The Ministry of Defense (Minoboron; ) was a government ministry in the Soviet Union, which supervised the Soviet Armed Forces. The first Minister of Defense was Nikolai Bulganin, starting 1953. Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) was the "central organ" – official newspaper of the Ministry.

The Ministry of Defense was disbanded on 16 March 1992. An agreement to set up a joint Commonwealth of Independent States military command was signed on 20 March 1992, but the idea was discarded as Russia created its own defence ministry and the other former Soviet republics decided to establish up separate national armed forces.

The Ministry of Defence was renamed a number of times. From 1917 to 1934 it was the People's Commissariat for War and Naval Affairs, from 1934 to 1946 it was the People's Commissariat for Defence, and in 1946 the People's Commissariat for the Armed Forces. By February 1946 the army and Navy Ministries (:ru:Народный комиссариат Военно-морского флота СССР) were amalgamated into a Ministry of the Armed Forces (Tsouras 1994, 38). In 1950 the separate War and Navy Ministries were recreated, responsible to the Council of Ministers, "which had the Supreme Military Soviet as its highest organ," responsible for directing the Armed Forces. In 1953 the two were unified again as the Ministry of Defence.

Organization
The Ministry of Defence, an all-union ministry, was technically subordinate to the Council of Ministers, as well as to the Supreme Soviet and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In 1989 it was, however, larger than most other ministries and had special arrangements for party supervision of, and state participation in, its activities. The Ministry of Defence was made up of the General Staff, the Main Political Directorate of the Soviet Army and Soviet Navy, the Warsaw Pact, the five armed services, and the main and central directorates. The General Staff was created by Stalin in 1935, as the development of more complex military forces required leaders with greater training and specialization. It acted as the main organ of control for all Soviet military forces during World War II. The five armed services were the navy, the ground forces, the military air forces, the air defense forces and the rocket forces. Higher level subunits in the Ministry would have an associated military collegium, essentially a council responsible for dealing with various issues, all under the ultimate command of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. Both the Ministry of Defence and the General Staff were predominantly led by the Ground Forces.

The minister of defence was always either a leading Communist Party civilian official or a Ground Forces general; the position was presumably filled on the recommendation of the Defence Council with the approval of the Politburo, although the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet made the formal announcement. After Minister of Defence General Georgy Zhukov was removed from his position in the Politburo in 1957, the Minister of Defense would not be made a part of Politburo again until 1973. In the 1980s, the Minister of Defense would only maintain alternate membership in the Politburo. The three first deputy ministers of defense were the chief of the General Staff, the commander in chief of the Warsaw Pact, and another senior officer with unspecified duties. First deputy ministers of defense have also been selected from the Ground Forces. In 1989 the eleven deputy ministers of defense included the commanders in chief of the five armed services as well as the chiefs of Civil Defense, Rear Services, Construction and Troop Billeting, Armaments, the Main Personnel Directorate, and the Main Inspectorate.

Responsibilities

The Ministry of Defence directed the five armed services and all military activities on a daily basis. It was responsible for fielding, arming, and supplying the armed services, and in peacetime all territorial commands of the armed forces reported to it. The design, equipment and staffing of the military services, as well as the development of their individual doctrines was the responsibility of various deputies ministers, overseen by the General Staff. The Ministry of Defense has been staffed almost entirely by professional military personnel, and it has had a monopoly on military information because the Soviet Union has lacked independent defense research organizations frequently found in other countries. This monopoly has given high-ranking Soviet officers undisputed influence with party and government leaders on issues, ranging from arms control to weapons development to arms sales abroad, that affect the position and prestige of the armed forces. The Ministry of Defense was capable of calling on various Soviet academies and institutes for analysis and studies on military matters, as well as the each service's own academies capable of running field tests. Virtually all of this analysis, studies, and testing was classified secret, and non-military actors had no access to it.

The General Staff was responsible for overseeing war plans, training, mobilization and combat readiness of forces. During times of war, the General Staff would act as the executive arm of the Supreme High Command, exercising direct control over the five military forces. The top leadership of the Ministry of Defense (the Minister of Defence, the three first deputy ministers of defense, the eleven ministers of defence and the chief of the Main Political Directorate of the Soviet Army and Navy) formed the Main Military Council. At this time, the Main Military Council would become the headquarters of the Supreme High Command. The Main Military Council would also resolve conflicts between the five services and present the Defense Council with the budgetary requirements of the military determined by the General Staff.

'Pug' locomotives are small steam locomotives which were produced for light shunting work, usually at dockyards, factory sites, steelworks, collieries, and other similar locations. The name is derived from a common term in Scotland for a small industrial shunting engine, typically an 0-4-0 tank.

Whilst most commonly used for small shunting engines, on some railways the term 'Pug' was used for all tank engines.  For example, the very large Glasgow and South Western Railway 540 Class 4-6-4T express passenger locomotives were known to their enginemen as the 'Big Pugs'.

Etymology
‘Pug’ was a Scottish dialect word meaning ‘monkey’, and so inferring an ugly appearance. It is suggested that this led to the term being applied to the short and squat shunting engines.

An alternative suggestion is that the name is derived from the small sturdy Pug dog, an ancient and well known breed with a snub nose, wrinkled face, and squarish body. Most pug locomotives were saddle tanks, with an overall appearance that was flat-fronted, and squat or square.

Examples
Many locomotive manufacturers produced Pug type locomotives, mainly for shunting work in areas with tight curves (such as industrial sites, docks, and harbours) for which 0-6-0 locomotives were less well suited, despite their greater tractive effort capabilities.

England
The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway L&YR Class 21 is one example (of many) English light shunters that were nicknamed 'Pugs'.  The Great Eastern Railway GER Class 209 is an example of a pug class first produced by Neilson and Company in 1874, with production later continued by the GER itself at its own works.

Scotland

In Scotland, Neilson and Company designed and built a highly successful pug locomotive in the 1880s, subsequently licensing production to the largest Scottish railway companies. The Caledonian Railway bought four originals from Neilsons before constructing a further 34 at their own works, and designating them Caledonian Railway 0F class. The North British Railway bought two originals from Neilsons before constructing a further 36 at their own works, and designating them NBR G Class (commonly nicknamed 'Pugs' by North British staff). More than a hundred of this type of pug locomotive entered service across Scotland, and saw exceedingly long service, with the final examples being withdrawn as late as the 1960s.

Works number 1821 (maker's plate illustrated), an 0-4-0 pug steam locomotive ordered from Andrew Barclay Sons & Co. on 12 February 1924 by the Auchlochan Collieries, was delivered to the customer in 1925 and worked at Mauchline Colliery number 7 pit in Ayrshire as Mauchline No.1 locomotive from the opening of the colliery until at least 1939, before ending its days at Bank Colliery as No. 15 until August 1969 and was scrapped shortly after this colliery closed.

Worldwide
Pugs were used worldwide, such as the metre gauge Black Hawthorn, an 0-4-0ST locomotive that was imported into India in 1873 for an irrigation project and shunted at Ajmer for several years in the later part of its working life. It can now be seen on a plinth outside the Ajmer works.

In fiction
In The Railway Series books by the Reverend W. Awdry, a character called 'Pug' appears in the 12th book, The Eight Famous Engines. After problems of consistent accuracy of the drawings in the early books, later characters were based more closely on real locomotives. Although not explicitly identified by Awdry, the locomotive in the illustration by John T. Kenney, has been identified as most closely resembling a LMS Kitson 0-4-0ST.

Railway modelling

The Hornby model railway manufacturing company have produced a 0-4-0 Caledonian Railway Pug locomotive and Dapol Model railways have produced a LMS branded ex-Lancashire and Yorkshire Pug.  This model is now manufactured by Hornby.

The Field of Streams is a patch of sky where several stellar streams are visible and crisscross.

It was discovered by Vasily Belokurov and Daniel Zucker's team in 2006 by analyzing the Sloan Digital Sky Survey II (SDSS-II) data. The team named the area Field of Streams because of so many crisscrossing trails of stars.

The Sagittarius Stream of the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy (SagDEG) dominates the Field. It has a split trail within the area of the Field of Streams, because SagDEG has wrapped around the Milky Way Galaxy multiple times, which has resulted in overlapping trails. The forking of the trail has made it possible to infer the organization of dark matter in the inner halo of the Milky Way Galaxy, resulting in the determination that it is distributed in a round spherical manner, as opposed to the expected flattened spheroid. The shape of the streams also implies that the dark matter is very cold, due to the thin trails, and persisting existence.

Also appearing in the Field is the Monoceros Ring, which was discovered before the Field.

Career
Gallimore was born in East Vale, Longton, Staffordshire. He played local football before signing for Stoke in 1903. He became a useful forward for a struggling Stoke side, scoring 17 goals in 85 matches. With Stoke in financial difficulties in 1907–08, he and teammate Albert Sturgess joined Sheffield United in May 1908, but he failed to establish himself in his two seasons with the "Blades". He then signed for Second Division club Birmingham in 1910. He began the 1910–11 season in the starting eleven at outside left, but lost his place in December 1910 and rarely played again. He moved back to non-league football with Leek in 1911. Gallimore died in Stoke-on-Trent in 1949 aged about 63.

In Mesopotamia, a balag (or balaĝ) refers both to a Sumerian religious literary genre and also to a closely associated musical instrument. In Mesopotamian religion, Balag prayers were sung by a Gala priest as ritual acts were performed around the instrument. Sometimes the instrument itself was regarded as a minor deity, and every balag had a proper name. Despite the importance of the instrument in the rituals, its identity is disputed, but is generally thought to be either a drum or a string instrument such as a lyre. The purpose of the ritual involving this prayer and instrument was to soothe the local deity with pleasings sounds, while lamenting what may happen to the city should the god decide to abandon it. Balags were used from the Old Babylonian period to the Seleucid Empire.

Characteristics
As a literary genre, the balag was written in the cuneiform script and sung by the Gala priest in a dialect of Sumerian called Emesal ( eme-sal). Each balag is composed for a particular god.

The precursor to the balag was the City Lament, a type of prayer that was recited when temples were destroyed and rebuilt. The balag instrument was known to accompany the city lament. Over time, as city laments became associated with scribal schools, the balag was adapted for many different ritual uses. As the city lament became more distant from ritual activity, the balag emerged as a distinct literary genre.

Despite its importance in the rituals, the balag instrument's exact nature is debated. Some scholars regard it as a drum, others a stringed instrument such as a lyre. Others have claimed it is both of these at once, and another theory suggests the word balag started out referring to a lyre, but over the period of several millennia, it came to mean a drum. There were earlier suggestions that it was a bell.

Every balag had a proper name. For example, the names of two balags commissioned by Gudea included ‘Great Dragon of the Land' and 'Lady as Exalted as Heaven'.

The word was loaned into Syriac as p(ə)laggā (), referring to a type of drum.

The Australian Landing Craft 50 or ALC 50 was a class of Landing Craft Utility operated by the Australian Army in the 1960s.

History
The two ALC 50s were built by Phoenix Shipyards in Devonport, Tasmania and were completed in 1962 and collected for sea trials and transfer to Sydney early that year. The operating unit that accepted and ran them both was 4 Water Transport Troop, Clifton Gardens, Middle Head, Sydney. The commander and trial officer for both the trial-cum-voyage back to Sydney of the first vessel to be launched in early 1962 was Lieut. Don McDowell.

The voyage was not without difficulty and sailing through the aftermath of a gale caused conditions that saw th bow door start to "peel" externally, some engine troubles that caused a close-down on one side, one rudder pintle breaking, and the helm-wheel shake to pieces leaving only its steel skeleton. Eventually the vessel had to get towed to Sydney by the accompanying LSM, and attaching the towing bridle in heavy seas resulted in an accident that injured two of the six crew. This unhappy voyage ended with the vessel coming into Sydney Harbour with distress flags/balls hoisted, having to steer in a slow circle to port then a short burst of full astern, in an attempt to get it to dock alongside Clifton Gardens base. That the vessel was largely orange with rust by this time (and no longer bronze deep green) also did little to impress the official greeting party as news of the vessels mishaps had not been passed because of radio failure during the voyage. Despite such an eventful maiden voyage, that vessel was fixed in 4 Water Transport's own workshops and all faults repaired, leaving it to go into honourable service as shown below.

During their service with the Army they were named AB 3000 and AB 3001 and operated along the NSW and QLD coastline on army exercises. The ALC 50s were replaced by the   in the early 1970s.

Nader Al-Khateeb () (born July 30, 1960) is the General Director of the Water and Environmental Development Organization (WEDO), a non-profit Palestinian organization that promotes a number of environmental programs and projects centered on water quality control, water conservation, wastewater treatment and reuse, as well as solid waste management and recycling. He was also the Palestinian Director of EcoPeace Middle East (formerly Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME)). EcoPeace Middle East is a unique regional organization that brings together Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli environmentalists to promote sustainable development and advance peace efforts in the Middle East. It has offices in Amman, Bethlehem and Tel Aviv, employs 40 paid staff and actively involves hundreds of volunteers.

In 1983, Nader Al-Khateeb graduated from the Middle East Technical University in Turkey with a B.Sc. in Geological Engineering. He went on to acquire an M.Sc. degree in Environmental Management from the Loughborough University of Technology in the U.K. in 1989. He has since had over 20 years of experience in water management and sanitation.

Mr. Al-Khateeb served as Chief Engineer for the Bethlehem, Beit Jala and Beit Sahour Water Authority from 1984 to 1993, where he was responsible for planning and fundraising, as well as operations and maintenance of the distribution network. After returning from leave to acquire his M.Sc. degree, he also became the Project Manager for their drainage and sewerage project.

From 1994 to 1997, Mr. Al-Khateeb was a senior water resource engineer with the UNDP's Water Resources Action Program, working as a consultant in the effort to formulate and establish the Palestinian Water Authority (PWA). He then became associated with the PWA itself, coordinating a host of water and wastewater projects.

In 1998, he resigned from this role to work with the newly established Water and Environmental Development Organization (WEDO). During this time he also served as a consultant to various international development organizations working in the water sector. He carried out feasibility studies for the industrial waste management sector in Hebron under USAID, worked with UNESCO to prepare a conceptual Emergency Master Plan for the Bethlehem Region and trained municipal engineers in the Gaza Strip on wastewater collection and treatment systems along with the German group Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft (CDG). In 2001, WEDO became the base for the Palestinian branch of Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME) and Mr. Al-Khateeb has since served as its Director.

He holds a host of professional memberships with such organizations as the Jordan Engineers Association, Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information, Palestinian Technical and Advisory Committees on Water for the multilateral negotiations, and the Consultative Training Board established by the German group Carl Duisberg Gesellschaft (CDG) for training Palestinian professionals in the water sector.

Mr. Al-Khateeb is a registered Professional Engineer in the West Bank and a registered Professional Engineer in Amman, Jordan, in the Division of Mining Engineering, Section of Geological Engineering.

Awards
EcoPeace Middle East's three co-directors—Nader Al-Khateeb (Palestine), Gidon Bromberg (Israel) and Munqeth Mehyar (Jordan) -- were honored by TIME Magazine as Heroes of the Environment (2008) and the organization was granted the prestigious Skoll Award in 2009. EcoPeace Middle East also received a 2008 SEED Finalist Award.

Sweet Billy Pilgrim are an English genre spanning band, composed of bassist/banjo player Anthony Bishop, guitarist and singer Jana Carpenter, guitarist and singer Tim Elsenburg, and drummer/percussionist Alistair Hamer. Often described as rock, folk rock, folktronica, Americana, alternative, art rock, electronica, pop or prog, they describe their sound as "thrash pastel".

Biography
The original three members met while at school. Elsenburg and Bishop are from Wingrave and Hamer from Wendover, both near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. American born Carpenter joined the band in 2010.

Sweet Billy Pilgrim formed in 2003 after their previous band, Cordisto, came to an end. The band are named after the main character in Kurt Vonnegut's book Slaughterhouse 5.

After repeated rejections from both major and independent record labels, Elsenburg bought a Power Book, they installed Logic, and the band began to record themselves.  Due to financial restraints, the early Sweet Billy Pilgrim recordings up until 2012's Crown and Treaty were (apart from the acoustic drums) produced in a garden shed using a laptop and one quite good microphone.  The band feel this has had a positive influence on their sound.

Their first release "Experience", was distributed amongst fans and was followed up by the Stars Spill Out of Cups EP.  Released on their own label (Luxor Purchase) and featuring hand-stamped artwork, it contains three songs: "Stars Spill Out of Cups", "God in the Details", and "Atlantis".  The band also gave away a recording called "Forget to Breathe" as an mp3.

We Just Did What Happened and No One Came was released in 2005 and awarded four stars by Mojo magazine, and The Sunday Times called it "a rather special debut", making the track "Stars Spill Out of Cups" one of their songs of the year.

Twice Born Men was released in 2009 and was awarded five stars by Italian magazine Rockstar and made CD of the Week by The Sunday Times; later that year it made The Sunday Times top 100 albums of 2009 list. The album was also awarded four stars by Mojo and Uncut, and was made a Mercury Prize album of the year for 2009.

Crown and Treaty was released on 30 April 2012.  Critical response was positive, with all major UK national papers awarding the record four or five stars out of five. It was awarded five stars and Instant Classic by Mojo and four stars by Q magazine.  The majority of the recording for this album took place at Elsenburg's cottage, with the exception of the acoustic drums which were recorded at Earth Terminal studios and the choir which was recorded at Grove Studios. Crown and Treaty was self-released on their own label (Luxor Purchase) much like the early recordings, but distributed through EMI label services.

Besides their work as Sweet Billy Pilgrim, Bishop, Hamer, and Elsenburg have worked together as session musicians, having toured as members of Martin Grech's band during the Open Heart Zoo era, and playing on the Toyah Willcox album Velvet Lined Shell. Carpenter writes for, sings, and performs with folk band Piefinger.

Bishop currently plays electric bass in The Boy Least Likely To's touring band, and his playing is featured on both of the band's albums. Hamer toured with The Boy Least Likely To until 2008, and his drumming is featured on the James Dean Bradfield album The Great Western. Elsenburg has recorded and performed with Steve Jansen, recorded with Adem Ilhan, remixed for David Sylvian and Steve Adey, and written with Toyah Willcox.

Due to the complexity and layering of sounds used on the recordings, recreating the songs live requires the members to play many different instruments on stage. Bishop plays electric bass, banjo, and vocals.  Carpenter plays acoustic guitar, cymbals, samples, keyboards and vocals.  Elsenburg plays guitar, keyboards, harmonica, and vocals.  Hamer plays drums (usually a Yamaha Rock Tour Custom), samples, and vocals.  They are typically joined live by musician Dan Garland playing piano, keyboards, samples, vocals, and square waves, Barney Muller on electric guitar and backing vocals; and sometimes by Adam Chetwood (I Am Arrows) playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar and banjo.

On 9 July 2010, Sweet Billy Pilgrim appeared as themselves in series four, episode three ("Something Happened") of The IT Crowd. The band performed with fictional keyboardist Norman, who Jen dated until he was kicked out of the band. On 13 July 2010, their song "Future Perfect Tense" was made available as a download for the game Rock Band 2. In August 2010, they recruited Jana Carpenter and started recording their third studio album.

In April 2013, in collaboration with Mojo magazine the band gave away a free download of Crown and Treaty with the full artwork in exchange for signing up to their mailing list.

In March 2014, they began recording their fourth studio album. In March 2015, it was announced that the band had signed to Kscope, and that they would be releasing the new album – Motorcade Amnesiacs – on 25 May 2015. The first single from the album, "Coloma Blues", was premiered at the same time as the album announcement. The band also launched a release campaign for Motorcade Amnesiacs on direct-to-fan platform PledgeMusic.

In April 2015, the band revealed the video for their new single "Just Above Midtown".

Palaeographically it has been assigned to the 11th century. The manuscript has survived in a fragmentary condition. The text is a mixture of several different textual traditions. The manuscript was prepared for church reading. It has full marginalia.

Description

The codex contains the text of the four Gospels on 80 parchment leaves () with large lacunae. The leaves of the codex are arranged into quarto (four leaves in quire). The text is written in one column per page, in 24 lines per page, in very small and beautiful letters.

The nomina sacra are written in an abbreviated way (θς for θεος, κς for κυριος, ις for ιησους, χς for χριστος, ανος for ανθρωπος, ιηλ for ισραηλ, σηρ for σωτηρ, ουνιος for ουρανιος, πνα for πνευμα, πηρ for πατηρ, μηρ for μητηρ, υς for υιος, ιω for ιωαννης, δαδ for δαυιδ), but not often. There are also other abbreviations used in the manuscript. The words at the end of the line sometimes are abbreviated. The error of itacism occurs, αι and ε, ε and η, η and υ, ει and ι, ι and η, ι and οι, ο and ω are confused frequently.

The text is divided according to the  (chapters), whose numbers are given at the margin, with their  (titles) at the top of the pages. There is also another division according to the smaller Ammonian Sections, whose numbers are written at the margin with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers).

The tables of the  (tables of contents) are placed before each Gospel, lectionary markings are inserted at the margin (for the Church reading), and  (lessons).

The Greek text of the codex is mixed with many errors in very minute letters.

 Contents
Matthew 1:1-21; 6:12-32; 22:25-28:20; Mark 1:1-5:29; 9:21-18:12; Luke 7:27–John 9:21; 20:15-21:25.

Text

The Greek text of the codex is a mixture of the text-types. According to G. G. Pappelbaum some of its textual variants are found in other manuscripts from the East, and some variants are typical for the Western manuscripts. It has also some rare readings, which are not supported by any textual family. Kurt Aland the Greek text of the codex did not place in any Category.
It was not examined according to the Claremont Profile Method.

In Matthew 1:6 it reads Σολομωντα for Σολομωνα, as Minuscule 84.

It lacks the whole verse Matthew 23:14, as Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, Bezae, Regius, Dublinensis, Koridethi, f1, 33, 892.

In Matthew 23:25 it reads ακρασιας for αδικιας.

In Matthew 26:31 it has singular reading τα δωδεκα for τα προβατα.

In Matthew 26:52 it reads αποθανουνται for απολουνται.

In Matthew 27:34 it reads οινον for οξος, as B, D, K, L, 1, 33, 69, 73, Sinaiticus, Koridethi.

In Matthew 27:49 the whole verse was omitted by scribe (probably as error of homoioteleuton).

In Mark 1:9 it reads Ναζαρεθ for Ναζαρετ.

In Mark 1:16 it reads αμφιβαλλοντας for βαλλοντας.

In Mark 5:26 it reads παρα for υπο.

History

F. H. A. Scrivener dated the manuscript to the 11th or 12th century, C. R. Gregory to the 11th century. It is dated by the Institute for New Testament Textual Research to the 11th century.

The manuscript was brought from the East to Berlin by Wilhelm Ernst von Knobelsdorff in 1803, along with many other manuscripts (Persian and Arabic). In 1820 it was presented for the Prussian State Library. G. G. Pappelbaum described and collated its text in 1824. The manuscript was added to the list of New Testament manuscripts by Scholz (1794–1852),
who listed it under the number 239. C. R. Gregory saw it in 1887. Hermann von Soden designated it by siglum ε 181.

At the end of 1943 year has increased the frequency of the bombing of Berlin. The Prussian State Library sent many collections out of Berlin to be sheltered in Silesia for safekeeping. As the result of postwar border changes some of these collections were found in Poland (among minuscule 433). They were moved to the Jagiellonian University Library.

The manuscript used to be held in Berlin (MS Quart 12). It is now housed at the Biblioteka Jagiellońska (Fonds der Berliner Hss. Graec. qu. 12) in Kraków.

Gaustad Hospital () is a psychiatric hospital in the neighborhood of Gaustad in Oslo, Norway. Founded in 1855, it is Norway's oldest purpose-built psychiatric hospital. It opened as the nation's first insane asylum designed according to the guidelines in the Insane Act of 1848 (Sinnssykeloven). The facility was planned by Herman Wedel Major, based on the model of foreign institutions, and the building complex was designed by architect Heinrich Ernst Schirmer.

During the occupation of Norway in 1940–1945, the hospital's workers, knowing German soldiers would send their patients to concentration camps, devised a plan to save them. For months, they collected urine in buckets. When the day came that the soldiers knocked on the door, they threw the urine on every radiator and heater, creating a tremendous stink. The soldiers left and didn't return, and the patients' lives were saved.

Arnold Juklerød, then a father and construction worker, was forcibly admitted to the Gaustad Hospital in 1971. He was lobotomized and, at times, denied contact with the outside world. (He alleged psychiatric abuse.) The level of care he received from Gaustad's leading psychiatrists became the focus of widespread media attention.

The hospital was owned by the State until it was taken over by the City of Oslo in 1985. Since 1996, Gaustad Hospital been part of Aker University Hospital; and since January 2009, Aker University Hospital has been part of Oslo University Hospital, a subsidiary of the Southern and Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority.

Pseudotelphusa scalella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found from most of Europe to the southern Ural and the Volga region. It is also found in Turkey.

The wingspan is 11–15 mm. The moths are on wing from May to June depending on the location.

The larvae feed on moss, lichen and oak trees.

A distinctive 'pied' appearance makes this Gelechiid one of the less difficult to identify. It is distributed in central and southern England, and occurs in continental Europe.

The larval stages are yet to be fully described in this country although on the continent it is believed to be associated with oak (Quercus) as well as mosses on tree-trunks.

The moths fly in May and June and are attracted to light.

John Leighton Davies (24 August 1927  – April 1995) was a Welsh rugby union, and professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1940s and 1950s. He played representative level rugby union (RU) for Glamorgan County RFC, and at club level for Neath RFC, and club level rugby league (RL) for Wakefield Trinity (Heritage № 571), as a , i.e. number 3 or 4.

Background
John Leighton Davies was born in Skewen (his birth was registered in Swansea), Wales.

After retirement, he became a patron of Wakefield RFC, and was an active supporter of the club until his death.

He was also heavily responsible for Wakefield RFC’s 'Salute to Rugby'
book a compilation of "favourite recipes from famous people" including Prince Charles and the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, which was published in 1980 in support of Wakefield Rugby Football Club.

An acknowledgment in the book reads “J Leighton Davies, for his superhuman efforts in compiling all the recipes”.

He was the father in law of former Wakefield RFC captain Martin Shuttleworth, and grandfather of Otley's Iain Shuttleworth.

He died aged 67–68 in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England.

Playing career
John Leighton Davies made his début for Wakefield Trinity during October 1948, he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored. In addition, prior to the 1949–50 season, the archaic field-goal was also still a valid means of scoring points.

Contemporaneous Article Extract
"Born in Skewen, South Wales, gained international schoolboy honours at Neath Technical. Played for Neath R.U., and had represented Glamorgan County on six occasions to reach the verge of international honours before turning to R.L. in October 1948. Looked set for an illustrious professional career when a succession of knee injuries forced his premature retirement in 1952."

Genealogical information
John Leighton Davies' marriage to Dorothy E. (née Banham) was registered during second ¼ 1950 in Wakefield district.

Musical Opinion, often abbreviated to MO, is a European classical music journal edited and produced in the UK. It is currently among the oldest such journals to be still publishing in the UK, having been continuously in publication since 1877.

In its first year Musical Opinion critically reviewed Brahms' new Second Symphony, and in 1879 his Violin Concerto. The October 1936 issue carried an interview with Rachmaninov and championed the young William Walton as Britain's most exciting young composer.

In 1927, when the editor and proprietor was Arthur W. Fitzsimmons (d. 1948), the composer Havergal Brian became assistant editor of Musical Opinion. He held the post until 1940. This period could be said to have been its heyday: it was then a leading journal in its field, with each issue comprising over 100 large-format pages and a wide range of subject-matter (including much contemporary music) being covered by some of the most prominent British writers on music of the time. Regular contributors included Gerald Abraham, Eric Blom, Dmitri Calvocoressi, Eaglefield Hull, Alfred Kalmus, Basil Maine and Percy Scholes.

In 1921 Musical Opinion launched a sister magazine, The Organ.

Between 1984 and 2009, Musical Opinion was edited by Denby Richards. As of April 2009 its editor is Robert Matthew-Walker (who is editor of the Organ in addition).

From the time of its first issue (September 1877), Musical Opinion appeared monthly; but in the 1990s increasing production and postal costs threatened the magazine's survival. In 1994 Musical Opinion became a quarterly publication—with regular subscribers being kept up to date with information and reviews in the intervening months by means of 'Supplements' posted to them. In 2000 these supplements were reduced from two per quarter to one.

In 2003, however, Musical Opinion abandoned the idea of posted 'Supplements' and once more became a straightforward 'newsstand' publication appearing quarterly.
