Püchitz ist ein Gemeindeteil der oberfränkischen Stadt Bad Staffelstein im Landkreis Lichtenfels.

Geografie
Das Dorf liegt etwa 13 Kilometer südlich von Coburg und neun Kilometer westlich von Lichtenfels im Norden eines lang gezogenen Dreiecks zwischen Itz und Main. Östlich verläuft die Schnellfahrstrecke Nürnberg–Erfurt.

Geschichte
Püchitz wurde um das 9. Jahrhundert erstmals in den Traditionen des Klosters Fulda genannt, die auf einer Abschrift im Codex Eberhardi aus dem 12. Jahrhundert beruhen. Die nächste Erwähnung ist für 1126 belegt.

1801 gehörte die hohe Zent dem Hochstift Bamberg, die Dorf-, Gemeinde-, Lehen- und Vogteiherrschaft dem Kloster Banz, das auch zwei mit Haus und Stadel bebaute Höfe besaß. 1862 wurde Püchitz als Ortsteil der Landgemeinde Stadel in das neu geschaffene bayerische Bezirksamt Staffelstein eingegliedert.

1871 hatte Püchitz 132 Einwohner und 67 Gebäude. Die katholische Schule und Kirche standen im zwei Kilometer entfernten Altenbanz. 1900 umfasste die Landgemeinde Stadel eine Fläche von 574,28 Hektar, 268 Einwohner, von denen 251 katholisch waren, und 49 Wohngebäude. 128 Personen lebten in Püchitz in 22 Wohngebäuden. Die evangelische Schule und Kirche befanden sich im 3,5 Kilometer entfernten Herreth. 1903 wurde die Freiwillige Feuerwehr gegründet.

1925 lebten 114 Personen in 25 Wohngebäuden, 1950 waren es 129 Einwohner und 21 Wohngebäude. Im Jahr 1970 zählte der Ort 92 und 1987 98 Einwohner und 25 Wohngebäude.

Am 1. Juli 1972 schloss sich Stadel mit seinem Ortsteil Püchitz, den Nachbargemeinden Altenbanz, Nedensdorf, Unnersdorf und Teilen von Weingarten zur neuen Gemeinde Banz zusammen, die am 1. Januar 1978 aufgelöst und in die Stadt Staffelstein eingegliedert wurde. Seitdem ist Püchitz ein Ortsteil von Staffelstein.

Am 1. Juli 1972 wurde der Landkreis Staffelstein aufgelöst. Seitdem gehört Püchitz zum Landkreis Lichtenfels. 1975 war der Ort Sieger im Bundeswettbewerb Unser Dorf soll schöner werden.

Am Einschnitt zum nördlichen Portal des Tunnels Kulch wurden 2010 nach den ersten Erdarbeiten Reste einer Siedlung aus der Jungsteinzeit, 18 Gebäudegrundrisse, Palisadenanlagen, Gräber, Keramikgefäße und Werkzeuge, wie eine Pfeilspitze aus Feuerstein, entdeckt. Die Siedlung ist 7000 Jahre alt und stammt aus der Epoche der Bandkeramik.

America is conducting torture by any standard.
Via the times: The 'Good German' Among Us
Ten days ago The Times unearthed yet another round of secret Department of Justice memos countenancing torture. President Bush gave his standard response: "This government does not torture people." Of course, it all depends on what the meaning of "torture" is. The whole point of these memos is to repeatedly recalibrate the definition so Mr. Bush can keep pleading innocent.
By any legal standards except those rubber-stamped by Alberto Gonzales, we are practicing torture, and we have known we are doing so ever since photographic proof emerged from Abu Ghraib more than three years ago. As Andrew Sullivan, once a Bush cheerleader, observed last weekend in The Sunday Times of London, America's "enhanced interrogation" techniques have a grotesque provenance: "Verschärfte Vernehmung, enhanced or intensified interrogation, was the exact term innovated by the Gestapo to describe what became known as the 'third degree.' It left no marks. It included hypothermia, stress positions and long-time sleep deprivation."
In my opinion there's no excuse for this. The common argument that 'torture by the good guys saves lives' is a red herring. It pains me that the United States will never again have the reputation we enjoyed during the cold war.
John D. Hutson, who served as the Navy's top lawyer from 1997 to 2000, said he believed that the existence of legal opinions justifying abusive treatment is pernicious, potentially blurring the rules for Americans handling prisoners.
"I know from the military that if you tell someone they can do a little of this for the country's good, some people will do a lot of it for the country's better," Mr. Hutson said. Like other military lawyers, he also fears that official American acceptance of such treatment could endanger Americans in the future.
"The problem is, once you've got a legal opinion that says such a technique is O.K., what happens when one of our people is captured and they do it to him? How do we protest then?" he asked.

Rose Hill Methodist Church as we know it today
Rose Hill Methodist Church has a long and varied history dating back to 1833.
Below is a review of its history, as written by Freda Hoare and Stephen Roper (previous stewards) in 1985 to celebrate its 150th ("sesquicentennial") anniversary. We hope to add to this in the next few years to include some of our more recent history.
If you'd like to re-use this for any reason, you are welcome to do so, but please first contact our senior steward from here, so rights to reprint can be sought. Happy reading! If you're interested in our graveyard, please see here for details and photos put together by our Circuit Heritage Officer.
If you'd like to know more about this area of Oxford, Liz Woolley's history of Rose Hill is excellent. Read it here.
The writing of this celebratory history of Rose Hill Methodist Church gave me such pleasure, some of which I hope you will share as you read it. Looking through the old documents of our church gives one pause to reflect, at times, on how much has changed, and at other times, on how little. People will, I suppose, always be the same.
Two previous histories of Rose Hill have been written. The first, by W.J.S. Bayliss, written in 1935 at the time of the centenary, forms the basis for much of what follows. The second, by F. Bolton in 1960, brought the previous history up to date. The present booklet is more extensive than either of the these and has the advantage of the perspective gained on events by the passage of time. I hope this is enough of an excuse for its writing.
Thanks are due to many people. To Freda Hoare for encouragement and for her writing of the last section, to Kay Fairman and Fred and Doris Bolton for many useful cuttings and to Greta Johnson for her clarification of many points.

Oxford's part in the growth of Methodism in the 18th century is well known. Indeed John Wesley paid 56 pastoral visits to Oxford between 1730 and 1790. The main foundation in Oxford was in New Inn Hall Street, opposite the present St. Peter's College, and is today commemorated by a plaque on the wall. The history of Rose Hill Methodist Church also begins here as the father of its founder Henry Leake is listed as one of the trustees of the old Wesley Memorial Church in 1818.
In the 1920s, Rose Hill itself was a very different place from today. Imagine walking down the high street and out along Iffley Road in those days. At first, little would appear to have changed except for an absence of buses and traffic lights. At The Plain, having passed through the toll gate and gone around the Cape of Good Hope Inn, one would leave the town behind and find fields lining both sides of the road. Crossing the brook on the approach to Iffley, the road turns slightly right, and climbs the bank of Iffley Turn. Right would lead into the village, and left would lead us up to Rose Hill.
The few houses then to be found at Rose Hill were an isolated part of the village of Iffley. The name 'Rose Hill' is derived from 'Rose Bank', the name given by a Doctor Ireland, to a house which he built for himself on the rise above the village. By 1835. Rose Hill included about 20 buildings in addition to the new Weslyan Methodist Chapel.
Henry Thomas Leake, the founder of Rose Hill Methodist Church, first arrived in Iffley with his mother in 1833. He moved into a house in Church Way, called Rivermead, which remains today almost exactly as it was then. Before moving to Iffley, he presumably lived in Witney as his father is described as "Henry Leake of Witney, Gentleman" in the list of trustees of the old Wesley Memorial Church.
Henry Leake's association with Methodism seems to have begun before he moved to Iffley. However, the only clues we have about this and the early days of the church at Rose Hill are the remarks made by the founder at the Golden Jubilee Celebrations in 1886 and recalled by W.J.S Bayliss. Mr. Leake described how on moving to Iffley, he found a group of Methodists holding their services in a Mr. Gordon's cottage. One Sunday, when a local preacher failed to turn up, he took a service. The group soon outgrew the cottage and after holding their services in a stable for some time, steps were taken to find a chapel site.
The Donnington Trust owned all the available land in Iffley Village, and were unhelpful in providing land for the chapel. This meant looking further afield, and the site at Rose Hill was chosen. Henry Leake personally purchased the site and paid for the construction of the chapel, helped by gifts totalling £30 (£3,837 using cumulative RPI inflation as at 2020) from Methodist friends. Rose Hill was the fifth chapel to be built in the circuit.
The laying of the foundation stone in June or July 1835 took place at 5 a.m. to enable people to go to work afterwards. At the opening of the chapel, the assembled crowd was too large to fit inside, and so they had to adjourn to the waste land opposite. 1835 must have been a busy year for Henry Leake as, in addition to founding Rose Hill, he was a Circuit Steward and was also on trial as a local preacher. Indeed, in the Winter quarter of 1834-5, the plan on which Rose Hill Methodist Church first appeared, Mr. Leake was planned to preach every Sunday!
Despite the impressive attendance at the chapel opening ceremony in 1835, congregations in the early years were smaller than those of today. In 1836, "Iffley Weslyan Memorial Church", as it was called then, had only two Classes, one led by Henry Leake and one by "Brother Castle". By the summer of 1837, the chapel boasted five classes, numbering 56 members in all, out of an Oxford total of 368. The circuit at this time consisted of 26 "preaching places", but only five chapels, stretching from Blewbury in the South, to Chipping Norton in the North.
By 1839, the membership had risen to 63, and in that year, the chapel was conveyed to the Wesleyan Methodists from Henry Leake for a nominal 10s/-. Only in 1843 did "Rose Hill Wesleyan Methodist Church" appear in the circuit schedule book, or record of membership.
Early Services
In the early years, many members of the congregation could not read and of the few who could, even fewer would have have been able to afford hymn books. So the preacher would read, or if he could not read, recite from memory, two lines of a hymn and these would then be sung by the congregation. It is likely that for a time the only accompaniment was provided by Joseph Shirley on his piccolo assisted by a small group of singers in the gallery at the back of the church. Hymn singing may have been a lengthy business, but this did not hinder preachers who often spoke for an hour or more.
Communion services were rare. For example, there were only four planned in the whole circuit from November 1834 to February 1835. For these early communion services, Rose Hill used a Church of England Prayer Book presented to it in 1839. A collection of Wesley's hymns was also used, but was obviously superceded at some stage by "Hymns of Light and Life" as, in February 1912, it was decided to replace this with a Sankey Hymnal. The Methodist Hymn book was published in 1933 to mark the founding of the Methodist Union. The supplement "Hymns and Songs" appeared in 1969, and this was followed by "Hymns and Psalms" in 1984.
Lean Years
At the Methodist Conference of 1850, three ministers identified with the Reform Movement were expelled – Revs. Everett, Griffith and Dunn. It seems that this had great implications for Rose Hill. In the 1935 history, W.J.S. Bayliss says "the chapel all but closed as a result of the expulsion of all but three of the members, and many of the leading local preachers, for their sympathies with the three ministers expelled by conference". There exists however no documentary evidence for this although we do have some idea of what happened. On 26th June 1850, Rose Hill had 17 members, by September 1850, only 8 remained, 9 having been reported as backsliders! By March 1851, only 6 members remained.
The membership of Rose Hill did not rise much during the 1850s despite the leadership of Benjamin Leonard the master of the school, which was on the same site as the chapel. (Edit: The school was called the Cingal School, which then became Single School over time, which inspired the name Singletree). The membership crisis culminated in the sale of the chapel back to Henry Leake in June of 1860 for £125 (£15,299 using cumulative RPI inflation as at 2020). One of the terms of the conveyance was that if no service was held in the chapel for a year, then the Weslyan Methodists should have the option of repurchase. This however never arose because three weeks after buying the chapel, the founder of the church re-opened it as a unit of the United Methodist Free Church. The transfer was completed on 3rd March 1861 when the chapel was conveyed from Mr. Leake to the United Methodist Free Church Trust for £125, the same amount the founder had paid for it some 10 months earlier.
Throughout the 1850s, the finances of Rose Hill seem to have been perilous. In 1854, for example, the chapel was in debt for between £20 and £30 (between £2,232 and £3,348 using cumulative RPI inflation as at 2020). Despite this, an extra collection was held in 1854 for the "Worn-out Ministers Fund".
Before the chapel at Rose Hill was built, the Iffley Methodists were decided on the need for a burial ground of their own. This came about because of objections raised by the then vicar of St. Mary's Church, Iffley, to allowing one of the Methodists, a "Brother Dyer", to be buried in the churchyard.
The earliest recorded burials at Rose Hill date from 1842, although it seems likely that there were internments before this. The graveyard was extended in 1868 with the purchase of a cottage and garden for £50 plus £12 legal expenses (£5,691 plus £1,366 using cumulative RPI inflation as at 2020). The last burials took place in 1962, just before the graveyard was closed in November 1963. Soon after this, most of the headstones were moved against the church garden wall, and the area was turfed to make maintenance easier.
By 1869, Rose Hill had 14 full members but also appears to have had two groups that met on Tuesday evenings which had about 30 members in total. Henry Leake still preached occasionally at Rose Hill, and it was he who took the chair at the Jubilee Celebrations in 1886. The events of that year raised £145 (£18,970 using cumulative RPI inflation as at 2020), allowing the graveyard to be enclosed and a new vestry to be added to the church. Sources of income at the Jubilee were seat rents, class tickets, teas and a horsedrawn hoseboat trip to Nuneham.
The village atmosphere at Rose Hill must still have prevailed. In the 1880s, Oxford had grown, but only as far as Magdalen Road. Littlemore, on the other hand, now had its own station on the Great Western Railway branch line from Aylesbury to Oxford.
From 1890 onwards, we have a better understanding of the day to day life of the church as the minute book exists of the Trustees, Leaders and Members meetings. Those of before 1890 were destroyed in a fire at a steward's house.
Two examples should suffice to give an impression of the issues of the 1890s. The first dates from September 1890. A suggestion was made that someone be appointed to light the fire in the church and to keep it clean. "Mrs. Brooks said she thought Mr. Ewers would let his servant do it". In 1894, a proposal was made that the time for morning service be changed from 11:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
It was in the 1890s that R.J. Campbell ("Campbell of Christ"), famous preacher at City Temple and later Chancellor of Chichester Cathedral, preached his first sermon at Rose Hill while still an undergraduate at Christ Church College, Oxford. Campbell was involved with Rose Hill for some time before moving to Brighton. It was R.J. Campbell, together with his friend Mr. Hignott, who presented the organ to the church in 1895.
In 1907, Rose Hill became a United Methodist Church on the amalgamation of the Free Methodists, the Methodist New Connexion and the Bible Christian Church. 1910 saw the death of Miss Jane Barton, the last surviving member at Rose Hill who remembered the days before the chapel building. She was buried in her family vault in the churchyard of St. Mary's Church in Iffley, with the Methodist Minister of the day conducting the service.
In the same year, there is some evidence of the ambition of the people of Rose Hill. At a meeting on the 1st February, 16 people were present, but elections were made to 32 offices including "leader of string music" and a "soup kitchen committee". Despite the election of a leader of string music, when the organist asked for the organ to be tuned before harvest, it was felt to be out of the question financially. However, there was to be an accompanying violin. By way of compensation for the organist, at the same meeting "N. Hyde was appointed organ blower for the night service".
It is impossible to know whether the soup kitchen committee were ever active, but perhaps they were, for in March 1913, the poor fund showed a deficit of 1s/6d due to it being "well used". In the same year, the usual donation of 10s/- to the infirmary was held back for the relief of the society's own poor.
Sunday School Outings
In the late 19th Century, one of the most popular Sunday School Outings was a houseboat trip to Nuneham. A day's outing was necessary as the boat moved slowly being pulled by a horse. Early in the 20th Century, other ideas were tried. For example, in 1910, "the Sunday School treat to Toot Baldon was reported a great success, two wagonettes, a van loaned by Littlemore Laundry and N.W. Weston's trolley conveying children and their friends". The following year, a different means of travel was used. The Sunday School travelled by rail from Littlemore to Mr. N. Lindsay's meadow at Horspath.
Little idea is gained in reading the minutes of the various meetings of the impact of the First World War on Rose Hill. However, in August 1915, a steward of the church, N.J. Weston, was reported as having joined the Blue Cross and left Oxford on active service. In July 1917, his death in France was noted, and a resolution was passed to provide some memorial to him.
In 1920, the morning service was dropped due to the small attendances, and with the aid of a group from Wesley Memorial Church, attempts were made to revitalise Rose Hill. Modifications were made on the church buildings in 1921, when gas was connected. Central heating and electricity were added in 1929. Surprisingly perhaps, no water was laid on at the church until about 1923.
By the 1920s, the area around the church was beginning to alter rapidly. The Morris works makes its first appearance on the maps of the area, and consequently, Cowley village had begun to grow. Despite the changes in the area, it was still possible in 1922 to walk from Iffley to Littlemore across fields.
The membership in 1925 was 34 having been boosted by a mission held in November 1924. This consisted of one event each night for a fortnight, and was advertised by handbills, windowbills and lantern advertising.
Discussion of the need for a schoolroom at Rose Hill began in 1928 and led to the purchase of Walnut Tree cottage, at the back of the church in 1930.
Decade of Chance
In 1935, Rose Hill celebrated its centenary in the midst of great social and environmental upheaval. Until the 1930s, Rose Hill itself had preserved its village-like character, but this was soon to disappear.
Throughout the 1920s, the development of the Pressed Steel Works had led to an influx of population to Oxford from the more depressed areas of the country, especially South Wales. This increase in population, together with the condemnation of some 500 houses in St. Ebbe's and St. Clement's under the 1910 Housing Act, led the city council to look for building land elsewhere. In 1933, the council bought land at Rose Hill and by late 1934, the first houses on the estate were ready for occupation. Building on Westbury Crescent and the Annersley Road area also dates from about this time.
In March 1935, Rose Hill had 48 members, some of whom met in April of that year to consider plans for the centenary. This initial meeting was very much a circuit celebration. On January 22nd, it is minuted that Gypsy Smith, a famous preacher ofthe day, had sent a telegram to one member of the church agreeing to come for a day of meetings on April 14th. The programme for the day, held at Wesley Memorial Church was as follows:
An afternoon meeting at 3:30 p.m.
Tea at 5:00 p.m.
An evening meeting at 6:30 p.m.
Tea tickets were to be 9d. The collection for the day's meetings amounted to £79/11s/2d, and tea tickets raised £14/4s/3d. There was a net profit of £63/4s/2d.
The programme for the events of June 1935 was as follows:
Saturday 1st June – 6:30 p.m. Reunion of "Pasts" and "Presents".
Sunday 2nd June – 8:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., 6:30 p.m. Preacher Revd. W.P. Austin "on site of the new church if fine".
Monday 3rd – 7:30 p.m. Open Air meeting of youth witness on site of new church.
Tuesday 4th – June 7:30 p.m. Local Preachers' night, Five minute speeches from 14 "locals".
Thursday 6th June – At Wesley Memorial Church:
4:00 p.m. Service.
5:15 p.m. Tea.
6:30 p.m. Hymn singing by a United Choir of Methodists.
7:00 p.m. Public Meeting.
Preachers Rev Luke Wiseman and Revd. W.P. Austin.
Sunday 9th June – 8:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Sunday School Centenary Anniversary.
Preachers Rev H.S. Derby and Mr. H.J. Martyr.
The final financial result of the June meetings and services was a net surplus of £1/9s/10d which, together with the surplus of the Gypsy Smith meeting, was transferred to the Building Fund. This has existed for several years since Rose Hill had begun to think about a new building in 1930. Rose Hill was allocated £700, of which £300 was spent on the new site. By 1938, doubts had arisen about the possibility of building a new church and modifications were suggested to the old building. In February 1939, the Joint Trust Meeting (the meeting of the "old" and "new" Rose Hill Trusts) saw the plans for the new scheme drawn up by Stewart and Cripps of Headington. By April 1940 a tender for £1677 for the building had been accepted.
The 1930s was a decade of change, but a familiar note is sounded in November 1938 when the Youth Fellowship were recorded as having collected the N.C.H. envelopes. In addition to the Youth Fellowship, there was an active Christian Endeavour Group, a Boys' Brigade and a Girls' Brigade.
There have been two major additions to the church, which in 1935, at the centenary, was much the same as it had been at its founding a century before. The original size can be seen from the ceiling in the back portion of the church today.
The first extension took place in 1940-1 and now forms the chancel part of the church. Before this, the pulpit was facing the front door, with the organ at the side and a vestry to the rear. When the extension was built, the pulpit and organ were moved to their present positions. Funds for the scheme were raised in a variety of ways including a "Round the World Bazaar" held in the school room at Cowley Road on November 6th 1937. On February 2nd 1939, the final choir perfomance took place before the builders moved in, a performance of "David the Shepherd Boy". Another part of the fundraising was the sale of "stones" and "bricks" in the new building. Donors of £5 or more were entitled to have a installed in the wall, still to be seen round the church walls outside, and those giving 5s/- were allowed a brick. The foundation stone was laid on 11th July 1940 and the extension was opened on 9th April 1942 by Miss Gladys Skipper, a member of Rose Hill, and Mayoress of Oxford.
The sale of "stones" was repeated in 1957 to raise funds for the second major extension, which provided extra accommodation at the rear of the church for youth work. The foundation stone was laid by Revd. Joseph Dowell on November 2nd 1957. In a box under the stone were placed photgraphs of the church, copies of the Oxford Mail and Methodist Recorder, a set of postage stamps, a photograph of a joint silver wedding party held at the church, coins, and a metal Boy Scouts woggle presented at the World Jambouree.
The total cost of this scheme was £4347 (£105,500 using RPI inflation as at 2020) of which £556 was raised locally, £2000 came from circuit funds, £790 from the Joseph Rank Trust and £300 from the Methodist Chapel Fund. In addition, over £600 came from a covenanted donation scheme. The extension was opened by Revd. Joseph Heaven on Saturday May 17th 1958.
The last major change to the interior of the church took place in the early 1960s. In 1960, the organ was rebuilt and a new oak case was dedicated to the memory of W.J.S. Bayliss who died in 1959. He had been a local preacher since 1898 and a trustee of Rose Hill since 1903. The organ itself, which was a gift to the church in 1895, has an interesting history. It is older than the church and was originally in St. Mary's Iffley Parish Church before it was sold to Paradise Square Baptist Church in 1875, then later moved to Rose Hill Methodist Church.
The 1960s saw the provision of a new light oak communion table, the new communion rail, the removal of the choir stalls and the carpeting of the chancel area. However, the front of the church as we know it today derives much of its character from the many memorial gifts it contains. The pulpit casing, organ screen, lectern, font and flower stands, together with other gifts such as the amplification system, were all donated by former members of the church. Perhaps the most strking of all the memorial gifts is the stained glass windows.
The first indications of the Second World War in the minutes of the period are the plans for the blackout of the church in Spetember 1939. Various activities were also stopped until the situation changed, or there was a full moon. In addition, it was decided to have a box in the vestry to supply "comforts" to "our young men who have joined the colours". By 1943, it is recorded that 30 people appearing on the community roll were on active service. The church also contributed its railings for the war effort getting compensation of £4/14s/4d.
In the anniversary year, the 16 members of the congregation with the longest association with Rose Hill were asked the names of the people they remembered best. What a roll of honour that was! Some names were mentioned by most, some by only one or two. The rest of this section is based on their memories.
Under the ministry of Revd. Joseph Heaven, 1946-1951, there was good lay leadership in every department of the church's life. There were six preachers in the congregation. A men's fellowship, 20 strong, met at the Manse and heard a range of speakers – many of whose names are now famous. Women's meetings were well very attended for some decades. Music was enjoyed – there was a choir of 23 members, and anthems were sung each Sunday. The choir was in much demand around the circuit. There were four organists to share the duties.
Soon after the war, the whole area was canvassed to find out where the church's future lay, and to discover the whereabouts of every old person, the ages of children and young people, their church allegiance if any, and to give an invitation to all. Involvement in the community became a priority and members of Rose Hill became Justices of the Peace, Local Councillors, Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen of the Rose Hill Community Centre (where Butler House now stands in Ashurst Way), and organised Worker's Education Association classes, sports facilities and dances. A branch Sunday School was run at the hut. Rose Hill has benefited from being part of the Oxford Circuit and many of our members have held Circuit Office and helped with and supported circuit events.
Records of Overseas Missions giving begin in 1937, when the total was £6/5s/10d. In 1984, the total given was £720, which was reached with the help of the Junior Missionary Association. Interest and enthuiasm have been fostered by devoted workers, who have kept the World Church very much in the minds of the congregation. Home Mission has been similarly supported.
The ministry of the Revd. H. Seymour Tonkin, 1951-1956, marked a period on consolidation and ecumenical links were strengthened. A Girl Guide Company was formed in 1952 (the same year that Rose Hill Primary School was started) and Brownies in 1953, both still going strong (as at 1985), Sunday School Anniversaries were a Sunday and Monday affair; outings to Wicksteed Park or Littlehampton needed two coaches to get everyone in.
During the Revd. Stanley Martin's ministry, 1956-1963, the Christmas Bazaar was replaced by a Gift Day, amazing for its generosity year by year. The social side was not neglected though, "Birthday Socials" took place bi-monthly, involving everyone. A Young Wives' group was formed, later to become the Women's Evening Fellowship. The Men's Regnal Circle organised lovely Christmas Parties for the elderly folk of the church and neighbourhood. Flower Shows and Garden Parties were great occasions. During the 1950s and 1960s, youth clubs were started as the need arose, Junior Christian Endeavour, Youth Missionary Association and Junior Choirs, all flourished and are fondly remembered by young adults in various parts of the country, and indeed the world.
The life and activity of the church continued steadily during the ministry of Revd. Philip Bate, 1963-1968. New ventures were introduced, including regular weekly visits to Littlemore Hospital to sing and spend time with the patients.
In 1968, the Oxford Circuit staff was reduced, the Westbury Crescent manse was sold, and Rose Hill once again came into the care of the Cowley Road minister – the Revd. Joe Gibbon. During his period of office, the congregation were helped towards a more lively social conscience and the social implications of the Christian Gospel, particularly in youth work, were appreciated and an "open" youth club was formed.
Over the years, worship has changed and developed in subtle ways, with more lay participation, family services and family communion. This was particularly so during the Revd. Frank Bishop's ministry, 1972-1978.
The Women's Fellowship has become the Wednesday Fellowship, welcoming men as well as women. Sunday School has become Junior Church. A warm and cooperative relationship with the Parish Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Iffley has been established. Bible Study and Fellowship Groups are meeting. A new Junior Youth Club was started in January 1985. The Revd. Alan Grist, who succeeded Revd. Frank Bishop, is leading us to a greater awareness of the needs of those around us, and the need to face up to the social changes in our world and to react effectively to them.
Throughout the 20th Century, children's ministry at Rose Hill was thriving. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Sunday School had about 100 children, who would meet for classes in the morning, games in the afternoon, and went on regular day-long outings to places in and around Oxford on Saturdays.
The Boys Brigade (which closed in the 1990s) was also extensive and was one of the biggest battalions in Oxfordshire for several years. They would often process round what is now Temple Cowley shopping centre in dress uniform.
(If anyone has any photos from this time, we'd love to share them on our website. Please send them to Libby).
Each of the former ministers in his taped message for the Gift Day Celebration, "Rose Hill – This is Your Life", remembered Rose Hill as a very caring fellowship. We gratefully thank God for the caring example of our ministers and their wives. Lines from an 18th Century hymn and a 20th Century hymn express our thankfulness and dedication:
"We'll praise Him for all that is past,
And trust Him for that's to come."
"Then give us courage, Father God,
To choose again the pilgrim way,
And help us to accept with joy
The challenge of tomorrows day."
We exist to create opportunities for all to share God's love. We:
Aim to be a welcoming church at the heart of our community;
Allow space for the gifts of all people to develop, in order to respond to God's love;
Reach out to all people at their point of need.


These works are one of a collection we have for sale from an early nineteenth-century album with a cover inscription that reads 'The Property of St. Cyres Guest House, Jersey'. The label is a bit of a misnomer, as the book was actually used as a commonplace album once owned by a Jane Dorothea Warde, daughter of the Reverend Richard Warde at Yalding Vicarage in Kent. Executed by a number of hands, and filled with rich prose, poetry and artworks spanning from 1812 to 1827, the works in this book form a microcosm of popular taste in the late Georgian world, but also of the cultivated intimacy that passed freely between family and friends.
The inscription on the first page reads 'Jane Warde, from her brother R.R. (Richard Ramsay) Warde, June 26th, 1817', indicating that it is likely that as a book of blank paper, the album was either found or bought and then gifted and reused by the then sixteen-year-old Jane as a place to collect personal items from family, friends and acquaintances. The book was likely printed some years earlier, in 1813, which would explain why a majority of the images in this collection bear an 1813 Molineux & Johnston (M&J) Prince of Wales paper watermark regardless of the date on the image. Jane appears to have moved in upper class circles - outside of many family members whose names can be traced in the book, it also includes works by high members of the Royal Navy, the children of wealthy landowners from Scotland and Wales, as well as a banker from Brighton, who later became infamous for swindling his investors in a widely publicised court case in 1842.
Though the skill level varies between artists, and the works range from impromptu drawings to copies of popular prints, each work is crafted with delicate attention to detail, with even the more cursory drawings containing an element of wit and vivacity. Each image tells a small piece of the story of its individual artist, and is an exciting piece of the historical record of late Georgian society.

US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 417 F.2d 1063 (9th Cir. 1969)
Richard Gladstein (argued) and Norman Leonard, of Gladstein, Andersen, Leonard & Sibbett, San Francisco Cal., for appellant.
Donald C. Carroll (argued) and Charles P. Scully, San Francisco, Cal., John J. Blake, Kansas City, Kan., for appellees.
Before ELY and CARTER, Circuit Judges, and POWELL, District Judge* .
This appeal is from a judgment of dismissal of appellant's complaint in which he asked for reinstatement in appellee union. His union trial resulted in a finding of guilty and a sentence of indefinite suspension. The trial judge in his able opinion1 detailed the facts and contentions of the parties. We adopt his conclusions and affirm.
Burke was assistant business manager of Local 6 of International Brotherhood of Boilermakers etc., appellee. His and other locals had voted in a referendum on a contract with Pacific Coast shipbuilders. Burke claimed there were irregularities in the voting. The contracts had been printed and were ready for delivery.
Burke, without authority but in a good faith attempt to thwart the delivery of the contract until the claimed vote irregularities were investigated, picked up and retained all of the printed copies of the contract. At first he refused to return them. After keeping them for about 24 hours and following some pressure on appellant they were returned.
Appellant was charged by the International with taking the contracts without authority in violation of the International Constitution, Article XVII, Section 1 (e), (f), (g), (k) and (l). He was tried by a panel of International officers. The trial court found the union trial (Ex. 21) was not violative of the rights of the appellant as guaranteed by 29 U.S.C. § 411(a) (1), (2) and (5). From the record before us we find no basis to conclude that the facts as found were clearly erroneous. (Rule 52 F.R. Civ.P.).

UK Court jails 37-year-old Nigerian man for 4 years over plans to meet with a 14-year-old girl
Insidelife January 8, 2023 2 min read
photo culled from Afropolitan TV
A Nigerian man, Osakpolor Jimoh, 37, who traveled down from Scotland to meet with a girl he met on the internet who had just turned 14 at Leeds, has been jailed for three years and nine months on five counts including attempting to meet child following sexual grooming, attempting to incite child to engage in sexual activity and attempting to cause child to watch sexual act.
He was arrested in Leeds Rail Station on October 24, 2022, after booking a two-night stay at a hotel. A sentencing hearing at Leeds Crown Court heard that Jimoh, of Clovenstone Park, Edinburgh, had added the decoy profile as a Facebook friend back in May.
After striking up a conversation with what he thought was a 13-year-old girl, he claimed he was 19, and asked if she had a boyfriend. He then told her she was "beautiful" and suggested the two have a "secret relationship", before the conversation moved over to WhatsApp.
He soon asked her questions about her body and her sexual experience.
He then sent her pornographic videos of himself, and became " aggressive " with her, as she would not send him explicit photos of herself, telling her she should "keep her man happy". He also insisted the girl refer to him as "daddy".
After arranging to meet who he thought was the girl, he was caught in Leeds Rail Station, and was found to have condoms and lollipops with him.
When he was questioned by police, Jimoh admitted he communicated with the profile, but claimed it was more like a "father-daughter" relationship.

However, mitigating for Jimoh, Robin Frieze told the court: These are serious offences and the defendant is very sorry. This is the first time he has ever been in prison – he has found being in there very stressful." He added that, while Jimoh was living in Edinburgh, he had cleaned on a voluntary basis for the local community "to keep himself occupied". Recorder Mark McKome subsequently sentenced him to three years and nine months in prison.

Q: Excel: Set Text Colour of result in Excel formula Excel: Is it possible to set the text colour of a result of a formula within the formula code?

A: You could achieve this with the use of a helper cell or VBA code.  Conditional formatting can colour based on the result of a cell matching a value, being in a rage etc or even if you want to format it according to a formula.  Conditional formatting also does not have to be based on the cell it is applied to but could be based on the value from other cells.
So as Scott said, not in the formula itself, but there are other ways to automatically colour code based n values.

BBQGuys History
From local brick-and-mortar store to national e-commerce giant.
For as much success as BBQGuys has generated as an e-commerce company, we actually began as a humble brick-and-mortar store amid the online shopping revolution. The Grill Store & More, founded by Mike and Ladina Hackley in 1998, did exactly what its name promised — provided outdoor cooking and living products to the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, area. Within 2 years, the business opened a New Orleans location to serve a greater portion of Southeast Louisiana. But even as The Grill Store & More took off, the Hackleys couldn't ignore the endless possibilities presented by the emerging world of online shopping.
They responded to the quickly changing business landscape by launching BBQGuys.com in 2000. As we continued to expand beyond grills and outdoor cooking products, our focus pivoted to becoming the e-commerce destination for all outdoor living needs. BBQGuys.com was joined by sister sites UltimatePatio.com and GasLogGuys.com under the umbrella of ShoppersChoice.com, which soon staked its claim as the online leader for outdoor living products.
The industry began to take notice, with ShoppersChoice.com landing on the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private businesses in 2008. We then earned a spot on the Internet Retailer's ranking of the 500 fast-growing online retailers, and we haven't left either list for more than a decade. Along the way, ShoppersChoice.com picked up an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau that we still hold to this day.
Sounds like a storybook ending for a brick-and-mortar store, right? Well, those were only the first few chapters. We turned a huge page in early 2019 when we folded all our sister sites into the BBQGuys brand, a move that has streamlined customer experiences by bringing all our products under a single roof. And that roof is a pretty big one — 110,000 square feet, to be exact. That's the size of BBQGuys' Baton Rouge headquarters, which is home to 3 warehouses, a growing call center, our showroom, an outdoor kitchen design service, and all our online operations staff.
Perhaps our proudest moment came shortly after the BBQGuys rebrand, when the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship selected us as a National Small Business of the Week in April 2019. A few months later, the Baton Rouge Business Report named BBQGuys one of the area's top 100 private companies for the year.
As was the case for most businesses, 2020 delivered numerous challenges to our doorstep. Foremost among them, of course, was the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced us to reconfigure our operations for the health and well-being of our employees. But that period of uncertainty was when our resolve burned brightest — over the course of a few weeks, we pivoted to a work-from-home setup for 160 employees while ensuring the continued safety of our essential, on-site personnel. We even hired dozens of new employees to keep up with rapidly increasing demand, providing jobs for the local workforce in a time of stark economic downturn.
But the strangest year in recent memory also brought some good news: our acquisition by private equity firm Brand Velocity Partners. With BVP's brand-building and marketing muscle, BBQGuys is on track to further cement itself as the leader in the grilling and outdoor living industry. Why not stick around and see what great things we can accomplish together?
Our customer service reps are real people offering great service, backed by 8 weeks of hands-on training with all of our products.
Founded in Baton Rouge in 1998, BBQGuys is proud to call South Louisiana home (yes, the food's as good as they say it is).
If you can dream it, we can design it. Our outdoor kitchen design experts have helped thousands of customers transform their backyards at no extra cost.
Mike Hackley's true passion is innovation, which is why he can often be found in the warehouse testing original products with our R&D team.
BBQGuys does more than test and sell grills — we show you how to use them, too. Our experts provide the recipes and skills you need to be a grill master.
From food drives to historical preservation, we're passionate about lifting up and giving back to our community.
We strive for the perfect balance of workplace and community to create a fun, enjoyable environment for all of our employees.

Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings
Filmmaker: Tadashi Nakamura
Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings is a compelling portrait of an inspiring and inventive musician whose virtuoso skills on the ukulele have transformed all previous notions of the instrument's potential. Through intimate conversations with Shimabukuro (she-ma-BOO-koo-row), Life on Four Strings reveals the cultural and personal influences that have shaped the man and the musician. On the road from Los Angeles to New York to Japan, the film captures the solitary life on tour: the exhilaration of performance, the wonder of newfound fame, the loneliness of separation from home and family.
Tadashi Nakamura was named one of CNN's "Young People Who Rock" for being the youngest filmmaker at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival and listed as one of the "Top Rising Asian American Directors" on IMDb. The fourth-generation Japanese American recently completed Mele Murals, a documentary on the transformative power of modern graffiti art and ancient Hawaiian culture for a new generation of Native Hawaiians. Mele Murals was broadcasted on PBS and Al Jazeera and has received 14 awards at film festivals around the world. His film Jake Shimabukuro: Life on Four Strings was broadcasted nationally on PBS and went on to win the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Audience Award, which was in competition with 12 Years a Slave and Fruitvale Station.
Nakamura's trilogy of documentary films on the Japanese American experience, Yellow Brotherhood (2003), Pilgrimage (2007) and A Song for Ourselves (2009) have garnered over 20 awards. Nakamura has an M.A. in Social Documentation from UC Santa Cruz, a B.A. in Asian American Studies from UCLA where he graduated Summa Cum Laude.

Chineasy – przedsiębiorstwo internetowe powstałe w celu popularyzacji nauki znaków pisma chińskiego, założone przez ShaoLan Hsueh, która zadebiutowała na konferencji TED Talk w lutym 2013, i ufundowane dzięki kampanii crowdfundingowej na Kickstarterze w lipcu 2013.

Metoda nauki
Wielu ludzi jest wzrokowcami, co znaczy, że łatwiej zapamiętują informacje jeżeli są one przedstawione w formie graficznej. Chineasy uczy poprzez ilustracje mające ułatwiać zapamiętywanie znaków zarówno tradycyjnego pisma chińskiego, jak i uproszczonego, choć należy pamiętać, że wiele chińskich znaków wygląda tak samo w obu tych odmianach pisma. Ilustracje zostały zaprojektowane przez wielu różnych ilustratorów, jak na przykład Noma Bar. W marcu 2014 wydano książkę Chineasy: Nowy sposób czytania po chińsku, a w marcu 2016 opublikowano kolejną – Chineasy Everyday, która zawiera około 400 najczęściej używanych i najprzydatniejszych znaków, wyrażeń i zdań. Oprócz nauki chińskiego oferuje krótkie historie wyjaśniające chińską kulturę. W lipcu 2016 Chineasy pojawiło się w aplikacji Tinycards należącej do Duolingo. W styczniu 2017 zaczęto nagrywać z zapraszanymi gośćmi serię podcastów poświęconych językowi i kulturze Chin – Talk Chineasy.

Odbiór
Chineasy wiele razy było komentowane w prasie, na przykład w Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal i tygodniku Time. W styczniu 2014 wygrało nagrodę magazynu Wallpaper.

We have bought some wall lights from Ikea that go with a mirror, expecting a plug on the end of a cable to power them. However, when the box was opened, it needed a cable from a lighting circuit in the wall to be attached to the lights (which we don't have).
Is there any reason I can't attach a normal appliance plug and cable instead?
If so what do I do with the earth wire on the cable as there is nowhere to connect it on the (plastic) light fitting?
If the fitting has a double square one inside the other it is Class II and does not require an earth fitting a plug would require a max 5 amp fuse more likely 1 or 3 amp. Not sure of if they can sell without a plug not sure where the line between installed lights and free standing lights falls.
Can i run two bed side lamps off one plug??
Wall Lamps! Have I messed up???

BeggarsCanBeChoosers.com: Pentagon Institute: Iraq War "A Major Debacle" With Outcome "In Doubt"
Pentagon Institute: Iraq War "A Major Debacle" With Outcome "In Doubt"
A report released Thursday describes the Iraq War as "a major debacle" in which the outcome "is in doubt."
Who published these harshly critical words? An anti-war group? Some obscure left-wing blog? The Huffington Post? Code Pink?
Uh, no: actually this sharp criticism came from none other than the National Defense University, a leading Pentagon military educational institute.
One wonders how the Bush White House (as well as its allies at Fox News and HateWing radio) will spin this story. No doubt, they will either ignore the story, or attack or smear its authors.
To which I say: Good luck with that.
Bush will have a tough time trying to debunk this stunning report. After all, as McClatchy Newspapers noted, "the report carries considerable weight because it was written by Joseph Collins, a former senior Pentagon official, and was based in part on interviews with other former senior defense and intelligence officials who played roles in prewar preparations."
The report's opening sentence says it all: "Measured in blood and treasure, the war in Iraq has achieved the status of a major war and a major debacle."
Watch out for major NeoCon spin control in the weeks ahead. And look out for the Republicans to throw a major hissy fit. I suspect they'll also be angry at McClatchy for simply publishing this story in the first place.
It was published by the university's National Institute for Strategic Studies, a Defense Department research center.
"Measured in blood and treasure, the war in Iraq has achieved the status of a major war and a major debacle," says the report's opening line.
At the time the report was written last fall, more than 4,000 U.S. and foreign troops, more than 7,500 Iraqi security forces and as many as 82,000 Iraqi civilians had been killed and tens of thousands of others wounded, while the cost of the war since March 2003 was estimated at $450 billion .
"No one as yet has calculated the costs of long-term veterans' benefits or the total impact on service personnel and materiel," wrote Collins, who was involved in planning post-invasion humanitarian operations.
Read the rest of the McClatchy story here. Go here to read the Pentagon institute report.
Quite an eye-opening report. I'm surprised it didn't get more play in the MSM.
Surprising the "liberal media" has not been all over this. Liberal blogs and anti war groups have been saying this for several years, ever since "Mission Accomplished." Will the report make a difference. I think not. Nothing will change until Bush and Cheney are gone and we have saner leadership.
Just some more of that ultraleftist surrender monkey misinformation. We're WINNING! Just look at how..... uh, we're winning!

KARL MALONE Biography - Famous Sports men and women
Biography » famous sports men and women » karl malone
Name: Karl Malone
Born: 24 July 1963 Bernice, Louisiana
Karl Anthony Malone (born July 27, 1963, in Bernice, Louisiana) is a retired
American professional basketball player. He was nicknamed in college as the
Mailman for his consistency ("the mailman always delivers") and his work in the
post. Malone twice won the NBA Most Valuable Player award. He is generally
considered one of the greatest power forwards in NBA history, and has scored the
second most points in NBA history, trailing only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
On May 30, 2007, Malone was named director of basketball promotion and assistant
strength and conditioning coach at his alma mater, Louisiana Tech University in
Ruston.
Malone spent his first 18 seasons (1985–2003) as the star player for the Utah
Jazz. He then played one season (2003-04) for the Los Angeles Lakers before
retiring.
Even though his teams never won a championship, Malone was more famous for his
extremely well-defined physique, which resembled that of a bodybuilder. Along
with Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Dominique Wilkins, Elgin Baylor, Reggie
Miller, Pete Maravich, and his longtime Jazz teammate John Stockton, he is
considered to be one of the best players never to have won a championship.
Malone's jersey was retired on March 23, 2006, when the Jazz hosted the
Washington Wizards. He was also honored with the unveiling of a bronze statue
outside the EnergySolutions Arena next to teammate John Stockton, and the
renaming of a portion of 100 South St. in Salt Lake City in his honor. The
intersection where the Stockton and Malone statues stand is now the intersection
of Stockton and Malone.

Before and during the First World War, the French Navy (Marine Nationale) built, ordered or designed four classes of dreadnoughts. Though the latter two looked impressive at first glance, none of these were particularly good fighting ships. Rejecting outside influences, the French went their own way and ended up a generation behind everyone else.
Those older ships show up in modernized form in Second Great War at Sea: The Cruel Sea, but there's only so much modernization can do to overcome poor design. When the French began work on a new generation of fast battleships, they once again went their own way in terms of design, and while they still lagged behind the world standard, this time the French managed to create much more effective warships.
Partly that had to do with the design team. Where the early French dreadnoughts had been drafted by young naval architects without actual experience at sea, in the 1930's French warship design was overseen by Vice Admiral Georges Durand-Viel, who had studied naval architecture when already in his 30's (among other engineering subjects), yet also commanded a series of warships including the dreadnought Provence. He had drafted a proposed battle cruiser for the Naval War College in 1914.
Despite the destruction of German naval power after the Great War, Durand-Viel believed that France would be out-numbered at sea in a future war. In answer, he sought ships of high speed able to act against enemy commerce in a Force de Raid with the firepower to destroy convoy escorts and enemy raiders on a similar mission.
He personally prepared the sketches for the battle cruiser Dunkerque, intended as a counter to the German commerce-raiding armored cruisers of the Deutschland class as well the old Italian battleships of the Conte di Cavour and Andrea Doria classes. Dunkerque carried eight 330mm (13-inch) guns in two quadruple turrets, both of them forward. That arrangement allowed a smaller armored citadel, but also grouped the main armament close together to improve gunnery.
Compared to earlier French battleships, Dunkerque and her near-sister Strasbourg (built with heavier armor) finally adopted many state-of-the-art principles. They had all-or-nothing armor, protecting only their vital areas (a scheme adopted by the Americans nearly 20 years earlier) and good underwater protection. Their power plants featured high-pressure boilers and geared turbines, their secondary and anti-aircraft armament was entirely mounted in turrets, and they were designed from the start to operate aircraft.
The Great Depression hit France very hard, and did so later than most other countries. French shipyards proved unable to complete the new battle cruisers very quickly; Dunkerque took five and a half years to complete and Strasbourg four and a half. They had brief and not very successful careers and were scuttled by their crews in November 1942.
While successfully meeting their design requirements, the two battle cruisers fell short as combat ships. They were fast, but their 13-inch guns were unable to penetrate the armor of most true battleships while their own armor could not keep out heavy shells. They had been designed to defeat two classes of potential opponents (the German armored cruisers and old Italian battleships) and on paper at least could do so, and the German battle cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau as well. But they were no substitute for actual battleships.
The Washington naval limitations agreements would have allowed the French to build three of these battle cruisers, but after authorizing Strasbourg the Marine Nationale preferred to move on to a real fast battleship. We included the third ship of the class in The Cruel Sea, even though the French Navy never asked for her – in our alternative history, the agreements give them the incentive to do so and she's laid down along with her sisters somewhat earlier than actually occurred (the design phase, as well as the construction phase, took a great deal longer than in most other countries).
Instead of a third battle cruiser, the Marine Nationale prepared the Richelieu class fast battleships. Durand-Viel also oversaw their design, though in an administrative role rather than with the hands-on work he had put in on the Dunkerque project. Richelieu would follow the pattern set by Dunkerque, with all of her armament forward in two quadruple turrets for her eight 380mm (15-inch) guns.
The quadruple turrets saved considerable weight in comparison to dual or triple mounts, but they could not accommodate larger guns without pushing the ship over her treaty-limited maximum displacement of 35,000 tons. As with all previous French designs for quadruple-gun turrets, these were actually two gunhouses mounted on a single turntable and barbette, each with two guns, with an armored screen dividing them.
The Richelieu design placed the guns in paired cradles, and experience would eventually show that they had been mounted so close together that the guns of one pair could not be fired simultaneously, or the wake of one shells would interfere with the flight of the other, resulting in broad dispersal patterns. After the war, the center guns would be fitted with a delay coil which caused them to fire .06 seconds after the outer guns; the ships' new fire-control radar required full salvos to be fired for maximum effectiveness.
The Model 1935 guns themselves were not particularly good weapons, comparing poorly to the contemporary Ansaldo 15-inch guns fitted on the new Italian Littorio-class ships. They were heavy, complex to manufacture with many separate parts, and had a slow rate of fire. They also had a propensity to hang fire; three of Richelieu's eight guns were destroyed by such accidents during the brief September 1940 clash with the British at Dakar (check out the photo above). The Model 1935 had a bore slightly smaller than 15 inches; ammunition manufactured for other 15-inch guns would not fit the breach.
Richelieu introduced a new secondary battery, nine 152mm (6-inch) guns in three triple turrets sited aft. This was a nominally dual-purpose mount allowing high-angle anti-aircraft fire but in practice their rate of fire, training and elevation were all too slow to effectively engage aerial targets. Richelieu had barbettes fitted for two more turrets forward on either side of the bridge, but these were replaced by lighter anti-aircraft weapons during construction. A dozen 100mm (3.9-inch) guns in six dual mounts provided medium anti-aircraft cover and an array of 37mm guns were carried as well, later replaced by Bofors 40mm guns.
Like Dunkerque, Richelieu featured all-or-nothing armor; her long bow section was unarmored except for a thin armored deck. Her belt armor was slightly thinner than that of other battleships of her time, but unlike those ships Richelieu's armor was sloped to hopefully provide relatively better protection. She had a massive power plant producing 150,000 horsepower – the largest fitted in a battleship to date – good for 30 knots' top speed, not quite as much as the Italian Littorio made on less power.
While less relatively backward than earlier French designs, Richelieu still lagged behind foreign ships. She was not as good a fighting ship as Littorio, which carried one more 15-inch gun with better speed and protection (although the Italians, unlike the French, cheated considerably on the 35,000-ton limit).
The Marine Nationale laid down Richelieu and her sister, Jean Bart, in 1935 and 1936. Another pair would be ordered in 1938 to be built in the same graving docks; France lacked the capacity to build many heavy ships at the same time and had laid down a pair of aircraft carriers on the slipways where Dunkerque and Strasbourg were built. The third ship would have been slightly modified, and the fourth considerably modified with her turrets sited fore and aft rather than both of them forward.
Richelieu and Jean Bart don't appear in The Cruel Sea; they're found in La Regia Marina. The two originally projected sisters built to the Richelieu design appear, here named Clemenceau (as planned) and Charlemagne (not as planned – the fourth would have been Gascoigne). The re-designed Gascoigne leads her own class of fast battleship, and we'll look at her next time.


Jose Ignacio Rodriguez is a producer of kiwi fruit and has its farm in the town of San Vicente de Tagua Tagua, in the Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins region.
He's been cultivating this fruit for 21 years, focused on the Hayward variety, but recently planted Jintao kiwis, as the climate is very favorable for its development.
He meets all national and international certifications for the production of fruit, so the quality is guaranteed, as well as the working conditions under which kiwis are produced. Not for nothing it is the same people who come to work every year to this property.


There's a lot of intriguing storylines. This game will be crucial for quarterbacks to see how they can operate an offense. This backup quarterback storyline is intriguing to me because that guy will only be a play away. They're all young. Zach Calzada gets a pass because he's still learning, but the other two guys have been on campus long enough to start making some plays today.
You can tell if a guy is comfortable based on how quick he gets the ball out.


In Conflict With Trump Agenda, California Sets Stricter Auto Emissions Standards California put itself on a collision course with the Trump Administration as the state's clean air agency moved forward with stricter emissions requirements for trucks and cars.
California put itself on a collision course with the Trump Administration as the state's clean air agency moved forward with stricter emissions requirements for trucks and cars.
California's state regulators voted unanimously to go ahead with tough fuel standards setting up a potential conflict with the Trump administration. Now, California has been a leader in the world of cars and environmental regulations. The Golden State's clean air laws, for example, were precursors to the Federal Clean Air Act.
Now with the Trump administration's appointment of a climate change skeptic to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, California is positioning itself as the opposition especially when it comes to cars. NPR's Sonari Glinton covers the auto industry and was nice enough to pull over from his Sunday test drive to tell us more. Sonari, Welcome back. Thanks for joining us once again.
SONARI GLINTON, BYLINE: It's good to be with you as always.
MARTIN: So what just happened in California?
GLINTON: Well, the California Air Resources Board which sort of predates the EPA voted unanimously to go ahead with its clean car program and that mandates a certain percentage of cars in the fleet be zero emissions or essentially electric. And the state already has about half of the electric cars. Though, their sales are going pretty slowly right now.
But what it did was it doubled down against the administration who voted to look back into tough fuel standards that the Obama administration put into place.
MARTIN: Now, Scott Pruitt is the Trump administration's new head of the Environmental Protection Agency. He was on the ABC News program "This Week" talking about his plans to re-evaluate fuel standards. Let's play a short clip.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: But will you let California go forward?
PRUITT: They keep older cars.
MARTIN: If you couldn't hear what he was just saying, he says because - Scott Pruitt saying because people don't buy the new cars, they keep the older cars. But help me understand what he's saying. I mean, Secretary Pruitt says that the focus on fuel efficient cars isn't that helpful because people are going to keep their older cars. But don't consumers want more fuel efficient cars?
GLINTON: They absolutely do. The number one thing that consumers want improved on their vehicles is fuel efficiency. However, at the same time, people are buying more and more SUVs. Though, those SUVs are more fuel efficient. What the standards are saying is that we are going to need to have far more electric cars on the road.
But what's interesting about the electric car, it's the only consumer product that I've heard of where the companies say build an interest first, and then we'll sell them. I mean, electric vehicles are really on the bubble here. And if these fuel standards are relaxed, many people in the industry see the electric car dying yet again. And that's really important when it comes to getting these big fuel savings.
MARTIN: So remind us again of why California gets to have its own rules and is the Trump administration saying something about that?
GLINTON: Well, California has the dirtiest air and the most cars, and that was what brought about the creation of the California Air Resources Board. And when the Clean Air Act came along, Congress allowed California to have a waiver to make its standards tougher than the national standards. Now, this is a wrinkle that really, really bugs the auto industry because essentially they have to deal with regulators in Washington and in the state of California.
And about 13 states sign on to California's tailpipe rules which means that about 40 percent of the country adheres to California's standards, so regulatory-wise California has a really, really big role. Though, the Trump administration so far says it's not about to get into this fight. Now, this is such a huge fight that almost every single environmental group or consumer group says that they would weigh in with a lawsuit.
MARTIN: What does this mean for the future of hybrid and electric cars? Because on the one hand, we keep hearing so much about them and yet what are you saying?
GLINTON: A lot of these cars are not making money, so even some of the more aggressive car companies look like if these fuel standards are rolled back, they will sort of drop some of their electric car programs. However, the wedge is California, China and Europe which all sort of are mandating right now that car companies have more and more zero emissions vehicles. So there's kind of this standoff right now, and it's going to play out over the next couple of years between the EPA and California.
MARTIN: That's NPR's Sonari Glinton. Sonari, thank you.


One of the primary purposes of the additional 40,000-square foot (12,192-square meter) building was to create an attractive, intelligent work environment to accommodate various administrative departments such as procurement, admittance and accounts payable. Some of these groups function in teams, others operate independently, and some have call-intensive functions.
One hundred-eight, HPC-coated, 46- by 72- by 3-inch (1168 by 1829 by 76 mm)-thick concave and convex WHISPERWAVE clouds were installed in three spaces—all with 18-foot ceilings. The majority of the clouds were suspended above both open-plan office areas—the smaller designed to accommodate 50 staff members, the larger 110 employees.
Made from Class 1 fire-rated, lightweight willtec® foam, WHISPERWAVE Ceiling Clouds are offered with standard and custom designs in natural white or light grey. An optional HPC protective coating is available in black, white, light blue, almond, ivory, light and medium grey colors. Cloud sizes may be any dimension up to 48 by 96 inches (1219 by 2438 mm), and the standard thickness is 3 inches (76 mm).


Astroboffins marks the presence of a cluster of black holes right at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. This time the discovery peeps out from the desk of Chandra X-ray Observatory of the National Aeronautical and Space Administration Centre.
The newly discovered cluster consists of stellar mass black holes lurking at the focal point of the Milky Way galaxy. These black holes are approximately five to thirty times the mass of the Sun. The cluster as observed at a distance of three light years. It is at a relatively shorter length on the cosmic scales.
Our Galaxy's focal point is known as the Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). The recent study indicates that a massive population of the black holes approximately twenty thousand in number could collect around the Sagittarius A*. This Chandra data analysis is first of its kind.
When you see an ideal black hole, it appears invisible. It is only after locking up with a star, does it pulls the gas from its stellar companion. Astronomers denote this phenomenon as X-ray binaries. It first falls down a disk and heats itself up to millions of degrees. Later, it gives rise to the X-rays before it vanishes as a black hole. The Chandra image features some of the X-ray binaries as point sources.
The Chandra data were further analyzed by a team of researchers from the Columbia University in New York to search for the X-ray binaries near Sgr A*. The team was lead by Chuck Hailey. They analyzed and studied the X-ray spectra. The X-ray spectrum represents the amount of the X-rays seen at different energy levels.
The researchers then picked up the relevant data with the spectrum that resembles the known X-ray binaries possessing X-rays of lower energy levels. With the help of this protocol, the research team came up with the fourteen X-ray binaries, which are present within three light years of the Sagittarius A*.
A paper reflecting the studies appears in the journal Nature under April 5 issue.

Modifying the ldap server list in the/etc/opt/novell/ncs/clstrlib.conf file to point to another LDAP server allows the node to join the cluster and update or pull the cluster information down through ldap. However, pointing the ldap server to itself would always result in the failure to join the cluster and the "/opt/novell/ncs/bin/ncs-configd.py -init" script would simply return back to the prompt without updating cluster files in "/var/opt/novell/ncs/" directory.
Delete the LDAP group object for the nonworking server and recreate it. Make sure to relink it to the LDAP Server object.
Unloaded and reloaded NLDAP. "nldap -u" to unload and "nldap -l" to load.
