Main characters

Coming from the Neighborhood, he has a laid back attitude, and isn't very knowledgeable of Japanese customs, leading him into confusions with the wrong people. When he was 11, he and his father  were in a war in the Neighborhood, lending their power to an old friend of his father named Raymond. In an occasion where his father told him not to follow him, Yūma disobeyed his father, sneaking into battle, which caused him to be heavily injured. His father, finding his dying son, sacrificed his life to create a  to prolong Yūma's life. Yuma's dying body is sealed in a ring that also holds his black trigger and he received a body made from Trion. His guardian, Replica, told him to go to the human world and see if Border could find a cure to his condition (though he wanted to bring his father back instead), only to find out they didn't know the answer either. In chapter 33 he officially joined Border as a C-Rank attacker in Tamakoma-2. He received the nickname  in the anime, and gets called "White Nightmare" by Kōda Squad, due to his white hair and ferocity in battle. In Season 2, Ōji gives him the nickname of "Cougar". He is a Speed Based Attacker that uses Scorpion to fight in Rank Wars. He inherited a Side Effect which enables him to accurately determine when a person is lying after getting his black trigger.

A Border agent with low Trion level. He is usually referred as simply "Four Eyes" by people outside Tamakoma-2. He later promoted into B-Rank Border and later became a Shooter and the leader of , also known as . He became Chika's protector after her older brother (and his tutor) disappeared mysteriously, and joined Border in order to be better able to protect her, but the examiner suggested him to become an Engineer or Operator, due to his low Trion. Unable to accept this, he imprudently tried to infiltrate Border's headquarters and negotiate with them, but he was attacked by a Bamster, which was destroyed by Jin. The S-rank member then talks Border into accepting Osamu as a C-Rank trainee. He befriended Yūma after he was transferred to his school. He is 15 years old.

A girl with abnormally high Trion level, which "attracts" Trion Soldiers towards her. Her brother Rinji and friend were captured by Neighbors, and tired of running away and looking for a way to rescue them, she joins Border as a C-Rank Sniper in Tamakoma-2. She purposely keeps herself away from others because she is afraid she'll cause them to be captured by Neighbors and she doesn't want to get hurt. She also has two side effects, one that allows her to feel the presence of incoming enemies, and one to hide her presence. Izumi labeled her as , due to her huge amount of Trion.  In Season 2, she becomes known as "Tamakoma's Cannon". She has short hair styled in a hime cut, with a cowlick in the middle. She is currently 14 years old.

Yūichi is an A-Rank Solo Attacker (originally S-Rank) at Border with precognitive powers. He is a very friendly and carefree person. He is a self-proclaimed "Talented Elite", but his skills and strategies in battle are more than enough to back up his confidence. His mother was killed by Neighbors but despite that, he doesn't hate Neighbors, as he has been to the Neighbor World and knows not all Neighbors are evil. He was the one who invited Yūma to join Border. Like Yūma's father, his mentor  sacrificed his own life to create a Black Trigger, which Yūichi competed for, and later gave it away so that Yūma could officially join and be recognized as a Border agent by Headquarters. His Side Effect allows him to see the future, which is highly valued by Border. He is 19 years old.

Yūma's guardian, created by his father to protect Yūma and teach him right from wrong. They have information on various countries that Yūma and his father visited. They was the one who told Yūma to come to the human world. Replica told Osamu Yūma's story, and asked him to give Yūma a new goal. Near the end of the large scale invasion by Aftokrator, Replica was severely damaged. While in this state Osamu throws Replica into Aftokrator's away ship, and activates the emergency launch command. While this ultimately saved Osamu and Chika, replica was unable to leave the ship. It is currently unknown if he managed to survive or if he is still "alive" or not.

One probably acts as vision while the other generates gates. They have 6 legs and a tail.

These are multi-story level worm like creatures tasked with capturing humans in the Earth world for the other world nations. They are not combat grade creatures like most of the trion soldiers invading from the other world. Though it's combat oriented, it is capable of defense by ranged attacks from its mouth.

These tall humanoid like shaped trion soldiers are probably the toughest of them all and are designed solely for capturing trigger users. They are the mysterious "new type" seen during the invasion of the city. They are white, with rabbit like ears which are actually some type of radar sensors. In their stomachs are claws for catching which curl back into the chest cavity for form a makeshift cage for those captured. On their heads are eyes that can also shoot ranged attacks. Each of them is heavily armored, especially on the back, head, and arms.

One of the two types of trion soldierrs given to Galopoula by Rhodokhroun. As the name suggests, they resemble dogs. They commonly fight in packs, and are also used as surveillance.

title: Thomas R. Kerr

text:
Thomas R. Kerr (April 24, 1843 – November 14, 1926) was a soldier in the Union Army in the American Civil War. Kerr received his country's highest award for bravery during combat, the Medal of Honor. Kerr's medal was won for his capturing the flag of the Confederate 8th Virginia Cavalry Regiment at Moorefield in West Virginia on August 7, 1864. He was honored with the award on June 13, 1894.

Medal of Honor citation

Background
Kerr was born in Coleraine, County Londonderry, Ireland. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant with the 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry in November 1862. He was promoted to captain in May 1864 and resigned in June 1865. Kerr is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, in Arlington, Virginia.

Battle
Kerr earned his medal in the Battle of Moorefield on August 7, 1864. The battle occurred in a portion of West Virginia that was hostile to the Union during the American Civil War. Kerr led a group of 60 men into a Confederate camp early in the morning. Two Union brigades under the command of Brigadier General William W. Averell followed, and the Union force surprised and routed a larger Confederate cavalry force that had burned the Pennsylvania town of Chambersburg only a few days earlier. Kerr was shot in the face and thigh, and his horse killed—yet he captured the flag of the 8th Virginia Cavalry Regiment and rode away on the color bearer's horse. Averell's small division captured 27 officers and 393 enlisted men, 4 artillery pieces, and 400 horses. The Confederate killed and wounded was unknown. Union losses were 7 killed and 21 wounded. A Union soldier that fought in the battle estimated that the "loss to the enemy in killed, wounded and captured was near eight hundred". The loss severely damaged Confederate cavalry in the Shenandoah Valley.

title: The Sweet Body of Deborah

text:
The Sweet Body of Deborah () is a 1968 giallo film directed by Romolo Girolami and starring Carroll Baker and Jean Sorel. It was written by Ernesto Gastaldi based on a story by Gastaldi and producer Luciano Martino.

Set in Geneva, the film follows a recently married American woman who finds herself in danger after a stranger begins to target her husband and accuse him of murdering an ex-fiance named Susan.

Plot
Deborah and Marcel return to Geneva from their honeymoon. Marcel learns of his former fiancée Susan's suicide, and is confronted by a man named Philip who accuses him of murdering her. Marcel begins to receive threats from someone who holds him responsible for Susan's death. His new bride Deborah also becomes the target of these threats, and a weird neighbor named Robert with voyeuristic tendencies begins fixating on her as well.

Production

In the mid-1960s, Carroll Baker was marked as being a sex symbol following her posing in Playboy magazine. She was then fired by Paramount, separated from her husband Jack Garfein and moved to Europe to continue her career. Baker was popular in Italy, where film audiences were still fond of her from performances in films like Baby Doll (1956), a film that was initially banned in Italy. In December 1966, Baker arrived in Italy to Marco Ferreri's film Her Harem. The film was a hit and led to her to soon start shooting two films: One Step Up which did not complete filming, and another film titled Honeymoon set to be directed by Brunello Rondi. Rondi dropped out of the project, while its plot, locations and character's names were used in The Sweet Body of Deborah.

Screenwriter Ernesto Gastaldi was adamant that Rondi was not involved at all in the pre-production of The Sweet Body of Deborah and the script at Rome's CSC archives only have it signed by Gastaldi and Luciano Martino  as authors of the scenario and Gastaldi alone as the screenwriter.  The new director Romolo Guerrieri stated he did not like the script, predominantly due to its erotic contents.  He was convinced by Martino to accept to do the film based on the two leads. The film was shot in English.

Release
The Sweet Body of Deborah was released in Italy in March 1968 as Il dolce corpo di Deborah. The film later opened in Paris in February 1969 as L'adorable corps de Deborah. In the United States, where the film was distributed by Warner Bros.-Seven Arts, it opened in Detroit on March 12, 1969. The film was a box office hit in Italy, inspiring a number of similar thrillers starring Carroll Baker, but was not as successful in the United Kingdom and United States, and marked the beginning of actress Carroll Baker's career in Europe starring in giallo and horror films. It grossed a total of 587 million lire on its release in Italy.

Reception
The New York Times gave The Sweet Body of Deborah a middling review, with critic Vincent Canby noting the film's "disembodied narrative—[it is] a movie without any real national identity that seems to have sprung into existence not because of any artistic urgency but because somebody could make a deal." In Variety, "Murf." noted "contrived direction and photography, lifeless dubbing and careless production mark this Italo-French co-production, which Warner Bros.-Severn Arts can ride to okay first playoff." The Saturday Review gave the film a positive review, noting that: "the film's unstinting effort to entertain at all costs is both welcome and refreshing."

Due to its nude scenes involving Baker, The Sweet Body of Deborah drew attention upon its initial release for its then-daring sex appeal. New York magazine republished a snippet of a review by John Mahoney for The Hollywood Reporter, which contained an extensive and detailed description of Baker's nude body as it appeared in the film.

title: 3 Serpentis

text:
3 Serpentis is a binary star in the constellation Serpens with an orbital period of approximately 66 years.  It is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent magnitude of 5.337.  Located around  distant, it is an orange giant of spectral type K0III, a star that has used up its core hydrogen.

The two components of 3 Serpentis can be resolved using speckle interferometry and were separated by 0.23" in 2014.  The orbit is highly eccentric and at periastron passage in 1997, the two are calculated to have been only 6 mas apart.

Individual spectra for the two components of 3 Serpentis cannot be obtained and the spectral type of K0III is for the two stars combined.  The primary is 2.5 magnitudes brighter than the secondary and cooler.  The combined spectral type indicates that the primary is likely to have evolved away from the main sequence, but comparison of the colour and brightness of the secondary suggest it is still a main sequence star.

6 Serpentis is a binary star system in the constellation Serpens. It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.382, which is bright enough to be faintly visible to the naked eye. The distance to this system, based upon an annual parallax shift of , is about 240 light years. It is moving further from the Sun with a heliocentric radial velocity of +10 km/s.

The primary, component A, is an evolved red giant of spectral type K3III, a star that has used up its core hydrogen and has expanded. At the age of around six billion years it is a red clump star, indicating it is on the horizontal branch and is generating energy through helium fusion at its core. The star has 1.27 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 12 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 55 times the Sun's luminosity from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,417 K.

title: KahBang Music and Art Festival

text:
The KahBang Music and Art Festival (commonly referred to as KahBang) was an annual four-day music, art, and film festival held in Bangor and Portland, Maine. The event features many genres of music, as well as independent film screenings and art installations. Other activities offered at the festival have included boat cruises, a brew fest, "KahBlock Party," and the closing "KahBrunch and Kickball Tournament." At times the festival has offered lodging and camping packages, and the campsite often features additional musical entertainment throughout the event. In 2014, the music portion of the event was cancelled, and the art/film portion was moved to Portland, Maine.

History

2009
The inaugural KahBang Festival, held in August 2009, brought more than 2,000 attendees to the Bangor, Maine Waterfront and featured bands such as Matt and Kim, Ra Ra Riot and Ida Maria. The festival was originally a two-day music event.

2010
In 2010 the festival expanded to include the Bangor Film Festival. Like its counterparts, the film festival focused on showcasing emerging filmmakers and independently produced works. The inaugural lineup of films included the Maynard James Keenan documentary Blood Into Wine and the indie feature comedy New Low.

The expanded festival attracted over 30,000 attendees and featured live performances from BOB, OK Go, Biz Markie, Free Energy, and Bad Rabbits.

2011
In 2011, the festival offered camping for the first time. The festival campsite was located on the remains of an old driving range and was a short distance from the festival grounds. New additions to KahBang 2011 included the establishment of KahBang Arts, a nonprofit arm of festival operations, headed by a board of directors composed of community members. 2011 was also the first KahBang Connect Conference, a social media industry conference, showcasing experts from across the spectrum of social media and connectivity.

Acts included: My Morning Jacket, Lupe Fiasco, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Atmosphere, Chromeo, and Surfer Blood

2012
In 2012, the festival hosted a summer art walk in conjunction with the festival, and local artists opened the doors to their studios and galleries for public viewing in conjunction with the festival.

In 2012, KahBang adapted to its current format of 4 days, running Thursday through Sunday and added its Brew Fest event, highlighting local, micro-brewed beer.

Acts included: Bassnectar, Deftones, Paper Diamond, Penguin Prison, Reptar, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, Astronautalis, Now, Now, and Spose

2013
The first day of the 2013 festival was hampered by nonstop rain that at times heavily deterred the majority of festival-goers. Muddy fields made for difficult dancing, and the constant wet made it dangerous for amplifiers to be plugged in. Several bands had to postpone their performances until Saturday, while others played acoustic or performed in the Dance Tent. The Bangor Daily News hosted a "What’s Next Conference" as part of the festival, and brought multiple panelists and speakers from all over the country to lead technology and business discussions on topics such as social media, app development, marketing and branding. The festival also featured late night performances at bars around Bangor, and an early-morning dance party at the KahBang Campsite.

Acts included: Earl Sweatshirt, Dr. Dog, 12th Planet, The Weeks, Oberhofer, RDGLDGRN, Vacationer, Spose, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, Codes, Spencer Albee, and Mean Creek

2014
Three weeks before major performers DMX and St. Vincent were scheduled to take the stage, organizers announced a last-minute venue change that took the festival two hours south to Portland, Maine. The 2014 edition of the music, art and film festival was to be held mostly indoors at venues including the State Theatre and Port City Music Hall. The KahBang Festival had partnered with the city of Portland to bring concerts to the Maine State Pier in the summer of 2011. The decision was greatly influenced by the festival’s failure to find a campsite to house festival-goers, artists and bands in the Bangor area.

On July 31, 2014, KahBang director Joshua Gass announced that the music portion of the festival had been cancelled and told fans that "several setbacks in planning, including the loss of sponsors, made it difficult to stage the acts." The KahBang Brew Fest had already been cancelled two weeks previous to the announcement.

title: The Clarity

text:
"The Clarity" is a single by the American stoner/doom metal band Sleep. The song was released digitally for free on July 21, 2014 through the cable network Adult Swim's 2014 weekly singles series. The release of "The Clarity" also marks the first release of newly recorded material in almost 20 years. Later, it was re-released on February 10, 2017 via Southern Lord Records as a 12" vinyl pressing and recut by Adam Gonsalves. In 2021, it was remixed and reissued again on the EP Iommic Life via Third Man Records.

Sleep reformed in 2009 and began performing live in addition to writing new riffs for future songs "sporadically". Adult Swim approached the band about releasing a new song as a part of its weekly singles series, and Sleep wrote "The Clarity" in "a couple days" separate from the other new material it had been working on. The band also commented that the song, "is an exercise in musical stream of thought, as all proper music should be" and that the lyrics are a "follow-up to a lifetime of marijuana enjoyment."

"The Clarity" was generally well received by music critics. Writing for NPR, Lars Gotrich wrote: "It captures Sleep at its heaviest and weediest, and despite the puff of smoke that pervades these 10 minutes, it's the band's cleanest-sounding recording." Colin Joyce writing for Spin wrote: "Built, like many of the band's best tracks, around Cisneros' thunderous, distorted basslines and the bleary haze of Pike's Tony Iommi indebted guitar snarls, 'The Clarity' hearkens straight back to the drone-y, stone-y tunes that the band was working on when they were teenagers." Writing for Exclaim!, Josiah Hughes wrote: "'The Clarity' is a heavy journey through meaty riffs, mid-tempo drums and plenty of drug references. At 10 minutes in length, it's also a perfect song to turn on and zone out to."

title: Progressive Governors Forum

text:
Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) is a forum of Nigerian governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the mega party which was born of a merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), and faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA). The Forum was formed in the wake of the merger of legacy parties which merged to form the APC and at inception in August 2013, the PGF had 11 member governors comprising Borno, Edo, Ekiti, Imo, Lagos, Nassarawa, Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Yobe, and Zamfara states; this number increased later when five additional governors from the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) defected to the APC after a crisis that gave rise to a faction known as the new-PDP.

Sequel to the new merger with members from the new-PDP, the PGF comprised sixteen governors (Adamawa, Borno, Edo, Ekiti, Imo, Kano, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Rivers, Sokoto, Yobe and Zamfara states), this number, however, reduced to fourteen after Ekiti's Kayode Fayemi lost his re-election bid and Adamawa's Murtala Nyako was impeached, in June and July 2014 respectively.

The APC recorded overwhelming victory in most states and the number of member governors increased to 22 after the 2015 gubernatorial elections. The Forum member governors presently total 20 as at June 2023.

Aims and Objectives
Addressing newsmen in October, 2013, the governors of the All Progressive Congress, APC, described their main goal as organising all APC state governments in order to implement policies which would develop human capital in their respective states and improve the quality of life through job creation, which would, in turn, eradicate poverty.
The objectives of the Forum include;
 Promoting the APC’s social democratic ideals as enshrined in the party’s constitution and manifesto by undertaking policy actions which reflect these in APC-governed states
 Partnering with other progressive governors in Nigeria, irrespective of whether or not they are members of the APC, in order to promote good governance and deepen the democratic process in the country.
 Setting a uniform agenda especially with respect to healthcare and education across all APC states, with the aim of establishing and replicating results across board
 Carrying out initiatives which would make the electioneering process credible and that results truly reflect the wishes of the people
 To support the party, the APC, in engaging other stakeholders with the aim of strengthening democracy and accountability in government
 To support the party in its leadership orientation efforts across the country
 To implement initiatives which would aid the development of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), and enable it take its rightful place as a democratic institution not prone to partisan influences.

Principles
The PGF is founded upon principles which include being social democratic, people-oriented, leading with accountability and being responsive to the needs of the people.

Structure
Members of the PGF meet monthly, with meetings sometimes rotated among states governed by APC Governors while a secretariat in charge of the Forum’s day-to-day activities is run by a Director-General. This secretariat is saddled with the responsibility of implementing the decisions reached by the governors from member states and generating programmes, proposals and recommendations for consideration by the governors.

The current Chairman of the PGF is Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, Governor of Kebbi State who was elected as Forum Chair in May 2019. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/bagudu-emerges-chairman-apc-govs-forum.html

The Secretariat
The Director-General of the PGF since its inception in August 2013 is Mallam Salihu Lukman, a development economist.

Departments at the PGF include the Finance and Administrative department, the Programs Department – which is further broken into the Governance Program Unit and the Legislative Program Unit, and the Media & Communications Department.

Members

Current members
The PGF is made up of governors on the platform of the ruling party, APC. There are currently 20 members, they are as follows;

Events and Activities

First Progressive Governance Lecture
On 24 February 2014, the Progressive Governors converged in Ibadan, Oyo State, for the first Progressive Governance Lecture, which was tagged "Unemployment and the Crisis of Governance in Nigeria: The Way Forward". The aim of the lecture was to examine the unemployment crisis in Nigeria in order to proffer solutions which would result in mass job creation.

At the event, the governors stated that they would work on recommendations gathered in order to help direct policy formulation and implementation within APC states.

Progressive Governors/Legislators/CSOs Roundtable
On Monday, 24 March 2014, the PGF held a roundtable session with legislators within the APC and select Civil Society Organisations. The theme of the roundtable session was ‘Improving governance through transparent budgeting, accountability and effective public financial management'. The event was chaired by the Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, and some of the issues it was convened to tackle include the lack of transparency and accountability in budget implementation, budget and budget process in the National Assembly, the role of public finance management in good governance, and the 20 billion Dollars reported missing in the Nigerian National Petroleum Commission (NNPC).

A communiqué was issued and some of the recommendations made include establishing a budget timetable in order to ensure that the budgeting process is not dependent upon the Federal Government, strengthening institutions in order to promote accountability in budgeting, designing the budgeting process based on sector plans and not statements of intended expenses (as is currently being done) and making provisions for a closing figure for the previous year before presenting a new budget, among others.

Second Progressive Governance Lecture
Sequel to the first Progressive Governance Lecture, a second lecture took place in Kano State in May 2014, titled: "Crisis in Nigeria’s Education: Addressing the Connect between Unemployment and Insecurity". At this event, the host, Governor Kwankwaso of Kano State, elucidated on the steps being taken by his administration to reduce the spate of crime by encouraging youths to become educated. This, he said, had been achieved through a free education programme in the state. The Chairman of the PGF, Governor Rochas Okorocha, also asked that politicians work together to combat the scourge of terrorism irrespective of party affiliation.

Visit and Donation to Victims of Nyanya Bomb Blast
The PGF had, after a terrorist attack in Nyanya, a suburb on the outskirts of Abuja on 14 April 2014, paid visits to victims in the National Hospital, Abuja, and the Asokoro General Hospital and donated a relief fund of N100million.

Workshop on Education Policy Design
Following deliberations at the first and second Progressive Governance Lectures, this workshop was organised in Port-Harcourt in July 2014 for the purpose of designing policies which would aid educational development in APC states. In attendance were commissioners of education from at least 13 of the 16 APC states and some deputy governors, among other state officials.

The APC Governors' Retreat
The PGF, before the inauguration of the new administration in May, 2015, organised a retreat for all APC governors (both returning and outgoing) and governors-elect. The aim of the retreat was to design governance strategies which would enable them deliver on the party's campaign promises, and to provide the incoming governors with the necessary knowledge on governance and administrative duties.

title: Holgate Road carriage works, York

text:
The Holgate Road carriage works was a railway carriage manufacturing factory in the Holgate area of York, England.

The factory began production in 1884 as a planned expansion and replacement of the North Eastern Railway's Queen Street site; the works was substantially expanded in 1897–1900, and saw further modernisations through the 20th century.

The works passed to the ownership of the London and North Eastern Railway (1923); British Railways (1948); British Rail Engineering Limited, known as BREL York (1970); and privatised and acquired by ABB in 1989 (ABB York).

The works closed in 1996, due to lack of orders caused by uncertainty in the post-privatisation of British Rail period. Thrall Car Manufacturing Company used the works to manufacture freight wagons for English Welsh and Scottish Railway from 1998 to 2002, after which the factory closed again.

As of 2009, the site is in maintenance related rail use by Network Rail as their Rail Fleet Engineering Centre (RFEC). The site is used by Network Rail, and various rail sub-contractors to maintain Network Rails own fleet of maintenance rail vehicles.

As a consequence of manufacturing work using asbestos during the 20th century more than a hundred people associated from the works have died from illness caused by exposure to the material, with asbestos related illnesses still occurring and causing death into the 21st century.

History

NER (1884–1923)
After the transfer of wagon building from York Queen Street in 1867, in 1880 the North Eastern Railway took the decision to move carriage building to a new site, and the first contracts let for its construction in 1880. The works was designed as an integrated carriage building factory, with separate buildings for each process. The main buildings were of brick construction, with stone and coloured brick detailing. The internal construction was of cast iron columns with wrought iron beams. Carriage building started in 1884 which construction of 6-wheel carriages and the works started producing bogie coaches, initially of  length, in 1895.

By the late 1890s capacity had been reached, exacerbated by the increase in length of carriages, and from 1897 contracts were let for the construction of expansion of the works, primarily west, plus a large lifting shop adjacent south of the main works building. Electric and gas shops were also added and additional stores, plus servicing and washing sheds to the west. The expansion of buildings was mostly complete by 1900, excluding a wagon (rulley) shop built 1904. A large wood drying store allowed a ready supply of seasoned woods for carriage manufacture.

In 1903 two ,  Petrol Electric Autocars were built, numbers 3170 and 3171, early examples of electric transmission in rail vehicles; the works produced rolling stock for the North Tyneside electrification in the same period.

In 1914 York carriage works built 3 kitchen-cars for use on the Flying Scotsman, these being of all steel construction - quite advanced for the time - due to being fitted with gas cooking equipment. During the First World War the York works produced material for the war effort, mostly logistics equipment, but other work included conversion of existing carriages into an ambulance train and a complete train which was produced for the Director General of Transportation.

In 1920 the carriage works had  of buildings on a site of . The works built all of the coaching stock of the NER, plus much of the East Coast Joint Stock and Great Northern and North-Eastern Joint Stock, as well as undertaking most of the NER's carriage repairs. The site consisted of two main buildings on the east end of the site; the northernmost one was used for building and painting vehicles, the southern one included the sawmill, frame and cabinet building, machine and brake shops. There were also offices, a smithy and cat shop, and gas and electric shops. West of the main works was a large timber drying building, and carriage washing facilities. The  1871 building was still in use as, mainly as a glass store and paintshop. Overall the carriage works employed 1,500 persons.

LNER period (1923–1948)
At the start of this period a survey by the LNER showed that York Works had a construction capacity of 200 coaches per year and to improve capacity the varnishing shop was converted to provide extra build capacity in 1924. The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) added traversers () at the west and east end of the main works building on the south side; to accommodate the east traverser the buildings were shortened. By this time York had moved to 'sectionalised assembly' and this methodology, having some similarities to a production line, was expanded in 1931 under A. H. Peppercorn.

During the Second World War the carriage works produced parts for Horsa Gliders and in 1944 part of the north building (building shop) which had been manufacturing launches for the Royal Navy was destroyed by an accidental fire. The building was rebuilt with a new roof with clerestory lighting, being reopened in 1947. During the war period time many of the workers were women, who worked shifts up to 69 hours in a week.

BR period (1948–1989)
At nationalisation (see Transport Act 1947) the works employed around 5,000 people.

During the 1950s there were over 3,000 staff employed by the works and early Diesel Multiple Units were maintained on the site. Some early Electric Multiple Unit trains were built at York, such as British Rail Class 305/1.

In the 1960s the BR workshops were re-organised : regional workshops were abolished and control centralised with excess works closing. York, together with Derby was retained and assigned to carriage production, and £976,000 authorised for investment at the site.

In 1970 the rolling stock workshops division of British Rail (excluding repair works) became British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL).

From the 1970s to 1989 the works manufactured much of British Rail's electric multiple unit passenger stock, including: Class 313 (64 three car trains, 1976/7); Class 314 (16 three car trains, 1979); Class 315 (61 four car, 1980/1); Class 317 (72 four car, 1981-2 & 1985–7); Class 319 (86 four car, 1987–1990); Class 318 (21 three car, 1984–1986);,Class 321 (117 four car, 1988–1991). and Class 455 (137 four car, 1982–4). The works continued producing vehicles for British Rail after privatisation. Class 150 DMUs were built, and Class 165 and Class 166 DMUs.

BREL introduced some modern manufacturing methods at the works, installations included: five sheet metal machining centres, one with an automatic tool change, used to manufacture body shells and bolster parts for EMUs; test facilities for air-conditioning units; and clean rooms for electronics repair. The works also had a short test track electrified at 750 V DC or 25 kV AC. Experiments were carried out into robotic welding machines in the early 1980s, but the technique was not used for production at that time.

Post-privatisation (1989–)
BREL was privatised in 1987, as BREL (1988) Ltd., and acquired by a consortium including management, Trafalgar House and ABB acquired the company including the York works in 1989. Procurement contracts on British Rail began being put to public tender in the 1980s; the fate of the works was linked primarily to the number of orders for Network SouthEast for electric passenger stock – failure to win the contract for electric multiple units for the Heathrow Express service (awarded to Siemens/CAF, see Class 332) resulted in the loss of 289 jobs.

The works obtained contracts to build: Class 320 (22 three car, 1990); Class 322 (5 four car, 1990);  Class 365 (41 four car, 1994/5); Class 456 (24 two car. 1991–92) and Class 465 (97 four car, 1991–1994). Additionally Eurotrams were built for the Strasbourg tramways at the site, and at ABB's Derby Litchurch Lane works .

In 1995 ABB announced that the factory would close due to lack of orders; the cause was widely recognised as being due to a gap in train orders caused by uncertainties following the privatisation of British Rail: Union officials, ABB management, and Conservative and Labour members of parliament all expressed similar views on the cause of the closure. The carriage works closed in 1996 with 750 redundancies; ABB blamed the closure on the privatisation of British Rail, stating that the privatisation had delayed orders, causing a gap in the company's order books.

Wagon manufacturer Thrall (USA) reopened the plant as wagon works in 1997, having obtained about a £200 million order from EWS for 2,500 wagons. First production was the BYA type covered steel coil carriers. The first wagon was formally presented in July 1998. Nearly half of the order was for 1145 HTA coal hoppers. Other wagon types produced included 300 MBA 'monster box', 260 BYA (covered steel coil), 100+400+300 FAA; FCA and FKA container flat wagons, and 60 BRA steel wagons. Prototype MRA ballast wagons were also manufactured for Railtrack at the site .

No further orders were received, and in 2002 the factory was closed by Thrall successor Trinity Industries with 260 redundancies.

Network Rail acquired the main building in 2009 for storage and maintenance of Rail Head Treatment Train wagons.

Legacy

Asbestos contamination
Asbestos was used in rolling stock manufacture as thermal, and sound insulation; in carriages asbestos would be applied between inner and outer bodywork layers as well as in flooring and radiator insulation. After the beginning of the British Rail Modernisation Plan in the 1950s blue asbestos came into increasing use, until its health dangers were recognised.

In 1975 an inquest into the death of former railway worker Frank Summers recorded that he had died from an industrial disease; he had previously been employed in asbestos spraying at York Carriage works. At the inquest it was claimed that the use of asbestos at the works ended in 1964; initially the dangers of asbestos were not known and employees worked without facemasks or other protection; workers continued to be exposed to asbestos into the 1970s, relatives of workers also developed asbestos related diseases through contact with dust on workers' clothing.

The Holgate Road site was still contaminated with asbestos in some areas in the 1990s. By 2012 it was estimated that over 140 workers had died as a result of exposure to asbestos.

Buildings
Most of the buildings auxiliary to the main works have been demolished post closure. West of the main works the area was cleared and partially developed for housing, and the gas and electric shops were demolished; the stores building in the northeast corner was reused as a small business premises.

title: Private Lessons (1975 film)

text:
Private Lessons (, also known as The Private Lesson) is a 1975 Italian commedia sexy all'italiana film directed by Vittorio De Sisti that stars Carroll Baker.

Plot
At a college run by Catholic priests, Laura arrives as the new piano teacher. An attractive blonde, she is single and devoted to her art. Alessandro, handsome 17-year-old virgin son of a possessive mother, falls instantly in love with her. This is perceived by Emanuela, the girl who hopes to conquer him, and by Gabriele, her secretly gay brother who has the same dream. Alessandro's mother, completely unaware of these emotional cross-currents, hires Laura to give him additional lessons in their home.

Gabriele senses an opportunity when he comes across a vantage point where he can look into Laura's apartment and, borrowing a sophisticated camera, is able to take shots of her naked and playing with herself, which he then uses to blackmail her into exposing her body progressively to Alessandro. Although excited, the boy is bemused at this behaviour, while Laura is deeply humiliated.

At the end of term, Alessandro escapes this tense environment by going to stay with his earthy uncle in the country and has an encounter with a maid, which gives him sexual confidence. Going home, he starts trying his newfound skills on Emanuela, but they are interrupted and he hides in Gabriele's room. There he finds the photographs and negatives of Laura, which he takes to her. They confront Gabriele, who sees that his plot has failed, and Laura rewards her saviour with a long night together. In the morning she explains that a relationship would not work, so he goes back to an eager Emanuela.
