emma-kate davies, known as emma davies (born 7 march 1970), is an english actress. she is the daughter of actor geoffrey davies, of the television comedy series "doctor in the house". she is notably recognised for her role of anna de souza in the itv soap "emmerdale" and for her portrayal of diana mitford-guinness (later lady diana mosley) in the channel 4 mini series "mosley". she currently resides in barnes, south-west london with her husband ross allen, a garden designer and their daughter camille.
davies' father, the stage and television actor geoffrey davies, influenced her choice of career immensely. he would often let her watch his stage performances from the wings as a child. she says that she "watched his plays nearly every night" and "knew all the lines."
he also landed emma her first television role at the age of 18 months on the 1970s sitcom, "the fenn street gang". she says, "i was in a pram and had to stuff an ice cream cone into someone's face!".
she also appeared in a television advert for colgate toothpaste when she was 14.
she trained at the corona theatre school in london, and has been acting in small tv roles since the mid-1980s. in that time she has appeared in television series "heartbeat", "doctors" and sky one's "dream team".
her first television role was as teenager jo daly in central television's midlands based drama "boon" between 1987 and 1989. she later played juliette bannerman in the itv soap "families" in 1993.
in 1997, emma portrayed the controversial historical figure diana mitford (later diana mitford-guinness and lady diana mosley) in the biographical channel four mini-series "mosley".
in 2001, she also had a small role in michael apted's popular film "enigma". and in 2007 she was cast alongside david morrissey, lucy cohu and tristan gemmill in the short-lived channel four drama "cape wrath", as regular character abigail york.
in june 2008 it was announced that she would join "emmerdale" as anna de souza. she made her debut on the soap on 8 july. however, on 15 october 2008, it was announced that emma would be leaving the show at the end of 2008. with the upcoming departures of her onscreen father donald de souza (michael jayston), and onscreen fiancé matthew king (matt healy) and the axing of her onscreen brother, miles de souza, anna would have been left as a singular character with no family, so it was decided that her contract would not be renewed.
in an interview on itv's chat show "loose women" on 12 december 2008, emma announced that she would be starring alongside laurence fox, matthew macfadyen and sally hawkins in itv's version of e. m. forster's classic novel, "a passage to india". however, less than a week later, itv confirmed that the adaption had been axed before filming even began due to "financial reasons".
davies made her second appearance in the bbc drama "doctors" starring alongside her father in an episode entitled "toys" in which the pair played an estranged father and daughter.
in 2010 she made an appearance in an episode of medical drama "holby city" playing a distressed lawyer.
in the field of economics, the commodity value of a good is its free market intrinsic value under optimal use conditions. in a free market, the commodity value of a good will be reflected by its price. for example, if an acre of land can yield a net of 100 dollars loss by lying fallow, 50 dollars gain by being planted with corn, and 100 dollars gain by being planted with wheat, then that acre's commodity value is 100 dollars; the farmer is assumed to put his land to best use. the price of a commodity fluctuates around its commodity value.
a commodity value expressed as a price is determined by historical, social and cultural aspects of production and distribution. karl marx described price as the money-name for the labour realised in a commodity. a commodity value is dependent on its utility.
commodity value is of particular significance in the study of currency. for example, the commodity value of a coin is the value of the metal of which it is made. gold and silver coins have a high commodity value, whereas fiat coins such as modern day quarters have a low commodity value. this is of particular historical relevance when analyzed in light of gresham's law.
because money becomes valuable not due to its substance, that is, its commodity value, but rather because of its performance, currencies tend to become token.
asset backed debt has a commodity value equal to the price of the collateral; a loan backed by a house has a commodity value equal to the free market price of the house. non-collateralized debt, on the other hand, does not have a commodity value; it is valuable only insofar as it is repaid.
commodity value is an important consideration in hedging against inflation. whereas fiat currencies can devalue, often catastrophically, currencies with considerable commodity value are known to better maintain their value; a government can print as many fiat bills as it wants with relative ease, the same is not true of mining precious metals. this leads some investors to purchase goods and debts with high commodity value, which are inherently safer than those with low, or no commodity value, minimizing risk by sacrificing potential return.

the bali sea () is the body of water north of the island of bali and south of kangean island in indonesia. the sea forms the south-west part of the flores sea, and the madura strait opens into it from the west.
the bali sea is sometimes grouped with flores sea for oceanographic purposes, however in some nautical charts, bali sea is written as a distinct sea for navigation. the sea has an area of and a maximum depth of .
the international hydrographic organization (iho) defines the bali sea as being one of the waters of the east indian archipelago. the iho defines its limits as follows:
"on the north." a line from the western paternoster island to the east point of sepandjang and thence through this island to the west point of gedeh bay on the south coast of kangean ().
"on the west." a line from the west point of gedeh bay, kangean island, to tg sedano, the northeast extreme of java and down the east coast to tg bantenan, the southeast extreme of the island.
"on the south." a line from tanjong banenan through the southern points of balt and noesa islands to tanjong bt gendang, the southwest extreme of lombok, and its south coast to tanjong ringgit the southeast extreme, thence a line to tanjong mangkoen () the southwest extreme of soembawa.
"on the east." the west and north coasts of soembawa as far east as tanjong sarokaja (), thence the western limit of flores sea [a line from tg sarokaja to the western paternoster island ()].
the circulation and mass water properties in bali sea are a continuation from flores sea to the java sea in the north. in oceanographic, bali sea is concerned with the indonesian throughflow coming from pacific ocean to the indian ocean, the flow of which are mostly passing through bali strait and lombok strait.
in a recorded tsunami history, bali sea observed several tsunamis. the 1815 tambora eruption (scale 7 of volcanic explosivity index) formed tsunamis on 22 september 1815 at coordinate and three years later (8 september 1818) from subsequent volcanic activities at coordinate . two more tsunamis were recorded in 1857 and 1917 with maximum height of and respectively.

hx 112 was a north atlantic convoy of the hx series which ran during the battle of the atlantic in the second world war. it was notable in that it saw the loss of u-boats commanded by two of the kriegsmarine's (km) foremost u-boat aces, with "korvettenkapitän" otto kretschmer (pow) and with "kapitänleutnant" joachim schepke (kia).
hx 112 was an east-bound convoy of ships which sailed from halifax on 1 march 1941, making for liverpool with war materials. many of the ships in hx 112 were tankers carrying fuel oil to britain.
it was escorted by 5th escort group which consisted of two destroyers, and and two corvettes, and was led by commander donald macintyre of hms "walker". 5th escort group was reinforced on this occasion by an additional two destroyers, in view of the importance of the cargo, and met the convoy as it entered the western approaches.
on 15 march 1941 hx 112 was sighted by commanded by fritz-julius lemp, who sent in a sighting report and commenced shadowing the convoy. he was joined throughout the day by four other boats; "u-99" (kretschmer) "u-100" (schepke) (clausen) and (kentrat).
on the night of 15th/16th the attack started; "u-100" was able to torpedo a tanker, which burst into flames, but survived to reach port; all other attacks that night were frustrated by the activities of the escorts.
keeping up with the convoy on the surface during the day, the pack tried again as night fell on the 16th.
"u-99" managed to penetrate the convoy from the north, on its port side, and sank four tankers and a freighter in under an hour. remaining with the central column of the convoy she sank another freighter 15 minutes later before making her getaway.
meanwhile, the escorts, searching for u-boats outside the convoy perimeter, found "u-100" around 1.30am moving in on the surface. she dived, but "walker" attacked with a depth charge pattern at close range. "u-100" evaded further damage, and surfaced, to be sighted and rammed by "vanoc" just after 3am; schepke was killed when "vanoc" smashed into his periscope structure and "u100" went down with most of her crew.
as this was happening, "u-99" was making her escape; she nearly collided with a destroyer in the dark and dived. picked up on asdic by "walker", she was depth-charged and severely damaged. saving "u-99" from being crushed as she sank deeper and deeper, kretschmer brought her to the surface, where she was fired on by the encircling warships. "u-99" was sunk, but kretschmer and most of his crew were saved, to be taken prisoner.
there were no further attacks on hx.112 and the convoy arrived in liverpool on 20 march.
a total of 41 merchant vessels joined the convoy, either in halifax or later in the voyage.
a series of armed military ships escorted the convoy at various times during its journey.
hx.112 had lost six ships totalling 50,000 tons. however, the loss of two of the kriegsmarine's u-boat aces, one of which was the highest scoring submarine commander of the second world war, was a severe blow to the kriegsmarine offensive. the defence of hx.112, coupled with the successful defence of convoy ob 293 and the loss of u-boat ace günther prien along with his sub the previous week, marked a minor turning point in the atlantic campaign.
the return of count yorga (originally titled yorga returns) is a 1971 american vampire horror film directed by bob kelljan and starring robert quarry. it is the sequel to the 1970 film "count yorga, vampire".
the story features quarry returning as the infamous vampire count yorga, along with his servant brudah, both of whom have been revived by the supernatural santa ana winds. actor roger perry, who had a lead role in the first film, appears again but as a different character.
cynthia nelson (mariette hartley), a teacher at the local orphanage, talks with a pastor while watching the sun set before getting ready for a fundraising costume party. cynthia mentions the "santa ana winds" which the pastor states are an evil omen. one of the orphans, tommy (philip frame), wanders into the nearby cemetery where he faintly hears a voice ordering "rise, rise; it is time." tommy initially dismisses it, but as he stops to rest, vampire women rise from their graves. seeing this, tommy tries to escape the cemetery only to run into the clutches of count yorga (robert quarry), who is waiting for them.
sometime later, yorga goes to the orphanage during their costume party and fund raiser. biting one of the pretty guests, mitzi (jesse welles), outside the event room before going inside and introducing himself to those present, among which is cynthia whom he becomes infatuated with. when a weakened mitzi stumbles into the room, he leaves as the others are attending to her. that night, he returns to his manor and a makeshift throne room overlooking several coffins, greeted by brudda (edward walsh), yorga's hulking facially disfigured valet, and the female vampires from earlier ready to do his bidding. yorga sends the undead women to cynthia's house, using mind-control to get cynthia's family (along with tommy, who was sleeping over) into the living room before his brides break in and attack them. the family is quickly overrun with cynthia's mother, father and sister, ellen (karen ericson), fed upon by the undead horde. tommy is untouched, showcasing he is under yorga's power while cynthia herself is subdued, but unharmed and carried by the brides to yorga's residence where she awakens. due to yorga's hypnotic suggestions, she has no memory of the attack. yorga tells cynthia that there was a car accident and she was left in his care by her family. he tries to charm the young woman into willingly becoming his bride, though he is warned by his live-in witch that cynthia will bring his end if he does not kill her or turn her into a vampire soon.
the next morning, jennifer (yvonne wilder), the nelsons' mute maid, finds the massacre scene and calls the police. however, as she does, brudda drags the corpses of cynthia's mother and father to a quicksand pit on yorga's property, disposing of the physical evidence. by the time the police arrive though, all of the evidence has been mysteriously cleared away, and tommy claims that nothing has happened. despite the confusion, david baldwin (roger perry), cynthia's fiancé, is suspicious about the nelsons' disappearance. meanwhile, memories of the attack on her family slowly start to resurface in cynthia's mind as she stays within yorga's manor. jennifer, suspicious about tommy's involvement with the nelson's disappearance and his visits to yorga's mansion, loses her patience and slaps tommy who stares at her in a vengeful manner. meanwhile, yorga goes to claim mitzi, killing her boyfriend near their boat house before feeding on her once more, this time finishing draining her completely and adding her to his vampiric harem.
hours later, ellen's fiancé jason (david lampson) is lured to yorga's mansion by tommy, on the claim that he found ellen. once at the mansion, tommy disappears, while jason is reunited with ellen who has clearly been made into a vampire by yorga. as she mocks him for "not loving her anymore" and soon starts laughing cruelly at him when he sense something wrong, her fellow brides attack jason from behind. jason breaks free, only to run into count yorga, who chases jason down a hall and strangles him. bruddah tosses jason's body into the throne/coffin room for the brides, including ellen and newly vampiric mitzi, to feed upon.
that evening, reverend thomas (tom toner) phones jennifer, but it is revealed she lies dead on her bed with a large knife sticking out of her chest. from her window, tommy can be seen walking away from the house. after thomas learns (off camera) of jennifer's death, david is sure he is correct about the count's true nature and manages to convince reverend thomas and investigating police detectives lt. madden (rudy de luca) and sgt. o'connor (craig t. nelson) to join him in a rescue-mission at yorga's mansion. reverend thomas is sent to distract yorga while baldwin, madden and o'connor sneak in to search the manor, armed with sticks they can cross and hold up to ward off the vampires. meanwhile, the pastor falls for yorga's charms and reveals the others' suspicions that he is a vampire, alerting yorga of danger. thomas is tricked into walking into the quicksand pit and promptly sinks to his death. yorga returns to the manor, awakens his brides and unleashes them through the household as he psychically calls cynthia to him.
baldwin splits from the detectives to expand the room-by-room search, and upon opening one door discovers jason's corpse, covered in bloody bite marks with an iv draining remaining blood from his neck into a glass-bottle on the floor beneath him. later, baldwin finally finds the half-mind-controlled cynthia and attempts to escape; however, he is nearly beaten by brudda. falling into a suit of armor, baldwin grabs a metal mace and knocks brudda out with a violent blow to the face.
meanwhile, madden and o'connor come across yorga's vampire brides. when the women don't respond to their question and continue tho silently advance on them. the detectives attempt to shoot them point blank, but their bullets prove ineffective as the undead women continue to give chase. in the midst of their escape, they encounter brudda and managed to shoot him to death. eventually o'connor is separated in the brides' throne/coffin room by a shutter and immediately attacked from behind and bitten by the witch (also a vampire) as madden helplessly listens to o'connor's death-screams. madden tries to find a way to him, but lured in by a voice from the shadows (thinking it is baldwin) and killed by tommy who stabs him in the same way he murdered jennifer.
baldwin and cynthia are the only ones left alive, with yorga supernaturally mocking baldwin throughout the estate. yorga seals their exit routes while his brides slowly close in on the two. they duck into a darken hallway, but when baldwin turns on the lights, he finds himself confronted by all the brides (including ellen and mitzi) with yorga behind them who calls cynthia over to his side. yorga takes her away preparing to transform her into a new bride, while leaving his army of brides to finish off baldwin. he is about to take her when he hears baldwin scream his name who seemingly have escaped the brides. yorga takes cynthia and flees to upper balcony of the estate as baldwin (who grabs an iron battle-axe from a wall) chases the two. yorga and baldwin fight with baldwin surprisingly seeming stronger than before, however yorga gains the advantage. just as he is about to kill baldwin via choking, cynthia's memories of the brides killing her family resurfaces, causing her to realize yorga was responsible for their deaths. she strikes yorga in the chest with baldwin's battle-axe. with yorga stunned by the action, baldwin uses the moment to throw yorga off the balcony, and he lies motionless on the pavement below, dead.
cynthia hugs baldwin, believing the ordeal over. however, she notices something wrong and pulls away. to her horror, she sees that baldwin skin has turned pale and bite marks on his face revealing he was has transformed into a vampire) having apparently not escaped from the brides unscathed). cynthia tries to run from him, but baldwin pulls her back and promptly bites her.
the last shot of the movie is tommy playing with his ball in front of the orphanage accompanied by a haunting rendition of the song the children sang at the beginning of the film. though yorga is dead, his evil lives on as those who know of him are either dead or turned into vampires and will carry out his curse. the film ends with the ominous implication that cynthia has joined them, baldwin now their new leader and the surviving vampires are resting within the manor, where they will proceed to spread the vampirisim to the unwitting orphanage and soon to the rest of the town.
in one scene, yorga is seen watching a spanish-language version of "the vampire lovers" on his television.
a third "yorga" film, which would have featured a broken count yorga living in los angeles's sewers and creating an army of undead street people, never materialised.
though count yorga is referred to as "the deathmaster" in publicity for this film, a later film called "the deathmaster", also starring robert quarry as a vampire, has no relation to the count yorga series.
the film was released theatrically in the us by american international pictures in 1971.
the film was released on vhs home video (full screen format) in 1993 by orion home video, which once held home video distribution rights to many titles in the american international pictures catalog.
the film was given a second vhs release by mgm home entertainment in september 2000. it later was released on dvd by mgm in 2005 as part of its midnite movies series. the disc was a double-feature release, pairing the film with "count yorga, vampire".
when cbs ran the movie in the 1970s on its "friday night late movie", the on-screen title was "yorga returns".
howard thompson of "the new york times" panned the film as "a dull, amateurish vampire brew." "variety" called it "a solid follow-up" to the original and "a handsome-looking film which rings the bell on both the shocker and satirical level." gene siskel of the "chicago tribune" gave the film three-and-a-half stars out of four, calling it "extremely frightening" and adding, "persons familiar with the original will find the sequel better photographed, better acted and containing more mayhem a minute." kevin thomas of the "los angeles times" wrote, "those who saw 'count yorga' will be disappointed. those who only see 'the return' will wonder what all the fuss was about in regard to the original. in the first film comedy gave way to terror; in this self-conscious sequel the two elements tend to cancel each other out. the result is a pretty silly show." david pirie of "the monthly film bulletin" wrote that count yorga had been resurrected "with considerably more enterprise and panache than before." he praised the acting as being "of a generally high standard" and the castle set as "skilfully utilised to give the impression of a labyrinth of borgesian proportions," though he criticized "a totally unnecessary and feeble attempt to make the count into a sympathetic figure through such lines as, 'the most fragile emotion ever known has entered my breast.'"
the nuoli class motor gunboats () was a series of thirteen fast attack craft (gun) of the finnish navy. the ships were constructed in 1961 by oy laivateollisuus ab in turku, and modernized in 1979. the nuoli motor gunboats played a very important role in naval training and were in service to early 90s.
there are two distinctive versions, 1-10 and 11-13. the former could be distinguished by having a higher superstructure. all were equipped with three soviet-made v-12 diesel engines. there was no separate cruise engine, except from a small auxiliary engine that produced electricity. the vessels were first equipped with large screws, but later changed to smaller, albeit equally effective screws, manufactured by finnscrew.
the nuoli-class was planned to be armed with electrically controlled bofors 40/70-system, but limitations of the auxiliary engine prevented this. for a brief time, madsen 20/60 were replaced with breda 12.7 mm heavy machine-gun which came from ww ii-period fiat g50-fighters; the change back to madsen was done in 1981.
finland was forbidden to have torpedo boats after world war ii, but the nuoli class could quickly be converted into such, if need arose. in 1982 nuoli-6 was transferred and ferried to obbnäs torpedo test station to be used as test vessel for a new finnish-origin torpedo system, which failed. the trip to obbnäs was made in heavy weather - the waves were so hard that they damaged the wooden support structure of the bow. nuoli-6 was driven aground in obbnäs 1983 (summer/autumn) and was stricken.
as service vessel these boats gave one a true feeling of being a sailor. constructed of wood, they leaked "a bit" an so the atmosphere was rather moist. living quarters were limited - even those of the commanding officer. there was no privacy at all - on nuoli one was true member of the crew.
the vessels are today spread all over finland, and one is in germany (nuoli 12). nuoli 8 is preserved at the turku marine museum "forum marinum".
the 1991 football league cup final was a football match played on 21 april 1991 between manchester united and sheffield wednesday. it was the first of two years that the competition was sponsored by rumbelows.
despite the previous season's fa cup winners, manchester united, being favourites to lift the trophy, second division side sheffield wednesday won the match 1–0, the winning goal scored by john sheridan, giving the owls their first league cup title in a season when they also won promotion back to the top flight. the match is regarded as one of the most memorable league cup finals of all time.
the trophy was presented to wednesday skipper nigel pearson by rumbelows employee of the year tracy bateman. pearson was also named man of the match.
the football league cup is a cup competition open to clubs in the premier league and the football league. it is played on a knockout basis, with the exception of the semi-finals, which are contested over a two-legged tie. as clubs in the top two divisions of the football league, both teams entered the competition in the second round.
manchester united's second-round tie saw them drawn against fourth division halifax town; they won the first leg at the shay 3–1, with goals from clayton blackmore, brian mcclair and neil webb, before viv anderson and steve bruce gave them a 2–1 win at old trafford and a 5–2 aggregate victory. anderson, who was by now rarely used in the united first team, went on to be sold to sheffield wednesday three months later, his appearance for united in the early stages of the competition making him ineligible for wednesday's matches and denying him the chance to add to the two league cup medals he had won with nottingham forest and a later medal in the competition won with arsenal.
they were then drawn against rivals and reigning first division champions liverpool in the third round, where mark hughes and lee sharpe joined bruce on the score sheet in a 3–1 home win. in the fourth round, a 19-year-old sharpe scored a hat-trick in addition to goals from blackmore, hughes and danny wallace to give united a 6–2 away win over arsenal, who would go on to win the first division title that season, just over a month after the two teams had been involved in a mass brawl during a 1–0 arsenal win at old trafford that saw both teams deducted points.
in the fifth round, united were held to a 1–1 draw away to southampton, hughes scoring their only goal; hughes was again the only united player on the score sheet in the replay a week later, scoring a hat-trick in a 3–2 win that put them into the semi-finals. southampton striker alan shearer, who within months was reported to be transfer target for manchester united, scoring all of southampton's goals during the two cup clashes with united.
goals from mcclair and sharpe gave united a 2–1 win in the first leg of the semi-final at home to leeds united, and sharpe scored again in the second leg – his sixth league cup goal of the season – as united won 1–0, and 3–1 on aggregate, to put them into their second league cup final.
sheffield wednesday, whose last major honour had been the fa cup in 1935, were fresh from relegation to the second division when they were drawn against third division brentford in the second round, winning 2–1 in each of the two legs to put them into the third round. there they met fellow second division side swindon town, who held them to a goalless draw at hillsborough, before succumbing to a 1–0 defeat at the county ground in the replay a week later. wednesday required another replay in the fourth round, after they played out another draw at home to derby county, but beat them 2–1 at the baseball ground two weeks later.
the quarter-final saw wednesday drawn away to coventry city, where a 1-0 victory for wednesday ended any hopes that coventry's new player-manager terry butcher might have had of beginning his managerial career with silverware. their semi-final opponents were drawn against chelsea. the first leg of the semi-final was played at stamford bridge, where goals from peter shirtliff and david hirst gave them a 2–0 win, before nigel pearson, danny wilson and paul williams gave them a 3–1 win in the second leg at hillsborough to put them into the final, 5–1 on aggregate. it was wednesday's first wembley cup final in 25 years.
the broadcast of this league cup final caused controversy in yorkshire, where instead of showing the post-match celebrations (as london weekend television did), yorkshire television decided to cut the broadcast short to show a programme titled "war of the monster trucks". people from sheffield often cite this event as a demonstration of the station's bias towards west yorkshire, leeds and above all leeds united. the incident inspired the name of the sheffield wednesday fanzine "war of the monster trucks".
