Heroic Act of Charity

The Heroic Act of Charity is when a member of the Roman Catholic church offers to God all the satisfactory value of prayers and good works performed during their lifetime plus all the suffrages which may accrue to him after his death for the remission of the souls in purgatory. The "satisfactory value" of a good work is its value with regard to making up for one's sins and reducing a person's stay in Purgatory. The term "Purgatory" does not indicate a Place, but a Condition of Existence.

Scripture
Offering prayers for the dead is found in 2 Maccabees 12:43-46:He then took up a collection among all his soldiers, amounting to two thousand silver drachmas, which he sent to Jerusalem to provide for an expiatory sacrifice. In doing this he acted in a very excellent and noble way, inasmuch as he had the resurrection of the dead in view; for if he were not expecting the fallen to rise again, it would have been useless and foolish to pray for them in death. But if he did this with a view to the splendid reward that awaits those who had gone to rest in godliness, it was a holy and pious thought. Thus he made atonement for the dead that they might be freed from this sin. Praying for the dead is among the Spiritual works of mercy.

Background

The souls in purgatory can do nothing for themselves. They can no longer merit or give satisfaction or receive the sacraments or gain indulgences. Charity to the suffering souls involves the mystery of the communion of saints:

A decree of the Sacred Congregation of Indulgences dated 18 December, 1885, and confirmed by Leo XIII, says that "The Heroic Act of Charity in favour of the souls detained in purgatory consists in this, that a member of the Church militant (Christifidelis), either using a set formula or simply by an act of his will, offers to God for the souls in purgatory all the satisfactory works which he will perform during his lifetime, and also all the suffrages which may accrue to him after his death." It is a pious custom for those particularly devoted to Mary, to make it a practice to deposit the said suffrages as it were into the hands of the Blessed Virgin that she may distribute these favours to the souls in purgatory according to her own merciful pleasure.  It should not be made lightly, but only after serious reflection.

This can be done either using a set formula or by a simple act of will. It suffices to have the intention and to make it from the heart. As it is in the nature of an offering rather than a vow, it is revocable.

By this act one voluntarily resigns everything that might in any way be acceptable to God as atonement for the punishment incurred by one's own sins. By doing this, one forgoes the lessening of his own time in Purgatory, hence the title Heroic Act. A somewhat frightening thought, one who makes the Heroic Act effectively offers to spend time in Purgatory on behalf of others, as he renounces all opportunities to remit temporal punishment for himself, although there remains the reasonable hope that God in His goodness, and the sainted souls in their gratitude, will not allow the punishment to be exacted to the full. The application of prayers for the souls in  Purgatory is subject to the disposition of the will of God. By making this act with purity of intention, one is relying upon the mercy of God. A person who has made the Heroic Act may still pray for himself, friends and other intentions.

This practice was encouraged by a number of Popes including  Benedict XIII (1728), Pius VI (1788) and Pius IX (1852).

Patriotic Guards (Romania)

The Patriotic Guards () were Romanian paramilitary formations formed during the Communist era, designed to provide additional defence in case of a foreign attack.

History

The Patriotic Guards were formed in 1968, after the 21 August Bucharest speech through which Romanian Communist Party General Secretary and State Council President Nicolae Ceaușescu condemned the crushing of the Prague Spring by Soviet forces. Ceaușescu appealed to anti-Soviet sentiments within the general population to ask for resistance against the perceived threat of a similar Soviet invasion against Romania itself. The nationalist themes he used had their immediate effect in rallying large portions of the public, who began organizing and arming themselves under the direction of the Romanian Communist Party (PCR).

Although the threat was over by the end of the year, the Patriotic Guards remained a feature of the republic's communist structure. They became a permanent addition to the regular military, and compulsory training was introduced for young men and women. For university students, this meant that hours of the curriculum were reserved for shooting drills and other training courses; soon, they were doubled by additional requirements for work in the fields (that was also asked from high school and middle school students, as well as their teachers).

No longer backed by enthusiasm as they had been in the early 1970s, the Patriotic Guards nonetheless were the basic line of defence against projected invasions. The threat posed by the latter seemed to increase as the regime plunged into isolation, especially after it lost the support of the Western Bloc in the early 1980s. From that point on, the Patriotic Guards were to become part of the State's apparatus of repression against its own people.

During the Romanian Revolution of December 1989, Ceaușescu attempted to use them against protesters, notably in Timișoara. However, the pace of events and the breadth of hostility to his regime outstripped this plan. As the Revolution progressed, many Patriotic Guard members (who like most other Romanians were fed up with Ceauşescu's failed economic policies and suffering from declining living standards) actually joined the protesters. To no small extent, the people who were meant to be armed in case of the disturbances were in fact the ones causing them.

Function
The Patriotic Guards was an all-inclusive public security organization, its functions included normal civil policing and fire-fighting, and a very large "People's Militia" force. During wartime it would provide rear area security, augment the ground forces, and operate as guerrillas if their areas were overrun by invaders.

Place in the official ideology

In the 1980s, Romanian communism took on a militarized form. Ilie Ceaușescu, general in the Romanian People's Army and brother of Nicolae, summarized the new traits in his Istoria militară a poporului român ("The Military History of the Romanian People"). The work (soon turned into official dogma) argued that the Romanians had always had the largest standing army in the world—notably, he consistently chose to add up the entire population as present under arms. This constituted a message for the future, since the regime had established a strong connection with all past forms. As such, the ideology behind the formation of the Patriotic Guards was rendered as the War of the Entire People military doctrine, inspired by the Yugoslav Total People's Defense doctrine.

Organization

The Patriotic Guards were staffed by about 700,000 citizens in 1989, both men and women. In keeping with the doctrine of "War of the Entire People", the Patriotic Guards were a combined territorial defence or national guard and civil defence organization, which was established immediately after the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia. The Patriotic Guards worked closely with the Ministry of National Defence but were directly subordinated to the PCR and its youth organization. Relying more on ordinary citizens than on the professional military, the Patriotic Guards served as a potential counterweight to or check on the power and influence of the regular armed forces.

In 1989 the Patriotic Guards were organized into company- and platoon-sized units in almost every județ, municipality, town, village, and industrial or agricultural enterprise. Under the command of the first secretary of the local PCR apparatus, they conducted basic and refresher training in small-arms handling, demolition, mortar and grenade-launcher firing, and small-unit tactics. In wartime they had responsibility for local antiaircraft defence, providing early warning of air attack, defending population centers and important elements of national infrastructure, and conducting civil engineering work as needed to reestablish essential military production after an attack. They would reconnoiter and attack enemy flanks and rear areas, combat airborne units and special forces penetrating deep into Romania, and mount resistance operations against occupying forces. In keeping with their guerrilla image, the Patriotic Guards wore plain uniforms with no insignia or badges of rank.


Baron Braose

The title of Baron Braose was created twice in the Peerage of England. Some records from the period of the second creation spell the name Brewose.

William de Braose is recorded to have sat in the Parliament of April and May 1290, so is deemed to have been summoned as a lord of Parliament. On 29 December 1299, his son William de Braose was summoned to Parliament. On his death in 1326, the first creation of the barony fell into abeyance.

On 25 February 1342, Thomas de Braose was summoned to Parliament. On the death of the fifth baroness in 1399, the second creation of the barony became extinct.

International Wittgenstein Symposium

The International Wittgenstein Symposium is an international conference dedicated to the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and its relationship to philosophy and science. It is sponsored by the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society.

History

In 1976, the International Wittgenstein Symposium was founded by Elisabeth Leinfellner, Werner Leinfellner, Rudolf Haller, Paul Weingartner, and Adolf Hübner in Kirchberg am Wechsel, Lower Austria. The location was chosen because in the 1920s, Ludwig Wittgenstein taught at elementary schools in the area surrounding Kirchberg am Wechsel. On the 24th to the 25th of April, 1976 (just prior to the 25th anniversary of Wittgenstein's death), the first conference took place. Only four of the five founders gave talks on his philosophical work at the first meeting, but at the second, 120 speakers attended from around the world.

Philosophical topics

The general topic of each symposium centers around the philosophy and philosophy of science of Wittgenstein, but the specific topics change from year to year.  For example, the topic of the second International Wittgenstein Symposium was "Wittgenstein and his impact on contemporary thought" and the topic of the third symposium was "Wittgenstein, the Vienna Circle, and critical rationalism (including a seminar on Popper's open society)." A survey of topics is available from the site of the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society.

Proceedings

Starting with the second symposium, the papers accepted for presentation have been published in edited proceedings.  From 1978 to 2005 the proceedings of the International Wittgenstein Symposium were published by Hölder-Pichler-Tempsky and are now published by ontos verlag. The proceedings published at ontos verlag are available Open Access online at a site prepared by the Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen. The Wittgenstein Archives have also prepared a site that contains an Open Access selection of symposium papers from the period 2001-10.

Sponsorship

The symposia are sponsored by the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society and they are largely funded by the government of Lower Austria and the Austrian Federal Ministry for Science and Research.

Keith Ludeman

Keith Lawrence Ludeman (born 28 January 1950), is a British businessman, former CEO of the Go-Ahead Group and now a Non-Executive Director.

Early life
Ludeman was born in Bromley, Kent, and educated at Bromley Technical High School for Boys (three years below David Bowie - the school is now called the Ravens Wood School) on Oakley Road in Keston, and then undertook a BA in Geography at Newcastle University. After graduating in 1971 he joined Tynemouth and District Transport as a conductor (badge number AA 52142), for a summer job, but stayed for 15 months before undertaking an MSc in Transport Engineering and Planning at the University of Salford, with a thesis entitled: Problems And Planning of Community Railway Stations.

Career
Ludeman then joined the local transport authority in Greater Manchester in the planning department, before switching to line management in Lancashire where he gained his bus driver's licence (badge number N 12281). After eight years he and his wife moved to Hong Kong where he worked as senior transport officer, before becoming a consultant in the private sector and then returning to the United Kingdom selling software for scheduling bus crews.

In 1986, Ludeman became managing director of the council-owned Burnley & Pendle, but after turning a £1million loss to a £1million profit he returned to London to join London Regional Transport. Under Margaret Thatcher's government's privatisation initiative, Ludeman became part of the management team at what became London General, one of 11 bus companies split from London Transport. After six years, Ludeman led a management buyout of London General for £28million.

When the financial backers of London General wanted to sell, Ludeman as a result joined Newcastle-based Go-Ahead in 1996. He was appointed Managing Director of the group's London bus division in 1997, and then moved over to head the rail division in 1999, renaming the South Central franchise (previously run by Connex) back to the pre-grouping name of Southern. Ludeman had been a main board advisor since 1998, and became a director in September 2004. He was appointed as Chief Executive in July 2006 following the resignation on health grounds of Chris Moyes.  Keith Ludeman retired from Go-Ahead Group on 1 July 2011.

Ludeman was presented with an honorary doctorate by University of Salford in July 2010.

Ludeman is a fellow of the Institute of Logistics and Transport and of the Institution of Railway Operators. He was Chairman of the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) until 2005.

Ludeman was Non-Executive Director of Network Rail (July 2011 - July 2014).
Ludeman is a Non-Executive Director of Interserve plc (joined January 2011). He was appointed Non-Executive Chairman of Eversholt Rail in June 2014. Ludeman is Chairman of Bristol Water (joined July 2012).

Personal life
Married to Diane, the couple have two daughters. The family home in Shere, Surrey together with a holiday home in Cannes, were bought from the share sale proceeds of Go-Ahead's purchase of London General Omnibus. He enjoys swimming, sailing and scuba diving.

Lift coefficient

The lift coefficient (CL) is a dimensionless coefficient that relates the lift generated by a lifting body to the fluid density around the body, the fluid velocity and an associated reference area. A lifting body is a foil or a complete foil-bearing body such as a fixed-wing aircraft. CL is a function of the angle of the body to the flow, its Reynolds number and its Mach number. The section lift coefficient cl refers to the dynamic lift characteristics of a two-dimensional foil section, with the reference area replaced by the foil chord.

Definitions
The lift coefficient CL is defined by

 ,
where
 is the lift force,  is the relevant surface area and  is the fluid dynamic pressure, in turn linked to the fluid density , and to the flow speed . The choice of the reference surface should be specified since it is arbitrary. For example, for cylindric profiles (the 3D extrusion of an airfoil in the spanwise direction) it is always oriented in the spanwise direction, but while in aerodynamics and thin airfoil theory the second axis generating the surface is commonly the chordwise direction:

resulting in a coefficient:

while for thick airfoils and in marine dynamics, the second axis is sometimes taken in the thickness direction:

resulting in a different coefficient:

The ratio between these two coefficients is the thickness ratio:

The lift coefficient can be approximated using the lifting-line theory, numerically calculated  or measured in a wind tunnel test of a complete aircraft configuration.

Section lift coefficient

Lift coefficient may also be used as a characteristic of a particular shape (or cross-section) of an airfoil.  In this application it is called the section lift coefficient . It is common to show, for a particular airfoil section, the relationship between section lift coefficient and angle of attack. It is also useful to show the relationship between section lift coefficient and drag coefficient.

The section lift coefficient is based on two-dimensional flow over a wing of infinite span and non-varying cross-section so the lift is independent of spanwise effects and is defined in terms of , the lift force per unit span of the wing.  The definition becomes

where L is the reference length that should always be specified: in aerodynamics and airfoil theory usually the airfoil chord  is chosen, while in marine dynamics and for struts usually the thickness  is chosen. Note this is directly analogous to the drag coefficient since the chord can be interpreted as the "area per unit span".

For a given angle of attack, cl can be calculated approximately using the thin airfoil theory, calculated numerically or determined from wind tunnel tests on a finite-length test piece, with end-plates designed to ameliorate the three-dimensional effects. Plots of cl versus angle of attack  show the same general shape for all airfoils, but the particular numbers will vary. They show an almost linear increase in lift coefficient with increasing angle of attack with a gradient known as the lift slope.  For a thin airfoil of any shape the lift slope is π2/90 ≃ 0.11 per degree. At higher angles a maximum point is reached, after which the lift coefficient reduces. The angle at which maximum lift coefficient occurs is the stall angle of the airfoil, which is approximately 10 to 15 degrees on a typical airfoil.

Symmetric airfoils necessarily have plots of cl versus angle of attack symmetric about the cl axis, but for any airfoil with positive camber, i.e. asymmetrical, convex from above, there is still a small but positive lift coefficient with angles of attack less than zero. That is, the angle at which cl = 0 is negative. On such airfoils at zero angle of attack the pressures on the upper surface are lower than on the lower surface.

Carne Cruda

Carne Cruda is a Post-Latin band based in Oakland, California. The band consists of 5 core members and incorporates frequent guest appearances, and also frequently backs up other artists.

Band History
Camilo Landau and Charlie Gurke met while attending high school at San Francisco School of the Arts, where they formed a band called The Ska Messengers. In the year 2000, while attending college at UCSC, guitarist and tres player Camilo Landau decided to form a band to experiment with blending Latin music and Caribbean music with other musical genres. While playing in the UCSC Jazz ensembles under the direction of Ray Brown and Smith Dobson, he met drummer E. Dillon Westbrook and asked him if he wanted to start a group. They teamed up with conga player Jeremy Fisher and began experimenting and practicing. They added Charlie Gurke to the group and began playing around local venues in Santa Cruz, California.

In 2001 Landau and Gurke went to [Cuba] for three months to study music. There they wrote arrangements for what they envisioned as a new direction for the band. When they returned they added Luke Kirley on trombone and Matthew Val Hall on trumpet to the band and began playing again. They were featured in Metro Santa Cruz's column "New Band Alert" where they were described as "the Latin Squirrel Nut Zippers."

In 2004 the band moved to [Oakland, California] where they re-formed, adding bassist Ayla Davila who had recently graduated from the prestigious [Berklee College of Music] and drummer David M. Flores.  With this new configuration they recorded their first full-length album "Spicy Sea Adventures" in 2005. The album was picked up by Belgium's Surf-Cumbia Rockerds label and the band began their first European tour, playing concerts in Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and Poland. They subsequently went on three more European tours and added Denmark, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, and Macedonia.

In 2009 Carne Cruda began a new collaboration with Brazilian singer and dancer Dandara Backen. They formed a new group called De Bahia a Bahia, which means "from one bay to another" since Dandara is from Bahia, Brazil and Carne Cruda is from the Bay Area.

In 2010 Carne Cruda won Oakland Magazine's "Best Oakland Theme Song" award in an article titled "Oakland's Tight, Hella Tight!"

In 2010 Carne Cruda release a new album on Round Whirled Records called "Oakland's Tight" produced by veteran record producer Greg Landau and recorded, mixed, and mastered by engineer John Greenham.

In 2016 the band released the song I Love You More Than Tacos.   The song is about "a man's love so profound that he would give his tacos and burritos to someone else".  Univision reported that the song "has become something of an anthem in the wake of the #TacoTruckOnEveryCorner controversy."

James Scobie (horseman)

James Scobie (18 July 1860 – 6 October 1940) was an Australian jockey and racehorse trainer.

History
Scobie was born in Ararat, Victoria, or perhaps nearby Moyston, a son of stonemason William Scobie and his wife Marion Scobie, née McVicar. He was educated at Ararat, and at the age of 12 began working with horses.
After a few months working for a surveyor, he fell in with Ralph Parkinson, just out of Ararat, working a chestnut gelding Alma (previously named Postboy) that won a lot of races for his owner.

He next worked for George Read,  of Strathmore, whose father kept the Ace of Clubs Hotel, and who trained Lord Harry, Whalebone, Black Harry and Sefton for Adam Smith of Naracoorte, South Australia. Read was a fine rider over fences, and it was through emulating his style that Scobie became such an expert cross-country horseman.
He began working for Frank Womersley, a blacksmith of Dunkeld as horseboy and jockey, and assisted in training a horse  named The Alps, which he rode to victory in the Ararat Maiden.
He next joined Thomas Ferguson, at Hamilton and rode many winners for him over several years.
After leaving him he rode three years for George Rex (c. 1845–1930), and won numerous country races on Dan Rice, Too Late, Curator, All Serene, Ivanhoe among others. While with Rex he rode Devlin in Belfast.
In 1880 he joined Robert "Ballarat Bob" Howie (c. 1842–1910), for whom he won the Australian Cup Hurdle Race on Zephyr, the Maiden Steeplechase, the Melbourne Cup Hurdle on Lothair, Melbourne Cup Steeple on Kanaka, and other big races on Battle Abbey and Collingwood, besides scoring all over the country on Wait-a-While, Battle Abbey, and a host of others.

After three years with Howie, during which time his focus changed from riding to training, and he purchased the business, training horses for such wealthy owners as Andrew Chirnside, Norman Wilson, W. Bailey, R. Orr, Frank Cumming, H. L. Cumming, Martin Loughlin, E. E. D. Clarke, Sir Rupert Clarke, R. G. Casey, M. Gordon, J. V. Smith, J. N. McArthur, S. P. Mackay (of Western Australia) and Cato.
He built new stables, and trained such celebrities as Annesley, Blue Mountain, Collingwood, Corythus, Dreamland, Euchre, Insolvent, Irralee, Ringwood, Ruby, St. Louis, Titan, and many others, winning four Grand Nationals, Australian Cup, Caulfield Guineas, Hobart Cup, the Maribyrnong Plate, Ballarat Cup three times, and many other races ; while Titan, who had been written off by others as a failure, won him the Toorak Handicap, Railway Stakes, All-aged Stakes, and Farewell Handicap at Flemington, and the Cumberland Stakes in Sydney. Scobie considered Ringwood the best horse he ever rode or trained, despite the successes he had with Blue Mountain, Bolton, Kanaka, Lothair, Ruby, and Zephyr.

During his remarkable career he won £250,000 in stakes, and the victories of horses under his care included four Melbourne Cups. His most important success in later years was the Australia Day Cup at Williamstown with Lusson, who was trained by him for longtime patron E. E. D. Clarke (1869–1941), son of Sir William John Clarke. Notable among his jockeys were Robert "Bobbie" Lewis (1878–1947) and Michael Carey (c. 1864–1908).

He had a long friendship with rival jumps jockey Tom Corrigan, which turned icy after an incident at Flemington in a steeplechase at the V.R.C. Autumn meeting of 1888 when Corrigan's horse Kangaroo inadvertently "squeezed" Scobie's Ruby. Corrigan was disqualified on protest and Scobie awarded the race.

He had stables at Miner's Rest, owned by E. E. D. Clarke at Dowling Forest, near Ballarat from around 1880 to 1911, though floods in 1909 forced a relocation to Caulfield, and Pytchley Lodge at Ascot Vale,  opposite the Ascot racecourse, from 1911.

Notable horses that passed through his hands include: Alawa, Angelia, Annesley, Annotate, Benbow, Blue Mountain, Bolan, Brookong, Celia, Charles Stuart, Chit-Chat, Cyden, Cyklon, Demas, Deneb, Dreamland, Eleanor, Emir, Epilogue, Eye Glass, F.J.A., Fossil, Glue, Green Cap, Hautvilliers, Hua, Jack Smith, Kallara, Keera, Kildalton, La Carabine, Lothair, Maltster, Maroon, Midilli, Miltiades, Mint Sauce, Moe, Mother Goose, Orvieto, Paravane, Paul Pry, Pillie-winkle, Ranfurly, Recall, Ringwood, Rosanna, Rosina, Ruby, Seabound, Shanks, Shotbolt, Sinnang, Spica, Stageland, Stand By, Star d'Or, Sweet Nell, Sylvanite, Titan, The Bride, Thrice, Trey, Trillion, Uncle Matt, Thrice, United States, Wolowa, Widgiewa, Wycherley, Bitalli, Clean Sweep, King Ingoda and Trivalve; these last four being Melbourne Cup winners.

He set a record, which still stands, for the greatest number of Victoria Derby wins: in 1900, 1901, 1903, 1904, 1908, 1912, 1927, and 1937, "Bobbie" Lewis being the jockey in each year except 1903. Lewis rode four Melbourne Cup winners: The Victory (1902), Patrobas (1915), Artilleryman (1919) and Trivalve (1927), only the last being trained by Scobie. Lewis was later the object of suspicion when he rode the previously unbeaten Phar Lap to third place in the 1929 Melbourne Cup.

Scobie died at a private hospital in Melbourne, and his remains were cremated at Spring Vale; his ashes were interred in the grave of his wife in the Ballarat cemetery.

Family
Scobie married Joan Shaw Paterson ( – ) on 2 February 1888. Their family included:
Austin James Scobie (c. 1887 – 22 November 1939) married Beryl McLeay Smith on 21 August 1917. He was a trainer in conjunction with his father, and had a separate house on the Pytchley Lodge property.

Norman Claude Scobie (9 January 1893 – 1986) married Marguerite Frances "Pearl" Doyle (1891–1945) before 1915. They divorced; he married again, to Gladys Germaine Smith ( – ) in November 1930. He was a trainer in Melbourne and in 1930 for Sir Charles Hyde in England.
They had a home at 140 Ascotvale Road, Flemington

His brother George Scobie, sen., ( – )  was a cross-country rider and trainer and father of George Scobie, a jockey who notably won the 1909 Grand National Hurdle Race on Fossil, and later also a trainer, and W. Scobie, who had some success as a jockey in New Zealand.

Recognition
The great jockey universally known as Scobie Breasley was born Arthur Edward Breasley, and gained his nickname as a reference to James Scobie.

Noted trainer Dick Bradfield placed him among the ten best jockeys he had seen.

Scobie Place, Holt, Canberra, was named for him.

Dwingelderveld National Park

Dwingelderveld National Park is a national park of the Netherlands in the province of Drenthe, founded in 1991. The park covers about  and is mainly managed by the State Forest Service (Staatsbosbeheer) and the most important Dutch private nature management organisation Natuurmonumenten. It is the largest wet heathland of Western-Europe.  Dwingelderveld is also designated as a Natura 2000-area.

Archeology and history
Dwingelderveld was used by early inhabitants for religious purposes and agriculture. Celtic fields and burial mounds are still clearly recognizable in the field. Later the area was used as a transport route from Germany to the Netherlands, some of the old trails can still be found in the National Park. Nevertheless, the area has never been used intensively by humans. In the 1930s, there were reclamation plans, but nature conservation organisations purchased a part of the area to save it. Other parts have been in use for forestry.

Landscape
The most characteristic features of the park are the large heath lands. The structure of the terrain is quite varied with relatively high sandy hills and wet lower parts, including many fens. Some of these fens are pingo-ruins from the last glacial.

In former days the heath was in use as a part of the agricultural system. At present it is not the case anymore so new ways have to be found to keep the heath in its present condition and to prevent the growth of trees. Sheep are still in use - there is  a sheepfold in the park, but also cows are used to graze, and special machines are developed to manage the heath. In the park, one of largest Dutch juniper thickets can be found.

Vegetation and wildlife
In the park four 'heath species' are rather common: Calluna vulgaris, Erica tetralix Empetrum nigrum and Andromeda polifolia. There are also Rosera intermedia, Eriophorum vaginatum, Gentiana pneumonanthe and several orchid species.
In the Dwingelderveld area, three snake species occur and several rare butterflies.

Recreation
In the national park is a visitor centre. In addition, there are many camp sites, hotels and restaurants. There is also an astronomy centre, the Planetron, accessible to tourists.


Allan Cameron and William Withers

Allan Cameron (1805–?) and William Withers (1802–1886) were the co-founders of Penetangore (Kincardine), Ontario.

Allan Cameron
Allan Cameron was born November 16, 1805, in Cornwall, Ontario, to Scotsman Alexander Cameron and Sarah Parks. Allan was nicknamed 'black prince' due to his dark complexion.

William Withers

William Withers was born September 21, 1802, in Portsmouth, England, to Ebenezer Withers and Sarah Warriker. On December 31, 1827, William Withers married Sophia Cameron, sister of Allan Cameron. On December 30, 1886, William Withers died near Portland, Oregon, USA.

Founding a Town
The Brothers-in-law spent the winter of 1847/1848 in Oxford County gathering the equipment they knew necessary for a settlement in the wilderness of the Queen's Bush. Captain A. Murray MacGregor and others who plied the lake in all seasons, taking heavy catches from the fishing island to the Detroit and Buffalo markets knew that midway between Goderich and the mouth of the Saugeen River (Port Elgin), where Natives had lond traded, the waters of a stream of fair size merged with Lake Huron. This agreed with Withers and Cameron and offered promise of an ideal site for a settlement since it would provide water power, was not too far from Ashfield, Wawanosh and the northern fringe settlement in Huron and in the direct path of the anticipated northward course settlers who would flock in as soon as the land was offered.

Shortly after the breaking of the ice on the lake, Withers and Cameron headed into the Queen's Bush in the spring of 1848 [The exact date is said to have been March 5, 1848. ]. William Withers and his brother in law, Allan Cameron landed by ship ("The Fly", owned and sailed by Captain A. Murray MacGregor)on the shores of Lake Huron at the mouth of the Pentangore River. Close to the spot where they landed they built a log house, in which Allan Cameron kept hotel, William Withers built a dam and a sawmill. Cameron and Withers named this settlement Penetangore, in reference to the river. In the next couple of years more settlers saw the potential in the land that Withers and Cameron saw. By the winter of 1848/1849 seven families inhabited the settlement of Penetangore.


Landing of the first Filipinos

On 18 October 1587, the first Filipinos landed in what is now the Continental United States at Morro Bay. They arrived aboard the Nuestra Señora de Buena Esperanza, which had sailed from Macao, as part of the Manila galleon trade. During about three days of travels ashore around Morro Bay, the crew of the Nuestra Señora de Buena Esperanza came in contact with the Chumash people, ultimately resulting in the deaths of two crew members: one Spaniard and one Filipino.

Departing Morro Bay after the deaths of the crew members, the Nuestra Señora de Buena Esperanza eventually reached its intended destination of Acapulco. No other Filipino landed in California until 1595. In 1995, a monument on Morro Bay was dedicated to commemorate the events of 1587. Beginning in 2009, October was recognized as Filipino American History Month in recognition of these events.

Background
Thousands of years before their first contact with Europeans, the Chumash people established the region around the Channel Islands and areas from San Luis Obispo to Malibu as their territories. At the beginning of the 16th century, European explorers began to explore the Pacific. The Spanish traveled westward with Vasco Núñez de Balboa, first seeing the Pacific Ocean from Panama; then the Pacific was crossed by Ferdinand Magellan, who reached the Philippines. The Chumash's first contact with Europeans occurred on 10 October 1542, when Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo's expedition sailed into the area. Their next contact with Europeans would be 45 years later.

Beginning in the mid-16th century, Spain conducted its campaign to conquer the Philippines, led by Miguel López de Legazpi. This concluded with Spanish forces repelling Chinese ambitions to control Manila. As a consequence of the conquest of the Philippines, in 1565 the Manila galleon trade began, sailing from Acapulcoinitially to Cebu, and after 1571 to Manila. These ships were crewed largely by Filipinos, or "Indios Luzones" as they were known at the time. The Filipinos who sailed experienced arduous conditions, poor rations, disease, and the lowest pay among the crew.

From 1582 until his death in 1586, Francisco Gali plied the Manila galleon route, initially as a navigator. On a return voyage to Mexico in 1584, Gali navigated the ship he was in to a high latitude, which brought the ship along the North American coast, which Gali had thought was astride the Strait of Anián. In 1585, a mission from Archbishop Pedro Moya de Contreras to survey the Californian coast, and to avoid China, was given to the westward-bound captain of the Manila galleon, who at that time was Gali.

Gali died in Manila later that year, leaving the mission to one Pedro de Unamuno. Unamuno, who had sailed with Gali from Acapulco, had been paid by merchants there to acquire goods in China. Upon reaching Macao, Portuguese authorities seized his two galleons, leaving him and his crew trapped in China. Hearing of this, the Real Audiencia of Manila sought the arrest of Unamuno for disobeying the instructions to avoid China. Fortunately for Unamuno, who could have received the death penalty for his insubordination, Franciscans who wanted to return to Mexico provided funds to purchase a ship, a fragata, which was christened the Nuestra Señora de Buena Esperanza. One of those Franciscans was Martín Ignacio de Loyola; another person who came aboard for the eastward journey was a Japanese boy.

Leaving the Far East in mid-July 1587, the Nuestra Señora de Buena Esperanza sailed eastward across the Pacific Ocean for a largely uneventful trip. In early September, the ship was damaged when the "masts were sprung", or cracked. More than a month later, the ship spotted land through a fog, and fires were seen onshore. Initial reconnaissance led to the discovery of Morro Bay, which had resources that could replenish the ship's provisions; there were also trees which could be utilized for masts. When people were observed on a hill looking at their ship, it was decided that a landing party should go ashore and claim the bay.

Landing
On 18 October, the feast day of San Lucas, the initial landing parties came ashore. One party consisted of Unamuno and a dozen soldiers. Another party of "Luzon Indians" and a priest; the priest was Father Martín Ignacio de Loyola, nephew of Ignatius of Loyola. Two of the Filipinos went ahead of the parties, scouting for the locals observed from the ship. Initial attempts to make contact with local people were unsuccessful. When a group of nine Native Americans was observed; they ran off before the landing party could attempt to communicate with them. After taking possession of the land by placing a cross atop a hill as a sign of their claim, the landing party returned to the ship.

After a second landing the next day for exploration and the gathering of supplies for the ship, the landing party spent the night ashore. The next morning, part of the landing party was approached by 23 Native Americans, who ended up taking clothing and canteens from the landing party. Not long after, an attempt to capture Loyola was stopped when a gun was fired. Afterwards, the landing party began to return to their ship and was attacked, resulting in the deaths of one Spaniard and one Filipino, both due to javelin wounds, and several others being injured. Reinforced by a complement from the ship, the group repelled the attack. The next day, the 21 October, the galleon departed, continuing its journey to Acapulco.

Aftermath

After departing Morro Bay, the Nuestra Señora de Buena Esperanza sailed southward. It was a few days behind the Santa Ana, which had sailed eastward at a lower latitude and ultimately fell victim to Thomas Cavendish's privateering, a fate which the Nuestra Señora de Buena Esperanza avoided. Attempts to sail southward along the coastline were made difficult due to poor weather, including fog. More than a month after departing Morro Bay, the Nuestra Señora de Buena Esperanza arrived at Acapulco. Inland expeditions were prohibited by the Spanish authorities following the hostility encountered at Morro Bay. After its initial voyage across the Pacific, the Nuestra Señora de Buena Esperanza continued to be utilized in the Manila galleon trade, but was lost off the coast of Negros Island in 1647.

The next documented landing of Filipinos in California was in November 1595, when the Manila galleon San Agustin was wrecked at Point Reyes, the first European ship to be wrecked on the California coast. Unlike the interaction of the crew of the Nuestra Señora de Buena Esperanza with the local people, the encounter of the San Agustín with the Coast Miwok did not result in any deaths. Following the wrecking of the San Agustin, which resulted in several deaths, the crew departed in a salvaged launch and reached Acapulco.

As late as the Portolà expedition in 1769–1770, the Chumash maintained a large population. However, by the 1910 United States Census, fewer than one hundred remained. One reason for the reduction of their population was the introduction of Old World diseases. including pleuropneumonia and smallpox.

The discovery of "Puerto San Lucas" by the crew of the galleon was recorded in the log of the voyage. However, the discovery faded into obscurity, until 1929 when the log was translated into English, and published by the California Historical Society. Before then it was believed that Unamuno had sailed into Monterey Bay; another early 20th century source pointed towards Cape Mendocino or San Francisco Bay. More recently, the precise location of where the landing occurred has been disputed, citing inaccurate navigation tools and presumptions in past writings of the event.

The 1587 event marks the first documentated instance of Asians in what is now California, or anywhere in what is now the United States, North America, the Americas. The landing of the first Filipinos at Morro Bay, which occurred 33 years before the events at Plymouth Rock, is often overlooked, even by Filipino Americans. For instance, the Filipinos who landed in 1587 have been described as "invading troops", and more focus is placed on Filipino immigration to the United States during, and after, the American period.

Although the landing was an important milestone, it would not be until the latter half of the 18th century that Filipinos began to settle in what would become part of the continental United States. Beginning in 1992, the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) began efforts to commemorate the landing. On 21 October 1995, with the mayor of Morro Bay in attendance, a monument was placed at Morro Bay to commemorate the events of 1587. The monument was placed in Coleman Park. By 2009, after follow-up efforts by FANHS, Filipino American History Month was recognized by California, as well as nationally by resolutions in state and national legislatures; it occurs every October, in recognition of the landing at Morro Bay.


Terrapin (song)

"Terrapin" is the opening song on Syd Barrett's first solo album The Madcap Laughs. Its arrangement is sparse, like much of the album, and features only acoustic and electric guitar accompaniment to the vocals. This song, along with "Maisie" and "Bob Dylan Blues"; reflected Barrett's early interest in the blues. Iggy the Eskimo, one of Barrett's acquaintances, had called the song "quite catchy".

The song reappeared on the Harvest Records compilation Picnic – A Breath of Fresh Air and is The Madcap Laughs''' sole representative on The Peel Session.

The Syd Barrett Appreciation Society titled its official magazine Terrapin (published 1972–1976), in tribute to the song.

Recording
Preparing Madcap, in April 1969, Barrett played demo tapes of songs to producer Malcolm Jones, at the latter's request. After the playbacks, Barrett performed, on guitar, several tracks for Jones, one being "Terrapin". The album version was recorded in just one take on 11 April. The lead guitar was overdubbed on 26 April.

Personnel
Syd Barrett – vocals, acoustic and electric guitars
Malcolm Jones – producer

Covers
The song has been covered by The Smashing Pumpkins, Marc and the Mambas, The King Khan and BBQ Show, Phish, and David Gilmour, who featured the song on the DVD David Gilmour in Concert''.

Gilmour performed the song at 1996's "A Day for Tibet" and 2001's Meltdown events. "Many of his songs are just too personal…" Gilmour observed. "Or too incomprehensible in some ways. With some of them it's hard to feel confident about inhabiting the song. I'm pretty sure I know where 'Terrapin' is coming from. It's that underwater vibe. Although it is slightly off-the-wall lyrically."


1909–10 British Home Championship

The 1909–10 British Home Championship was an annual football competition played between the British Home Nations during the second half of the 1909/10 season. It was won by Scotland after a very close three-way competition between the Scots, England and Ireland which Scotland only won by a single point, Ireland and England coming joint second with Wales trailing, again by a single point.

England and Ireland were well matched throughout the contest, drawing in their opening match, a result which gave Scotland the advantage after they narrowly beat Wales in Kilmarnock during their opening game. Their challenge faltered in the second game as Ireland beat them by the same scoreline in Belfast. England too achieved a 1–0 win, over Wales in Cardiff. This put England and Ireland at the head of the table, but they were soon surpassed by the Scots, who defeated England 2–0 in Glasgow. Ireland's bid for the trophy was forestalled by Wales in the final match of the competition, who won 4–1 to score their only points of the competition in a powerful performance.

Oxford and Cambridge college stamps

From 1871 to 1886 certain Oxford and Cambridge colleges issued their own stamps to be sold to members of the college so that they could pre-pay the cost of a college messenger delivering their mail.

The practice was stopped in 1886 by the British Post Office as it was decided that it was in contravention of the Post Office monopoly.

Issuers
The colleges which issued the stamps were:

Oxford
Keble 1871#
Merton 1876#
Hertford 1879#
Lincoln 1877
Exeter 1882#
St John's 1884
All Souls 1884
Balliol 1885 (Printed but never issued)

Cambridge
Selwyn 1882
Queens' 1883
St John's 1884

Postal stationery
Postal stationery was also used by some of the colleges listed above (post cards, envelopes) which were impressed with a pre-paid stamp. This is denoted by # above and in some cases postal stationery was in use for several years before stamps came into use, for instance at Hertford College.


Glasgow University Student Television

Glasgow University Student Television (more commonly known as GUST) is the student television station at the University of Glasgow and the oldest student-run television station in the world, founded in 1964. GUST is affiliated with the National Student Television Association (NaSTA) and broadcasts a wide range of programmes, including creative and factual as well as annual Freshers’ Week coverage. It is one of the four mediums of student media at the University of Glasgow, along with the Glasgow Guardian, Glasgow University Magazine and Subcity Radio.

History

Founding
During interviews with current staff of the Media Production Unit at Glasgow University, it was revealed that the University's Television Service began operating in 1963. However, it is believed that Glasgow University Student Television (GUST) was founded in 1964. It is unclear when the name GUST was actually created, but it began being commonly used in the 1970s.

This means that GUST was the first student television station to be founded in the United Kingdom, and also the oldest student television station in Europe. There is a station in the United States that was founded before GUST, but this station was staff run for students. Thus, GUST is the oldest student-run television station in the world.

Between 1966-68, Glasgow University built a television studio in the basement of Southpark House in order to support teaching facilities. It was hoped that this new facility would be used for a student operated TV service made by students. This marked the beginning of GUST as a broadcasting station. To this day, GUST hold their weekly studios in these facilities to create videos.

1960s-1990s
GUST would originally broadcast a weekly live programme on a Friday lunchtime, cleverly titled “Lunchtime Friday,” which would run for about an hour and would be shown at 12:10pm and repeated at 1:10pm every Friday during term time. This content would be broadcast on the University's cable network so GUST programmes would reach every building on campus, and also many others outside the university. That then means GUST was broadcasting on the biggest cable network in Europe at the time.

GUST was a founding member of the National Student Television Association (NaSTA), helping establish the first awards ceremony in 1973. Notable past GUSTies include Steven Moffat and Andrew Neil, both of whom were members of the station during their time at the University of Glasgow.

Present day
GUST is shown on television screens around campus but also broadcasts their programming on their own website, gust.tv, which it has done since 2005. Alongside ongoing coverage of student life and goings-on in Glasgow as a whole, they cover Freshers' Week every year, including events organised by the Students' Representative Council, Glasgow University Union, Glasgow University Sports Association and Queen Margaret Union. Notably, GUST produces a Freshers' Guide each year that is streamed at the Freshers' Address given on the Monday of Freshers' Week.

In 2014, the university's production studio at Southpark House was upgraded to a full HD studio. GUST produces a variety of programmes, ranging from interviews with musicians and documentaries on cosplay and mental health, as well as much more. Some recent GUST series include Miscellanea, Surround Sound Live, Creative Conflict and Experimental Shorts.

Structure
GUST is managed by an executive team named the Top 4, composed of the Controller (the head of the station), Head of Creative Programming, Head of Factual Programming and Head of Technical. Unlike most British student television stations, the station chose to keep the name "Controller" as opposed to "Station Manager" to reflect the historical name for that position at the BBC. Producers, coordinators and convenors fall under the supervision of one of the members of the Top 4. There are four Creative producerships (Arts, Comedy/Drama, Music and Lifestyle), four Factual producerships (Clubs/Societies, News, Science and Sports), three technical positions (Assistant Technical Coordinator, Webmaster and Animation Producer) and three organisational positions (Social Convenor, Broadcast/Publicity Coordinator and Fundraising Convenor). Whilst producers focus on the creation of content, the various coordinators and convenors assist with the general functioning of the station.

Awards
Along with the many NaSTA awards that GUST has been able to obtain over the years, there are also many other awards that GUST have been fortunate enough to receive.

In 1977 and 1978, GUST won Best Float in the Charity's float competition. Their prize was a barrel of beer and GUST came out and apologised if this prize affected their video quality in any way.

In 1995, GUST were awarded the 'The Stanley's: The Next Big Thing' in the Student category by the Royal Television Society. In 1998, two of GUST's videos were selected to be screened at the University of Glasgow International Student Film and Video Festival. These programmes were the Best of G-Spot and Best of GUST.

In 2016, GUST won Most Dedicated Member: Sarah Battensby (GUST) in Volunteering, Clubs and Societies Awards at the University of Glasgow.

At the most recent edition of the NaSTA awards (2019, Nottingham), GUST won Best Documentary & Factual. In 2018 (Sheffield) they received three Highly Commended awards for Best Writing, Best On-Screen Talent and Best Freshers' Coverage, and in 2017 (Birmingham) they won Best Male and Best Ident as well as received two Highly Commended awards for Best Open and Best Station Marketing.


The Actors' & Entertainers' Benevolent Fund of Queensland (Inc) is a registered charity assisting actors, performers, and entertainers in times of dire circumstance. It is commonly known as the Actors' Benevolent Fund, ABF QLD, and The Fund. The Fund is run by an elected committee of industry professionals, with Paul Dellit OAM as the current president.

History
The Fund was started by Alan Edwards AM MBE in 1975. Charities of this kind have been operating across the world for over a century, including the Actors' Benevolent Fund of NSW and the Victorian Actors' Benevolent Fund.

The Actors' Benevolent Fund of NSW, of which Don Crosby  was the serving President, provided a donation of $500 to seed the charity.

Alan Edwards AM MBE, a prominent figure in local performing arts who was the first artistic director of the established Queensland Theatre Company in 1970, was the inaugural president of the charity. Edwards served in that role until 1994.

Lifetime Achievement Award
The Fund presents an industry award to recognise excellence and lifetime achievement in the arts in Queensland. It is named in honour of the founding president Alan Edwards. The first award was recognised in 2002.

Pleasing poison frog

The pleasing poison frog (Ameerega bassleri) is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae endemic to Peru.

Distribution and habitat
The species is found in lowland and montane tropical moist forests, in both pristine and slightly degraded habitat, in the Amazon drainage of Peru at elevations of 270–1,200 m.

Conservation
Although it can be extremely common in places, the pleasing poison frog is currently classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN due to ongoing habitat loss, mostly caused by coffee plantations.


John Alexander Tyler

John Alexander "Alex" Tyler (April 7, 1848 – September 1, 1883) was the second son of President John Tyler and his second wife, Julia Gardiner Tyler. He was born at the Tyler estate, Sherwood Forest Plantation, near Charles City, Virginia.

During the Civil War
After the death of his father, at age 14 he ran away from home to enlist in the Confederate States Army, but was rejected as too young. His mother, Julia Gardiner Tyler, eventually allowed him to join the Confederate States Navy because it had a lesser casualty rate than the Confederate Army. However, Tyler spent most of his time on a ship quarantined due to yellow fever and left naval service in 1864. After attending college for three months, he left and joined the First Virginia Battalion of Artillery under General Robert E. Lee, just prior to Lee's surrender at Appomattox, which effectively ended the war.

In Europe
In 1865, he and his brother, David Gardiner Tyler, traveled to Germany to attend college, where he studied in Carlsruhe, Baden and Freiberg, Saxony to become a mining engineer. Still in Germany in 1870 at the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, Tyler enlisted in the Prussian Army and joined the First Uhlan regiment under the command of King John of Saxony. He served with distinction in the occupation of France in 1871.

Later years
In 1873, Tyler returned to the United States and attempted to find work as a mining engineer near Salt Lake City, but was unable to find a position, probably due to the Depression of 1873–79. Although he did find a job with a railroad, the salary did not allow him to meet his debts, and he had financial problems until he married a wealthier third cousin, Sarah Griswold Gardiner, on August 5, 1875. President Rutherford B. Hayes later appointed him as a surveyor for the United States Department of the Interior. In 1883, at 35 years old, Tyler died of a fever while working as a mining engineer in New Mexico.

Toxomerus

Toxomerus is a very large genus of hoverflies. They are found in many parts of North and South America.
Most larvae are predators on soft bodied insects, though a few species have been shown to feed on pollen.  Adults feed on the pollen of a wide range of flowers.

Morphology
The majority of species are 6–9 mm in length. However, the largest, Toxomerus insignis, found throughout the Northeastern part of North America, is 13 mm long.
A common trait of species within the genus is their mimicry of stinging Hymenoptera to avoid predators. What distinguishes Toxomerus from other hoverflies is the posterior indentation of their eyes and unique abdominal patterns; the abdominal patterns are diagnostic at the species level within the genus. Eyes are large (taking up approximately 2/3 of head) and range from red to black in color. Males and females can be distinguished by the dorsal spacing of their eyes, with males having a narrow gap and females having more space showing their ocelli.

Classification and distribution
Both molecular and morphological analysis have been used to establish Toxomerus monophyly. Not all of Toxomerus species have been described, though over 130 Neotropical species and 6 endemic Nearctic species are known. Some species have been discovered in the Old World in the afrotropics and are assumed to have been introduced due their high genetic similarity to South American species. Toxomerus species are the most abundant hoverflies (or syrphid flies) in the Americas. Toxomerus marginatus is the most ubiquitous species in the North and is polyvoltine, brooding multiple times per year. Toxomerus dispar is the most common in the tropics, though T. pulchellus is more common in some areas.

Biology and ecology
Although they are high fidelity hymenopteran mimics they do not engage in behavioral mimicking such as leg waving, wing wagging, and mock-stinging. They also have significantly less hair than bees. As in all flies, Toxomerus species have 4 life stages: egg, larva, pupa, adult. The lifespan of the average adult is about a month and can vary depending on the season with shorter spans in the summer and longer in the winter. Mating can occur midair or on the ground depending on species. A female can lay up to hundreds of eggs at a time and will place them where prey or pollen food sources are readily available. They can be found in a wide variety of habitats. Adults can be encountered in dense ground cover including grasses and leaves. Some can do well in urban environments and can be responsible for some pollination in gardens.

Toxomerus larvae are known to typically feed on aphids. Predatory Toxomerus larvae have also been found to feed on other Hemiptera, Acari, and Thysanoptera, along with Lepidoptera larvae. Though Toxomerus larvae are generally predatory, there are three known exceptions: Toxomerus apegiensis, Toxomerus politus, and Toxomerus floralis.T. politus larvae feed on the pollen of Zea mays (corn), and T. apegiensis larvae feed on the pollen of Olyra obliquifolia (bamboo). T. floralis, the larvae of which feed on pollen from Cyperus rotundus (Java grass) and Mitracarpus hirtus (tropical girdleweed), is the only species whose larvae are known  to feed on plants from different families. Generally, little information is known about the larval biology of Toxomerus species. Research suggests that other phytophagous Toxomerus species may be found by searching plants related to rainforest Olyra species.

After the larval stage, Toxomerus  species typically become pollinivorous as adults. Their diets as adults had made some species responsible for pollination in a variety of plant families, including Poaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Ericaceae, Cyperaceae , and Orobanchaceae. Adults and larvae will forage for pollen during the early daylight hours while their activity drops off at around late afternoon.

Sir Gerrard Napier, 1st Baronet

Sir Gerrard Napier, 1st Baronet or Napper(19 October 1606 – 14 May 1673), of Middle Marsh and Moor Crichel in Dorset, was an English Member of Parliament (MP) who supported the Royalists during the English Civil War.

Napier was born in 1606 and baptised on 19 October at Steeple, Dorset.  He was the eldest son of Sir Nathaniel Napier, also an MP, and the grandson of Sir Robert Napier, a judge who had been Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer. His mother was Elizabeth Gerrard.   The marriage of his parents gave rise to some comment as they were aged eleven and  nine, which was   considered to be exceptionally young even in an  age of early marriage. He was a commoner of Trinity College, Oxford in 1623-4. He entered Parliament in 1628 as member for Wareham, and was elected for Weymouth and Melcombe Regis in the Long Parliament.

Napier seemed frequently somewhat equivocal in his loyalties. In 1640, as Deputy Lieutenant of Dorset, he was accused of being insufficiently enthusiastic in pressing men for the King's service, and was summoned for questioning by the House of Lords and Attorney General, but apparently was able to explain himself sufficiently that in the following year, on 25 June 1641, he was created a baronet. On the outbreak of the Civil War, he remained loyal to the Crown, and stopped attending the Commons, yet made a £500 loan to Parliament when ordered to do so.

He joined the Royalist army, being one of the commissioners who demanded the surrender of Dorchester, and in January 1644 was disabled from sitting in the Commons for adhering to the King, and subsequently sat in the King's Oxford Parliament. But in September 1644 he submitted to Parliament, and advanced £500 for the relief of Parliamentary garrisons. He was fined a comparatively small amount,£3,514, although his estates in Dorset and Kent were sequestered and in total is said to have lost more than £10,000. Nevertheless, he managed to gather together a further £500 to contribute to the court in exile of the young Charles II, but the man entrusted with secretly transmitting the money to the King, Sir Gilbert Taylor, kept it for himself. However, the facts were uncovered after the Restoration, and Taylor was arrested. Napier was appointed High Sheriff of Dorset for 1650–51.

In token of his loyalty, the King ordered that Sir Gerrard should be annually sent a number of deer from the New Forest, and in 1662 he was also appointed Commissioner for Crown Lands in Dorset. In 1665, when the court had moved temporarily to Salisbury because of the plague in London, Sir Gerrard had the honour of entertaining the King and Queen at his house at Moor Crichel.

Napier married Margaret Colles, daughter of John Colles of Barton Grange, Pitminster, Somersett, and they had one son and two daughters who survived to adulthood. Margaret died in 1660 and he died on 14 May 1673 and was buried at Minterne Church. He was succeeded by his son, Sir Nathaniel.


Expecting to Fly (album)

Expecting to Fly is the debut studio album by The Bluetones. It was released on 12 February 1996, knocking Oasis's (What's the Story) Morning Glory? off the number 1 spot in the UK Albums Chart for a week. The album is currently certified Platinum by the BPI. Its singles were "Bluetonic", "Slight Return" and "Cut Some Rug".

A 2 CD Expanded Edition of the album was released on 9 March 2009.

Reception

Sam Taylor in Q wrote, "Perhaps the most accomplished rock debut album since The Stone Roses in 1989, Expecting to Fly avoids the usual primitive drive of first recordings, in favour of technical brilliance and adventurous songwriting... a classic rock album." List journalist Brian Donaldson likened The Bluetones to "a Squeeze for the 90s", and noted that the record has "excellence exhibited throughout". David Sinclair of Rolling Stone called the album "an accomplished and varied collection of guitar-based tunes with a solid charm rooted in the best traditions of English alternative pop—no more, but certainly no less."

Melody Maker placed it at no. 19 on their list of 1996's Albums of the Year. NME ranked the LP at no. 11 in their 1996 critic poll.

Magnus Eriksson (footballer, born 1990)

Magnus Eriksson (born 8 April 1990) is a Swedish footballer who plays as a winger or forward for San Jose Earthquakes in Major League Soccer.

Career

Early career
Eriksson started his career in the academy at AIK. He was promoted to the first team in 2006 under the management of Rikard Norling. However Eriksson never appeared competitively for the club. After two seasons in 2006 and 2007 without any league appearances Eriksson was sent on loan to two geographically close clubs Akropolis IF, then in Division 2 and FC Väsby United then in Superettan. During these two loan spells Eriksson finally acquired playing time in league football. Väsby United eventually made the loan spell permanent in 2009. Eriksson spent an additional two seasons at the club. He scored 11 goals in 29 matches for the club during the 2010 Superettan season.

Åtvidabergs FF

Eriksson transferred from Väsby United to fellow Superettan club Åtvidabergs FF before the 2011 Superettan season. The season proved to be a success for both Eriksson and Åtvidaberg as he scored 15 goals in 30 matches, finishing as third best goal scorer in the league and helping the club win the title and secure promotion to Allsvenskan. For the 2012 Allsvenskan season Eriksson managed to score 11 goals in 20 matches before eventually being sold to the Belgian club Gent during the 2012 summer transfer window.

Gent
On 21 August 2012 it was made official that Eriksson had transferred to Gent in the Belgian Pro League. Eriksson only made four league appearances for the club during the 2012–13 season. The club had three different managers during the season and Eriksson gained limited playing time.

Malmö FF

On 21 January 2013 Eriksson joined Allsvenskan club Malmö FF on a four-year contract. Eriksson acknowledged that a deciding factor in his transfer was the fact that his former manager Rikard Norling, then manager at Malmö FF, had contacted him personally and expressed his interest in Eriksson joining the club. Eriksson enjoyed a very successful first season at Malmö FF as he became the club's top scorer and top assisting player during the 2013 season. Eriksson scored 11 goals in 30 league matches and provided the club with 14 assists which was the highest number in the 2013 Allsvenskan. He also played all matches for the club during the qualification stage for the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League and scored two goals. During the first part of the season he played together with Tokelo Rantie and then later with homecoming Guillermo Molins as Rantie was sold during the summer transfer window. For his performances during the season, he was nominated to both forward of the year and most valuable player of the year, but ultimately lost both in favour of IFK Göteborg's Tobias Hysén. In the following season Eriksson played a vital part of the team that defended the league title and qualified for the group stage of the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League. He made 30 league appearances, scoring five times. Eriksson also participated in eleven of Malmö FF's matches in the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League. He won the award for goal of the year at Fotbollsgalan for his goal against Red Bull Salzburg on 27 August 2014.

Guizhou Renhe
On 15 December 2014, the transfer of Eriksson to Chinese Super League side Guizhou Renhe was announced. The transfer went through on 1 January 2015 when the Chinese transfer window opened.

Brøndby IF

On 10 July 2015, it was announced that Eriksson had transferred to Danish club Brøndby IF on a 4-year deal. In Brøndby Eriksson was used as a right midfielder.

Djurgårdens IF

On 16 June 2016, it was announced that Eriksson had transferred to Swedish club Djurgårdens IF on a 3,5-year deal. Since number seven which is Erikssons number of choice was taken Eriksson was given number 77, last worn by Abgar Barsom in 2006. On 14 August 2016 Eriksson scored his first goal for Djurgården in a match against IF Elfsborg at the Tele2 Arena. During his first period Eriksson was used as a winger. Ahead of 2017 Eriksson had his shirt number changed from 77 to 7. During 2017, he scored 14 league goals to make him Allsvenskan joint top scorer for the season.

San Jose Earthquakes

On 20 December 2017, the San Jose Earthquakes of MLS announced it had signed Eriksson as a Designated Player. He made his MLS debut on 3 March 2018, in San Jose's season-opening 3-2 victory over Minnesota United. Eriksson scored his first MLS goal, assisted by Danny Hoesen, in his fourth appearance, a 1-1 draw with the Philadelphia Union on 7 April 2018.

Our Own House (song)

"Our Own House" is a song performed by American indie pop band MisterWives. It is the opening track on their debut full-length album of the same name and was issued as the album's first single. The song was co-written by lead singer Mandy Lee. It peaked at number 25 on the Billboard rock chart in 2015.

Critical reception
The song has received positive reviews. Alex Bear of idobi Radio described it as "an explosion [of] brilliant colors between chilled-out verses". Garrett Kamps of Billboard and Miles Waymer of Entertainment Weekly both praised the song's disco feel, with the former further complimenting its "Nile Rodgers-style" guitar work; and the latter stating that Lee's vocals result in a "soaring, emotional melody" while positively comparing her sound to Lorde and Gossip.

Music video

The official music video for the song was directed by Andrew Joffe.

KXZS

KXZS was an American radio station licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast at 107.5 MHz from Wall, South Dakota, covering the Rapid City and Black Hills area from the east. Owned by JER Licenses, it was to become a simulcast with KXZT, which would broadcast on 107.9 from Newell, South Dakota when that station signed on.

The station's license was cancelled by the FCC on August 24, 2016, due to KXZS having been silent for more than twelve months (since March 17, 2015).
