title: Enrique White

text:
Enrique White  (1741 - April 13, 1811) was an Irish-born Spanish soldier who served as Governor of West Florida (May 1793 – May 1795) and of East Florida (June 1796 - March 1811).

Biography
Enrique (Henry) White was born in Dublin, Ireland. He later immigrated to Spain, where he served the Spanish Crown from age 22 until his death. The young man joined the Spanish Royal Army, eventually rising to the rank of colonel. In 1779 he was appointed commander of the third battalion of the Louisiana Infantry Regiment, with the title Sargento Mayor (Sergeant Major). serving several times in that capacity, and eventually attained the rank of brigadier.

On May 15, 1793, White was appointed acting Governor of West Florida, and remained in the position until June 1795.

White was appointed Governor of East Florida in the spring of 1796, and arrived in its capital, Saint Augustine, on June 5. He assumed his duties on June 20. Construction of the cathedral of St. Augustine, initiated by his predecessor Bartolomé Morales, was completed the next year in 1797. It was in January 1797 that Governor White received news that Spain was at war with England (Anglo-Spanish War). This conflict would last until 1802 and was part of the larger Napoleonic Wars in Europe.

New construction was encouraged in St. Augustine during White's governorship, with numerous new houses being built. The military preparedness of the city and its fortifications were strengthened. The garrison's morale improved as well with better conditions. White was very strict in granting the concession of lands from the public domain, and often enforced the laws more rigorously than the legal code itself would allow.

In 1799, English corsairs took Amelia Island along the much contested Florida-Georgia border. Officials in Georgia's Camden County corresponded with White whenever American fugitives crossed the southern border fleeing the law.

Illness and death
White fell ill in 1800, and was temporarily replaced by Lt. Col. Bartolomé Morales, who had previously served as acting governor of East Florida (March 1796 - June 1796), accompanied by Gonzalo Zamorano, Commissary of the army and accountant of the royal finance. White recovered from his illness in 1801 and resumed his office, remaining in that position until March 1811, when he fell ill again and died on April 13 of that year in St. Augustine. He is buried in Tolomato Cemetery in St. Augustine.

Personal  life
Governor White never married. He owned several slaves, who gained their freedom when he died.

Legacy
In 1811, White officially named a town on Amelia Island "Fernandina," in honor of the Catholic monarch Ferdinand VII of Spain. This renaming followed Napoleon's invasion of Spain and the Court's exile.

The street running east and west in Fernandina called "White Street" was named after Enrique White.

title: Arthur Beale

text:
Arthur Beale is a yacht-chandler that stocks a wide variety of nautical equipment and accessories.  The business started as the rope-maker John Buckingham by the nearby Fleet river in the 16th century and was based in premises in Bloomsbury until 2021.  In the 19th century, they became known as the exclusive suppliers of climbing rope to the Alpine Club.  They still make and stock a large variety of ropes and lines and so also supply theatrical rigging and ornamental ropes for decoration and crowd control.  In 2021, following the COVID-19 pandemic, they announced that they would be moving the business online but with plans for a new retail location or format such as a Christmas pop-up shop.

History

The business started as rope-maker, John Buckingham, on the Fleet river at the start of the 16th century. In the early 19th century, they had premises at number 6 in the Middle Row of St Giles—an impressive terrace in the middle of Broad Street—but had to move when this was demolished in 1843.
They then operated from premises on Shaftesbury Avenue when John Buckingham and then the new proprietor, Arthur Beale, were exclusive suppliers of climbing rope to early members of the Alpine Club. This was made to the club's specification so that it was both light and strong, being made from three strands of manila hemp, treated to be rot proof and marked with a red thread of worsted yarn. This rope was used for British expeditions to Mount Everest and Antarctica.  It also supplied ice axes to polar explorer, Ernest Shackleton; the flagpole for Buckingham Palace and rigging for escapologists and the window displays of Selfridges department store.

The business now trades mainly as a yacht chandler, stocking and supplying nautical equipment such as a monkey's fist – a weighted ball of rope used for line-throwing.  To support the retailing, they have a workshop downstairs, where they produce special orders for ropes and rigging. This business was declining but, in 2014, veteran sailor and theatrical chandler, Alasdair Flint, took over with business partner Gerry Jeatt with plans to revive it.  The range of products was broadened to include nautical clothing, books and novelties such as ship's biscuits.  Other new activities included courses and presentations, stands at boat shows and improved windows displays.

The COVID-19 pandemic depressed retail activity in central London and the business could not then sustain the rental cost of the shop in Shaftesbury Avenue.  A new management team of Hugh Taylor and James Keef plan to move the business online from a warehouse base in Buckinghamshire.  This would then be supported by more limited retailing in London such as a pop-up shop at Christmas time.

In July 2021, a retail store opened in Portsmouth which offers a Click and Collect at Sea service.

Reviews
Eugenia Bell, writing in The Traditional Shops and Restaurants of London, praised the establishment:

In 1999, Time Out likewise commented on their incongruity but praised the range of nautical equipment:

title: The Business Style Handbook

text:
The Business Style Handbook: An A-to-Z Guide for Effective Writing on the Job, usually called The Business Style Handbook, is a 280-page style guide tailored to people who write on the job. The authors are Helen Cunningham and Brenda Greene.

History
McGraw-Hill published the first edition in 2002 and the second edition in 2012. In 2003, McGraw-Hill published the book in complex Chinese. In 2004, China Financial and Economic Publishing House published a simplified Chinese edition.  Tata McGraw-Hill released an Indian edition in 2003.

Focus
This style guide focuses on business communications and is tailored for people who write on the job, which distinguishes it from style guides that are written from a journalism perspective. To develop the book, the authors surveyed communications executives at Fortune 500 companies. Results of that survey are summarized in the first chapter. The book also includes a 200-page section of A-to-Z entries on usage, grammar, punctuation and spelling for words and phrases commonly used in business writing.

Example: ampersand (&) Use the ampersand in an organization’s formal name if that is
what the organization uses, as in Barnes & Noble (do not write Barnes and Noble).
But do not use the & in place of and in text. Write Trinidad and Tobago, not
Trinidad & Tobago. If, however, you are using abbreviations, replace and with &,
so that research and development becomes R&D, profit and loss becomes P&L.

The Business Style Handbook is on the recommended reading list for Microsoft Education Written Competencies  and is found in university libraries around the world.

It is frequently recommended for business writing courses at universities, including USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Writing institutes, such as Borders Connect, a U.K. learning provider, also use the book for courses.

Organization
The Business Style Handbook is organized as follows.

Acknowledgments
Cites the Fortune 500 companies and communications executives who participated in the authors’ surveys for the first and second editions of the book.

Introduction
Describes the purpose of the book and its methodology.

Fortune 500 Survey Results
A summary of findings from the authors’ survey on writing practices at Fortune 500 companies. For example, it quotes one respondent who states, “No matter the level of employee, clearly communicating ideas is critical to the success of initiatives.”

Why Style Matters
Discusses the importance of writing well to establish credibility in business. For example, “Good communication skills are increasingly viewed as a core competency in the corporate world.”

The Case for Standards
Reviews the benefits organizations can gain from helping employees strengthen their writing skills.

Write with Purpose
Outlines  how to approach writing strategically.

Email: Before You Hit Send
Gives recommendations for best practices in business emails, such as how to use cc, bcc and Reply to All appropriately.

The A-to-Z Entries
A 200-page section of entries on usage, grammar, punctuation and spelling for words and phrases relevant for business writing.

Example:  bottom line, bottom-line  Two words when used as a noun, as in How will the price increase impact the bottom line? Write with a hyphen when used as an adjective: It is too soon to assess to the bottom-line impact of the price increases.

title: Gary Kuehn

text:
Gary Kuehn (born January 28, 1939, Plainfield, New Jersey) is an American artist who pioneered the Postminimal and Process Art movements of the 1960s.

Life and career

Gary Kuehn was born in 1939 to working-class family.  His father was a machinist and a member of the Communist Party during the McCarthy Era.   After receiving his BFA in Art History at Drew University he was encouraged by his mentor George Segal to attend the newly formed MFA program at Rutgers University where he studied with Roy Lichtenstein, Allan Kaprow, and Geoffrey Hendricks.  At that time Rutgers University was a hub for the Fluxus movement and Kuehn attended the very first happenings which took place at George Segal's farm in New Jersey.  As a student, Kuehn produced a sculpture for the 1963 Yam Festival organized by George Brecht and Robert Watts in New Brusnswick, New Jersey and in 1964 he choreographed a performance at the Hardware Poets Playhouse in New York.

During the 1950s and 60s, Kuehn worked as a roofer and iron worker on large scale construction sites.  Kuehn's experience as a construction worker was formative in the development of his work, and shaped his relationship to the physicality of raw materials.  Kuehn states,  "I once witnessed an accident on a construction site where concrete spilled when we were building a foundation.  The wood structure broke and concrete poured and poured out of the sides and bottom. I thought it was amazing.  I was struck by how this geometric structure collapsed and the concrete spilled out over the landscape.  I posit geometry as the expression of the ideal, the pinnacle of rational thinking, and a source of authority..."

Kuehn's work was included in the groundbreaking exhibition Eccentric Abstraction curated by Lucy Lippard in 1966 at the Fischbach Gallery in New York.  Considered the first Postminimal art exhibition, Eccentric Abstraction brought together artists including Eva Hesse, Keith Sonnier, and Bruce Nauman who were subverting the rigid hard-edge Minimalism that was dominant at the time.

Kuehn's work was also included in the seminal exhibition Live In Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form curated by Harald Szeemann  in 1969 at the Kunsthalle Bern, which traveled to Museum Haus Lange, Krefeld and Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, and was re-staged in 2013 at the Fondazione Prada, Milan.

In 1967 after seeing Kuehn's work at an exhibition at Bianchini Gallery in New York, Kuehn was invited to Kassel, Germany by the art dealer Rolf Ricke to create new work for Kuehn's first European solo exhibition, "Gary Kuehn: Zeichnungen und Mini-Objekte." This began a lifelong friendship and working relationship with Ricke and prompted Kuehn to live in Germany for several periods throughout the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. In 1977 Kuehn exhibited in Documenta 6, Kassel and in 1980 he was awarded the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) Fellowship in Berlin.

Gary Kuehn has held a teaching positions at the School of Visual Arts, New York and the Hochschule Fur Bildende Kunste in Braunschweig, Germany.  He taught for 40 years at Rutgers University and holds the title Distinguished Professor of Art Emeritus.His first museum retrospective "Between Sex and Geometry" opened at the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein in September 2014 followed by the 2018 retrospective exhibition "Practitioner's Delight" at the Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporane in Bergamo, Italy.  He is represented by Haeusler Contemporary Gallery in Munich and Zurich.

Work
His work is known for its fluid use of materials that undermined the psychology of dominant Minimal Art practices.    Using a straightforward and reduced formal language, Kuehn subverts pure geometric forms with content-driven, metaphorical concepts.  David Komary states, "The works seem like excerpts of a process, sequence, or chain of events that enacted through or by means of the given sculptural object.  Kuehn's focus is a concept of art that enables him to explore questions of geometry and form while also reflecting on and sculpturally negotiating aspects of expression, human experience, and self-perception.  His aesthetic approach is based on a certain idea about rationality- not in a formal or compositional sense but in a manner analogous to human and interpersonal experiences - which he understands as the relationship of objects to one another and their potential means of expression or attitudes."

Although Kuehn works with a wide range of materials, the unifying theme throughout his discursive practices is a tension between forms as evident in his Black Paintings and Melt Pieces.  In 1992 when he received the Francis J. Greenburger Foundation Award, George Segal wrote about the “rule-breaking” in Kuehn's work and said, “Artists [like Kuehn] who don’t fit comfortably into art historical categories have a terrible time.”  Kuehn's refusal to produce trademarked work explains why he was "unfairly sidelined by history" according to art historians such as Thomas Crow.

title: John A. Knauss

text:
John Atkinson Knauss (September 1, 1925 – November 19, 2015) was an American oceanographer, meteorologist and administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) from 1989 to 1993.

Knauss received a Bachelor of Science in meteorology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a Master of Science from University of Michigan in physics, and a Ph.D. in oceanography from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California. While a graduate student, he made the first comprehensive measurements of the Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent. Knauss's PhD dissertation focused on the Equatorial Undercurrent in the Pacific Ocean, also known as the Cromwell Current. In 1962 he was appointed dean of the graduate school of oceanography at the University of Rhode Island, where he served until 1987.

Knauss and Athelstan Spilhaus, dean at University of Minnesota and head of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Oceanography, worked to establish the National Sea Grant Program, cooperating with Senator Claiborne Pell, the sponsor of the National Sea Grant Program Act in 1966. The National Sea Grant College Program and Act was signed into law on October 15, 1966. The Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship, named in his honor, provides a unique educational and professional experience to graduate students who have an interest in ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources and in the national policy decisions affecting those resources, matching highly qualified graduate students with "hosts" in the legislative and executive branch of government located in the Washington, D.C., area, for a one-year paid fellowship.

He served on the Stratton Commission that led to the creation of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 1970, and from 1989 to 1993 was its administrator.

Knauss served as President of the American Geophysical Union from 1998 to 2000, and was awarded the Waldo E. Smith medal for "extraordinary service to geophysics" in 2006.

He resided in Saunderstown, Rhode Island and was professor emeritus at the University of Rhode
Island.  In 2015, he died after a period of declining health.

title: Congoli

text:
The congoli (Pseudaphritis urvillii), also known as the  freshwater flathead, marble fish, marbled flathead, sand trout, sanding, sandy, sandy whiting or tupong. is a species of marine ray-finned fish and it is the only species of fish in the monotypic family Pseudaphritidae and the genus Pseudaphritis.  It was initially classified as a member of the family Bovichtidae.

Taxonomy
The congoli was first formally described as Aphritis urvillii in 1832 by the French zoologist Achille Valenciennes but the name Aphritis was a junior synonym of the Diptera genus Aphritis named by Pierre André Latreille in 1805. The genus Pseudaphritis was described by the French zoologist Francis de La Porte Castelnau in 1872. The family Pseudaphritidae was first named by the Australian ichthyologist Allan Riverstone McCulloch in 1929. The Pseudaphritidae are the sister family of the Bovichtidae and Eleginopidae and these are all sister to the rest of the families in the Notothenioidei which have been placed in the suggested superfamily Cryonotothenioidea. Pseudaphritidae is one of two families of the suborder Notothenioidei with a primarily non-Antarctic distribution, the other being Bovichtidae. The congoli is the only species in its genus and family.

The genus name Pseudoaphritis is a compound of pseudo which means “false” and aphritis, a name which dates back to Aristotle, who used it for a type of anchovy or whitebait. Valenciennes originally used Aphritis as the name of the genus but this name was unavailable as Pierre Andre Latreille had used it for a fly genus Aphritis in 1804. Lev Berg proposed a replacement name, Phricus but this was a synonym of Castelnau's earlier Pseudaphritis. the specific name honours the explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville, leader of the Astrolabe expedition (1826- 1829), in the course of which type was collected. Gerorges Cuvier's Eleginus bursinus is a senior synonym of Pseudaphritis urvillii but has been disregarded due to the prevailing usage of P. urvillii.

Distribution and habitat
The congolli is found in fresh, brackish  and marine waters around south-eastern Australia, including Tasmania, and is endemic to Australia. It lives mostly in slow-moving waters of estuaries, rivers and streams. Water temperatures in its habitat range from . This fish will inhabit areas with log snags, overhanging banks, and leaf litter.

Between late April and August, it migrates south to estuaries and sea to breed.

In 2017, congolli were recorded in five rivers on Kangaroo Island in South Australia for the first time, thanks to a project conducted by Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR)  and carried out by a number of citizen science volunteers.

Tupongs have made a recovery in the Glenelg River in south-western Victoria, after years of absence.

Description
The congolli is a slender, mottled fish, with a silvery-white underside. Its head is slightly flattened, with eyes positioned towards the top and the snout is pointed. It has two separate dorsal fins. The colour varies according to where it lives: it may be bluish, purplish or reddish-brown, marbled with greenish-brown above, and a yellowish white to silvery colour below. Juvenile fish have black saddles on their dorsal surfaces.

The largest adult measured is about  long. Usually, adults grow up to  long.

Diet
The congolli is a carnivorous ambush predator, and feeds on insects (especially in freshwater), fish, crustaceans (especially in estuaries), worms, molluscs, and other invertebrates.

Behaviour
The congolli is an ambush predator that usually buries itself in the substrate.

Reproduction
Congolli are catadromous – they live in freshwater habitats as adults, and migrate downstream to estuaries to spawn. Adults migrate south to estuaries reproduce between late April and August. The larvae are carried out to sea, and slowly move upstream as they grow; the larger adults live furthest upstream.

Importance to humans
Aboriginal peoples living in the area used to eat Congolli, and the flesh is today considered "excellent eating". However the fish are rarely large enough and no longer important in commercial fishing, although once a minor part of lower Murray fisheries.

title: Alpnach Air Base

text:
The Air Base Alpnach (ICAO code LSMA) is a Swiss Air Force airfield near the town Alpnach in Canton of Obwalden in Switzerland. It has a concrete runway with a length of  and a width of , as well as several taxiways and hangars.

History
As early as 1929 there was a landing strip at Alpnach. It was expanded in 1939 to . In 1940 two wooden hangars were added and in September 1942, Flying Section 7 was based at Alpnach.  This is considered the official start of the airfield.

The first concrete runway was built in 1943 between Eichistrasse and Lake Alpnach. It had a length of . Furthermore, eight type U-43 aircraft shelters and bunkers for command and ammunition were built.

As part of the Swiss Reduitstrategie in 1952 aircraft caverns were built into the rock of the adjacent Mueterschwanderberg Mountain.  The former Mueterschwanderberg artillery fortress was also built into the mountain, but on the Nidwalden. In 1960, the cavern facility was officially handed over to the Directorate of Military airfields. Beginning in 1958, de Havilland DH-112 Venom jets operated from Alpnach. In 1973, they changed to the Hawker Hunter and in 1979 there was a further change to the F-5 "Tiger". Because of the Army XXI reforms, flight operations from the caverns were terminated. On 20 January 1964, the Army helicopter base opened at Alpnach.

There have been several extensions of the runway: 1952 to , and finally in 1959 to .

The Highway A8 at Alpnach was built so that it could be used as a takeoff and landing runway and was associated with temporary taxiways with the cavern. However, only take-off were made for safety reasons, the landings were made on the normal runway.

From 1947 to 1994, the 19th Squadron was stationed in Alpnach.

In 1994 the last Swiss Armed Forces training courses took place at Alpnach, and on 23 September 1995 the last Tiger F-5E left. In 2004, Air Base Alpnach was threatened with the closure of the airfield, but the Obwalden government successfully lobbied for the airfield.

In May 2012, began renovation work on Hangar 2 and 3 and the new building for the Hangar 4.

Today
Alpnach Air Base is the main logistical base of the helicopter of the Swiss Air Force. Standard helicopter types used at Air Base Alpnach are the Aérospatiale Super Puma, Eurocopter AS532UL Cougar Mk1 and Eurocopter EC 635.

Other uses
The RUAG Switzerland AG operates on the airfield a location for the maintenance of civil and military helicopter.
The airfield is used for various other uses. The runways may be used outside normal operating hours of the airport, for example by in-line skaters. A model airplane club uses the southern half of the airfield .

South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust, formerly South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust, manages four hospitals, Warwick Hospital, Stratford Hospital, Leamington Spa Hospital and Ellen Badger Hospital.

The trust agreed a package of support for the financially troubled George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust in August 2014 although its bid to take over the organisation was rejected.

In July 2017, it agreed to set up a "foundation group" to create twin Accountable care organizations with Wye Valley NHS Trust, though there does not appear to be any plan to merge the two trusts.

Performance

In October 2013, the trust was praised for spending more on food for in-patients - £14.04 per day than other trusts, and for lower rates of food wastage.

It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015.  At that time it had 3444 full-time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 4.14%. 73% of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 71% recommended it as a place to work.  The trust spent £11 million on agency staff in 2014/5.

It was rated ‘outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission in December 2019.

Stratford

Circle Clinic, attached to a GP practice in Stratford on Avon was established by Circle Clinics Limited in 2011 but in June 2014 it was announced that SWFT Clinical Services, a subsidiary of the Trust, was to take it over as Circle had stopped providing services at the clinic. SWFT Clinical Services was the first FT subsidiary company when it was set up in 2011, initially established so the trust could reclaim VAT charges on outpatient drugs, as Trusts can claim tax exemptions when entering into contracts with third parties to operate dispensaries.

In August 2014, it emerged that the Trust was exploring a number of projects to assist the struggling George Eliot Hospital.

The Trust developed Stratford Hospital with cancer and an eye ward built at the site of the existing hospital on Arden Street at a cost of £22 million.  This was partly financed by a Section 106 agreement with Coventry City Council, based on increased service demand from residents in new development, a £1,500 levy on each new dwelling in a large residential development. This is thought to be the first time such an agreement has been used by the NHS.

Primary Care
The trust signed a memorandum of understanding with South Warwickshire GP Ltd – a federation of 35 GP practices - in August 2015 with the intention to establish an accountable care organisation which would provide primary, community and acute care to the local population.

title: St James' Catholic High School, Stockport

text:
St. James' Catholic High School, also known as St James' RC High School, is a Catholic secondary school in Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester, England.

Description
St James' Catholic High School is smaller than the average size secondary school which became a specialist humanities college in 2004. It teaches ISCED Level 3 and 4, that is pupils between 11 and 16, there is no sixth form.  The majority of students come from White British backgrounds and very few students speak English as an additional language. The proportion of students known to be eligible for free school meals is below average. The school is a locally designated centre for students who have a physical disability; the proportion of pupils with a statement of special education needs is above average.

The school has achieved Healthy School Status and has Eco-Schools and International School awards.  In 2009 the school was recognised as a High Performing Specialist School and awarded Leading Edge School Status.

Academics
The school performs above the Stockport and National average in Progress 8 (0.31) and Attainment 8(54.8).

Ofsted praised the school in 2017, saying the school was good but the outcomes for the pupils were outstanding. They praised the school community, and the pupils eagerness to learn. The pupils felt safe and there was no bullying.

"This is an improving school. Pupils learn well and make excellent progress because teaching in English, mathematics and most other subjects is consistently good" Pupils, including the most able, are challenged by their work because the teachers have high expectations of them and plan work that is hard but appropriate for their ability.

In Key Stage 3, alternate year groups are taught German and French. In Key Stage 4, about a third of the year group study single sciences- while the majority do combined science.

Pastoral matters
The ethos of the school is ‘To educate and develop global Catholic citizens'. They do this by using their three main values of family, faith and excellence. The school's mission statement is: "To ensure everyone within our school family achieves their full potential, to encourage learning and development through faith, and to strive for excellence". Behaviour on the corridors and in class is "exemplary". Attendance overall is good in line with the national average. Pastoral managers check carefully on the reasons why individual pupils are absent. A small number of pupils with severe medical needs must often miss school to attend medical appointments and this depresses the published statistics.

Notable former pupils
 Chris Chantler, professional footballer who has played for Manchester City, Carlisle United and Kilmarnock.
 Jimi Mistry, Coronation Street actor who played Kal Nazir.
 Paul Bernard, professional footballer who played for Aberdeen

title: Lysaker Bridge

text:
The Lysaker Bridge ( or ) is a road bridge between Sollerud in Oslo and Lysaker in Bærum.

A road bridge has existed on the same location, at the outflux of the river Lysakerelva into Lysakerfjorden, for several hundred years. Lysaker became a traffic hub between the capital Oslo and its western surroundings after the Kongsberg Silver Mines were opened in 1624. In 1716, during the Great Northern War, it was the site of a Dano-Norwegian bombardment of Swedish troops who tried to cross the bridge.

A modern road (Drammensveien) was finished in 1859. In 1872 the Drammen Line railroad was constructed, creating its own bridge at the same location.

On the night between 13 and 14 April 1940 the bridge was the site of the Lysaker Bridge sabotage, arguably the first act of sabotage in Norway during World War II.

In August 1920 a traffic count put the number of private cars at 950. There were also 207 trucks, 227 motorbikes, 728 bikes, 365 caravans, 22 horse riders and 2,958 pedestrians. Today, only motorized vehicles are allowed as the bridge has become a part of European route E18.

Located on the border between the capital Oslo and the largest commuter district Bærum, the Lysaker Bridge has been vital to the rapidly expanding post-WWII car commuting in Greater Oslo. In 1990 it had an annual average daily traffic of about 100,000 cars, and was as such Norway's most trafficked bridge. This number had been about 10,000 in the late 1940s and 67,000 in 1970. In the 2000s the car count had risen to 170,000.

In 1961 the road was expanded to four lanes, two in each direction. Another major expansion followed in 1980. From March to June 1990 the bridge underwent another expansion from six to seven lanes, to the cost of .

title: Hôtel de Saint Fiacre

text:
The Hôtel de Saint Fiacre was an inn and tavern on Rue Saint-Martin in Paris. It was identified by its sign showing Saint Fiacre, from the 1640s its proprietor was known to operate fiacres (carriages for hire). Through this association Saint Fiacre has become the patron saint of taxi drivers.

In 1645, Nicholas Sauvage, proprietor in Paris of the coaches for Amiens, decided to set up a business in which horses and carriages were to be kept in Paris and rented out. He set himself up in the Hôtel de Saint Fiacre and rented out his four-seater carriages at 10 sols an hour. Within twenty years, Sauvage's idea had developed into the first citywide public transport system "les carossses à 5 sols" ("5-sol carriages"). The sign of the inn was known to display an image of the saint.

At halftime of LSU's 1934 final home game against Oregon, with the Tigers trailing 13–0, Long approached the team's locker room and demanded to speak with the team. Tired of Long's meddling with the team, Jones informed the Senator that he would quit after the game, "win, lose, or draw." The Tigers would come back and defeat the Ducks 14–13, and Jones would make good on his promise, leaving the program to coach the Oklahoma Sooners and later the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Bernie Moore, LSU's track and field coach, would take over the head football coach position. Moore had coached LSU to the NCAA track and field championship in 1933.  Both Jones and Moore would wind up being elected to the College Football Hall of Fame.

title: James Macartney (1692–1770)

text:
James Macartney (1692 – 24 March 1770) was an Irish politician.

He was the only son of James Macartney (died 1727), judge of the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland), and his second wife Alice Cuffe, daughter of Sir James Cuffe (died 1678). Through his maternal grandmother Alice Aungier he was coheir to the Earl of Longford.

He married Catherine, the third daughter of the eminent judge Thomas Coote and his third wife Anne Lovett, and niece of Richard Coote, 1st Earl of Bellomont. They had six children, two sons and four daughters, including :

Francis Macartney MP, who died in 1759, before his father, without issue
Coote, who died in 1748, without issue

title: Terrett Butte

text:
Terrett Butte, also called the Turret Buttes, are a prominent landmark on the east side of the Powder River in south-central Powder River County, Montana. They are better known today as the Turret Buttes because of their resemblance to a castle or gun turret.

History

The first time the buttes were mentioned in writing was on September 12, 1865, in the diary of Major Lyman G. Bennett, the chief engineering officer accompanying Colonel Nelson D. Cole's column of the Powder River Expedition.  Bennett wrote:

The buttes appear on maps from the 1880s and were likely named after a homesteading family whose last name was Terret or Terrett. From around 1915 until the 1940s a rural country schoolhouse called the Terret Butte School was situated along the east side of the Powder River below the buttes. During the mid-20th century, the buttes were located on the Swope Family Ranch. Between the early 1980s and 2005, the buttes were owned by Andrew L. Lewis Jr., the 7th United States Secretary of Transportation. Today they are a part of the Held Family Ranch.

Location

Terrett Butte is located on private land, about two hundred yards east of Powder River East Road South, about  southwest of present-day Broadus, Montana, in south-central Powder River County, Montana.

title: Kavach (anti-missile system)

text:
Kavach () is an anti-missile naval decoy system to distract radar-guided missiles from their targets and act as a system for self-defence. It was designed and developed by the Ordnance Factory Board for the Indian Navy.

Development
The Indian Navy previously procured chaff rocket systems from the Soviet Union. Supplies came to a halt following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. The Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) took up the challenge to design and develop a chaff rocket system to achieve self-reliance in this field.  OFB Director General and Chairman, D.M. Gupta, stated in May 2011 that the company had created two prototypes, successfully conducted the first trial, and would conduct a second and final trial later that year before the system was inducted into the Navy.

Design
The Kavach decoy system releases chaff made up of silver coated glass fiber. The chaff forms a clutter which remains suspended in the air, causing the incoming radar-guided missile to mistake the chaff for the actual target, and get locked onto the chaff instead of the actual target. Each Kavach rocket costs around –.

The Kavach system has chaff rockets of three different versions based on the range:
 Long Range:
 Medium Range:
 Short Range:
These versions are fired in different situations based on incoming threats.

Production
The first batch of Kavach rockets were formally handed over to the Navy on 25 May 2012 by the Ammunition Factory Khadki (AFK), Pune which manufactures the rockets, while the rocket launchers are manufactured at the Machine Tool Prototype Factory (MTPF), Mumbai.

AFK was contracted to deliver around 4,000 Kavach variants to the Indian Navy by 2015.

Operators
The first ship to be equipped with Kavach was the anti-submarine corvette INS Kamorta (P28). Ship classes fitted with Kavach include:

Kamorta-class corvettes
Kolkata-class destroyers
Shivalik-class frigates
Visakhapatnam-class destroyers

title: Madeira parakeet

text:
The Madeira parakeet (Pyrrhura snethlageae), also known as the Madeira conure is a species of parrot found in Brazil and Bolivia. It is found in the eastern and central Amazon basin south of the Amazon River and can be found in várzea forests. It prefers habitats with bamboo along waterways, it also enjoys clearings in dense forests.

Description
Madeira parakeets have white coverts on their ears. They have a cream upper breast with brown feather shafts. Their lower breast has yellow with green feather shafts. Their bill is brown and grey and they also have a yellow eye ring. The plumage of a juvenile is unknown.

Status
The species is classified as Least Concern because it has a large area in which it inhabits. Until 2021, the species was classified as Vulnerable because of its low population. The population of the Madeira parakeet is slowly decreasing at a steady rate.  Its habitat is at risk because the land is commonly used as housing and farmland.

title: Endymion Wilkinson

text:
Endymion Porter Wilkinson (born 15 May 1941) is an English diplomat and scholar who served as the European Union Ambassador to China and Mongolia from 1994 to 2001. He is particularly noted for Chinese History: A New Manual, the first version of which appeared in 1973, an authoritative guide to Sinology and Chinese history for which he was awarded the Prix Stanislas Julien for 2014. The 2022 revised and enlarged Sixth Edition (Fiftieth Anniversary Edition) consists of two volumes,  1.7-million-words, covering topics, primary sources, and scholarship from earliest times to 1976.

Early life and education
Wilkinson was born in the parish of Westmeston near Lewes, England, and educated at Gordonstoun School and King's College, Cambridge where he studied History and Oriental Studies (BA 1964; MA 1966). Shortly before graduation he was recruited by the Chinese government to teach English in Beijing at the Peking Institute of Languages. His two-year contract (1964–1966) ended just as the Cultural Revolution was beginning. From Beijing he went to Princeton University where he completed a PhD in 1970 under James T.C. Liu and Frederick W. Mote. This was later published as Studies in Chinese Price History.

Career
From 1970 to 1974, Wilkinson was lecturer in the History of the Far East at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (the official history of SOAS refers to him as "the most promising Sinologist of the early 1970s"). However, when he began teaching there he still felt unprepared. He did not know, he recalled many years later, what to tell his graduate students about the Zhou or Shang dynasties, about which he felt his knowledge would about "fill an eye dropper." As a research fellow at Harvard University in 1971, Wilkinson mentioned to John Fairbank, a senior Harvard scholar, that he was gathering notes on Chinese history. Fairbank offered to publish them, and the 1973 Research Guide appeared in due course. During these years he also translated two books from the Chinese: one popular (The People's Comic Book); the other, academic (Landlord and Labor in Late Imperial China).

While on academic study leave in 1974, he was asked by the European Commission to find the building and recruit the local staff for the EU's permanent diplomatic delegation to Japan. Shortly thereafter, he quit academe, joined the commission's External Relations Directorate General and was posted to Tokyo as First Secretary (Economic) during the intensification of EU-Japan trade frictions (1974–1979).

In 1980 he published Gokai 誤解 (Misunderstanding). In it he examined both sides of the trade frictions coin: were Japanese successes on US and European markets due to the fact that Westerners were lazy and ignorant about Japanese markets (in sharp contrast to the Japanese who were industrious and well-informed about the West), as many Japanese argued? Or was Japan deliberately keeping its markets closed and therefore operating with an unfair advantage (as many Westerners claimed)? For a brief period in the Summer of 1980 the book became the number one non-fiction best seller in Japan. It was also made into a four-hour TV documentary by TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System). The series was presented by Wilkinson and featured numerous interview subjects including French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss and Eugen Loderer, Chairman of IG Metall (the Union of German Metal Workers). The program also featured actors Alain Delon and Keiko Kishi. It was broadcast in Tokyo on 9–12 March 1980 and in the rest of Japan that April. Gokai was also published in new expanded editions in English, Italian, German, Chinese, and French. By 1992 it had sold a total of 250,000 copies. The book was well received not only in Japan but also in Europe and America: "This wry history of how each side has caricatured the other serves as an introduction to the topic which dominates relations today: trade. Neither side gets off lightly" wrote the Economist reviewer. The editor of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Jürgen Eicke suggested the book was "Essential for everyone in economic circles who has any contact with Japan." "Both well-informed and witty..." wrote Claude Levi-Strauss, "I learned a great deal from it and it gave me food for thought too." James Fallows, writing in the New York Review of Books, skipped the economic arguments and while praising Wilkinson's discussion of Japanese and Western images of each other, objected that his approach "pushes him toward the bizarre position of implying that the more often foreigners have observed a certain trait about Japan, the more likely it is to be false, not true."

In 1975 Wilkinson was sent by the European Commission to Beijing to make preparations for and participate in the talks between Christopher Soames and Zhou Enlai leading to the establishment of EU-China diplomatic relations. Wilkinson later served as head of the China desk in Brussels (1979–1982) and took part in many official talks in Beijing with China's most senior leaders. In 1981 he produced the blueprint for the forerunner of the China Europe International Business School. Between 1982 and 1987 he was DCM in the EU's Bangkok Delegation (covering most of the Southeast Asian countries). Before becoming a director of the European Commission and his appointment as EU Ambassador to China in 1994, Wilkinson served as head of the Southeast Asia and Asia divisions in the commission (1988–1994). Among his activities at this time was the launch of a $100 million program to provide loans to 170,000 Vietnamese boat people refugees to enable them to start businesses on returning to Vietnam.

As ambassador to China Wilkinson proposed and later oversaw the switching of the focus of EU grant aid to China from agricultural projects (notably the development of dairy farming) to all forms of education (notably the founding of the China Europe International Business School [CEIBS] in Shanghai). During his seven years as ambassador EU grant aid to China increased very substantially (to 250 million euro). Wilkinson also served as the deputy head under Pascal Lamy of the European Commission negotiating team for China's entry into the World Trade Organization.

After taking early retirement from the European Commission in 2001 Wilkinson lectured at Harvard (2001–2006), at Tsinghua University (2005), and at Peking University (2011–12). He has also been a visiting professor at Chinese Language and Culture University (1999–), and at Peking University (2001–2004; 2006–2014). He is currently an Associate in Research at the Fairbank Center, Harvard (2006–).

His main publications from 1998 have been progressive updates and expansions of his manual of Chinese history, of which, since the publication of the preliminary edition (titled Research Guide) in 1973, over 35,000 copies have been sold (including 13,000 copies of the Chinese-language edition). The Enlarged Sixth (Fiftieth Anniversary) edition appeared in two volumes in 2022.

Speeches and articles
Wilkinson has delivered more than 300 speeches on East and Southeast Asian current affairs at the UN and other international fora. In addition, he has also lectured at many universities. Since 2001 he has preferred to incorporate his research results into his book Chinese History: A New Manual rather than publish them separately. A few exceptions are shown below.

York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides services for a population of around 800,000 people living in and around York, North Yorkshire, North East Yorkshire and Ryedale, United Kingdom.

Facilities
The trust runs:
York Hospital
Scarborough Hospital
Bridlington Hospital
Malton Community Hospital
The New Selby War Memorial Hospital
Nelsons Court Inpatient Unit
St Monica's Easingwold
White Cross Court Rehabilitation Hospital

History
The York Hospital NHS Foundation Trust was established on 1 April 2007, and renamed York Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in 2010, following its links with Hull York Medical School (HYMS).

In October 2010, Scarborough and North East Yorkshire NHS Trust approached the trust, seeking assistance due to their financial misfortunes. On 1 July 2012 this deal was complete and Scarborough General Hospital became part of the York trust. With many departments merging between hospitals. This new larger organisation employs over 8,500 people.

From April 2011, with community-based services moving away from the primary care trust, the trust took over the management of some of the community nursing and specialist services in Selby, York, Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale.

In 2021 Rachael Maskell and Keep York Urgent Care Public, a staff group, denounced plans by the trust to outsource initial assessment, streaming and minor injury care in the A&E department to Vocare as privatisation.

On 1 April 2021 the trust changed its name to York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The name was chosen to better reflect the geographical area covered by the trust and to be more inclusive of all staff.

Performance

During 2010/11 the annual turnover for the hospital was £247m. More than 92% of the trust’s clinical income came from contracts with the Primary Care Trust.

The trust was one of 26 responsible for half of the national growth in patients waiting more than four hours in accident and emergency over the 2014/15 winter.

The trust broke from the national pay agreement in August 2015 by giving a 1% pay rise to its senior non-clinical staff - those earning above £57,069 - in line with the award for the rest of the staff. It spent £11.8m on agency staff in 2014/15.

In January 2016 the trust announced that it was expecting an unprecedented deficit of £11m on an annual budget of about £450m. All spending was to be deferred until April if possible.

In a survey of 242 hospitals in England it had the slowest responding telephone switchboard, with an average response time of 278 seconds.

In October 2017 it reported a £17.6m deficit and was reported to be "on the verge" of financial special measures as it expected to be unable to pay its bills by November 2017.

In 2022 the Care Quality Commission found there were “significant safety concerns about fundamental standards of patient care” at York hospital because “The service didn’t have enough nursing staff with the right skills, training and experience to keep patients safe and to provide the right care and treatment”.

title: Zipper (film)

text:
Zipper (also known as Reckless) is a 2015 American political thriller film written and directed by Mora Stephens and starring Patrick Wilson, Lena Headey, Dianna Agron, Richard Dreyfuss, Ray Winstone, and Penelope Mitchell. The film had its world premiere on January 27, 2015 at the Sundance Film Festival. The film was released on August 28, 2015, in a limited release in the United States and through video on demand by Alchemy. The film follows a federal prosecutor running for office who cannot stop himself from sleeping with high-class escorts, putting both his career and his personal life at risk.

Plot
Sam Ellis is a man on the rise—a hot-shot prosecutor on the cusp of a bright future. When an intern at the office becomes infatuated with him, Sam unwisely attempts to quiet his desires by seeing a high-class escort—only to discover that the experience is more fulfilling and exhilarating than he could have imagined. A second appointment with an escort soon follows, and a third, sending his once idyllic life spiraling out of control. In the midst of wrestling with his demons, he suddenly finds himself being groomed to run for the Senate—thrusting him into the public spotlight, and forcing him to take increasingly dangerous measures to keep the press, the law, and his wife off his trail.

Reception
Zipper has received negative reviews from critics, despite praise for Wilson's performance.  The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 20% rating, with a rating average of 4.38/10 based on 30 reviews. The website's critics consensus reads, "Patrick Wilson tries his best to elevate tawdry material, but Zipper is a morality tale that makes its points so clumsily that they inspire more unintentional laughter than thought." It has a score of 39% on Metacritic.

Jordan Hoffman of The Guardian gave the film 2/5 stars, saying, "What's ultimately frustrating about Zipper is that it seems like it has something important to say about infidelity and the sex industry, but can't decide what that should be." Kyle Smith of the New York Post called it a thinly veiled dramatization of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal and gave the film a negative review, saying that "The movie comes across as a not particularly compelling episode of "House of Cards," and Wilson's Southern accent is equally unconvincing." David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a negative review: "There's neither topicality nor bite in this bland pseudo-thriller, which lathers on composer H. Scott Salinas' high-suspense score like shower gel after sweaty sex, yet rarely musters an ounce of genuine tension." Another negative review from Geoff Berkshire of Variety said, "Tawdry but cripplingly self-serious, the second feature from Mora Stephens (a full decade after her little-seen, also politically themed debut Conventioneers) benefits from Patrick Wilson's committed star turn. Still, the awkward end product would inevitably struggle in theatrical venues, making it more advisable to play to the base and go straight to VOD and premium cable."

Despite having several negative reviews, Fred Topel from CraveOnline gave the film a positive review, with a score of 9.5/10, saying, "Zipper whips out the thrills… This year's Gone Girl… The grown-up thriller of the year."

Release
The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 27, 2015. Shortly after it was announced Alchemy had acquired distribution rights to the film.
The film was released on August 28, 2015, in a limited release and through video on demand.
