Come a Little Closer (Cage the Elephant song)
|
"Come a Little Closer" is a song by American rock band Cage the Elephant. Written by lead singer Matthew Shultz and produced by Jay Joyce, it was released as the lead single from the band's third studio album Melophobia on August 13, 2013. It topped the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in the United States, giving the band their fourth number-one hit on the chart.
Background
Cage the Elephant lead singer Matthew Shultz wrote "Come a Little Closer", taking inspiration from an occasion in which he woke up in a São Paulo hotel in the early morning and opened his window to watch the sunrise over the favelas. Finding the makeshift housing comparable to an anthill, he soon found himself wondering what each soul inside each borough felt, whether it be heartache, love, loss or joy.
Music video
The music video for "Come a Little Closer" was directed by Matthew Schultz and released on November 12, 2013. A mix of animation and live-action footage, it depicts the members of Cage the Elephant being transported to an alien planet and trying to escape from several monstrous beings, and in Schultz's case, having to navigate out of the stomach of a giant whale and evade being devoured by a group of birds. Schultz then rides a flaming lion and makes his way to a different planet made of skulls, traveling into its core and managing to escape death by destroying it. Scenes of the band performing the song is interspersed throughout.

Ulus Square
|
Ulus Square () is a square in Ankara, Turkey. "Ulus" is the Turkish word for "Nation".
Geography
The square is actually a crossroad of four streets at about . The boulevard to south is Atatürk Boulevard and the street to the north which is the continuation of Atatürk Boulevard is Çankırı Street. The street to the south west is Cumhuriyet Street and the street to the east is Anafartalar Street. (Atatürk is the founder of modern Turkey, Çankırı is the name of a city to the north of Ankara, Cumhuriyet means Republic and Anfartalar was the location of a critical battle during the Gallipoli Campaign.) The only open area of the square is an area allocated to the Statue of Victory to the east of the square.
History
Before the formation of Republic of Turkey, Ankara was a typical Anatolian town. The only important trade center of Ankara was Taşhan (i.e., "Stone inn") which was built in 1880s. The neighborhood around Taşhan was also called Taşhan. After Ankara was included in the railroad network in 1892, Taşhan became one of the most important quarters of Ankara and after the Young Turk Revolution the Committee of Union and Progress built its Ankara branch office building to the west of Taşhan. During the Turkish War of Independence this building was used as the parliament of Turkish nationalists. After the war a square was built to the east of the parliament building . The earlier name of the square was Hakimiyet'i Milliye ("National sovereignty") but eventually the name Ulus came into use. A statue was erected in the center of the square. The statue which was called Statue of Victory was designed by Austrian sculptor Heinrich Krippel was completed on 24 November 1927. In 1960s however the square was redesigned and the boulevard was shifted slightly to west, so that now the statue is to the east of the boulevard. After the passing of the surname law in 1934, the famous Taşhan family got their last name due to the "Stone Inn" that was located in the center of the square.
Transportation
All public buses from center to north pass through Ulus Square. Although there is also a subway station named Ulus actually it is about south of the square.

Agustius (bishop)

Agustius also known as Eusepius, was a sixth-century Catholic Bishop of Oloron in France.
Although the sixth century was a formative time for the French state, the historical records of the time are sparse and little is known about his origins, career or his episcopal work. However, according to the La Grande Encyclopédie, he held the see between 551 and 573 AD. He assumed the see following Gratus of Oloron at a time when the Catholic Church in Southern France was facing significant persecution from the Visigoth kings.

Paprika Tap de Cortí
|
Paprika Tap de Cortí is the result of grinding the Tap de Cortí variety of red pepper (Capsicum annuum), which is cultivated and processed only in Majorca and is responsible for giving colour, aroma and taste to the typical dishes and cold meats of Majorca.
These peppers are the fruit of an herbaceous annual plant of the family Solanaceae. It is short — — , triangular and pointed at the end (similar to a bottle cap with a fresh weight of between 17 – 20 grams, a dry yield (whole pepper) about 18 – 20% and sweet. The collection is done in steps, three harvests, and is unique because the fruits grow erect, looking skyward.
Origins
Paprika arrived in Majorca in the late sixteenth century from America and it quickly became a popular condiment. Already in the nineteenth century Archduke Ludwig Salvador of Austria (known as the King of the Balearen) pointed out that its main use was intended as a condiment, after being sun-dried. He also stresses that the quality of the local pepper was much higher than the pepper from outside.
The pepper Tap de Cortí is cultivated in most villages of Majorca: Felanitx, Sa Pobla, Manacor, Sant Joan, Santa Maria, Sant Jordi, Muro, Llucmajor and Campos among others. Later, between August and October, the façade of the houses in these villages were completely covered with strings of pepper, sun-dried to keep their antioxidants or preservative power, this gave a decorative touch to the Majorca landscape. Nails can be found even today in some of the façades. Nevertheless, these images are not as common as 30 years ago.
From the 70's the Tap de Cortí production started to decrease due to the loss of competitiveness caused by the entry of the paprika from Murcia at a price unreachable by the Majorca farmer.
Resurgence
In order to preserve the local products, in 2008 a traditional Majorcan company started a recovery campaign of paprika Tap de Cortí, seeding approximately 6,000 plants, that has led to the agricultural and gastronomic resurgence.
In 2009 an eco-gastronomic association that believed in the potential of the product, started another recovery campaign distributing about 16,000 free seedlings to a group of ecological farmers committed to the conservation of seeds and local plant varieties. All of them were aware that a union with a diverse groups of gastronomes offered huge possibilities to bring back to the marketplace this variety of paprika on the verge of extinction.
The project included different groups of volunteers like the people from the village of Santa María, inmates from the island's prison and a NGO working with drug addicts. Among all of them strung 3,000 kilos of peppers, in a total of 950 strings that were hung in buildings as ca s'Apotecari of Santa María del Camí.
Preparation
The peppers are collected by steps, there are until three or four harvests, when the fruit is very ripe and preferable when it has to lose a high humidity grade in the plant. The optimal dried is in the sun with traditional strings of peppers (normally in form of helices or also named three ended points) that are hung in the house's façade, looking for a properly solar orientation, during fifteen days approximately, depending on various factors as the climatological. In this way the pepper natural antioxidant are not lost, like the Vitamin C, and that is the reason why the paprika become the best preservative of the sobrassada.
Then it is baked at a low temperature, below 50–60 °C, to eliminate the last degree of moisture and facilitate the grinding. The stem is removed leaving a portion of the seeds, and crushed before grinding. The ground is done using stone mills and is necessary to do it from 5 to 6 times. Finally it is sieved and packaged.
Properties
This paprika is characterized by its red colour, inimitable aroma, and a sweet taste. The ASTA index (a measure of colour) of paprika Tap de Cortí is between 130 and 140 ASTAS ground with its seeds that gives to Tap de Cortí vitamin E. This is a natural antioxidant which is good for seasoning typical dishes of the islands but also for Majorcan sobrassada. Furthermore, as Capsicum annuum also contains a high level of vitamin C.
The Tap de Cortí is hygroscopic; this means that once it is dried and even ground it can absorb some of the lost moisture from the atmosphere.
Uses
Two are the main uses of Tap de Cortí, on the one hand paprika Tap de Cortí is typical in the traditional Balearic Islands recipes as a seasoning, mainly in stews but also in Majorcan dishes like bullit, arròs brut, various soups, tombet, snails, frit Mallorquí, etc.
On the other hand, paprika Tap de Cortí is used as a preservative for the Majorcan sobrassada (is a raw, cured sausage from the Balearic Islands made with ground pork, paprika and salt and other spices), providing that characteristic red colour and deep aroma. Before Christopher Columbus brought sweet paprika from South America the sobrassada was white and with early expiration, but thanks to the antioxidant properties of paprika, it could keep up to a year if carefully cured in a fresh place. This fact made changed sobrassada from luxury product, consumable only within the first few months regarding its preparation, to a daily consumer product.
The high number of tourism in the Balearic Islands has led to open both national and internationals restaurants increasing the culinary offer in the islands, this has made paprika Tap de Cortí be used in a large quantity national dishes: Galician octopus (Pulpo a feira), Avila potatoes (patatas revolconas) or Madrid boiled (Cocido Madrileño), as well as international dishes such as the famous Hungarian goulash.
Nutrition and health
Tap de Cortí contains mostly water, carbohydrates and fiber, while low fat and protein. Its main contribution is found in the large amount of vitamin C - it contains almost double that of orange or kiwi - a large portion of vitamin A and carotenoids, which give its characteristic red colour while providing Vitamin E, folic acid, vitamin K and in a lesser extent Vitamin B. Among the minerals, the paprika Tap de Cortí supplies calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. It also has a wealth of non-nutrient compounds, such as the polyphenols, which give it strong antioxidant power, and lycopene (which is also found in tomatoes), with strong anticancer action.
In addition, Capsiate Capsicum extract is obtained from Tap de Cortí, which contains spicy substances (capsinoids), with the ability to increase the metabolism, thus increasing energy consumption and diminishing accumulation of fat in the body.
Conservation and care
To get the best yield, the paprika Tap de Cortí should be consumed within the first two years of life. During this period the aroma, taste and colour reflect the highest quality, after this time lose its properties.
If instead is used to make sobrassada, has to be noted that paprika Tap de Cortí over a year is not advisable as it doesn't have the same qualities organoleptics. Do not to forget that, in addition to taste and aroma, Tap de Cortí has an important role in the correct ripe of sobrassada from a physiochemical point of view.

The People of Forever Are Not Afraid
|
The People of Forever Are Not Afraid is a 2012 novel by the Israeli writer Shani Boianjiu.
Plot
The People of Forever Are Not Afraid tells the story of three young Israeli women - Lea, Avishag and Yael - following them from their high school years in a small northern village, through their enlistment in the Israeli Defence Force where they train marksmen, guard a border and man a checkpoint, and on to their twenties. The book describes the progress of the three women in a series of vignettes.
Reviews
In the United States, the Wall Street Journal said the book is “a dark, riveting window into the mind-state of Israel's younger generation…[and] …marks the arrival of a brilliant writer,” and cited the “candid, convincing psychological profiles of the three heroines.” LA Review of Books called it a “beautifully rendered account of the absurdities and pathos inherent to everyday life in Israel.” The Washington Post said the prose “has a flat, harsh glare that can seem benumbing at first but evokes the deadening that comes of constant war.” NPR said the novel has “appealing main characters” and “refreshing frankness” but that there is “not much war” in the book, “just small doses of bad behavior on both sides of the line, and nearly 350 pages of frank and episodic scenes about female life in the IDF, which by midway through the book begin to lose their charm.” The Washington Independent Review of Books said the book is “engaging and revealing … a fascinating look at Israeli army life” but that its “awkward structure” and first-person voices made it “hard to follow the chain of events,” so “the stories and anecdotes never quite come together in a unified whole.” The Examiner found Boianjiu's “flat” characters to be authentic and said the author forced the critic "to breathe, think, and feel the pain of her characters and her enemies,” and that the book “was validly realistic. The style suited the age of the characters and their situation.” Jewish Ideas Daily said the author's unique use of the English language, “put her solidly within the modern Jewish tradition of transnational and multilingual literature." The New York Times said that "though it’s called a novel, it’s really a bracing collection of linked stories," and that the author's “voice is distinct. It’s confident, raw, amusing — a lot like her women." The New Republic said the novel is "carefully wrought, consciously structured [and] creatively imagined."
In the United Kingdom, The Daily Telegraph said the book was “a memorably bold novel… Boianjiu has created a brave, beautiful political literature that is entirely her own.” The Sunday Times said the book was an “impressive first novel... In a humorous, restrained and beguiling deadpan,” the book delivers “a rare insight into the boredom, fear and thrills of young Israelis being minced through military service.” The Observer said that “the author successfully finds a voice to express the dehumanising horror of warfare in this fragmented plot held together with a passionate, poetic eloquence.” The Guardian said the novel's prose, initially “seems charmingly stilted, but soon … starts to grate like a bad translation,” and that it “captures well the dissonance of a transition into womanhood that must take place within the fear-soaked tedium of compulsory military service…but …the narrative feels more like a succession of vignettes.” The Economist described the novel as a “Bildungsroman” and said that in it “life in the army initiates a metamorphosis from girl to woman…Boianjiu’s depiction of…the psyches of these young women is fascinating… The prose [reads] alternately like a nightmare and a dream, but this feverish indecision is what gives it its power.” The Financial Times said “The corrosive effects of existing on [the] continual knife-edge of boredom and horror are charted in a prose style that is, by turns, sharply comic, lyrically beautiful and chillingly flat … The People of Forever is a modern anthem for doomed youth, a brilliant anatomisation of the yearning for normality in a situation that renders it impossible ... If you still need convincing, read this book.”
In Canada, the Winnipeg Free Press said the novel "is intelligent, disconcerting and powerful... Boianjiu tells it like it is, and in the telling conveys the emotional toll taken on young lives when they are raised in a nascent country where politics, cultures, faiths and histories clash, and borders are always just a stone's throw away.” The Calgary Herald wrote “the book is a remarkably frank, funny, cynical and ultimately sad portrayal of young Israelis, both in and out of military service.” The Canadian Jewish News said, “Powerful, touching stuff… Boianjiu is an exciting, youthful writer, not afraid to take on heavy themes.” Chatelaine said that “Boianjiu’s voice is light, believable and addictive, perfectly contrasting her bubbly teenage characters against the dark moments they go through... This novel is like taking a roller-coaster ride.”
In Germany, the prominent feminist Alice Schwarzer wrote in Emma, “the tone is rough, cool, funny and heartbreaking, despite or because of the unending tragedy … The book is a harrowing voice against the war." Süddeutsche Zeitung called it “a very good book … gripping, cocky and authentic”. Badische Zeitung said the book “is a strong anti-war novel, and can be compared with large genre classics such as Joseph Heller's Catch-22.”
In the Netherlands, VPRO Magazine said it was “a remarkable debut. Boianjiu conjures a harrowing image of the army – an inert and brooding image: the heat, the boredom, the humiliations, the loneliness and the fear. But at the same time the tone of voice is breezy and darkly humorous.” Boek Magazine said “Shani Boianjiu is a more than welcome, necessary new voice in literature who, with her first novel, delivered a fine, bold, painful and moving book. Remember her name.”
In Belgium Knack Focus called it “a brilliant novel in which despair, irony and sexuality power a new generation of women.”
In Hungary, Gittegylet said about the author: “A young and extremely talented first-time author holds a mirror up to the reader, and cheekily asks the question: What is good? What is wrong? Who is right? Who is wrong? …Boianjiu’s novel is both overwhelming and fun. Life in it is not a joke, not for kids, but sometimes it's hilarious, yet at the same time there is always a kid who is dying, and the weird thing is, the kid is someone you could have been. I do not like it that this is so, but so it goes…An excellent novel by a great writer.” Holdkatlan said that “Boianjiu’s very lyrical text is out of control, and the reader can almost wander through the captivating prose’s emotions as if they were music, or popular videos…The polyphonic narrative, beautifully dispatched by the different points of view at different years in the army, and even the language enable you to trace the development of the personality of the girls, their thought, and their physical process of growing up.”
In Sweden, GP said the book was “an exhausting but also very touching and informative read, not least for the language's sake. Boianjiu knows how to use it to portray both darkness and light.” Corren said “this is an important book for those who want to familiarize themselves with how it is to live, especially as a young woman in today's Israel. Teenage boredom, trials, lack of confidence, are portrayed with a strong, intense language and a voice like no other. However, the book as a novel, is not particularly coherent. Time, space and perspective shift a bit too often, and the text becomes feverish - and just as in a fever dream, it becomes difficult to know what really happens in real life.” Sveriges Radio said “even though a soldier’s life is monotonous and boredom takes up a good part of the text, it is often a fun book. Boianjiu portrays zealous army regulations in a way that is reminiscent of Joseph Heller's Catch 22."
In Portugal, Diário Digital called Boianjiu a “small genius … an inexhaustible source of energy.” Time Out Lisbon said she was an “Israeli hurricane”, and that the book's stories were “all united by … urgency, a pace that takes the reader from start to finish.” RUADEBAIXO said that "we may feel close to the protagonists, but we will never be able to understand the feelings of those girls. This story, as much or more than it is the story of young women who have been put to the test by imminent war and a world dominated by men, is also a story about time. How time heals and changes ... So much and so little changes in two years. It all depends on how we choose to spend them."
In Spain, El Imparcial said the book was "a brave, fierce and politically incorrect testimony of Israeli youth ... fictional or real stories of the past … give the book a very light and pleasant pace, with many jumps in time and space ... told with genuine suspense and almost like a movie. The author reveals an amazing ability to get into the atrocities of the war with extreme harshness ... promising writer who undoubtedly awaits many years of career ahead.” En Femenino, which picked the book as one of its ten not-be-missed books of fall 2013, said it is “a provocative story about girl soldiers of Israel … Ultimately, this is an intelligent story that shows the unknown reality of some women who are forced to choose a destiny.” Revista Kritica called the book “a novel in which there is no unnecessary idealism, glory or heroism. Boianjiu presents the situation in her country and the army in total rawness, without masking the reality and beauty. A very faithful portrait.”
In Brazil, Revista Brasileiros said "between the lines, Shani draws up a treaty of a whole generation’s aspirations and the troubled, unpromising future that lies ahead. Her girls figure out that to get out alive they must mature, and fast. When they see each other, they talk about their crushes, make fun of the rules, and try to escape from the boring routine, always under the pressure of their superiors. And just like that, a dark world, little by little, closes in on them ... It’s an impressive story, showing the damages caused by war without resorting to ideological arguments or demonizing the enemy." Correio Braziliense said "with a bittersweet tone … [it is] a narrative stitched with wit and humor." Brazilian Rolling Stone said "the story ... is told so bravely and with such talent by the author - that it reveals the characters, who sound like typical teenagers full of regrets, to be true heroes of an epic journey."
In the Czech Republic, iFORUM said it was "an intimate, must-read account of women in the army; a matrix of conflict, danger, hierarchy, politics, sexism and unapologetic reality, dramatically contrasted with relatable, approachable themes of womanhood. Illuminated with the cutting, witty personality and deeply personal experiences of Boianjiu." IHNED said that "at nearly three hundred and fifty pages of prose scrambles war drama with a girl novel ... It has a sharp style, a surprising distinctive view of the situation, which is usually difficult or even tragic." Literarni Koutek said that "although the book deals with the serious issue of war and death in the army ... it is not a depressing, but a very interesting reading ... a breathtaking novel that becomes great.”
In Italy, Lundici said it was "an unusual book, a valuable testimony... The language is simple, fresh and dismissive of young people, often paradoxical and streaked with nonsense, in which the narrative voices alternate, today and yesterday take turns ... Sometimes [the girls] are afraid, but at the same time, they are courageous in facing the dangers and know how to laugh at their own weaknesses." TGCOM said, "forget Amos Oz, Grossman and Yehoshua. Shani Boianjiu remembers more than Yizhar, the writer who 60 years ago described the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian villages of the soldiers of Israel. Boianjiu give voice to girls scared and arrogant ... able to surprise you with moments of their delusions and paranoia, and also with moments of their independence." SoloLibri said the book was "a repeated punch in the stomach...There is no lack of irony in the novel's moments. Joy and love always remain in the mouth, but so does the bitterness of knowing that the meeting with those teenagers was not just a feeling but the truth.”
In Serbia, Domino said it was an "exquisite and moving drama about the life of women in Israel ... Although the novel's subject matter is serious and difficult, it was written with a lot of irony and humor."
In Poland, Uwazam Rze wrote that the book has "moving themes of friendship, sex, violence, family, nationalism, war and trauma. Boianjiu has a unique voice ... For the Polish reader there may be a lesson: let us rejoice that we live in a country without compulsory military service. And let us be grateful to those who serve voluntarily."
In Iceland, Spássían wrote that the book is “a collection of events, a holistic, flowing narrative. The story has a beginning and an end, and the narrative seems to be more or less in chronological order. Shani, however, chooses rather to focus on individual events and describe them in great detail, rather than trying to describe life in the military in general terms … focusing on the human side of the conflict by allowing us to get to know the characters on both sides of the line ... but in the end, the reader is left with a bad taste in the mouth about the reality of young people living in the area.”
In France, Elle wrote that "Shani Boianjiu delivers a remarkable novel... Delirious dreamlike delusions, little tricks between colonies, kibbutz and check-point, broken friends, remorse, excesses, exactions, hobbies under the watchtowers and full of sand, there is all this in this generational and desperate, spasmodic and tragic novel"
In Israel, Haaretz wrote that the book "may be dark and grim, but does not in any way lack humor. Shani Boianjiu is a very funny writer, and she places her characters in some drolly amusing situations ... What gives Boianjiu’s work an extra jolt is that every so often, without warning, she crosses the line delimiting reality to present a surreal, often grotesque vision. We know that it can’t be real, but we aren’t sure just when the line was crossed. Suddenly, though, there’s a feeling of the oxygen having been sucked from the room." Ynet said that "[Boianjiu] wrote a moving novel, in English, for Americans who don't know the details and horrors of the reality of life here, and she did that with a clear and uncompromising voice that forces the Israeli reader to look at that reality, that oftentimes he might want to deny and repress, at least through a literary work. There's nowhere to escape to in this book, because the comic moments get broken to pieces and collected back together by the hand of an artist. One can only be saddened by the content, admire the achievement and enjoy the realistic-absurdity of it."
Awards and recognition
Boianjiu was the first Israeli author to be longlisted for the UK's Women's Prize for Fiction, and the youngest nominee that year (2013). Her debut novel was selected as one of the ten best fiction titles of 2012 by The Wall Street Journal, as one of the Pakistani Herald's best books of 2012, and as one of the Swedish Sydsvenskan's best books of 2013.
Boianjiu is the youngest recipient ever of the National Book Foundation's 5 Under 35 award, based on a recommendation from the writer Nicole Krauss. She was a semi-finalist for the VCU Cabell First Novelist Award, and selected as one of The Algemeiner's Jewish 100.
The book was shortlisted for the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature in 2013. She is currently shortlisted for the 2014 Jewish Quarterly Wingate Prize.

AH Scorpii (abbreviated to AH Sco) is a red supergiant variable star located in the constellation Scorpius. It is one of the largest stars known by radius and is also one of the most luminous red supergiant stars in the Milky Way.
Distance
The distance of AH Scorpii is considered to be uncertain. VLBI measurements of the masers have provided an accurate distance of based on observation of SiO, H2O, and OH masers in its oxygen-rich circumstellar material. The masers were observed to be approaching the star at 13 km/s, indicating overall contraction at around phase 0.55 of the visual variations.
Characteristics
AH Scorpii is a dust-enshrouded red supergiant and is classified as a semiregular variable star with a main period of 714 days. The total visual magnitude range is 6.5 - 9.6. No long secondary periods have been detected. Modelling of AH Scorpii near maximum light has determined an effective temperature of and a luminosity of .

Convoy SC 100
|
Convoy SC 100 was a North Atlantic convoy, one of the SC series which ran during the battle of the Atlantic in World War II. It was the 100th of the numbered series of slow convoys of merchant ships from Sydney, Cape Breton Island to Liverpool. It came under attack, one of several convoy battles that occurred during the autumn and winter of 1942, losing five ships.
Background
SC 100, comprised twenty six merchant ships and deoarted Halifax for the UK under local escort on 12 September 1942. The Convoy Commodore was Capt. NH Gale in Athelsultan.
SC 100 was met by its Ocean Escort, Group A-3, led by US Coast Guard cutter , under Cdr. P Heineman. Also in the group was the cutter and four RCN corvettes. A-3 was joined by the corvette , escorting ships from Wabana, and by three corvettes travelling in convoy for refit in the UK.
During the action SC 100 was joined by several units as re-inforcement, including the newly formed convoy support group, 20EG, led by Comm. FJ Walker.
SC 100 was attacked by units of two U-boat patrol lines, Lohs, of 18 boats, and Pfiel, of 11 Uboats, under the guidance of U-boat Commander (BdU) Adm K Dönitz.
Action
The convoy departed Halifax on 12 September 1942 and was joined on 16 September by Mid-Ocean Escort Force Group A-3. Ahead of the convoy were three U-boat patrol lines; Vorwarts, of 18 boats, off the east of North America; Lohs, of 19 boats, south of Greenland, and Pfeil, 11 boats, moving west from bases in Occupied France.
SC 100 passed through the Vorwarts patrol line without being detected, and these boats took no further part in the action, but on 18 September the convoy was found and reported by , of Lohs. U-599 commenced shadowing, while other U-boats of the group joined; first , which had sunk the USCG weather ship Muskeget the previous week, then and . These boats began their attack, but U-259 collided with a merchant ship and was forced to break off. Both boats were vigorously attacked by escort ships, but suffered no damage. Two more Lohs boats, and joined; the latter attacked and sank the freighter Empire Hartebeeste, but a claim by U-373 to have torpedoed a corvette was not substantiated.
At this point a massive storm blew up (described by U-boat reports as "a hurricane"), making further attempts impossible. Faced with this BdU called off the operation, but several boats remained in contact and on the third day , of Pfeil made contact and torpedoed Athelsultan, the commodores ship. U-617 also sank the stragglers Tennessee and Roumanie, which had become separated in the storm.
Meanwhile, SC 100 had been re-inforced by ships from nearby convoys, and from 20 EG, bringing the total number of warships to 15.
On 24 September two more U-boats made contact; sank the freighter Penmar, but a claim by of two freighters sunk was mistaken.
The next day, as the weather cleared, aircraft of RAF Coastal Command were able to give saturation cover, forcing all U-boats still in contact to break off contact. With this BdU dropped plans to re-engage with SC 100 and moved the U-boats present to other tasks.
With no further attacks SC 100 arrived safely at Liverpool on 28 September.
Assessment
Despite the number of U-boats called to this action few were able to make contact, due to the storm. Those that did were driven off by the escorts; of the five ships sunk by enemy action only two were in convoy at the time. It has been suggested that
the ships of Group A-3 were not fast enough to catch surfaced U-boats; but Donitz attributed the failure of the attack on the aggressive handling of the escorts as well as the appalling weather.
The U-boats sank five scattered ships before losing contact on 25 September; another was lost in a collision. Twenty ships arrived safely.
SC 100 was one of three North Atlantic convoys attacked during September; in the same period the Allies sailed nineteen convoys comprising some 580 ships. Total losses were 19 ships and two escorts, (some 3% of ships involved); the cost to the U-Boat Arm was five boats lost, and another four damaged sufficiently to be returned to base.

Phoenice (Roman province)
|
Phoenice ( ; ) was a province of the Roman Empire, encompassing the historical region of Phoenicia. It was officially created in 194 AD and after , Phoenice Syria was divided into Phoenice proper or Phoenice Paralia, and Phoenice Libanensis, a division that persisted until the region was conquered by the Muslim Arabs in the 630s.
Administrative history
Phoenicia came under Roman rule in 64 BC, when Pompey created the province of Syria. With the exception of a brief period in 36–30 BC, when Mark Antony gave the region to Ptolemaic Egypt, Phoenicia remained part of the province of Syria thereafter. Emperor Hadrian (reigned 117–138) is said to have considered a division of the overly large Syrian province in 123–124 AD, but it was not until shortly after c. 194 AD that Septimius Severus (r. 193–211) actually undertook this, dividing the province into Syria Coele in the north and Syria Phoenice in the south. Tyre became the capital of the new province, but Elagabalus (r. 218–222) raised his native Emesa to co-capital, and the two cities rivalled each other as the head of the province until its division in the 4th century.
The province was much larger than the area traditionally called Phoenicia: for example, cities like Emesa and Palmyra and the base of the Legio III Gallica in Raphanaea were now subject to governor in Tyre. Veterans of this military unit were settled in Tyre, which also received the rank of colonia.
After the death of the 2nd century Roman emperor Commodus, a civil war erupted, in which Berytus, and Sidon supported Pescennius Niger. While the city of Tyre supported Septimius Severus, which led Niger to send Mauri javelin men and archers to sack the city. However, Niger lost the civil war, and Septimius Severus decided to show his gratitude for Tyre's support by making it the capital of Phoenice.
Diocletian (r. 284–305) separated the district of Batanaea and gave it to Arabia, while sometime before 328, when it is mentioned in the Laterculus Veronensis, Constantine the Great (r. 306–337) created the new province of Augusta Libanensis out of the eastern half of the old province, encompassing the territory east of Mount Lebanon.
Phoenice I and Phoenice Libanensis
Constantine's province was short-lived, but formed the basis of the re-division of Phoenice c. 394 into the Phoenice I or Phoenice Paralia (, "coastal Phoenice"), and Phoenice II or Phoenice Libanensis (Φοινίκη Λιβανησία), with Tyre and Emesa as their respective capitals. In the Notitia Dignitatum, written shortly after the division, Phoenice I is governed by a consularis, while Libanensis is governed by a praeses, with both provinces under the Diocese of the East. This division remained intact until the Muslim conquest of the Levant in the 630s. Under the Caliphate, most of the two Phoenices came under the province of Damascus, with parts in the south and north going to the provinces of Jordan and Emesa respectively.
Ecclesiastical administration
The ecclesiastical administration paralleled the political, but with some differences. The bishop of Tyre emerged as the pre-eminent prelate of Phoenice by the mid-3rd century. When the province was divided c. 394, Damascus, rather than Emesa, became the metropolis of Phoenice II. Both provinces belonged to the Patriarchate of Antioch, with Damascus initially outranking Tyre, whose position was also briefly challenged by the see of Berytus c. 450; after 480/1, however, the Metropolitan of Tyre established himself as the first in precedence (protothronos) of all the Metropolitans subject to Antioch.
Military
Since the time of Septimius Severus, it had been the practice to assign not more than two legions to each frontier province, and, although in some provinces one legion was sometimes deemed sufficient, the upper limit was not exceeded. This policy appears to have been continued during the third century AD, as seen in the case of Aurelian raising the garrisons of Phoenice to the normal strength of two legions.
Governors
Propraetorial Imperial Legates of Phoenicia
Consulares of Phoenicia
In the fourth century, as a whole, almost 30 governors of Phoenicia are known with 23 governors of Phoenicia being in office between 353 and 394.

Second round, Sarawak were drawn with Selangor FA and force to play an away game at MBPJ stadium, midweek 4.15 pm afternoon fixture. Sarawak were in front with stunning header from Zamri Morshidi in 33 minutes from a long throw from Ronny Harun. Sarawak were forced to play with 10 men after goalkeeper Sani Anuar Kamsani were sent off by referee after a reckless tackle. Despite attacking from the Selangor camp, Sarawak shown a solid defensive game throughout the game and through to Quarter finals.
Quarter finals, at Stadium Selayang Sarawak were drawn with Felda United. Sarawak first leg away game ended goalless with neither sides put the ball into the net. In Stadium Negeri, Sarawak were held drawn 2-2 and Felda were through to semis with away goals advantage.

Golden ghost crab
|
Ocypode convexa, commonly known as the golden ghost crab, or alternatively the western ghost crab or yellow ghost crab, is a species of ghost crabs endemic to the coast of Western Australia, from Broome to Perth. They are relatively large ghost crabs, with a carapace growing up to long and wide. They are easily recognisable by their golden yellow colouration. Like other ghost crabs they have box-like bodies with unequally sized claws. They also have large eyestalks with the cornea occupying most of the bottom part.
Golden ghost crabs are common inhabitants of open sandy beaches, living in burrows in the intertidal and supratidal zones. They are predominantly nocturnal and semi-terrestrial. They are a generalist species, feeding on carrion and debris, as well as preying on small animals. Along with the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), they are significant as one of the main predators of eggs and hatchlings of Western Australian sea turtles, particularly the Endangered loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) which has one of the largest rookeries in the region.
Classification
Ocypode convexa is classified under the genus Ocypode in the ghost crab subfamily Ocypodinae of the family Ocypodidae. It was first described by the French naturalists Jean René Constant Quoy and Joseph Paul Gaimard in 1824 as Ocypode convexus. The type specimens were recovered from Dirk Hartog Island, Shark Bay, Western Australia, during the circumnavigational voyage of the French corvettes Uranie and Physicienne (1817–1820) under the command of Louis de Freycinet.
Etymology
While the specific name is derived from Latin convexus ("vaulted" or "domed"). The latter is a direct translation of Quoy and Gaimard's "French name" of the species, Ocypode bombé, referring to the dome-like shape of the carapace.
They are commonly known as the "golden ghost crab". They are also sometimes referred to as the "western ghost crab", or the "yellow ghost crab".
Taxonomic history
The species was more widely known in scientific literature by its junior synonym Ocypode pygoides in the early 20th century due to the uncertainty regarding the original descriptions and illustrations by Quoy and Gaimard.
In 1837, the French zoologist Henri Milne-Edwards used Quoy and Gaimard's French "translation" of the name, Ocypode bombé (writing it as Ocypode bombée), instead of the Latin name, Ocypode convexus. However, he also declared that the species "hadn't been described or illustrated in enough detail for it to be recognised in some way". The British zoologist Edward J. Miers also regarded it as a possible synonym of either Ocypode kuhlii or Ocypode cordimanus in 1882, again due to the vagueness of the original descriptions. In 1894, the Prussian-American zoologist Arnold Edward Ortmann described Ocypode pygoides without consulting Quoy and Gaimard's original work. Although he did posit the possibility that Ocypode pygoides and Ocypode convexa might actually be the same species later on in 1897.
In 1957, due to the discovery of a name conflict with an unrelated crab species also originally described as Ocypode convexus by the Dutch zoologist Wilhem de Haan in 1833, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) suppressed Quoy and Gaimard's Ocypode convexus. This ruling was made on the basis that the consulted specialists regarded Quoy and Gaimard's Ocypode convexus as nomen dubium.
It wasn't until 1965 when the Australian carcinologists Ray W. George and Mary E. Knott finally clarified the confusion surrounding the name by demonstrating that Ocypode pygoides and Ocypode convexa were identical and formally synonymised the former with the latter. The name Ocypode convexa is now regarded as the valid name and the species has been referred to as such in subsequent publications.
Ocypode stimsponii, a different species found in East Asia, was also initially described by the American zoologist William Stimpson as Ocypode convexa in 1858. Like de Haan, Stimpson was unaware that the name had already been used previously by Quoy and Gaimard. Ortmann realised that Stimpson's name for the species was a junior homonym in 1897 and renamed the species Ocypode stimpsonii. Ocypode nobilii, another species from Southeast Asia, was also mistakenly identified as Ocypode convexa on its discovery in 1899 by the Italian carcinologist Giuseppe Nobili. In 1902, the Dutch biologist Johannes Govertus de Man recognised that it was actually a new species and named it Ocypode nobilii in honour of Nobili.
Description
Golden ghost crabs are relatively large and robust ghost crabs with strong legs and claws. Their carapace is deep and box-like in shape, and can grow to a length of up to and a width of . They are easily identifiable by their colouration. As their common name implies, the overall colour of golden ghost crabs is usually creamy white to a rich golden yellow with faint brown markings.
Like other ghost crabs, the eyestalks of golden ghost crabs are large and swollen, with the cornea occupying the lower surface. Their tips do not extend into a spike (style) making them easy to distinguish from the similarly-sized horned ghost crab (Ocypode ceratophthalma) which also occurs in Western Australia. The upper margins of the eye orbits curve around the bases of the eyestalks, then gently curve again towards the sides of the carapace. The outer edges of the upper margins of the eye orbits are triangular in shape and distinctly pointing forward. The lower margins of the eye orbits have deep notches on the center and on the sides.
The carapace is wider than it is long, being broadest at the width between the outer edges of the eye orbits. The upper surface is covered densely with small bumps (tubercles) that gradually become sparser towards the anterolateral regions. The carapace bulges outward on the outer thirds and is separated from the central regions by shallow furrows.
As in other members of the family Ocypodidae, one of the claw appendages (chelipeds) of golden ghost crabs is much larger than the other. This occurs in both males and females, though the difference is much more pronounced in males.
The palm (propodus) of both larger and smaller chelipeds are covered coarsely with large irregularly-arranged tubercles on the outer surface, giving them a rough appearance. The larger claw is longer than it is wide, with its upper and lower edges possessing rows of spine-like tubercles, arranged irregularly on the upper margin and regularly on the lower margin. The inner surface of the palm of the larger claw in both sexes features stridulating (sound-producing) ridges, which is important for identifying different species within the subfamily Ocypodinae. In golden ghost crabs, the stridulating ridge is composed of a row of 19 to 24 tubercles. The smaller cheliped tapers towards a pointed end.
The propodi of the first and second pair of walking legs possess bristles (setae) on the upper surfaces and the upper margins, while the propodi of the third and fourth pair of walking legs are naked. The first gonopod (appendages modified into sexual organs) of the male is three-sided in cross-section at the base, narrowing towards a sideways-curving tip. A bulging palp is present at the sides near the tip. The rim of the genital opening in females is horn-shaped and located in front of the genital covering (operculum). The operculum is rounded in shape.
Ecology and behaviour
Like other ghost crabs, golden ghost crabs are predominantly nocturnal, though they may sometimes emerge during the day. They are semi-terrestrial and breathe oxygen from the air through moistened gills. They must periodically wet their gills with seawater, usually by taking water from moist sand or by running into the surf and letting the waves wash over them. However, in 1962, the Australian zoologist William Ride reported golden ghost crabs foraging inland as far as away from the sea following heavy rains. This indicates that they are able to tolerate freshwater, and can still breathe by taking in moisture through wet vegetation. Golden ghost crabs must return to the sea to release their eggs. They hatch into marine planktonic larvae.
Golden ghost crabs live in deep burrows in the intertidal and supratidal zones of open sandy beaches. Some burrows may be found as much as away from the high water mark and in the dune zone, but they are densest in the intertidal zone (71%). The burrows are vertically constructed, with the bottom commonly situated south of the entrance. It is believed that this is to prevent sunlight from shining into the burrow during the day.
They are swift runners, darting away to their burrows at the slightest sign of danger. In the presence of potential threats (like humans), golden ghost crabs have been observed to only raise one eyestalk at a time, keeping the other one protected within its eye orbit. This may be to avoid having both eyes damaged in case of an attack.
Golden ghost crabs are a generalist species. They scavenge carrion and debris like dead fish or seaweed washed up by the waves; as well as prey on small animals like molluscs, other crustaceans, and sea turtle hatchlings.
Effects on sea turtle conservation
The Western Australian coast is the site of a significant number of rookeries of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta), green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas), and hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata), all of which are classified Endangered to Critically Endangered. The nesting sites are particularly numerous for loggerhead sea turtles, whose rookeries from Shark Bay to Gnaraloo Bay, Ningaloo Reef, and the Cape Range National Park are some of the largest in the world. Along with the introduced red fox (Vulpes vulpes), golden ghost crabs are significant as one of the main predators of sea turtle eggs and hatchlings in these regions.
In the Gnaraloo Bay Rookery, where red fox populations have largely been kept in check, sea turtle eggs and hatchlings are mostly preyed upon by golden ghost crabs and, to a lesser extent, horned ghost crabs. Aside from directly preying on emerging hatchlings heading towards the water, there are also indications that golden ghost crabs actively burrow into nesting sites and feed on turtle eggs.
In a 2010 assessment by the Gnaraloo Turtle Conservation Program, golden ghost crabs were found to be responsible for the most number of sea turtle egg and hatchling predation. Golden ghost crabs disturbed 38% and 46.7% of the egg chambers in the total number of nests within the study area during day and night studies respectively. They were also recorded to be responsible for the predation of 12% of the total number of hatchlings that emerged. In comparison, red foxes were responsible for only 6.51% (day) and 9.5% (night) of nest disturbances, and only 0.3% of hatchling predation.
During the peak nesting season in 2010 to 2011, golden ghost crabs were also recorded to have disturbed 35% of the nests and to have actively preyed upon another 38%, for a cumulative 73% of the nests affected.
Areas with higher numbers of turtle nests also had higher numbers of ghost crabs, indicating a possible positive correlation between the two. The ghost crab population was highest during the summer seasons, and it is hypothesised that this might be because of greater food availability, as the summer tides leave a greater amount of debris on the beaches. However, gauging the true extent of the effects of golden ghost crabs on sea turtle hatchling and egg mortality still remains difficult, largely due to the fact that they usually flee at the presence of human observers and thus skew the data. Nest monitoring with night vision cameras has been proposed as a possible means of acquiring a more accurate assessment.
Some methods for protecting the nests against golden ghost crabs have been proposed for trial in Gnaraloo. These include wire or plastic screens placed over the nests and continued human presence to discourage predators.
Distribution
Golden ghost crabs are endemic to the coast of Western Australia, from Broome to Perth. They are one of five ghost crab species found in the Western Australian coast, the others being Ocypode ceratophthalma, Ocypode cordimanus, Ocypode fabricii, and Ocypode pallidula. Among these, Ocypode fabricii is also endemic to Australia (from Darwin to Shark Bay).
Golden ghost crabs can easily be distinguished from all other species by their large size, their golden yellow colouration, and the rough tuberculation on their claws. The only similarly sized species in the region is the horned ghost crab, which are also easily distinguishable as they are the only ghost crab in Australia exhibiting spikes (exophthalmy) on the tips of their eyestalks. Younger individuals may be identified through the examination of their stridulating ridges and the shape of their gonopods.
Conservation
Due to the limited range of golden ghost crabs in Western Australia, they are deemed vulnerable to large scale environmental disasters that might affect the region (like oil spills).
Like other ghost crabs, they are also strongly affected by human activity on their beach habitats, particularly by vehicles. In Western Australia, where driving off-road vehicles are common recreational activities by locals and tourists, ghost crabs are often crushed inside their burrows due to the weight of the passing vehicles. This is believed to contribute to their very low populations (up to 90% lower) in beaches near the urban areas in southern Australia.
Golden ghost crabs, however, remain abundant in places with little to no human habitation, particularly in beaches with restricted vehicular access (such as the Gnaraloo Station).

Akiba v Commonwealth
|
Akiba on behalf of the Torres Strait Regional Seas Claim Group v Commonwealth of Australia [2013] HCA 33; 250 CLR 209 (7 August 2013) is a landmark Australian judgment of the High Court. The matter related to Native title rights, their extension to other persons and their extinguishment by Statute.
Facts
A group of Torres Strait Islanders, (the Claim Group) applied to the Federal Court seeking a determination that they had native title rights and interests in a major part of the sea area of Torres Strait, including a right to fish for sale and trade. This was opposed by the Commonwealth and Queensland State Governments who argued that, based on the decision in Western Australia v Ward, that native title was a bundle of rights that were subservient to statute and that successive generations of fishing regulations over the subject waters from the 1850s, had required fishing licences and so had caused extinguishment of some of these native title rights specifically the right to fish for sale and trade.
The Claim Group argued that it was never the intention of the Government to extinguish native title. They argued that fishing licensing did not prohibit but merely regulated commercial fishing. Indeed, a number of government schemes had been enacted to assist Torres Strait Islanders in setting up fishing enterprises.
Finn J held that the Claim Group had for the most part, established their native title.
The Commonwealth appealed to a Full Court of the Federal Court. A majority, Keane CJ and Dowsett J, allowed part of the appeal, holding that the native title rights did not include the right to fish for sale or trade. Mansfield J dissented.
The Claim Group appealed to the High Court of Australia.
Judgment
In a unanimous decision handed down in two judgments the High Court found for the Claim Group. Taking a lead from cases like Yanner v Eaton, and the Commonwealth v Yarmirr the High Court held that The Commonwealth Fisheries Act 1952 and the Queensland Fisheries Act 1887, which both required licensing of fishing activates, did not extinguish the relationship of the people to the land nor extinguish the native title bundle of rights.
The first of the two judgments, by French CJ and Crennan J held a test as that asked:
if the native title right being used cannot be exercised without abrogating the statutory right, "then by necessary implication, the statute extinguishes the existing right." but also found that "that a particular use of a native title right can be restricted or prohibited by legislation without that right or interest itself being extinguished.
The second judgment handed down by Bell, Kiefel and Hayne JJ arrived at the same result as the primary Judgment, however, they posited that it was not the subjective thinking of the lawmakers (i.e. intending to extinguish native title rights) that was important but rather the issue of inconsistency between the statute and the native title rights. The test they asked was:
"whether the activity which constitutes the relevant incident of native title is consistent with competent legislation relating to that activity"
In answering this the judgment found that there was a native title right to take fish. The purpose for taking the fish was not at issue, and that shift of focus, from right to activity, led to error in this matter by the lower court. They also found that the statutes regulated but did not extinguish the Native title rights
Extension of Native title rights
A number of third parties brought a cross claim in this matter. These were people who had familial and clan relationship and hereditary trading relationships with the native title holders, and they were seeking recognition of their rights. The court rejected this cross claim noting that although these relationships under Islander law and culture were very real and strong these were "reciprocal rights as rights of a personal character dependent upon status and not rights in relation to the waters" itself.

Epstein–Barr virus stable intronic-sequence RNAs
|
Epstein–Barr virus stable intronic-sequence RNAs (ebv-sisRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs generated by repeat introns in the Epstein–Barr virus. After EBERs 1 and 2, ebv-sisRNA-1 is the third most abundant EBV RNA generated during a highly oncogenic form of virus latency (latency III). Conservation of ebv-sisRNA sequence and secondary structure between EBV and other herpesviruses suggest shared functions in latent infection.
Background
The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infects as many as 95% of adults and is the infectious agent responsible for mononucleosis ("mono"). Infection with EBV results in lifelong. Latent infections are "dormant", meaning no active virions are produced, however the virus generates proteins and RNAs to modulate host-virus interactions that maintain latent infection. In ways yet to be fully determined, these interactions make EBV-infected B cells more prone to becoming cancerous (e.g. Hodgkin's lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma). Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have a role in this process. Structured ncRNAs are of particular interest as they serve a wide array of functions, which are the focus of intensive efforts to characterize and archive in such projects as Rfam.
A recent study of ncRNAs in EBV using bioinformatics and RNA-Seq identified multiple regions within its genome likely to contain functional RNAs. These regions included EBER-1 and -2, v-snoRNA1, and most of the known viral miRNAs. In addition to these known EBV ncRNAs, this analysis identified new RNAs, including two stable intronic sequence (sis)RNAs. Introns, typically are rapidly degraded in the cell, but can persist and accumulate to high abundance when they serve a functional role. Such sisRNAs have been found in Xenopus oocytes. Stable introns are also found in other herpesviruses, for example, the HHV Latency Associated Transcript, which plays important roles in the maintenance of virus latency.
In EBV, sisRNAs are generated from a region known as the W repeats. This region is transcribed during a type of viral latency that is highly oncogenic (latency type III) and also in a rare type of latency (Wp-restricted latency) observed in ~15% of endemic Burkitt's lymphoma. Splicing of these W repeat transcripts produces a short intron and a long intron (Fig. 1), both of which accumulate to high abundance in EBV-infected human B cells. Indeed, ebv-sisRNA-1 is the third most abundantly produced EBV RNA after EBER1 and EBER2, which are highly expressed in EBV-infected cells., The presence of these RNAs in a pathogenic form of latency suggests roles in EBV-associated cancers.
ebv-sisRNA-1
The short W repeat intron, rather than being spliced and rapidly degraded, persists after splicing and is the third most abundant EBV-produced small ncRNA in latency III. Nucleotides 4 to 26 of ebv-sisRNA-1 form a short hairpin loop that presents a Uridine-rich sequence motif (a possible platform for protein interactions) into the loop. The remainder of the sequence is unlikely to form stable RNA structure. This unstructured stretch of sequence may be exposed to allow for interactions with nucleic acids or other proteins. The sisRNA sequence is ~100% conserved in EBV strains and homology extends to include other lymphocryptoviruses. The hairpin structure is also conserved and includes structure-preserving mutations in its stem.
ebv-sisRNA-2
Ebv-sisRNA-2 is generated from the long W repeat intron. Evidence of stable and conserved RNA structure covers ~40% of this RNA and one region can fold into a remarkably long (586 nt) and thermodynamically stable hairpin loop (Fig. 2). In addition to EBV strains, where the hairpin is ~100% conserved in sequence, this structure is also found in other lymphocrypoviruses. Despite high divergence of sequence between these homologous RNAs, the long hairpin structure is well conserved. This suggests that this RNA plays an important functional role in ebv-sisRNA-2. The size of ebv-sisRNA-2 (2,791 nt) more closely resembles that the HHV Latency Associated Transcript) and may perhaps play a similar role in the maintenance of virus latency.

Käty van der Mije-Nicolau
|
Käty van der Mije-Nicolau (22 July 1940 – 14 October 2013), born Alexandra Ekatarina Nicolau, was a Dutch-Romanian chess player and Woman Grandmaster. She was the Romanian national champion six times before moving to the Netherlands in 1974. In the Netherlands she was the national champion in 1974 and the years 1976 to 1979. Her best worldwide rank among women was fifth.
Early life
Nicolau was born in Bucharest as the daughter of Ștefan S. Nicolau, a Romanian virology expert. She would herself study the Chinese language. She was introduced to chess at the age of six by one of her brothers, who taught her how to play.
Chess career
Nicolau won the Romanian Women's Chess Championship six times: 1960, 1961, 1963, 1964, 1965 and 1973. For Romania, Nicolau also participated in the Chess Olympiad. At the 17th Chess Olympiad (1966) and 20th Chess Olympiad (1972), she was a member of the women's team which won the silver medal. As an individual, she won silver at the Olympiads in 1963 and 1966 at the first board, and won bronze in 1972 at the second board.
In 1974 she started playing for the Netherlands, after staying in the country following her participation in the Hoogovenstoernooi the same year. She was awarded permanent residency and later Dutch nationality when she married Kees van der Mije. Nicolau had earlier resided for several months in the Netherlands after a tournament; she lacked permission from the Romanian government to do so. In 1969 she wished to study at Leiden University; however, while completing formalities in Romania, she was not allowed to return to the Netherlands and was banned from playing international chess tournaments. Her ban was removed after pressure from FIDE president Max Euwe. However, she was forced to promise members of the Securitate secret police that she would return after playing international tournaments until 1974. The Hoogovenstournooi was the first tournament for which Nicolau did not have to promise to return, and she immediately chose to remain in the Netherlands.
She won the Dutch Women's Chess Championship in 1974 and again from 1976 to 1979. She also competed at the Olympiads for the Netherlands, first on the women's team at the 22nd Chess Olympiad (1976), winning the bronze medal. In 1980 she quit playing professional chess. Her final appearance at the Olympiad was at the 28th Chess Olympiad (1988).
At her peak, Van der Mije-Nicolau was the fifth-ranked woman player in the world, but was never able to show great results at the Women's World Chess Championship due to her nerves. After her third-place finish at the Interzonal tournament in Roosendaal in 1976, she was awarded the title of Woman Grandmaster.
Personal life
Van der Mije has said she was not fanatical enough to only spend her time on chess, as she also liked to read detective stories and visit museums. After her retirement, she was a weekly member of the Het Spaarne chess club in Haarlem, where she was club champion in 2007. She died from cardiac arrest on 14 October 2013 at the age of 73.

Inchdrewer Castle
|
Inchdrewer Castle is a 16th-century tower house in the parish of Banff, Aberdeenshire, in the north-east of Scotland. Situated on a slight rise south-west of Banff, it looks across to Banff Bay. Originally owned by the Currour family, it was purchased by the Ogilvies of Dunlugas in 1557 and became their main family seat. The Ogilvies were staunch Royalists, which resulted in the castle coming under attack from the Covenanters in 1640. George Ogilvy, 3rd Lord Banff was murdered in 1713 and his body hidden inside the castle, which was then set on fire. The castle came under siege again in 1746, during the Jacobite rising of 1745–46. At the start of the 19th century, following the death of the 8th Lord Banff, the property was inherited by the Abercromby of Birkenbog family, who leased it to a tenant. It became uninhabited after 1836 and the structure deteriorated.
Over the following century the neglect continued until some basic external renovation work was undertaken between 1965 and 1971, making the structure wind and water tight, although it remained unoccupied. The castle was again abandoned and left unmaintained. The condition of the building further declined, becoming derelict. It was in a ruinous state when marketed for sale in April 2013 after the death of Count Robin Mirrlees, who had owned it for about fifty years. At the end of that year it was purchased by the former model Olga Roh, who said she intended to restore it. Modern day reports suggest that the spirit of the 3rd Lord Banff and that of a white dog haunt the castle, which is classified as a category A listed building.
Early history
The castle's exact construction date is unknown, but it was some time in the early to mid 16th century, during the reign of either James IV or James V.
Various spellings are used: Inch Druar (or Inchdruar as one word); Inchdruer; Inchdrewir; or Inchdrewr. Originally owned by the Curror (Currour) family, in 1557 it was purchased by Walter Ogilvy of Dunlugas (1509–58), and became the main family seat. James Currour was a notary in Banff and is linked with several of Dunlugas' contracts and witnessing leases.
During the late 16th century, the Dunlugas Ogilvies undertook refurbishment and extension work, including the addition of courtyard buildings and a distinctive circular tower that incorporated the hall into its first storey. An act recording the lands in favour of George Ogilvy was ratified by King Charles I in late June 1633. George was the son of Walter Ogilvy, and an ardent Royalist and supporter of the king against the Covenanters. Inchdrewer Castle was left in ruins after being attacked by Covenanter forces led by General Robert Monro in 1640; another of the family properties, a town house, was also devastated. George Ogilvy was appointed a peer in 1642, becoming the first Lord Banff.
George Ogilvy, 3rd Lord Banff, inherited the property when his father, the 2nd Lord Banff, died on 10 September 1668. He was murdered in 1713 and the castle destroyed by fire; his body had been concealed inside. Restoration work was once more undertaken.
The castle came under attack by troops led by the Duke of Cumberland in 1746 in the course of the Jacobite rebellion. Yet more restoration work was carried out during the later part of the century.
When William Ogilvy, 8th Lord Banff, died on 4 June 1803, the estate was inherited by his sister Jean (sometimes named Jane), who had married George Abercromby (Abercrombie) of Birkenbog. Her son, Sir Robert Abercromby succeeded her. Sir Robert was appointed as a member of Parliament for the Banff constituency in 1812 but four years later claimed financial difficulties prevented him seeking re-election. In 1820 he asked George IV to allow the Banff peerage, which had become dormant or extinct when the 8th Lord Banff died, to continue by declaring his mother Baroness Banff, or granting him the title of Lord Banff, but the request was denied.
The main residence of the Abercrombys was at Forglen House, Turriff. The castle was in a sufficient state of repair to be leased to tenants until 1836. MacGibbon and Ross refer to the castle as being in the ownership of Sir R. J. Abercromby of Birkenbog when writing about it in their architectural book published in 1887. The ground-floor plan given in the book shows two parts of the building as being "ruinous".
The castle was abandoned at the beginning of the 20th century, and it soon became dilapidated.
Later history
The castle was purchased by Count Robin Mirrlees in 1962 or 1963. Renovation work was possibly undertaken in 1965 by architect Oliver Hill, although his undated drawings may not have been fully implemented. After visiting the property in 1966, Nigel Tranter, author and historian, reported that work had begun on the structure but described it as a "ruinous shell of a house". Some structural restoration work was undertaken and the castle was slightly repaired, sufficient to have made it "wind and watertight" by 1971. But it was then abandoned again, and further deterioration occurred; it had been uninhabitable since 1836, and Mirlees never lived in it. Internally, only basic work was undertaken. Local residents believed the only time the interior was used during this period was when a ceremony was held to site a plaque commemorating the completion of external work in 1971.
Historic Scotland designated Inchdrewer Castle a category A listed building in February 1972. The poor condition of the property was highlighted in a report expressing concern by the Scottish Civic Trust in 1999. Inspections by Aberdeenshire Council officials described it as "showing signs of a lack of maintenance" in February 2008, with all its windows broken. Further decline was noted in October 2010, and the castle was said to be "on the cusp of ruination". Further deterioration was noted when the castle was visited in December 2012.
Mirlees died on 23 June 2012. Together with the title of "Baron of Inchdrewer" the castle ruins were put up for sale in April 2013, and purchased in November 2013 for about £400,000 by Olga Roh, former Valentino and Versace model and owner of Rohmir. Roh had never been to Scotland and had not seen the castle before she bought it, but said she planned to restore it so it could be used for fashion shoots, as a film location, or as a residence. Other suggestions were used as a holiday destination for friends or a boutique hotel.
Architecture
Starting as a basic L-shaped tower built from tooled ashlar dressed rubble, the castle was extended in a southerly direction by the addition of a circular tower during the first alterations in the late 16th century. A staircase was inside the new tower and further structures were added to the south and north sides of the courtyard at this stage of the development. Replacement entrances were installed and the original first-floor doorway was closed off. Access on the west side was gained through a narrow round-headed entrance and a wider main doorway were incorporated in the south elevation.
Some of the architectural features incorporated throughout the castle included: corbelled battlemented wallheads on the towers; turrets set above first or second storey level; a large elongated aperture provided light on the first floor hall; and shot holes in the south-west tower. The fenestrations on the wing added in the late 18th century differed from those used in the earlier parts of the structure, being larger and more regular in appearance.
The restorations completed in 1971 made the structure wind and water tight, added extra windows and installed fresh glazing, but as it was then abandoned again, weather elements exacerbated by vandalism led to further structural deterioration. The castle was in a ruinous condition in 2013 and unfit for habitation.
Superstition and haunting
Twenty-first century newspaper stories report that the ghost of the murdered George Ogilvy, 3rd Lord Banff, haunts the castle. Nigel Tranter visited Inchdrewer again in the 1970s and a large white dog, which he speculated may have been a Samoyed, bounded out of the castle as he approached it with a local builder. Unable to explain how the dog could have been confined in the castle for seven days, he was later sent a copy of the magazine Vogue, in which it was stated that the castle was "haunted by a lady in the shape of a white dog".

The Prophet tells a fictional story of a woman named Devaduta, following her life from her adolescence through to her last days. Devaduta is born in poverty, and her childhood is marred by unending toil, and her relationship with an abusive father – a drunkard and a child abuser. At one point, Devaduta starts hearing a voice that she identifies as the ‘Voice of God’. She escapes from her home, to find employment as a cleaner at a dance academy. The guru at this academy identifies a spark in her and trains her, to see her blossom into a danseuse par excellence. With her fame and fortunes, Devaduta goes on to build an Ashram to help needy children, while being constantly guided by the ‘Voice of God’. Her social work and the fact that she hears ‘the Voice of God’ gets her the epithet of ‘The Prophet’ from the people. However one day the voice tells her she has a year to live, and this realization completely shatters the equanimity of Devaduta. The story goes on to explore the relevance of a Prophet in a world deemed to be created without hierarchies by God.
Cast
The presentation is in the form of Devaduta’s narrative of her life. The character is played by Savitha Sastry.
Production
Production of The Prophet was started in March 2013 around the time that Savitha Sastry’s previous production Yudh was being performed across India. In line with her other productions such as Soul Cages or Yudh, The Prophet too steers clear of conventional Bharatanatyam themes of a nayika (heroine) pining for love, or pieces based on Bhakti (devotion), and instead delivers an original and contemporary story not based in religion or Indian mythology. The production used several effects from theater such as special lighting, use of voiceovers and narratives in the soundtrack.
Critical reception
‘The Prophet’ received overwhelmingly positive reviews from art critics. A review in the Indian Express praised it highly with the words "the production carries an intensity that will leave the audience thinking about it for a very long time" and goes on to say "the exquisite choreography and denouement add up to something far more than an evening of entertainment – it becomes an experience." Noted art critic Soumya Vajpayee of the Hindustan Times called Savitha "An innovator – widely credited for the way the genre is presented and perceived." Critic Lakshmi Ramakrishna of the Channel 6 magazine lauded the production with the words "Savitha and Srikanth have revolutionized Bharatanatyam". Critic Anannya Chaterjee of Absolute India noted in her review that "the audience were seen glued to their seats even after the curtain call". The Times of India recommended the Prophet calling it ‘an enigmatic recital’. Critic Boski Gupta of the DNA praised Savitha’s choreography with the words "…known for her beautiful renditions of classical dances in contemporary style."

Of True Religion
|
Of True Religion, Heresy, Schism, Toleration; and what best means may be used against the Growth of Popery is the title of a polemical tract expressing Anti-Catholicism, written by John Milton which was published in London in 1673. The tract addresses Milton's own problems with the doctrines, practices, and ceremonies associated with the pope or the papal system of the Roman Catholic Church and, with what Milton called, the implicit faith of its members. The anti-Catholic ideas in Milton's writing are in direct response to the tolerant stance of King Charles II of England toward the Roman Catholic Church. Pro-Catholic sentiments had not been popular in England since the very bloody reign of the devout Roman Catholic queen Mary I of England. The obvious anti-Catholic ideas present in Milton's writing, coupled with Milton's own influence, may have inspired such social movements as the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the eventual passing of the Popery Act of 1698.
Content
Milton accuses the Roman Catholic Church of blatantly changing scripture and of blindly leading gullible members astray. He argues that the Catholic Church's reliance on popery is false religion and uses that as evidence of heresy within the institution. Milton begins his argument with the claim that "the increase of popery is at this day no small trouble and offence to the greatest part of the nation." Milton continues his argument by juxtaposing the supposed errors of the Catholic Church with his own definition of "true religion." He maintains that true religion "is the true worship and service of God, learnt and believed from the word of God only." Milton also suggests that members of the Roman Catholic Church live by a system of implicit faith. He proposes a solution to the problem, stating that two principles of true religion would "cut off many debates and contentions, schisms, and persecutions" between Christians.
Two Principles
In his tract, John Milton frequently cited Biblical passages as a way of providing substantial evidence against the Catholic Church. Milton quoted from the books of Deuteronomy (Deut. 4:2) and Revelation (Rev. 22:18,19) and argued that the two main principles of true religion were (1) the word of God only, and (2) "that faith ought not to be an implicit faith, that is to believe, though as the church believes, against or without express authority of scripture."
Historical context
Milton wrote his pamphlet in 1673, one year before his eventual death. With his greatest works behind him, Milton could focus on his current state and the condition of his country. He had undoubtedly studied the consequences of a state-run church in England and fully believed in the separation of the church from the state. Milton was a witness of the unpopularity of the tolerant attitude of King Charles II toward the Catholics. Charles II had promulgated the declaration of indulgence (which had suspended the penalties for Catholicism and nonconformity) in March 1672, but had been forced to rescind it in March 1673. "Milton's tract is tolerant of the sectarians, who ‘may have some errors, but are not heretics’, but mounts a vicious attack on Roman Catholicism, which he denounces as politically dangerous and theologically idolatrous." Although his views and opinions did not receive much attention during his lifetime, they would later prove worthy influences of future parliamentary issues like the Popery Act of 1698. His writings later became wildly popular to the future revolutionary movements in France and America.

Faden Away
|
"Faden Away" is a song by California-based funk duo 7 Days of Funk, released as the lead single of their eponymous debut studio album. The song premiered on October 8, 2013, on Stones Throw Records' SoundCloud page and was made available at the Stones Throw Store and iTunes Music Store on October 15, 2013. Stones Throw released "Faden Away" along with "Hit Da Pavement" on a cassingle on December 10, 2013, with both vocal and instrumental versions. The cassette was given away exclusively with the first week's orders of the LP and 45 box set.
"Faden Away", written by Calvin Broadus and Damon Riddick, was recorded at The Compound in Los Angeles, California in 2013. The song, mixed by Shon Lawon and Cole M.G.N., was produced by Riddick under his stage name Dâm-Funk and the vocals were performed by Broadus under his latest moniker Snoopzilla. The song also features background vocals from Shon Lawon and Val Young.
Background and concept
Snoop discovered that Dâm-Funk had an instrumental track called "Fadin" from his 2012 EP I Don't Wanna Be a Star!. Snoop wrote the vocals for the instrumental and created "Faden Away" based intimately on things he experienced in his life. "It's just real," Dâm-Funk told Life+Times. "A lot of brothers or sisters can relate to fading away from a relationship and that's what's so cool about working with him. He knew how to interpret things without me telling him. He took that one word I used as an instrumental title and created a whole concept about it. He did all the vocals. I did all music. It was 50-50."
The Southern California duo named "Faden Away" as their favorite song on the album. "I'm singing like a mothaf----r on there," Snoop told HipHopDX. "I just like the concept, too. When you get in a relationship with somebody, it could be with your wife, it could be with your girlfriend, it could be with your kids, it could be with your mom, it could be with your brothers, 'cause your relationships are relationships. And it gets to a point in time where it begins to fade away. But you try your best to hold on and keep the good things there. And a lot of times, we always looked at the ones who make the relationship go bad, but when it go bad, we the ones who try to keep the relationship together. So it's like that song represents so much of who I am and what I'm going through. Not even on a personal tip, but on a business tip. Maybe I'm fading away on a business tip, or the music side. Maybe I'm fading away careerwise. But it just feels like, 20 years from now, that record is still gonna be the shit, no matter where we at."
Music video
On November 5, 2013, the music video for "Faden Away" premiered on Stones Throw's YouTube. The vintage-looking footage was directed by Henry DeMaio, and features Snoopzilla donning a jerry curl wig while performing alongside Dâm-Funk at a smoke-filled house party in Los Angeles. At a certain point during the night, Snoop finds a girl in the audience and starts to take a liking to her. The clip ends with Snoop bringing the girl back to his room, with a "To Be Continued…" sign before its end. Henry DeMaio has written on Twitter that he directed two videos for the album. On December 10, 2013, the music video for "Hit Da Pavement" premiered on VEVO and serves as the continuation of the plot in "Faden Away".
Live performances
On October 21, 2013, 7 Days of Funk debuted their single on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, along with another song from the album, titled "Do My Thang". Backed by a full band during the performance which was highlighted by an appearance from Don "Magic" Juan, Snoopzilla and Dâm-Funk both wore matching white gloves, and Dâm played his keytar, then destroyed it in celebration. This marked Snoop's first appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! since the show's very first week of existence, and he also sat down for an interview with Kimmel. On December 9, 2013, the duo performed "Faden Away" on Conan, and The Queen Latifah Show on the following day. For Conan O'Brien, 7 Days of Funk enlisted their whole band, including hip hop producer Terrace Martin. Snoop also sat down with Conan for an interview to promote the album and some of his other endeavors. For Queen Latifah, they performed with their skeleton crew accompanied by two white-gloved poppers.
Critical reception
The song was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Richard Spadine of DJBooth complimented the song, writing that "Snoop's Autotuned come-ons and his partner's keytar-driven electro-funk grooves coalesce into an eminently catchy end product". Chase Woodruff, writing for Slant Magazine, highlighted Dâm-Funk's production, calling it a "master class in silky-smooth funktronica production". Nate Patrin of Pitchfork noted that Snoopzilla achieved to make "breakup ruminations without sounding antagonistic" and wrote that he is "not Nate Dogg or anything, but his workmanlike singing voice is smooth enough to mesh with the piled-high space-flight chords Dâm-Funk uses to buoy it."

Helen Cassaday is Professor of Behavioural Neuroscience, School of Psychology, Faculty of Science, University of Nottingham.
Education
Cassaday did her BA, MA (Hons) in Experimental Psychology, at University College, University of Oxford (1986,1990); her PhD was in Psychopharmacology, at Institute of Psychiatry, University of London (1990)
Research
Her research is focused on investigating the underlying biology of associative learning processes, fundamental to normal cognition in animals and humans.
Her research group investigates the underlying biology of associative learning processes, fundamental to normal cognition, in laboratory rats and mice. The animal learning theories can also be applied to our understanding of age-related cognitive decline, as well as to human diseases in which associative processes are disordered.
When there is a time gap between events, we are less able to make a connection between them in learning and later memory. Thus it is harder to keep track of things that could in fact be causally related, in order - for example - to know that even distant engine noise can predict a future hazard or to anticipate dinner based on the smell of raw ingredients. The ability successfully to bridge a time gap between events is known to deteriorate with age in humans and other animals. This line of work (funded by the BBSRC) aims to identify the neural substrates of trace conditioning, and to compare these with those of delay-dependent forgetting measured in other procedures.
In schizophrenia, her team finds that learning occurs inappropriately, about stimuli that would normally be treated as irrelevant, redundant or in some other way indistinct. This line of work (funded by the MRC and Wellcome Trust) has focused on the neural substrates of selective learning. Recent work compared the effects of localised treatments within nucleus accumbens on latent inhibition, based on past experience with the cue or ‘acquired salience’, and cue competition through overshadowing, based on relative intensity of the cue or ‘intrinsic salience’.
To promote translation of these findings to our understanding of human disorder, a number of her graduate students (Ellen Migo, Ebrahim Kantini, Zhimin He, Meghan Thurston, Becci Gould) have also successfully established associative learning procedures suitable for use with human participants.
In addition to projects on selective learning mechanisms and their dysfunction, she and her colleagues have shown the validity of a non-invasive objective measure of stress in laboratory mice (Ann Fitchett, BBSRC-funded studentship, welfare remit).

Cassaday has published numerous peer reviewed journal articles and contributed to many academic books.

She worked at the University of Auckland as a lecturer and whilst on the faculty helped to set up a Masters course in Health Psychology.
In 2006, Rona moved again, this time to the University of Southampton in the UK and was made Professor of Health Psychology in 2007. Here she researched, amongst other topics, the links between chronic illness and personality factors (for example the link between IBS and perfectionism).
She is currently a professor at the Institute of Psychiatry in South London, where she joined the Department of Psychology in 2011.
Research
Rona has dedicated her academic career to investigating chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and post-concussion syndrome. This work has included attempts to model and treat the disorders as well as understanding psychological factors involved in reactions to chronic illness as well as how the patient and their family adjust to the symptoms. She has spoken at public engagement events on the relationship between stress and illness. She has developed a web-based version of a CBT Package called MSInvigor8.
Publications
Rona has co-authored a book with Keith Petrie entitled Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Experience of Illness).
Rona has contributed to over 61 academic articles in a variety of peer-reviewed journals. The following are a selection of the few most recent:
Powell, D. J. H., Liossi, C., Moss-Morris, R. & Schlotz, W. (2013) Unstimulated cortisol secretory activity in everyday life and its relationship with fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome: A systematic review and subset meta-analysis Psychoneuroendocrinology
Awards
Rona won MS Research of the Year as part of the Multiple Sclerosis Society Awards 2013 for her randomised controlled trial Adjusting to MS, which compared CBT and supportive listening to help people adjust to early stages of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Teufelsberg (Haardt)
|
The Teufelsberg is a hill massif, 598 metres high, in the southern Palatinate Forest on the territory of Burrweiler in the county of Südliche Weinstraße. It has a subpeak, the Lambertskopf (539 m). The Teufelsberg offers extensive views over the Upper Rhine Plain. It is not accessible by motor vehicle but may be ascended on various hiking trails.
Sights
Summit cross
At the highest point on the Teufelsberg, a rock massif, stands a stone weather cross on pyramidal, rough stone pedestal. It was carved by local sculptor, Johannes Minges, and consecrated on 25 July 1909 by the Bishop of Speyer, Konrad von Busch. Hence it bears the colloquial name of "Bishop's Cross" (Bischofskreuz). This is also the name of a vineyard in nearby Walsheim.
St. Anne's Chapel
On the eastern slopes of the Teufelsberg, between the summit and Burrweiler at a height of 423 metres, is the Roman Catholic St. Anne's Chapel (Annakapelle), which was built in the 19th century in the Gothic Revival style and to which there are regular pilgrimages in July and August. In addition the parishes of Burrweiler and Flemlingen make their covenant procession (Gelöbnisprozession) to the chapel every year on 1 May.

Richard Ottley
|
Sir Richard Ottley (5 August 1626 – 10 August 1670) was an English Royalist politician and soldier who served as a youth in the English Civil War in Shropshire. After the Restoration he played a prominent part in the repression of Parliamentarians and Nonconformists and was MP for Shropshire in the Cavalier Parliament.
Background, early life and education
Richard Ottley was the eldest son of
Sir Francis Ottley of Pitchford, Shropshire, who was military governor of Shrewsbury for part of the English Civil War
Lucy Edwards, daughter of Thomas Edwards of the College, Shrewsbury. She was the widow of Thomas Pope, another Shrewsbury resident.
The Ottley family were part of the landed gentry of Shropshire and claimed descent from the more ancient Ottleys of Oteley, near Ellesmere, Shropshire. However, Thomas Ottley, the ancestor who bought Pitchford Hall in 1473, was a Merchant of the Staple with a house in Calais as well as in Shrewsbury. The Ottleys of Pitchford owed their status to wealth made as merchants of the thriving county town, with its monopoly in the finishing of Welsh cloth.
Richard Ottley was born on 5 August 1626 and christened on 15 September. He had a brother, Adam, who was born in 1628 and a sister, Mary, who was born in 1630. He was admitted to Shrewsbury School on 9 April 1638, the same day as his brother Adam. but his education beyond that stage was interrupted by the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642.
The Civil War and Commonwealth
Francis Ottley was quick to act to disrupt Parliamentary mobilization in Shropshire as Civil War threatened in the summer of 1642 and was instrumental in preparing the king's move from Nottingham to Shrewsbury in September, when the king knighted him. Richard Ottley, who was commissioned a captain in the royalist army, served under his father in the Shrewsbury garrison. Sir Francis held the town after the king's departure and was formally appointed as military governor in January 1643. He was removed by Prince Rupert in the summer of 1644. Sir Francis was captured by Parliamentarian forces in February 1645 on the eve of the fall of Shrewsbury, although later released.
Richard was present at the siege of Bridgnorth in 1646 and was covered by the surrender agreement negotiated by his father, which allowed the Royalist garrison to choose between peace and exile. The agreement explicitly granted permission to Lady Ottley and her children to live at Pitchford. The estates of both Sir Francis and Lady Ottley had been sequestrated by Parliament. Lady Ottley used the good offices of a friend and relative, Elinor Davenport, in contacting the sequestrators over furnishings and clothing. and employed Thomas Lee, a relative of Sir Francis and a Lincoln's Inn lawyer, to negotiate recovery of her own estates. On 16 June 1646 Richard was given a pass to travel to Shrewsbury to speak to Parliament's County Committee, probably in connection with his father's request to compound for delinquency, which was made on that date. A decision on the allowance for Lady Ottley and the children was soon made: a fifth of Sir Francis's estates was handed over to them for their maintenance by an order of 5 September 1646. However, the outstanding issues took three years to resolve.
Richard Ottley spent a considerable part of this time in London with his father, often having to attend Goldsmiths' Hall, where the Committee for Compounding with Delinquents was housed. On 12 January he wrote to his mother from Gray's Inn to report that his father had obtained permission to live at home and that his personal property had been secured while he compounded. He thanked her for a pie. Richard was admitted to Gray's Inn for legal training on 1 March 1647. In April Lady Ottley wrote to him to report that Sir Francis had not actually gone home as there was a possibility he would be prosecuted by Humphrey Mackworth, who, although reckoned a cousin, was the Parliamentarian governor of Shrewsbury. Later in the year, on 2 August, Richard's younger brother Adam was also admitted to Gray's Inn.
Adam wrote to Lady Ottley in September 1648 in anticipation of Richard's engagement to Lady Lettice Ridgeway, "soe good a sister in ye place of yt deare one w'ch I soe lately lost." The marriage probably took place in January 1649: their first child was born on October. On 24 March Sir Francis, with his last extant letter, sent Lettice a copy of Eikon Basilike, purportedly a collection of Charles I's final meditations and apologia: the same book had recently been sent by Adam Ottley to his mother. The Ottleys were clearly finding resources to sustain their royalist faith.
On 13 April 1649 Sir Francis asked for Richard to be included in his composition. A reduced fine of £1860 was announced on the very next day. In recognition that the estates were encumbered by about £4,000 of debts, a further reduction of £660 was ordered on 25 June 1649, leaving a fine of £1200 to pay. Sir Francis survived only a few months, dying on 11 September, and leaving Richard as his heir. On 9 March 1650 Richard Ottley took the oath of loyalty before two Middlesex justices of the peace to the Commonwealth, "as it is now established, without a King or House of Lords." This was necessary to gain permission to travel, as recusants and delinquents needed a pass from their county committee to travel more than five miles from home. With permission from the Parliamentary committees in Shropshire and Staffordshire, he was able to travel to the Midlands, settle his affairs and regain his estates. In July he obtained a pass to journey into Wales and to Oswestry on business, and in September he travelled to Yoxall to visit his wife's grandmother in Staffordshire. Lettice Ottley was by this time pregnant with their second child, as one of her great aunts, Cassandra Willoughby of Wollaton Hall noted shortly afterwards in a letter.
The end of the year brought prospects of Ottley's completion of his business with the Commissioners for Compounding. On 20 December he was told that he owed £296 and could discharge this in two equal instalments at fortnightly intervals. However, the sum seems to have been wrongly transcribed, for the next communication from the commissioners, dated 17 January, refers to a debt of £269. Ottley had already promptly paid £134 10s. The commissioners had reviewed his debts and told him that they required only another £35 10s. This he paid immediately and on 24 January 1651 all seizures, sequestrations and penalties on the Ottley estates were discharged.
Ottley seems thereafter to have been mainly quiescent during the rule of Oliver Cromwell. He took no part in the Penruddock uprising of 1655, although he probably alluded to it in a letter of May 1655, sent from his Inn of Court, where he stayed when in London. However, later that year he was faced by a large claim for compensation from a Mary Moloy, widow of Hugh Lewis, a London goldsmith. In a letter to Ottley, Humphrey Mackworth, the son and successor of the earlier governor, alleged that Sir Francis Ottley had confiscated from Lewis jewellery to the value of £600 during the Civil War. When she later sued him, Sir Francis had offered £300. Mackworth recommended that Ottley pay up, as Cromwell was exasperated by royalists because of the recent rising. Apparently Ottley decided to wait on events and Moloy's petition to Cromwell portrayed her as the daughter of a hero of the Nine Years' War in Ireland who had taken refuge in England during the Civil War. Now having four small children to feed, she had in turn sued Sir Francis and asked his heir for recompense. On 13 October Cromwell referred the matter to Mackworth, who was authorised to summon and question Richard Ottley. The matter seems to have been resolved the following month by Ottley paying Moloy the much smaller sum of £60.
Ottley witnessed the funeral of Cromwell in November 1658 and wrote from Gray's Inn to inform his mother, enclosing a printed description. The Protectorate fell apart during the succeeding year. On 25 November 1659, a day after General Monck took overall command of the army, Richard and Adam Ottley were given a pass by Charles Fleetwood allowing them to travel between London and Pitchford without further hindrance: the regime had ceased to wield effective authority and had given up the attempt to control its enemies.
Restoration and repression
After General Monck's intervention against the remaining Commonwealth forces, at the beginning of 1660, Richard Ottley came back into public life and began to take part in local government. He was appointed a Justice of the Peace for Shropshire in March 1660. There are no records for 1660 but he and Adam, his brother, are recorded as sitting on the bench at the January quarter sessions of 1660/61. Thereafter he does not appear in the record again until July 1662 and his attendance thereafter seems to have been sporadic.
Ottley contacted Charles II and on 5 March Charles issued a commission from Brussels, appointing Ottley, his friend Richard Scriven and others as commissioners for Shropshire. They were authorised to raise a large militia force for the king's cause, to set up a command structure and to levy contributions for its support. Shrewsbury was still held by the stalwart Parliamentarian Colonel Thomas Hunt, who carried out a review of military resources and preparedness during April and arranged a muster of his forces for 1 May. However events were moving too quickly for Hunt's measures to take effect. The Convention Parliament accepted Charles II as king on 8 May. Ottley set off for Dover to welcome Charles to England in May. Charles entered London on 29 May and Ottley wrote from there to his mother:
"My most deare and evere honored Mother,
"I prayse God we are safe come to towne, and his Matie, with his two brotheres, the duke of Yorke and duke of Glouster, are now at Whitehall. I met them at Canterbury, and had the happinesse to be of the life guard since Fryday last; wherein my content over ballanced the paynes I underwent. I most, humbly thanke yor Lap for your py which I shiall enquire after. I beg pardon that I am soe short in wrighting, being weary at p'sent: I humbly crave yor blessing: wth my duty and thanks for yor goodnesse to mine, for whom my hearty prayers to God are : I rest "Yor Laps most dutiful sonne and servant, "May 29, Ric. Ottley."Shortly after the king's return, Ottley was knighted. On 19 June Ottley and Scriven issued a document at Shrewsbury that effectively annexed the resources promised to Hunt's militia to their own force, ending the dual military authority that had existed formally to that point. On 16 July a letter was issued by command of Charles II urging the Mayor of Shrewsbury to appoint Adam Ottley as town clerk. However, then position then was not, as the king had been informed, vacant: the post had been filled during the Commonwealth by Thomas Jones, who was to prove a resourceful opponent to the new dispensation.
On 26 July Francis Lord Newport of High Ercall was commissioned Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire with wide-ranging powers. Ottley was made his Deputy Lieutenant on 3 September. The following month Newport appointed him captain of a cavalry troop in the county militia.
Repression of the old Parliamentarians began with claims that some had taken property from High Ercall and other places. Their houses were ransacked, resulting in a petition of protest from Thomas Hunt, an alderman of Shrewsbury, to the House of Commons, alleging he had lost goods to the value of £1377 18s. 9d. Edmund Waring, a former Parliamentarian governor of Shrewsbury, and Vavasor Powell, a Welsh Independent preacher and theologian, were arrested and imprisoned. Ottley released Waring after a short time, as he was not persuaded there were good grounds or valid warrant for his detention. A Fifth Monarchist rising in London on 6 January 1661 panicked the Privy Council. On 8 January Newport was ordered to disarm any disaffected people in the county and to administer to them the Oath of Supremacy.Coulton, p.137-8 On 22 January a further letter stepped up the pressure greatly with a demand that the county authorities arrest "dangerous persons."Coulton, p.17-8 Forwarding the Privy Council's letter to Ottley on 24 January, Newport rebuked him for being too lenient:"I send you enclosed a letter from the Councell, and a proclamation for the moderating of your proceedings. Though it may bee conceived a very ineffectual way for the securinge of persons to send warrants to a constable, yet if souldiers bringe the warrant to him, your ends may seeme accomplishable. You see the letter speakes of leadinge men. Therefore you did ill in releasinge Waringe, and you needed not have apprehended his ranting demand of a mittimus, which will serve him for discourse in his two pot houses. I would advise you to send for him agen, though not as a criminal by proofe, yet as a dangerous person, especially havinge the comand of the Councell for it."''
However, Newport then drew Ottley's attention to an enclosed complaint from Captain Turner, who had been detained while visiting his wife and children at Shrewsbury, though he had a valid pass to do so from the authorities at Hull to do so: Newport urged Ottley allow him to leave the town. With neither Newport nor the Council quite able to define their desired balance of clemency and repression, Ottley seems to have erred on the side of rigour. By 4 March the Council was troubled that the Shropshire authorities might be overstepping the mark. They wrote to tell Newport that the king was troubled by large numbers of petitions from those arrested on mere suspicion and that they were to be released forthwith. Many of those arrested were Quakers, who had suffered persecution even before the Restoration. Henceforth, decreed the Council, only the "Ringleaders of Faction" were to be detained.
Nevertheless, Newport had already recommended Ottley and Sir Francis Lawley as MPs for the county of Shropshire, and they were duly elected in April. However, the borough of Shrewsbury elected as its two members its town clerk, Thomas Jones, a leading Presbyterian although never an enthusiastic Parliamentarian, and Robert Leighton, who had been uncommitted in the Civil War. Attempts under the Convention Parliament (1660) to accommodate the Presbyterians within the Church of England had come to nothing. Jones was determined to entrench Presbyterianism in Shrewsbury for as long as possible. In October 1661 he had a new deed of appointment drawn up for Francis Tallents, the Presbyterian minister of St Mary's Church, which was technically a Royal Peculiar but actually in the gift of the council. Jones was supported in this by the mayor, Richard Bagot, and the headmaster of Shrewsbury School, Richard Pigot. The Corporation Act of December 1661 gave Newport and Ottley an opportunity, as it sought to remove Presbyterians from office by forcing them to abjure the Solemn League and Covenant. Newport urged Ottley to use his seat at Westminster to speak out against Jones. Ottley's intervention sent Jones back to Shrewsbury, where he tried to get all vacant places on the council immediately filled with supporters. However, the deputy lieutenants sent men to impose house arrest on the mayor and aldermen and removed them from office for refusing to take the oath. Tallents and Pigot, together with other known Presbyterians and ex-Roundhead officers were imprisoned in July 1662. Newport and a group of county gentry were appointed commissioners to review and reform the governance of the town. They appointed Adam Ottley town clerk in place of Jones on 9 August, citing Jones's long record of political manoeuvring, promoting Presbytrerianism, giving legal advice to suspects. This was followed by a thorough purge of Nonconformists from public life. There was widespread agitation against the restored monarchy early in 1663. Repressive activity in Shropshire was initially at a lower level than in neighbouring counties. However, in July 1663 Newport used the rumour of a plot to seize Chester Castle to send Ottley after supposed conspiratorial meetings of ejected ministers in Shrewsbury, with detailed instructions for spying and intimidation. In October, with rumours of plots still abounding, Newport told Ottley to confine military preparations to the close guarding of the major towns to avoid the expense of mobilising the militia outside the time of the general muster. Later he reverted to warning that the Presbyterians of Shrewsbury might be in league with conspirators in the North of England and recommending that they and Waring be subject to a fishing expedition with a view to "entrap some of them in their answers." A similar group of suspects were subjected to further detention in August 1665.
Cavalier Parliament
Ottley was elected to the Parliament of 1661–79, the longest-lasting English parliament, and did not survive to the end of it, dying in 1670. The parliament was known as the Cavalier Parliament because it was largely royalist in sympathy, although important divisions appeared long before it ended. Ottley's election was almost certainly the result of Newport's influence. Newport, later first Earl of Bradford, was to dominate elections until his death in 1708, gradually evolving into a Whig and suffering for it when he opposed the succession of James II.
After being a very active lieutenant of Newport in the county, Ottley became a very active member of Parliament, which probably accounts for his decreasing participation in local and regional affairs. He was a member of no less than 230 committees. Initially much of his work reflected his work at local level, with a focus on legislation that repressed religious dissent. He was on the committee that steered the Act of Uniformity 1662. He was also a member of the committees for the Conventicle Act 1664 and a second Corporations Act, both elaborating the Clarendon Code which bore down on both Catholics and Protestant Nonconformists. His political loyalty and zeal brought appointment as a Gentleman of the Privy chamber on 18 December 1663. After the fall of Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon in 1667, Ottley served on the committee to investigate his Sale of Dunkirk to France and another which looked into the running of the fund for loyal and indigent officers, which had been set up by the king to compensate royalist officers ruined by the Civil War. He had been one of the commissioners implementing the scheme in Shropshire. It had proved a disappointment and protests in 1666 led to a review.
Ottley's own compensation took the form of commissions to collect taxes in Shropshire, which he undertook with his close friend and business partner, Richard Scriven, later MP for Bishop's Castle First they were made receivers of the county's hearth tax, the key tax on property. In 1663 they made a successful bid of £2,800 for the farm of the county's excise. However, the hearth tax concession was revoked in 1667 and Ottley and Scriven were ordered to pay arrears of £700. They sought to collect the amounts owing but this led to public disorder, with distrained goods and papers being stolen. To help his efforts at repayment, he was given any prize-money concealed during the Commonwealth that he could discover. He and Scriven were also granted all treasure trove found since the Restoration, as well as part of a Cheshire outlaw's estate. However, they were still unsuccessful. Ottley's arrears were remitted shortly before he died in 1670, although Scriven did not settle his debt until 1682.
Marriage and family
Richard Ottley was married to Lady Lettice Ridgeway, daughter of Robert Ridgeway, 2nd Earl of Londonderry. The Ridgeway family fortune was based on the first earl's exploitation of land assigned to him as an "undertaker," or government contactor, during the Plantation of Ulster. Richard and Lady Lettice Ottley had six sons and one daughter, five of whose baptisms are recorded in the Pitchford parish register.
Francis, born 11 October 1649. Died May 1652.
Thomas (baptised 18 February 1651), Sir Richard's heir, married one Elizabeth and died in 1695.
Richard (baptised 6 July 1652), died in infancy and was buried 30 March 1654.
Adam (baptised 5 January 1655), Bishop of St David's 1713–23, died in 1723.
Robert (baptised 26 July 1655)
Lucy (baptised 28 February 1657) died in 1687
Francis (baptised 2 June 1660)
Dame Lettice Ottley was buried at Pitchford on 8 March 1669. Sir Richard Ottley died aged 44 on 10 August 1670 and was buried at Pitchford.

Myroodah
|
Myroodah or Myroodah Station is a pastoral lease that once operated as a sheep station but presently operates as a cattle station located in Western Australia.
Situated about south east of Looma and about south east of Derby in the Kimberley region, the property is currently owned by the Indigenous Land Corporation and occupies an area . It is south of the Fitzroy River and runs back to the edge of the Great Sandy Desert. It has a range of soil types from the black soil of the flood plains to the red sandhills and spinifex country. The manager since 2011 is Chris Daniell and the property runs approximately 23,000 head of Brahman cattle mostly for the live export trade from Broome.
Both the Margaret River and Fitzroy River severely flooded in 1894, so much so that the rivers that are normally about apart were united for at least two days. Heavy losses were expected at Myroodah similar to the losses at Yeeda and Mount Anderson Stations.
Two landing strips were cleared at Myroodah in 1946 for the mail plane to land on when Upper Liveringa's strip, located across the river and away, was unavailable. The first time the strip was to be used, no ground sheets, to indicate safe landing, had been put out so the plane dropped the mail and continued its run.
The property was stocked with about 28,000 sheep in 1947, of which 13,000 were lost while mustering them for shearing. The station manager, Stephen Godbhaer, claimed that the late rains caused phenomenal growth of the cork screw grass, forming a jungle through which it was impossible to drive them.
The 1951 wool clip of 185 bales had to be transported off the property by a Douglas DC-3 aircraft after the Fitzroy River had become impassable and the wool had to reach Derby urgently to be in time to be shipped to England.

Alice Lazzarini
|
Alice M. Lazzarini is a scientist, author and researcher on neurogenetic disorders, including Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease. She is an assistant professor of Neurology at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS, previously known as University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey or UMDNJ), where her work helped establish the genetic basis of Parkinson's. Later in life, she was diagnosed with Parkinson's—the very disease she had spent decades researching.
Huntington's disease
Lazzarini is a geneticist, who worked in New Jersey as a genetics counselor and coordinator at Middlesex General-University Hospital's Huntington's Disease Family Service Center, serving individuals with HD and their families. The News Tribune said in 1985 that it was "one of a handful of multi-disciplinary facilities in the country where various specialists join[ed] forces to address the problems faced by victims and their relatives ... serv[ing] more than 200 families since its opening in 1979". Lazzarini helped lobby the New Jersey assembly for a bill to establish a residential facility for HD patients.
Genetic disease research
Lazzarini was recruited in 1990 to study ataxia as part of the RWJMS new William Dow Lovett Center for Neurogenetics. In the early 90s, she was a member of the team studying neurodegenerative syndromes including olivopontocerebellar atrophy (a degeneration of neurons in the brain present in syndromes such as Machado-Joseph disease) and spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). To study the causes of SCA, the researchers first had to locate a family having a large number of members with the disease; according to UMDNJ, Lazzarini "established a pedigree that may be the largest in North America". One of Lazzarini's patients had located family records that led to a hundreds of individuals in one family encompassing eight generations and including 21 members who had the disease. Lazzarini located another physician who was following a distant cousin of the same family, yielding a combined pedigree of thousands of family members dating to the 17th century. In the 1995 "W" Family Newsletter published by the UMDNJ-RWJMS Department of Neurology, Division of Neurogenetics, Lazzarini wrote: "We have found the 'W' [Whipple] family gene! ...
While observing large family trees with many individuals having ataxia, Lazzarini noticed that many family members also had restless legs syndrome. Lazzarini is published in the fields of X-linked intellectual disability and other neurologic disorders such as restless legs syndrome, Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, and prion diseases. She has been a contributor as well to the literature on genetic counseling.
Parkinson's disease
Lazzarini was a member of The GenePD Study, a 20-site research collaboration to identify genetic factors influencing Parkinson's disease (PD). Studying familial aggregation in a large group of family members with PD, she determined that a subset of Parkinson's cases are familial. She was the head author on a paper published in 1994 pinpointing a genetic component to PD; according to the UMDNJ Science blog, "she defined the pattern of inheritance in 80 multicase families".
Years earlier, the neurology clinic at RWJMS had located a family of Italian origin that encompassed at least five generations of more than 400 individuals and at least 60 members with PD. Lazzarini began studying the family whose ancestors were traced to the small village of Contursi, Italy. In 1995, the RWJMS team joined with the National Center for Human Genome Research at the National Institutes of Health to take advantage of the laboratory resources available from the NIH in an effort to locate the gene causing PD in the Contursi family. Collecting samples from patients in Italy, Lazzarini was a member of the team that reported the first Parkinson disease-causing mutation (PARK1) in the brain protein, alpha-synuclein. Lazzarini worked with the Italian Instituto de Scienze Neurologiche to get blood samples from the family members in Italy whose relatives in the US were also being studied; she "pounded the pavement" to get samples from strangers, sometimes meeting resistance. Once she "witnessed what seemed to be a vicious argument, carried out in Italian with hand gestures aplenty"; the 80-year-old woman whose sample was needed was afraid of needles, but eventually allowed her blood to be taken.
The findings by the team, including scientists from the NIH and UMDNJ-RWJMS, were published in Science magazine. The New York Times reported that "scientists said that finding a site for the gene should help in finding other genetic factors that contribute to Parkinson's disease, which should eventually help in developing diagnostic tests and treatments". For ten years, Lazzarini and her colleagues had studied several generations of the large Italian-American family to establish the genetic basis of PD; "they believed[d] that fragments of alpha-synuclein bind to other proteins to form the Lewy body, an insoluble proteinaceous material characteristic of Parkinson's disease". In less than a year, the NIH and the UMDNJ-RWJMS team of Roger Duvoisin, William Johnson, Lawrence Golbe and Alice Lazzarini, working with the NIH and colleagues in Italy, had linked PD to DNA markers on chromosome 4. Within days of the publication of the PARK1 findings, alpha-synuclein was discovered to be the major component of Lewy bodies within brain cells of PD patients; according to the UMDNJ magazine, "This discovery changed the direction of research into PD by providing scientists with an entirely new protein whose manufacture, function or breakdown could be the key to the disease."
Personal life
Lazzarini was diagnosed with PD, the very disease she had spent a decade researching. She published a memoir chronicling her journey since being diagnosed.

Ronald Frederick Byrne (17 August 1900 – 14 December 1966) was a former Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
In August 1918 Byrne enlisted to fight for his country in World War 1, having trained for four years with the Army Cadets, however the war ended before he saw active duty.
Byrne returned to Hobart where he was an apprentice electrician and commenced his football career with his local football club, Lefroy, playing as a clever centreman and half back flanker. In 1924 Lefroy won their seventh TFL Premiership, with Ronnie Byrne a key contributor. That effort brought an approach from the Carlton Football Club, and Byrne moved to Melbourne in late 1924.
After a successful 1925 season with Carlton, he quit the club early in 1926, finishing his VFL career with 14 games. He returned to Tasmania a few years later.

David Williams (coal owner)
|
David Williams (1809–1863), known by his bardic name Alaw Goch was a prominent coal-owner in the Aberdare valley and also a keen supporter of Welsh culture and the eisteddfod.
Early life
Williams was born on 12 July 1809 at Llwyn Drain in the parish of Ystradowen, near Cowbridge, Glamorgan. When he was around twelve years old he moved to Aberdare with his parents and after working as a sawyer, his father's trade, at the ironworks at Abernant, he became involved in coal-mining and appears to have been one of a small group of miners who struck upon a rich vein of coal at Ynysgynon. In 1837 he married Ann Morgan at St John's Church, Aberdare and they had a son, Gwilym.
Williams was a self-made man, in a similar mould to another native Welsh coal owner, David Davis, Blaengwawr His first venture was at Ynysgynon in the 1840s, in partnership initially with one Lewis Lewis. This was a successful venture and he soon opened another colliery at Aberaman, generally known as 'Williams's Pit' having obtained a lease from Crawshay Bailey. His next venture was the Deep Duffryn colliery at Mountain Ash, which he eventually sold to John Nixon for £42,000. With this money he again sank another colliery at Cwmdare in 1853, and, after a further success, he again sold out. In this way he became a wealthy man, owning land at Llanwonno, Trealaw, which is named after him, and Miskin Manor.
Cultural interests
Williams became a wealthy man, but continued to interact with working class. It was said of him that 'many a man who had plied the mandril, side by side with him could claim him as a close friend to the hour of his death'. He was a generous sponsor of Welsh culture, involved in early attempts to establish a 'gorsedd', and conducting and sometimes adjudicating at local eisteddfodau. A number of these were held in the Aberdare district. He was himself an amateur poet, publishing under his pseudonym, Alaw Goch. He was a prominent sponsor of the movement to establish the national eisteddfod alternately in North and South Wales. In 1861, Williams was the leading figure in arranging a National Eisteddfod at Aberdare, an important milestone in its development as an all-Wales festival.
He was also involved with the establishment of the Gwladgarwr newspaper at Aberdare in 1858, which became for a time the most popular newspaper among the miners of south Wales more generally.
Industrial relations
Williams was regarded as a conciliator, seeking to bridge the gulf between masters and men. In due course, however, he found himself at odds with his employees, most notably during the bitter Aberdare Strike during the winter of 1857–8.
Politics
His involvement with politics, both locally and wider afield, was far more limited than a number of his contemporaries. He did, however, take the chair at the public meeting held in February 1848 at Siloa, Aberdare to protest against the evidence given by the vicar of Aberdare, John Griffith to the commissioners preparing the 1847 Education Reports. This episode proved to be a notable milestone in the political life of the valley. His comments at this meeting, however, reveal the limits to the radicalism of Alaw Goch, in that he was fiercely critical of the Chartists and considered those attempts to establish trade unions in the valley as being the work of outsiders from England. He was also actively involved in the British School movement and chaired the public meeting to mark the opening of the first such school at Aberdare, known as Ysgol y Comin in 1848.
Williams died suddenly at Bridgend on 28 February 1863. On the day of the funeral, according to one local correspondent, 'our town presented quite a sombre appearance. The shops were-closed, St. Elvan's bell tolled solemnly, and a gloomy feeling seemed to pervade the masses of people who loitered in the streets, anticipating with melancholy eagerness the arrival of the remains of the departed bard and patriot.' He was buried in the Aberdare cemetery.
