title: St. Mikael's Chapel

text:
St. Michael's Chapel () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Oppdal municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the Drivdalen valley, just south of the village of Holan, about  south of the village of Oppdal. It is a small annex chapel in the Oppdal parish which is part of the Gauldal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The small wooden chapel was built in a long church style in 2012 using plans drawn up by the architect Yngvild Wathne Sæther. The church seats about 50 people, but it is sometimes used as the backdrop for outdoor services.

History
The building was planned by the Tourism Drivdalen working group, the result of some planning for the future that was organized in the winter of 2010. The idea of a church with a connection to The Pilegrims Path over the Dovrefjell Mountains, comes from the fact that during the middle ages there was a church called Loskirka (The Church of Loe) in the Drivdalen valley, located at one of the farms in Losgrenda. The parish priest, Arne Aspeland, contributed to the work in designing the chapel interior.  The church has no graveyard.

The chapel was built on a voluntary basis with financial support from a number of local companies including Holtermann's Endowment managed by the Oppdal church council (the endowment ended in 2012). The building was consecrated on Michaelmas, 29 September 2012, with the parish priest Arne Aspeland, Bishop Tor Singsaas, Dean Øystein Flø, and Pastor Øyvind Vognild present at the ceremony. Aspeland had the honor of leading the first Mass that was held in conjunction with the consecration. The chapel got a church bell during the summer of 2013 and it was used first time 19 July the same year.

Hermann Duft and Hans Wilhelm Bassenauer were a pair of German serial killers who murdered six people in Greece, within a short period in 1969. They were captured, tried, sentenced to death and executed by the Greek authorities.

Background
Duft was born in Harheim near Frankfurt and Bassenauer in Darmstadt, Germany, both in 1938. They were both plumbers. Duft was single, while Bassenauer was married, with three children. Duft had briefly served in the Foreign Legion during the war in Algeria.

Crimes
Duft and Bassenauer arrived in Greece by car on 17 February 1969.  Within the next few weeks, posing as tourists, they murdered six people, using a Winchester rifle and a knife. The reason for most of their murders was robbery. On the 5 March, they killed the night watchmen of a gas station near Thebes, a soldier who was present and heavily injured another one. On 13 March, they murdered a Greek-American stockbroker in Voula, on 7 April a taxi driver and on 9 April a gas station attendant near Athens. Finally, on 12 April, they murdered, on the road from Athens to Patras a Greek who was living in Germany and vacationing in his homeland. They abandoned their car and took the victim's to return to Athens.

The dictatorial regime in Greece at the time forbade newspapers from publishing news about this series of murders, until the two perpetrators were captured.

Capture
The police were alerted, on the 16 April, by a man who saw "small specks of blood" on a car with German license plates parked outside his house, which was, in fact, the car of the pair's last victim. Duft and Bassenauer were apprehended when they showed up to pick up the car, questioned and then arrested by the police. They confessed to their crimes and put to trial, accused of murder, robbery, and related charges.

Trial and punishment
The trial of Duft and Bassenauer was held shortly thereafter at the Appeals Court. They were found guilty and sentenced to death for each one of the murders. Their appeal was rejected by the Areopagus Supreme Court, as was their request to the Council of Pardons to reduce their sentence to life imprisonment. They were executed by firing squad on 15 December 1969, Bassenauer in Corfu and Duft in Aegina, in whose prisons they were respectively being held.

Bassenauer's widow subsequently stated, "my husband got a just punishment," but objected to the execution taking place near Christmas time. An article in a German magazine observed that "once again, Germans are being executed in Greece for murder."

title: David Charles (public servant)

text:
Doctor David Charles is a former senior Australian public servant and policymaker. He is best known for his time as Secretary of the Department of Industry, Technology and Commerce. He is currently a consultant at Insight Economics Pty Ltd.

Life and career
David Charles was born in the 1940s. He was educated at Monash University, graduating from a bachelor of economics degree with first class honours. He went on to gain his doctorate in economics from London University.

He joined the Australian Public Service in the Tariff Board in 1972. Between 1973 and 1979 he worked in protection policy in various departments including the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, the Department of the Special Minister of State and the Department of Business and Consumer Affairs. In July 1979 he became head of the communications division in the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. In 1982 he joined the Department of Industrial Relations as a deputy secretary.

From March 1985, he was Secretary of the Department of Industry, Technology and Commerce. He left his post on 1 July 1990 to take up appointment as Consul-General in Berlin. At the time he left the department, he sparked controversy when he publicly criticised the economic policy of the Government of the day. Prime Minister Bob Hawke told media that if public servants were allowed to make public criticism of policy, the Government's position would become "untenable".
Hawke issued a press release at the time to reprimand Charles, stating that he had seriously considered revoking Charles' appointment as Consul-General in Berlin. The Canberra Times offered a different opinion to Hawke, stating "it would be unfortunate if this episode had the effect of making senior public servants reluctant to give interviews in their areas of expertise."

Charles left the public service after returning from Berlin, co-founding the Allen Consulting Group in Melbourne.

Charles is currently a director at Insight Economics Pty Ltd.

title: Charlotte Lembach

text:
Charlotte Lembach (born 1 April 1988) is a French right-handed sabre fencer, 2018 team world champion, two-time Olympian, and 2021 team Olympic silver medalist.

Lembach competed in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games and the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Career
Lembach was first called into the French national team for the 2009 European Championships in Plovdiv, but a hamstring injury prevented her from attending the competition. She was selected again for the 2012 European Championships in Kiev, but did not manage to earn a qualification for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

After the Games, three members of the French team retired, leaving Lembach as team elder: at the age of 24 she acquired the nickname “Mamie” (“Granny”). The 2012–13 season saw her breakthrough: at Tianjin she climbed on the podium of a World Cup event, which no other French sportswomen had accomplished in two years and a half. She however failed to earn a medal in the 2013 European Championships and the 2013 World Championships.

In the 2013–14 season Jean-Philippe Daurelle replaced Cyril Tahon as coach of the French women's sabre team, which Lembach described as “a breath of fresh air”. Under his coaching Lembach won a silver medal in the Dakar World Cup and climbed on the podium in Chicago and Beijing. In the European Championships held in her native Strasbourg, Lembach defeated teammate Cécilia Berder, but failed in the second round against No.1 seed Vassiliki Vougiouka and finished 13th. In the team event, France defeated Germany, but were overcome in the semi-finals by reigning champions Russia. They prevailed over Poland to come away with a bronze medal. In the World Championships at Kazan, she fell in the second round again, this time at the hands of Małgorzata Kozaczuk of Poland. In the team event France defeated Hungary, then created an upset by beating Russia in the quarter-finals and Italy in the semi-finals. Their winning streak was snapped in the final by the United States led by twice-Olympic champion Mariel Zagunis and France came away with a silver medal.

Lembach is a student at EDHEC Business School.

title: Henri Joseph Thomas

text:
Henri Joseph Thomas (1878-1972) was a Belgian genre, portrait and still life painter, sculptor and etcher from the Belgian School, Brussels, Belgium.

Biography

Henri Joseph Thomas was born in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek in June 1878. He studied at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels from 1895 until 1898 and started a studio in Brussels afterwards, where he mainly worked as an illustrator of avant-garde books. He also specialized in marine paintings, floral still life paintings and portraits of elegant ladies. He eventually started his career with the presentation of a Vénus de bar at the Godecharle contest in 1909. His expositions in the Belle Époque include those at the Cercle Artistique et Littéraire in Brussels in 1906, 1909 and 1921, and in the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1906, 1907, 1908 and 1910. Thomas was a member of the Labeur society for fine artists that organised annual expositions for its members in the Museum of Modern Arts (Musée Moderne) in Brussels between 1898 and 1907. His painting The Star (l'Etoile) was exposed in the Museum of Ixelles and at the Triennale of Liege in Belgium, 1928.

He often depicted night life scenes in bars and portraits of ladies, with suggestions of decadence, temptation, adultery and prostitution in the poses of his women. His paintings and etchings of elegant women date mainly from the Belle Époque and interbellum. In his painting of luscious women he was a follower of the Belgian painter and etcher Félicien Rops.

Henri Thomas illustrated several books with his drawings and etchings. This already started just after he ended his training when in 1898 he contributed 40 illustrations to the gay-erotic book L'Homme-sirène by Louis Didier who worked under the pseudonym Luis d'Herdy. In 1909 La muse (the muse) was published in a Au claire de la dune, a collection of poems by the Belgian poet Théo Hannon. He later illustrated a collection of erotic poems, La toison de Phryné published in 1913 by Théodore Hannon, with 11 engravings, of which two were in colour. He also illustrated Du coeur aux lèvres by Lucien Solvay and Les Diaboliques (the She-devils) by Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly Some of his engravings also appeared in the fourth (1926-1927) and eight (Volupté, 1935) series of La Gravure Originale Belge (Original Belgian Engravings). This series consisted of 11 paper portfolios of about ten original engravings signed by the artist that were published for subscribers in limited editions by the Comité de La Gravure Originale Belge between 1924 and 1939.

Henri Thomas lived in Brussels at Rue Hydraulique 44 around 1907 and moved to Rue du Berceau 28, where he lived during the interbellum. He died in Brussels on 22 November 1972.

title: Melanie Hawtin

text:
Melanie Hawtin (born July 20, 1988) is a Canadian 1.5 point wheelchair basketball player. As a T54 class wheelchair racer, she was the Canadian national champion in the 100 m in 2008, and the 400 m and 1500 m events in 2009. She was Ontario Wheelchair Sports Association's Junior Female Athlete of the Year four times, and its Female Athlete of the Year twice. After switching to wheelchair basketball in 2012, she won a gold medal at the 2014 Women's World Wheelchair Basketball Championship in Toronto.

Early life
Melanie Hawtin was born in Hamilton, Ontario. She has spina bifida, and began wheelchair racing when she was five years old. By age ten, she was participating in national championships, and she won two bronze medals in 2001 in the T54 class.

Awards and honors
She was Ontario Wheelchair Sports Association's Junior Female Athlete of the Year in 1999, 2002, 2003, and 2004, and its Female Athlete of the Year in 2005 and 2007. She was the national champion in the 100 m in 2008, and the 400 m and 1500 m events in 2009.

Surgery
Then, in April 2012, she was told that she would need surgery for hydrocephalus. A buildup of fluid in her head was putting pressure on her brain. The surgery was successful, but left her unable to bend over, and therefore participate in her sport, for a long time. Offered a facial tissue, she said that she would need a whole box.

Comeback in 2013
However, wheelchair basketball is played in an upright posture. Hawtin joined the Burlington Vipers, and played for Team Ontario in the CWBL Women's National Championships in 2013 and 2014. She was selected for the national team at its training camp in Las Vegas in January 2014, something she had never achieved as a wheelchair racer. She was part of the team that won a gold medal at the 2014 Women's World Wheelchair Basketball Championship in Toronto in July 2014, and silver at the 2015 Parapan American Games in August 2015.

title: Woodhead Hall

text:
Woodhead Hall is a country house at Cheadle in Staffordshire. It is a Grade II listed building.

History
Woodhead Hall was originally commissioned by a Mr Leigh and completed in 1720. It was acquired by William Allen, a merchant, in the 1840s and completely rebuilt by William Shepherd Allen to the designs of William Sugden in 1873. It remained in the Allen family, passing to William Allen in 1915, until it became a preparatory school in 1925. At the start of the Second World War it became RAF Cheadle and, as a Y-station, started monitoring important enemy signals information. The main task was to intercept messages from German bombers and ground stations.

The hall continued as a monitoring station during the Cold War, with operations transferring to become part of Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in January 1964 when all ministries' civilian interception sites came under its control. GCHQ Cheadle continued to monitor Soviet communications. The station closed in 1995 and the property was sold into private ownership in 1997.
