vernacular Greek Revival architecture developed across the United States as local builders combined classical elements with local traditions, creating distinct regional characteristics within the style.

Allen built Dorset House for his children, Florenze and Lucia. Allen's interpretation of the Greek Revival resulted in Dorset House's substantial yet unpretentious silhouette. He designed the house with mirroring wings so that his children and their families would have separate living quarters that they could access through individual doors. In combining the two cross-gabled flanking wings with the massive corniced façade, Allen achieved the classical balance and symmetry characteristic of the Greek Revival style.

Allen, and later his son Florenze, was proprietor of an iron foundry that produced stove plates, plow points, and kettles. Consequently, unlike most homes of the era, Allen designed Dorset House without open hearths and used closed iron stoves to heat the building instead.

Decoys
Wildfowl decoys, made to lure game birds to within shooting range, have been used by American hunters for centuries. Native Americans originated the idea over a thousand years ago in response to the abundance of the continent's wild game. The earliest decoys made by white settlers were probably carved in the late 18th century. The idea spread rapidly, and by 1840 the wooden decoy was firmly established in American hunting traditions.

Following the American Civil War, improved transpiration systems, more advanced weapons, and abundant game combined to create what has been called the greatest wildfowl hunt in history of the world. Professional market gunners worked in most areas supplying game to meet intense public demand. Well-made decoys were among the tools most vital to their trade. To meet the needs of the market gunners and the many well-to-do sportsmen who traveled from the cities to shoot birds, scores of craftsmen turned to decoy-making full-time. Just before 1900, such firms as Mason's decoy factory of Detroit, which employed a number of carvers working from the same patterns, offered decoys by mail order. Federal conservation legislation brought the market-gunning era to an end just after World War I. However, sportsmen continued to hunt over wooden decoys until after World War II, when inexpensive molded plastic decoys took over the marketplace.

Shelburne Museum's collection of nearly nine hundred working decoys, housed in Dorset House, is the finest and most comprehensive public collection in the world. It contains superb examples by master craftsmen from all over North America, including an Elmer Crowell—whose wide variety of working decoys, decorative carvings and miniatures prove him to be the most versatile of the old-time masters—and such well-known carvers as Bill Bowman, Lee Dudley, Nathan Cobb, Lem Ward, Steve Ward, Joseph Lincoln, Albert Laing, Shang Wheeler, George Warin and John Blair. There is also a small collection of fish decoys, used by ice fishermen to lure pike, muskellunge and other predators within spearing range.

Every major hunting area in North America produced decoys. Differences in hunting methods and water conditions affected local decoy-making traditions, and dozens of regional variations developed. Exhibits in the Dorset House are arranged by region to allow easy comparison of the treatment of like species by carvers from different regions and more subtly within regions. Maine decoys, for example as seen in the work of Gus Wilson, are typically solid-bodied with wide, flat bottoms and simple paint patterns. By contrast Illinois decoys such as those made by Robert and Catherine Elliston are hollow-bodied with rounded bottoms and elaborately detailed paint. Other regional styles, including those of Louisiana, Virginia, the Chesapeake Bay, New Jersey, Long Island, Connecticut, Quebec and Ontario, are equally distinctive.

In addition to decoys, many carvers crafted miniatures and decorative birds. Elmer Crowell of Cape Cod was a pioneer in these areas. He offered his customers what he called a "songless aviary", producing miniature songbirds, shorebirds, and ducks insets of 25 species and also creating many life-sized decorative carvings of birds and fish. A wide variety of Crowell's work, including a heron used as a garden ornament, several wall-mounted flying birds and nearly a hundred miniatures, is exhibited in the Dorset House. Miniatures and decorative carvings by such other masters as Lem Ward, A.J. King and Harold Haertel are also on exhibit.

The 2009 Clipsal 500 was the first race of the 2009 V8 Supercar Championship Series. It was held on the weekend of 20–22 March around the inner city streets of Adelaide, the capital of South Australia.

Qualifying
Qualifying was held on Friday 20 March, and was split into two sessions. Session one lasted for 34 minutes, 15 seconds and saw the top ten drivers qualifying for the Top Ten Shootout, with positions 11–30 being set by times in the session. In this first session, reigning series champion Jamie Whincup set the pace, setting a new qualifying lap record of 1:21.2773. Although he was some half a second slower in the Shootout, Whincup was still quick enough to lead a Triple Eight Race Engineering 1–2 with Craig Lowndes 0.2545 seconds behind. Mark Winterbottom and Lee Holdsworth had both gone faster than Lowndes but both drivers lost their respective times due to excessive use of kerbing during their hot laps. Garth Tander was top Holden in third, with James Courtney qualifying fourth, in his first session as a Dick Johnson Racing driver.

Acanthicus adonis, the adonis pleco or polka dot lyre-tail pleco, is a large species of armored catfish. It was originally described from the lower Tocantins River in Brazil, but individuals resembling the species have also been recorded from Amazonian Peru. The species is occasionally seen in the aquarium trade, but its massive adult size and territorially aggressive behavior means that a very large tank is required. These fish are opportunistic omnivores.

Appearance
Acanthicus adonis is among the largest armored catfish species and reaches a length of .

It is dark brown to black with numerous white spots as a juvenile. As the fish matures, the spots become less numerous and smaller, often disappearing entirely in large adults. Its close relative A. hystrix always lack white spots, regardless of age. In contrast, A. adonis lacks the vermiculated pattern often (but not always) found on the underparts of A. hystrix.

Ivan Nelipić (died 1344) was a local ruler and Duke of Knin (knez Knina), who also held Drniš and the region around the rivers Cetina, Čikola, Krka, and Zrmanja. He was a member of the Croatian Nelipić noble family. Following the fall of the Šubić noble family, Ivan Nelipić seized Knin and successfully repelled attacks from both King Charles I and the Šubić noble family, becoming the most powerful individual in Croatia between 1322 and 1344.

Biography
Ivan Nelipić was a son of the nobleman George (Juraj) and had a brother Isan II, whose son Constantine was Nelipić's ally.

Rise of power
Ivan Nelipić's career began at the court of Mladen II Šubić of Bribir, where he held the title of Voivode. Consequently, he was among the nobles who revolted against Mladen's rule and saw his downfall at the 1322 Battle of Bliska. He then expelled the royal forces from Knin and made the city his seat. He was supported by the three brothers of Mladen II Šubić; Juraj II Šubić, Grgur III Šubić and Pavao II Šubić.

Nelipac's plight

King Charles Robert ordered the new Ban of Slavonia Nicholas Felsőlendvai and Stepan II of Kotroman to launch a joint offensive against Nelipić in Croatia. Nicholas' expedition eventually failed, although, it did rise up Juraj II Šubić (brother of Mladen II Šubić) against Nelipić, as well as the Princes from Krka Frangepans, the City of Zadar and eventually, the Ban of Bosnia Stepan II himself. The movement wanted to return the Šubić dynasty to power in Croatia with Juraj II Šubić at the Throne. Stepan again changed allegiances and now fought for the Šubićs again. It all eventually turned into an all-out war when the armies of Prince Nelipac and Juraj II Šubić clashed near the waterfalls of Krka in the Summer of 1324. Stepan gave considerable support to the Šubićs, but he did not dare involve into the fight himself. It was good that he didn't, because the Šubić's party was massacred near Knin and Juraj II Šubić himself was captured by Prince Nelipić soon. Stepan had attempted to liberate Juraj II from imprisonment, but all attempts failed.

Prince Nelipić immediately pushed the fight against Stepan II. Nelipić managed to conquer the city of Visuć, but Stepan's long-ago given privileges to the nobility had finally been proven useful, as Vuk of Vukoslav had helped him to retake the city. Although Stepan's military ambitions only relatively successful he continued to wage war against the enemies of the Šubićs. His target was the City of Trogir which was one of the major supporters of Nelipić's campaigning. Stepan has adopted a harsh tactic. His forces have raided Caravans from Trogir, which eventually forced its denizens to humbly sign peace and addressed to him as the high and mighty lord Stepan free ruler and master of Bosnia, Usora and Soli and many other places and Prince of the Hum. It is because of this that Stepan opened a conflict with the Republic of Dubrovnik regarding trade. Stepan was shown as a very tough negotiator and the negotiations have finally ended in 1326.

After seeing that Ban Nicholas Felsőlendvai was unable to weaken the position of Prince Nelipić, Hungarian King Charles I Robert deposed him. The new man for the job was one o his most trusted men, Mikcs Ákos. Ban Mikcs advanced to Croatia in the Summer of 1325. Bosnian Ban Stepan II sent squadrons of troops to assist him in his offensive. In 1326, Mikcs took the cities of the Babonić family advance deeper into Croatia, meeting with Stepan's reinforcements. The expedition eventually reached little success, so Mikcs sent a portion of his army to Bihać which would serve as defence against possible Nelipić's counterattacks and retreated to Hungary, to the King.

Family connections
Ivan Nelipić had a nephew, Konstantin, who helped him in his reign. Soon after Nelipić's death in 1344, Konstantin also died 1355. Nelipić was married to princess Vladislava Kurjaković from Krbava and had a son Ivan II Nelipac.

Acanthicus hystrix, the lyre-tail pleco, is a species of armored catfish native to the Amazon, Tocantins–Araguaia and Orinoco basins. It is typically found at various depths on a rock or rock–gravel bottom in the main channel of rivers in places with moderate to strong current, although it also occurs in slow currents. The species is occasionally seen in the aquarium trade, but its adult size and territorially aggressive behavior means that a very large tank is required.

Appearance
It grows to  in standard length, but may possibly reach . Its color ranges from medium-brown to near-black (especially those from the Madeira, Branco and Xingu rivers are dark), and the underparts often have a vermiculated pattern. Some of the variants are commonly considered as separate, undescribed species in the aquarium trade (e.g., L193 from the Orinoco basin and L407 from the Branco basin; in the L-number system), but there is extensive overlap in the morphometrics of the different populations. Unlike the polka dot lyre-tail pleco (A. adonis), A. hystrix never has white spots. Adults males are especially spiny with extensive odontodes on the cheeks and opercle.
