title: Gairdoch F.C.

text:
Gairdoch Football Club was a Scottish association football club based in the village of Carronshore, Stirlingshire.

History

The club was founded in 1886.  Its first competitive match was in the 1886–87 Stirlingshire Cup and was a 9–0 win over the Olympic club of Stirling, who blamed a new goalkeeper who "only stopped the shots that were going past".

Gairdoch was one of 35 new members to the Scottish Football Association in 1888, alongside Celtic.  The club entered the Scottish Cup from 1888–89 without any success - it lost its three ties in the main rounds and, once qualifying rounds had been introduced from 1891–92, never won through to the main competition.  The club got to the final preliminary round in 1892–93 and 1893–94, a 3–1 defeat by King's Park in the former year being the closest the club managed to winning through.

The club was however quite a force at a local level.  It surprised everyone by reaching the Stirlingshire Cup final in 1889–90, beating Alva 3–2 in the semi-final, all of the goals coming in the first half, and Alva's protest about rough play was dismissed.  Falkirk was far too strong in the final, at East Stirlingshire's Bainsford ground, 2,000 spectators seeing the Bairns stroll home 9–0.

The club also reached the final again in 1893–94, gaining a measure of revenge over Falkirk with a 3–2 semi-final win, nearly throwing away a 3–0 lead and only a last-minute goal-line clearance securing the win.  Having beaten final opponents East Stirlingshire in a friendly earlier in the season, Gairdoch was hopeful of winning the trophy, but the original tie at Brockville had to be postponed because of the cut-up state of the pitch, and the sides played a 70 minute friendly instead, E.S. winning 2–1, and the sides enjoying dinner together afterwards.  For the final itself, Gairdoch was handicapped by illness forcing it to make a change, and thanks to injuries to P. Rae and Honeyman, finished the match with 9 men; the Shire ended up winning 5–0.

The club's misfortune in finals continued in the Falkirk Charity Cup later that season.  Gairdoch gained revenge over East Stirlingshire in the semi-final and met Falkirk in the final; the game ended 0–0, with the Bairns having a goal disallowed for offside, but the replay at Camelon was one-way traffic, Falkirk repeating its crosstown rival's 5–0 win.

Gairdoch did however have one piece of good news at the end of the season, being elected to the Scottish Midland League in place of the moribund Bridge of Allan.  Unfortunately this came after East Stirlingshire and Falkirk had both been established as members, and both turned professional, thus enabling the clubs to take players from Gairdoch; in its two seasons of membership, Gairdoch finished bottom both times, only winning 3 matches in 30, one of which - a 5–2 win over Alloa Athletic - was the club's first match in the competition.  The club's final match in the competition was a 5–2 defeat to East Stirlingshire in May 1896; the club did not seek re-election at the end of the season.

Gairdoch did enter the Scottish Cup for 1896–97, but scratched to Alloa Athletic, and the formal end for the club was being struck from the local association's register in October.  The final indignity was having to face a claim from King's Park for wasted expenses for a cancelled match.  The Gairdoch name was kept alive by a Junior side.

Colours

The club originally played in broad black and white hooped shirts and white knickers.  In 1889 it changed to light blue jerseys and black knickers, the knickers later described simply as "dark" and the shirts from 1894 as royal blue.

Ground

The club's ground was originally named Grahamston.  From 1890 the location was given simply as Carronshore.  The ground was off Main Street to the north of the village, in the location now known as Gairdoch Park.

title: American Airlines Flight 1 (1936)

text:
American Airlines Flight 1 was a regularly-scheduled domestic passenger flight. On January 14, 1936, a Douglas DC-2 airliner, operating the flight that day on its then Memphis to Little Rock route, crashed 14 minutes after departure. All aboard, including 14 passengers and 3 crew, were killed. The cause of the crash remains undetermined. As of 2022, it remains the deadliest crash in Arkansas state history. It was the first of three fatal crashes during an operation of American Airlines Flight 1.

Aircraft

The aircraft was a Douglas DC-2-120, registered as NC14274. Its first flight was in 1934. The aircraft was known as the Southerner.

Passengers and crew

The flight was piloted by Captain Jerry Marshall and First Officer Glenn Freeland. Perla Gasparini was the only stewardess on board the plane. Also on board was William Reynolds Dyess, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) state administrator for Arkansas; Robert H. McNair Jr, the Work Progress Administration director of finance and reports for Arkansas; Frank C. Hart, a "millionaire oil man"; and 8 other passengers.

Accident

On Tuesday, January 14, 1936, at 7:04 p.m., the aircraft departed from Memphis Municipal Airport. The last contact with the flight crew was at 7:18 p.m. as the aircraft was heading towards Little Rock. The aircraft later crashed into a swamp near Goodwin, Arkansas, about two miles north of U.S. Highway 70, disintegrating on impact and killing all 17 people on board. The wreckage was scattered over 400 yards in four or five feet of water. The crash was the 7th hull loss and 5th fatal accident of the Douglas DC-2. At the time, it was the worst civil plane crash on U.S. soil.

Investigation

The U.S. Commerce Department appointed a board of inquiry led by Eugene T. Vidal to investigate the accident. At that time, there were different theories as to what happened on the aircraft, such as a piece of metal that appeared to have a bullet hole on it according to the Arkansas Gazette, or someone who may have hindered the pilot's actions while flying. On February 22, the board ruled out the possibility of a "purely mechanical failure". On March 7, the final report was issued and stated that flying at a low altitude, an interference with the pilots' sight by a passenger in the cockpit, the switching of an empty gas tank for a full one that may have caused a sudden drop into the tree line, and the First Officer being "momentarily confused due to some minor difficulty" if he was alone in the cockpit all may have contributed to the cause of this accident, but the probable cause or causes thereof cannot be determined.

Lawsuits

Due to the accident, at least three lawsuits were filed against American Airlines. The family of stewardess Perla Gasparini filed a federal lawsuit for undisclosed damages, the widow of crash victim Nathan Porter sued for $16,000 and the estate of Frank C. Hart settled a claim for $42,500.

title: Slamannan F.C.

text:
Slamannan Football Club was a Scottish association football club based in the village of Slamannan, Stirlingshire.

History

The club was founded in 1886, and was made up entirely of miners.

The club competed in the Scottish Cup for five seasons between 1886 and 1890 as well as the regional Stirlingshire Cup competition.  The club reached the second round of the national cup in four of its five entries, but never the third.

Slamannan's best run in the Stirlingshire Cup was in 1888–89, when it reached the final, but lost 7–0 to East Stirlingshire in the final at Victoria Park in Camelon.  The same season, Slamannan suffered its biggest Scottish Cup defeat.  Having beaten Grangemouth in the first round, the club drew 3–3 against King's Park in the second, surrendering a 3–1 lead in the last ten minutes of the game, but lost 13–1 away in the replay, the club's kick and rush style not working on a better quality pitch.

In 1890–91, the last time the club played in the Scottish Cup proper, the club looked like it had reached the third round for the first time, beating Clydebank 5–3, with all of the scores being registered in the same goal. However Clydebank protested that the goals had been the wrong height at one end  and the Bankies won the re-played tie.

The club had more problems with its ground later in the season, in the Stirlingshire Cup quarter-final with East Stirlingshire.  The first attempt at the tie saw the referee declare the pitch unplayable, and the clubs played out a 2–2 draw as a friendly instead.  The following week, on the morning of the re-scheduled game, Slamannan telegraphed East Stirlingshire and the referee to say the ground was in a worse condition, but East Stirlingshire and the referee attended regardless, and the referee declared the pitch playable.  As Slamannan had not turned up, E.S. claimed the tie, but, 40 minutes after the scheduled kick-off time, a Slamannan XI was asssembled and went 5–1 up with ten minutes to go, when the referee called the tie off for bad light.  The Stirlingshire FA ordered the tie to be played off again at Barnsmuir, E.S. this time winning the tie 4–3.

Slamannan did at least have the minor consolation of winning the Cowans' Cup, a four-team tournament presented by a furniture company to clubs in the Slamannan district.  Slamannan retained the trophy the following season but scratched to Slamannan Rovers in the tournament's final final.

From 1891–92, the Scottish Football Association introduced preliminary rounds, and the club never reached the first round proper again.  In the 1891–92 Stirlingshire Cup, the club lost in the first round to Slamannan Rovers, and the club stopped entering the competition.

From 1896 to 1898 the club became a Junior club so was ineligible for the senior competitions; in 1898, the club returned to Senior football, and entered the new Scottish Qualifying Cup; however it scratched in 1899–1900 before playing a tie, lost 7–0 to Clackmannan in 1900–01, and in 1901–02 scratched when drawn against the Wee County again.  The club had reached the semi-final of the Stirlingshire Cup in 1898–99, and lost to Falkirk Amateurs in the final of the Consolation Cup, but it did not play in the competition afterwards.

The club seems to have ceased operations that season, and was struck off the Scottish FA's register in April 1902.

Colours

The club wore the following;

1886–87: scarlet and royal blue jerseys with white knickers
1887–88: black, scarlet, and blue hooped jerseys with white knickers
1888–90: red and white vertical striped shirts with blue knockers
1891–99: white shirts, blue knickers

Ground

The club's first ground was West Limerigg Park.  In 1889 it moved to Castleburn Park at Barnsmuir.

West Limerigg was described as "peculiar", being more of cinder than grass, its shape dictated by a right of way running through it, and difficult to reach, requiring a 9 mile wagon journey from Falkirk railway station.

title: 83rd New York Infantry Regiment

text:
The 83rd New York Infantry Regiment, the "Ninth Militia," "Ninth Infantry National Guard," or "City Guard", was an infantry regiment of the Union Army during the American Civil War.

Service
The 9th New York State Militia was not called up, but organized in New York City as a regiment of volunteers under Col. Michael M. van Beuren. The regiment left the state in May, 1861 under the leadership of Col. John W. Stiles and served at Washington, DC, mustering in to federal service there in June; in several different commands until August; in the Army of the Potomac from October; in 5th Corps, from March, 1862; in 3d Corps, Army of Virginia, from June; and in 1st Corps, Army of Potomac, from September. In May 1863, the three years' men of the 26th Infantry were transferred in.  The regiment served again in 5th Corps, Army of Potomac, from March, 1864, and was honorably discharged and mustered out at New York City in June, 1864; men not entitled to be mustered out were transferred to the 97th Infantry.

The 83rd served along the Potomac River in Maryland and at Harper's Ferry. In the spring of 1862 the regiment was stationed near Warrenton, Virginia and along the Rappahannock River; it participated in General John Pope's Virginia campaign, losing 75 men at the Battle of Second Bull Run. At South Mountain and Antietam, Confederate forces heavily engaged the 83rd, costing 114 at Antietam. The regiment lost even more at Fredericksburg—125 killed, wounded or missing—among whom was the severely wounded Colonel Hendrickson. The regiment spent the winter of 1862-3 at Falmouth, Virginia, and was not threatened during Chancellorsville, but played an important part at Gettysburg in the capture of Iverson's North Carolina brigade. Coming south, the regiment was stationed at Hagerstown, Maryland, and Liberty, Virginia; the 83rd camped near Brandy Station, Virginia, in the early winter of 1863-4. It served during the Wilderness campaign, where Colonel Moesch was killed and 128 men were reported killed, wounded or missing. The 83d was named as one of the "three hundred fighting regiments."

Total strength and casualties
The total enrollment of the regiment was 1,413 members; during its service the regiment lost by death; killed in action, 8 officers, 103 enlisted men; of wounds received in action, 1 officer, 52 enlisted men; of disease and other causes, 2 officers, 89 enlisted men; total, 11 officers, 244 enlisted men; aggregate, 255; of whom 16 enlisted men died in the hands of the enemy.

title: Leonard Stöckel

text:
Leonard Stöckel (also spelled as Stöckl or Stöckelius, ; 1510–1560) was a Lutheran teacher, theologian, writer, humanist and an influential reformer.

Early life and education
Stöckel was born in 1510 in the  royal free city of Bártfa (Bardejov), where his father worked as a blacksmith and also served in the city council. He began his studies in his hometown under the guidance of Valentin Eck, himself a follower of renaissance humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam. Subsequently, he was sent to Kassa (Košice) where Leonard Cox taught that time.

In 1530 Stöckel enrolled at the University of Wittenberg and became a student of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon. During his stay in Wittenberg, Stöckel developed close ties with both of them and he also worked as a private tutor in Luther's birth town Eisleben (1533–1536). Stöckel remained in Saxony until 1539, when he returned to Hungary and became the rector of the school in his hometown Bártfa.

Reformation in Hungary
Stöckel immediately re-organized the school system in evangelical spirit and in 1540 he introduced new school laws (Leges scholae Bartphensis). His actions soon lifted the school to the level of those excellent German ones and attracted students from far and wide.

Stöckel's return also saw the influence and reach of Lutheran ideas in Upper Hungary to grow significantly. He became an influential reformer, reached an agreement between the five most important royal free cities in Upper Hungary, the so-called Pentapolitana, and won them for the Reformation. Based on the Augsburg Confession of Melanchthon (1530), Stöckel wrote his own Lutheran confession, the Confessio Pentapolitana, that was adopted by the Pentapolitana members in July 1549. The Confessio Pentapolitana was recognized by King Ferdinand I in 1549 and confirmed again in 1558. In 1560 it was recognized as the only creed on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church by Nicolaus Olahus, Primate of Hungary as well.

title: Martim Francisco Ribeiro de Andrada

text:
Martim Francisco Ribeiro de Andrada (9 April 1775 – 23 February 1844) was a Brazilian politician who played a leading role in the declaration of Brazil's independence and in the government during the years that followed. He was twice Minister of Finance.

Early years
Martim Francisco Ribeiro de Andrada was born in Santos, São Paulo on 9 April 1775.
At the time Santos was just a village. His parents were Colonel José Bonifácio Ribeiro de Andrada and Maria Bárbara da Silva. His brothers were Antônio Carlos and José Bonifácio de Andrada.
He attended the University of Coimbra in Portugal, where he received degrees in philosophy (1797) and mathematics (1798). He earned a PhD in Natural Sciences. At the university he worked with the friar José Mariano de Conceição Vellozo, a naturalist, in translating works on mineralogy and agriculture.

After returning to Brazil, Ribeiro de Andrada was appointed inspector general of mines in São Paulo state.
He traveled extensively in São Paulo  in this role, making and recording many scientific findings.
In this he was accompanied by his brother José Bonifácio and Lieutenant General Carlos Antônio Napion.
In 1820 he and his brother made a tour of the province of São Paulo to find gold deposits.
The same year he was appointed secretary and vice president of the provisional government of the province of São Paulo.
After the decree of 29 September 1821 had been issued, aiming at again making Brazil a colony of Portugal, he and his brother José Bonifácio contributed to a patriotic proclamation on 24 December 1821.

In January 1822 Martim's brother José was in the Court of Rio de Janeiro, then the principal city of Brazil, involved in the public administration and promoting independence.
The Portuguese loyalists still dominated, but ill-judged acts of the court had started to create discontent.
In the province of São Paulo General João Carlos managed to stamp out moves towards constitutional freedom.
Martim was dismissed from the provisional government of São Paulo and sent as a prisoner to the Court of Rio de Janeiro.

First cabinet of the Empire

Martim was appointed Secretary of State of Business and Finance from 4 July 1822 to 28 October 1822 in the first cabinet of the Empire of Brazil.
Martim was dismissed on 28 October 1822 and reinstated as Minister of Finance on 30 October 1822.
His brother José Bonifácio was restored as premier with the mandate of centralizing the union and preventing disorders. This first ministry was marked by a power struggle between José Bonifácio Ribeiro de Andrada and the Freemason group led by Joaquim Gonçalves Lêdo. Martim found that the Treasury of the new Empire of Brazil had no money, since King John VI had taken everything of value back to Portugal when he left the country.

Martim Ribeiro de Andrada followed a nationalist policy in which he taxed imports, particularly from Portugal.
On 30 December 1822 he signed a decree imposing a 24% duty on foreign manufactures other than those from England.
Although the state was short of funds after the struggle for independence, Ribeiro de Andrada refused to resort to foreign loans, which he distrusted.
Instead he established a ten-year compulsory loan secured by the income from the state of Rio de Janeiro, an unusual measure at the time.
He obtained popular support by promising to transform Brazil from a land of slavery to one of freedom.
He reorganized the tax system and by decree of 4 February 1823 created the administration to oversee taxes on products such as coffee and tobacco.

Opposition and exile
The energy of the Andrada brothers in this turbulent time made them enemies, and the first ministry fell on 17 July 1823.
Out of power, the Andradas became strong voices of the opposition.
Martim Ribeiro de Andrada was elected for the province of Rio de Janeiro to the General Constituent and Legislative Assembly of the Empire of Brazil.
He was a strong and sometimes passionate speaker. He was chairman of the Assembly for the month of October 1823.

On 12 November 1823 the Emperor dissolved the Assembly in an event known as the "Night of Agony". The three Andrada brothers and other former deputies were arrested and imprisoned until 20 November, when they and their families embarked for Le Havre, France as exiles.
In his absence, Martim Francisco and Antônio Carlos Ribeiro de Andrada were accused of sedition.
In 1828 the court began the trial that would lead to their acquittal of the sedition charge. The two returned to Rio de Janeiro, where they were imprisoned on the Ilha das Cobras.
On 6 September 1828 they were absolved of the charges and freed from prison.

Return to power
In 1830 Martim Ribeiro de Andrada declined to become a counselor to the Emperor, who was struggling to maintain his position.
He was elected deputy for the province of Minas Gerais for the term 5 May 1830 to 10 June 1833.
He was President of the Chamber of Deputies from 4 May 1831 to 2 July 1831.
He was a deputy for São Paulo from 3 May 1836 to 18 October 1841.
Ribeiro de Andrada represented his home town of Santos in the Assembly.

On 23 July 1840 the Empire of Brazil was restored after a period of anarchy and minority rule. Martim Francisco and Antônio Carlos Ribeiro de Andrada were appointed to the Council of the Crown by the Emperor Pedro II of Brazil.
Martim was Secretary and Minister of State for the Finance Department in the first Cabinet of the 2nd Empire, from 24 August 1840 to 23 March 1841. The country was in financial difficulties, but he was confident that it would recover and called for foreign loans to cover the deficit.
Martim Ribeiro de Andrada was again President of the Chamber of Deputies from 25 April 1842 to 2 January 1843.
He was a counselor to the Emperor and a member of the Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute.

Martim Francisco Ribeiro de Andrade died in Santos on 23 February 1844 aged 68.
A Brazilian biography of 1861 said his name would live in the memory of his grateful homeland as long as civic virtue is honored and patriotism deserves worship.
"He was one of the most devoted apostles of our freedoms, one of the great workers for our independence."

Family

Ribeiro de Andrade married his niece Gabriela Frederica, daughter of Jose Bonifacio de Andrada e Silva, in Santos on 15 November 1820. They had three sons.
Martim Francisco Ribeiro de Andrada II (born 1825) was deputy for São Paulo, Minister of Foreign Affairs (1866) and president of the Chamber of Deputies during the Second Empire (1882). José Bonifácio the Younger (born 1827) was a writer, senator of the Empire of Brazil and Minister of the Navy of Brazil.
Antônio Carlos Ribeiro de Andrada (born 1836) was deputy for Minas Gerais in the House (1885) and Senator of the Constituent State (1891).
Their two daughters were Maria Flora de Andrada and Narcisa de Andrada.

title: Redding Athletic F.C.

text:
Redding Athletic Football Club was a Scottish association football club based in the village of Redding, Stirlingshire.

History

The club was founded in 1886.  By this time there were a dozen senior clubs in Stirlingshire and Redding was the smallest village to host a club.  The club did enter the 1887–88 Scottish Cup, and lost 4–3 to Grahamston in the first round.  Redding had a reprieve when Grahamston was disqualified for playing two non-registered players, but it was a mixed blessing - in the second round, Redding was dismantled 17–0 at home to Camelon.

Its first entry to the Stirlingshire Cup in 1887–88 ended in the first round, 5–3 at home to Vale of Bannock.  The club's treatment of its visitors showed that the attempt at senior status was far too ambitious; the gate for the tie was 9s 10d, suggesting that the paying attendance was around 20, and the club made a loss on the tie, having to pay 5s to the referee for travel costs and having incurred 5s in futile publicity for the tie.  Redding's finances were in such straits that the Vale paid a penny towards the deficit.

In fact there is no record of the club having ever won a match against another senior side.  The "home and home" fixtures with Laurieston in 1887–88 ended in 10–2 and 12–0 defeats.  Even the Camelon reserve side beat the Athletic 6–1 at the start of 1888–89.

This run of results may have persuaded the club to scratch from its first round tie in the Scottish Cup against Gairdoch.  It did however play in the Stirlingshire Cup in 1888–89, but it suffered another hammering, this time 15–1 in its first round tie at King's Park; the Athletic held out for 20 minutes, but was well behind before Gow scored an unexpected consolation.

As bad as these defeats were, the club suffered the worst possible tragedy on 23 February 1889, in a friendly against Southfield of Slamannan.  Robert Whyte, a 23 year old player, suffered a kick to the abdomen, and retired to the dressing-room to rest.  On the Sunday, it was noticed that his injury was more serious than thought, and he was taken for further medical care.  Sadly, two days later, Whyte died.

This may have been the club's final match as there are no reports afterwards.  Redding's short and tragic existence ended before the 1889–90 season, when the Scottish Football Association struck it from the roll for non-payment of subscriptions.  The name was revived for a couple of pre-season five-a-side competitions in 1890 and 1891.

Colours

The club wore black and blue hooped shirts with white knickers.

Ground

The club's ground was originally at Broomfield Park. In 1888 the club moved to Meadow Park.

title: Edward Ott

text:
Edward Ott (born 22 December 1941) is an American physicist most noted for his contributions to the development of chaos theory.

Ott was born and grew up in New York City. He attended Stuyvesant High School, received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from The Cooper Union, and his Ph.D. in electrophysics from The Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1967. Following receipt of his Ph.D., he was an NSF postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics of Cambridge University. He then joined the faculty of the department of electrical engineering at Cornell University. Since 1979 he has been a faculty member jointly in the department of physics and the department of electrical engineering at The University of Maryland, with the current titles of distinguished university professor, and Yuen Sang and Yuen Kit So Professor. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2022.

Research areas

Prior to his work on chaos and complex systems, Professor Ott had done extensive research in the field of plasma physics. His work on chaos theory and complex systems covers many areas. Some examples are the following:
 chaotic scattering (including the onset of chaotic scattering as a system parameter is varied and the characteristics of the accompanying fractal structure);
 fast magnetic dynamos in chaotic flows (addressing the origin of magnetic fields in planets, stars and galaxies);
 chaotic transport in Hamilton dynamical systems (in which an effective Markov model was introduced to study anomalous transport resulting from the complex scaling structure of proliferating KAM islands);
 fractal basin boundaries (demonstrating how they come about and how they present a barrier to prediction);
 communicating with chaos (in which it was shown that chaotic systems could be controlled to follow orbits whose time variation could be tailored to convey information);
 transitions of the dynamics of chaotic systems with variation of a system parameter (notably his work on "blow-out bifurcations" for systems with chaos on an invariant manifold [e.g., as in synchronization of chaotic systems] and his work introducing the concept of "crises" in which there are abrupt structural changes in chaotic dynamics characterized by scaling behavior of chaotic transients characterized by critical exponents);
 quantum chaos (e.g., his work on the effect of noise on the dynamical version of Anderson localization of the quantum evolution of classically chaotic kicked systems);
 weather forecasting (particularly his work devising new ways of assimilating measured data for state estimation of large spatiotemporally chaotic systems); and
 the dynamics of large networks of interacting units (e.g., the so-called Ott-Antonsen ansatz for analyzing systems of many interacting oscillators).

In what is perhaps Ott's most well-known contribution, he and his colleagues Celso Grebogi and James A. Yorke introduced the concept of controlling chaos. In particular, they have shown that dynamics on a chaotic attractor can be controlled by using only small perturbations. The key idea in this work is that embedded within a chaotic attractor there are typically an infinite number of unstable periodic orbits, any one of which can be stabilized by a small control (the O.G.Y. method), and that, by properly choosing which orbit to stabilize, enhanced performance can be achieved. As part of its 50th anniversary celebration, the journal, Physical Review Letters, selected this paper as one of its milestone publications.

title: Fablok TKh49

text:
The Fablok T3A also known as TKh49 or Ferrum 47 / 724 is a class of Polish steam industrial tank locomotive. It was built by Fablok in 1948-1961 years.

History

The locomotive is based on a draft from the years 1927-1929; seven locomotives of the factory designation T1A, basing upon Austrian license, were built by Fablok then. Its development with a superheater was Fablok T2A (Ferrum 29 or Tkh29), of which eleven were built before World War II. The name Ferrum came from Ferrum Ironworks, for which it was developed. The technical documentation survived until after World War II and ten more T2A were manufactured. Due to big need of industrial locomotives in looted post-war Poland, it was decided to develop it into a simplified class of locomotive, factory name T3A or Ferrum 47, from 1947 year. Among other it lacked a superheater. At least 437 examples were made in the years 1948 - 1961, including 30 to China, 3 to Romania and 3 to Hungary. Some factory records indicate 480 locomotives made, but details are not confirmed. Later production locomotives, with more welding adopted, were referred to as Ferrum 724. In China the locomotives were designated as XK 13 and several examples of the class were reported to be working in 1993, with at least three preserved thereafter.

These locomotives worked exclusively in industry, like coalmines, ironworks, chemical works, and were usually designated with TKh prefix, meaning 0-6-0T freight locomotives in Polish State Railways  designation system, merged with serial numbers. Only in 1996 one locomotive was acquired by the Polish State Railways (PKP) for its museum depot in Chabówka, and formally designated as PKP class TKh49, namely TKh49-1, thus being the newest PKP steam locomotive.

Preservation

The locomotive TKh49-1 is preserved at the Museum of Vehicles and Railway Technology in Chabówka, whilst thirteen more are in other museums or as monuments. Several are in working condition. After industrial service, several locomotives have been exported to the United Kingdom for use on heritage railways as detailed below.

title: Diplomatic gift

text:
A diplomatic gift is a gift given by a :diplomat, politician or leader when visiting a foreign country. Usually the gift is reciprocated by the host. The use of diplomatic gifts dates back to the ancient world and givers have competed to outdo each other in the lavishness of their gifts. Examples include silks given to the West by the Byzantines in the early Middle Ages, the luxury book, and panda diplomacy by the Chinese in the twentieth century.

The Middle Ages
In 757 Byzantine emperor Constantine V gave Pippin III of Francia a mechanical organ intended to indicate the superiority of Byzantine technology.

Early modern diplomacy

Ottoman Empire
Gift giving was an important part of the culture of the Ottoman Empire and of British-Ottoman relations. Ottoman diplomatic practices were mainly geared towards establishing Ottoman superiority in any foreign relations, and the exchange of gifts reinforced that view of "universal empire" that governed the bombastic diplomatic rhetoric of the empire.

The memoirs of James Porter criticize the submission of the foreign ambassadors to Ottoman rulers:

"Whoever is acquainted with the Oriental practice, and knows the ostentation, pride, and haughtiness of the Turkish government, must know that they look upon, and consider such presents as actual tributes."

The role of gift giving in establishing diplomatic relations is seen in the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire. First the queen sends gifts of tribute called pışkeşleri and with the acceptance of those gifts hedaya hayr-ı kabulda formal relations should be established. This culture was associated with corruption and bribery, and was essential to maintaining diplomatic relations. Baron Paget once said "If we can't find money to give the ministers their usual presents ... we who have ever passed with an esteem superior to all other nations shall make ourselves the most contemptible." Similar observations were made by Henry Grenville:

"money is the supreme mover of all measures in this corrupt, irregular, ill-conducted government; however that might reflect upon a Christian state, it carries no infamy with it here."

England and Scotland
When Anne of Denmark came to Scotland in May 1590 she was accompanied by diplomats who attended her coronation and assessed the value of the lands and palaces granted to her by James VI. The goldsmith Thomas Foulis provided gold chains as diplomatic gifts for Peder Munk and the other Danish envoys. Foulis made four gold chains for ambassadors attending the baptism of Prince Henry in 1594, those given to Christian Bernekow and Steen Bille of Denmark were heavier and more costly than those given to Adam Crusius from Brunswick and Joachim von Bassewitz from Mecklenberg.

Diplomats brought gifts from the monarchs they represented and were typically given presents for themselves when they left, often at an audience ceremony known as "taking leave". A French ambassador at the court of James VI and I, Christophe de Harlay, Count of Beaumont, was rumoured to have caused offence by unexpectedly requesting valuable gifts. John Chamberlain wrote that Beaumont had blotted his reputation by "mechanicall tricks" when he left England, by asking for a greater gift of silver plate, receiving two horses and "pictures great and small with jewells", with gifts from English noblemen of his acquaintance. By "mechanical", Chamberlain means conduct unworthy of the diplomatic class.

Exchequer records give some detail of the gifts given to Beaumont. The goldsmiths William Herrick and Arnold Lulls were paid £459 in October 1606 for "two pictures of gold set with stone" which Anne of Denmark had given to Beaumont and his wife Anne Rabot, the portrait miniatures mentioned by Chamberlain. Sir Robert Cecil gave Beaumont portraits of himself and his father William Cecil painted by John de Critz which cost him £8.

A Spanish ambassador involved in the negotiations for the Treaty of London in 1604, Juan Fernández de Velasco, Constable of Castile, commissioned jewels in Antwerp as gifts to distribute at the English court. Against the current custom in Antwerp he tried to buy the jewellery on a sale-or-return basis and was flatly refused. Velasco gave jewels to prominent figures in the houseshold of Anne of Denmark who seemed likely to promote the Catholic cause. Lady Anna Hay received a gold anchor studded with 39 diamonds, and Jean Drummond an aigrette or feather jewel studded with 75 diamonds, both pieces supplied by a Brussels jeweller Jean Guiset.

Nineteenth century
After the Congress of Vienna (1814–15), Rundell, Bridge, and Rundell, goldsmiths to the British royal family and government, prepared 22 snuff-boxes to a value of 1000 guineas each to be given as diplomatic gifts.

In the mid 19th century, the Chinese diplomat Qiying gifted intimate portraits of himself to representatives from Italy, Great Britain, the United States, and France as part of treaty negotiations with the West over control of land and trade in China after the First Opium War.

Twentieth century

When he was the US Secretary of State, James Baker accepted a shotgun from the Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union, Eduard Shevardnadze.

Missteps
Diplomatic gifts have the potential to seal international friendships, but also to be rebuffed, to seem mismatched, or to accidentally send the wrong message. Taiwan rejected the People's Republic of China's offer of a panda. A 2012 gift of a "British" table tennis table to President Obama seemed ideal until it was revealed that it was designed in Britain but made in China, evoking worries about the decline of British manufacturing industry.

title: Charles Francis Keary

text:
Charles Francis Keary (29 March 1848 – 25 October 1917) was an English scholar and historian. His later work as a novelist influenced the modernist writer James Joyce. However, the English novelist George Gissing read four of Keary's works, including three novels, in the first 31 days of 1896, and found the novel Herbert Vanlennert, "a long, conscientious, uninspired book".

Early life
Charles was born in Trent Vale on 29 March 1848, to a Galway Irish family which had settled in the industrial Midlands borough of Stoke-on-Trent. He was the son of William Keary, who in 1874 would become Stoke-on-Trent's first mayor. He was schooled at Marlborough College and took his degree at Trinity College, Cambridge.

Specialisms
Keary then became fascinated by Scandinavian history and primitive mythology, then a promising new academic field, and wrote a number of scholarly books on such topics: The Vikings in Western Christendom (1890) stood as a standard work for many decades. He also became expert on Norway and the Norwegians, and knew many poets and writers there.

Keary worked from 1872 to 1887 at the Department of Coins at The British Museum in London, where he wrote and published A Catalogue Of English Coins In The British Museum: Anglo-Saxon Series (1887) with Herbert Appold Grueber, and contributed scholarly articles on coins to numismatic journals. Keary was awarded the Medal of the Royal Numismatic Society in 1894. During his time at the British Museum he was the best friend of Francis Ysidro Edgeworth, the Anglo-Irish philosopher.

Literature
Keary then turned from coins and history to ambitious literary novels, influenced by the Russian novelists of the time. These works were unusual, using a lack of conventional structure in an attempt to suggest the chaos of reality, allied to close observation and a dispassionate approach to character. His novel The Two Lancrofts (1893) follows literary life from Oxford University to the Paris of Balzac and Zola. Herbert Vanlennart (1896) rested on his tour of India, which he had written up in the short travel book India: Impressions (1903). His later novel Bloomsbury (1905) drew on his experiences amid the "curious neurotic intellectualism" (The Spectator review, 8 April 1905) of London literary circles in the Bloomsbury of the late 1880s and early 1890s. At that time, under the pseudonym H. Ogram Matuce, he published a radically impressionistic prose work, The Wanderer: From the papers of the late H. Ogram Matuce (1888). In a 4 September 1909 Spectator review of his later novel The Mount, it is remembered that "for some of us the publication of Mr. C. F. Keary's The Wanderer over twenty years ago was an event."

Keary tried the then-fashionable form of verse drama, with The Brothers: a Fairy Masque (1902) and Rigel: a Mystery (1904), and moved with more success into philosophy with The Pursuit of Reason (Cambridge University Press, 1910). After an untimely death from a heart attack in London on 25 October 1917, one further book appeared: The Posthumous Poems of C. F. Keary (1923). However, the timing of his death, amid the full clamour of World War I, hastened his slide into almost total obscurity.

His collection of short works with weird and horrific elements, Twixt Dog and Wolf (1901), is known to have influenced James Joyce's novel Dubliners (1905) – as evinced in a letter from Joyce dated 24 September 1905. Twixt Dog and Wolf was described by fantasy historian Douglas A. Anderson as containing "literary weird fiction of a high order."

Music
Keary wrote the libretto for the opera Koanga (1904) by the composer Frederick Delius, with whom he had detailed discussions, but the collaboration was short and fraught, and led to no further work between them. Keary based on Delius the character Sophus Jonsen in his novel The Journalist.

Keary's sister was the Staffordshire folklorist and folk-song collector Alice Annie Keary, a close friend of the major folklorist Charlotte Sophia Burne. Keary himself travelled in Europe and dabbled there in folk-song collecting, publishing articles such as "Roumanian Peasants and their Songs".

The University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice, commonly known as Penn SP2, is a school of social policy and social work in the United States whose vision is "The passionate pursuit of social innovation, impact and justice." The School was founded in 1908 and is a graduate school of the University of Pennsylvania. The School specializes in research, education, and policy development in relation to both social and economic issues. Penn SP2 is currently ranked as one of the leading schools for social policy and social work graduate education. SP2 offers degrees in a variety of subfields of social policy and social work, in addition to several dual degree programs and sub-matriculation programs.

History
SP2 has long been known for its commitment to social justice and educating students committed to taking an active role in fighting oppression. It began in 1908 when a “Course of Training in Child Helping” was developed under the direction of the Children’s Bureau of Philadelphia. Carl Kelsey was a consulting director in the 1908-09 academic year, and his colleague, James P. Lichtenberger, had full control in 1909-10. At the time, Kelsey and Lichtenberger were the only Sociology faculty members at the University. They co-taught the two-year, core course, “Theory of Sociology,” as well as “American Race Problems,” “Social Debtor Classes,” “Standards of Living,” and “Sociological Field Work." In 1910, the School greatly expanded. Its “Committee of Direction” was increased to fifteen members and its faculty, including group instructors, to sixteen.

In 1914, the School changed its name to the Pennsylvania School for Social Service. In 1918, Virginia P. Robinson was named Supervisor of Field Work and, within a year, Associate Director of the School. Over the next thirty-five years, Robinson twice served as acting head of the School. In 1919, Kenneth L.M. Pray joined the School's faculty and became the School’s first full time Director in 1922, and later became Dean in 1935. Jessie Taft also joined the faculty in 1919. Taft was an educational theorist and practitioner in psychiatric social work who was then Director of the Mental Hygiene Clinic at the Seybert Institution. Working closely with the world-renowned psychiatrist Otto Rank, she developed the “functional school” of social work, the philosophy which guided the School for fifty years.

In 1933, the School was renamed the Pennsylvania School of Social Work, and in 1935 the Trustees approved the formal affiliation of the School with the University. In 2005, the School changed its name to the School of Social Policy and Practice to reflect the inclusion of graduate programs in policy, leadership, and philanthropy, as well as expanded joint degree programs in public health, bioethics, government administration, and criminology.

Programs
SP2 offers five degree programs: Master of Social Work (MSW), Master of Science in Nonprofit Leadership (MSNPL), Master of Science in Social Policy (MSSP), Clinical Doctorate in Social Work (DSW), and PhD in Social Welfare and eleven dual degree programs.

title: 2014 Taba bus bombing

text:
The 2014 Taba bus bombing was a terrorist attack on a tourist coach in Taba, Egypt on 16 February 2014. The bus had been parked, waiting to cross into Israel at the Taba Border Crossing, when a lone suicide bomber entered the open bus and detonated his explosives. Four people – three South Koreans and the Egyptian bus driver were killed, and 17 others injured.

The attack was seen as marking a potential shift in the strategy of jihadist groups in the Sinai insurgency by broadening their campaign against Egyptian security forces to include tourists.

Victims
The bomber detonated his device on a tour bus carrying more than 30 members of a South Korean church group. They had traveled from Cairo to Saint Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai Peninsula. The bus was waiting to cross into Israel when the explosion occurred. The South Korean tourists belonged to the Jincheon Jungang Presbyterian Church. They had reportedly "saved for years to visit Biblical sites on the 60th anniversary of their church".

Responsibility
The day following the bombing, the Sinai-based jihadist group Ansar Bait al-Maqdis claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement released on jihadist forums. In the statement, Ansar declared, "One of the heroes of Ansar Beit al-Maqdis carried out the attack on a tourist bus heading towards the Zionist entity (Israel)." The group said the attack was "part of our economic war against this regime of traitors ... which kills the innocent, destroys houses, ransacks properties and lays waste to land on the border with the Zionist enemy".

On February 18, an affiliated Twitter account of Ansar told tourists to leave Egypt by February 20 or else they would be attacked.

Egyptian Islamist groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya and the National Alliance to Support Legitimacy, condemned the attack.

Impact
Issandr El Amrani of the International Crisis Group said, "A continuation in attacks on tourists would mean a shift in strategy by jihadist groups that until now targeted the military and police... but that cannot be judged after one attack".

Following the attack, many tourist operators cancelled trips to the Sinai. The tourism industry is a key sector of the Egyptian economy.

title: Timothy Bligh

text:
Sir Timothy James Bligh, KBE, DSO, DSC* (2 September 1918 – 12 March 1969) was a British Royal Navy officer, civil servant and business executive, who served as Principal Private Secretary to two successive prime ministers; Harold Macmillan and Sir Alec Douglas-Home.

Early life
Bligh was born on 2 September 1918, the only surviving son of Edward Clare Bligh (1887–1976), who was Chief Officer of Welfare Department, London County Council, 1932–1951. Bligh was educated at Winchester College and Balliol College, Oxford, graduating in 1940.

Career
During the Second World War, Bligh served in the Royal Navy in the North Atlantic, the English Channel and the Mediterranean, and was twice wounded. He was awarded the DSC and bar and the DSO, and was appointed an OBE. Bligh joined the Civil Service in 1946 as an assistant principal in the Treasury, and was rapidly promoted, reaching the rank of under-secretary in 1959. That year he was appointed principal private secretary to the prime minister, Harold Macmillan, whom he served until the latter's resignation in October 1963. Bligh then served Macmillan's successor, Sir Alec Douglas-Home in the same capacity, until Douglas-Home's defeat in the 1964 British general election.

In 1964 Bligh left the government's service to become a director of the media chain the Thomson Organisation, and became its assistant managing director in 1966. He was briefly active in Conservative politics, as an alderman on the Greater London Council from 1967.

Profumo affair
As the prime minister's principal private secretary, Bligh was peripherally involved in the Profumo affair of 1963, a scandal which brought about the resignation of John Profumo as Secretary of State for War and destabilised the government. Before the affair broke, Bligh had been advised of the possibility that Profumo had compromised national security through a sexual affair with a 19-year-old showgirl, Christine Keeler, who was a known associate of the society osteopath Stephen Ward, a suspected Soviet sympathiser. Bligh interviewed Profumo, who denied any wrongdoing but asked if he should resign to avoid embarrassing the government. He was advised that he should not. Later, when the affair was unravelling, Bligh met Ward, who  by then, at the Home Office's instigation, was under police investigation regarding possible vice charges. Ward asked Bligh if there was anything that could be done to halt the investigation, which was proving ruinous to his practice. Bligh took no action. In June 1963 when the scandal reached its climax, Macmillan being absent in Scotland it was to Bligh that Profumo first confessed his guilt, and it was Bligh who transmitted the contents of Profumo's resignation letter to the prime minister.

Private life
Bligh married Ruth Pamela Robertson in 1945; there were two sons and one daughter from the marriage. In the 1963 Prime Minister's Resignation Honours he was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Bligh died at his home in Kent on 12 March 1969, after a long illness.
