In their first season under head coach Raymond Wolf, the Gators compiled a 0–9 record (0–5 against SEC opponents), finished last in the SEC, and were outscored by a total of 264 to 104. The winless 0–9 season is the worst win–loss record in the history of Gators football to date, surpassing the winless 0–5 record of the 1916 Florida Gators football team. Despite the poor overall showing, Broughton Williams led the nation with 490 receiving yards. Harold Griffin led the nation in punt return average. Griffin had the longest punt return of the year, a 97-yard return against Miami (FL), and 92-yard return against Villanova. The 1946 season was at the center of a school record 13-game losing streak which stretched from the last game of the 1945 campaign until the fourth contest of 1947. The players on these squads dubbed their time at Florida the "Golden Era", and members of the "Golden Era Gang" regularly held reunions and raised funds for scholarships and facilities improvements at UF for many subsequent years. Players on these teams included future Florida attorney general James W. Kynes and College Football Hall of Fame coach Marcelino Huerta. Florida was ranked at No. 84 in the final Litkenhous Difference by Score System rankings for 1946. ## Schedule
1951 St. Louis Browns season	# 1951 St. Louis Browns season ## Abstract The 1951 St. Louis Browns season involved the Browns finishing 8th in the American League with a record of 52 wins, and 102 losses. ## Regular season ### Bill Veeck Bill Veeck, the majority owner and manager of St. Louis Browns, signed Satchel Paige on July 17, 1951, and announced the 45-year-old would start the following night against the Washington Senators. In his first game back in the major leagues since 1949, Paige pitched six innings of shutout baseball before giving up three runs in the 7th inning. Paige ended the season with a 3–4 record and a 4.79 ERA. Another of Veeck's promotions included the signing of Eddie Gaedel. Gaedel gained immortality in the second game of a doubleheader on Sunday, August 19. Weighing just 65 pounds (29 kg), and 3 feet 7 inches (1.09 m) tall, he became the shortest player in the history of the major leagues. He stood 3 feet 4 inches (1.02 m) shorter than Jon Rauch, whose height of 6 ft 11 in (2.11 m) made him the tallest person to play in a major league game. He had been secretly signed by the Browns and put in uniform (complete with elf slippers & the number " 1 ⁄ 8 in (3.2 mm) on the back) as a publicity stunt. Gaedel popped out of a papier-mache cake between games of a doubleheader to celebrate the American League 's 50th anniversary, and as a Falstaff Brewery promotion. Falstaff, and the fans, had been promised a "festival of surprises" by Veeck. Before the second game got underway, the press agreed that the "midget-in-a-cake" appearance had not been up to Veeck's usual promotional standard. Falstaff personnel, who had been promised national publicity for their participation, were particularly dissatisfied. Keeping the surprise he had in store for the second game to himself, Veeck just meekly apologized. Gaedel entered the game between the Browns and Detroit Tigers in the first inning as a pinch hitter for leadoff batter Frank Saucier. Immediately, umpire Ed Hurley called for Browns manager Zack Taylor. Veeck and Taylor had the foresight to have a copy of Gaedel's contract on hand, as well as a copy of the Browns' active roster, which had room for Gaedel's addition. Tigers pitcher Bob Cain walked him. Jim Delsing pinch ran for Gaedel, but did not score. ### Ned Garver In 1951, Ned Garver fashioned an outstanding season. Pitching for the Browns, Garver compiled a 20–12 record, which was noteworthy considering the Browns lost 102 games. Garver also posted a 3.73 ERA. Garver's wins accounted for nearly 40 percent of the Browns' 52 total wins. Garver also led the American League in complete games with 24 in 1951, and when he pitched he often batted sixth in the order rather than the customary ninth, compiling a.305 batting average with one home run. Garver is the only pitcher in American League history to win 20 or more games for a team which lost 100 or more games in the same season, and the only pitcher in Major League history to do since 1920 or with a winning record. ### Record vs. opponents ### Notable transactions - June 4, 1951: Don Lenhardt was traded by the Browns to the Chicago White Sox for Kermit Wahl and Paul Lehner. - July 14, 1951: Satchel Paige was signed as a free agent by the Browns. - July 21, 1951: Bob Nieman was purchased by the Browns from the Oklahoma City Indians. - July 31, 1951: Ray Coleman was selected off waivers from the Browns by the Chicago White Sox. - August 19, 1951: Eddie Gaedel was signed as an amateur free agent by the Browns. ## Player stats ### Batting #### Starters by position Note: Pos = Position; G = Games played; AB = At bats; H = Hits; Avg. = Batting average; HR = Home runs; RBI = Runs batted in #### Other batters Note: G = Games played; AB = At bats; H = Hits; Avg. = Batting average; HR = Home runs; RBI = Runs batted in ### Pitching #### Starting pitchers Note: G = Games pitched; IP = Innings pitched; W = Wins; L = Losses; ERA = Earned run average; SO = Strikeouts #### Other pitchers Note: G = Games pitched; IP = Innings pitched; W = Wins; L = Losses; ERA = Earned run average; SO = Strikeouts #### Relief pitchers Note: G = Games pitched; W = Wins; L = Losses; SV = Saves; ERA = Earned run average; SO = Strikeouts ## Farm system LEAGUE CHAMPIONS: Dayton
1958 Sterlington railroad collision	# 1958 Sterlington railroad collision ## Abstract The 1958 Sterlington railroad disaster was a head-on collision by two Erie Railroad trains on August 11, 1958 at 6:47 AM killing 5 people and injuring 22 to 36 (sources are conflicting). The collision occurred when the operator in the signal tower at Suffern failed to hold the westbound train No. 53 at Suffern for the eastbound No. 50 commuter train from Monroe, New York, to Hoboken, New Jersey. When he realized his error, he attempted to contact the crews via radio but was unsuccessful due to a radio dead spot. The trains impacted head-on right in front of the now abandoned Erie Railroad depot in Sterlington, New York near Sloatsburg, killing the crew of the locomotive No. 859 from train No.50 as well as two passengers and injuring the crew of the locomotive No. 1402 from the westbound train. ## Accident Train No. 50, an eastbound passenger train was led by an American Locomotive Company PA-1 diesel-electric locomotive No. 859, with four passenger coaches. Beginning its day at 5:25 a.m. at Monroe, New York. Meanwhile, train No. 53, a westbound train headed for Port Jervis, New York with an EMD GP7 locomotive No. 1402, a road-switcher, an express car, mail car, mail-bagger car and two passenger coaches departed Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey at 4:00 am. At 5:15 am, the train dispatcher at Hoboken was notified by the New Jersey operator that an eastbound freight train, Extra 703 East, would be coming off the Graham Line with three diesel-electric locomotives, 115 freight cars and a caboose. In order to keep the freight train moving and not delay train No. 50, they moved the freight train onto the eastbound track, switching to westbound track at Hillburn. The dispatcher informed the New Jersey operator at 5:16 by telephone to hold westbound trains and put a stop signal up. The freight was placed on the eastbound main track when it passed New Jersey at 5:28 am, going about 25 miles per hour. Train No. 50 saw the stop signal at New Jersey, and a yellow flag, which noted that the operator had a Form 19 train order to let the freight through; the engineer of train No. 50 sounded the horn and a train order No. 103 was given by the New Jersey operator. Order 103 meant that train 50 could use the westbound main track between New Jersey, and the first crossover track west of Hillburn, and had priority over other trains. Train 50 crossed the interlocking station at 5:32 am, making stops at Southfields, Tuxedo and Sloatsburg. As train No. 50 approached what was to become the scene of the accident, the engineer and a fireman and a road foreman were sitting the cab of locomotive 859 while the conductor, front brakeman and a flagman were located in the first coach of the train; the road foreman noted that after they departed Sloatsburg, they had seen train 53 coming up the line, but could not distinguish which track it was on because of the curve and vegetation alongside the tracks. When the road foreman and fireman saw train 53 on the westbound track, they notified the brakeman, who reduced the speed from 50 miles per hour 20 miles per hour Meanwhile, the engineer and the fireman entered the engine compartment of locomotive 859. On train 53, the crew was divided between cars; the engineer and his colleagues were in control of locomotive 1402, which was now running on the westbound main line track north of Hillburn. The headlights were also dimmed on locomotive 1402. With no hold order for them, they continued on the westbound tack. when the engineer of 1402 saw the oncoming train, the emergency brakes were activated. The two trains collided in front of the freight depot of the Erie Railroad in the hamlet of Sterlington. The two engines were described as being welded together from the force of the impact by officials responding to the scene, while several of the coaches on train No. 50 crashed into each other, pulling their wheels off the track. However, neither the locomotives or the cars behind them derailed. ## Aftermath The case was ruled to be caused by human error and the signalman Frederick Roth was cleared of culpable negligence charges and was laid off in September

2002 Chilean telethon	# 2002 Chilean telethon ## Abstract The 2002 Chilean telethon (Spanish: Teletón 2002) was the 17th Telethon charity campaign held in Chile, which took place 29 – 30 November 2002. The theme was "The Telethon is Yours", (La Teletón es tuya) due to the complicated economic situation the country was experiencing that year, and to the lack of a Telethon in 2001 because of the parliamentary election. The goal was to raise CL$10 billion. In 2001, the Telethon Foundation gave a press conference warning that they had to borrow one billion pesos to cover expenses for the subsequent months. Because of this, part of the official advertising featured the message "The Telethon is at zero pesos, help more than ever". The message also appeared on the official poster of the event featuring Don Francisco with a sad face showing the empty pockets of his trousers. A final collection of CL$10,532,480,521 was reached, greatly exceeding the goal. The total was publicly given in the Chile's National Stadium on 1 December. The poster girl for the event was Kimberly Cruz. ## First goal Don Francisco predicted that donations were going to exceed Telethon 2000 which collected $6,450,614,205. The last total announced in the theatre was $6,598,843,607, 148 million more than the previous season's goal. ## Controversy ### Threat of boycott One of the controversies was a threat of boycott by supporters of the Communist Party of Chile for alleged misuse of money donated. The party claimed that 25% of the collection was for entertainers and artists, and even said Don Francisco took 5% of donations. The charges were eventually dismissed. For her part, the party leader, Gladys Marin, told the press that the event should not be for entertainment but a task of state, also criticizing the donation of $40,000,000 that was to be given to the then Mayor of Santiago, Joaquin Lavín Infante. ### Reviews of Los Prisioneros At the close of the Telethon at the National Stadium, the group Los Prisioneros was introduced, who changed the lyrics of the song "Quieren Dinero" (They want money). In the new words, Jorge González Rios criticized both economic groups and various right-wing politicians in the chorus: "Quiero más Luksic, quiero más Angelini; quiero más UDI, quiero más Pinocheques; quiero más Büchi, quiero más Lavín; quiero más libras, quiero más dólares" (I want more Luksic, I want more Angelini, I want more UDI, I want more Pinocheques, I want more Büchi, I want more Lavín, I want more pounds, I want more dollars). The action was criticized by the organizers, decrying the use of the campaign for proselytizing, but it had the support of a significant number of Chileans who understood that the words of Gonzalez Ríos reflected the reality of the campaign: "How nice! isn't it? How nice that you can transform one thing into another, that of all the giant ego, of all the desire to appear that the artists have, no? it can be transformed into help for children. That all the greed and sense of good business that companies have, that they can raise prices, pay less taxes, advertise themselves, and that what people eat, in quotes, to help, really you can help children. But it is the (?)rooster who puts his hand in his pocket at the end, and the goal is met." On closing the event, the entertainer Kike Morande found the sayings of the group's vocalist a "very bad thing". Days later, at a conference, Gonzalez reaffirmed the statements he made in the last hours of the event. The Executive Director of the Telethon, Ximena Casarejos called the words of Gonzalez "like an attack", in an interview given to the Chilean newscast, 24 Horas.Another version circulating about the reason for this criticism was a suspected "personal vengeance" by Jorge Gonzalez against the organizers of the Telethon, for the alleged censorship by TVN during the performance of its group in the 1985's Telethon, since Los Prisioneros was openly opposed to the then military regime of Augusto Pinochet. ## Artists ### National singers - Joe Vasconcellos - Myriam Hernández - Mala Junta - Andrés De León - Douglas - Alberto Plaza - Café con Leche - Luis Jara - Ciao - DJ Méndez - Los Jaivas - Los Prisioneros - Yerko Triviño - La Ley - Supernova - Buddy Richard ### International singers - Emmanuel - Pedro Fernández - Axé Bahía - Víctor Manuel - Yuri - Porto Seguro - Carambaxé - Luis Fonsi - Paolo Meneguzzi - Patricia Manterola ### Comedians - Sandy - Daniel Vilches - Bombo Fica - Coco Legrand - Álvaro Salas - Dino Gordillo ### Magazine - The Politicians danced axé - Team Mekano - Bafochi ### Children's section - Cachureos - Los Tachuelas - Zoolo TV ### Adult's section - Graciela Alfano ## Transmission - Red Televisión - UCV Televisión - Televisión Nacional de Chile - Mega - Chilevisión - Canal 13
1940 Jersey election	# 1940 Jersey election ## Abstract Elections were held in Jersey on 30 August 1940. The island was occupied by the Germans from 1 July 1940 until the surrender of the German forces on 9 May 1945. During this time, there was one election, held soon after the occupation began. The result installed puppet leader Edward Campbell as a front for the German administration, which was centered around the department of Manche, a French department in Normandy. Also standing was Thomas Jenkins. The election was unique in that only two candidates stood to represent the entire island. The post voted for was short-lived, and the Nazis removed it in 1942 to little reaction from the islanders. Campbell returned to his suffering business. He later went broke and died before the end of the war. ## Candidates - Edward Campbell was a businessman in his mid fifties, and considerably more experienced than his opponent, a fact which he exploited to win over 70% of the vote - Thomas Jenkins was a politician from Jersey, after losing he escaped the island and joined the army in England, and fought the Axis powers in North Africa. He received 30% of the vote.

1/2 − 1/4 + 1/8 − 1/16 + ⋯	# 1/2 − 1/4 + 1/8 − 1/16 + ⋯ ## Abstract In mathematics, the infinite series 1/2 − 1/4 + 1/8 − 1/16 + ⋯ is a simple example of an alternating series that converges absolutely. It is a geometric series whose first term is 1 / 2 and whose common ratio is − 1 / 2, so its sum is ## Hackenbush and the surreals A slight rearrangement of the series reads The series has the form of a positive integer plus a series containing every negative power of two with either a positive or negative sign, so it can be translated into the infinite blue-red Hackenbush string that represents the surreal number 1 / 3: A slightly simpler Hackenbush string eliminates the repeated R: In terms of the Hackenbush game structure, this equation means that the board depicted on the right has a value of 0; whichever player moves second has a winning strategy. ## Related series - The statement that 1 / 2 − 1 / 4 + 1 / 8 − 1 / 16 + ⋯ is absolutely convergent means that the series 1 / 2 + 1 / 4 + 1 / 8 + 1 / 16 + ⋯ is convergent. In fact, the latter series converges to 1, and it proves that one of the binary expansions of 1 is 0.111.... - Pairing up the terms of the series 1 / 2 − 1 / 4 + 1 / 8 − 1 / 16 + ⋯ results in another geometric series with the same sum, 1 / 4 + 1 / 16 + 1 / 64 + 1 / 256 + ⋯. This series is one of the first to be summed in the history of mathematics; it was used by Archimedes circa 250–200 BC. - The Euler transform of the divergent series 1 − 2 + 4 − 8 + ⋯ is 1 / 2 − 1 / 4 + 1 / 8 − 1 / 16 + ⋯. Therefore, even though the former series does not have a sum in the usual sense, it is Euler summable to 1 / 3.

16 Lacertae	# 16 Lacertae ## Abstract 16 Lacertae is a triple star system in the northern constellation of Lacerta, located about 1,580 light years from the Sun. It has the variable star designation EN Lacertae; 16 Lacertae is the Flamsteed designation. This system is visible to the naked eye as a faint blue-white hued star with a maximum apparent visual magnitude of +5.587. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of –12 km/s. The binary nature of the brighter component was discovered in 1910 by astronomer Oliver J. Lee at Yerkes Observatory. The first orbital elements were published by Otto Struve and Nicholay T. Bobrovnikov in 1925. This is a single-lined spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 12.1 days and a small eccentricity of 0.05. It forms an eclipsing binary variable, although only the eclipse of the primary component has been detected. This component is a Beta Cephei variable star with three dominant pulsation modes having frequencies of around six per day. It has a stellar classification of B2 IV, matching a B-type subgiant star with 9.5 times the mass of the Sun and 5.6 times the Sun's radius. The unseen secondary is an F-type star of class F6–7. The tertiary component is a magnitude 11.4 star with a class of F0. As of 2008, it was located at an angular separation of 27.6 ″ from the primary.
180th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment PVO	# 180th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment PVO ## Abstract The 180th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (180th Guards IAP) was a military unit of the Red Army Air Force, which took part in the fighting of the Great Patriotic War, and then became part of the Russian Air Defence Forces and finally the Russian Air Force. The regiment traced its heritage back to the 181st Fighter Aviation Regiment, which began forming just before the beginning of Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union. The regiment flew the Lavochkin-Gorbunov-Gudkov LaGG-3 and the Lavochkin La-5 fighters during the war and in mid-1944 was converted into the 180th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment. Postwar, the regiment became an interceptor-equipped air defence unit, and during the Korean War it trained People's Liberation Army Air Force pilots while stationed in China. In 1952 it was moved west to Leningrad Oblast, and from 1953 to its 2002 disbandment the 180th Guards served as an air defence unit based at Gromovo. ## History ### World War II The 181st Fighter Aviation Regiment began forming on 24 May 1941 at Shatalovo air field near Pochinok, part of the Air Force of the Western Special Military District. As a result of the beginning of the German invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June, the regiment was withdrawn to Rostov-on-Don, where it finished forming on 27 July, training with the 11th Reserve Fighter Aviation Regiment on the Lavochkin-Gorbunov-Gudkov LaGG-3 fighter. The new regiment was organized according to shtat 015/134. The 181st continued training there until 19 August, where it entered combat, directly subordinated to the Air Force of the Southern Front (VVS). On 24 August, the regiment became part of the Air Force of the Southwestern Front 's 44th Fighter Aviation Division (IAD), which was transferred to the VVS Southern Front's Air Force of the 6th Army only three days later. The 181st was shifted to the VVS Southwestern Front' 64th Fighter Aviation Division on 7 September. On 1 January 1942, it was reorganized on the front according to shtat 015/174 at Novo-Astrakhan, Voroshilovgrad Oblast in eastern Ukraine. Between 10 February and 2 July, the regiment was assigned to the VVS 6th Army. It fought in the Second Battle of Kharkov. Worn down from months of fighting, the regiment was pulled out of the front on 2 July and by 10 July was assigned to the 2nd Reserve Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Air Forces of the Moscow Military District, stationed at the Seyma station in Volodarsk. There, it was reorganized according to shtat 015/284 and reequipped with the new Lavochkin La-5 fighter. On 23 September, the 181st became part of the 1st Fighter Aviation Corps ' 235th Fighter Aviation Division in the Reserve of the Supreme High Command (RVGK). The regiment would remain with the 235th for the rest of its existence. A month later, it was sent to the Kalinin Front with the corps and division, which became part of the 3rd Air Army. The regiment only remained on the Kalinin Front for a few weeks, and on 6 November it and the 235th IAD was rushed to the Stalingrad Front, where it was included in the 2nd Mixed Aviation Corps. Two days later the corps became part of the 8th Air Army, and the regiment entered combat in the Battle of Stalingrad. The regiment became part of an aviation group commanded by Colonel V.A. Sryvkin, tasked with supporting the advancing troops in the battle. The group was transferred to the right bank of the Volga, and in early December its planes suffered heavy losses to German fighters and anti-aircraft fire. After eight days of fighting, the several regiments of the group mustered only 38 serviceable aircraft, and among them not one La-5. As a result, the group was withdrawn back over the Volga in mid-December. On 3 January 1943, the regiment was transferred to the Southern Front with the entire 8th Air Army. Between 5 March and 31 May, it was held in reserve with the 235th IAD in the 7th Mixed Aviation Corps as part of the Southwestern Front and then the Steppe Military District from 30 April. On 4 May, the 181st received the honorific "Stalingrad" in honor of its actions during that battle. On 1 June, the regiment was sent to the front with the division, which became part of the 3rd Fighter Aviation Corps (IAK) of the North Caucasian Front 's 4th Air Army. The 235th IAD and the regiment were moved to the 2nd Air Army 's 10th Fighter Aviation Corps on the Voronezh Front on 10 July, with which it entered combat on 21 July, fighting in the Donbass Strategic Offensive. From 24 August to 3 October, the regiment conducted training in the front reserve. The 181st reentered combat on 4 October, fighting in the advance west through Ukraine, and the front became the 1st Ukrainian Front on 20 October. In early 1944, the regiment fought in the Korsun–Shevchenkovsky Offensive. On 5 August 1944, the 10th IAK was transferred to the 8th Air Army in the 4th Ukrainian Front. On 19 August, the regiment was converted into the 180th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment for "exemplary performance of combat missions and displaying courage and heroism." The 235th IAD was also converted into the 15th Guards Fighter Aviation Division. On 27 September, the regiment was reorganized according to shtat 015/364 at Lysiatychi in western Ukraine. On 16 December, the 180th Guards IAP was awarded the Order of the Red Banner for its actions in the capture of Michalovce. It fought in the Prague Offensive in the last days of the war. The regiment left the active army on 11 May 1945 at the end of the war. During the war, the regiment flew 7,695 sorties, reported shooting down 213 enemy aircraft, and destroyed 31 on the ground for a total of 244 destroyed aircraft. This came at a cost of 155 downed aircraft and 64 pilots killed, divided as follows: 25 in aerial combat, 24 failed to return, 2 in air raids and other non-combat losses, and 13 died in crashes and of wounds. ### Cold War and Russian service Between May and July 1945, the regiment was based at Oberglogau. In July 1945, the 10th IAK was withdrawn to the Carpathian Military District, where it became part of the 14th Air Army, and the regiment moved to Cherlyany. During that year, it was reequipped with the improved Lavochkin La-7. In June 1949, the 15th Guards IAD and the regiment were transferred to the Soviet Air Defence Forces (PVO), becoming part of the 20th Fighter Air Defence Army at Oryol. There, the regiment became one of the first equipped with the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-9, the first of a series of Mikoyan-and-Gurevich jet fighters. In April 1950, the regiment received its first Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15s. In October 1950, the 180th Guards IAP was relocated to Tangshan in the People's Republic of China, where it was transferred to the newly formed 20th Fighter Aviation Division PVO. The regiment was stationed there until February 1952, training PLAAF pilots on the now-obsolete MiG-9s and providing air defence for Beijing. In March of that year, the 20th IAD and the 180th were relocated to Veshchevo airfield in Leningrad Oblast. In mid-1953, the regiment moved to the Gromovo, Priozersky District of Leningrad Oblast.

1889 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team	# 1889 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team ## Abstract The 1889 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team represented the University of Minnesota as an independent during the 1889 college football season. This was the only season to feature game coaches. ## Before the season After Frederick S. Jones stopped actively coaching, the team used game coaches for one season instead of finding a replacement for him. The McCords, like Coach Peebles, had played football at Princeton. 1889 finally saw the formation of a football association. Before 1889, there wasn't any kind of official connection between the football team and the student body, which sometimes resulted in player shortages and required recruitment from other schools in order to have enough men to play in the games. Once again, an attempt was made to schedule a game with the University of Michigan, but "Michigan wanted Minnesota to pay all of the expenses of the trip, which would amount to two hundred dollars. The Minnesota management was not able to see its way clear to guarantee this and so the game was given up." Team of 1889: Quarterback, Alf F. Pillsbury (captain); Halfbacks, George K. Belden, John F. Hayden; Fullback, Grant Rossman; Rush Line, Birney E. Trask (l.e.), A.J. Harris (l.t.), R.B. Brower (l.g.), E.H. Day (r.e.), J.E. Madigan (r.t.), George C. Sikes (r.g.), H.R. Robinson (center); Substitutes, M.B. Davidson, Charles E. Guthrie and W.M. Thompson.

1984 (song)	# 1984 (song) ## Abstract " 1984 " is a song by the English musician David Bowie, from his 1974 album Diamond Dogs, released as a single in the United States and Japan. Written in 1973, it was inspired by George Orwell 's Nineteen Eighty-Four and, like much of its parent album, originally intended for a stage musical based on the novel, which was never produced because permission was refused by Orwell's widow Sonia. ## Music and lyrics The centrepiece of side two of the original vinyl album, in the context of Bowie's adaptation of Orwell's story, "1984" has been interpreted as representing Winston Smith 's imprisonment and interrogation by O'Brien. The lyrics also bear some similarities to Bowie's earlier song "All the Madmen", from The Man Who Sold the World ("They'll split your pretty cranium and fill it full of air"). "1984"'s wah-wah guitar sound is often likened to the " Theme from Shaft " (1971) by Isaac Hayes. Played by Alan Parker, it was one of the few instances on the Diamond Dogs album where Bowie himself did not take the lead guitar part. The track's funk / soul influence has been cited as a clear indicator of where Bowie's style was headed on his next album, Young Americans. ## Recording and release "1984" was first recorded during the Aladdin Sane sessions. The song received its public debut, in a medley with "Dodo", known as "1984/Dodo", on the U.S. TV special The 1980 Floor Show (later bootlegged as Dollars in Drag), which was recorded in London on 18–20 October 1973. A studio version of "1984/Dodo" was recorded around that time, but went unreleased until it appeared on the Sound + Vision box set in 1989. This was Bowie's last recording with Mick Ronson, Trevor Bolder and producer Ken Scott at Trident Studios, London. In addition to the "1984/Dodo" medley, "Dodo" and "1984" were also recorded separately, "Dodo" as a demo in September 1973 and "1984" itself during the later Diamond Dogs sessions that winter. Only "1984" made it onto the Diamond Dogs album, with the separated "Dodo" being released for the first time as a bonus track on the 1990 Rykodisc release of the album. The final version of "1984" was faster and funkier than the medley and, as described by Bowie encyclopedist Nicholas Pegg, "an obvious single if there ever was one". However, it was released as a single (PB 10026) only in America, Japan and New Zealand, reaching 17 in New Zealand and 96 in the United States (Cash Box). The track generally opened the Diamond Dogs concerts in 1974 but was not performed live after the soul tour in 1975. ## Reception Billboard regarded "1984" as Bowie's "most commercial cut...in a long time." Cash Box said that "the combination and intensity of both words and music make this a true pop delight in classic Bowie form." Record World said that "futuristic phantasmigorical fulfillment of Bowie's sci-fi epic promise is realized in the theme from his Midnight Special TV shot." ## Personnel According to Chris O'Leary: - David Bowie – lead vocals - Geoff MacCormack – backing vocals - Alan Parker – lead guitar - Mike Garson – electric piano, piano - Herbie Flowers – bass guitar - Aynsley Dunbar or Tony Newman – drums - Tony Visconti – string arrangement Technical - David Bowie – producer - Keith Harwood ? – engineer ## Live versions "1984" was performed regularly during Bowie's 1974 Diamond Dogs Tour; a July 1974 performance of was released on David Live (1974), Bowie's first official live album. Another live version from the second leg of the Diamond Dogs Tour, recorded in September 1974 and previously available only on the unofficial album A Portrait in Flesh, was released in 2017 on Cracked Actor (Live Los Angeles '74). A third live version, recorded during the third leg of the tour in October 1974, was released in 2020 on I'm Only Dancing (The Soul Tour 74). A live in-studio performance recorded in November 1974 is included on the DVD set The Dick Cavett Show: Rock Icons. ## Other releases "1984" was released as a single in the U.S. in July 1974, backed with " Queen Bitch " from Bowie's 1971 album Hunky Dory. The song has appeared on several of Bowie's compilation albums, including Chameleon (Australia/New Zealand 1979), Changestwobowie (1981), Fame and Fashion (1984), and The Best of David Bowie 1974/1979 (1998). "1984/Dodo" was released in the Sound + Vision box set in 1989, and on the bonus disc of the 30th Anniversary Edition of Diamond Dogs in 2004. "Dodo" was released as a bonus track on the 1990 Rykodisc reissue of Diamond Dogs, as well as on the bonus disc of the 30th Anniversary Edition of Diamond Dogs in 2004. Tina Turner covered the song for her 1984 album Private Dancer; that same year, Turner was a guest vocalist on Bowie's cover of " Tonight " for the album of the same name.

141st Signal Battalion (United States)	# 141st Signal Battalion (United States) ## Abstract 141st Signal Battalion (" The Communicators ") was a United States battalion which deployed to install, operate and maintain C4I systems in support of 1st Armored Division operations, major subordinate commands and attached units as required. ## History The 141st Signal Battalion dates back to 1 June 1940, when it was activated at Fort Knox, Kentucky, as the 7th Signal Troop (Mechanized). It was later redesignated the 47th Signal Company (Armored), and assigned to the 1st Armored Division. On 12 August 1941, the organization's designation was changed to the 141st Armored Signal Company. Detachments of the 141st were in the initial assault waves on the beaches of North Africa as part of Operation Torch in 1942. The 141st supported the 1st Armored Division as it fought its way across the African coast, capturing Oran and cleaning out Tunisia. It was part of the division's spearhead in the Battle of the Kasserine Pass. The official history of the United States Army in World War II says of the unit during this period, "This unit was undoubtedly one of the best signal outfits in the Army…. The service provided by this crack unit suggested how effective communications could be in the hands of experienced troops." After the Africa Campaign, the 141st moved to Italy, landing at Salerno. It fought as part of the 1st Armored Division at Anzio, Rome and Naples; participated in the campaign of the Italian Mountains, and was with the division when it captured Milan. The battalion colors carry campaign streamers from World War II for Tunisia, Anzio, Naples-Foggia, Rome-Arno, Po Valley and North Apennines. After World War II, in February 1946, the 1st Armored Division and the 141st redeployed to Camp Kilmer, New Jersey, where it was inactivated on 26 April 1946. During the Korean War, the unit was reactivated in March 1951 at Fort Hood, Texas, but did not deploy. In February 1957, the 141st Signal Company was reorganized as a battalion but was shortly deactivated again in December 1957. Its current active status dates from February 1960. In August 1971, the 141st Signal Battalion began deployment to Ansbach, Germany, where it began its current history as a forward-deployed European-based Battalion. On 20 December 1990, the 141st Signal Battalion was deployed to Southwest Asia in support of Operation Desert Shield. The battalion provided front line communications to the 1st Armored Division in the fast-moving VII Corps campaign to destroy Iraqi forces during Operation Desert Storm and the liberation of Kuwait. B Company was awarded the Valorous Unit Award. Upon redeployment from Southwest Asia, the colors of the 141st Signal Battalion relocated to Bad Kreuznach, Germany, where, on 26 November 1991, they replaced those of the 8th Signal Battalion. In December 1995, advance elements of the battalion deployed with the 1st Armored Division to Bosnia and Herzegovina in support of Operation Joint Endeavor. In September 1997, the battalion again deployed to Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of the Stabilization Force (SFOR) deployed in support of Operation Joint Guard. The battalion returned to Bad Kreuznach in June 1998. In June 2000, elements of the battalion deployed to Kosovo to support the 1st Armored Division's peace-keeping mission.
