The Church of St Peter and St Paul dominates the village of Bleadon, Somerset, England.

It was built in the 14th century (dedicated in 1317), being restored and the chancel shortened in the mid 19th century. It is a Grade I listed building.

The tower, which has been dated to around 1390, contains five bells dating from 1711 and made by Edward Bilbie of the Bilbie family, and one from 1925 by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.

The interior of the church includes a Norman tub font and a pulpit dating from about 1460. The Sweetland organ dates from 1893 and was moved to its present position in 1956. The stained glass window is from 1964.

The Anglican parish is part of the Bleadon benefice within the archdeaconry of Bath.

The Way I Really Play (also released as The Great Oscar Peterson on Prestige!) is a 1968 album by jazz pianist Oscar Peterson. It is the third part of Peterson's Exclusively for My Friends series.

Reception

Writing for AllMusic, critic Ken Dryden wrote "The influence of Art Tatum is apparent during his intricate runs within "Love Is Here to Stay," while the multifaceted original "Sandy's Blues" (dedicated to his wife) combines a dark mood with a swinging setting. The lighthearted waltzing treatment of "Alice in Wonderland" is pure joy, while another original, "Noreen's Nocturne," is simply a showstopper."

The Penguin Guide to Jazz includes the album in its selected "Core Collection."

 "Waltzing Is Hip" (Ray Brown, Johnny Wayne) – 6:11
 "Satin Doll" (Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer, Billy Strayhorn) – 10:05

Brandon Lee Dickson (born November 3, 1984) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He previously played in Major League Baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals, and in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) for the Orix Buffaloes.

Career

St. Louis Cardinals

Dickson was signed as an undrafted free agent by the St. Louis Cardinals in 2006, after attending Tusculum College. In 2006, playing for the New Market Rebels in the Valley Baseball League, Dickson had a league-leading and franchise record 13 saves, and led the league in wins, going 5–0 in 26 relief appearances. He made his professional debut with the Johnson City Cardinals.

In 2007, with Single-A Quad Cities, Dickson's statline included an 11–7 win–loss record, with one save, and a 3.50 earned run average (ERA), in 31 games pitched (23 as a starting pitcher), covering 144 innings. He split the 2008 season between the High-A Palm Beach Cardinals and the Double-A Springfield Cardinals, posting a 10–10 record and 4.17 ERA in 29 appearances. In 2009, with Springfield, Dickson was 8–10, with a 3.78 ERA, 28 games (20 starts), in  innings. In 2010, Dickson pitched for the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds, and went 11–8 with a 3.23 ERA, in 28 games (27 starts), covering 167 innings. In 2011, Dickson was invited to his first major league spring training, but did not make the big league club; he was assigned to Triple-A Memphis to begin the season.

Dickson's contract was purchased by the Cardinals from Memphis on June 30, 2011, to fill the roster spot created by Ryan Franklin's release the previous day, and he was promoted to the major leagues for the first time. Dickson made his major league debut on July 2, against the Tampa Bay Rays, pitching a perfect  innings in relief. In his rookie season, Dickson posted a 0–0 record, with a 3.24 ERA, in four games (one game started). He spent the majority of the 2012 season in Memphis, but appeared in 4 major league game for the Cardinals, logging a 7.11 ERA with 6 strikeouts in 6.1 innings of work. Dickson was released by the Cardinals organization on November 19, 2012.

Orix Buffaloes
On December 27, 2012, Dickson signed with the Orix Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB). For the 2013 season, Dickson pitched to an 8–8 record and 2.77 ERA in 23 appearances. The next year, Dickson logged a 9–10 record and 3.33 ERA in 26 games for Orix. In 2015, Dickson pitched in 20 games for the Buffaloes, posting a 9–9 record and 2.48 ERA with 88 strikeouts in 130.2 innings pitched.

On September 27, 2015, Dickson signed a one-year extension to remain with the Buffaloes. For the 2016 season, Dickson recorded a 9–11 record and 4.36 ERA with 139 strikeouts in 171.1 innings of work. In 2017, he pitched to a 8–9 record and 3.24 ERA in 25 games. On September 5, 2017, Dickson signed a one-year extension to remain with the Buffaloes. For the 2018 season, Dickson registered a 4–6 record and 3.55 ERA with 84 strikeouts in 99.0 innings pitched. In 2019, Dickson pitched to a 2–1 record with a 3.03 ERA and 18 saves in 37 appearances out of the bullpen.

With the conclusion of the 2019 season — Dickson's seventh year with the NPB Buffaloes — he had an overall record of 49–55, with 18 saves, and a 3.26 ERA. In  innings pitched, Dickson recorded 661 strikeouts. On December 20, 2019, Dickson signed a one-year extension to remain with the Buffaloes. In 2020 with Orix, Dickson logged a 0–4 record and 3.28 ERA with 16 saves in 39 appearances.

For the 2021 season, Dickson was unlikely to make it to Japan, as the Japanese government was not issuing new visas and his family could not accompany him. On May 20, 2021, the Buffaloes released Dickson.

St. Louis Cardinals (second stint)
On June 14, 2021, Dickson signed a minor league contract with the St. Louis Cardinals organization and was assigned to the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds. Dickson made 11 appearances for Memphis, going 1–0 with a 9.58 ERA and five strikeouts. On September 1, 2021, Dickson's contract was selected by the Cardinals.  On September 6, Dickson was designated for assignment after posting a 13.50 ERA across 2 appearances. Dickson was outrighted to Triple-A Memphis two days later. On September 18, the Cardinals released Dickson.

International career
On October 10, 2019, Dickson was selected to play with the United States national baseball team at the 2019 WBSC Premier12. He tied for the tournament lead in the tournament with Japan national baseball team’s Yasuaki Yamasaki, with three saves, and was named the best reliever in the tournament.

In May 2021, Dickson was named to the roster of the national team for qualifying for baseball at the 2020 Summer Olympics. After the team qualified, he was named to the Olympics roster on July 2. The team went on to win silver, falling to Japan in the gold-medal game.

USS Lough (DE-586) was a Rudderow-class destroyer escort in service with the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946. She was sold for scrapping in 1970.

Namesake
John Cady Lough was born on 22 November 1915 in Geneseo, Illinois. He attended Illinois Wesleyan University and enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve on 2 December 1940. Appointed aviation cadet on 6 March 1941, he trained at Naval Air Station Miami and was commissioned Ensign on 1 November 1941. As a member of Scouting Squadron 6 on the USS Enterprise, he was lost in the Battle of Midway on 4 June 1942. He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for courageous devotion to duty in the face of formidable antiaircraft fire and fierce fighter opposition.

Construction and commissioning
Lough was laid down 8 December 1943 by Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard, Inc., Hingham, Massachusetts; launched 22 January 1944; sponsored by Miss Rose Anne Lough, sister of Ensign Lough; and commissioned at Boston 2 May 1944.

History
Lough shookdown off Bermuda and in June 1944 began coastal escort from Norfolk, Virginia to New York City, then guarded a convoy to Bizerte and another back to the United States. She arrived Espiritu Santo from Panama 1 November and joined the service force of the 3rd Fleet as escort from the Solomons and New Guinea to Manus, where she witnessed the disastrous explosion of ammunition ship  20 November and participated in the fruitless search for survivors.

Rendezvousing 10 November at Hollandia, New Guinea, she escorted 7th Fleet Commander, Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid for the amphibious landing at San Pedro Bay, Leyte. Arriving 25 November she fought off her first air attack almost at once. She served on escort and patrol in the Philippines until the fighting ended, twice voyaging to Hollandia for resupply echelons.

While protecting the landing of the 11th Airborne Division on Nasugbu 31 January 1945, Lough engaged about 20 suicide boats armed with depth charges that attacked the screen, sinking an undetermined number of the enemy. She then pulled from the water 63 survivors of less fortunate USS PC-1129. Two nights later Lough and , fearing a similar attack, sank two friendly PT boats, which approached without identifying themselves.

After hostilities ceased she left Manila 24 August on the first of a series of escort missions to Okinawa which continued until 28 November, when she left for Eniwetok, Pearl Harbor, and San Pedro, Los Angeles, arriving 18 December.

Lough decommissioned at San Diego 24 June 1946 and entered the Pacific Reserve Fleet at Stockton, California. She was sold for scrapping in October 1970.

Lough received three battle stars for World War II service.

S-23 is an investigational selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) developed by GTX, Inc as a potential male hormonal contraceptive. It binds to the androgen receptor more strongly than older drugs such as andarine with a Ki of 1.7 nM, and in animal studies it showed both a good ratio of anabolic to androgenic effects, and dose-dependent suppression of spermatogenesis with spontaneous recovery after cessation of treatment.

Sir William Temple (1555–1627) was an English Ramist logician and fourth Provost of Trinity College Dublin.

Early life
William Temple was born the son of the Leicestershire man Anthony Temple, whose family name was said to descend from the Knight Templars, a once powerful monastic order during the Crusades, but which was outlawed by Pope Clement V. The rituals and the secrets of the order survived and many of the Knight Templars families came to prominence in 16th-century England when Protestantism was embraced. He was educated at Eton College and passed with a scholarship to King's College, Cambridge, in 1573. In 1576 he was elected a fellow of King's, and graduated with a B.A. in 1577–8 and M.A. in philosophy in 1581. He became Master of Lincoln Grammar School that same year. Though originally destined for the law, he became a tutor in logic at his college. "In his logic readings," wrote a pupil, Anthony Wotton, in his Runne from Rome (1624), "he always laboured to fit his pupils for the true use of that art rather than for vain and idle speculations." He accepted with enthusiasm the logical methods and views of Petrus Ramus, and became the most active champion of the Ramists in England.

Arrival in Ireland
William Temple's first sight of Ireland came as he landed at Howth in April 1599 to take up his position as secretary to the new lord lieutenant, Robert Devereux, and 2nd Earl of Essex. It was a baptism of fire as their first great task was to suppress a major rebellion of the native Irish tribes who had now united with the Anglo-Normans. While Essex campaigned around the country, Temple stayed behind in Dublin that summer relaying news of military deployment and successes to the Royal Court, Essex, once Elizabeth's most trusted confidant and intimate advisor, now became the unappreciated and maligned viceroy falling foul of the ageing queen. Both he and William Temple were ignominiously recalled to London that same autumn.

Ramist controversies
In 1580 he replied in print to an attack on Ramus's position by Everard Digby. Adopting the pseudonym "Franciscus Mildapettus of Navarre" (Ramus had studied in youth at the Parisian Collège de Navarre), he issued a tract against Digby. The work was dedicated to Philip Howard, 1st Earl of Arundel, whose acquaintance Temple had made while the earl was studying at Cambridge. Digby replied with great heat next year, and Temple retorted with a volume published under his own name. This he again dedicated to his patron the Earl of Arundel, and he announced his identity with Mildapettus. He appended to the volume an elaborate epistle addressed to another Ramist, Johannes Piscator of Strasburg, professor at Herborn Academy.

Temple's contributions to the controversy attracted notice abroad, and this volume was reissued at Frankfort in 1584. Meanwhile, in 1582 Temple had concentrated his efforts on Piscator's writings, and he published in 1582 a second letter to Piscator with the latter's full reply.

In 1581, Temple had supplicated for incorporation as M.A. at Oxford, and soon afterwards he left Cambridge to take up the office of master of the Lincoln grammar school. In 1584 he published an annotated edition of Ramus's Dialectics. It was published at Cambridge by Thomas Thomas, the university printer, and is said to have been the first book that issued from the university press. A further reply to Piscator was appended. The dedication was to Sir Philip Sidney. In the same year Temple contributed a long preface, in which he renewed with spirit the war on Aristotle, to the Disputatio de prima simplicium et concretorum corporum generatione, by a fellow Ramist, James Martin of Dunkeld, professor of philosophy at Turin. This also came from Thomas's press at Cambridge: it was republished at Frankfort in 1589. In the same place there was issued in 1591 a severe criticism of both Martin's argument and Temple's preface by an Aristotelian, Andreas Libavius, in his Quaestionum Physicarum controversarum inter Peripateticos et Rameos Tractatus (Frankfort, 1591).

Secretary
Temple's writings attracted the attention of Sir Philip Sidney, to whom the edition of Ramus's Dialectics was dedicated in 1584, and Sidney invited Temple to become his secretary in November 1585, when he was appointed governor of Flushing. He was with Sidney during his fatal illness in the autumn of the following year, and his master died in his arms (17 October 1586). Sidney left him by will an annuity of £30.

Temple's services were next sought successively by William Davison, the queen's secretary, and Sir Thomas Smith, clerk of the privy council. But about 1594 he joined the household of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, and for many years performed secretarial duties for the earl in conjunction with Anthony Bacon, Henry Cuff, and Sir Henry Wotton. In 1597 he was, by Essex's influence, returned to parliament as member for Tamworth in Staffordshire.

He seems to have accompanied Essex to Ireland in 1599, and to have returned with him next year. When Essex was engaged in organising his rebellion in London in the winter of 1600–1, Temple was still in his service, but he protested in a letter to Sir Robert Cecil, written after Essex's arrest, that he was kept in complete ignorance of the plot. Temple's fortunes were prejudiced by Essex's fall:  Sir Robert Cecil is said to have viewed him with marked disfavour.

Consequently, despairing of success in political affairs, Temple turned anew to literary study. In 1605 he brought out, with a dedication to Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales,  A Logicall Analysis of Twentye Select Psalmes performed by W. Temple. He is apparently the person named Temple for whom Bacon vainly endeavoured, through Thomas Murray of the privy chamber, to procure the honour of knighthood in 1607–1608.

Provost
On 14 November 1609 Temple was made Provost of Trinity College Dublin. Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, the Chancellor of the university - despite his own rather low opinion of Temple - was induced to assent to the nomination at the request of James Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh.

Temple was appointed a master in chancery at Dublin on 31 January 1609–10, and he was returned to the Irish House of Commons as member for Dublin University in April 1613. He represented that constituency until his death.

Temple proved himself an efficient administrator of both college and university, attempting to bring them into conformity at all points with the educational system in vogue at the University of Cambridge. Many of his innovations became features of the academic organisation of Dublin. By careful manipulation of the revenues of the college he increased the number of fellows from four to sixteen, and the number of scholars from twenty-eight to seventy. The fellows he was the first to divide into two classes, making seven of them senior fellows, and nine of them junior. The general government of the institution he entrusted to the senior fellows. He instituted many other administrative offices, to each of which he allotted definite functions, and his scheme of college offices remained unchanged for many years.

He drew up new statutes for both the college and the university, and endeavoured to obtain from King James I a new charter, extending the privileges which Queen Elizabeth I had granted in 1595. He was in London from May 1616 to May 1617 seeking to induce the government to accept his proposals, but his efforts failed.

His tenure in the office of provost was not altogether free from controversy. He defied the order of Archbishop George Abbot that he and his colleagues should wear surplices in chapel. He insisted that as a layman he was entitled to dispense with that formality. Privately he was often in pecuniary difficulties, from which he sought to extricate himself by alienating the college estates to his wife and other relatives.

Temple was knighted by the Lord Deputy of Ireland, Sir Oliver St. John on 4 May 1622, and died at Trinity College Dublin, on 15 January 1626 – 1627, being buried in the old college chapel (since pulled down). At the date of his death negotiations were begun for his resignation owing to 'his age and weakness' His will, dated 21 December 1626, is preserved in the public record office at Dublin. He possessed much land in Ireland.

Family
His wife Martha, daughter of Robert Harrison, of a Derbyshire family, was sole executrix. By her, Temple left two sons, Sir John Temple, afterwards Master of the Rolls in Ireland, and Thomas; and three daughters, Catharine, Mary, and Martha. The second son, Thomas, a fellow of Trinity College Dublin, became rector of Old Ross, in the diocese of Ferns, on 6 March 1626 – 1627. He subsequently achieved a reputation as a puritan preacher in London, where he exercised his ministry at Battersea from 1641 onwards. He preached before the Long Parliament, and was a member of the Westminster Assembly.

His legacy
His Statutes of Trinity College Dublin survived well into the 19th century, but he failed in his primary role of advancing the college aim of a Protestant seminary. He refused to encourage the Irish language within Trinity and regarded the destruction of the Irish language and culture as a necessary prerequisite to defeating the native Irish way of life. This in effect meant that Trinity's newly educated Protestant clergy were ill-equipped and unwilling to minister in Gaelic Ireland which made a mockery of King James the Sixth's grand plan to eliminate Catholicism and replace it with Protestantism in a complete religious and cultural transformation of Irish society.

On a personal level, his family dynasty flourished after his demise, particularly with the arrival of Cromwell's Puritan Age. His descendants include First Lords of the Admiralty, Secretaries of State, Keepers of the Privy Seal, First Lords of the Treasury and prime minister Lord Palmerston, whose name came from the family estate that is now a Dublin village. His son and grandson both lived from time to time in their city townhouse that is now part of The Temple Bar. The family continued to pay Dublin Corporation an annual ground rent of £40 for this property for almost 200 years.

Top Town was a New Zealand game show series where teams from different towns in New Zealand competed in various obstacle challenges against each other, along the lines of the earlier British series It's a Knockout. The show first ran in New Zealand between 1976 and 1990 and made a return in a slightly different form in 2009. The new format has similarities to Wipeout.

Top Town first screened on New Zealand television in 1976, the original Top Town competition took place at a different town each week with all competitions taking place on a local sports field. The show made a return in 2009 but due to health and safety regulations the new competition had to take on water with all teams now competing at Jellie Park in Christchurch.

2009 teams

In each of the first five weeks, three teams competed, with the five winning teams and a wild card team going onto the semi-finals. The winning teams from the two semi finals then competed for the title of Top Town in the grand final with the winning town taking home the Top Town trophy.

La Grenouille (French for "The Frog") is a French restaurant at 3 East 52nd Street between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Founded in 1962 by former Henri Soulé apprentice Charles Masson Sr. and his wife Gisèle, later with sons Philippe and Charles, La Grenouille became a location of choice among New York, U.S., and eventually international diners, including designers from the nearby Garment District of Manhattan. It is the last operating New York French haute cuisine restaurant from the 1960s, and remains a highly rated restaurant.

History
The building at 3 East 52nd Street dates back to 1871. La Grenouille, the restaurant that now occupies the building, was founded in 1962 by Charles Masson Sr., a former Henri Soulé apprentice, and his wife Gisèle. Charles Masson Sr. had worked under Henri Soulé in Soule's original Le Pavillon restaurant at the 1939 World's Fair.

After the passing of Charles Sr. in 1975, Gisèle continued to manage the restaurant until 2010. Their eldest son, Charles Jr., assisted Gisèle with her management duties from 1975 until 1994. At that time, Gisèle’s younger son Philippe took over Charles Jr.’s duties until 2000, whereupon Charles Jr. returned. Gisèle passed away on November 5, 2014. After her death, Charles Jr. stepped down as Manager in 2014 amidst a dispute with his brother.

La Grenouille is currently operated by Philippe Masson, and has been since 2014. It is the last operating New York French haute cuisine restaurant from the 1960s,  having outlasted other well-known French restaurants like Lutèce, which closed in 2004.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Le Petit Prince
Earlier in the 20th century, before La Grenouille occupied the building of 3 East 52nd Street, the French painter Bernard LaMotte has his studio in the upper floors. An informal salon of creative people visited him, including Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich, Jean Gabin, and the writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who wrote a good deal of Le Petit Prince there. In 2000, La Section Americaine du Souvenir Francais, put up a plaque outside the restaurant, memorializing the aviator and writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery, who often visited the building while in exile from German-occupied France during World War II.

Menu

The menu of La Grenouille is essentially entirely "haute French cuisine," with menus presenting the French names of classic and more modern dishes, followed by the English translation, and an English description. Classic dinner menu staples include sole grillée (grilled sole), sautéed frogs legs, and the chocolate and Grand Marnier soufflés for dessert. As of June 2023, the three-course prix-fixe "main seating" menu was $185 per person and the two-course prix-fixe main seating menu was $155 per person. There is also a "Late Night Jazz Menu" and a take-out menu.

Renown
Aside from its haute French cuisine, La Grenouille is notable for its clientele, and is considered a location of choice among New York, U.S., and international diners. A segment of this clientele includes designers from the nearby New York fashion district; it has been spoken of as a hotspot for its notables, e.g. Elle magazine creative director Joe Zee. Throughout its history, La Grenouille's patrons and visitors have included Salvador Dalí, Carolina Herrera, Pauline Trigère,  former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Woody Allen and more.

In addition, the restaurant is famous for its lavish floral arrangements and romantic lighting, a tradition started by Charles Masson Sr. and continued by his sons Charles Jr. and  Philippe Masson. In 2008, Charles Jr. recounted for Vanity Fair magazine the story of his father painting individual lightbulbs with peach-colored paint to achieve the desired lighting effect, until G.E. started producing a similar bulb. When G.E. eventually discontinued the bulb in 1974, a crisis was averted when the Massons were able to custom order 50,000 similar lightbulbs from Westinghouse.

In 1972 W magazine referred to it one of "Les Six, the last bastions of grand luxe dining in New York." The other five were Lutèce, La Caravelle, La Côte Basque, Lafayette, and Quo Vadis. La Grenouille is the last operating New York French haute cuisine restaurant from the 1960s, a time when it dominated New York City's French haute cuisine.

In 2012, the restaurant won the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Service.

Controversy
In 2014, Charles Masson Jr. stepped down from his longtime role as general manager amid a bitter, longstanding dispute with his younger brother Philippe, who then took over direction of the restaurant. In 2021, the dispute between the brothers even led to fears that La Grenouille might close.

The Church of the Holy Trinity in Burrington, Somerset, England, is from the 15th century and was restored in 1884. It is a Grade I listed building.

The tower is square with diagonal buttresses but joins somewhat uncomfortably with the nave. It dates from the early 14th century. It contains a bell dating from 1713 and made by Edward Bilbie of the Bilbie family.

The rest of the church is all late Perpendicular. There are a few remnants of pre-Reformation stained glass but the great majority of the windows are Victorian. Of these the most notable are: the window in the south wall of the south aisle by Warrington; the window from the east in the south aisle by Charles Eamer Kempe; the west window of the south aisle by Warde and Hughes; and the west window of the north aisle by Heaton, Butler and Bayne. One window includes the arms of the Capels of Langford Court.

The pews were installed in 1913 in memory of William Wills, 1st Baron Winterstoke.

In 2000 a gold leaf weathervane was erected at the top of the tower.

In 2013, she appeared on Australian Channel Seven's soap drama Home and Away.

Wells moved to London on the advice of Raye Cosbert (Amy Winehouse's manager) who told her to do more Topline work along with her solo projects. Wells began a writing hub with celebrity DJ Kaz James and Belgium punk and pop producer/composer Nico Renson.

In 2014 Wells met Danish fashion designer Christian Back and moved to Copenhagen where she was signed with Sony Denmark for her single "Overbite". "Overbite" was used by Elie SaaB for their Cannes Film Festival campaign.

USS Peiffer (DE-588) was a Rudderow-class destroyer escort in service with the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946. She was sold for scrapping in 1967.

Namesake
Carl David Peiffer was born on 18 September 1915 in Wilmington, North Carolina. He enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve on 13 December 1940; was appointed Aviation Cadet on 5 March 1941; and was commissioned Ensign on 25 September 1941. Following training at Naval Air Station Norfolk, he reported for duty with Scouting Squadron 6 on the  on 11 March 1942. He was killed in action during the Battle of Midway on 4 June 1942. He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross "...for extraordinary heroism and courageous devotion to duty..." exhibited as he "...pressed home his attacks in the face of a formidable barrage of anti-aircraft fire and fierce fighter opposition."

Construction and service
Peiffer was laid down 21 December 1943 by the Bethlehem-Hingham Shipyard, Inc., Hingham, Mass.; launched 26 January 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Frank W. Peiffer, mother of the ship's namesake; and commissioned 15 June 1944.

Following shakedown off Bermuda, Peiffer trained with submarines off southern New England and on 30 September 1944 got underway, with Escort Division 71, for the Panama Canal. She arrived Seeadler Harbor, Manus, 7 November. Steaming then to Hollandia, she escorted a convoy to Leyte and back, and, on 28 December, joined Task Group 78.5 for the invasion of Luzon. Sailing northwest 30 December, she screened the Blue Beach attack group to the San Fabian assault area, then continued to provide anti-submarine arid anti-aircraft protection for the group during the initial landings, 9 January 1945. The following day she retired and on the 13th arrived in Leyte Gulf, whence she escorted LST's carrying supplies and reinforcements to Luzon.

Detached from the 7th Amphibious Force 20 February, Peiffer reported for duty with the Philippine Sea Frontier, with which she remained for the final months of World War II. During that time she interrupted inter-island escort of convoy and anti-submarine patrol duties only once, in late July, to escort  to Guam. Returning to Leyte 10 August, she remained in the Far East after the Japanese surrender and during the next few months patrolled in Philippine waters, escorted convoys to Okinawa, and, prior to sailing for the United States, carried personnel to Shanghai. On 24 November departed the China coast, and after a brief return to the Philippines, steamed east.

Peiffer arrived at San Pedro, Los Angeles, 4 January 1946. In March she shifted to San Diego where she decommissioned, 1 June 1946, and entered the Pacific Reserve Fleet. She was struck from the Navy List 1 December 1966 and her hulk was destroyed as a target 16 May 1967.

Peiffer earned one battle star during World War II.

Janusz Szpotański, (pen names Władysław Gnomacki, Aleksander Oniegow; 12 January 1929 in Warsaw – 13 October 2001 in Warsaw), was a Polish poet, satirist, critic, translator, literary theorist and chess player (a three times chess champion of Warsaw, he also held a nationwide title of Master).

He was the creator of satirical tragi-comedic poems which ridiculed the communist government of Poland. These works were often written in an absurdist, grotesque style, and specifically lampooned prominent members of the Polish communist party, as well as the general "low life" mentality of the average Communist Party member.

He is best known for creating the character of "Towarzysz Szmaciak" (literally: Comrade Dishrag, but idiomatically Comrade Cretin or Comrade Scumbag) - an uneducated, dull, cynical, sadistic, anti-semitic and stupid individual who supported the communist party out of opportunistic, not ideological motives. The metaphor of a "dishrag" alludes to the fact that individuals of this kind, while forming the support base of communism in Poland at the time, where considered useful by the party elite (much like a dishrag is necessary to clean up dirt) but at the same time despised by them (since the dishrag itself is dirty). For ridiculing Władysław Gomułka in his poem "Cisi i gęgacze" (The Silent and the Blabbers) he was arrested in 1967 and in 1968 sentenced to three years in prison on the charge of "spreading information harmful to the interests of state". During the March events of 1968, Gomułka referred to him in several of his official speeches, calling him "a man with a mentality of a pimp" and referring to his work as "reactionary doggerel" which "breathed with poisonous sadistic venom against our (communist) authority".

Szpotański was a member of the Stowarzyszenie Pisarzy Polskich (Union of Polish Writers).

On 23 September 2006 he was posthumously awarded the Polonia Restituta Commander's Cross by President of Poland, Lech Kaczyński.

The Ukraine national speedway team are one of the nations who compete in international motorcycle speedway.

History

As the Soviet Union
The Soviet Union speedway team (which was comprised predominantly of Russian riders but also Ukrainian, Latvian and Belarus riders) first competed in the 1961 edition of the Speedway World Team Cup, where they finished second in the East European round. Throughout the history of World Team Cup, the team were regular World Cup contenders from 1961 until their final World Cup in 1983. They reached the final on 12 occasions, winning the silver medal five times, in 1964, 1966, 1971, 1972, 1975 and the bronze medals three times, in 1967, 1969 and 1973.

As the Ukraine
Following the Dissolution of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991, the riders then competed for their new speedway nations of Russia, Latvia and the Ukraine.

The Ukraine national team first competed in the World Team Cup at the 1993 Speedway World Team Cup, finishing 4th in Group D (the fourth tier of the World Cup). In 1995, they reached Group A for the first time and finished in 12th place and in 1997 improved to 10th place, which is their best international result to date, although they repeated it in 1998.

In 2001, the World Team Cup was rebranded the Speedway World Cup and Ukraine struggled to qualify and did not enter a team due to the lack of riders available from 2001 to 2010. In 2011, they returned to World Cup and Speedway of Nations (introduced in 2018) action but have yet to make a final.

As one of the smaller speedway nations the team take part in the European Pairs Speedway Championship and won the gold medal at the 2012 European Pairs Speedway Championship, with Andriy Karpov and Aleksandr Loktaev.

International caps
Since the advent of the Speedway Grand Prix era, international caps earned by riders is largely restricted to international competitions, whereas previously test matches between two teams were a regular occurrence. This means that the number of caps earned by a rider has decreased in the modern era.

Heinrich Heidersberger (10 June 1906, in Ingolstadt – 14 July 2006) was a German photographer noted for his work on architectural subjects.

Heidersberger attended the now defunct Académie Moderne, formerly at 86 rue Notre-Dame des Champs in Montparnasse. There he studied painting under Fernand Léger. His surrealist work was inspired at least in part by Man Ray. He worked for Stern magazine in the 1940s, wherein he published a controversial series of erotic photographs involving projected light and shadows on nude women.

An institute for presenting the heritage of Heinrich Heidersberger was set up by his son Benjamin in 2002. Among other projects he organized an exhibition in Cuba with works about the country from the 1950s, in cooperation with the Cuban Culture Ministry.

Walk the Proud Land is a 1956 American CinemaScope Technicolor Western film directed by Jesse Hibbs and starring Audie Murphy and future Academy Award winner Anne Bancroft. Filmed at Old Tucson Studios, it recounts the first successful introduction of limited self-government by John Clum (1851–1932), Indian agent for the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation in the Arizona Territory and is based on the 1936 biography Apache Agent by his son Henry Woodward (1878-1946).

Plot
The film begins in 1874, when John Clum arrives in Tucson, Arizona as the new Indian agent of the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. He meets with Arizona Territory Governor Safford and Army General Wade, both of whom mock the Department of the Interior's decision to change its policy toward the Apache, Wade calling them "savages". Arriving at San Carlos, Clum gives his papers to Wade's subordinate Captain Larsen and meets Larsen's subordinate Sergeant Sweeney. Clum orders Larsen to free Apache Chief Eskiminzin and his sub-chiefs, who are chained to posts. Clum gives Eskiminzin authority to dispense justice among his people as he sees fit, and orders Larsen and his troops, who have even less regard for the Apache than Safford and Wade do, to leave.

An Indian widow given to him as a housekeeper, Tianay, falls in love with Clum; he tells her that he is engaged, and his culture does not permit a man to have two "wives" at the same time. Two white men Clum encountered in Tucson showing off the scalps of Apache men and women they had taken are captured by Eskiminzin's son Taglito for poaching on the reservation. Clum demands the Sheriff charge the two men with attempted murder for wounding Taglito. Angered that no merchant will sell him beef or provisions, Clum goes to Safford and demands that Wade return the guns confiscated from the Apache. Safford overrules Wade's objections and tells Clum he will have the guns that afternoon. Back at San Carlos, newly-armed Disalin attacks Clum, trying to encourage the other warriors to "be men again". Disalin is shot and killed by Taglito. As Sweeney berates Clum for re-arming the men, Tianay, dressing Clum's wound, tells them Disalin was Taglito's brother. Eskiminzin asks Clum to partake in a blood oath, as Taglito killed Disalin out of love for Clum. Clum says he would be honored and participates in the rite.

Clum and Taglito later go into Tucson and find a drunken Sweeney clutching a pillar outside a saloon. In the saloon, Clum and Sweeney, who tells Clum he has been discharged and plans to return to his native Iowa, are confronted by the two white men Clum wanted arrested; the Sheriff let them go. Taglito drives Clum and Sweeney, who have been beaten up by the two white men, back to San Carlos. Clum persuades Sweeney to stay on and organize a police force composed of Eskiminzin's men.

Almost immediately after his fiancée Mary arrives in Tucson, she and Clum are married by the Justice of the Peace. Mary had envisioned a fancy wedding, but Clum's insistence of treating the Apache as fellow human beings has rubbed nearly everyone in town the wrong way; he tells her they are lucky they are able to get married at all. Conflict arises between Mary and Tianay as soon as Clum moves Mary in.

Geronimo comes to the reservation to recruit warriors. Eskiminzin flatly rejects his efforts yet tells his men they may join Geronimo if they wish; none do. Clum tells Geronimo that he and his people are welcome to live at San Carlos if they agree to certain rules, including being unarmed while on the premises. Geronimo agrees to discuss it with his people. Tianay marvels at Clum's bravery, telling Mary he is the first white man to have spoken to Geronimo and lived.

Tianay's son Tono idolizes Geronimo and persuades his friend Pica to leave with him. It is after sundown when Sweeney discovers the boys are gone. Tianay realizes Tono is looking for Geronimo's camp, and insists she join Clum to search for them. They find the boys the next morning safe, asleep after having been scared by a coyote. On the way back, they encounter Geronimo and his men attacking a group of settlers; they are chased away by the Army. Clum, Tianay, and the boys return in a wagon with wounded settlers. The attack prompts warrior Santos (who has been courting Tianay) and several other men to join Geronimo. Clum asks Santos to take him to Geronimo, an idea Sweeney finds insane. A fed-up Mary packs her bags to leave but is "talked" out of it by Tianay, who admits she wants her to go but also knows that it is Mary whom Clum loves.

On the trail, Clum, Sweeney, and their party stop to rest. Clum discovers Tono hiding in his wagon. He decides Tono, who still idolizes Geronimo, "needs to learn a lesson" and allows him to stay. Clum then devises a plan: by using the echos generated by the mountains whenever gunshots are fired, he hopes to convince Geronimo that he has more men than he actually does; he orders the men to hide in the mountains. Clum arrives at the camp with Tono beside him. After a heated exchange, Clum springs the plan. He returns with Geronimo and his men in shackles to find Wade has commandeered San Carlos. Clum quits, but is talked out of it by Eskiminzin, who says the people need him, and by Mary, who tells her husband that she has done some growing up in his absence. He tells Eskiminzin they are going to talk some sense into Wade after he washes up, then walks toward the house with Mary. The film ends with Tono holding a rifle above his head: "I am Mister [Clum]! I capture all my enemies!". The epilogue states Clum never stopped fighting for the welfare of "his Indians", and the government turned administration of San Carlos over to the Apache in 1955.

Cast

Production
The role of Mary Dennison, Clum's fiancée, was originally offered to Piper Laurie, but she turned it down so she could study at the Actors Studio in New York. Pat Crowley was cast instead.

The right to use the title "Walk the Proud Land" was obtained from Logan Forster, author of "Proud Land," a novel of the same genre.

Reception
The film was not a success at the box office, something attributed to the fact that Murphy played a pacifist rather than an action hero. This ended Murphy's plans to make his dream project, a biopic of painter Charles Marion Russell.

The Villa d'Este, originally Villa del Garovo, is a Renaissance patrician residence in Cernobbio on the shores of Lake Como in northern Italy. Both the villa and the  park which surrounds it have undergone significant changes since their sixteenth-century origins as a summer residence for the Cardinal of Como. Nevertheless, visiting the garden in 1903 for Century Magazine, Edith Wharton found this to be ‘the only old garden on Como which keeps more than a fragment of its original architecture’, and noted that ‘though Queen Caroline anglicised part of the grounds, the main lines of the Renaissance garden still exist’. Since 1873, the complex has been a luxury hotel.

History
Gerardo Landriani, Bishop of Como (1437–1445), founded a female convent here at the mouth of the Garovo torrent in 1442. A century later, Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio demolished the nunnery and commissioned Pellegrino Tibaldi to design a residence for his own use. The Villa del Garovo, together with its luxuriant gardens, was constructed during the years 1565–70 and during the cardinal’s lifetime it became a resort of politicians, intellectuals and ecclesiastics. On Gallio’s death, the villa passed to his family who, over the years, allowed it to sink into a state of some decay.

From 1749 to 1769, it was a Jesuit centre for spiritual exercises, after which it was acquired first by Count Mario Odescalchi and then in 1778 by a Count Marliani. In 1784, it passed to the Milanese Calderari family, who undertook a major restoration project and created a new park all’Italiana, with an impressive nymphaeum and a temple displaying a seventeenth-century statue of Hercules hurling Lichas into the sea. After the death of Marquis Calderari, his wife Vittoria Peluso, a former ballerina at La Scala and known as la Pelusina, married a Napoleonic general, Count Domenico Pino, and a mock fortress was erected in the park in his honour.

In 1815, it became the residence of Caroline of Brunswick, estranged wife of future King George IV. "Its garden seems almost suspended in the air", she wrote in her diary, "and forms a scene of complete enchantment." She gave it the name Nuova Villa d'Este and had the park landscaped in the English style.

It was converted into a deluxe hotel for the nobility and the high bourgeoisie in 1873, and kept the name Villa d'Este to take advantage of the apparent link with the famous Villa d'Este in Tivoli, near Rome. In 1925 Alfred Hitchcock turned his movie The Pleasure Garden on the premises of the hotel. A gala dinner held at the Villa d’Este in 1948 was the scene for the celebrated murder of the wealthy silk manufacturer Carlo Sacchi, shot dead by his lover Countess Pia Bellentani with her husband’s Fegyverzyar automatic pistol.

Present
Today, with room rates averaging €1000 ($1200) a night and top suites averaging €3500 ($4200) per night, the villa is a luxury hotel for wealthy people and a high-level congress center.

In June 2009, Forbes reckoned it the best hotel in the world, while in 2014 it was listed as the 2nd best resort in Europe by Travel + Leisure magazine.

Every May, the hotel holds a Concours d'Elegance for vintage and concept cars, the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, which was first presented in 1928. In September, it hosts the annual Ambrosetti Forum, an international workshop attended by prominent figures from the fields of politics, finance and business, which has taken place there since 1975.

Lewis Clayton (8 June 1838 – 25 June 1917) was an Anglican bishop, the second bishop suffragan of Leicester from 1903 until 1912.

Life

Lewis Clayton was educated at King's College School and Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He was ordained in 1861 and his first post was as a curate at Holy Trinity, Halstead.

From 1866 to 1875 he was Vicar of Dallington, Northamptonshire and from 1875 to 1888 was vicar of St Margaret's Church in Leicester.

From 1887 he was a residentiary canon at Peterborough Cathedral before his elevation to the episcopate.

St. Bridget's Church in Chelvey, Brockley, Somerset, England dates from the 12th century, and has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.

The church is dedicated to the Irish saint Brigid of Kildare.

The building includes a Norman south doorway and the octagonal font. There is also an inscribed Purbeck marble slab in the Tynte chapel under the Jacobean altar table. It dates from between 1250 and 1275, and shows the tall figure of an unknown 13th-century knight, clad in a long surcoat, grasping a spear in one hand and the scabbard of a sword in the other.

Near the pulpit is a replica sand-filled hour glass in an iron frame, previously used for preachers to time their sermons.

The churchyard cross is  high and sits on an octagonal base. At the top is a box and ball decoration which was added in 1877.

In the late 20th century the building had fallen into a state of disrepair with water seeping into the building, damaging the stonework. In 2008 an appeal was launched which raised money for the restoration, new lighting and a new organ.

The Battle of Mercredesburne was one of three battles fought as part of the conquest of what became the Kingdom of Sussex in southern England. The battles were fought between the Saxon leader Ælle's army and the local Britons.

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, states that Ælle arrived in Sussex with three ships and went on to fight at Cymenshore in 477 CE, Mercredesburne in 485, and Pevensey in 491. Ælle became the first king of the South Saxons. The Kingdom of Sussex was eventually annexed by the Kingdom of Wessex in the 9th century and went on to become the county of Sussex, England.

Background
The legendary foundation of the Kingdom of the South Saxons is provided by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, that states that in the year 477
Ælle arrived at a place called Cymenshore with his three sons Cymen, Wlenking, and Cissa. The chronicle describes how on landing Ælle slew the local defenders and drove the remainder into the Forest of Andred and then goes on to describe Ælle's battle with the British in 485 near the bank of Mercredesburne, and his siege of Pevensey in 491 after which the inhabitants were massacred.

The historian and archaeologist, Martin Welch suggests that the area between the Ouse and Cuckmere valleys in Sussex was ceded to the Anglo-Saxons by the British in a treaty settlement. Nennius, a 9th-century Welsh monk and chronicler, describes how the British leader Vortigern arranged to meet Hengest the Anglo-Saxon leader to work out a treaty. Vortigern and three hundred British leaders met with Hengest, supposedly to ratify the treaty, however Hengest's men slaughtered all of Vortigern's companions, after getting them drunk. Vortigern was then coerced into agreeing to a treaty that included the cession of Sussex to the Anglo-Saxons and the suggestion that Mercredesburne means "river of the frontier agreed by treaty" is seen as confirmation of this assertion.

Battle

According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle of 485, Ælle fought a battle with the British at Mercredesburne. Other versions of the battle have been derived from more elaborate descriptions, such as the one from Henry of Huntingdon, a 12th-century historian's version who suggests that when the army of Ælle and his sons engaged with the Britons neither side won and both sides pledged friendship although after the event the Anglo-Saxons sent a request to the German homelands for more troops.

The 14th century chronicler Roger of Wendover even names the leader of the British forces as Aurelius Ambrosius.

The problem for historians is that the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle was commissioned in the reign of Alfred the Great some four hundred years after the supposed events. There is some evidence that the Anglo-Saxons were using runes at this time. However their culture was largely of an oral tradition and they did not really start writing down legal and historical events until they were evangelised; this would have been the late 7th century for the South Saxons. The early Christian chroniclers would have taken most of their references for the early period from oral sources such as poetry.<ref name="jones58">Jones. The End of Roman Britain; p. 58.... they must ultimately have been derived from oral traditions, for the Anglo-Saxons were illiterate at the time of the invasions ...</ref> The medieval historians then produced embroidered versions of the chronicles to suit their own purposes.

Aftermath
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' does not provide any information on the death of Ælle or his succession, but Henry of Huntingdon suggests that Ælle died as the first king of Sussex in 515 and that he was succeeded by his son Cissa.

Location
The location of the battle is unknown.

The villages of Ashburnham and Penhurst in East Sussex maintain a tradition that a pre-Saxon earthwork known as Town Creep, situated in Creep Wood which adjoins the two villages, was the site of Mercredsburn.
 Oral tradition surviving to the end of the 19th century referred to the earthwork as being the site of a town which was besieged and destroyed by the Saxons. In 1896 members of The Sussex Archaeological Society investigated this claim, and subsequently published a paper concluding that the earthwork was a possible location for the battle of Mercredsburn, and that the modern name, Town Creep, could have an etymology derived from the latter part of 'Mercrede', whilst the 'burn' (or stream) may refer to The Ashburn stream running beneath the earthwork.

There is also a possibility that Mearcredesburnan stede was at modern Binstead based on the etymology mære cærses burnan steðe meaning 'the sea landing stage at the watercress stream'

Djuanda Kartawidjaja (EYD: Juanda Kartawijaya; 14 January 1911 – 7 November 1963), more commonly referred to mononymously as Djuanda, was an Indonesian politician and technocrat who held various positions during the presidency of Sukarno, most notably as prime minister of Indonesia and a cabinet minister in several cabinets.
