|founder = Blue Circle Industries}}East African Portland Cement Company commonly known by its abbreviation EAPCC, is a Kenyan based construction company specializing in the manufacturing and selling of cement and cement related products.

Overview
EAPCC's headquarters are located in Athi River, a small town about 30 km from Nairobi, Kenya's capital city. The company has operations in Kenya and Uganda.

History
East African Portland Cement Company started as a trading company importing cement mainly from England for early construction work in British East Africa (now Kenya) as an agent of Blue Circle Industries of the United Kingdom. The name Portland was given due to the resemblance in colour of set cement to the Portland stone that was mined on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England.

In February 1933, the Company was incorporated in Kenya with the first factory in Nairobi's Industrial Area. The Company had one cement mill and used imported clinker from India for cement manufacturing. The production capacity was about 60,000 tonnes of cement at the time.

In December 1956, construction of the Athi River facility started. The factory was commissioned in 1958 and consisted of a rotary kiln, a big cement mill which significantly increased production capacity to 120,000 tonnes per annum.

Over the years, EAPCC greatly expanded its production capacity. The Company can presently produce over 1.3 million tonnes of cement per annum at reduced cost especially with the June 2014 announcement of the construction of a four megawatt power plant would run on waste gases generated by the company factory at a cost of KSh800 million. This plant would lower the annual cost of running the Athi River factory by KSh500 million.

Subsidiaries and Investments
The companies that comprise East Africa Portland Cement include, but are not limited, to the following:

 East African Portland Cement Limited – Athi River, Kenya - 100% Shareholding - The flagship company of the group. This unit engages in the production of cement.
 East African Portland Cement Uganda Limited  – Kampala, Uganda - 100% Shareholding - The principal activity of the Company is the sale of cement purchased from the parent company. It contributed to 1.24% of the group's revenue in the year ended 30 June 2012.

Ownership
The shares of East African Portland Cement are traded on the Nairobi Securities Exchange, under the symbol: PORT'''. The shareholding in the company's stock as at 31 July 2014 was as depicted in the table below:

Board Room Wars
Cementia Holdings, Associated International Cement and Bamburi Cement are all direct or indirect subsidiaries of Lafarge SA. Giving Lafarge 41.7% of EAPCC. While the Government of Kenya claims to controls NSSF's stake, giving the Government 52.3% control of the firm.

This ownership structure has led to boardroom wars on who controls the company. The government has challenged Lafarge's shareholding in EAPCC due to the fact that Lafarge owns 41.7 per cent of East African Portland Cement Company and a further 58.9 per cent of Bamburi Cement; two of three largest producers of the building material in Kenya. Government accuses the firm of violation of antitrust legislation. Lafarge on their part started that they are a financial investor in EAPCC and they do not exert any operational leverage on the EAPCC Board.

The Kenyan courts ruled that EAPCC does not qualify to be a government Parastatal because NSSF shares do not belong to the State but to contributors. This means that the government of Kenya cannot control, hire or fire its management. The ruling also stopped attempts by the government to make Lafarge dilute its stake in EAPCC.
These board room wrangles negatively impacted the EAPCC's share price and market share.

Governance
East African Portland Cement Company is governed by a seven-person Board of Directors with Edwin Muriithi Kinyua serving as the Chairman.

title: William Hale House

text:
The William Hale House is a historic house at 5 Hale Street in Dover, New Hampshire.  Built in 1806, it is one of the few early houses in southeastern New Hampshire for which the architect is known with certainty.  It is also the only definitively known work of that architect, Bradbury Johnson, who had a reputation for craftsmanship across the state's Seacoast Region.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.  It presently serves as the parish house for the adjacent St. Thomas Episcopal Church.

Description and history
The William Hale House is located on the south side of Hale Street, opposite Dover City Hall and just east of St. Thomas Episcopal Church.  It is a three-story wood-frame structure set close to the street, five bays wide, whose third floor windows are smaller than those on the lower floors.  The center entry is sheltered by a modest portico supported by Doric columns and matching pilasters.  At the back of the house is a modern parish hall, which physically connects the house to the adjacent church.

The house was built in 1806 for William Hale by Bradbury Johnson, a noted local builder-designer of the period.    William Hale was a successful merchant, and this house was one of the finest of the Federal era in Dover.  The house was originally located nearer the center, on the  site where Dover City Hall now stands, overlooking the waterfront where Hale owned a wharf.  In 1890 it was moved to its present location after the city took the land by eminent domain.  The property was purchased by the church from Hale's descendants in 1901.

title: James Fitton (artist)

text:
James Fitton R.A. (11 February 1899 – 2 May 1982) was an English painter, lithographer and theatre set designer, and a founder member of the left-wing Artists' International Association.

Early life
Fitton was born in Oldham, Lancashire, England, on 11 February 1899. He was the third and youngest child of working-class Methodist parents who lived in a typical two-up two-down terraced house in Herbert Street, Oldham. The city was in its heyday, and was well known as the centre of the world's cotton-spinning industry.  Consequently, the local landscape was dominated by mill buildings such as the Ruby Mill which backed onto the family home, and Watersheddings Mill, where Fitton's mother worked as a weaver.

The family circumstances were harsh and James Fitton senior began his working life aged seven cleaning mill machinery. One day whilst clearing detritus from underneath the looms, they were turned on and he became caught in the equipment.  He survived the accident but lost an ear, and continued to work, becoming a mill engineer.  Fitton's mother was a similarly resilient character and was operating six looms on her usual eleven-hour shift just three days before giving birth to James.  She resumed her exhausting schedule a few days later.

The plight of the working-class mill-workers in Oldham - working long hours and living cheek-by-jowl in cramped dwellings - left Fitton's father with a sense of injustice.  He became actively interested in politics and played a prominent role in the Labour movement in the North-West, for which he paid dearly.  Employed at the Asa Lees Textile Machine Manufacturers as a foreman in the iron planning shop, he helped to establish the United Machine Workers Union, of which he was Branch Secretary. Identified as the ringleader of a strike, he was immediately sacked.  Subsequently, Fitton's father could only find employment using an alias and was forced to work far from home. He was trapped in a permanent night shift at the National Gas Engine Company in Ashton-under-Lyne and spent his free time arranging Fabian gatherings.  Socialist propaganda poured forth from the family home and Keir Hardie, Emmeline Pankhurst, Annie Kenney and others were amongst those attracted to the meetings, sometimes staying overnight.

Career

Fitton's passion for drawing developed when he was hospitalised aged eight after a botched mastoid operation, performed on the kitchen table. In a letter home to his parents he wrote “Be sure and bring my paints and paper and my bag of boiled sweets or I shall be vexed”.  Although the infection was stymied, Fitton was rendered permanently deaf in one ear and endured weekly trips to hospital over a two-year period, with long spells in waiting rooms where he observed and studied his surroundings.  In an introduction to the Dulwich Picture Gallery catalogue, John Sheeran suggested that Fitton's keen visual awareness may have been heightened by the damage to one of his senses.

Fitton was educated at the Watersheddings Board School, but his health problems adversely affected his academic performance and he left school aged fourteen, prompting his headmaster to remark: “He won’t be good at anything – that is except drawing”.  He subsequently attended evening classes at Manchester School of Art under Adolfe Vallette. His fellow pupils included L. S. Lowry and Sam Rabin.

In 1920 Fitton moved to London where he attended evening classes at the Central School of Arts and Crafts and was tutored by Archibald Standish Hartrick. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1929 and from 1932, Fitton was an active member of the London Group. His first solo exhibition was held at the Arthur Tooth and Sons gallery in 1933. Fitton worked in a wide variety of formats, producing cartoons for the Left Review and posters for the Ministry of Food. He worked as a printer and advertising artist, and in 1937 designed posters for London Transport, commissioned by Frank Pick. In the late forties he executed cinema posters and programmes for the Ealing Studios and Romulus Films.

Fitton appeared as a castaway on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 9 January 1971.

Legacy
Fitton's work is in the permanent collections of Tate, the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum in Coventry, and Newport Museum and Art Gallery. A portrait of his wife, Margaret Fitton nee Cook, whom he married in 1928, is in the Nottingham City Museums and Galleries collection. Four photographic portraits of him, by various photographers,  are in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.

Exhibitions of his work were held at Gallery Oldham in 1983 and at Dulwich Picture Gallery in 1986.

title: Alicia Oshlack

text:
Alicia Yinema Kate Nungarai Oshlack  is an Australian bioinformatician and is Co-Head of Computational Biology at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. She is best known for her work developing methods for the analysis of transcriptome data as a measure of gene expression. She has characterized the role of gene expression in human evolution by comparisons of humans, chimpanzees, orangutans, and rhesus macaques, and works collaboratively in data analysis to improve the use of clinical sequencing of RNA samples by RNAseq for human disease diagnosis.

Early life and education
Alicia Oshlack was born in Roleystone, Perth in 1975. She graduated dux from Warrnambool College Victoria, Australia in 1993. She completed a Bachelor of Science (Hons) (1994–98) from the University of Melbourne, majoring in physics. She remained at the University of Melbourne to complete a PhD in astrophysics, which she completed on the topic of the central structure of radio quasars (1999-2003).

Career
Oshlack made a career transition to apply her mathematics to genetics after moving to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, where she worked as a research officer (2003–07) and then senior research officer (2007–11) in the Bioinformatics Division. Oshlack moved to the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Melbourne in 2011 to take up the post of Head of Bioinformatics.
She was appointment as the co-chair of the Genomics and Bioinformatics advisory group for The Melbourne Genomics Health Alliance in 2013. She was also on the organising committee of Beyond the Genome in 2013. In 2019 Oshlack was appointed co-Head of Computational Biology at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. She was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences in 2021. In 2022 she was nominated and highly commended in the Research Australia Frontiers Award.

Research

Gene expression analysis
Oshlack's research has focused on methods for the analysis of genome expression, notably computational and statistical analysis of transcriptome data. This includes work on background correction methods for two-colour microarrays, normalisation of microarray data, comparative analysis of RNAseq data and normalisation of methylation patterns in human DNA beadchip data.

Human evolution
Oshlack's methodology has enabled gene expression levels between humans and other primates to be analysed in an unbiased manner. Her work comparing gene expression levels from liver tissues of five individuals from four different primate species: humans, chimpanzees, orangutans, and rhesus macaques, identified the rapid evolution of transcription factors in humans. Further related work looked at the expression level changes for these factor across multiple human tissues. For this work Alicia Oshlack was awarded the Ruth Gani Medal for Human Genetics from the Australian Academy of Science in 2011.

Clinical gene expression analysis
Oshlack has developed a software pipeline for performing clinical grade analysis of DNA sequencing data for diagnostic purposes. These tools are currently being used for the analysis of sequencing data in the diagnosis of cardiomyopathies at the Victorian Clinical Genetics Service. She has also developed tools for the analysis of tumour data, specifically detecting mutations caused by rearrangement of the tumour genome resulting in oncogenic fusion genes.

Personal life
Oshlack's views on work life balance in science and communicating what bioinformaticians do to a general audience at parties have been published.

title: African People's Bloc

text:
The African People's Bloc (, BPA) was a political party in French Dahomey.

History
The party was established in 1946 by Justin Ahomadégbé-Tomêtin and Émile Poisson due to their dissatisfaction with the policies of the Dahomeyan Progressive Union (UPD). In the 1946–47 General Council elections the party won 6 of the 30 seats, finishing second to the Dahomeyan Progressive Union; Ahomadégbé-Tomêtin and Poisson were both elected. The party failed to win a seat in the French National Assembly in the 1951 elections, but won four seats in the 1952 Territorial Assembly elections.

In 1955 the party merged with the UPD to form the Dahomeyan Democratic Union.

title: Diary ng Panget (film)

text:
Diary ng Panget () (also known as Diary ng Panget: The Movie) is a 2014 Filipino romantic comedy film based on the best-selling novel of the same name written and published on Wattpad by Denny R. The film was directed by Andoy Ranay and stars Nadine Lustre, James Reid, Yassi Pressman, and Andre Paras. It was distributed by Viva Films and released on April 2, 2014, in theaters nationwide.

Though well-received by fans, it was heavily panned by most critics, claiming that the story and the cast had a lack of formula and effort, and called the story a cliché. Despite the poor critical reception, the film was a box office success, earning an estimated total of ₱120 million during its theatrical run.

Plot
Eya is a kind-hearted girl who has faced several difficulties in life. Orphaned at the age of 14, her aunt adopts her but kicks her out as soon as she turns 18. Unable to make ends meet, she gets a new job as a personal maid only to realize she has to look after Cross, an egoistic young man who she calls the "monster". Cross, having lost his mother at a young age, has grown resentful towards everybody around him. But regardless of their differences, they start developing feelings for each other. Eya does not realize this and starts developing a crush on her best friend Chad, but later lets go of him since he likes her friend Lory. However, Lory has had a crush on Cross since when they were in kindergarten and feels betrayed when Eya starts spending more time with Cross. Chad comforts Lory and expresses his love, which makes her think about exploring other options. Lory makes up with Eya and they decide to go to the school masquerade ball together. Eya gets to dance with a handsome young man who she thinks is her "prince charming", but she fails to recognize him with his mask on. The next day, Eya and her friends help her in finding her prince by measuring the height, voice, and foot size of all the guys in school but fails miserably.

At the end of the day, Eya gets a call from a man telling her to meet him since he has something to discuss with her. When she meets this man, he claims to be her "prince charming". Cross interrupts them claiming that the man is lying, and the man explains that he was sent by someone in order to provoke the real "prince charming". When Eya confronts Cross about this he comes clean about being her "prince", he also confesses that he likes her, and also explains that she couldn't recognize his voice since he had a cold the day of the ball. Eya then accepts the fact that she likes him too, and agrees to be his girlfriend.

Reception

Critical response
Diary ng Panget received mixed to negative reviews from critics.

Zig Marasigan of Rappler states that Diary ng Panget provides very little insight on the modern-day troubles of a young adult. "It succeeds in bringing together a particularly charming cast with relative newcomer Nadine Lustre leading the charge. Director Andoy Ranay does well to draw an entertaining amount of chemistry between his 4 actors, but unfortunately fails to keep the story, as well as its characters, from breaking out."

Philbert Ortiz-Dy of Click the City gave a negative review in the film, stating that "[t]he simplicity of the story is further undermined by the confusing direction. The film seems to struggle with staging a lot of scenes, the punchlines lost in the odd rhythms of the filmmaking." He also stated that "[t]he direction really fails the cast of young actors, who are acting their hearts out [...] Diary ng Panget is squandered by the subpar direction. The looseness of the narrative might have even been an asset if the direction was more inclined to make bolder or more well thought-out choices about how it presented the story."

Box office
According to the film's distributor, the film gathered PHP 12—15 million on its first day of showing. The film grossed PHP 61,324,157 on its first five days of showing according to Box Office Mojo. The movie ran for 5 weeks and by the final week of run, Box Office Mojo reported a total gross of PHP 119,534,657  (or estimated PHP 120 million) as the final box office result of the film, receiving the 9th place in the top ten highest grossing Filipino films of 2014.

title: Richard Hayes House

text:
The Richard Hayes House is a historic house at 326 Gonic Road (New Hampshire Route 125) in southern Rochester, New Hampshire.  Built in 1787, it is a rare surviving Federal period house in the city.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

Description and history
The Richard Hayes House stands in a semi-rural setting in southern Rochester, on the east side of Gonic Road just north of its junction with Colonial Drive.  It is an L-shaped wood-frame structure, two stories tall, which presents two public facades, apparently part of its original design.  Its appearance is of two wings, each five bays wide, that are joined at a right angle.  Each wing has a gable roof with the ridge parallel to its facade, giving the house roof a half-hipped appearance.  The house is a rare well-preserved vernacular Federal style structure in Rochester.

The house was built in 1787 by Richard Hayes, a native of Madbury.  The house's design is unusual because houses of this type are usually built in two stages, while in this one it is clear from its construction that the design is original.  It is similar to that of the original homestead in Madbury where Hayes grew up.  The house was built on  of land given to Richard by his father Daniel, a prominent landowner and politician.  The house remained in the Hayes family until 1881.

title: ASV Hollfeld

text:
The ASV Hollfeld is a German association football club from the town of Hollfeld, Bavaria.

The club's greatest success came in 2012 when it qualified for the new northern division of the expanded Bayernliga, the fifth tier of the German football league system, where it played for two seasons until 2014.

History
For most of its history the club has been a non-descript amateur side in local Bavarian football, on occasion rising as far as the Bezirksliga. The club was originally formed as the gymnastics club TV Hollfeld in June 1900 but changed to its current name in 1929 when a football department was established. The club's rise through the divisions began in the mid-2000s. In 2006 it earned promotion to the tier seven Bezirksliga Oberfranken-Ost where it finished champions in its first season there and won promotion to the Bezirksoberliga.

Playing in the Bezirksoberliga Oberfranken in 2007–08 the club finished runners-up in the league was promoted to the Landesliga.

ASV Hollfeld played for the next four seasons in the Landesliga Bayern-Nord until this league was disbanded in 2012. In the Landesliga the club finished on all occasions in the lower half of the table. However, a fourteenth place was enough to qualify the club for the new northern division of the Bayernliga after success in the promotion round, overcoming SV Friesen and TSV Neudrossenfeld in the process.

Hollfeld played for two seasons in the Bayernliga Nord, coming fourteenth in its first year. An eighteenth place in the second season meant the club was relegated and forced to step down to the Landesliga Bayern-Nordost. In the Landesliga, in 2014–15, the club finished last in the league and was relegated once more, now to the Bezirksliga. A last-place finish in the Bezirksliga in 2015–16 meant another drop for the club, now to the A-Klasse, which Bayreuth won for the first time in 2019, climbing them up to the Bezirksliga once more.

Honours
The club's honours:
 Bezirksoberliga Oberfranken
 Runners-up: 2008
 Bezirksliga Oberfranken-Ost
 Champions: 2007
 A-Klasse Bayreuth

Recent seasons
The recent season-by-season performance of the club:

With the introduction of the Bezirksoberligas in 1988 as the new fifth tier, below the Landesligas, all leagues below dropped one tier. With the introduction of the Regionalligas in 1994 and the 3. Liga in 2008 as the new third tier, below the 2. Bundesliga, all leagues below dropped one tier. With the establishment of the Regionalliga Bayern as the new fourth tier in Bavaria in 2012 the Bayernliga was split into a northern and a southern division, the number of Landesligas expanded from three to five and the Bezirksoberligas abolished. All leagues from the Bezirksligas onwards were elevated one tier.

title: Carlos de Grand Pré

text:
Carlos Louis Boucher De Grand Pré  (October 25, 1745 – 1809) was Spanish governor of the  Baton Rouge district (1799–1808) and of Spanish West Florida (1805), as well as brevet colonel in the Spanish Army. He also served as lieutenant governor of Red River District and of the Natchez District.

Biography
Grand Pré was born in New Orleans, and was baptized Charles Louis Grand Pré on 25 October 1745, at the parish church of St. Louis in New Orleans. His parents were the Canadian nobleman Louis Antoine Boucher de Grand Pré, a captain of the Compagnies Franches de la Marine and commandant of the Arkansas Post and Fort Tombecbe, and his Louisiana creole wife Thérèse Gallard. In Spanish records after 1769, his first name is usually given as "Carlos."

He participated in the expansion of Baton Rouge under Elias Beauregard, although its original authorization had not been compiled. Ownership of Louisiana changed several times during this time period.

Military career

This was illustrated by taking the British military posts of Thompson's Creek and Amite River, under the command of Governor Bernardo de Gálvez, and the campaign for Fort Manchac and Fort New Richmond, in 1779. He served as commander of Pointe Coupée and as lieutenant governor of the Red River District, stationed at Avoyelles, under the Spanish regime.

Grand Pré was also commandant of Natchez District between 1786 and 1792. During this period, Grand Pré built two parishes here in an attempt to convert inhabitants to Catholicism; however, the venture was unsuccessful. In 1789, he established the "Concord" mansion in Natchez.  In a letter dated March 2, 1790, Carlos de Grand Pré created a list of tobacco farmers in the Natchez District, mainly from Kentucky and Virginia, that outlined production quantities and origination of each farm between the years of 1788 and 1790. After leaving Natchez, he received land around the Avoyelles Post.

Political career
In 1799, Grand Pré was appointed governor of the Baton Rouge. The same year, the new governor proposed that the Spanish settlers from the Canary Islands who lived in Galvez Town settle in the new town of Spanish Town. He drew up the layout of an area east of the fort "out of cannon shot" which became known as Spanish Town.

As far back as 1804, there had been rumblings against the Spaniards and in August of that year, a group of Americans under the leadership of Reuben Kemper published a declaration of independence, captured the Spanish commander and his alcalde at Bayou Sara, and set out to capture Gov. Grand Pré at Baton Rouge. They had hoped to surprise the Spanish official, but Grand Pré was well-warned and the Americans withdrew after a little desultory shooting. The Kempers retired to Pinckneyville, just over the line in the Mississippi Territory, from where they kept up a running battle with the Spanish.

In 1805, Grand Pré was appointed governor of West Florida.  In this year, the new governor proposed the emigration of the Spanish settlers from the Canary Islands who lived in Galvez Town to settle down in the new town of Spanish Town. He drew up the layout of an area east of the fort 'out of cannon shot' that became known as Spanish Town.

An ultimate result of the activity of the Kempers and when Napoleon was attempting to install his brother on the Spanish throne was the recall of Grand Pré to Havana by the captain-general for questioning over his mild policies against the inhabitants. Grand Pré died in Cuba in 1809 while awaiting trial. According to his friend Pedro Favrot, he was executed for "pro-French" activities. Carlos de Hault de Lassus, who succeeded him as governor of the district of Baton Rouge, was much criticized for accused corruption and taken prisoner during the West Florida revolt in 1810.

title: Origins (Eluveitie album)

text:
Origins is the sixth studio album by Swiss folk metal band Eluveitie. The album was released on 1 August 2014 through Nuclear Blast. It was the last album to include longtime members Anna Murphy, Ivo Henzi, Merlin Sutter and Patrick "Päde" Kistler as band members.

Concept
Origins deals with the Celtic mythology, "or to be more precise, with aetiological tales from Gaul", commented vocalist and front man Chrigel Glanzmann. Glanzmann also created the album artwork for this new offering and goes on to explain: "The album cover of Origins is designed after the hammer/club-shaped 'halo' of Sucellos, as seen on a statue that was found in a shrine of a Gallo-Roman household in today's France. It was created under the scientific supervision of experts from the University of Zürich".

Reception

Upon its release, Origins received generally positive reviews from music critics. Björn Springorum of Metal Hammer said that Origins was "their strongest album to date". Glenn Butler of Powerplay continued the praise saying "Quite simply this album is a magnificent creation from the concept through to the delivery".

title: Jenness Farm

text:
The Jenness Farm is a historic farm property at 626 Pickering Road in Rochester, New Hampshire. It consists of about  in Rochester and adjacent Dover, and has been in continuous ownership by the Jenness family since 1837. It was, at the time of its 2001 listing on the National Register of Historic Places, one of just ten farms in the city with intact land and buildings.

Description and history
The Jenness Farm is located on the northeast side of Pickering Road in southernmost Rochester and northwestern Dover. Most of its  are located in Dover, with the farmstead complex located in Rochester, south of Shady Hill Drive. About 3/4 of the farm acreage is east of Pickering Road, with the balance to its west. The main house is a Colonial Revival structure built in 1935, replacing a c. 1890s farmhouse that burned in 1934. It is oriented facing south, with a rear ell joining it to a barn of similar vintage.

The land that now makes up Jenness Farm was acquired in 1837 by Cyrus Jenness, and is substantially all of the land he acquired. His primary focus was a dairy operation, but he also raised potatoes and had an apple orchard. His son, D.F. Jenness, built the 1890s farmstead and continued the dairy operation. He acquired cows that could be raised for both beef and dairy, and diversified the farm's crops. At the time of the 1934 fire that destroyed his farmstead, Jenness was one of more than 130 farmers in Rochester. He rebuilt, using the existing foundations to build the present farmstead. His successors, Edith and Charles Teague, expanded the farm's poultry operation, as a tightening of dairy handling regulations led to a reduction in milk production. Intensive agricultural use of the land ended in the 1970s; it is now used for hay production and tree farming, and remains with Jenness's descendants.

title: Dahomeyan Democratic Movement

text:
The Dahomeyan Democratic Movement (, MDD) was a political party in French Dahomey.

History
The MDD was established in northern Dahomey by Hubert Maga in 1951 as the Ethnic Group of the North (Groupement Ethnique du Nord, GEN). Maga had previously been a member of the ruling Dahomeyan Progressive Union, but was encouraged to split from the party by the local French administrator Roger Péperty. Maga gained support from his Bariba people, and won one of the two Dahomey seats in the French National Assembly in the June 1951 elections.

The party won 9 of the 32 second college seats in the 1952 Territorial Assembly elections, emerging as the second-largest faction behind the Republican Party of Dahomey. In 1953 it became the Dahomeyan Democratic Movement. Maga was re-elected to the French National Assembly in 1956.

The MDD was reduced to six seats in the 1957 Territorial Assembly elections, and in August 1957, it merged with the Independents of the North party led by Paul Darboux to form the Dahomeyan Democratic Rally.

title: Bloodstone & Diamonds

text:
Bloodstone & Diamonds is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Machine Head, released via Nuclear Blast on November 7, 2014. It is the first album to feature Jared MacEachern who replaced founding bassist Adam Duce in 2013. Although the album does not have a title track, the album gets its name from a lyric from the opening track and second single, "Now We Die".

Background
The album was once again mixed by Colin Richardson with additional tracking, editing, and mixing by Andy Sneap and Steve Lagudi. All album art was done by Travis Shinn. It is the band's first album not to be released on Roadrunner Records.

Lyrics and themes
Like with previous Machine Head releases, the album's lyrics detail political and social themes, particularly civil unrest, dissatisfaction and injustice, often with violent conclusions. The song "Night of Long Knives" is not about the Röhm-Putsch, but instead the Manson Family murders in Hollywood in 1969.

"Imaginal Cells" is an instrumental featuring samples from the audiobook Spontaneous Evolution by Dr. Bruce Lipton and Steve Bhaerman.

Reception
The album was met with universal acclaim by music critics, with Dom Lawson of The Guardian writing "Striking an exquisite balance between brute force, insistent melody and bold experimentation, this is the finest mainstream metal album of 2014 by a huge margin." In the first week of release, the album debuted at No. 21 on the Billboard 200 chart, becoming the band's highest charting album ever.

title: Trace and access

text:
In United Kingdom homeowner's insurance policies, trace and access cover refers to insurance cover of the costs to detect and repair the source of a water leak.  While most policies will cover the cost to repair water damage caused by a leak, many UK policies specifically or implicitly exclude trace and access cover, leaving the homeowner to foot the bill for finding and repairing the leaking pipe or other source of water incursion into the home.  Without trace and access coverage, any damage done to the home to locate the leak (removing wall board or floor boards to access plumbing, etc.) is not covered.

Where trace and access cover is provided, an industry of service providers has arisen and is favoured by insurers as they are able to use advanced techniques to ascertain the source of water incursion while minimizing damage to the home structure.
As at 2022, few UK insurances companies cover the cost of the actual repair within their policies. Most policies have generous upper limit in addition as soon as the causation is discovered to be an insurable peril any subsequent damage reverts to the buildings or contents section of the policy, which is almost always much more generous.

Storsjön (, lit. "The Great Lake") is a lake in Gävle Municipality and Sandviken Municipality in Gästrikland and is a part of Gavleån. Storsjön has an area of a , a greatest depth of , and is approximately  above sea level. The lake is drained by Gavleån. Experimental fishing has proved that there are many different varieties of fish here, such as perch, bream, sea bream and ruffe.

An old saying says that the lake has "just as many islands as there are days in a year" which should not be interpreted literally, but simply means that they are too many to count (a more accurate figure would be around 150 islands). Storsjön is mostly around  in depth.

Old sources claim that Storsjön previously went by the name of Odensjön. This could possibly be proven by a 17th-century map where Gavleån, that flows through Gävle, is called Odensjöströmmen (lit. "Stream of Odensjön"). Storsjön is connected to Gavleån, which is connected to the sea.

1995 saw the SWGFL get absorbed into the Mornington Peninsula Nepean FL and Dingley continued in this competition until the end of 2006. The club had limited success, only making the finals on one occasion.

In 2007 the club decided to move to the Southern Football League. The club competed in 2nd Division and won the flag in 2008. Dingley has competed in 1st Division since 2009.

In 2011, the club signed ex-AFL players Shane Morwood and Darren Kappler as senior and reserve coaches respectively and started on a journey of sustained success, which resulted in the delivery of a '3-Peat' of Division 1 senior premierships in 2015/2016/2017.

The Dingoes introduced netball in 2012 and changed their name officially to the Dingley Football Netball Club at their 2015 AGM.  Since 2012, the Dingoes have played in every SFNL Division 1 Netball Grand Final, securing the 2013/2014/2015 3-Peat. The club's thirds side (also introduced in 2012) also secured 3-Peat titles over this same period.

The club's reserves have been hugely successful in recent years, claiming successive minor premierships every year since 2011 and securing the 2011, 2014 and 2015 premierships from 6 Grand Final appearances.

title: CryptoNote

text:
CryptoNote is an application layer protocol designed for use with cryptocurrencies that aims to solve specific problems identified in Bitcoin. Namely:

 Traceability of transactions
 The proof-of-work function (see Bitcoin network)
 Irregular emission
 Hardcoded constants
 Bulky scripts
 Financial privacy

The protocol powers several decentralized privacy-oriented cryptocurrencies, including Monero, MobileCoin and Safex Cash.

Nothing is known about the original author of CryptoNote, "Nicolas van Saberhagen." Its mathematical component and motivation are described in the article "CryptoNote Whitepaper", released in two editions: in 2012 and in 2013. Launched in the summer of 2012, Bytecoin was the first cryptocurrency to use this technology. Later, several teams launched their networks, based on the Bytecoin code.

Emission
Just like in Bitcoin, miners are rewarded for finding solutions. But the stepped release curve characteristic of Bitcoin has been replaced with a smooth one in CryptoNote: the reward decreases with each block.

One implementation of the CryptoNote protocol has resulted in a non-smooth emission curve, specifically, the S-curve of the Safex Blockchain, which was designed to match the Diffusion of Innovations technology adoption curve theory.

title: Northern Iraq offensive (August 2014)

text:
Between 1 and 15 August 2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) expanded territory in northern Iraq under their control. In the region north and west from Mosul, the Islamic State conquered Zumar, Sinjar, Wana, Mosul Dam, Qaraqosh, Tel Keppe, Batnaya and Kocho, and in the region south and east of Mosul the towns Bakhdida, Karamlish, Bartella and Makhmour

The offensive resulted in 200,000 Yazidi civilians and 100,000 Assyrians driven from their homes, 5,000 Yazidi men massacred, 5,000–7,000 Yazidi women enslaved, and a foreign military intervention against the Islamic State.

After the withdrawal of Iraqi federal forces from advancing Islamic state troops from many cities, and later the withdrawal of Kurdish Peshmerga fighters from many positions including the Qaraqosh and Sinjar,  50,000 of Sinjar's Yazidis took refuge in the adjacent Sinjar Mountains, where they lacked food, water, and other necessities. While providing help and aid to refugees, an Iraqi helicopter crashed, killing the pilot and injuring several passengers, including an Iraqi member of parliament and a photographer on assignment for TIME.  35,000 to 45,000 of them were evacuated within several weeks after the United States bombed ISIL positions, and the Iraqi armed forces, Kurdish People's Defence Forces, People's Protection Units, and Peshmerga forces opened a humanitarian corridor to enable their escape. Some ISIL-controlled territory was retaken; a subsequent Kurdish counter-attack recaptured the Mosul Dam and several other nearby towns.

Background

In June 2014, Islamic State invaded and conquered significant territories in western and northern Iraq, including the cities of Mosul, Iraq's second largest town, with over a million residents, and Tikrit, 200 km south of Mosul. Iraqi federal military forces withdrew from the advancing ISIL troops and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters withdrew from Qaraqosh and Sinjar and later took over the control of a wide territory in northern Iraq outside the Kurdistan Region from the federal Iraqi government. A former commander of the Iraqi ground forces, Ali Ghaidan, accused former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki of being the one who issued the order to withdraw.

ISIL assault

 1 August
Friday 1 August 2014, ISIL attacked a Peshmerga post in Zumar, 40 km northwest of Mosul, in the peshmerga-controlled zone of northern Iraq, and a nearby oil-winning facility and the nearby Mosul Dam, Iraq's largest dam and an important supplier of electricity and water. The Peshmerga fought off ISIL, killing 100 ISIL fighters, according to Kurdish sources, but also losing 14 Peshmerga fighters.
 2–3 August

Sunday 3 August, ISIL, with heavy weaponry seized from the Iraqi federal army, in the darkness of morning seized first the town of Zumar and then Sinjar (90 km southwest of Zumar), and the surrounding Sinjar area. ISIL routed from those towns the Kurdish peshmerga troops that since June more or less controlled the region. A spokesman of citizens who fled from Sinjar said, that 250 peshmerga in Sinjar had withdrawn from Sinjar in the night, leaving the civilians unprotected.

ISIL on 3 August also took control of the oil facility in the Zumar subdistrict. Later that day, ISIL also captured the town of Wana between Zumar and Mosul. There were conflicting reports about whether the Mosul Dam was still in Kurdish hands or captured by ISIL.
 4 August
ISIL surrounded the village of Kocho near the Sinjar Mountains, demanding its Yazidi residents to convert or die.
 6 August
ISIL on 6 August advanced up to 40 km southwest of Erbil, the capital of autonomous region Kurdistan Region.
 7 August

On 7 August, ISIL took control of Qaraqosh (or Bakhdida), the largest Christian town of Iraq, 30 km southeast of Mosul and 60 km west of Erbil, Karamlish, 5 km from Qaraqosh, Tal Keif (Tel Keppe), Batnaya, just north of Mosul, and Bartella, just east of Mosul.
Kurdish forces had retreated from Qaraqosh and surrounding area, which caused civilians to flee in panic. The Chaldaic archbishop of Kirkuk and Sulaymaniyah, Joseph Thomas, stated that "all inhabitants" of those four cities were fleeing their town.

ISIL also captured the strategic town of Makhmour, between Mosul and Kirkuk, 20 miles from Erbil. There were conflicting remarks—in one newspaper—as to whether ISIL had 'seized' the Mosul Dam or was making 'efforts to seize' it. That week, ISIL also overran other towns in northwest Iraq, chasing Kurdish Peshmerga troops away.

At this time, the U.S. started airdropping food and water for the Yazidi refugees stranded in the Sinjar Mountains.
 8–9 August
On 8 August, the U.S. started to conduct airstrikes on ISIL, first west of Erbil to stop ISIL's advance on the city. Starting on 9 August, airstrikes also took place around the Sinjar Mountains. By this time, ISIL had also seized the Mosul Dam, 40 km northwest of Mosul on the Tigris river.

Iraqi/Kurdish/US counter-attack

U.S intervention

On 5 August, the United States began with directly supplying munitions to the Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga forces and, with Iraq's agreement, the shipment of weapons to the Kurds.

Following the start of U.S. airstrikes on 8 August, between 9 and 13 August, the American air-strikes and efforts from Iraqi, Syrian and Turkish Kurds enabled the evacuation of 35,000 to 45,000 of the 50,000 Yazidis stranded in the Sinjar Mountains.

On 10 August, encouraged by American airstrikes, Kurdish Peshmerga forces retook the strategic towns of Gwer and Makhmour, both about 20 miles from Erbil. American fighter jets bombarded areas in Makhmour, forcing ISIL fighters to abandon their positions, and Kurdish Peshmerga together with Kurdish PKK fighters and civilian volunteers from the area reclaimed the village.

On 15 August, ISIL moved into the village Kocho, which they had held surrounded since 4 August, shot 80 Yazidi men dead with assault rifles, and abducted their wives and children.

Reclaiming the Mosul Dam

From 16 until 18 August, the U.S. conducted 35 airstrikes against ISIL positions at the strategically critical Mosul Dam. This allowed Kurdish and Iraqi forces to move swiftly and with cooperation towards Mosul Dam.

On the morning of 17 August, Kurdish forces, supported by U.S. and Iraqi airstrikes, attacked the dam. They quickly captured the eastern part of the dam, but fighting continued. By the evening, Kurdish and Iraqi forces had recaptured most of the facility, but were still in the process of removing mines and booby traps left by ISIL. U.S. warplanes destroyed or damaged 19 ISIL vehicles and one checkpoint during the battle.

On 18 August, the U.S. president confirmed Kurdish Peshmerga ground troops, with the help of Iraqi Special Forces, overran ISIL militants and reclaimed the Mosul Dam.

Iraqi move on Tikrit
On the morning of 19 August, Iraqi government troops and allied militiamen launched an operation to retake the city of Tikrit from ISIL. The military push started early in the morning from the south and southwest of the city, which lies around 160 kilometres north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

However, by the afternoon, the offensive had been repelled by ISIL. Also, the Iraqi military lost its positions in the southern area of the city it had captured a few weeks earlier.

Humanitarian reaction

On 5 August, Iraqi military helicopters started dropping food and water for the Yazidis in the Sinjar Mountains.

On 7 August, the U.S. also started airdropping food and water for the Yazidi refugees stranded in the Sinjar Mountains.

On 10 August, the United Kingdom also began airdropping humanitarian aid in northern Iraq.

Civilian casualties

The ISIL capture of Sinjar on 3 August was accompanied by a massacre of thousands of Yazidi men, the selling of women into slavery, and 200,000 civilians fleeing Sinjar, of whom 50,000 fled to Mount Sinjar.

ISIL ordered the Yazidi minority in the area to convert to Islam, pay jizyah, or face death. This prompted tens of thousands to flee their homes not only in Sinjar city but in many other villages; for example, 300 Yazidi families fled the villages of Koja, Hatimiya and Qaboshi.

The UN reported in October 2014 that ISIL, "sweeping" through Iraqi territory inhabited by Yazidis in August, had gunned down 5,000 Yazidi male civilians in a series of massacres and detained 5,000–7,000 Yazidi women to be sold as slaves or given to jihadists.

On 7 August, the UN reported that since 2 August 200,000 new refugees had been seeking sanctuary in the Kurdish north of Iraq from ISIL.

100,000 Christians, 25% of Iraq's Christianity, fled Bakhdida (Qaraqosh) and neighbouring villages and towns in the Nineveh Governorate after ISIL's invasion on 7 August, leaving all their property behind, many of them fleeing to Kurdistan Region. According to local officials, this August ISIL advance nearly purged northwestern Iraq of most of its Christian (Assyrian) population.

title: Lynn and Boston Railroad

text:
The Lynn and Boston Railroad was a streetcar railway chartered for operations between Boston and Lynn, Massachusetts in 1859. Following a number of acquisitions, the railway was a part of a 1901 street railway merger that formed the Boston and Northern Street Railway.

The Thomson-Houston Electric Company developed and implemented electrification in Lynn on the Highland Circuit route of the Lynn & Boston, the first electrified streetcar in Massachusetts with regular electric service begun November 19, 1888. The electrified cars were able to ascend the steep 8% grade into the Lynn Highlands far easier than even a team of four horses.

title: Chalet Eugenia

text:
The Chalet Eugenia is a chalet in Klosters which has been used by members of the British Royal Family for over three decades.

History & background
Chalet Eugenia was built after World War II and was completed in 1958 by Baroness Thyssen-Bornemisza. It was subsequently bought by the Bentinck family and later sold in 2012 to the Swiss businessman Rolf Theiler.

Style & interior

The chalet's interior design dates from the 1950s, and has been largely retained. The drawing room has a central pillared stone log fireplace leading onto an oak beamed and paneled dining room. The second dining room is equipped with the original wood fired oven. Most rooms have their own balconies and terraces with views of the Gotschna mountainous region. In 2006 Tom Robbins described the chalet as "the poshest pad in the Alps". The chalet overlooks the village of Klosters, described by Harper's Bazaar as "the ski resort beloved of the royal family".

Skiing
Chalet Eugenia has a 'Ski in & Ski out' children's Heid Ski Lift directly next to the northwesterly side of the chalet, allowing access to the T-bar lift powered slope.

Klosters & society
The Klosters ski resort has long been a winter destination for the British Royal Family. Prince William and Prince Harry learnt to ski in the village. Other celebrities who have vacationed at the resort include Paul Newman, Audrey Hepburn, Diana, Princess of Wales, Winston Churchill, Howard Hawks, William Wyler, John F. Kennedy's sister Patricia Kennedy Lawford, Kenneth More, Major Hugh Lindsay, Vivien Leigh, Lauren Bacall, Stavros Niarchos, Carol Thatcher, Georgina Fitzalan-Howard, Duchess of Norfolk, Gregory Peck, Yul Brynner, Kay Kendall, Juliette Gréco, Roger Vadim, David Niven, Robert Capa, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, Greta Garbo and Gene Kelly, who danced on the tables in the hotel bar of the Hotel Chesa Grischuna where Rex Harrison discussed his musical notes for "My Fair Lady" with the hotel pianist.

Producer of 'Gone with the wind', David O. Selznick and his wife Jennifer Jones along with Julie Andrews, Peter Sellers and Britt Ekland were all regulars in the sixties. Irwin Shaw had a street named after him. Billy Wilder came to ski and party in the village every winter, Julie Andrews wrote; "I could have danced all night!" Baroness Joanna von Schenk's chalet has the following quote carved into the wood; "If you were very good in a previous life, God will give you Klosters in the next." Peter Viertel described Klosters as "Hollywood on the Rocks" in his autobiography 'Dangerous Friends' and in 1960 he married Deborah Kerr in the village.

More recent visitors include Lord Mandelson, billionaires Nathaniel Philip Rothschild, and Peter Munk Benjamin Wegg-Prosser, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, Sir Simon Robertson, Rupert Everett, John Fairchild, Nicholas Wheeler, Chrissie Rucker and Swiss movie producer Marc Forster. In 2009 and 2010 Prince Andrew rented Chalet Eugenia during the Davos World Economic Forum,  hosting Lord Mandelson and George Osborne during his first visit.

title: Reginald Foort

text:
Reginald John Foort (23 January 1893 – 22 May 1980), FRCO, ARCM, was a cinema organist and theatre organist. He was the first official BBC Staff Theatre Organist from 1936 to 1938, during which time he made 405 broadcasts on the organ at St George's Hall, Langham Place. 'Reggie' was a hugely popular broadcaster in his heyday in the late 1930s and 1940s in Britain and later settled in the United States, where he similarly enjoyed an illustrious career performing and recording.

Biography

Reginald Foort was born in Daventry, England, on 23 January 1893. His father was a church organist (leading Foort to joke later that he was 'born an organist'). Foort learnt the piano from the age of seven and took up the organ at eleven after his family moved to Rugby, studying with Basil Johnson, Master of Music at Rugby School. Foort became both an Associate and a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists (FRCO) by the age of only 17 under the tutelage of Sir Walter Parratt and began his career as organist and choirmaster at St Mary's, Bryanston Square, London. Having served in the Royal Navy during World War I, during which he served in the Battle of Jutland, he worked as a piano accompanist for silent films in the 1920s, from which it was a natural progression to become a cinema organist.

Career in Britain and Europe

Foort's first performance on a Wurlitzer was at a theatre in Edinburgh, and a few weeks later he took up a job as organist at the New Gallery Kinema, Regent Street, London, where in the late 1920s he passed what he described as 'one of the happiest periods of my life', popularising the theatre organ as a 'one-man orchestra' through broadcasts and recordings of his performances on the cinema's F2/S Wurlitzer. This was followed by spells at the Paramount Theatre (Paris); the London Palladium, and, with Sandy MacPherson, the Empire, Leicester Square. He made his first commercial recording in 1926.

In 1930 Foort became solo organist at the Regal, Marble Arch, performing on a Christie organ. In 1932 he was appointed the first resident organist at the Regal, Kingston upon Thames, and advised on the installation of theatre organs in a number of regional cinemas in collaboration with the organ builder Peter Conacher of Huddersfield. During a visit to the US in 1935, he performed on the 4/36 organ at the Paramount Theatre in New York. Touring back home in Europe, he was warmly received at the Jerusalemkirk in Denmark owing to a popular following from his radio broadcasts. He did a five-month spell at the City Theatre, Amsterdam, and broadcast on the Dutch radio station Radio Hilversum, returning to London to take up a post as organist of the four-manual Compton organ at the Paramount Theatre, Tottenham Court Road.

In 1936 Foort was appointed as Staff Theatre Organist at the BBC, performing at the BBC Theatre Organ, St George's Hall, Langham Place, and attained widespread popularity, not only for his musicality but also for his personal charm. Each episode began and closed with his beguiling signature tune 'Keep Smiling'. In 1937 Foort was voted the most popular radio entertainer in Britain, with twice as many votes as Gracie Fields, beating his friend and fellow organist Reginald Dixon into third place. He remained in the role of Staff Theatre Organist until 1938, continuing to make broadcasts for the BBC on a freelance basis.

In 1938 Foort designed and commissioned a mobile organ from the American firm M. P. Möller, which was first set up at the Drury Lane Theatre, London in only five days, enabling him to make his first recording on it on the fifth day. During the next few years he made a series of memorable recordings of classical and light music on the Möller. In 1941 he loaned the mobile organ to the BBC, and for the next ten years travelled round the country, often by train, giving performances. His warm and personable style, combined with his patriotism, were a boost to wartime morale, and he set himself a punishing schedule with the result that a decade later, in his words, 'there was not a town or city anywhere in Great Britain that I had not visited'.

Career in the United States

Having greatly enjoyed his 1935 visit to the US, when he played the organ of the Paramount Theatre in New York, Foort vowed to return to the States to live. The opportunity came in 1951, when he was invited to establish an American foothold for a Dutch firm, the Standaart Organ Company. He settled with his wife (Betty) and family in Suffolk, Virginia, in 1952. Foort made recordings on the Mosque Theatre organ in Richmond, Virginia, and used the pseudonym Michael Cheshire for his recordings of light music, which were not considered serious enough to fit with Standaart's reputation (he had also used this name previously in England under the Eclipse label). However the Standaart project was discontinued after only ten months owing to lack of capital.

Foort and his family chose to remain in the US. He was invited to work for the Chicago-based firm Baldwin Organs, a role that he retained for many years. Having resettled in Chicago he enjoyed another active period of his career, including as organist for the Jewish Reform Temple (Temple Sholom), playing its horseshoe-shaped Wurlitzer. According to Foort's friend Ben M Hall, Foort could 'thrill huge audiences... with deft interpretations of serious classics, light classics, show tunes and pop tunes,' being 'the master of each genre'.

Möller organ specification and history
Weighing , Foort's specially commissioned Möller organ had five manuals (keyboards), 27 ranks of pipes, 259 stops, over 100 pistons and controls, and percussion instruments. It was transported in sections, by a fleet of five lorries and thirteen staff; during World War II fuel rationing it was transported by train. During Foort's travels from 1938 onwards the organ was set up 167 times at 118 different locations. In 1941 Foort loaned the organ to the BBC after theirs was destroyed by German bombing. They subsequently purchased it in 1946, erecting it at the Jubilee Hall, London. In 1963, the BBC sold the organ to Radio Hilversum. From there, it went, in 1975, after a thorough refurbishment, to a pizza parlour in Pacific Beach, California, where Foort rededicated it. Since 1979 it has been installed at Pasadena Civic Auditorium, California, where Foort attended its 23 April 1980 inaugural performance. He died in Pasadena, California, less than a month later, on 22 May.

Broadcasts and recordings

Foort made his first broadcast from Marconi House, playing the piano, on January 15, 1923. His most famous broadcasts and recordings in the UK were in 1936-8 on his Möller organ, as the BBC Staff Theatre Organist.

In 2004 Phoenix Historic Records was set up by William Henry Lewis (1924-2021) to bring his collection of Foort 78 records to a wider audience through digitally remastered CD editions. The featured melodies, medleys and excerpts are by a wide range of composers of classical and light music, including Addinsell, Amers, Bizet, Brahms, Chopin, Coates, Delibes, Donaldson, Drigo, Friml, Green, Handel, Hanley-Mills, Harline, Joyce, Kahn-Woods, Ketelby, Kilmer-Rasbach, Klein-Dillon, Nevin, Orth, Purcell, Rombert, Rossini, Schubert, Simons-Marks, Sullivan, Suppé, Taylor-Fisher, Tobias-DeRose, Toselli, Wagner, Haydn Wood, Yradier and Zalva. The CD titles are as follows:

 Reginald Foort at the organ of the Regal Cinema, Kingston-on-Thames (1932-33)
 Reginald Foort on his giant Möller concert organ (1938-42), volumes I-VI
 Reginald Foort on the Paramount Theatre Organ, New York

A special programme to mark Foort's departure from the BBC, Farewell to Reginald Foort, was broadcast on the BBC Home Service on 31 October 1938. He featured as a castaway on the BBC Radio 4 programme Desert Island Discs on 8 May 1971.

Foort made many recordings while in the US, in Virginia, Chicago, Pasadena (California) and other locations. He described his first LP, recorded at Boston Symphony Hall, as his finest recording (despite temperatures on the night having been around !).

title: Jacksonville Beach Sea Birds

text:
The Jacksonville Beach Sea Birds were a short-lived minor league baseball team, located in Jacksonville Beach, Florida from 1952 until 1954. It was a member of the then-Class D Florida State League.

History
The businessmen who owned the team hoped that professional baseball would add a source of entertainment for residents and tourists. Many residents loved the game and a few men could also fulfill their dream of becoming team owners. Minor league teams seemed ubiquitous in Florida, the rest of the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean. The team was owned by the Greater Beaches Stadium, Inc. and their home ball park, known as  Municipal Stadium, was on South Penman south of Shetter Avenue, a little over a mile from the ocean. Although the focus was Jacksonville Beach, people in other contiguous communities, such as Ponte Vedra Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, and Mayport, also rooted for the team. The owners hired Red Treadway, a former New York Giants player, as the Sea Birds' manager.

The Sea Birds finished the 1952 season with an 80–56 record, finishing second in the league behind the Palatka Azaleas. In the playoffs, the team finished second. The Sea Birds had only drawn 23,210 people to their home games and they lost money. The team was then sold to Julian Jackson and T.F. Cowart, who invested $50,000 into the team. The team finished in fifth place in 1953. The team's attendance issues continued, attracting just 17,785 patrons for the season. The Jacksonville baseball dollar was lost to the Jacksonville Braves and their star, Hank Aaron. One solution to the attendance problem was to sign some black players. However, according to Hank Aaron, the Sea Birds tried to put black players on the team but the local Chamber of Commerce and the American Legion believed that patrons "would rather have an all-white team."

By November 1, 1953, team ownership demanded concessions from the city, including a rent-free stadium, utilities, $20,000 worth of advance ticket sales, and 500 season tickets at $40 each. On March 18, 1954, the City of Jacksonville Beach helped the club by leasing the stadium to them for one dollar; agreeing to maintain the field and fences; providing police protection; and providing an estimated 65,000 KWH of electricity at the very low rate of two cents per KWH. The city then was able to use the stadium when there were no scheduled games. The Cleveland Indians made the Sea Birds one of their farm teams but they changed the personnel of the team, bringing in Spurgeon Chandler to coach.

Russ Nixon, the future manager of the Cincinnati Reds and the Atlanta Braves, won the 1954 Florida State League batting title. His brother, Roy, also played on the team, batting .324, hitting four home runs, with 91 RBIs. Meanwhile, the Sea Birds won the first half of the season but they finished with a 76–63 record (55%) and they lost in the league finals, finishing third in the league. The Sea Birds never solved their attendance problem. Ticket giveaways, performances and special events failed to create an audience sufficient to sustain the team. The Indians ended their affiliation with the franchise at the end of the season and the team formally folded.
