title: Jimmy Duggan (jockey)

text:
Jimmy Duggan (born 9 August 1964, in Hillingdon, Middlesex) is a former English national hunt jockey.

Having his first competitive race ride on 22 October 1979. His first winner came five months later at an Irish point-to-point meeting on 10 February 1980. His first of 311 professional victories came at Leopardstown when riding "Killeenyarda" in February 1982.  Duggan took up his apprenticeship in England under the wing of Ulverston trainer Roger Fisher, where his association with horses such as Amarach and Aonoch came into fruition.

It was in the 1983 Bula Hurdle at Cheltenham where at the age of 19 Duggan had his first big race winner when riding Amarach.

On leaving the yard of Roger Fisher, Duggan moved south to the Lambourn stables of renowned champion trainer and former champion jockey Fred Winter, where he was to be associated with such horses as Aces Wild, Sailors Dance, Ulan Bator, Conquering and the only Fred Winter-owned horse in the yard Bargill.

Also Duggan had two winning rides on Celtic Shot, before the partnership were bought down in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham, he was subsequently to lose that ride to Peter Scudamore and they later won the 1986 Champion Hurdle.

Along with Sailors Dance Duggan won the 1985 Scottish Champion Hurdle, at Ayr.

When both Amarach and Aonoch were moved to trainer Sally Oliver's yard in Worcestershire, the association with the pair was continued. Unfortunately Amarach's racing career was cut short following a training injury.

One of Jimmy Duggan's most memorable winning rides came at Aintree, Liverpool in the guise of the 1986 Sandemans Hurdle, where the partnership took on a number of top class hurdlers, including the three times and reigning Champion Hurdler, See You Then. The pair battled it out side by side up the run in to the line, Aonoch holding on to beat the champion by a neck, with Duggan giving Aonoch a tremendous ride of strength and precision, two of Duggan's trademarks

The jockeys' most disappointing moment in his career was probably a ride on Aonoch, whom Duggan actually rode a total of 14 victories on, was undoubtedly in the 1986 Champion Hurdle for Sally Oliver, they were being touted for at the very least a place, however from the outset of the race Duggan had his fears that something was not quite right with fellow, Aonoch was not feeling right, not moving fluently, he never got into his running and was most disappointing, finishing tailed off and without ever once having been put into the race, most uncharacteristic of the little horse who was renowned as a battler. Duggan was quick to realise that the horse was suffering from corns, which was an ailment that plagued the horse from time to time. However, after the race it was realised that there was another factor to his bad running, in that the horse suffered a heavy blow to his head when at the fourth hurdle Corporal Clinger fell in front of Aonoch and caught him.  On his return from the course Aonoch was bleeding profusely from both nostrils, which he recovered from.  All of that was forgotten just 25 days later at Aintree with the famous victory over See You Then.

Since retiring from the saddle, Jimmy Duggan has since moved to the United States where he has become a successful businessman, now married to his wife Jane (July 2003) with one daughter, Grace.

Jimmy is also well known face on American television, as the voice of steeplechasing and leading steeplechase analyst in the country.

title: Cotton Mills and Factories Act 1819

text:
The Cotton Mills and Factories Act 1819 (59 Geo. 3. c. 66) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which was its first attempt to regulate the hours and conditions of work of children in the cotton industry. It was introduced by Sir Robert Peel, who had first introduced a bill on the matter in 1815. The 1815 bill had been instigated by Robert Owen, but the Act as passed was much weaker than the 1815 bill; the Act forbade the employment of children under 9; children aged 9–16 years were limited to 12 hours' work per day and could not work at night.  There was no effective means of its enforcement, but it established the precedent for Parliamentary intervention on conditions of employment which was followed by subsequent Factory Acts.

Background
The Health and Morals of Apprentices Act 1802 had been introduced by Sir Robert Peel to improve conditions for apprentices working in cotton mills. Peel was one of the richest millowners in England, and had become concerned at the poor health of child apprentices working in his mills (which he blamed on 'gross mismanagement' by his subordinates) and in cotton mills in general. Early mills had been water-powered, and hence sited where there was a useful fall of water, rather than where there was an available workforce.  Child apprentices had been widely used as a cheap and captive workforce.  The Act required that cotton mills and factories be properly ventilated and basic requirements on cleanliness be met.  Apprentices in  these premises were to be given a basic education and to attend a religious service at least once a month. They were to be provided with clothing and their working hours were limited to no more than twelve hours a day (excluding meal breaks); they were not to work at night.

The Act was not effectively enforced, and did not address the working conditions of 'free children' (children working in mills who were not apprentices). Improvements in the generation of rotary motion by steam engines made steam-powered cotton mills a practical proposition; they were already operating in Manchester in 1795, using free children drawn from the local population.  The great advantage parish apprentices had had was that they were tied to the mill, no matter how remote the mill had to be to avail itself of water power.  If the mill no longer had to be remote, it became a problem that the mill was tied to the apprentices.  Apprentices had to be housed clothed and fed whether or not the mill could sell what they produced; they were in competition with free children whose wages would fall if the mill went on short time ( and might not reflect the full cost of housing clothing and feeding them, since that was incurred whether they were working or not) and who could be discharged if sick, injured or otherwise incapable of work.  Consequently, the use of free children came to predominate: the Act became largely a dead letter within its limited scope, and inapplicable to most factory children.

In 1819, a Lords Committee heard evidence from a Bolton magistrate who had investigated 29 local cotton mills; 20 had no apprentices but employed a total of 550 children under 14; the other nine mills employed a total of 98 apprentices, and a total of 350 children under 14.  Apprentices were mostly found in the larger mills, which had somewhat better conditions; some even worked a 12-hour day or less (the Grant brothers' mill at Tottington worked an 11.5-hour day: "This establishment has perfect ventilation; all the apprentices, and in fact all the children, are healthy, happy, clean, and well clothed ; proper and daily attention is paid to their instruction ; and they regularly attend divine worship on Sundays."): in other mills children worked up to 15 hours a day in bad conditions (e.g. Gortons and Roberts' Elton mill: "Most filthy; no ventilation; the apprentices and other children ragged, puny, not half clothed, and seemingly not half fed; no instruction of any sort; no human beings can be more wretched").

In 1815, Robert Owen, owner of a prosperous mill at New Lanark approached Peel with a draft Bill to regulate the use of children in the textile industry.  Peel agreed to steer the Bill through Parliament.  Owen's draft was given a First Reading late in the 1815 session (so that copies could be printed and sent out for consultation before the 1816 session; other bills were given similar 'advance notice' First Readings at the end of the 1815 session). In the 1816 session Peel chaired a Commons Committee collecting evidence intended to show the necessity for legislation.  Peel did not bring forward a Bill in the 1817 session (because - he explained later - he was ill; he certainly withdrew from business in January 1817).  In 1818  he did: the Bill got as far as the House of Lords, but lapsed when a  General Election was called.  In 1819, he again presented a Bill; the Lords felt it necessary to set up a Committee of their own to hear evidence on the issue; nonetheless in 1819 an Act was finally passed to regulate the working conditions of children working in cotton mills and factories.

The Act
The Act passed in 1819 was only a pale shadow of Owen's draft of 1815. The bill presented in 1815, applied to all children in textile mills and factories; with children under ten were not to be employed; children between ten and eighteen could work no more than ten hours a day, with two hours for mealtimes and half an hour for schooling this made a 12.5 hour day; Magistrates were to be empowered to appoint paid inspectors (to be independent of the mills and factories they inspected); and Inspectors were to be able to demand admission to mills at any time of day.

Meanwhile, the Act passed in 1819, only applied to children in cotton mills and factories; with only children under nine to not be employed; children between nine and sixteen could work no more than twelve hours a day (not including mealtimes or schooling); the twelve hours to be worked between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m.; at least half an hour to be allowed for breakfast, and a dinner break of at least an hour to be taken between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. (an amending Act in the next session (60 Geo. 3 & 1 Geo. 4. c. 5) amended these limits to 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.); There was no provision for routine inspection of mills; if two witnesses gave information upon oath that a mill was breaking the Act, local magistrates could send their clerk (or a paid deputy) to inspect the mill. If the mill was indeed breaking the Act, then it was liable to further inspections without fresh informations being laid.

The Act therefore did little more than establish the principle of government intervention and set forth a relatively unambitious and virtually unenforceable standard.

An amending Act (60 Geo. 3 & 1 Geo. 4. c. 5) was passed in December 1819. It was introduced by Sir Robert Peel, who explained that "the object of the amendment was, when any accident by fire or otherwise took place in a factory, to allow the people thrown out of employment by such accident, to work by night, in such part of the works as were not destroyed, till the accident was made good. If this was not allowed, the worst consequences must arise, from letting loose on society a number of people without employment."
(Contemporary newspaper reports indicate that this followed a fire at one of the mills at New Lanark, and that Peel indicated that unless the Act was passed by the start of January, many of the workers there would become unemployed.)

Objections
Robert Owen blamed the failure to get an Act closely matching his bill passed on Peel's failure to move swiftly before opposition had a chance to get organised.  However, the 1815 bill was extremely ambitious and the dates at which subsequent factory legislation matched its provisions (paid inspectors 1833 Act; ten-hour day 1847 Act, minimum age ten 1874 Act) do not suggest that if passed it would have been regarded as a definitive settlement. Objections to the much weaker 1819 bill were still strong and varied; a contemporary pro-bill pamphlet listed (and to its own satisfaction rebutted) eight different arguments against the bill, most of which were to continue to be urged against subsequent factory legislation for many years:
 that nothing in the working conditions of mill children showed any need for legislation
 that the bill is inquisitorial, interferes with free labour, with parental authority, and in effect with the labour of adults, because the adults cannot work without the children
 that the bill would make British industry uncompetitive on the world market
 that the bill created a dangerous precedent "If eleven hours actual labour be fixed as a maximum in Cotton Mills, how can Parliament refuse to impose a similar maximum for all other trades?"
 that there was no need for legislation; enlightened millowners already saw the need for good working conditions; given time the rest would also
 that restricting working hours was unfair to water-powered mills
 that restricting the hours of children would mean millowners would employ men rather than children – rather than benefitting children the bill would make them unemployable
 that reducing the hours mills were operated would have a bad effect on the morals of the millworkers

title: Domestic! Virgin Line

text:
Domestic! Virgin Line (stylised as DOMESTIC! Virgin LINE) is a brief concert tour by Japanese band Tokyo Jihen. The tour was the first of two to support their second album, Adult (2006). Unlike most of the band's tours, a video album was never produced, however a Fuji Television program called Tokyo Jihen Live in Nippon Budokan was produced to showcase the performance.

Background

Tokyo Jihen was first formed in 2003, after Ringo Sheena decided on members for her backing band for her Sugoroku Ecstasy tour. The band was officially announced as Sheena's main musical unit on May 31, 2004. This was followed by their debut album Kyōiku in November 2004, and a 14 date Japan-wide tour entitled Dynamite!.

After the Dynamite! tour, two of the original members of the band made decisions to leave. Pianist H Zetto M left to focus on his activities with jazz ensemble Pe'z, while guitarist Mikio Hirama left to focus on his activities as a solo musician. Sheena sought new members to replace them, and asked pianist Ichiyo Izawa, who she had known since 2004, and Ryosuke Nagaoka, a guitarist Sheena had met through her brother Junpei Shiina who often collaborated on her demo takes. The band began to record their second album Adult in July 2005.

The Domestic! Virgin Line concerts were first announced on September 27, 2005. The first release with the new line-up was a single in November 2005, "Shuraba", followed by the release of Adult on January 25, 2006. The new line-up was featured on an episode of Music Station on November 2 to perform "Shuraba". They performed at a series of fan-club events in December 2005, entitled Dai Ikkai Ringo-han Taikai: Adults Only. Domestic! Virgin Line was organised to test how the audience would respond to the two new members, and to introduce them properly. A month and a half later, the band performed a full-length tour to promote Adult called Domestic! Just Can't Help It., where the band performed 21 dates in April and May 2006.

Concert synopsis

The concerts began with "Sōretsu", the final song from Sheena's third album Kalk Samen Kuri no Hana, backed with a 60 member chorus of elementary school age girls, Suginami Junior Chorus, wearing sailor suits and rabbit ears. The choir stay for the second song, "Gunjō Biyori", which was performed in a slow tempo, laid-back style. For the performance of "Kabuki", Sheena sung it into a megaphone, while the lyrics were displayed in a light show behind the band. For "Service", all members stood at the front of the stage with megaphones, while performing a dance routine. The members picked up hand-held instruments for "Bokoku Jōcho", including a marching drum for Hata and a melodica for Izawa, and walked in file around the stage, close to the audience. An instrumental section of the song included the melody of Sheena's debut song "Kōfukuron".

Recordings

The February 19 performance at the Nippon Budokan was recorded, broadcast on a Fuji Television program Tokyo Jihen Live in Nippon Budokan on March 25, 2006. The program featured a selection of 12 of the 18 performed songs, interspersed with interviews with the band members and rehearsal footage. The songs cut from the broadcast were "Bokoku Jōcho", "Kyogen-shō", "Marunouchi Sadistic", "Rakujitsu", "Shuraba" and "Super Star".

On August 29, 2012, a live history video album was released called Chin Play Kō Play, featuring performances from throughout the band's career. Four recordings from Domestic! Virgin Line were present: the opening number "Sōretsu" as well as the previously unbroadcast "Kyogen-shō", "Bokoku Jōcho" and "Rakujitsu".

Promotion

A vast number of music journalists were invited to the Tokyo concert to publish reviews. Concert reports were featured in 13 print magazines and three websites, including Oricon Style, CD Data, What's In and Pia. After the initial broadcast of Tokyo Jihen Live in Nippon Budokan on March 25, Fuji Television rebroadcast the program on April 11 and 23.

title: Boxing at the 2014 Commonwealth Games – Women's lightweight

text:
The Women's lightweight boxing competition at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland took place between July 29 and August 2 at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre. For the first time ever women's boxing will be contested.

Like all Commonwealth boxing events, the competition was a straight single-elimination tournament. Both semifinal losers were awarded bronze medals, so no boxers competed again after their first loss. Bouts consisted of four rounds of two minutes each, with a one-minute break between rounds. Punches scored only if the front of the glove made full contact with the front of the head or torso of the opponent. Three judges scored each bout; the winner of the bout was the boxer who won the most rounds.

title: Bispebjerg Cemetery

text:
Bispebjerg Cemetery (Danish: Bispebjerg Kirkegård), established in 1903 on the moderately graded north slope of Bispebjerg Hill, is the newest of five municipal cemeteries in Copenhagen, Denmark. The main entrance to the cemetery is located next to the monumental Grundtvig's Church, built later in 1921–40. A tall poplar avenue extends from the main entrance towards Utterslev Mose in the west. The old chapel has been converted into a centre for dance and is now known as Dansekapellet (Chapel of Dance). One of the cemetery’s main attractions is an avenue of Japanese cherry trees that, when in bloom during spring, form a long, pink tunnel.

History
Bispebjerg Cemetery was established in 1903 to release the pressure on Copenhagen's other cemeteries. The plan was designed by Edvard Glæsel.

Buildings

Chapel and administration building
The architect Andreas Clemmensen have designed most of the buildings in the cemetery. His contributions include the main entrance, the administration building at Frederiksborgvej 125 (1903), the North Chapel (1910), now used as a storage building, the South Chapel (1912), which in 1931 was rebuilt to designs by architect Tyge Hvass. Clemmensen also designed the East Chapel which was extended by Tyge Hvass in 1930 but demolished in 2001.

Old crematory and personnel building
The old crematory was designed by Holger Jacobsen as the result of an architectural competition. The building was completed in 1907 with inspiration from Roman architecture. and later extended in 1915–16 and 1932–34. The building has now been converted into a venue for modern dance, Dansekapellet.

Holger Jacobsen has also designed a cluster of buildings in the northwestern corner of the cemetery. They date from 1916 and were used for storage purposes and personnel. Tyge Hvass  added a stables building in 1935 and was also responsible for a larger extension of Jacobsen's buildings I 1945.

Crematory
A new crematory was inaugurated on 14 January 2003. The building was designed by Friis & Moltke.

Sections
The old communal burial site features a monument by Holger Jacobsen. The new communal burial site features a sculpture by Knud Nellemose.

The Swedish section was established in 1927 and moved to the current location in Section 5 in 1957. It was designed by Sven-Ingvar Andersson. Other special sections are dedicated to Swedish, Russian, Catholic and Muslim graves. There is also a columbarium with a special room dedicated to Buddhist urns.

World War II
In the southwestern corner of the cemetery is a section dedicated to Danish soldiers, police officers and resistance fighters who died in World War II. The complex was designed by city architect Poul Holsøe and features a monument created by the sculptor Povl Søndergaard. Another monument commemorates the resistance fighters who died at two incidents on 29 August 1943 and 19 September 1944. It was designed by Povl Søndergaard in 1947.

The area also features a group of  graves of British soldiers with traditional British Commonwealth war grave headstones and a Cross of Sacrifice. Many of the interred were crew members of British aircraft that were shot down over Zealand. The British casualties were buried at the site upon orders from the German occupying forces but most of them were transferred to Vestre Cemetery in March 1944.

Section 10 also features 16 graves of Soviet soldiers who died in Denmark during and immediately after the war. A monument designed by the Russian artist Anatolij Dioma was installed in 1990.

Section 8 contains 594 German refugees and 370 German soldiers from March 1944.

Notable people

title: Compagnie Fraissinet

text:
The Compagnie Fraissinet, a Marseilles-based shipping line, played an important role in trade and immigration flows in the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Western Africa and Latin America. The Compagnie Fraissinet added Northern America (New York NY, Providence RI, Chicago IL, Cleveland OH, Detroit MI and Montreal Quebec) to its routes after a merger with the Compagnie Française de Navigation à Vapeur Cyprien Fabre & Cie (Fabre Line). The Compagnie Fraissinet operated for close to 150 years through two World Wars, several revolutions, and the colonization and decolonization periods. The Fraissinet family started divesting from shipping activities in the 60s to concentrate on aviation and media. Fraissinet lowered its flag in 1968, the tanker Alfred-Fraissinet being the last ship of the company. Fabre kept on operating until 1979.

Origin

Compagnie Fraissinet was founded in January 1836 in Marseilles by Marc Fraissinet, the son of a Protestant merchant from Languedoc. Fraissinet's first ship was the Marseillais. In 1837, two new ships were built, Rhône and Hérault. In 1841, Fraissinet bought the company and extended the line to Nice. Initially supported by the French government, Fraissinet's projet of a line to New York and the Gulf of Mexico eventually aborted. In 1846, Fraissinet appointed his son Adolphe as deputy director of the company; the lines were extended to Spain, Gibraltar and Portugal.

The company was renamed Compagnie Marseillaise de Navigation à Vapeur in 1853. Isabelle, the first screw-propelled vessel of the company, inaugurated the next year the first scheduled line between Algeria and Le Havre (Marseilles-Algiers-Spain-Portugal-Le Havre). The short-lived line was suppressed after the collision of Normandie with a Dutch ship in 1857.

In 1860 the company, operating ten vessels, had to face an increased competition on the Italian market. Fraissinet extended his lines to Naples and Levant, increased the capital of the company and purchased six new ships in 1865. The same year, Fraissinet purchased Bazin, the first steamship company founded in Marseilles. One year later, the Fraissinet company had a capital of 9 millions francs and operated 15 steamers. Scheduled lines with Corsica and Leghorn were established in 1868. Asie, heading to India, was the first merchant vessel to sail on the Suez Canal (8 January 1870). In 1870, Fraissinet owned 20 vessels, operating scheduled lines to Bombay, Malta, Port Said, Constantinople, Italy, Corsica and Languedoc. Due to the Franco-Prussian war, the service to India was suppressed, the service to Corsica was postponed and several ships were sold.

Fraissinet resurfaced in 1874 as Nouvelle Société Maritime de Navigation à Vapeur (Compagnie Fraissinet). The company was granted the postal service to Corsica by the French government. In 1878, a line was established between Sète and Genoa, while the existing Levant lines was extended to Palestine and Odessa. On 18 December 1878, the Byzantin sunk off Gallipoli, causing the death of c. 150 of the 250 passengers of the ship. In 1889, Fraissinet was granted the postal service to West Africa and Congo. The Corsican company Morelli (five ships) was taken over by Fraissinet in 1892.

At the end of the 19th century, Fraissinet operated lines to Languedoc, Corsica (postal service), Sardinia, Italy, the French and Italian Rivieras, Constantinople, the Black Sea and the mouth of Danube, Oran, Dakar and Libreville (postal service). On 7 June 1903, Liban collided with L'Insulaire a few miles off the port of Marseilles, causing the death of c. 100. The accident deeply afflicted the town of Marseilles and a violent press campaign broke up against Fraissinet, which lost the postal service to Corsica in 1904. However, Compagnie Française de Navigation et de Construction Navale could not fulfill the contract, which was retroceded to Fraissinet in 1905.

The Fraissinet fleet was decreased to ten ships after the First World War. Balkan (August 1918), Suzette-Fraissinet (May 1918), Marc-Fraissinet (October 1917), Esterel (April 1917), Golo (August 1917) and Italia (May 1917) were sunk by German or Austro-Hungarian U-boats. Alfred Fraissinet reorganized the company, favouring the Corsican and Algerian lines. In 1927, the postal contract to Corsica was extended for 20 years; a new series of modern ships was built: Cap-Corse, Ville-d'Ajaccio, Cyrnos, Île-de-Beauté, Pascal-Paoli.

Fraissinet and Fabre
The marriage of Jean Alfred Fraissinet with Mathilde Cyprien Fabre changed Compagnie Fraissinet's strategy. The Fabre family, originating from La Ciotat, was involved in trade and shipping in the Mediterranean Sea and to the West and East Indies since the 15th century. Cyprien Fabre (1838–96) founded in 1868 the Société Cyprien Fabre et Cie; he bought a few sailing ships for the service of his trade posts in West Africa. Interested in steam navigation, which was still controversial at the time, Fabre purchased in the next ten years one paddle ship and ten screw-propelled ships. The company developed its African line and tramping, as well as a scheduled line to Algeria via Spain. In 1879, an attempt to open a transatlantic line failed but a scheduled line was opened between Marseilles and Liverpool.

In 1881, Fabre founded the Compagnie Française de Navigation à Vapeur Cyprien Fabre & Cie and was elected unanimously President of the Chamber of Commerce of Marseilles. Using the subsidies granted by the new French law on shipping, he bought 12 ships in four years, mostly from English shipyards. In 1885, the company operated 16 steamships to Middle East, Algeria, Brazil and Argentina (specifically, for the transport of Portuguese and Italian emigrants, 1882–1905), New York and New Orleans, West Africa (line extended in 1902 to Lagos, Nigeria). Fabre was also involved in the transport of fishers from Saint-Malo to Newfoundland (1887–1906), of pilgrims to Mecca, and of troops to China and Madagascar. When Fabre died in 1896, the company's fleet represented 10% of the commercial ships regesitered in Marseilles. Internationally, the company was known as the Fabre Line, a 'trademark' that would be painted in white letters on the hull of the liners of the company after the Second World War.

In 1914, Fabre owned 11 ships, including eight liners. Sant'Anna, commissioned for the transport of troops, was torpedoed in 1918 near Bizerte (Tunisia) with 2,000 passengers. The company lost another three vessels, Libia, Provincia and Liberia. At the end of the war, Fabre reorganized its fleet. Suppressed in 1914, the Middle East line was re-established in 1921 as the Marseilles – Genoa – Syria – Egypt – New York line. Agencies were created in several Mediterranean countries in order to promote leisure cruises. Transatlantic cargo-passenger lines were reorganized via Portugal and Italy, while the African lines were extended to Douala (Cameroon) and Pointe-Noire (Congo). Alliances with the other companies in Marseilles were deemed necessary. Fabre first et up joint agencies with Fraissinet. In 1927, the company took a majority stake in Chargeurs Réunis. The company was renamed Compagnie Générale de Navigation à Vapeur Cyprien Fabre & Cie in 1933.

The result of the Fraissinet Fabre merger

In 1930, Fraissinet set up an alliance with Fabre and Chargeurs Réunis for a joint service to western Africa. The lines to the Black Sea, suffering from the Italian competition, was suppressed in 1931 after 50 years of uninterrupted service (including during wartime). In 1931, the Italian government decided a monopoly on the transport of emigrants, which resulted in the suppression of the Fabre line to America. Fabre transferred unused liners to the Messageries Maritimes or reallocated them to the African line. New lines were opened with Fraissinet for the transport of African fruit to France. In 1937, Fraissinet took the control of Fabre, which had abandoned Chargeurs, and set up an alliance with Paquet for a while. This was the only period during which the three big family companies from Marseilles sailed together.

When the Second World War broke out, most activity of Fabre was concentrated in Africa, with a rapid postal line, a commercial line resupplying Morocco and Algeria and shipping back their products to France, and fruit lines with specific ships mostly dedicated to the transport of bananas. In 1941, the company was renamed Compagnie de Navigation Cyprien Fabre & Cie. Some ships were lost during the Second World War, whereas the remaining ones had become obsolete. The Second World War caused a great damage to the Compagnie Fraissinet. One of the few ships left by the Germans to the French merchant navy, MS Général-Bonaparte, was sunk off Corsica by a British submarine on 19 May 1943.

After World War II

After the war transatlantic lines were re-established, serving New York and the Gulf of Mexico, and, from 1950, Canada and the Great Lakes. In 1954 new transatlantic lines were established from Le Havre, Bordeaux and Brest.

In 1955, Fabre completed the merger with Fraissinet by forming the Compagnie de Navigation Fraissinet et Cyprien Fabre, directed by Roland Fraissinet, Cyprien Fabre's grandson. Maintained under the Fabre house flag, the traditional Fabre lines were complemented with lines from the other partners of the new company: a fruit line to West Africa, occasionally to Reunion, Indian and Pacific Ocean; a container line to the US, occasionally to the Great Lakes; a cargo line to the Gulf of Mexico; a line to the Antilles and Guyana (originally a SGTM line); and a line to Morocco (originally a Paquet line). In 1959, they founded Compagnie Ivoirienne de Consignation Maritime and placed two ships under the flag of Côte-d'Ivoire. Fraissinet lowered its flag in 1968, the tanker Alfred-Fraissinet being the last ship of the company. Fabre kept on operating until 1979. In 1970, the company owned 16 ships. The company eventually lowered its flag and sold its last cargo ships, MS Joliette and MS Frontenac, in 1979.

Pola Sieverding (born 1981) is a German photographer and video artist. She works in the field of lens based media.

Education
Sieverding graduated in 2007 with an MFA from the Berlin University of the Arts where she studied under Stan Douglas, Ellen Cantor, Dieter Appelt, Sabeth Buchmann, and Katja Diefenbach. In 2002, she attended the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and in 2005 the Surikov Art Institute in Moscow.

Work
The artist's work questions traditional concepts of gender, culture, and normality; capturing both specific social spaces and the unique people who live in them. Sieverding's work primarily analyses the relationship between her subjects- individuals who range from women in traditional Islamic dress to drag queens, performance actors and the Berlin club scene- to their bodies. In recent years the artist has added to her work the depiction of equally unique architecture which is portrayed as means of being a specific social space. Continuously throughout the artist's work, materiality plays a significant role: be it elements of concrete and glass in Close to Concrete I and II, hair in To The Crowned And Conquering Child or textiles as in the photo series Text I-VI. In cooperation with Orson Sieverding, the artist develops electronic soundscapes for her installations which when projected onto her protagonists transform into urban echoes.

Grants
Sieverding has won an art grant from the Senate of Berlin twice, in 2008 and 2014. In 2011 Sieverding was invited as an artist in residence at the Meet Factory in Prague, the Maumaus in Lisbon, and as a visiting lecturer at the International Art Academy in Ramallah, Palestine where she received an art grant from the Anna Lindh Foundation. Today the artist resides and works in Berlin.

title: My Policeman

text:
My Policeman is a 2012 romance novel written by Bethan Roberts. It is set in Brighton, East Sussex, England, in the 1950s.

Plot summary
The novel is set in Brighton in 1957. Tom Burgess, a policeman, is coming to terms with his sexuality. Marion, a schoolteacher, falls in love with him oblivious to his homosexuality tendencies. Tom explores queer love with Patrick Hazelwood, a museum curator but, because of the social constraints of the era, Tom and Marion get married, even though Tom still has feelings for Patrick. Tom is torn between the safety his marriage to Marion offers him and his attraction to Patrick. When Marion becomes jealous, she exposes Patrick and gets him arrested for indecency. This causes a permanent split in Tom and Patrick's relationship and building tension in Tom and Marion's marriage.

Critical reception
The novel received positive reviews in the press. Writing for The Guardian, Natasha Tripney said the style was "fluid and tender". In The Independent, Richard Canning wrote a positive review, suggesting the novel had "a strong period feel and a sprightly structure." Moreover, he added that the "euphemistic references to homosexuality and rich period slang" were congruous.

Film adaptation

In February 2021, it was reported that a film adaptation of the novel was in the works, directed by Michael Grandage and starring Emma Corrin as Marion, David Dawson as Patrick Hazelwood, and Harry Styles as Tom Burgess with shooting to begin in April of that year. It was later reported the film would also featured Gina McKee as an older Marion, Rupert Everett as an older Patrick Hazelwood, and Linus Roache as an older Tom Burgess with the film starting with the arrival of Patrick to Marion and Tom's home during the late 1990s, triggering an exploration of the events from 40 years ago in the 1950s.

My Policeman had its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival and was screened at the Adelaide Film Festival before a limited theatrical release in the United States and a streaming release on 4 November 2022 by Amazon Prime Video. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Dawson's performance but criticised the direction and the screenplay. The main cast members were announced as the collective winners of an acting award at TIFF's Tribute Awards, the first time that an award in that category was ever presented to an ensemble cast rather than an individual.

title: Hotel Acropolis

text:
Hotel Acropolis is a 1929 novel by the French writer Pierre Drieu La Rochelle. The French title is Une femme à sa fenêtre, which means "a woman at her window". The narrative is set in Athens and revolves the love affair between the wife of a French diplomat and a young communist leader who is sought by the police for a terrorist attack he has committed.

Drieu was himself a communist at the time he wrote the novel, but the communist character is portrayed as a man who seeks adventure and action rather than a Marxist hero. This kind of character, the political adventure seeker, here appears for the first time in the author's oeuvre, and would be used several times in his subsequent works.

The novel first appeared in the left-wing weekly La Voix in 1929 and was published as a book by Éditions Gallimard the same year. An English translation by Patrick Kirwan was published in 1931. The book was adapted into the 1976 film A Woman at Her Window directed by Pierre Granier-Deferre.

title: Peter Wilson (auctioneer)

text:
Peter Cecil Wilson  (8 March 1913 – 3 June 1984) was an English auctioneer and chairman of Sotheby's.

Wilson's father was Sir Mathew Wilson, 4th Baronet of Eshton Hall, Gargrave, Yorkshire. He was educated at Eton College and at New College, Oxford. He married Helen Ballard in 1935 who he had met in Hamburg. They had two sons and she became a noted horticulturist after he became attracted to men. The marriage was dissolved in 1951 and they remained on good terms.

He worked for British Intelligence during World War II, in London and Washington DC. He thought about taking this up as a career but decided to return to "Sotherbys" after the war.

He appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 26 September 1966.

He was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1970, and was made honorary life president of Sotheby's in 1980, when he stood down as chairman. Wilson owned Garden Lodge at Logan Place in London's Kensington district for several years.

He died in Paris in 1984, after being in a coma for a week. He was 71.

Wilson is mentioned in the Ian Fleming story "The Property of a Lady", commissioned by Sotheby's for use in their annual journal, The Ivory Hammer, and which was adapted as the auction sequence in the film Octopussy.

title: St Peter's Church, Parr

text:
St Peter's Church, Parr, is in Broad Oak Road, Parr, St Helens, Merseyside, England.  It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of St Helens, the archdeaconry of Warrington and the diocese of Liverpool.  Its benefice is combined with those of three local churches to form the Parr Team Ministry. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.

History

St Peter's replaced an earlier church nearby that was burnt down in 1860. It was designed by J. Medland Taylor, and built in 1864–65. The church cost £2,600.

Architecture

Exterior
The walls of the church are built in a mixture of red and yellow sandstone and industrial waste in the form of copper slag, and the roofs are slated. Its plan consists of a nave, north and south aisles under catslide roofs, a double south transept, a chancel with a canted east end, a south vestry and a north organ loft (both under catslide roofs), and a tower with a broach spire at the southwest corner.  The tower has a south entrance with a pointed tympanum containing a quatrefoil and crossed keys.  It has corner buttresses, lancet windows, and paired bell openings.  At the top are squat pyramidal pinnacles, and a broach spire surmounted by a weathervane.  The window at the west end of the church has two lights and contains plate tracery.  Along the wall of the south aisle are triple lancets with roundels above.  On the north side the windows are either triple lancets, or double lancets with roundels.  The transept is in two bays, each containing a triple lancet over which is a rose window.  In the chancel are three windows, each of two lights containing plate tracery.

Interior
Inside the church are six-bay arcades on round columns, and the chancel arch is carried on round corbels.  The font is circular on a circular base, and the pulpit is also circular.  The chancel screen is in timber, and dates from about 1920. In the transept is a wall memorial to Revd Abraham Augustus Nunn, the first incumbent of the church, who died in 1889. The two-manual pipe organ was designed by Henry Willis; the date of its installation is unknown.

Appraisal

The church was designated as a Grade II listed building on 23 August 1985. This grade is the lowest of the three gradings given to listed buildings and is applied to "buildings of national importance and special interest". Pollard and Pevsner in the Buildings of England series note that this was an early church design by J. Medland Taylor, and that it is "by no means his best".

title: Feudal barony of Trematon

text:
The Feudal barony of Trematon (or Honour of Trematon) was one of the three feudal baronies in Cornwall which existed during the mediaeval era. Its caput was at Trematon Castle, Cornwall. In 1166 it comprised 60 knight's fees, thus about 60 separate manors.

Descent

de Vautort

The barony of Trematon was unusual in that unlike most other English feudal baronies it was not held from the king in-chief but from the descendants of Robert, Count of Mortain, half-brother of King William the Conqueror. It was held for several generations by the de Vautort family, Latinized as de Valletorta, which was once thought to come from Vautorte in Maine, but has since been shown to originate in Torteval in Normandy. The descent of the barony was as follows:
Godfrey de Vautort, held the Honour of Trematon from the Count of Mortain in 1184.
Reginald I de Vautort (died about 1123), was by 1086 a major tenant of Robert, Count of Mortain, with 57 manors centred on the castle and market of Trematon.
Roger I de Vautort (died about 1163), his son and heir, married Emma.
Ralph I de Vautort (died before 1173), his son and heir, who in 1166 according to the Cartae Baronum held 59 knight's fees from the earl of Cornwall, and one knight's fee in-chief.
Roger II de Vautort (died 1206), his son and heir.
Reginald II de Vautort (died 1245), his son and heir, married Joan, daughter of Thomas Basset of Headington.
Ralph II de Vautort (died 1257), his brother, married Joan, daughter of Reginald de Dunstanville, Earl of Cornwall.
Reginald III de Vautort (died 1269), his son and heir, died young without children.
Roger III de Vautort (died 1274), his uncle, after disposing of most of the family's holdings and leaving vast debts, died childless.

What was left of the estates eventually found its way to the descendants of two daughters of Ralph I de Vautort. A younger son of Reginald I de Vautort was Joel de Vautort, whose descendants held lands in Somerset centred on the manor of Currypool in Spaxton until about 1332.

title: James Dinwiddie (surgeon)

text:
Captain James Cuthbert 'Cuddy' Dinwiddie, known also as "Doctor Dinwiddie," was a Confederate military surgeon who inadvertently advanced the treatment against microorganisms and infections during his service as a battlefield surgeon during the American Civil War.

During this period, the army doctors on both sides were greatly handicapped as microorganisms weren't well understood and the germ theory of disease and antibiotics were still a few years away. Many soldiers died from infections that modern medicine would now be able to easily treat.

Angel's Glow
Captain Dinwiddie had witnessed the carnage of the Battle of Shiloh and was greatly interested by the increased survival on those wounded soldiers that exhibited "Angels Glow". Angels Glow was caused by the then unknown bioluminescent bacteria Photorhabdus luminescens. It has been reported that infection by this bacterium of the wounds of soldiers in the Civil War caused the wounds to glow, and that this aided the survival of the soldiers due to the production of antibiotics by P. luminescens. This led to the phenomenon's nickname "Angel's Glow."

Effective method despite flawed model
After his observations of the unexplained impact of angels glow, Dinwiddie's erroneous conclusion was that mortification (now called gangrene or necrosis) was caused by "dark humors" or "bad air" (miasma theory) that had contacted his surgical instruments, clothing and bedding, and moreover, these dark humors could be eradicated by heat and noise.  Based on his flawed idea Dr. Dinwiddie began a daily practice of placing his surgical bedding and instruments into a large pot of boiling pine tea. When the steam (in his mind the 'dark humors' or 'bad air') came to the surface, he would ring a cow bell to frighten them away. Dr. Dinwiddie's infection rates plummeted.

While his model of induced bacterial necrosis was flawed, his practice greatly reduced mortality amongst his patients, as boiling the tools and bedsheets served to kill germs, functioning as a basic form of sterilization.

A former Chairman of  Sharks Football Club (of Port Harcourt), Adokiye has the stadium in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State named after him. He is also a former Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice in Rivers State, having served previously as Director of Public Prosecution in the state.

The 2009 Age-grade Controversy

In 2009, Adokiye, a columnist with The Punch newspaper (a Nigerian daily) was embroiled in controversy following his claim in his weekly column that some members of the Nigerian Under-17 football team were a lot older than their "official ages". The  football authorities in Nigeria did not, however, follow up on this claim.
