Cowes Castle
|
Cowes Castle, also known as West Cowes Castle, is a Device Fort in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Originally built by Henry VIII in 1539 to protect England against the threat of invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire, it comprised a circular bastion, flanking wings and a keep, and in 1547 it housed 17 pieces of artillery. With its companion fortification at East Cowes, the castle overlooked the entrance to the River Medina, an important anchorage. The invasion threat passed but the fortification continued in use until the middle of the 19th century, very briefly seeing action in 1642 during the English Civil War.
Decommissioned in 1854, the castle was first leased, and later bought outright, by the Royal Yacht Squadron to form their new clubhouse. The Squadron then employed the architect Anthony Salvin to rebuild large parts of it between 1856 and 1858. It became the headquarters for part of the D-Day invasion force during the Second World War, but has otherwise remained in use by the Squadron and is a distinctive landmark in yacht races along the Isle of Wight.
History
16th century
Cowes Castle was built as a consequence of international tensions between England, France and the Holy Roman Empire in the final years of the reign of King Henry VIII. Traditionally the Crown had left coastal defences to the local lords and communities, only taking a modest role in building and maintaining fortifications, and while France and the Empire remained in conflict with one another, maritime raids were common but an actual invasion of England seemed unlikely. Modest defences, based around simple blockhouses and towers, existed in the south-west and along the Sussex coast, augmented by a few more impressive works in the north of England, but in general the fortifications were very limited in scale.
In 1533, Henry broke with Pope Paul III to annul the long-standing marriage to his wife, Catherine of Aragon, and remarry. Catherine was the aunt of Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, and he took the annulment as a personal insult. This resulted in France and the Empire declaring an alliance against Henry in 1538, and the Pope encouraging the two countries to attack England. An invasion of England appeared certain. In response, Henry issued an order, called a "device", in 1539, giving instructions for the "defence of the realm in time of invasion" and the construction of forts along the English coastline.
The Solent, a stretch of water that gave access to the ports of Southampton and Portsmouth, was considered vulnerable to attack. Two castles were built on the west and east sides of the River Medina, the entrance to the principal harbour of the adjacent Isle of Wight, and were intended to attack any enemy ships that might approach. The castles took their names from the traditional term for this location, "the Cowes". Constructed in 1539, the western fortification, which became known as West Cowes Castle, had a D-shaped bastion at the front, a round, two-storey keep at the rear and two low buildings on either side, all of which mounted artillery guns. The landward side was protected by a ditch wide and a stone wall at least wide at the top. It was built from limestone ashlar stone, which may have been recycled from the demolition of nearby Beaulieu Abbey, a consequence of Henry's recent dissolution of the monasteries.
Settlements grew up around both castles on the Medina, but East Cowes Castle was rapidly abandoned and ultimately destroyed by coastal erosion; as a result, today West Cowes Castle is often simply referred to as Cowes Castle. Inspections in 1547 showed that there were 17 iron and brass artillery pieces at the fort, but that nine of these were inoperable; nonetheless it continued in use as a fortification after the original invasion scare had ended, staffed with a garrison of a captain, porter and three gunners during Queen Elizabeth's reign.
17th–19th centuries
Cowes Castle was used to house important visitors to the Isle of Wight and also as a prison; the captain of the castle had further responsibilities for managing the arrival of foreign vessels. When the English Civil War broke out in 1642 between the supporters of Charles I and Parliament, the castle was initially held for the King by its captain, Humphrey Turney. On 12 August, as tensions between the rival factions on the island increased, Turney personally fired one of the castle's guns at the nearby Parliamentary naval vessel Lion. An unidentified Scottish naval captain then came ashore on 16 August and captured Turney, before landing more men and taking the castle for Parliament, who held it for the rest of the war.
During the Interregnum, the castle continued to be used as a prison. Charles I could not be housed in the castle while en route to his imprisonment by Parliament at Carisbrooke Castle in 1647 because the facility was full, and he stayed at a local alehouse instead. The Royalist Sir William Davenant was imprisoned in Cowes during 1650, writing the poem Gondibert while incarcerated. As with East Cowes Castle, coastal erosion proved a particular problem for the fortification. An inspection in 1692 reported that the walls were cracked and at risk of collapse, and the antiquarian Francis Grose observed in 1785 that the castle was "strongly fenced with piles and planks" to prevent erosion from the sea.
During the course of the 18th century, Cowes became a fashionable location for visitors, with several bathhouses, one of them located beside the castle, and by the early 19th century the town had become a noted resort. Cowes Castle was partially rebuilt in 1716 to modernise its accommodation. Most of the front of the keep was demolished and rebuilt with new windows, a turret for a spiral staircase was erected, new three- and two-storey residential wings were added, and a garden was created over the landward defences. In 1795, the writer Richard Warner noted that the garrison consisted of the captain, a porter, two soldiers, a master gunner and five regular gunners, their wages coming to £103 a year. The castle remained in use during the Napoleonic Wars, and in 1825 was equipped with eleven guns. Warner had already complained, though, that the castle was "utterly useless" in military terms and a guidebook in 1824 echoed this judgement, describing Cowes as "useless as a place of defence" and ridiculing the sentries on duty there.
Lord Anglesey became the captain of Cowes Castle in 1826, by now a sinecure rather than a regular military appointment, and spent part of each year at the castle, making further, lavish improvements to the interiors. Anglesey was also a member of the Royal Yacht Squadron, first established in 1815, which then operated from the Gloster Hotel in Cowes. By this time yachting had become a prestigious local event; the painter J. M. W. Turner sketched the yachts sailing off the castle when he visited in 1827. When Anglesey died in 1854 the government decommissioned the castle and leased the property initially to Anglesey's son-in-law Lord Conyngham, and then to the Squadron in 1855.
The architect Anthony Salvin, an expert on adapting medieval buildings, was employed by the Squadron to remodel the building between 1856 and 1858. He enlarged the house, altered its profile and built a new tower, platform and a gatehouse, along with a service wing, a ballroom and more accommodation for the members, at a cost of around £6,000. Prince Albert and Edward, the Prince of Wales, visited the castle before it was formally reopened in 1858; the work received mixed reviews, one local newspaper likening the result to "a discipline establishment". Cowes became a major centre for yachting. After the destruction of William IV's miniature frigate the Royal Adelaide in 1877, its 21 brass cannons were donated to the castle by the Prince of Wales.
20th–21st centuries
Cowes Castle was bought outright from the Crown by the Royal Yacht Squadron in 1917. Further development work was carried out on the property in the 1920s, and a ballroom in an adjacent hotel was purchased for use as an annexe for female members.
The Isle of Wight became an important staging location for the Allied efforts to invade France during the Second World War. By October 1942, the castle was occupied by the British Admiralty and became the senior officer's headquarters of the HQ Naval Commander Force "J" Landing Craft base, known as HMS Vectis. The force's vessels docked in the nearby Solent, and took part in the D-Day landings. The castle was damaged during the German bombing raids on the island.
After the war, the architect A. G. Biggs carried out substantial additions to the castle between 1962 and 1968, including remodelling the western range to provide for more female accommodation, using stone from the second East Cowes Castle, an 18th and 19th-century stately home, which had been demolished the previous year. A prefabricated conservatory extension followed in 1988, and a new pavilion designed by Sir Thomas Croft was added in 2000.
Archaeological excavations in the winter of 2010–11 rediscovered the remains of the old castle wall and ditch, and more than 400 artefacts were removed for storage at the Isle of Wight County Museum. Cowes Castle is a distinctive landmark in yachting and powerboat events, particularly at the start and finish of local races. It is protected under UK law as a Grade II* Listed Building.

Anthony Morgan of Freshwater
|
Major Anthony Morgan (died 1729) of Freshwater, Isle of Wight was a British Army officer, and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1695 and 1729. He was a Lieutenant-Governor of the Isle of Wight.
Early life
Morgan's parentage is unknown. He married Catherine Urry, daughter and heir of Thomas Urry of Freshwater, Isle of Wight by 1691, and by the marriage, acquired the manor of Freshwater. He was an army officer in the Life Guards and was Brigadier and lieutenant by 1691. He was exempt and captain in 1692, guidon and major in 1694 and cornet and senior major in 1697.
Political career
Morgan began building up an electoral influence at Newtown and Yarmouth, and came into conflict with the new governor Lord Cutts who tried to bring the island's constituencies under government control. At the 1695 English general election Morgan was elected Member of Parliament for Yarmouth and signed the Association. He voted for fixing the price of guineas at 22 shillings in March 1695 and for the attainder of Sir John Fenwick on 25 November 1696. Under an electoral accord of 1697, he was returned unopposed at the 1698 English general election, and voted in support of a standing army on 18 January 1699. He was returned unopposed again at the two general elections of 1701 and was classed as a Whig. In 1702, he was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of the Isle of Wight, much to the annoyance of Lord Cutts, who still held a grudge against him and tried to prevent the appointment. At the 1702 English general election, Morgan was returned unopposed for Yarmouth again. He was returned again at the 1705 English general election and voted for the Court candidate as Speaker on 25 October 1705. He also supported the Court over the place clause of the regency bill in February 1706. He was returned as a Whig MP for Yarmouth at the 1708 British general election and voted for the impeachment of Dr Sacheverell in 1710. He lost his seat and his position with the change of government at the 1710 British general election and did not regain them until after the Hanoverian succession.
At the 1715 general election Morgan stood as a Whig at Yarmouth and Newport. He was returned at Newport and though initially defeated at Yarmouth was then seated after a petition on 12 April 1717. Thereupon he yielded the seat at Newport. He voted consistently for the Whig Administration. He was Lieutenant-Governor of the Isle of Wight again from 1715 until his death and was also governor of Cowes Castle from 1715 until his death in 1729. He was returned again at Yarmouth in the 1722 British general election. In the 1727 British general election he changed seats and was returned unopposed at Lymington.
Death and legacy
Morgan died on 19 April 1729. He left six sons and a daughter, but disinherited his eldest son, and left the Freshwater estate to his five younger sons. His second son Maurice was MP for Yarmouth.

Wildlife law in England and Wales
|
Wildlife law in England and Wales is the law relating to the protection of wildlife in England and Wales. Much of existing UK law dates from pre-Victorian times. Wildlife was viewed as a resource to be used; phrases such as "game" or "sporting rights" appear. Public opinion is now much more in favour of protection of birds and mammals rather than the landowners’ interests.
Scope
A "wild bird" is: ..."Any bird of a species which is ordinarily resident in or is a visitor to the European territory of any member state in a wild state but does not include poultry or, except in sections 5 and 16, any game bird." It is an offence to kill, injure, or take any wild bird, to have possession of a wild bird (alive or dead) or any part of a wild bird, to obstruct or prevent any wild bird from using its nest, to take or destroy a wild bird's egg, to have possession of a wild bird's egg or any part of an egg. It is also an offence to keep or confine a wild bird in a cage or other receptacle in which it cannot stretch its wings freely.
A "game bird" is a pheasant, ptarmigan, partridge, or grouse (or moor or heath game). Historically the bustard was also a game bird but this has been hunted to extinction in the UK.
A "specially protected wild animal" is: a badger, bat, wild cat, dolphin, dormouse, hedgehog, pine marten, otter, polecat, shrew or red squirrel.
The law defines certain other species as vermin and landowners are permitted (or, in the case of wild rabbits, are required) to cull them.
Enforcement
Police can, without warrant, on suspicion with reasonable cause of an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, stop and search; seize and detain evidence; or make an arrest.
Most wildlife crimes are crimes of strict liability. There is a general defence for well-intended welfare-related actions such as taking an injured animal for tending or treatment, or for the euthanasia of a seriously injured animal that has no chance of recovery.
Generally, proceedings must be brought within six months of the prosecutor coming into possession of evidence which, in his opinion, warrants proceedings. They may not be brought later than two years after the date of the offence. The maximum penalty for most wildlife crimes is six months' imprisonment and a fine of up to £5,000. The Court may also order the offender to pay or contribute towards the prosecution costs.
History
Game laws
The history of wildlife management begins with the Game laws, which regulated the right to kill certain kinds of fish and other wild animals (game). In Britain game laws developed out of the forest laws, which in the time of the Norman kings were very oppressive. Under William the Conqueror, it was as great a crime to kill one of the king's deer as to kill one of his subjects. A certain rank and standing, or the possession of a certain amount of property, were for a long time qualifications indispensably necessary to confer upon any one the right of pursuing and killing game.
The Game Act of 1831 protected game birds by establishing close seasons when they could not be legally taken. The act made it lawful to take game only with the provision of a game licence and provided for the appointment of gamekeepers around the country.
Emergence of wildlife conservation
The late 19th century saw the passage of the first pieces of wildlife conservation legislation and the establishment of the first nature conservation societies. The Sea Birds Preservation Act of 1869 was passed in Britain as the first nature protection law in the world after extensive lobbying from the Association for the Protection of Seabirds.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds was founded as the Plumage League in 1889 by Emily Williamson at her house in Manchester as a protest group campaigning against the use of great crested grebe and kittiwake skins and feathers in fur clothing. The group gained popularity and eventually amalgamated with the Fur and Feather League in Croydon to form the RSPB. The Society attracted growing support from the suburban middle-classes as well as support from many other influential figures, such as the ornithologist Professor Alfred Newton.
The National Trust formed in 1895 with the manifesto to "...promote the permanent preservation, for the benefit of the nation, of lands, ...to preserve (so far practicable) their natural aspect." On 1 May 1899, the Trust purchased two acres of Wicken Fen with a donation from the amateur naturalist Charles Rothschild, establishing the first nature reserve in Britain. Rothschild was a pioneer of wildlife conservation in Britain, and went on to establish many other nature reserves, such as one at Woodwalton Fen, near Huntingdon, in 1910. During his lifetime he built and managed his estate at Ashton Wold in Northamptonshire to maximise its suitability for wildlife, especially butterflies. Concerned about the loss of wildlife habitats, in 1912 he set up the Society for the Promotion of Nature Reserves, the forerunner of The Wildlife Trusts partnership.
During the society's early years, membership tended to be made up of specialist naturalists and its growth was comparatively slow. The first independent Trust was formed in Norfolk in 1926 as the Norfolk Naturalists Trust, followed in 1938 by the Pembrokeshire Bird Protection Society which after several subsequent changes of name is now the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales and it was not until the 1940s and 1950s that more Naturalists' Trusts were formed in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Cambridgeshire. These early Trusts tended to focus on purchasing land to establish nature reserves in the geographical areas they served.

John Henry Hutton
|
John Henry Hutton FRAI (27 June 1885 – 23 May 1968) was an English-born anthropologist and an administrator in the Indian Civil Service (ICS) during the period of the British Raj. The period that he spent with the ICS in Assam evoked an interest in tribal cultures of that region that was of seminal importance. His research work was recognised subsequently with his appointment to the chair of William Wyse Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge and with various honours.
Early life
John Henry Hutton was the son of a Church of England clergyman. He was born on 27 June 1885 at West Heslerton, then in the East Riding of Yorkshire and now in North Yorkshire. He attended Chigwell School in Essex and then obtained a third-class degree in modern history from Worcester College, Oxford in 1907.
Career
Hutton joined the ICS in 1909, spending most of his career in India in Assam. He held positions as a Political Officer and as a Deputy Commissioner, for which his duties included undertaking lengthy tours within the Assam region to inspect facilities and infrastructure as well as to settle legal disputes. To his role as Deputy Commissioner was added in 1920 that of Honorary Director of Ethnography for Assam. Between 1929 and 1933 he was Census Commissioner, having responsibility for organising the 1931 census of India and compiling the subsequent report on it.
Hutton's interest in anthropology was piqued around the time of his 1920 appointment. He was encouraged in his researches by Henry Balfour of the Pitt Rivers Museum, who visited Hutton in the Naga hills. Many published works on the tribal culture of the area were written by him from 1920, including the seminal The Angami Nagas and The Sema Nagas, which earned him a DSc from the University of Oxford in 1921. Later, during official discussions about the formulation of the Government of India Act 1935, Hutton worked with some success to protect the interests of tribal minorities despite opposition from Indian nationalists who suspected that it was a scheme intended to divide the country.
Hutton resigned from the ICS in 1936 for family reasons, and possibly also because he wanted to devote more time to his research. In 1937, he succeeded T. C. Hodson as William Wyse Professor of Social Anthropology at Cambridge University, where he was also elected a Fellow of St. Catharine's College. In writing Caste in India, published in 1946, he was able to draw on his experiences in charge of the 1931 census. In other works he demonstrated an interest in comparative anthropology, writing of possible links between the culture of the eastern Himalayas and other megalithic cultures in south-east Asia and in Oceania. He retired from his professorship in 1950 and was made an honorary fellow of St. Catharine's in 1951.
Death
Hutton died on 23 May 1968 at his home in New Radnor, Radnorshire. A fellow anthropologist of India, Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf, said in an obituary that the death of Hutton "... ended a chapter in the history of British anthropology. He was the last of the distinguished class of civil servants who in their time contributed so greatly to the knowledge of the indigenous peoples of Britain's far-flung empire and in a later phase of their career achieved positions of eminence in academic life."
Family
Hutton married Stella Eleanora Bishop, a widow, in 1920. The couple had two sons and a daughter. Stella died in 1944 and in 1945 he married Maureen Margaret O'Reilly.
Honours and legacy
Hutton had assisted in quelling a rebellion by the Kuki tribal people between 1917 and 1919 and was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire for that work. He was High Sheriff of Radnorshire in 1943 and President of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland (RAI) in 1944–45. He had won the Rivers Memorial Medal, awarded by the RAI, in 1929 and the silver medal of the Royal Society of Arts in 1932. He gave the Frazer Lecture in 1938.
Kathleen Gough was among his doctoral students and von Fürer-Haimendorf was among those who were inspired by him. He loaned to the Pitt Rivers Museum, and later donated, his collection of tribal materials accumulated while in Assam.

Studio Tamassociati

Studio Tamassociati is an Italian team of architects based in Venice since 1996. The practice's main architects are Raul Pantaleo (born 1962 in Milan), Massimo Lepore (born 1960 in Udine) and Simone Sfriso (born 1966 in London).
They specialise in sustainable architecture and are frequently involved in social and humanitarian projects.
Tamassociati are particularly known for their work for Emergency, an Italian non-governmental organization providing treatment for civilians in war zones worldwide. Tamassociati designed health care buildings for Emergency in Sudan, Sierra Leone, the Central African Republic and Nicaragua. Their Salam Centre for Cardiac Surgery in Khartoum, which opened in 2010, received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2013.
- TAM has won other widespread recognition and numerous prizes such as: LafargeHolcim Awards Acknowledgement prize 2017, Middle East Africa; Italian architects of the year 2014; Zumtobel Group Award 2014; Curry Stone Design Prize 2013; Capocchin-G.Ius Gold Medal 2013; Middle East Architect Awards 2010; Smart future minds award 2010; Detail Prize 2009; The Architecture Review Award for Emerging Architecture (UK) 2008.
In 2016 studio Tamassociati has curated the Italian Pavilion at XV International Architecture Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia. With the exhibition "TAKING CARE – Designing for the Common Good", the TAMassociati curatorial team has developed inside the Italian Pavilion the theme of architecture as a social art and an instrument in the service of the community, ensuring its access to the common goods. The reflection was embodied in an initial theoretical section (“Thinking”). Then a double section in the middle presented good architectural and social practices that give visible form to the idea of the Common Good (“Meeting”). Finally there was an explicit call to action in favor of communities in degraded and marginal areas (“Acting”). The catalogue and the media that recount the curatorial project used original and immediate displays and methods of communication.

Geoff Unwin

Geoff Unwin (born 8 October 1936) is an English musician and composer. He was an early user and promoter of the Mellotron, a tape-based sampling keyboard, and co-wrote the theme music for the first On the Buses film.
Biography
Unwin was born on 8 October 1936 and grew up in Norris Green, Liverpool. He studied at a branch of the London College of Music in Liverpool and started playing in variety theatre in 1947.
By 1962, he was working in The Magic Carpet Inn in Chelsea, London, where he was spotted by big band leader Eric Robinson and television personality and magician David Nixon. He started working for Robinson and Nixon through their company Mellotronics, and it was through this association that he became the featured artist on Mellotron promotional appearances, both live and on television and radio. He featured on a ten-minute promotional film made by Pathé that was regularly shown in cinemas and appeared on the children's television show Blue Peter, demonstrating the Mellotron to Valerie Singleton. Unwin claims to have visited John Lennon when Lennon was living in Weybridge, Surrey in the mid-1960s "to give him a few pointers" and toured South Africa in 1966.
Unwin left Mellotronics in 1969 and started working for EMI as an A&R man and producer, where he composed the music for the first film version of On The Buses, including co-writing the theme tune with Roger Ferris.
Unwin moved to Spain in the mid-1980s after his daughter, Naomi, decided to relocate there after getting married but returned to the UK in 1988. Naomi later found fame on the Spanish television show Un, Dos, Tres.

Tony Russell
|
Anthony "Tony" Russell (born 13 January 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He is also the most prolific forward in the history of the Hampden Football League, with a record 1020 goals.
Career
Originally from Coleraine, Russell was only a teenager when he kicked over 100 goals in a season for Hamilton in the Western Border Football League. At the time, Hamilton was tied in the VFL Country zone to .
Russell played seven VFL games in three seasons at Collingwood. He kicked four goals when he made his debut, against Essendon, in the 1982 VFL season, but his best haul came the following year, with six goals, four of them in the final quarter, against the Sydney Swans at Victoria Park.
He crossed to Victorian Football Association club Preston during 1984 and was a member of their premiership team that year. Although he was kept quiet by the Frankston defenders in the grand final, Russell had played a large role in getting them there, with 10 goals in Preston's semi final win over Geelong West.
He left Preston at the end of 1984 and was linked to Williamstown during the pre-season. He finished the 1985 season playing for Cavendish in the South West DFL. In 1986, he signed with Beaufort in the Ballarat FL, but a disagreement with the coach and board led him to request a clearance to South Warrnambool, where he would kick 792 goals, averaging over six a game. He played in three premiership teams and was the Hampden Football League leading goalkicker every season from 1986 to 1991, and then for a seventh time in 1994.
During 1992, Russell was unhappy with the way things were being run at the club, so he decided to seek a clearance to local district club South Rovers in 1993; Russell set a Warrnambool District Football League record with 165 goals in a season. That tally included a 25-goal haul against Merrivale. Lured back to South Warrnambool for the 1994 season, Russell realised the people he had issue with were still there. In 1995, he was lured to Caramut in the Mininera League because of his friendship with Jason Misfud. He kicked 171 goals for Caramut.
In 1996, Misfud was appointed captain-coach of Hampden club Koroit, recruiting Russell to play under him. After three seasons at Koroit, Russell became captain-coach at Port Fairy, where he brought up his 1,000th league goal.
He finished his career playing for the Deakin University sharks in the Warrnambool & District Football League.
Russell, who retired aged 43, is believed to have kicked in excess of 2000 goals over the course of his career and played in 15 grand finals, from which he finished on the premiership-winning team nine times.
He now works in Broome as a prison officer at Broome Regional Prison.

Peter Robert Keil
|
Peter Robert Keil (born 6 August 1942 in Züllichau, Brandenburg) is a German painter and sculptor.
Life
Peter Robert Keil was born to an artist blacksmith father whom he lost very early in his childhood during World War II. During the end phase of the war, Keil's mother, also an artistically talented woman, took her son and struggled her way to West Berlin where they settled. This is where Peter Robert Keil grew up in the working-class neighbourhood of Berlin-Wedding and where he discovered his interest in painting—particularly in expressionistic artists and in Pablo Picasso's work. From 1954 on, the East Berlin-based painter Otto Nagel became his mentor and taught him first craft skills and painting techniques. In 1954, he began his traineeship as an artist metalworker and between 1959 and 1961, he studied at the University of Arts in Berlin. When the Berlin Wall was built, he lost contact with his mentor Otto Nagel and from the early 60s on, Keil started to spend more and more time abroad.
During his studies at the University of Arts in Berlin, he came in contact with numerous other artists who later became influential artists of their generation, like for example Georg Baselitz, Eugen Schönebeck, Markus Lüpertz and Joachim Schmettau. During his time in Mallorca, he also met with Joan Miró in his studio several times. From the early 60s on, Keil established studios in Paris, London, Berlin and in the US. Today he mainly lives and works in Zimmerau (Bavaria, Germany), Berlin and Los Angeles.
Techniques and works
In the beginnings of his artistic career, Peter Keil's style was influenced by German expressionism. In the works from his early Berlin years, he mainly focused on typical big city settings and characters on the fringes of society.
However, his style changed visibly at the beginning of the 60s when he lived in Paris for a while and emerged in the city's nightlife. Keil increasingly parted with his realistic approach and developed a new, much more spontaneous and dynamic painting style which he developed further during his years in London and finally during his time as one of the "Berliner Neue Wilden" at the beginning of the 80s. Since then, the use of intensive to lurid colours and the absence of realistic representation have become characteristic of his painting style. In his paintings, the colour is applied with quick brushstrokes and occasionally with impasto techniques and the images are additionally abstracted by the use of Graffiti elements. Keil prefers to paint human figures, portraits, big city scenes, landscapes and still life images of flowers. His emotional way of painting is mainly driven by a desire for freedom from social constraints and conventions.
In the past 50 years, he has created numerous large- and small scale paintings in oil and mixed media on canvas but also some sculptures in wood and steel and a great number of majolicas.

Snow Globe (album)
|
Snow Globe is the fifteenth studio album by English synth-pop duo Erasure, released by Mute Records on 11 November 2013 in the United Kingdom and on 12 November 2013 in North America. The album has a holiday music theme, including classic Christmas carols with original tracks written by band members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell and is produced by longtime collaborator Gareth Jones.
Background
The band purposely went with a "stripped-down" and "eerie" feel to many of the tracks, including traditional Christmas ballads "Silent Night" and "White Christmas". Clarke stated, "Everything about Christmas has been written already. We thought it would be more interesting to look into the darker side of the season. For a lot of people, Christmas is not a happy time."
"Blood on the Snow" starts with a staccato style waltz, whilst "Silver Bells" features an android-like orchestra from the future and explores dark imagery of coal, ash and blood, that give way to a bright star and three gifts.
Singles
Snow Globe was preceded by the first single "Gaudete" on 28 October, a dance floor take on the on 16th century medieval Latin carol that was also a hit for Steeleye Span in 1973. The second single is the jubilant "Make it Wonderful" and the first track on the album, "Bells of Love", has been described as John Lennon-esque.
Deluxe edition
The second CD of the limited edition of Snow Globe includes an acoustic cover version of the 1980s Christmas pop hit "Stop the Cavalry" by Jona Lewie, the traditional spoken piece editorial of Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, as well as several other acoustic versions and remixes.
Commercial reception
Snow Globe appeared briefly at the lower reaches of the albums charts, peaking at number 49 in the UK and number 100 in Germany. The album reached numbers 5 and 30 on the UK and US indie albums charts, respectively.
Track listing
Snow Globe was initially released as a standard CD, a digital download, and a limited edition 3-CD box set which includes the original album as well as alternative versions. The box set, produced in a single run of 3,000 copies, contained an autographed Christmas card, red 'Erasure' branded Christmas tree ornament, a desktop calendar, postcards, 'Erasure' branded balloons (one red, one green), windows stickers, a bag of sweets, and a cocktail book. It sold out via pre-orders before the official release date.
In 2014, an extended Deluxe Nutcracker Edition digital download was made available, including the album, all additional tracks from the second disc of the box set, as well as additional remixes - comprising 29 tracks in all, as well as the videos for "Gaudete" and "Make It Wonderful".
In 2016, to follow BMG's commemoration of the band's 30th anniversary in releasing all previous albums on vinyl (both reissues, and first-ever pressings), Snow Globe was also issued for the first time on vinyl in an extended 2-LP set of which the first pressings were on white vinyl. The second disc contained a selection of previously released alternate versions and remixes.

Cervus elaphus acoronatus
|
Cervus elaphus acoronatus is an extinct subspecies of the red deer belonging to the family Cervidae. Some authors consider it a distinct species, Cervus acoronatus.
Description
Cervus elaphus acoronatus was a red deer subspecies of large size, similar to that of the existing red deer, Cervus elaphus, with large and well-developed antlers. In this archaic form, the antlers lack at their apices, even in adult individuals, the characteristic multipointed "crown" (hence the Latin name acoronatus, meaning without crown). In this subspecies, the antlers have a simple distal fork oriented transversally to the axis of the body.
It is a deer of Eastern origin, reported in Central Europe in the Pleistocene. The fossil records of C. e. acoronatus start in the lower Middle Pleistocene. Later, the morphology of the antlers changed, developing the mentioned crown.

World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor
|
World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor is the fifth expansion set to the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft, following Mists of Pandaria. It was announced on November 8, 2013 at BlizzCon 2013. The expansion was released on November 13, 2014.
The expansion raised the existing level cap from 90 to 100 and introduced player-built, upgradeable garrisons. Most of the player models were updated to have more detailed textures, animations and facial expressions, thus increasing the system requirements of the game.
Gameplay
The expansion allows players to level up to 100, an increase from the cap of 90 in the previous expansion Mists of Pandaria. It initially included eight 5-man dungeons and one raid, Highmaul, that opened in early December 2014. There was also a rebalancing of raid difficulty by the addition of a new difficulty called Mythic, which became the hardest version of the raid system that requires exactly 20 players. The easiest is 25-player raid finder (or "Looking For Raid"), and flexible raiding was expanded to include normal and heroic difficulty, allowing groups to range from 10 to 30 players, with the enemies scaling dynamically depending on the raid size. Players are able to build and upgrade their own garrison, a personal area in which they can recruit non-player characters (NPC) to carry out missions to earn the player or NPC experience and items. The garrison is assembled from the individual buildings like stables or armories, increasing their size and modifying their appearance. The Blackrock Foundry raid was opened in February 2015. The 6.2 patch in June 2015 introduced the third and final raid of the expansion, Hellfire Citadel.
The development team made a number of changes to the player versus player (PvP) aspects of the game. They altered the way that PvP items behave when players fight, reducing crowd control abilities, and added a new PvP-focused island area called Ashran containing various objectives and battles for players to participate in.
The proving grounds were updated for Warlords of Draenor. In order to queue in random matchmaking for a heroic dungeon, a silver medal from the proving grounds is required for the desired role. However, if a full premade group is used instead of matchmaking, the medal requirement does not apply. Challenge modes and the pet battle system were also updated to work within the new content.
The player stats of hit, expertise, dodge, and parry were removed from new items and new tertiary stats were added to give additional movement speed, reduction in area of effect damage taken, indestructible (item does not need to be repaired) or leech (converts a portion of damage and healing into self healing).
Some item drops can randomly be upgraded. For example, quest rewards have a chance of being upgraded to rare or epic quality. Raid loot and heroic/mythic dungeon loot has chance to randomly gain tertiary stats, a bonus socket and/or an additional item level upgrade called "warforged", and baleful gear can proc "empowered" to gain additional item levels from 5 to 45, up from the 650 base item.
Plot
The expansion is set after the events of Mists of Pandaria and takes place in an alternate universe on the world of Draenor, the original homeworld of the orcs as it appeared in Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal, prior to its destruction in the ending of that game and the creation of Outland as featured in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne and World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. Legendary characters of Warcrafts past, such as Grommash Hellscream, Ner'zhul, Gul'dan, and Blackhand appear.
At the end of Mists of Pandaria, Garrosh Hellscream is overthrown as Warchief of the Horde by a combined Alliance–Horde force and taken into custody by the Pandaren so that he can stand trial for the atrocities he committed in Pandaria. However, before he can be judged, Garrosh escapes captivity with the aid of Kairozdormu (a renegade bronze dragon) and travels to the orcish homeworld of Draenor 35 years in the past, prior to the rise of the Horde. As soon as they arrive Garrosh kills Kairoz then proceeds to change history by preventing his father Grommash from drinking the blood of the demon lord Mannoroth, which led to the orc's corruption by the Burning Legion and played a major role in the events of the first three Warcraft games. This interferes with history, creating an alternate timeline where the orcish clans unite into an "Iron Horde" by using technology Garrosh brought from his time. The Iron Horde begin a war of conquest on Draenor by killing Mannoroth and building a Dark Portal that allows them to travel through time and lay siege to the Azeroth of the present era. The adventurers storm the Dark Portal and with the help of Khadgar fight back the Iron Horde Vanguard back into the alternate Draenor. The adventurers use the Iron Horde's own weaponry to destroy the Draenor side of the Dark Portal but are subsequently forced to flee in order to evade the full might of the Iron Horde. The Azeroth Vanguard flee to the docks and split into two ships; with the Alliance following the Draenei and the Horde joining the Frostwolf Clan. Afterwards, the Alliance and Horde establish bases with portals to Azeroth to bring in supplies and soldiers.
The Alliance and Horde with their Draenor allies fight back the Iron Horde and ultimately confront the escaped war criminal Garrosh Hellscream in Nagrand. Garrosh lashes back and the forces are saved by the intervention of Thrall who challenged Garrosh to mak'gora - a duel of honor that can lead to death. In the battle that follows, Garrosh initially has the upper hand and blames Thrall for his failures since Thrall picked him as Warchief, but Thrall countered that it was caused by his own choices. Thrall then kills Garrosh by using his elemental powers.
With the creator of the Iron Horde dead, the Alliance and Horde adventurers and their Draenor allies set to dismantle the Iron Horde. The adventurers storm into the Gorian Empire's capital of Highmaul to defeat the Iron Horde's allies. In the raid, the adventurers kill the Warlord of the Shattered Hand Clan, Kargath Bladefist. They proceed to slay the creations of the Gorian Empire, including the spellbreakers and the Sorcerer King Imperator Mar'Gok.
Later the Blackrock Clan, led by Warlord Blackhand, challenge the Horde and Alliance to assault their domain; the Blackrock Foundry. The adventurers take up the challenge by storming through the forge, destroying important Iron Horde machinery, and blocking further growth of the Iron Horde's weaponry. Finally, the adventurers arrive at Blackhand's crucible and slay him.
Next, Gul'dan confronts Grommash and the remnants of the Iron Horde. He again offers Grommash the blood of Mannoroth; Grommash not only refuses but also attacks Gul'dan but he is subdued by him. With Gul'dan's offer of ultimate power, Kilrogg Deadeye, the Warlord of the Bleeding Hollow Clan, ignores Grommash's warnings and drinks the demon blood. The fel blood corrupts Kilrogg, turning him into a monstrous fel orc. Gul'dan assumes control of the Iron Horde and Grommash is imprisoned. It is at this time that the adventurers, with the help of Khadgar, construct a naval fleet to invade Tanaan Jungle and take the fight to Hellfire Citadel to stop Gul'dan and his Iron Horde.
Throughout all this, Khadgar works alongside his bodyguard, the Night Elven Warden Cordana Felsong, to grant the Commander a powerful boon by helping them create a magical ring that will give them the edge they need to face Gul'Dan. Catching wind of their plan, Gul'Dan reveals that he has brainwashed the alternate version of Garona Halforcen and sends her to assassinate Khadgar and the Commander, but Garona is defeated and the spell over her is broken, allowing Khadgar and the Commander to not only gain her as a valuable ally, but also allow them to finish the ring. However, when the ring is finally completed, it is revealed that Cordana's doubts and frustrations with Khadgar's leadership, as well as corruption from a Shadow Orb she had recovered earlier, has allowed Gul'Dan to corrupt and brainwash her just as he did Garona, and the fallen Warden attempts to steal the ring on Gul'Dan's orders. The Commander defeats Cordana, but she escapes.
In the Hellfire Citadel raid, the adventurers slay Kilrogg and remnants of the Iron Horde. When confronted, Gul'dan resurrects Mannoroth only for the adventurers to kill him and free Grommash, who actually joins them. Gul'dan then summons Archimonde to invade Draneor and, with Yrel and Grommash's help, the adventurers kill him too. At the end of the battle, Archimonde in his final moment flings Gul'dan through a portal to Azeroth of the main timeline in order to fulfill his pact with the Legion, setting the stage for the next expansion.
Development
For this expansion the development team changed the file format used by the game, moving from the MPQ file format used previously to a new file format called CASC. The game also contains updated character models with improved textures and a higher polygon count for all races released prior to Cataclysm; the developers have said they want to "keep the soul of the original characters" while upgrading them to the quality of the Pandaren race released in the previous expansion, and the Worgen and Goblin races released in Cataclysm. Game performance has been taken into account with this expansion, with the developers saying that there will be no big drop in performance as a result of the models and that there will be no reduction in the amount of visuals on screen during large fights.
Warlords of Draenor was playable at PAX East and entered alpha testing in April 2014. Blizzard invited players to enter the beta in June 2014. Players who purchased the game received a free level 90 boost for one character. Subsequent boosts may be purchased for $60 each. Blizzard said they made the price high because they did not want to devalue the experience of leveling a character.
With this expansion, Blizzard once again expressed a desire to begin creating expansions at a more frequent rate, as often as once per year.
Launch issues
During the launch, players attempting to log in experienced long queue times and issues with latency. Blizzard noted that they had experienced DDoS attacks during the launch day as well as unexpected issues from the high concentrations of players in various locations. Players received five days of subscription time as compensation for the issues.
Reception
Warlords of Draenor was met with generally favorable reviews at its release, shown by its rating of 87 on Metacritic.
Sales
Warlords of Draenor sold over 3.3 million copies within the first 24 hours, and subscription numbers increased from 7.4 million to over 10.5 million in November 2014. However, by the end of the first quarter of 2015, the number of subscribers had fallen to 7.1 million; 300,000 subscribers fewer than before the release of Warlords of Draenor. By the end of the second quarter, the number of subscribers dropped to 5.6 million, the lowest number of subscribers seen in the game since 2005. By the third quarter, subscribers held at 5.5 million. In November 2015, Blizzard said it will no longer report on the number of World of Warcraft subscribers.

Cedars Park, Cheshunt
|
Cedars Park is a historic public park located in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, England. It was originally the site of Theobalds Palace, King James I's favourite residence. The park has received a Green Flag Award every year since 2009, rewarding it for promoting high standards of management for green spaces.
History
Cedars Park is the site of a 16th-century Royal Palace known as Theobalds, which existed as a smaller estate in the 14th century, and possibly earlier. The property was originally known as Cullynges, then Tongs, then Thebaudes, which adapted over time into the current name, Theobalds.
Sir William Cecil acquired Theobalds in 1563, and Queen Elizabeth I visited in 1564. Although Cecil had initially purchased the property for use as a quiet family home, he heavily expanded it in preparation for the Queen's next visit - she visited several times before William Cecil's death in 1598. Robert Cecil inherited the Palace and accommodated King James I and his associates on several occasions - James I also brought his brother-in-law Christian IV of Denmark on at least two occasions. Munten Jennings was Cecil's gardener at the estate. In May 1607, Cecil and James I exchanged Theobalds and Hatfield House - officially, Theobalds was put in Queen Anne's name. Munten Jennings further extended the estate - this included building a 2500-acre deer hunting park with a 10-mile-long brick surround, and a silkworm house. As a Royal Palace, it was the venue of state occasions, from a masque by Ben Jonson to the raising of the Royal Standard by Charles I at the start of the Civil War. James I died here in 1625. Charles I rarely used Theobalds Palace and granted the estate to various nobles as an acknowledgement of their services until it was sold to the Prescott family in the late 1700s, when it underwent great changes.
During the Civil War, Major-General William Packer ordered the demolition of several buildings at Theobalds, so that the material from their lead roofs may be sold to fund the War. Between 1765 and 1770, George Prescott built four houses at Theobalds, possibly making use of materials from buildings that had been demolished. The houses were named Old Palace House, The Cedars, Jackson House, and Grove House - collectively Theobalds Square. Jackson House was turned into a school in the 19th century, and demolished in the early 1900s, along with Grove House. Old Palace House was destroyed in a fire in the late 1960s. What remains of The Cedars is a three-story brick building, which is currently used as a tea room and private home. The remains of some walls and foundations can be found throughout the park today.
In 1820, Theobalds was rented to Sir Henry Meux, who stayed at The Cedars. Admiral of the Fleet Sir Hedworth Meux inherited The Cedars from Valerie, Lady Meux on condition that he change his surname from Lambton to Meux. The grounds were donated to the public in 1919 and on 2 July 1921, Hedworth Meux and the Earl of Cavan officially opened the area as a public park.
Cedars Park contains several scheduled monuments, as the site of a magnificent and influential Tudor house (now demolished) with extensive grounds, created by the leading architects, gardeners and craftsmen for Sir William Cecil, and becoming an occasional place for Elizabeth I to reside. Elements of the present park can be identified as probable parts of the original Elizabethan, Jacobean and Georgian gardens and outbuildings.
Management
Cedars Park is managed by Broxbourne Borough Council.
In 2011, the Council received a £1.89 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery Fund to protect and improve Cedars Park, and conserve & promote its heritage. As a result, several new features have been added, facilities have been upgraded, and community involvement has increased.
To celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II, the park was given protection as a Queen Elizabeth II field under Fields in Trust.
Access
There are pedestrian and vehicle entrances on Theobalds Lane (near Theobalds Grove railway station) with additional pedestrian access by Winston Churchill Way. There is a free car park on site.
Cedars Park and its Nature Centre are fully wheelchair accessible.

Haussimont Airdrome
|
Haussimont Aerodrome, was a World War I airfield in France. It was located near the commune of Haussimont, in the Marne department in north-eastern France.
Overview
The airfield was originally built for the French "Aeronautique Militaire", perhaps as a satellite to the observation school at nearby Sommesous. In early 1918, it was turned over to the Air Service, United States Army, and used by the 99th Aero Squadron from 11 March 1918, in charge of flying for the US 3d Artillery Observation School which had been created at the Mailly-le-Camp training grounds. On 31 May, the squadron received orders to move to Amanty Aerodrome, where it worked for the I Corps Observation Group School.
The airfield sheltered two pursuit Aero Squadrons (13th and 95th) from 11 May to 24 June, most likely for their further training, as the airfield was rather far from the front line and they both were at their final stage of organization.
The airfield was located at the southwest corner of the N 4 and D 318 crossroads, south of Haussimont - the other corners being occupied by artillery depots.
After the Armistice was signed, the airfield was used for some time by the French air service as an annex to the demobilization center set up at Sommesous.
From 1921 onwards, the airfield was used for some years as an emergency airfield, by nothing remained by 1938, as from aerial photographies.

2018 Men's Hockey World Cup
|
The 2018 Men's Hockey World Cup was the 14th edition of the Hockey World Cup, the quadrennial world championship for men's national field hockey teams organized by the FIH. It was held from 28 November to 16 December 2018, at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar, India. The inauguration ceremony which was held on 27 November 2018, witnessed the biggest ever drone flying show in India.
Belgium won the tournament for the first time after defeating the Netherlands 3–2 in the final on a penalty shoot-out after a 0–0 draw. Defending champions Australia won the third place match by defeating England 8–1 in the third place playoff of the Odisha men's hockey world cup 2018.
Bidding
In March 2013, one month after the FIH published the event assignment process document for the 2014–2018 cycle, Australia, Belgium, India, Malaysia and New Zealand were shortlisted as candidates for hosting the event and were asked to submit bidding documentation, a requirement that Belgium did not meet. In addition, one month before the host election, Australia withdrew their application due to technical and financial reasons. India was announced as host on 7 November 2013, during a special ceremony in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Qualification
Due to the increase to 16 participating teams, the new qualification process was announced in July 2015 by the International Hockey Federation. Each of the continental champions from five confederations and the host nation received an automatic berth, and the 10/11 highest placed teams at the Semifinals of the 2016–17 FIH Hockey World League not already qualified would enter the tournament. The following sixteen teams shown with final pre-tournament rankings, competed in this tournament.
– India qualified both as host and continental champion, therefore that quota was given to China as the highest-ranked team from the 2016–17 Hockey World League Semifinals not already qualified.
Format
The 16 teams were drawn into four groups, each containing four teams. Each team played each other team in its group once. The first-placed team in each group advanced to the quarter-finals, while the second- and third-placed teams in each group went into the crossover matches. From there on a single-elimination tournament was played.

University of Vic - Central University of Catalonia
|
The University of Vic - Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC), is a Catalan university with premises in Vic, Manresa and Granollers. It is a privately managed institution, under public supervision through its proprietor, the Balmes University Foundation, whose chair is the Mayor of Vic. UVic-UCC is a higher education and research centre. The UVic-UCC is a member of the Vives University Network.
It was recognised as a university in 1997, fruit of the fusion of several centres in Vic affiliated to other universities. Initially, there was a campus only in Vic, but in 2014 the University of Vic was reconstituted as the University of Vic - Central University of Catalonia (UVic-UCC), as a result of the federation between the University of Vic and university centres in Manresa managed by the Bages University Foundation.
The emblem of the University of Vic is the A of Charlemagne, a Carolingian gold ornament symbolising the principles of learning and boundless expansion. The university lemma, Scientiae patriaeque impendere vitam, is a verse of Lucan that means "Devoting life to the service of science and the community".
History
On 26 June 1599, Philip III of Spain granted permission for General Study activities in Vic and the privilege of graduating students in Art and Philosophy. Thus began the Literary University of Vic. In 1717, as a reprisal for the War of the Spanish Succession, Philip V suppressed all the Catalan universities, which had sided against him, and founded the University of Cervera in a Catalan city that had remained faithful to him. In 1749, the Vic Seminary for training priests was founded. In the 19th century Vic became a hub of cultural activity in the Catalan Renaixença., with figures of renown such as Jaume Balmes, Jacint Verdaguer and Jaume Collell, and institutions like the Episcopalian Library and Archive and the Literary Circle.
In 1873, the city council tried without success to re-establish the University of Vic. Finally during the Transition, the Jaume Balmes Teacher Training School, affiliated with the University of Barcelona was founded in 1977. The publishing house Eumo Editorial (EUMO is the Catalan acronym for University School of Teachers of Osona) was created in 1979 and the design studio Eumogràfic in 1984. The 1987–1988 academic year was the first of the Estudis Universitaris de Vic with three teaching centres: the Jaume Balmes Teacher Training School, the University School of Business Studies of Osona, affiliated with the University of Barcelona, and the Osona Nursing School, affiliated with the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
The Polytechnic School opened 1988, followed by the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting in 1993. In 1997, this group of centres merged into a new university, when the Parliament of Catalonia passed the Law for Recognition of the University of Vic on 21 May.

St Augustine's, Queen's Gate
|
St Augustine's, Queen's Gate, is a Grade II* listed Anglican church in Queen's Gate, Brompton, London, England. The church was built in 1865, and the architect was William Butterfield.
History
In 1865 the curate of Holy Trinity, Brompton, the Reverend R. R. Chope, had a temporary iron church put up in his garden off Gloucester Road, and there he would conduct services which, for one writer of the time, were "the nearest approach to Romanism we have witnessed in an Anglican church … if indeed it be not very Popery itself under the thinnest guise of the Protestant name". Finding the temporary church inadequate, a group of influential members of his congregation approached the Church Commissioners later that year with a request for the formation of a new parish in South Kensington to be known as St Augustine's. They offered a 'benefaction' of £100 per annum, stipulating that the first incumbent should be Mr Chope.
As there was no shortage of churches in the neighbourhood, the Bishop of London, A. C. Tait, objected strongly to the proposal and it was not until after he became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1868 that a site was purchased and the new parish formed. It was a difficult site, for although plans had been formulated to extend Queen's Gate to Old Brompton Road, at this time the road went no further than the crossing of Harrington Road. Access to the site had to be made through what is today Reece Mews, and the church plan was aligned with this. This accounts for the strange angle the church presents today in relation to Queen's Gate.
William Butterfield was appointed architect, and the estimated cost of his plan was £18,000. As there was not enough money, it was proposed to build the church in two stages. The nave and aisles were ready for services in 1871. The chancel and sanctuary were completed in 1876. The seating capacity was for 853 people. Gerald Hocken Knight was organist of St Augustine's from 1931 to 1937.
Present day
In 2010, St Augustine's was joined with the neighbouring parish of Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB). It was fully absorbed into its parish in March 2011, with the parish being renamed "Holy Trinity w St Paul, Onslow Sq and St Augustine, Sth Kensington". Unusually, given that HTB is a charismatic evangelical Anglican church, St Augustine's has "kept its Sung Eucharist, vestments and incense". It stands within the Modern Catholic tradition of the Church of England.
The Revd Paul Cowley, a curate of HTB was assigned to St Augustine's as its 'pastor'. He had no previous experience of High Church Anglicanism, having trained for ordination at Oak Hill College (a conservative evangelical theological college) and served as a minister of HTB (a charismatic evangelical church). Though he learnt the High Mass that was the main service of St Augustine's, he made a number of changes: a faculty was obtained to remove the pews and replace them with chairs but original pews as agreed with English Heritage are clearly on display in various parts of the building. Clergy from HTB wear albs and coloured stoles appropriate to the liturgical seasons to celebrate the weekly 11 am Sung Eucharist. There is also a service of Holy Communion at 9 am . A more informal, evening service was also introduced though this now takes place at St Paul's Onslow Square. In November 2018 The Revd Tom Jackson took over from Revd Paul Cowley. Under both these priests the congregation has flourished and grown and is an example to the rest of the church as to how different church traditions can happily and fruitfully coexist in a spirit of mutual understanding and respect.

Hong Kong Kids phenomenon
|
"Hong Kong Kids" or "Kong Kids" () is a derogatory expression that refers to a subset of children or teenagers in Hong Kong who are overly dependent on their families, have low emotional intelligence and lack self-management skills.
The term "Kong Kids" was coined in 2009 in a book titled Kong Kids: The Nightmares for Parents and Teachers published by Ming Pao. The book argues that there are five negative characteristics common in children born in Hong Kong after the 1990s.
Description
They are typically born during the 1990s to 2000s, belong to middle-class families, and are pampered and spoiled by family members.
Kong Kids typically have several common characteristics. As young children, they often lack life skills, such as bathing, cooking, and tying shoelaces. They are used to relying on their parents and foreign domestic helpers.
According to a survey by People's Daily Online, almost half of the parents who responded said that their children cannot eat, bathe or dress themselves independently and 15% of the respondents even said their children could not use the toilet independently. When faced with difficulty, "Kong Kids" expect others to solve the problems, because they are inexperienced with managing setbacks and have low self-esteem.
They are usually emotional and self-centred. With low Emotional Quotient (EQ), Kong Kids cannot control their emotion in any circumstances, such as dealing with unpleasant situations. They want to be under the spotlight and cared for by everyone.
Kong Kids are almost always not willing or able to solve problems by themselves. Being afraid of failure, they evade adversity and rely on parents.
They are usually weak in interpersonal communication and self-control. Being self-centred, they cannot put themselves into others' shoes and respect others' opinions. They lack basic manners and come into conflicts easily.
Most of the parents are over-protective of their children and shield them from difficulties and injuries. They are often referred to as "monster parents". Parents usually hire foreign domestic helpers to take care of their children, spoil them excessively and satisfy most of their requests. Indulging by parents may lead children to narcissism.
Kong Kids often love chasing new trends and pursuing well-known brands. Most of them own brand name goods and electronic gadgets such as mobile phones, iPads, iPods, digital cameras, etc. They do not treasure what they have and look for a materialistic life.
Causes
Nowadays, Hong Kong families typically have one or at most two children. According to some educational experts, some so-called 'monster parents' protect their children so well that they do not allow children to experience any setback. For instance, in 2010, the Hong Kong students could not get on the planes because of a snowstorm in London. The parents then strongly requested the government to assist students stranded at the airport. This issue induced a lot of criticisms towards parents because of their over-protection. The over-protected children hence have low resilience and can hardly overcome difficulties, which results in Kong Kids.
Most parents in Hong Kong also work full-time. This frequently means they employ a foreign domestic helper to take care of their children. According to a survey, nearly 90% of parents employ a foreign domestic helper to take care of their children. The domestic helpers are not responsible for correcting children's behaviour even though the kids behave wrongly. Therefore, some children become rebellious, impolite and disrespectful of others - characteristics of Kong Kids.
Finally, Hong Kong is an exam-obsessed city where most parents emphasise their children's academic results. The parents understate the need for resilience in their kids. Some children are expected to focus exclusively on academic matters, and not housework or other chores. As a result, these kids become dependent, both physically and psychologically, that is, they become Kong Kids.
Effects
Dependent individuals
Kids with "Kong Kid" symptoms have little ability to care for themselves and poor problem-solving skills. When faced with adversity, they immediately give up which can lead to feelings of melancholia and, in serious cases, suicide. Kong Kids tend to remain childlike and stunted psychologically.
For instance, in December 2010, a snowstorm paralysed the London Heathrow Airport, many Hong Kong students who came home for holiday were stranded at the airport. They stayed in the banquet rooms of hotels or slept in the airport. During that period, those Hong Kong students complained continuously about the situation and that the banquet rooms were like concentration camps.
Kong Kids have negative effects on themselves. Being spoiled, they do not know how to take care of themselves but to depend on others to live their lives. Therefore, Kong Kids have low self-care ability when compared to normal kids. For most of the time, Kong Kids' parents will help them to deal with all difficulties they face, such as handling conflicts between friends and communicating with teachers. In short term, Kong Kids lose a lot of social chances and cannot deal with hurdles by themselves while in long term, Kong Kids will lack essential communication skills and initiation of solving problems.
Poor family situations and relationships
Because the children rely excessively on others for care, this pressures parents to be responsible for their child's actions. The embarrassment and frustration of managing children's poor behaviour at home and in public prevents the growth of a healthy parent-child relationship and parents may feel frustrated and humiliated by their children's behaviour.
Burdens for Hong Kong's society
Children are the future generations, but Kong Kids may not be equipped to survive in the real world as they are unable to interact with and accommodate others. They do not cherish what they have and are less able to tolerate hardships at work and are at risk for termination of employment. This decreases the effectiveness of the workforce.
Kong Kids also negatively impact society. Depending on their parents, Kong Kids have low problem-solving abilities. As a result, once they step into society, they cannot solve problems efficiently, decreasing the productive potential of society. Because their parents solve their problems for them, Kong Kids usually lack motivation to work. The short supply of motivated and enthusiastic citizens reduces the society's competitiveness and therefore its affluence.
Solution
To avoid children becoming Kong Kids, parents and schools need to cooperate. According to child and education psychologists, parents should stop over-protecting their children and allow them to learn life self-care skills from daily life like buttoning shirts, tying shoe laces and feeding themselves. They should explain to their children the importance of these skills but not simply tell them to follow. Moreover, parents need to give children room to learn being independent. In order to equip children with the ability to cope with adversity, when they face difficulties, parents should let children solve it on their own rather than tackling it for them. While at school, teachers should guide students to develop interpersonal skills. This is a rare opportunity at home as the family sizes are usually small.
In media
In the book Kong Kids: The Nightmares for Parents and Teachers, written by Wong Ming Lok, Hong Kong Children are defined as those born from the middle of 90s to the early 2000s, which is an affluent era with information explosion.
Other literature denote Kong Kids as the "3-low Kong Kid". According to the newspaper article which originated this term, Hong Kong children have low autonomy, low emotion quotient and also low studying ability. Some of them do not help with the chores. They do not know how to change their clothes, shower themselves, tie the shoelaces and even tidy up Hong Kong children are vulnerable, not adaptable to challenges and difficulties, some of them may commit suicide due to academic pressure, family and emotional issues.
On 9 July 2011, a video entitled Tai Po Impolite Kong Kid Scolding Parents () was filmed by witnesses to the incident, posted on websites like YouTube, and was reported by the media.
In the three-minute video, a young boy with his hands on his hips shouted and condemned his parents for "forcing" him to accompany them to the Tai Po supermarket. He threatened to call the police and despite a surrounding crowd, spoke foul language when his parents asked him to be quiet. A passer-by, unable to stand the child's behaviour, gave the child HK$20 so that he could take a taxi home and stop harassing his parents. This video hit the local news and magazines.

Mad Head Love
|
"Mad Head Love" (stylised as "MAD HEAD LOVE") is a song by Japanese musician Kenshi Yonezu. It was released as a double A-side single alongside the song "Poppin' Apathy" on October 23, 2013, by Universal Signma, on the same day that Yonezu's two self-released Vocaloid albums, Hanataba to Suisō and Official Orange, were re-issued by independent label Boundee by SSNW.
Background and development
In May 2012, Yonezu released Diorama, his first album and first to use his own vocals. It was released under independent label Balloom. The album was written, produced and illustrated entirely by Yonezu himself. The album was commercially successful, debuting at number six on Oricon's albums charts, and was one of the most sold independently released albums of 2012 in Japan. A year later, Yonezu debuted under major label Universal Music Japan with the single "Santa Maria." Two of the songs were performed with a band, the first time Yonezu had worked like this. The single reached number 12 on chart provider Oricon's singles chart.
A week after the single's release, Yonezu released his first Vocaloid song in two and a half years, called , using Gumi vocals. It was the first time he used a live band on a Vocaloid song.
Writing and production
"Mad Head Love" and "Poppin' Apathy" were written at the same time, based on the theme of a Möbius strip. "Mad Head Love" was "positive" and "high tension", while "Poppin' Apathy" was written as a gloomy, negative song by Yonezu. Because of this, he felt it was right for them to be released together. Originally "Mad Head Love" was planned to be the sole A-side. The song was the second time Yonezu worked with a live band, after "Santa Maria" and its B-side "Hyakki Yakō". He enlisted childhood friend Hiroshi Nakajima to work as a guitarist on the song. The pair formed a band when they were at high school, with Yonezu singing his own compositions, and Nakajima accompanying him on guitar. "Mad Head Love" also features Masaki Hori, drummer for Sapporo-based band Scam Circle, and Yu Sato, the bassist for U&Design and a support member for Nona Reeves. Hori and Sato worked on sessions for other songs, including the Vocaloid song "Donut Hole" Yonezu released shortly after the single. In contrast, "Poppin' Apathy" and "Tori ni Demo Naritai" were arranged by Yonezu without a live band.
"Mad Head Love" was written about Yonezu's feelings when composing music, and gave the song a theme of "communication friction." As he always composes alone, he wrote about how it would be nice to connect with another person, even negatively. The lyrics depict love between two people, as well as their clashing opinions.
Promotion and release
The single was first announced in August 2013. Initially, the release date was planned for October 30, 2013, but it was later moved to the 23rd. "Mad Head Love" and "Poppin' Apathy" were first aired on the JFM radio show Yamada Hisashi ni Radian Limited F on September 14, 2013. On September 21 and October 19, 2013, Yonezu held his regular online streaming performances on Ustream. Interviews with Yonezu was featured in the magazines Rockin' On Japan and Marquee around the release of the single.
Music video
A music video for "Mad Head Love" was released online on September 21, 2013, and was directed by Sojiro Kamitani, who also directed a video for "Poppin' Apathy". "Mad Head Love" features three different scenes. Yonezu is shown performing different instruments such as a red Fender Telecaster electric guitar and a keyboard, as well as holding a recording device and listening through headphones. Other scenes show a Caucasian man and woman in beige clothing. They interact by prodding each other, such as poking the other person's ear, or messing up their hair. Other scenes show strange moving contraptions, such as one that turns a toy horse around, or a golden crane that drops a plastic fish onto a plate. The video for "Poppin' Apathy" was shot in the same location as "Mad Head Love", but in a darker, more cluttered environment.
It was one of 50 nominated for best video at the 2014 Space Shower Music Video Awards.
Reception
Commercially, the single debuted at number 11 on Oricon's singles chart, selling 6,300 copies. In total, it has sold 8,000 copies, under-performing Yonezu's previous single "Santa Maria".
The single was received well by music critics. OK Music described the single as "walking around in a badly controlled amusement park," and "had only praise for the off-beat sound make" of the single. Tomoyuki Mori of What's In? felt that the single was a "great development of [Yonezu's] unique style" from Diorama. He praised the "positive and negative" theme of the single, and was impressed by the constantly changing melody and "intricately constructed band sound" of "Mad Head Love", along with its literary lyrics, calling it "modern pop music". He was also impressed at the B-side "Tori ni Demo Naritai," noting how the "strange twisty sound" evoked both scariness and cuteness.

St Stephen's, Gloucester Road
|
St Stephen's Church, Gloucester Road, is a Grade II* listed Anglican church located on the corner of Gloucester Road and Southwell Gardens in South Kensington, London, England.
History
With the population of South Kensington expanding in the mid-Victorian period and the opening of Gloucester Road tube station in 1865, the Rev. John Sinclair, Vicar of Kensington and Archdeacon of Middlesex, arranged for the purchase of land from the Alexander estate to establish several new churches, including St Stephen's.
A temporary iron church was erected on the east side of Gloucester Road in 1865 while designs were sought for a permanent building. St Stephen's was built in 1866–1867 to designs by the architect Joseph Peacock, though construction ended before a tower could be added. The new building was consecrated on 10 January 1867.
Although the first vicar, the Rev. J. A. Aston, was considered an Evangelical, his successors, the Rev. J. P. Waldo and the Rev. G. Sutton Flack, had steered the parish to a more High Church stance by the late nineteenth century. In 1887 the architect Hugh Roumieu Gough added a distinctive octagonal vestry and lady chapel. Stained glass windows designed by Nathaniel Westlake were installed in the 1890s. Further changes were introduced following the installation of the Rev. Lord Victor Seymour as vicar in 1900: the architects George Frederick Bodley and Walter Tapper erected the reredos in gilded wood behind the high altar, as well as galleries for the choir and organ. Alterations continued to be made during the twentieth century, particularly in the 1930s.
Present
St Stephen's offers a number of Sunday and weekday Masses, with music sung by a professional choir. The organ, built in 1905 by Norman and Beard, was enlarged in 2001 by T. W. Fearn & Son.
As a traditional Anglo-Catholic parish which does not accept ordination of women to the priesthood and as bishops, St Stephen's receives alternative episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Fulham, currently the Rt. Rev. Jonathan Baker. The parish is a member of Forward in Faith.
Notable connections
The church is noted for its connection with the poet T. S. Eliot. Following the traumatic breakdown of his marriage to Vivienne Haigh-Wood, Eliot sought spiritual refuge at St Stephen's. Between 1933 and 1940 he lived in the church's vicarage, first at 9 Grenville Place (1934–1937), then at 11 Emperor's Gate (1937–1940). St Stephen's played a prominent role in the development of his Christian faith as he explored the traditions and disciplines of Anglo-Catholic worship and devotional practices. For 25 years he served as a churchwarden of St Stephen's, and a memorial to him was erected in the church after he died.
Vicars of St Stephen's
The following priests have served as vicar of St Stephen's since 1867:
1867–1871: The Rev. John Astbury Aston
1871–1894: The Rev. Joseph Peter Waldo
1894–1900: The Rev. George Sutton Flack
1900–1929: The Rev. Lord Victor Alexander Seymour
1929–1956: The Rev. Eric Samuel Cheetham
1956-1988?: The Rev. Herbert Moore
1988?-1995 The Rev. Christopher Colven
1995–2016: The Rev. Reginald Bushau
2017–present: The Rev. Philip Barnes

Heathrow Hub
|
Heathrow Hub is an independent proposal to expand capacity at London's Heathrow Airport, put forward by Jock Lowe, a former Concorde pilot, and Mark Bostock, an ex-director at Arup Group.
The proposal was shortlisted in Sir Howard Davies' Airports Commission's interim report.
Heathrow Hub proposes extending both of the existing runways up to a total length of about 7,000 metres and dividing them into four so that they each provide two, full length, runways, allowing simultaneous take-offs and landings. The aim is to complete the construction within five years and with 100% private funds.
Available capacity would be doubled while keeping a percentage of the slots unused in order to alter noise levels. In addition, early morning flights could land much further west along the extended runways so reducing the noise footprint for a large area of west London. Other noise mitigation techniques include using two-stage approaches, and steeper, curved climb-outs.
The Heathrow Hub concept includes a new multimodal air, rail and road interchange located approximately two miles north of Heathrow's Terminal 5 to accommodate passenger growth. This includes a new terminal, a new railway station connecting Heathrow to the West Coast Mainline and Crossrail and direct access to the M25 motorway.
According to a paper published by the think-tank the Centre for Policy Studies, the Heathrow Hub proposal would cost ~£10 billion compared to the £65 billion estimated cost of the Thames Estuary Airport situated on the Isle of Grain and promoted by London Mayor Boris Johnson. Heathrow Hub estimates the cost of implementing its expansion plan to reach ~£12.5 billion, including road diversions and a train station. The commission estimates the cost to be around £13.5 billion; higher than HH's own estimate.
The technical work for the proposal has been done by URS Corporation, an international engineering consultancy.

2016 Men's Hockey Champions Trophy
|
The 2016 Men's Hockey Champions Trophy was the 36th edition of the Hockey Champions Trophy for men. It was held between 10 and 17 June 2016 in London, United Kingdom.
Australia won the tournament for a record fourteenth time after defeating India 3–1 in the final on a penalty shoot-out after a 0–0 draw.
Host city change
When the FIH unveiled the event hosts for the 2015–2018 cycle, Argentina was chosen to host this tournament for the first time. After the success of the 2012–13 Women's World League Final played in San Miguel de Tucumán, in early 2015 this city was announced as the host for the 2016 edition of the Champions Trophy. However, in March 2016, the FIH had to terminate all contractual agreements with Argentina as the Argentine Hockey Confederation was unable to fulfil their contractual obligations in regards to television rights, sponsorship and the hosting of events. London was announced as the host instead.
Format
After three editions with two different formats, it was decided to go back to the same one used up until the 2010 edition which consisted of a six-team, round robin tournament.
Qualification
A change in the qualification process was decided, similar to the one used up until 2010. Alongside the host nation, the last Olympic, World Cup and World League champions qualify automatically as well as the winner of the 2014 Champions Challenge I. The remaining spot will be nominated by the FIH Executive Board, making a total of 6 competing teams. If teams qualify under more than once criteria, the additional teams will be invited by the FIH Executive Board as well.

Song Giwon
|
Song Giwon (Hangul: 송기원 is a modern South Korean novelist, who has won several awards, and been arrested for suspected treason.
Life
Song Giwon was born on July 1, 1947, in the Choseong Township of Boseong County, Jeollanam-do, in South Korea. In 1966, while a student at Joseon High School, his poem “Field of Flowers” (Kkotbat) was chosen for a prize in a nationwide writing contest for high school students sponsored by Korea University. Later his poem “Song of the Wind” (Baramui norae) was chosen in a similar contest put on by the Sorabol College of Arts, and in 1967 his poem “On a Sleepless Night” (Bulmyeonui bame) won a prize in the spring literary contest held by the Chonnam Daily newspaper. In 1968, due to the outcome of the contest, he entered Sorabol College of Arts.
His personal life was more tangled. Song Gi-weon was reared from early boyhood by a step-father following his parents’ divorce. His biological father, an alcoholic and opium addict, lay down on railroad tracks in a state of drunkenness and lost his life when Song was just 18. As an unsettled youngster, Song often got into trouble for fighting with his classmates, but he was also a consistent winner at annual literary composition contests, and his literary talent was recognized at a young age. While maintaining a self- deprecatory view of himself as one having “bad blood”, Song's younger years were fueled by his strong desire to be a professional writer.
Song Giwon volunteered for service in the Vietnam War in 1970, but was struck by malaria and was sent home after his hospital stay. Song characterizes his Vietnam experience as a self-destructive time in his life when he put himself at death's doorway. After surviving his brush with death, he began writing poems and novels in 1974. At the early stage of his writing career, he began focusing his attention on Korea's oppressive political situation. His self-destructive instinct re-emerged at this time as “resistance.” During the late 1970s, he employed his writing talents as a leading figure in the “Declaration of the National Political Situation.” Then, in 1980, he was imprisoned for some time for his involvement in the Gim Daejung (then an opposition party leader) Incident. Afterwards, he helped plan and publish several progressive journals (Silcheon munhak, Minjung Gyoyuk, Nodong munhak, etc.) and acted as a leader in the democratization and people's movements, for which he was arrested and imprisoned several times. This temporarily halted his writing
Starting in the 1990s, Song was able to return solely to creative writing. Following his travels to India and Myanmar in 1997, he became enraptured with Buddhism and turned to writing about Buddhist themes and self- observation. He has also been an active poet.
Work
The Wolmunli series of poems written at the beginning of Song Giwon's career affirms the vast distance between peasants and intellectuals and follows the process of discovering the wisdom hidden in the lives of the former. From the perspective of a first-person observer, the author portrays the social conditions of peasants and underscores labor as the mediating activity between man and nature. In doing so he confirms the power of land and explores the possibilities for a connection between intellectuals and peasants.
“At Wolmunli, IV” (Wolmunlieseo IV) contains a scenes at its end in which an old man from North Korea, Cho Mandol, who displays no interest in politics even when the entire nation is clamoring about reuniting separated families, unexpectedly decides to go in search of his younger brother. This last scene is particularly impressive, in that is successfully captures the lives of the peasants and their hard-bred wisdom, both of which sustain themselves without break during the most turbulent of times. Song writes that their lives are "the hardest sort of earth, and an enormous and mysterious force in that earth which pushes upward to rise through the cracks it will make and the holes it will bore without regard for rock or the sharp edges of hoes or blades of shovels." In “Again at Wolmunli”, the conclusion of the Wolmunli series, the scene in which the protagonist, in prison, hears of his mother's death is repeatedly juxtaposed with the scene of his visit to her grave until the two are brought to an end with the protagonist's conviction that he 'will not live as easily as mother'. The protagonist's appreciation and understanding of his mother, and his own self-revelations at the end of the poem-cycle combine to produce a highly affecting and memorable piece. Song's most recent work, Come to Me, I Will Gladly Go to You (Neoege gama naege ora) is set in a marketplace and portrays the great pains of the common people in their search for love and hope. Although their lives are tainted by despair, insanity, and violence, the author convincingly portrays their corrupt behavior as arising not from a corrupt nature, but from their desolation. Song's lyrical style is here particularly effective in portraying their grotesque lives as possessing a shimmering, haunting beauty.

Laura Seddon Greeting Card Collection
|
Laura Seddon Greeting Card Collection is a collection of 19th to early 20th century British greeting cards, housed in the All Saints Library of Manchester Metropolitan University, England. The collection contains 32,000 cards by various publishers, including Britain's first commercially-produced Christmas card. Laura Seddon donated her collection to the university in 1992.
Overview
The collection consists of a section of 32,000 Victorian and Edwardian greeting cards by major publishers of the day. It includes cards printed by hand like those produced by Sockl and Nathan and also mass-produced cards (a subsequent production method) like those produced by Marcus Ward & Co and Raphael Tuck & Sons. Some of the cards hold special significance, like Britain's first commercially produced Christmas card dating from 1843.
The collection is catalogued in Laura Seddon's book A Gallery of Greetings. Another section of the collection includes 450 Valentine's Day cards dating from the early nineteenth century, which Seddon also catalogued. The cards vary from loving to crude and show a different side to the Victorian values that might be expected. The cards include fake wedding certificates, cards that make references to haliotis and others that suggest that the recipient may face being "left on the shelf".
History
Laura Seddon got the idea for this collection after attending a presentation by Sir Harry Page, a Manchester City Council treasurer, where she saw his collection which included 276 bound scrap-albums created between 1752 and 1935. Page's aim had been to avoid collections of press cuttings but to try to find writings, paintings, "the prints and scraps" which had been gathered together by "young ladies". He had gathered many of these but his collection had spread its focus but always retaining a discernment.
Page's meta-collection suggested to Seddon that she might create her own collection. She decided to focus on early greeting cards from both the Victorian and Edwardian periods.
The card collection was curated by Laura Seddon over a period of twenty years initially using George Buday's book "History of the Christmas Card". The collection became so important that she was able to donate it to the Manchester Metropolitan University. Seddon became an Honorary Fellow of the University in 1992 in recognition of her donation and achievement. Together with the Sir Harry Page collection (which was purchased by this University), these makes up the two Victorian Ephemera collections of the MMU Special Collections.

La Noblette Aerodrome
|
La Noblette Aerodrome, was a temporary World War I airfield in France. It was located Southeast of the commune of Mourmelon-le-Grand, in the Marne department in north-eastern France.
Overview
The airfield of La Noblette was used by the French Air Services since summer 1915, on the northeast side of the village.
At the end of 1917, the French SPA 124 escadrille which had hosted the American volunteer pilots since April 1916, was part of the "Groupe de Combat no 13", working for the French fourth army, in the Champagne area. It became "Escadrille Lafayette", while a new SPA 124 with French pilots was created, but was soon disbanded sometime in February 1918 and its pilots joined the 103rd Aero Squadron arriving at La Noblette on 13 February after its ground troops had been at Issoudun Aerodrome where they had arrived on Christmas Eve, 1917. The 103rd was incorporated in the French "Groupe de Combat no 21", still working for the French fourth army, until 10 April, when it moved further west at La Bonne Maison Aerodrome near Fismes, this time flying missions for the French sixth army.
La Noblette was used by the French Air Services until March 1919, then returned to agricultural use. Today it is a series of cultivated fields located southeast of Mourmelon-le-Grand, with no indications of its wartime use.

The 2018 Women's Hockey Champions Trophy was the 23rd and last edition of the Hockey Champions Trophy for women. It was held between 17 and 25 November 2018 in Changzhou, China.
The Netherlands won the tournament for the seventh time after defeating Australia 5–1 in the final, tying the record of seven titles previously set by Argentina in 2016.
Host city change
When the FIH unveiled the event hosts for the 2015–2018 cycle, Argentina was chosen to host this tournament. However, in March 2016, the FIH had to terminate all contractual agreements with Argentina as the Argentine Hockey Confederation was unable to fulfil their contractual obligations in regards to television rights, sponsorship and the hosting of events. Changzhou was announced as the host instead.
Qualification
Alongside the host nation, the defending champions, the last Olympic, World Cup and World League champions qualified automatically. The remaining spots were nominated by the FIH Executive Board, making a total of six competing teams. If teams qualified under more than once criteria, the additional teams were invited by the FIH Executive Board as well.

Khmer Braille
|
Khmer Braille is the braille alphabet of the Khmer language of Cambodia.
Charts
In printed Khmer, the alphabet is divided into consonant letters, consonant diacritics (conjuncts), and vowel diacritics. (That is, the Khmer alphabet is an abugida.) In braille Khmer, however, all of these are full letters. Out of deference to tradition, however, the braille alphabet is divided into sections according to the form in print.
Print letters
The first three rows are the stand-alone consonants in print, and the last two the stand-alone vowels. These occur initially and after a/another vowel.

As in print, the consonant letters fall into two classes which trigger different readings of associated vowels. When no vowel is written, an â or ô (depending on the consonant class) is understood. In print these two classes are simply different consonants. In braille, however, they are written the same, except that the ô class is marked by prefixing point-6. Thus khâ is , while khô (an unrelated letter in print) is . The exceptions are four ô-class consonants which do not have â-class partners, ngô, mô, rô, vô.
Most of the stand-alone vowels are derived from the combining vowels (next section) by a prefix or suffix.
Shaded cells either have not been assigned braille codes, or are derived with combinations of diacritics not included in UNESCO (2013). Conjuncts''' (combinations of full and subscript consonants) in print are indicated with a linking in braille. Thus the print khm of "Khmer" is in braille.
Print diacritics
Vowels are diacritics in print, but in braille they are full letters and follow what is the host letter in print. Thus in print khmêr, the vowel ê precedes the consonant cluster khm, but in braille the vowel ê follows the consonant cluster khm, thus: khmêr. The vowels are as follows. (In order to display properly on all browsers, the print diacritics are hosted on the letter , which is not repeated in braille. On that host, the vowels take the upper romanized value; on a class-ô consonant they would have the lower value.)
A final h is added to several additional vowels tacking on to one of the braille letters above: ĕh / ĭh, œ̆h, êh''.
Print Khmer has several other diacritics which are not listed in UNESCO (2013) for braille.
Punctuation
Cambodian Braille punctuation is modified from Western braille. The traditional full stop, , is braille .
The same character is used for the semicolon and the question mark. The colon also differs from international norms.

Helping Homeless Veterans Act of 2013
|
The Helping Homeless Veterans Act of 2013 (), long title "To amend title 38, United States Code, to expand the definition of homeless veteran for purposes of benefits under the laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and for other purposes," is a bill that would change the definition of "homeless veteran" to expand persons that are covered. The new definition would "allow a veteran or veterans’ family member fleeing domestic violence or sexual assault to be categorized as homeless in order to receive certain benefits offered by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs." The law would increase the per diem payments that homeless veterans receive for assistance in finding a new home and authorize the payment of per diems to the dependents of homeless veterans. It passed in the United States Senate during the 113th United States Congress.
Background
There is a related bill, , that was introduced into the United States House of Representatives during the 113th Congress.
Provisions of the bill
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Research Service, a public domain source.
The bill S. 287 would include in the formal definition of a homeless veteran, for purposes of eligibility for benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), a veteran or veteran's family fleeing domestic or dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or other dangerous or life-threatening conditions in the current housing situation, including where the health and safety of children are jeopardized, there is no other residence, and there is a lack of resources or support networks to obtain other permanent housing.
Congressional Budget Office report
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Budget Office, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs on July 24, 2013. This is a public domain source.
S. 287 would reauthorize and expand several programs for homeless veterans that are administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that implementing the bill would cost $842 million over the 2014–2018 period, assuming appropriation of the specified and estimated amounts.
In addition, the CBO estimated that enacting the bill would decrease net direct spending by $294 million over the 2014–2023 period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply to the bill. Enacting S. 287 would not affect revenues.
S. 287 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
Procedural history
Senate
S. 287 was introduced into the Senate on February 12, 2013, by Sen. Mark Begich (D, AK). It was referred to the United States Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, which held a hearing about the bill on May 9, 2013. The bill was accompanied by Senate Report 113-110. The Senate voted by Unanimous consent on November 6, 2013, to pass the bill.
Debate and discussion
The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans testified in favor of the bill on the May 9, 2013 hearings.
