His book *The Aisle Is Full of Noises* (Nick Hern Books, 1994), a diary of a year in the theatre, was withdrawn following complaints of potential libel from Milton Shulman; although, as reported in *The Times* of 21 September 1994, Coveney \"thought the comments were in the spirit of the book. I rather regret that Milton, of whom I am actually rather fond, didn\'t take them in that spirit.\" Most copies of the book had been sold before its withdrawal. In 2011, he published a biography of Ken Campbell, *The Great Caper*.
He has also published a biography of Andrew Lloyd Webber, and a revised edition of his biography of Maggie Smith was published in 2015.

# Alex McLeod
**Alexandra Ann McLeod** (born December 21, 1968) is an American television host and entertainment news correspondent best known for being the original host of TLC\'s hit cable show *Trading Spaces*. She got her start as a comedic actress and hosted the first forty episodes of the reality-based home improvement series that launched the makeover show phenomenon.
## Biography
### Early life {#early_life}
McLeod was born and raised in Galveston, Texas, in the United States. Her father was a politician and real estate developer and her mother a teacher. As a young girl, she spent a lot of time on the campaign trail with her father, a former Texas state legislator.
McLeod attended the prestigious Kinkaid High School in Houston. Later, she attended The University of Texas at Austin, where she received a degree in Communications. While in college on summer break, McLeod got her first broadcasting job as a news intern at KPRC-NBC in Houston. She began acting at UCLA, where she took acting and film, history classes.
### Television career {#television_career}
McLeod began her career in Hollywood performing in numerous national commercial spots and sitcoms (*Married\... with Children*, *Nightstand*, and *Partners*) McLeod\'s first real break came as the cheeky Hollywood correspondent of the irreverent and popular film review series, *Moviewatch*, which aired on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. From 1996 to 1998 McLeod spent two seasons as the sidekick to British TV personality Johnny Vaughan (*The Big Breakfast, Passport To Paradise*), engaging in interviews with A-list film stars, reporting movie news from Los Angeles, and performing in comedy sketches satirizing the entertainment industry. In 1999 McLeod went on to perform comedy sketches for the cable show *IZ*, which aired late night and on the internet, the web site formerly named *IZ.com*.
### Mainstream success {#mainstream_success}
In 2000, McLeod\'s demo reel caught the eye of a TLC network executive, during the casting for the first season of *Trading Spaces*. After viewing a sketch entitled, *Will Model for Food*, TLC offered her the job as host of their flagship show, *Trading Spaces*. McLeod signed on for forty episodes. The show was a hit and McLeod shared in a daytime Emmy nomination with her Producers after one season on air in the Outstanding Special Class Series category. TLC Executive Producer Stephen Schwartz called McLeod his \"hands-down choice for host.\"
Linda Stasi of *The New York Post* described McLeod as the \"perfect\" host and Daniel McGinn of *Newsweek* compared McLeod to Classic Coke, truly an \"original\". When she decided to leave the show in the summer of 2001, McLeod told Newsweek she chose to \"lay down her own paintbrush\" and leave her Alex-cam and the demanding road schedule behind.
After leaving \"Trading Spaces\" in 2002 McLeod performed in back to back reality TV projects making the move into major network television with a hosting role on Fox\'s controversial first season of *Joe Millionaire* shot on location in France\'s Loire Valley. On the first Joe Millionaire, single women competed for the affection of a would-be millionaire who in reality was a manual laborer making only \$19,000 annually. The show was wildly successful with over 40 million viewers in the US tuning into the season one finale.
Next, McLeod became the co-host of *A&E*\'s *Best of Both Worlds* alongside Phil Keoghan (*The Amazing Race*). In this two-part reality travel special, McLeod agreed to \"rough it\" on an economy tour of Hawaii and then to experience the reward of a luxury tour through Hong Kong.
In 2003, McLeod landed a guest co-host spot for two episodes on ABC\'s all-female talk show, *The View* as a candidate to fill outgoing host, Lisa Ling\'s chair. McLeod\'s appearance was also used again in another episode of *The View* featuring \"Strong Women\".

She appeared on the Sci-Fi Channel as a correspondent for *The Belzer Connection*, a two-part special on conspiracies based on comedian/actor Richard Belzer\'s book, entitled *UFOs, JFK, and Elvis*. She has appeared as a celebrity guest on Soap Talk on Soapnet and was a celebrity guest panelist on *The Test* on FX. She has been featured in publications such as *Newsweek*, and *Entertainment Weekly*.
Often McLeod returns to her roots as an entertainment news correspondent. From 2003 to 2004, McLeod covered numerous movie premieres as a red-carpet correspondent for *Starz Movie News*. She also hosted *The Weekend*, a weekend of academy award-winning movies celebrating Oscar winners past and present. Both aired on the Starz family of channels. McLeod was also a spokeswoman for a Starz/DirecTV weekend promotional campaign.
In 2008, McLeod worked as a red-carpet correspondent for the TV Guide Network\'s *Hollywood 411* daily entertainment news show.
In 2012, McLeod hosted a television pilot based on the popular food blog, \"[The Chocolate Tourist](https://web.archive.org/web/20130722103411/http://thechocolatetourist.tv/)\" shot on location in Brussels, Belgium.

# Pennsylvania Route 423
**Pennsylvania Route 423** (**PA 423**) is a state route in Monroe and Wayne counties in Pennsylvania. It runs for 14.32 mi, crossing through the Pocono Mountains from PA 940 in Pocono Pines to PA 191 in South Sterling. The route runs southwest-northeast through forested areas of the Pocono Mountains as a two-lane undivided road. In Tobyhanna, PA 423 has an interchange with Interstate 380 (I-380) and an intersection with PA 611. Farther northeast, the route crosses PA 196 in Gouldsboro. **PA 490** was designated in 1928 to run from U.S. Route 611 (US 611) in Tobyhanna northeast to PA 90 (now PA 191) in Laanna. In the 1930s, the route was extended and realigned to run from PA 940 in Pocono Pines to PA 90 in South Sterling. PA 490 became PA 423 in the 1960s.
## Route description {#route_description}
PA 423 begins at an intersection with PA 940 in the community of Pocono Pines. The route heads northbound as Warnertown Road, progressing around the shores of Lake Naomi. The surroundings of the highway are primarily residential. Just after the intersection with Firehouse Road in Pocono Pines, the road turns eastward along the westernmost shore of Lake Naomi. After PA 423 leaves the shoreline, it turns northward and continues through the residential hills north of the lake. The highway passes through a small community named Lake Naomi Estates. It soon passes a local school and leaves Lake Naomi Estates. The surroundings become woodlands as PA 423 darts northwest and soon to the northeast. The two-lane highway maintains the northeast progression through forests until turning north. There it turns eastward and returns northeastward for several miles and after several changes crosses Tobyhanna Creek and enters the community of Warnertown. Just after crossing the small community, PA 423 enters an interchange with I-380. After crossing the interchange with I-380, PA 423 heads eastward and enters an at-grade intersection with PA 611 in Tobyhanna. The road is renamed to Prospect Street and enters downtown Tobyhanna, crossing through a residential stretch. At Main Street, Prospect Street ends and PA 423 turns northward onto Main Street. This does not last, as the designation darts northward on Church Street. Following Church Street out of downtown Tobyhanna, PA 423 crosses the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad, passing the former Tobyhanna Station and interlocking tower for the switch to the Tobyhanna Army Depot. The highway continues north of the tracks and along the side of the Army Depot into a rural portion of Tobyhanna. The name changes from Church Street to Tobyhanna State Park Road, entering the namesake park near Tobyhanna Lake. PA 423 passes the dam attached at the end of the lake, where it crosses Tobyhanna Creek again, and crosses along the side of the park. After passing the state campground entrance, the highway heads eastward through a stretch of woodlands, crossing and passing two routes of power lines. After passing to the north of a large residential complex, the highway intersects with PA 196 in Gouldsboro.
After crossing PA 196, PA 423 changes names to Carlton Road and parallels PA 196 northbound along Kistler Ledge. After the two roads fork in different directions, PA 423 crosses the county line into Wayne County. The route passes a few stretches of residential homes and much woodland in Wayne County, turning to the northeast and intersecting with PA 191 in the community of South Sterling. This also serves as PA 423\'s northern terminus, as the right-of-way merges into PA 191.
## History
When Pennsylvania first legislated routes in 1911, the present-day alignment of PA 423 was not given a number. In 1928, PA 490 was designated to run from US 611 (now PA 611) in Tobyhanna northeast to PA 90 (now PA 191) in Laanna. At this time, a small section northeast of Tobyhanna was paved while the remainder of the route was unpaved. In addition, the current route between Pocono Pines and Tobyhanna was an unpaved, unnumbered road. In the 1930s, PA 490 was extended southwest from Tobyhanna to PA 940 in Pocono Pines and was realigned to intersect PA 90 south of South Sterling. At this time, the entire length of the route was paved. PA 490 was renumbered to PA 423 in the 1960s.

## Major intersections {#major_intersections}
## PA 423 Truck {#pa_423_truck}
**Pennsylvania Route 423 Truck** is a truck route bypassing a segment of PA 423 on which trucks with trailers over 45 feet in length are prohibited. This segment also features a weight-restricted bridge over Kistler Run. The route follows PA 940 and I-380 throughout Monroe County, Pennsylvania. Unlike many other truck routes throughout the state that were established in 2013, PA 423 Truck was signed in 2019 after the weight-restricted bridge on PA 940 had been repaired. As of March 2021, the bridge has no weight-restrictions over it, and construction on repairing the bridge was started around that same time. Because the truck restriction is still in place on mainline PA 423, the route is still signed

The 1979 edition of the *Concise Oxford Dictionary of Opera* lists her as born **Adriana Gabrieli** and later known as **La Ferrarese** (presumably from the city of her birth). However, *Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians* notes that her identification with a Francesca Gabrielli, *detta la Ferrarese* (\"nicknamed the Ferrarese one\"), whom Charles Burney heard in Venice in 1770, is not based on solid evidence. What is known is that she married Luigi del Bene in 1782 and performed thereafter as Adriana Ferrarese (or Ferraresi) del Bene.
Ferrarese del Bene studied in Venice and performed in London (1785--1787) before arriving in Vienna, where she made her reputation singing serious roles in opera buffa (1788--1791). The publication *Rapport von Wien* reported, \"She has, in addition to an unbelievable high register, a striking low register and connoisseurs of music claim that in living memory no such voice has sounded within Vienna\'s walls.\"
## Performance of Mozart {#performance_of_mozart}
William Mann reports Mozart had an extreme dislike for Ferrarese del Bene, for whom he first created the role of Fiordiligi in *Così fan tutte*. Aware of her tendency to drop her chin and throw back her head while singing low and high notes respectively, Mozart chose to fill her showpiece aria (\"*i=no*\") with continuous harmonic leaps to force her to bob her head \"like a chicken\"

# Medveczky
The **Medveczky** family was a Hungarian aristocratic family living mostly in Upper Hungary (present day Slovakia) and Hungary. It was mentioned in the thirteenth century (about 1280--1290), when the family was given the title of squire. In 1355, King Louis the Great gave Ladislav and Urban Medveczky a noble title. They were also given a forest land of area 10 *poplužie*, situated by the Medveczky brook in Orava. In 1370, their brother Opilius was also elevated into a nobleman.
The Medveczky Family was an owner of the area of Maly Bysterec that is nowadays a part of Dolný Kubín (*Alsókubin*). Maly Bysterec was originally settled as a squiral settlement that was separated from Orava Castle estate. In 1355, this land was given to Jakub and Miko defined as an area of 10 units *poplužie* by the Bysterec brook, which rises in Kubinska Hola.
Many family members used the title \"Medveczei és Kis Bisterczei\" or \"Kis Bisterczai és Medveczei\" referred as \"Medveczky from Medvedzie\" and \"Maly Bysterec\" or vice versa till the end of World War I. After World War I, the main head of the family used the title of the Right Honourable Count Medveczky, indicating their nobility whilst living abroad.
Some family members changed their surname at the end of eighteenth and in the nineteenth century for various reasons. As a result, some new family names emerged, for example Ursínyi, Medve, Medvesy, Bäer, Kaftan, Tomovics, Laurovics. These surnames were used for longer or shorter periods of time. Many of family members returned to the original surname Medveczky later. From the second half of the nineteenth century until the present, a second surname to the family name Medveczky have been carried on.`{{Clarify|date=September 2016}}`{=mediawiki} Here are some examples: Adaca, Baer, Baher, Beno, Borsuk, Ciglieda, Fercík, Gasper, Gergel, Heretík, Holub, Hura, Jancek, Kukla, Martiš, Martinek, Matejek, Mucha, Ollo, Pavlík, Páterek, Pišút, Rapák, Šeben.
## Notable members {#notable_members}
Some members of the family acquired national and even international reputation in the field of science and arts. For example, Ádám Medveczky is one of the most famous Hungarian contemporary conductors and István Medveczky was a veterinarian and professor at the Budapest University.
Peter G. Medveczky, graduated from the Semmelweis Medical School and is an internationally known virologist and professor in the College of Medicine at the University of South Florida

Employment nearly doubled from 800 employees in 1996 to more than 1,500 employees in 1999, including more than 750 employees at a new separate Customer Service Center facility in Lynchburg.
BGA distribution continued as First Colony Life\'s primary life insurance and annuity sales channel with a sales force of more than 135,000 independent life insurance agents and brokers.

# Pietro de' Crescenzi
**Pietro de\' Crescenzi** (*Petrus de Crescentiis*; c. 1230/35 -- c. 1320), also known as **Pietro Crescenzi**(**o**), **Pier Crescenzi**(**o**) and other variations of his name, was an Italian jurist from Bologna, now remembered for his writings on horticulture and agriculture, the *Ruralia commoda*.`{{r|OSU}}`{=mediawiki}
## Life
Pietro de\' Crescenzi was born in Bologna in about 1235; the only evidence for his date of birth is the annotation \"septuagenarian\" in the *Ruralia commoda*, dated with some certainty between 1304 and 1309. He was educated at the University of Bologna in logic, medicine, the natural sciences and law, but did not take his doctorate. Crescenzi practiced as a lawyer and judge from about 1269 until 1299, travelling widely in Italy in the course of his work.
In January 1274 he married Geraldina de\' Castagnoli, with whom he had at least five children. She died in or shortly after December 1287. In January 1289 he married Antonia de\' Nascentori, with whom he also had several children.
After his retirement in 1290 he divided his time between Bologna and his country estate, the Villa dell\'Olmo outside the walls of Bologna. During this time he wrote the *Ruralia commoda*, an agricultural treatise based largely on classical and medieval sources (mostly Albertus Magnus), as well as his own experience as a landowner.
It is not known when de\' Crescenzi died. His last will is dated 23 June 1320; a legal document dated 20 February 1321 describes him as dead, at the age of almost ninety.
## The *Ruralia commoda* {#the_ruralia_commoda}
The *Ruralia commoda*, sometimes known as the *Liber ruralium commodorum* (\"book of rural benefits\"), was completed some time between 1304 and 1309, and was dedicated to Charles II of Naples. King Charles V of France ordered a French translation in 1373. In 1471 it was printed in Latin for the first time, in Augsburg and Strasbourg. After circulating in numerous manuscript copies, Crescenzi\'s treatise became the first printed modern text on agriculture when it was published in Augsburg by Johann Schüssler in 1471.`{{r|rur}}`{=mediawiki} Some 57 editions in Latin, Italian, French, and German appeared during the following century, as did two editions in Polish.
### Sections
The structure and content of the *Ruralia commoda* is substantially based on the *De re rustica* of Columella, written in the first century AD, even though this work was not available to de\' Crescenzi, and was known only in fragments until a complete version was discovered in a monastery library by Poggio Bracciolini during the Council of Constance, between 1414 and 1418. While de\' Crescenzi cites Columella twelve times, all the citations are indirect, and taken from the *Opus agriculturae* of Rutilius Taurus Aemilianus Palladius. Like the *De re rustica* of Columella, the *Ruralia commoda* is divided into 12 parts:
1. Siting and layout of a manor, villa or farm, considering climate, winds, and water supply; also the duties of the head of the estate
2. Botanical properties of plants and horticultural techniques
3. Agriculture of cereals and building of a granary
4. Vines and winemaking
5. Arboriculture---trees useful for food and medicine
6. Horticulture---plants useful for food and medicine
7. Management of meadows and woodland
8. Pleasure gardens
9. Animal husbandry and bee keeping
10. Hunting and fishing
11. General summary
12. Monthly calendar of tasks
## Legacy
Crescenzi was so well known his name was used to advertise books as late as 1602. He also inspired a genre of German literature called *Hausväterliteratur* (\'reading for the father of the family\'), practical guides about crop husbandry, gardening, cattle breeding, hunting, etiquette, and so on for peasant farmers . Books in this genre were published into the 19th century

# George Albu
**Sir George Albu, 1st Baronet** (26 October 1857 -- 27 December 1935) was a mining magnate in the diamond and gold industries of South Africa.
## Biography
thumb\|Lady Albu at wheel of CGV, London April 1905 thumb\|Northwards, Johannesburg 26.17720S, 28.03650E George Albu was born in Berlin, Kingdom of Prussia in 1857. The son of Simon Albu (26 February 1830 -- 26 February 1911) and Fanny Sternberg (d. 24 October 1912), George and his brother Leopold were German Jews who emigrated to Cape Colony in 1876. On arrival in Cape Town, George became an assistant at the haberdashery counter in Stuttafords. After some time in Cape Town, they moved to the diamond-fields of Kimberley, accumulated financial interests, and sold out to De Beers at a substantial profit, before settling on the Witwatersrand and becoming a naturalized Transvaal citizen in 1887. George Albu purchased the ailing Meyer and Charlton Mine, restructured it, and on 30 December 1895 he and his brother established General Mining and Finance Corporation. Naturalized as a UK citizen in 1911, he was created *1st Baronet Albu of Johannesburg* on 12 February 1912 --- at that time baronetcies were bestowed on a large number of Randlords. In 1911 Sir George Albu bought the Parktown mansion, Northwards, (designed by Herbert Baker in 1904) for £12,000 (Colonel John Dale Lace and wife Josephine, the previous owners, had paid £21 000 for the house). He held the office of Danish General Consul to Johannesburg in 1913 and was decorated with the Order of the Dannebrog.
In the 1960s and 1970s General Mining and Finance Corporation merged with Federale Mynbou and Union Corporation, became Gencor, then Billiton, then BHP Billiton, one of the largest mining houses in the world, with interests in Borneo, China, Australia, South America and South Africa. Together with Cecil John Rhodes, Barney Barnato, Alfred Beit and others, the Albu brothers belonged to the wealthy and influential Randlord set. He died in Johannesburg in 1935.

# Athletics at the 1986 Commonwealth Games
At the **1986 Commonwealth Games**, the **athletics** events were held at the Meadowbank Stadium in Edinburgh, Scotland. A total of 41 events were contested, of which 23 by male and 18 by female athletes.
The majority of African, Asian and Caribbean countries boycotted the event due to the United Kingdom\'s sporting links with apartheid-era South Africa. As a result, the medallists came from only seven nations, comprising the four constituent countries of the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. England easily topped the medal table with eighteen gold medals and 48 medals in total. Canada was second, with ten golds and 28 medals overall, while Australia took third place with nine golds and a total of 26 medals. The hosts Scotland won one gold and six medals while Northern Ireland (typically weak in the sport) had one of their best games, with one gold and four medals overall.

# Magnet (Nedor Comics)
The **Magnet** is a fictional character from the Golden Age of Comics. He first appeared in the *Complete Book of Comics and Funnies* #1 (1944), published by Nedor Comics. The character was later revived by writer Alan Moore for America\'s Best Comics.
## Nedor Comics {#nedor_comics}
The Magnet is the secret identity of Grant Halford, inventor of the Geo-Locator. The Geo-Locator allows him to track down villains and Nazis. His foes include the Crimson Conqueror, Aztec mummies and treasure-hunters.
After his debut in *Complete Book of Comics and Funnies*, the Magnet appeared in all four issues of *Mystery Comics* (1944). Both titles were discontinued due to the wartime paper shortage. No creator for the character was credited, but most of the art was supplied by Ed Good.
## America\'s Best Comics {#americas_best_comics}
Alan Moore revived the Magnet, along with many other Nedor Comics characters, for his *Tom Strong* series. For the revival, the Magnet was given a new backstory: sometime during World War II, the Magnet met and became friends with the time travelling Lance Lewis, Space Detective. Shortly after this the Magnet gained magnetic powers after the Geo-Locator exploded in his face.
Grant Halford was one of the members of SMASH that had been placed in suspended animation after an alien invasion from the Moon in 1969. Awakened 30 years later, Halford joined his former comrades in the fight against the alien. After SMASH disbanded, Halford and Lance opened \"The Magnet Detective Agency\". Three years later, Halford (his magnetic powers now unreliable) discovered that his partner had been killed by the supervillain Mystico (*Terra Obscura* vol. 1 #2, September 2003). Halford and the other members of SMASH defeated Mystico\'s plan to conquer the world. Halford has since married Betty Chance, widow of the Green Ghost

# Bhaktāmara Stotra
The ***Bhaktāmara Stotra*** (*lit=Hymn of an immortal devotee*) is a Jain religious hymn (*stotra*) written in Sanskrit. It was authored by Manatunga (7th century CE). The Digambaras believe it has 48 verses while Śvetāmbaras believe it consists of 44 verses.
The hymn praises Rishabhanatha, the first Tirthankara of Jainism in this time cycle.
## Authorship
*Bhaktāmara Stotra* was composed by Manatunga in 6th century CE. Shwetambar legends associate Manatunga with a ruler named Mihira Bhoja. However, Manatunga probably lived a few centuries before Bhoja. He is identified by some scholars as Kshapanaka, one of the Navaratnas in the court of legendary Vikramaditya. An unidentified Sanskrit poet Matanga, composer of *Brahaddeśī* on music theory, may also have been the same person.
*Bhaktāmara Stotra* was composed sometime in the Gupta or the post-Gupta period, making Manatunga approximately contemporary with other navaratnas like Kalidasa and Varahamihira. Several spots near Bhopal and Dhar are traditionally associated with Manatunga.
There are several legends presented by different Śvetāmbara monks. The most popular is the one depicted in *Prabandha Cintamani* written by *Acharya Merutungasuri* in 1305 AD. According to the legend, two scholars *Bana Pandit* and *Mayura Pandit* were members of king Bhoja\'s court. It is said that they made supra-human things possible by their *mantric powers*. To illustrate the statement, two examples are provided. Mayura Pandit worshipped the Sun God with a hymn he composed known as *Surya Sataka.* He got cured of leprosy that he was suffering from as a result of his sister\'s curse. He was blessed by Sun God when he composed the 6th verse. Envying him, Bana Pandit got his hands and legs chopped off and took it as a challenge to make Goddess Chandi bless him in 6 letters. He then composed *Candi Sataka* and his limbs regrew before he even recited the 6th letter. The king was pleased by both of them. Thereafter, the courtiers told the king that Śvetāmbara Jain Acharyas did not possess such *mantric powers* and that they must be banished from the kingdom. At that time, Acharya Manatungsuri was preaching Jainism in the region. He was called to the king\'s court and was challenged to prove the greatness of Tirthankaras or leave the kingdom otherwise. Acharya Manatungsuri replied \"our Lord, free from love and hatred as He is, does not perform miracles. However, his attendant demigods do.\" Thereafter, Manatungsuri got himself fettered in 44 chains and stood behind a *jinaalay (Jain Temple)* facing its rear side. He then composed the *Bhaktamara Stotra* and with every verse he composed, one fetter got cut off. By the time he completed all 44 verses, the temple turned around to face Acharya Manatungsuri. He stood face to face with the temple, with all the fetters cut off. This extraordinary spectacle established the *mantric powers* Śvetāmbara monks possessed. This account has been described in great detail in *Acharya Merutungasuri\'s* *Prabandh Cintamani.*
The hymn is recognised by both Digambara and Śvetāmbara sects of Jainism. The Digambaras recite 48 verses, while the Śvetāmbaras recite 44 verses. The latter believe 4 verses (verse 32, 33, 34, and 35 as in the 48-verse version) were added later and were called the interpolated verses. It is known that they do not dismiss reciting them. However, Śvetāmbaras believe that Manatungasuri composed only 44 verses and the rest of them were interpolated later. Therefore, Śvetāmbaras include them in the appendix.
The oldest surviving palm leaf manuscript (dated 1332 AD) that illustrates this stotra is found at the Patan Library. It only consists of 44 verses as believed by the Śvetāmbara Murtipujaks. Some scholars believe that it originally had 44 verses based on the fact that the Śvetāmbara sect always had more saints and scholars than their Digambara counterparts and that there is a greater probability of them having preserved the correct version.
## Structure
*Bhaktāmara Stotra* has 44 stanzas (Śvetāmbara belief) or 48 stanzas (Digambara belief). Every stanza has four parts. Every part has 14 letters. The complete panegyric is formed by 2464 (Śvetāmbara belief) or 2688 (Digambara belief) letters.
The *Bhaktāmara Stotra* is composed in the meter *vasantatilaka*. All the fourteen syllables of this meter are equally divided between short and long syllables i.e. seven laghu and seven gurus and this belongs to sakvari group of meters.
*Bhaktāmara Stotra* is recited as a *stotra* (prayer) or sung as a hymn, somewhat interchangeably.

# Bhaktāmara Stotra
## Influence
*Bhaktāmara Stotra* has influenced other Jain prayers, such as the *Kalyānamandira Stotra*, devoted to the twenty-third tirthankara, and the *Svayambhu Stotra*, devoted to all the twenty-four Tirthankaras. Additional verses here praise the omniscience of Adinatha.
*Bhaktāmara Stotra* is widely illustrated in paintings. A 1332 AD palm leaf manuscript of the stotra illustrating only the 44 verses (as believed by Śvetāmbaras) is well-preserved at the Patan library. It is considered to be the oldest surviving manuscript.
At the Sanghiji temple at Sanganer, there is a panel illustrating each verse. There is a temple at Bharuch with a section dedicated to the *Bhaktāmara Stotra* and its author Manatunga.
Devotees believe that the verses of *Bhaktāmara Stotra* possess magical properties, and associate a mystical diagram (*yantra*) with each verse.

**australia.gov.au** was the central website for the Australian Government, providing onwards links to department and agency websites. The address redirects to pm.gov.au, a political page. Australia no longer has a simple entry page to the structure of government. A complete listing of all government departments and agencies can be found at directory.gov.au. The original platform was owned and managed by the Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) on behalf of the federal government, and can also be used by federal and state and territory agencies as a link shortener.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Australian Government reappropriated the website as the \"Coronavirus response site\", moving existing content to **info.australia.gov.au** for the foreseeable future. Federal health and economic response campaigns all advertised the website, which also includes links to state and territory health department websites. This site is also now not available.
## History
In March 2006, australia.gov.au was awarded \"Best Government Site\" by *Australian NetGuide*.
The *Australian Financial Review* reported that efforts in 2017 to centralise all government websites australia.gov.au, similar to gov.uk, had faded after departments resisted moves to centralise government communications.
In March 2020 following the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia, the DTA changed australia.gov.au to become the \"central portal for citizens, companies and communities to get official information on COVID-19.\" On 22 March, the new \"Coronavirus response site\" was launched, including a symptom checker. Speaking to the *Australian Financial Review*, a government spokesperson said that all television, print, radio and digital campaigns related to the COVID-19 pandemic would advertise australia.gov.au. This move was made as the government announced a range of economic and safety measures, not appropriate for the Department of Health\'s website. A former senior official at the DTA described that the transformation of australia.gov.au was similar to that of New Zealand Government\'s COVID-19 portal.

# Icelandic tail-cap
The **Icelandic tail-cap** or **skotthúfa** is a typical part of the Icelandic national costume. Originally it was only worn by men, but starting in the 18th century women started to wear it along with the *peysa*, a men\'s jacket with a single row of buttons creating the proto-*peysuföt*. Later it was adopted for the bodice-dress (*upphlutsbúningur* ).
The men\'s version is usually striped, while the women\'s is almost always black. While the men\'s version was knitted from fairly coarse wool the women\'s version used a small string with a tassel made of fine wool and later sewed with velvet with a silk tassel (35 -- 38 cm.).
In the beginning of the 19th century, the tail-cap was rather deep, but from 1860 it was replaced by the modern, shorter version. The tassel and cap are connected with a tassel-cylinder (*skúfhólkur*) made of silver or gold. The cap is pinned in the hair by means of a black knitting-pin but if the woman wears plaits, the end of them are fastened under the cap in the neck with a typical cap-pin

***Bulldozer*** is the second EP by American punk rock band Big Black, released in 1983. It was their first release to feature an actual band performing, including Pat Byrne from Urge Overkill playing drums on some of the songs in addition to the Roland TR-606 drum machine that provided rhythm tracks on all of Big Black\'s records.
On *Bulldozer*, Big Black\'s founder and frontman Steve Albini achieved a signature \"clanky\" sound with his guitar by using metal guitar picks notched with sheet metal clips, creating the effect of two guitar picks at once. The *Bulldozer* EP was recorded with engineer Iain Burgess and released in December 1983, with the first two hundred copies packaged in a galvanized sheet metal sleeve in homage to Public Image Ltd.\'s *Metal Box*. Many of the EP\'s lyrics depicted scenarios drawn from Albini\'s rural upbringing, such as \"Cables\", which described the slaughtering of cows at a Montana abattoir, and \"Pigeon Kill\", about a rural Indiana town that dealt with an overpopulation of pigeons by feeding them poisoned corn. The EP\'s final song, \"Jump the Climb,\" was recorded by Albini before the addition of his bandmates.
Albini originally named the EP *Hey Nigger* because \"anyone stupid enough to be offended by that title is part of the problem\... It\'s better to be confrontational about things like this. Of course I think judging people by the color of their skin is absurd.\" However, his bandmates made him change the title.
*Bulldozer* was later compiled with Big Black\'s earlier six-song EP *Lungs* on the 1986 LP *The Hammer Party*. The CD version also included Big Black\'s follow-up EP, *Racer-X*.

# Society of Women Musicians
The **Society of Women Musicians** was a British group founded in 1911 for mutual cooperation between women composers and performers, in response to the limited professional opportunities for women musicians at the time. The founders included Katharine Emily Eggar, a composer, Marion Scott, a musicologist, and Gertrude Eaton, a singer. 37 women came to the first meeting, held on 11 July 1911 at the Women\'s Institute, 92 Victoria Street, including Rebecca Helferich Clarke, Alma Haas, and Liza Lehmann, who later became the group\'s first president.
The first concert was held on 25 January 1912 in the small room of Queen\'s Hall. Regular concerts followed at the same venue, at the Aeolian and Wigmore Halls, and (from 1920) at 74 Grosvenor Street. They featured premieres from women composers such as Ethel Barns, Rebecca Clarke, Katharine Eggar, Kalitha Dorothy Fox, Dorothy Howell, Liza Lehmann, Fiona McCleary (1900--1986), Marion Scott, Elna Sherman, and Ethel Smyth. In later years there were also premieres from Ruth Gipps, Elisabeth Lutyens, Elizabeth Maconchy and Elizabeth Poston.
The group had a number of influential musicians as presidents, including Cécile Chaminade, Astra Desmond, Alma Goatley, Myra Hess, Rosa Newmarch, Evelyn Suart and Elizabeth Poston. The post of vice-president was largely honorary, and was held by woman musicians such as Nadia Boulanger, Imogen Holst, Elisabeth Lutyens, Elizabeth Maconchy and Fanny Waterman.
Although the group was aimed at women, men were not excluded, and were included in the membership and attended conferences. Male members included Thomas Dunhill and Walter Willson Cobbett. Theodore Holland attended a concert of his recent songs held by the Society on 28 October 1947, the day before his death.
Activities included collecting a library, starting a choir and orchestra which gave public and private concerts of works by members of the Society, lectures, and a composers conference. The Society was also active in advocating for professional women musicians in symphony orchestras.
The Society disbanded in 1972, and its archives were given to the Royal College of Music

# Staurosporine
**Staurosporine** (antibiotic AM-2282 or STS) is a natural product originally isolated in 1977 from the bacterium *Streptomyces staurosporeus*. It was the first of over 50 alkaloids that were discovered to share this type of bis-indole chemical structure. The chemical structure of staurosporine was elucidated by X-ray crystalography in 1994.
Staurosporine was discovered to have biological activities ranging from anti-fungal to anti-hypertensive. The interest in these activities resulted in a large investigative effort in chemistry and biology and the discovery of the potential for anti-cancer treatment.
## Biological activities {#biological_activities}
The main biological activity of staurosporine is the inhibition of protein kinases through the prevention of ATP binding to the kinase. This is achieved through the stronger affinity of staurosporine to the ATP-binding site on the kinase. Staurosporine is a prototypical ATP-competitive kinase inhibitor in that it binds to many kinases with high affinity, though with little selectivity. Structural analysis of kinase pockets demonstrated that main chain atoms which are conserved in their relative positions to staurosporine contributes to staurosporine promiscuity. This lack of specificity has precluded its clinical use, but has made it a valuable research tool. In research, staurosporine is used to induce apoptosis. The mechanism of how it mediates this is not well understood. It has been found that one way in which staurosporine induces apoptosis is by activating caspase-3. At lower concentration, depending on the cell type, staurosporine induces specific cell cycle effects arresting cells either in G~1~ or in G~2~ phase of the cell cycle.
## Chemistry family {#chemistry_family}
Staurosporine is an indolocarbazole. It belongs to the most frequently isolated group of indolocarbazoles: Indolo(2,3-a)carbazoles. Of these, Staurosporine falls within the most common subgroup, called Indolo(2,3-a)pyrrole(3,4-c)carbazoles. These fall into two classes - halogenated (chlorinated) and non-halogenated. Halogenated indolo(2,3-a)pyrrole(3,4-c)carbazoles have a fully oxidized C-7 carbon with only one indole nitrogen containing a β-glycosidic bond, while non-halogenated indolo(2,3-a)pyrrole(3,4-c)carbazoles have both indole nitrogens glycosylated, and a fully reduced C-7 carbon. Staurosporine is in the non-halogenated class.
Staurosporine is the precursor of the novel protein kinase inhibitor midostaurin (PKC412). Besides midostaurin, staurosporine is also used as a starting material in the commercial synthesis of K252c (also called staurosporine aglycone). In the natural biosynthetic pathway, K252c is a precursor of staurosporine.
## Biosynthesis
The biosynthesis of staurosporine starts with the amino acid L-tryptophan in its zwitterionic form. Tryptophan is converted to an imine by enzyme StaO which is an L-amino acid oxidase (that may be FAD dependent). The imine is acted upon by StaD to form an uncharacterized intermediate proposed to be the dimerization product between 2 imine molecules. Chromopyrrolic acid is the molecule formed from this intermediate after the loss of VioE (used in the biosynthesis of violacein -- a natural product formed from a branch point in this pathway that also diverges to form rebeccamycin. An aryl aryl coupling thought to be catalyzed by a cytochrome P~450~ enzyme to form an aromatic ring system occurs.
This is followed by a nucleophilic attack between the indole nitrogens resulting in cyclization and then decarboxylation assisted by StaC exclusively forming staurosporine aglycone or K252c. Glucose is transformed to NTP-L-ristoamine by StaA/B/E/J/I/K which is then added on to the staurosporine aglycone at 1 indole N by StaG. The StaN enzyme reorients the sugar by attaching it to the 2nd indole nitrogen into an unfavored conformation to form intermediated O-demethyl-N-demethyl-staurosporine. Lastly, O-methylation of the 4\'amine by StaMA and N-methylation of the 3\'-hydroxy by StaMB leads to the formation of staurosporine.
## Research in preclinical use {#research_in_preclinical_use}
When encapsulated in liposome nanoparticle, staurosporine is shown to suppress tumors *in vivo* in a mouse model without the toxic side effects which have prohibited its use as an anti-cancer drug with high apoptotic activity. Researchers in UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center develop a platform technology of high drug-loading efficiency by manipulating the pH environment of the cells. When injected into the mouse glioblastoma model, staurosporine is found to accumulate primarily in the tumor via fluorescence confirmation, and the mice did not suffer weight loss compared to the control mice administered with the free compound, an indicator of reduced toxicity

# Reggie Collier
**Reginald C. Collier** (born May 14, 1961) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback. Best known as a dynamic college football star, he had a short-lived professional career in both the United States Football League (USFL) and National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Southern Miss Golden Eagles.
## Early life {#early_life}
Collier's grandparents didn\'t allow him to play football until his junior year in D\'Iberville High School, when he became a starter at quarterback, until breaking his collarbone after playing in three games (all of them wins).
As a senior, he guided his team to a perfect 13-0 record, while also playing safety on defense. He received MVP honors in the state\'s high school all-star game. He also practiced basketball.
## College career {#college_career}
Collier accepted a football scholarship from the University of Southern Mississippi under head coach Bobby Collins, who was using the veer offense and promised him that he could play quarterback. As a freshman, he was a backup behind Dane McDaniel.
He became a starter as a sophomore, leading the team to a 6-0 start, with victories over the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University (in back-to-back weeks) and the first Associated Press Top 25 ranking in the program history (No. 20 on October 21, 1980). The team beat McNeese State University 16-14 at the Independence Bowl, for the school\'s first bowl game win in history. He tallied 1,268 passing yards, 7 passing touchdowns, 464 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdowns.
As a junior in 1981, he had a season for the ages, when he became the first quarterback in NCAA Division I history to pass and rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season, posting 81 out of 139 attempts for 1,004 passing yards and had 153 carries for 1,005 rushing yards. He accomplished several noteworthy victories in school history, against Mississippi State University, Florida State University and tying the University of Alabama 13-13 at Legion Field in Birmingham, when he led the offense down the field for a dramatic game-tying field goal. He had a career-high 186 rushing yards against the University of Texas at Arlington. He finished with a 9-2-1 record, was ninth in the Heisman Trophy voting and helped the school achieve its highest Associated Press ranking ever (No. 9).
In 1982, Collins left and Jim Carmody took over the head coaching responsibilities. He changed the offense and the team struggled with a 7-4 record. Still Collier posted 1,265 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 803 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns. He also had a 38-29 historic win against Alabama, ending their 57-game winning streak at Bryant--Denny Stadium.
He finished his college career with 3,662 passing yards, 2,304 rushing yards on 446 carries, 5,977 yards of total offense (school record), 16 passing touchdowns and 26 rushing touchdowns.
In 2000, he was inducted into the USM Athletic Hall of Fame and was selected along with Brett Favre, to the Southern Miss Team of the Century. In 2008, his collegiate No. 10 Jersey was retired by Southern Miss and became one of three players in school history to have been given this honor. In 2008, he also was inducted into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame.

## Professional career {#professional_career}
### Birmingham Stallions {#birmingham_stallions}
Collier was selected by the Birmingham Stallions of the United States Football League in the first round (third overall) of the 1983 USFL Draft. He injured his hip in the season opener and started being platooned with Bob Lane. He suffered a season ending knee injury in the tenth game, after registering 5 starts, 604 passing yards, one touchdown, 253 rushing yards and 4 rushing touchdowns.
On January 12, 1984, the team signed quarterback Cliff Stoudt and traded Collier to the Washington Federals in exchange for a number one draft choice (#1 Jerry Rice) and the rights to center Joel Hilgenberg.
### Washington Federals / Orlando Renegades {#washington_federals_orlando_renegades}
In 1984, he was being platooned with Mike Hohensee during the pre-season, until he was relegated to the backup position after the opening game of the season.
In 1985, the team moved to Orlando and was renamed as the Orlando Renegades. The owner chose not to retain Howard Schnellenberger and asked Lee Corso to take over as the head coach. He would name Collier the starter at quarterback in the fifth game of the season, after being limited with a finger injury early in the year. He finished with a 5-13 record, 229 of 427 attempts for 2,578 passing yards, 606 rushing yards, 13 passing touchdowns, 12 rushing touchdowns (including 2 runs of 63 and 71 yards) and 16 interceptions. In the last six games, he passed for 8 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. He had his best passing game as a professional against the Tampa Bay Bandits, making 17 out of 30 passes for 214 yards, 3 touchdowns and one interception. Against the Jacksonville Bulls, he rushed for 171 yards and 4 touchdowns, setting pro football single-game rushing records for a quarterback.
In his USFL career, he recorded 358 out of 695 attempts for 4,151 passing yards, 20 passing touchdowns, 35 interceptions, 155 carries for 1,033 rushing yards, a 6.7 yard per carry average and 17 rushing touchdowns.
### Dallas Cowboys {#dallas_cowboys}
The Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League, gambling that the USFL was not going to last, acquired Collier\'s NFL rights by selecting him in the sixth round (162nd overall) of the 1983 NFL draft, even though he had already signed with the Washington Federals. On May 23, 1986, he signed a four-year contract, which was a transaction that was overshadowed by the acquisition of running back Herschel Walker.
Although he was considered as a \"raw\" player at the time, he was also seen as the prototype of the future NFL quarterback. In pre-season he was productive in his appearances, but could not move out of the third-string quarterback role. He was the first African American quarterback to make the Cowboys roster.
The team accommodated Collier expecting that he could develop and refine his skills, but it was perceived that he never practiced or prepared diligently enough.
On November 23, down 41-7 against the Washington Redskins, Collier was sent in the fourth quarter with 8 minutes to play, helped the offense score 7 points and ran out of time while looking for a possible second touchdown. In the season finale against the defending Super Bowl Champions the Chicago Bears, he became the first African American quarterback to start in franchise history. He had four turnovers (three came in his first three series) and was replaced with Steve Pelluer in the third quarter.
Collier played in four games in 1986, completing 8-15 passes for 96 yards and one touchdown. He was waived on June 17, 1987.
### Pittsburgh Steelers {#pittsburgh_steelers}
After the players went on a strike on the third week of the 1987 season, those games were canceled (reducing the 16 game season to 15) and the NFL decided that the games would be played with replacement players. Collier was signed to be a part of the Pittsburgh Steelers replacement team. He played in two games before being released after the strike was over on October 19.
### Orlando Predators {#orlando_predators}
In 1991, Collier was the first ever player signed by the Orlando Predators franchise of the Arena Football League. He passed for 1,312 yards, 21 touchdowns, 5 interceptions (a league low), before being replaced by future AFL Hall of Famer Ben Bennett, after being sacked 24 times (highest in the league). He was waived on April 14, 1992.
### Albany Firebirds {#albany_firebirds}
On April 13, 1993, He signed with the Albany Firebirds after being out of football for a year rehabbing a knee injury. On June 29, he was lost for the season with a knee injury.

# Destination Gobi
***Destination Gobi*** is a 1953 American Technicolor World War II film released by 20th Century-Fox. It was produced by Stanley Rubin, directed by Robert Wise (his first color feature film), and stars Richard Widmark and Don Taylor.
The film is about the Sino-American Cooperative Organization (SACO), referred to as Sino-American Combined Operations in the film.
Actor Ernest Borgnine has stated in interviews that he believed that this film, and Widmark\'s role of CPO Sam McHale, were the basis of the role of Quentin McHale in Borgnine\'s 1960\'s television show *McHale\'s Navy*.
## Plot
The film\'s foreword reads:
> In the Navy records in Washington, there is an obscure entry reading \"Saddles for Gobi.\" This film is based on the story behind that entry, one of the strangest stories of World War II.
The Navy created a meteorology command in order to provide accurate forecasts for operations in the Pacific War. Lt. Cmdr. Wyatt and CPO Sam McHale are detailed to the most remote station in the Gobi Desert deep inside Inner Mongolia. For McHale, who is fresh off a cruise on \"The Big E\" and itching to get back on the water, the desert is the last place he wants to be.
One evening, Mongolian nomads led by Kengtu set up camp at the station\'s oasis. Despite cultural differences, the two groups settle into an uneasy co-existence. Seaman Jenkins, an ex-cowboy, muses that the Mongols would make an excellent cavalry troop. Hoping to persuade the Mongols to join them against the Japanese, McHale requisitions 60 Army-issue saddles. They soon arrive and the Mongols appear delighted. Later, however, Japanese planes bomb and strafe the combined oasis camp, killing Wyatt and several Mongols. When the Mongols abandon the camp, the Americans, now alone and defenseless, begin to evacuate 800 miles east across the Gobi to the sea.
McHale and the men reach an oasis where Chinese traders are camped. There, they encounter Kengtu, who explains he abandoned the station to protect his people from the Japanese \"birds in the sky\". In return for his followers keeping their saddles, Kengtu offers to escort the Americans to the sea if they disguise themselves in Mongol dress. All goes well until they reach the Japanese-occupied city of Sangchien, China, where Kengtu leads McHale\'s unit into a trap where they are captured by Japanese soldiers, who transport them to a prisoner-of-war camp on China\'s coast. There, the officer in charge decides that because they are not in uniform, they will be treated as spies.
However, one of Kengtu\'s men, Wali-Akhun, allows himself to be arrested while wearing a stolen American uniform. Wali reveals to McHale and his men that Kengtu has arranged for their escape and gives them wire-cutters he smuggled in. That night, they break out and head for the docks, where Kengtu is waiting with a Chinese junk. The wily Kengtu explains to McHale that their capture was a ploy to get the Japanese to transport them to the ocean. They set sail for Okinawa and are later spotted by U.S. Navy patrol planes and rescued. McHale is awarded the Navy Cross, and Kengtu and Wali are flown in an admiral\'s transport plane to re-join their people. There, McHale and his men present the Mongols with 60 brand-new, navy blue saddle blankets emblazoned with the logo: \"The First U.S. Navy Mongolian Calvary\".

# Destination Gobi
## Production
The film is loosely based on actual events. The weather station in the Gobi was considered the \"crown jewel\" in the operation because it was in \"meteorologically uncharted territory\". Instead of the air strike by the Japanese depicted in the film, there was a skirmish 25 miles from the camp which helped to scare off the enemy. The story was dramatized by Edmund G. Love and published in *Collier\'s* September 6, 1952 issue.
Though most of the actors playing natives were American, some actual Mongolian phrases made their way into the film.
Gary Merrill, Richard Basehart, David Wayne, and William Lundigan were the actors that producers originally had in mind when the film was announced. The film was Robert Wise\'s first in color.
## Reception
In *The New York Times*, film critic A. H. Weiler wrote:
> Ever hear of the First Mongolian Cavalry, United States Navy; or the Sino-American Cooperative Organization or Argos VI in Inner Mongolia? Well, a group of artisans at Twentieth Century Fox have. And they have culled from this curiosa as exotic and amiable an adventure as any to have come out of World War II. Titled \"Destination Gobi,\" the Technicolored newcomer, now at the Globe, intriguingly parlays a willing cast, a fair share of laughs, crisp dialogue and unusual locale and some plausible and improbable derring-do into a light but engaging and engrossing entertainment

# Berle Adams
**Berle Adams** (born **Beryl Adasky**, 11 June 1917 -- 25 August 2009) was an American music industry executive and talent booking agent best known for co-founding Mercury Records in the 1940s and later becoming a senior executive at MCA.
## Early life {#early_life}
Adams was born in 1917 to immigrants from Russia on the West Side of Chicago, the son of Etta (née Block), a homemaker, and Jack Adasky, a milkman. His mother died when he was 18 months old. He went to Crane Technical High School. Adams became attracted to late night remote radio broadcasts of America\'s swing bands, including those of Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Charlie Barnet, Bob Crosby, Glenn Miller, and Benny Goodman. While still in high school, Adams began renting speaker systems and booking bands, school proms, weddings, men\'s and women\'s benevolent organizations, fire department and chamber of commerce socials.
## Early career {#early_career}
With support from established bandleader Al Trace, Adams briefly worked as a band booker. Adams left the music business temporarily, married his neighborhood sweetheart Lucy Leven, and began selling life insurance door-to-door. Insurance sales during the Depression proved unprofitable. Adams talked his way into a job for Varsity Records, promoting the tiny company\'s little-known artists for space on the city\'s jukeboxes against stars recording for industry giants like RCA Victor and Decca.
## GAC and Louis Jordan {#gac_and_louis_jordan}
Adams was hired by GAC, where he studied the one-night band booking practices of GAC\'s Joe Shribman and determined to become an agent. In one of his earliest efforts, he managed to introduce bandleader Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five to Chicago café lounges in May 1941. The Jordan association lasted nine years and solidly established the careers of both men.
Over the next few years, Adams represented clarinetist Jimmie Noone, saxophonists Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins, boogie woogie stylists Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson, Fats Waller, Art Tatum, and young saxophonist Illinois Jacquet. Adams booked road dates for Glenn Miller, Woody Herman, Charlie Spivak, Claude Thornhill, Nat King Cole, The Andrews Sisters, Joe Venuti, and Jimmy Dorsey. In 1943, Adams left GAC to become Jordan\'s personal manager and established the Berle Adams Agency.
## Mercury Records {#mercury_records}
In 1944, Adams established the Champagne Music and Preview Music publishing companies and the next year he formed the Mercury Radio and Television Company, which became Mercury Records, with partners Irving Green, Ray Greenberg, and Art Talmadge.
Mercury soon began recording Erroll Garner, Dinah Washington, Frances Langford, Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra, Tony Martin, and employing Mitch Miller and Norman Granz as producers.
In 1946, Mercury recorded Frankie Laine\'s version of the 1931 tune \"That\'s My Desire,\" and it became the singer\'s first hit. Other successes followed at Mercury, including Vic Damone\'s \"I Have But One Heart,\" which launched the singer\'s career.
## Movies and TV {#movies_and_tv}
In 1946, with Bud Pollard, Adams co-produced the Astor Pictures race film *Beware!*, starring Louis Jordan.
In 1947, Adams left Chicago for Los Angeles, for health reasons. He resigned from Mercury Records and moved with wife Lucy and their children, Helen and Richard. Adams soon became the booking agent for singer Kay Starr.
Adams was hired in 1950 by Lew Wasserman to join MCA, where he remained for 20 years. He began by booking for television and appearances in Las Vegas such stars as Jane Russell, Dinah Shore, Phil Harris, Jack Carson, and Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
Booking talent for local TV in Los Angeles led to assignments in network TV. Adams worked closely with Ralph Edwards (\"The Ralph Edwards Show\") in developing a creative packaging arrangement with NBC whereby the host talent---Edwards---formed a corporation and licensed a particular show with the network for a predetermined figure and paid the producer, director, and star guests, as well as all of the \"below-the-line\" or backstage personnel himself. The virtue of packaging lay in the creative control retained by the host and in tax advantages afforded corporations.
Adams\' chief responsibility for MCA became the packaging of new programs and negotiation of their contracts. In 1957 he went to Europe to create MCA\'s international TV division. He signed stand-up comic Bob Newhart, booked him into clubs, and soon sold \"The Bob Newhart Show\" to NBC. The show ran for only one year but won a Peabody Award and an Emmy nomination.

## Golden years at MCA {#golden_years_at_mca}
The 1960s was the decade of greatest creative energy and achievement in Adams\' career. He became the MCA agent for Jack Benny, Rosemary Clooney, Eddie Fisher, Dinah Shore, Bud Yorkin and Norman Lear, Andy Williams, Dorothy Dandridge, Canadian comedians Wayne and Shuster, Charles Laughton, and Alfred Hitchcock. He convinced Marlene Dietrich to star in a revue that would cross the country in 16 weeks.
He negotiated MCA\'s contract to represent the new American Football League and in 1963 helped long-time MCA colleague David A. (\"Sonny\") Werblin acquire the New York Titans franchise of the AFL from former announcer Harry Wismer. Werblin changed the team name to the New York Jets, two years later drafted Joe Namath out of the University of Alabama, and the Jets were on their way to the Super Bowl. A lifelong sports fan, Adams one day was attracted by the sight of a golfer on TV who seemed to be a natural showman. Working through pioneer sports agent and attorney Mark McCormack, Adams signed Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus for a weekly one-hour nationally broadcast *Challenge Golf* show.
In 1962, after MCA purchased Decca Records, which owned Universal Pictures, he left the talent agency business for film and television production and distribution. Wasserman asked Adams, now an MCA vice-president, to streamline the film studio\'s 30 distribution offices around the world in the interest of economy. Adams visited each of the domestic and foreign offices and successfully reduced the number of offices to eight.
Adams negotiated the purchase of Leeds Music, and established a new MCA music company, UNI Records. UNI Records signed The Who, Neil Diamond, Elton John, and Olivia Newton-John to recording contracts. In England, under MCA\'s Decca label, Adams and MCA colleague Brian Brolly signed Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to record the score of their early hit *Jesus Christ Superstar*.
Adams convinced Ethel Merman, Danny Kaye, Gene Kelly, and Fred Astaire each to appear in television specials. *An Evening with Fred Astaire* (1958) won nine Emmy Awards.
In October 1969, Adams, by now executive vice-president of MCA and second in company earnings only to Wasserman, found himself at the center of an internal power struggle within the company. Lew Wasserman urged \"voluntary retirement\", the magnate\'s euphemism for dismissal. Adams\' 20-year career with MCA ended formally in early 1971.

# O Florida, Venereal Soil
\"**O Florida, Venereal Soil**\" is a poem from Wallace Stevens\'s first book of poetry, *Harmonium*. It was first published in the journal *Dial*, volume 73, July 1922, and is therefore in the public domain. `{{quote box|bgcolor=lightyellow
|title = O Florida, Venereal Soil
|quote = <poem>
A few things for themselves,
Convolvulus and coral,
Buzzards and live-moss,
Tiestas from the keys,
A few things for themselves,
Florida, venereal soil,
Disclose to the lover.
The dreadful sundry of this world,
The Cuban, Polodowsky,
The Mexican women,
The negro undertaker
Killing the time between corpses
Fishing for crayfish...
Virgin of boorish births,
Swiftly in the nights,
In the porches of Key West,
Behind the bougainvilleas,
After the guitar is asleep,
Lasciviously as the wind,
You come tormenting,
Insatiable,
When you might sit,
A scholar of darkness,
Sequestered over the sea,
Wearing a clear tiara
Of red and blue and red,
Sparkling, solitary, still,
In the high sea-shadow.
Donna, donna, dark,
Stooping in indigo gown
And cloudy constellations,
Conceal yourself or disclose
Fewest things to the lover ---
A hand that bears a thick-leaved fruit,
A pungent bloom against your shade.
</poem>}}`{=mediawiki} Buttel interprets the poem as continuous with Baudelaire\'s sense of the opposition between the corruptibility of the flesh and the perfection of an ideal world. The \"few things for themselves\" that Stevens lists in the first stanza are not philosophical generics like Aristotle\'s conception of what\'s worth doing for its own sake (philosophy) or Hobbes\'s list of appetitive desires that motivate all human beings. Stevens\'s list rather is highly specific and opaque to the reader whose imagination may not be piqued by buzzards, etc. One has to look beyond this opacity to whatever piques one\'s imagination, however quirky that may be to others. The same holds true for the \"dreadful sundry of this world\" listed in the second stanza. The poem is about Stevens\'s subjective response to Florida, and he doesn\'t do any generalizing so as to share an abstract content with the reader.
The word \"venereal\" refers to Venus, not to the sexual disease, as in Milton\'s \"venereal trains\" (Milton, *Samson Agonistes*, 533). She sometimes carries symbolically fertile fruit in her hand.
However much the poet may be distracted by lascivious particulars, he does indeed want particulars: A hand that bears a thick-leaved fruit, A pungent bloom against donna\'s shade. This insistence on particularity is a familiar theme in Stevens. (See his treatment of beauty in \"Peter Quince at the Clavier\", for example.) Bates reads the poem as Stevens\'s wish that Florida \"were less the harlot and more the sequestered inamorata\". (His donna may be compared to the princess of the sea in \"Infanta Marina\".)
Buttel classifies it as one of the later poems in *Harmonium*, displaying \"an extravagance of conception and an energy of language and tone that approach the violences of imagination that Stevens sought but had not found in the earlier poems.\" He credits these later poems with establishing \"an over-all development\" in the book

# Nancy Storace
**Anna** (or **Ann**) **Selina Storace** (`{{IPA|it|stoˈratʃe|lang}}`{=mediawiki}; 27 October 1765`{{snd}}`{=mediawiki}24 August 1817), known professionally as **Nancy Storace**, was an English operatic soprano. The role of Susanna in Mozart\'s *Le nozze di Figaro* was written for and first performed by her.
Born in London, she began her singing career as a child prodigy in England by the age of 12. This led to further study in Italy and to a successful singing career there during the late 1770s. While in Monza (or shortly before in Milan) in 1782, she was recruited to form part of Emperor Joseph II\'s new Italian opera company in Vienna, where the assembled singers who joined her \"created in the two years leading up to the premiere of *The Marriage of Figaro*, were welded into the finest buffa ensemble anywhere.\"
In Vienna, she befriended both Mozart and Joseph Haydn. A sudden failure of her voice in 1785 caused her to withdraw from the stage for five months; though her career continued to be successful, she never fully recovered her former vocal prowess. After marrying in 1784, she left Vienna in 1787 and returned to London, where she continued her career, notably singing in her brother Stephen Storace\'s operas. She remained in London, but by 1808 had retired from the stage. She died in 1817.
## Ancestry and childhood {#ancestry_and_childhood}
Nancy Storace\'s mother was Elizabeth Trusler, the daughter of a pastry cook and the proprietor of Marylebone Gardens. Her father was Stefano Storace, an Italian who had emigrated to Ireland in 1750 and worked there as a double bass player until 1756. By 1759 he was performing in London; a reviewer called him \"the first performer of his time on the double-bass\". Storace also translated opera libretti from Italian into English, and arranged music for performance. Their older child Stephen Storace, who also achieved fame as a musician, was born in 1762.
Nancy Storace was born 1765 in London. She was a child prodigy: she first performed in public in Southampton in 1773; in April 1774 she made her first London appearance at the Haymarket Theatre. She studied voice with the celebrated castrato Venanzio Rauzzini and premiered the role of Cupido in Rauzzini\'s opera *L\'ali d\'amore* on 29 February 1776.

## Italy
In 1778, Storace travelled to Naples in the company of her parents; her older brother Stephen was already there studying composition. She studied in Venice under Antonio Sacchini. The visit to Italy became an extended one as Storace embarked on a very successful career there, singing at first minor roles, then major ones. The composer Giuseppe Sarti wrote his opera *Fra i due litiganti il terzo gode* (1782, Milan) specifically for her; it achieved great success. shortly afterwards, Storace was recruited for Vienna along with the outstanding *basso buffo* Francesco Benucci. Storace as the *prima donna* and Benucci, who was also singing with her, were offered high salaries, over 4000 florins.
While in Italy, Storace met the Irish tenor Michael Kelly, who was for a long time her colleague as well as a friend. Kelly mentions her frequently in his memoirs.
The skill and self-confidence of the young soprano is illustrated by an oft-repeated anecdote told by Kelly:
: She was very well liked, and afterword went to Florence, where the celebrated soprano singer, Marchesi, \[a castrato\] was engaged at the Pergola theatre. He was then in his prime, and attracted not only all Florence, but I may say all Tuscany. Storace was engaged to sing second woman in his operas; and to the following circumstance, well known all over the Continent, did she owe her sudden elevation in her profession. Bianchi had composed the celebrated cavatina \'*Semianza amabile del mio bel sole*\', which Marchesi sung with the most ravishing taste; in one passage he ran up a voletta of semitone octaves, the last of which he gave with such exquisite power and strength, that it was ever after called \'*La Bomba di Marchesi!*\' Immediately after this song, Storace had to sing one, and was determined to bring a bomba into the field also. She attempted it, and executed it, to the admiration and astonishment of the audience, but to the dismay of poor Marchesi. Campigli, the manager, requested her to discontinue it, but she peremptorily refused, saying that she had as good a right to shew the power of her bomba as any body else. The contention was brought to a close by Marchesi\'s declaring that if she did not leave the company, *he* would; and unjust as it was, the manager was obliged to dismiss her, and engage another lady, who was not so ambitious of exhibiting a bomba.
Goldovsky suggests that in such exploits Storace was \"planting the seeds\" of later vocal trouble:
: As any singing teacher will tell you, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl sustaining extremely high tones \"with exquisite power and strength\" is likely, sooner or later, to injure her vocal cords.

## Vienna
In 1783 the Austrian Emperor Joseph II founded a new opera company specialising in Italian opera buffa. At the time Storace was singing at the Teatro San Samuele in Venice. Count Giacomo Durazzo, who was both an experienced former theatre director and the Emperor\'s ambassador, engaged Michael Kelly, as he states in his *Reminiscences*. With further recruitment like the librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte an outstanding ensemble was formed.
### Vienna performances {#vienna_performances}
According to Dorothea Link, Storace performed in about 20 operas during her stay in Vienna. She sang in several world premieres in 1780s, including Susanna in Mozart\'s *Le nozze di Figaro* (with Benucci in the title role), the Countess in Salieri\'s *La scuola de\' gelosi* (also with Benucci) and Angelica in Vicente Martín y Soler\'s *Il burbero di buon cuore*.
Storace seems often to have made a powerful impression on audience members. Hunter describes and quotes the diary of Count Karl von Zinzendorf, a government official who regularly attended the theater in Storace\'s time:
: \[His\] 1783 comments about Nancy Storace as Dorina in *Fra i due litiganti* seem astonishingly unguarded: \"Storace played \[the role\] like an angel. Her beautiful eyes, her white neck, her beautiful throat, her fresh mouth, made a charming effect.\" His 1787 comments on the duet, \"Pace, caro mio sposo,\" in *Una cosa rara* suggest comparable enthusiasm for the music Storace sang: \"I find the duo between Mandini and Storace so tender and so expressive that it poses a danger to the young members of the audience. One needs to have had some experience in order to see it with a cool head\".
After Storace left Vienna in 1787, Zinzendorf\'s diary entries repeatedly express regret that later sopranos could not live up to her performances.
The Hungarian poet Ferenc Kazinczy attended a performance of *The Marriage of Figaro* and later remembered the powerful impression the work made on him, mentioning Storace in particular:
: Storace, the beautiful singer, enchanted eye, ear, and soul. -- Mozart directed the orchestra, playing his fortepiano; the joy which this music causes is so far removed from all sensuality that one cannot speak of it. Where could words be found that are worthy to describe such joy?
### Friendships with Haydn and Mozart {#friendships_with_haydn_and_mozart}
Storace was on friendly terms with both Mozart and Joseph Haydn. Mozart had been living and working in Vienna since 1781; Haydn enjoyed his visits to Vienna but was compelled by his employment with Prince Nikolaus Esterházy to spend most of his time at Esterháza, Hungary, and Eisenstadt, Austria.
Storace sang in Haydn\'s oratorio *Il ritorno di Tobia* in March 1784. Haydn later visited Storace with her brother Stephen in their home and played chamber music. He also wrote a cantata \"for the voice of my dear Storace\", thought to be *Miseri noi*, H. XXIVa.
Storace would have worked closely with Mozart on *The Marriage of Figaro*, which premiered in Vienna on 1 May 1786; it is possible that her lively acting style was the inspiration for the central character of Susanna. Mozart evidently made on-the-spot changes to the vocal part in response to Storace\'s special needs. Author `{{Interlanguage link multi|Piero Melograni|it}}`{=mediawiki}, expanding on earlier claims of musicologist Alfred Einstein, suggested that Mozart and Storace may have had a love affair.
When she was about to leave Vienna, Storace performed in a farewell concert on 23 February 1787. For this occasion Mozart wrote the concert recitative and aria \"Ch\'io mi scordi di te? \[\...\] Non temer, amato bene\" for her. The work, which is headed \"Recitativo con Rondò. Composto per la Sigra: storace */* dal suo servo ed amico W: A: Mozart. */* viena li 26 */* di decbr: 786\", is a duet for soprano and piano with orchestra which, in view of Mozart\'s note in his own thematic catalogue (\"Scena con Rondò mit klavierSolo. für Mad:selle storace und mich.\"), was very likely performed by her, with Mozart himself playing the piano part, at her farewell concert. In 2011 the British composer Peter Seabourne was commissioned by Staatsorchester Rheinische Philharmonie to write an orchestral work *Tu Sospiri* taking words from this concert aria as a starting point.

### Failure of her voice {#failure_of_her_voice}
On 1 June 1785, Storace suffered a catastrophic failure of her voice during a performance of her brother\'s opera *Gli sposi malcontenti* (\"The unhappily married couple\"). Kelly describes the event in his memoirs:
: A new opera, composed by Stephen Storace, was produced \... Signora Storace and myself had the two principal parts in it. In the middle of the first act, Storace all at once lost her voice, and could not utter a sound during the whole of the performance; this naturally threw a damp over the audience, as well as the performers. The loss of the first female singer, who was a great and deserved favourite, was to the composer, her brother, a severe blow. I never shall forget her despair and disappointment, but she was not then prepared for the extent of her misfortune, for she did not recover her voice sufficiently to appear on stage for five months.
In Autumn 1785 Mozart collaborated with Antonio Salieri (in whose operas Storace also performed) and an unknown composer, Cornetti, on a short cantata entitled *Per la ricuperata salute di Ofelia*, celebrating Storace\'s return to the stage. The cantata was believed to be lost until its discovery in November 2015 by musicologist and composer Timo Jouko Herrmann while doing research on Salieri in the collections of the Czech Museum of Music.
Even after the five months absence was over, Storace\'s voice was apparently far from fully recovered. Goldovsky recounts the subterfuges that both Salieri and Mozart engaged in to make it possible for the recovering soprano to take major roles in their operas; Mozart in particular rewrote passages of *The Marriage of Figaro* at lower pitch to help Storace get through her performances. Modern performances use the pitch values assigned by Mozart to later sopranos in the Prague and Vienna revival performances.
## England
In 1787 she returned to England, where she first appeared at the King\'s Theatre in London that year. In fact, she hoped to return to Vienna for the 1788 Easter season, but the Emperor\'s opera budget would no longer permit it, as he had embarked on an expensive war with Turkey.
She contributed greatly to the success of her brother Stephen Storace\'s operas, including *The Haunted Tower* and *The Siege of Belgrade*, and she also appeared at the Handel Commemoration in Westminster Abbey in 1791 and numerous concerts.
In 1791, Joseph Haydn arrived in London on the first of his two visits there, during which he achieved wealth and fame and for which composed his twelve London symphonies. Storace resumed her friendship and collaboration with Haydn at this time. She appeared in the first two of the Salomon concerts that featured Haydn\'s music. She also sang in the ninth and eleventh concerts as well as in the benefit concert for Haydn, and in the concert that celebrated the awarding of an honorary doctorate to Haydn by the University of Oxford. She also performed in concerts with Haydn during his second visit in 1794/1795.

# Nancy Storace
## Personal life {#personal_life}
On 29 March 1784, Storace was married to John Abraham Fisher, a 40-year-old composer and violinist. The marriage went badly, as Fisher abused and may have beaten her. In his memoirs Michael Kelly, who was Storace\'s friend, wrote \"it was said he had a very striking way of enforcing his opinion.\" Word of this got to the Emperor, who was heavily involved in running his opera company, and he ordered Fisher to leave Vienna. Fisher complied, moving to Ireland. Storace was pregnant with a child which was born on 30 January 1785; this daughter, Josepha Fisher, died on 17 July 1785.
At a time when a divorce required an Act of Parliament, Storace remained married to Fisher, although separated from him, until his death in 1806, so could not have married again before that.
By 1796, Storace had begun a long liaison with the tenor John Braham, although they never married. Rumors about their affair first appeared in the English newspapers in May 1796. Their break-up in 1815 was acrimonious and may have contributed to Storace\'s sudden death the following year; at any rate their son, William Spencer Harris Braham, certainly believed it had. Spencer, who had become an Anglican clergyman and a minor canon of Canterbury Cathedral, years later sought and obtained leave from Queen Victoria to change his family name to Meadows, his petition having been received on the ground that his wife was the sole heir of her maternal grandfather of that name.
In Storace\'s will, bequeathing property to the amount of £50,000, she styled herself a \"spinster\", although in the eyes of the law she died a widow. She was survived by her son and her widowed mother.
Storace is buried at St Mary-at-Lambeth (now the Garden Museum), where there is a commemorative plaque.
## Assessment
Matthews (1969) writes: \"Even after her great success in Vienna and her subsequent popularity on the English stage, her voice was said to have had a sort of twang, and it was her vivacity and gift for comedy which made her reputation

**Waddon Marsh railway station** was in Waddon in the London Borough of Croydon on the West Croydon to Wimbledon Line. It was between `{{rws|West Croydon}}`{=mediawiki} and Beddington Lane Halt stations. There was pedestrian access by footpath only from Miller Road a side street near Purley Way.
## History
It was opened by the Southern Railway on 6 July 1930 to serve new housing in Waddon, and Croydon Gas Works, and Croydon A & B Power Stations. An island platform accessed by a footbridge served two through tracks. Two other tracks at the station were sidings for the gas works and power stations. Services were westbound to Wimbledon through Mitcham Junction, and eastbound to West Croydon.
Originally named *Waddon Marsh Halt*, the station was renamed *Waddon Marsh* on 5 May 1969.
The closure of Croydon A power station had little effect on the passenger numbers but when Croydon B power station shut in 1976 passenger use fell greatly. Platform 2 was taken out of use in 1984 leaving one left in use. The footbridge was demolished and access was by a long footpath. The station and the rest of the line were closed in 1997 for the Croydon Tramlink scheme. Waddon Marsh tram stop of Tramlink was built about 100 yards south of the site of the station.
Nothing of the original station remains, the footpath that led to the station gives access to the Tramlink Stop

# Hovgaard Island (Antarctica)
**Hovgaard Island** (65 8 S 64 8 W type:isle_source:GNIS name=Hovgaard Island) is an island 3 nmi long, lying 1.5 nmi southwest of Booth Island in the Wilhelm Archipelago, Antarctica. `{{TOC limit|2}}`{=mediawiki}
## Location
Hovgaard Island is off the Graham Coast of the northwest side of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is in the Wilhelm Archipelago. It is southwest of Booth Island, northwest of Mount Shackleton on the mainland, northeast of the French Passage and east of the Vedel Islands. It is off the northwest coast of the Kyiv Peninsula.
Hovgaard Island is a popular location for camping in Antarctica among expedition groups due to the presence of a relatively flat campsite along Penola Strait. Campers dig \"snow graves\" to sleep in. The holes offer protection from the wind.
## Discovery and name {#discovery_and_name}
Hovgaard Island was discovered and named Krogmann Island by the German 1873--74 expedition under Eduard Dallmann, but the name Hovgaard applied by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (BelgAE), 1897--99, under Adrien de Gerlache, has overtaken the original name in usage. Andreas Peter Hovgaard was a polar explorer and officer of the Danish Navy. The name Krogmann Point has been given to the western extremity of Hovgaard Island.
## Sailing directions {#sailing_directions}
The US Defense Mapping Agency\'s *Sailing Directions for Antarctica* (1976) describes Hovgaard Island as follows:
## Features
Features and nearby features include:
### Guéguen Point {#guéguen_point}
. Point forming the south end of Hovgaard Island, in the Wilhelm Archipelago. Charted and named by the French Antarctic Expedition (FrAE) under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, 1903--05, after J. Guéguen Point, one of the crew the ship *Francais* and later, of the *Pourquoi-Pas?*, 1908-10.
### Krogmann Point {#krogmann_point}
. Point forming the west extremity of Hovgaard Island. Hovgaard Island was first seen by a German expedition under Dallmann in January 1874 and named \"Krogmann Insel.\" However, the name Hovgaard, applied by the BelgAE under Gerlache in February 1898, has overtaken the original in usage. To preserve Dallmann\'s earlier name in this vicinity, Krogmann Point has been approved for the feature here described.
### Pléneau Island {#pléneau_island}
. An island, 0.8 nmi long, lying just northeast of Hovgaard Island. Charted as a peninsula of Hovgaard Island by the FrAE, 1903--05, under Charcot, who named its northeast point for Paul Pléneau, photographer of the expedition. The feature was first shown to be an island on an Argentine government chart of 1957.
### Penola Strait {#penola_strait}
. A strait 11 nmi long and averaging 2 nmi wide, separating the Argentine Islands, Petermann Island and Hovgaard Island from the west coast of Graham Land. Traversed by the BelgAE under Gerlache on February 12, 1898. Named by the British Graham Land expedition (BGLE} 1934-37, under John Rymill, for the expedition ship *Penola*.

# Richardson Professor of Applied Mathematics
The **Richardson Chair of Applied Mathematics** is an endowed professorial position in the School of Mathematics, University of Manchester, England. The chair was founded by an endowment of £3,600 from one John Richardson, in 1890. The endowment was originally used to support the Richardson Lectureship in Mathematics. One holder of the Richardson Lectureship was John Edensor Littlewood (1907--1910). The position lapsed in 1918, but was resurrected as a lectureship in Pure Mathematics between 1935 and 1944. There was then a further hiatus until the establishment of the Richardson Chair of Applied Mathematics in 1998. The current holder (since 1998) is Nicholas Higham.
A complete list of Richardson Lecturers and Professors is as follows:
- F. T. Swanwick (1891--1907) Lecturer in Mathematics
- J. E. Littlewood (1907--1910) Lecturer in Mathematics
- H. R. Hasse (1910--1912) Lecturer in Mathematics
- W. D. Evans (1912--1918) Lecturer in Mathematics
- W. N. Bailey (1935--1944) Lecturer in Pure Mathematics
- N. J. Higham (1998-- ) Professor of Applied Mathematics
The School of Mathematics has three other endowed chairs, the others being the Beyer Chair, the Fielden Chair of Pure Mathematics and the Sir Horace Lamb Chair

# Sud-Ouest Bretagne
The **Sud-Ouest S.O.30 Bretagne** was a 1940s French airliner built by Sud-Ouest.
## Design and development {#design_and_development}
The **Bretagne** (Engl. \"Brittany\") was designed by a group of designers and engineers who were based at Cannes from May 1941 following the invasion of France. The design was for a medium capacity civil transport, a twin-engined mid-wing cantilever all-metal monoplane. The prototype (designated the **S.O.30N**) first flew on 26 February 1945.
## Operational history {#operational_history}
The initial production version was designated the **S.O.30P Bretagne** with two versions with different engines. The aircraft operated with a crew of five and could carry between 30 and 43 passengers. A cargo version (the **S.O.30C**) was produced, with a revised interior and strengthened floor and large cargo door. The aircraft was operated as an airliner, but mainly by the French military forces as a medium transport.
Some aircraft were fitted with two underwing Turbomeca Palas turbojet engines for auxiliary power. Other aircraft were used for engine-trials fitted with the SNECMA Atar 101 and licence-built Rolls-Royce Nene turbojets.
## Variants
S.O.30N: Tailwheel undercarriage prototype, c/n 01 built after the 1940 armistice and stored till after the war. The second S.O.30R c/n 02 was built in 1946 and later converted to the S.O.30 Nene, jet powered airliner test-bed.\
S.O.30R Bellatrix: Two prototypes of the nosewheel undercarriage production model.\
S.O.30C:cargo version, one built with belly loading hatches.\

# Eurosia
**Eurosia** (or **Orosia**) is the patron saint of Jaca, a city in the province of Huesca of northeastern Spain, in the Pyrenees, the centre of her cult.
## In Spain {#in_spain}
The \"Fiesta de Santa Orosia\" is celebrated on 25 June. Tradition states that she was born in Bayonne (or perhaps Bohemia) and died in 880, martyred by the Moors at Jaca.
Her legend states that she was of noble birth and promised to a Moor in an arranged marriage. Eurosia escaped and hid in a cave. Unfortunately, the smoke from her fire led to her capture. She was dragged from the cave by her hair and martyred. Devotion to St. Eurosia spread into northern Italy during the Middle Ages.
## Eurosia as Bohemian princess {#eurosia_as_bohemian_princess}
According to an alternate tradition, she was born *Dobroslava* into the ducal family of Bohemia in 864. When orphaned, Dobroslava was adopted by the succeeding duke, Borivoj I. Borivoj\'s wife was Saint Ludmila, who converted her adoptive daughter to the Christian faith. Borivoj was deposed by pagans, but restored thanks to the efforts of Saint Methodius. In 880, Methodius was ordered by Pope John VIII to find a worthy spouse for the son of the king of Pamplona, Prince Fortún; this son was heir to the throne of Aragon and Navarre, and would be a critical player in the fight against the Moors in Spain.
Eurosia, now sixteen years old, was considered a good candidate and was brought to Spain in 880. As she crossed the Pyrenees, she planned to meet her future spouse at Jaca. However, this area had become a war zone. A Moorish captain named Aben Lupo planned to wed Eurosia for himself and attacked the Bohemian party. However, thanks to the bravery of Eurosia\'s escort, the young bride-to-be managed to escape through the mountains. She was pursued and eventually caught. Eurosia invoked the heavens and a lightning bolt hit the ground near her captors. She was quickly executed, her limbs were amputated and she was beheaded. After she was beheaded, a storm came, terrorizing her tormentors.
## Veneration
A shepherd of Yebra de Basa is said to have discovered her relics in the 11th century thanks to an apparition of the Virgin Mary that identified their resting place. Her head remained at the original simple shrine, while Sancho Ramírez, recognizing the importance of Eurosia\'s relics, brought her body to Jaca, which he had designated the capital of his kingdom of Aragon. Drawing pilgrims to his city, he shifted the traditional route of the Way of St. James, which had followed the Roman military route of the Puerto del Palo by the Monastery of San Pedro de Siresa to Berdún. He established a route through Somport and Jaca, to bring traffic through his city, reinforced by publicized miracles at the urban shrine that was now on the direct route of the *Camino de Santiago*.
There is a chapel dedicated to her in La Seo Cathedral, Zaragoza.
Her cult spread throughout Béarn and northern Italy thanks to the subsequent campaigns of the Spanish realm in those regions.
It is unclear when Eurosia became patroness of the demonically possessed. Until 1947, when the bishop of Jaca prohibited the practice, those who were afflicted with possession were brought together in a procession and followed an urn carrying her relics

# Auto sear
An **auto sear** (\"automatic sear\") is a part of an automatic firearm that holds the hammer in the cocked position while the bolt of the weapon is cycling and releases the hammer/striker. It is basically an internal trigger actuated by the bolt/bolt carrier when placed in-battery. An auto sear is required in nearly every automatic rifle.
An auto sear allows a semi-automatic gun to be converted into one capable of automatic firing with a single, continuous pull of the trigger. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives designated any firearm capable of firing more than one round with a single operation of the trigger mechanism as a \"machine gun\", and the possession of such devices is illegal under United States federal law if the person in possession does not have the required licensing

# Beddington Lane railway station
**Beddington Lane railway station** was a single-platform station on the West Croydon to Wimbledon Line. Situated in a semi-rural location, the nearest major settlements were Beddington and Mitcham.
## History
After the Surrey Iron Railway went out of business in 1846, a new railway was built on the line by the Wimbledon and Croydon Railway, which opened the station on 22 October 1855. It was originally named *Beddington* but was renamed in January 1887 to *Beddington Lane*. In 1919 it became *Beddington Lane Halt*, but reverted to *Beddington Lane* on 5 May 1969.
The station closed with the line after the last train ran on 31 May 1997. Beddington Lane tram stop was built on the site

# Phenylboronic acid
**Phenylboronic acid** or **benzeneboronic acid**, abbreviated as PhB(OH)~2~ where Ph is the phenyl group C~6~H~5~- and B(OH)~2~ is a boronic acid containing a phenyl substituent and two hydroxyl groups attached to boron. Phenylboronic acid is a white powder and is commonly used in organic synthesis. Boronic acids are mild Lewis acids which are generally stable and easy to handle, making them important to organic synthesis.
## Properties
Phenylboronic acid is soluble in most polar organic solvents and is poorly soluble in hexanes and carbon tetrachloride. This planar compound has idealized C~2V~ molecular symmetry. The boron atom is sp^2^-hybridized and contains an empty p-orbital. The orthorhombic crystals use hydrogen bonding to form units made up of two molecules. These dimeric units are combined to give an extended hydrogen-bonded network. The molecule is planar with a minor bend around the C-B bond of 6.6° and 21.4° for the two PhB(OH)~2~ molecules.
## Synthesis
Numerous methods exist to synthesize phenylboronic acid. One of the most common synthesis uses phenylmagnesium bromide and trimethyl borate to form the ester PhB(OMe)~2~, which is then hydrolyzed to the product.
: PhMgBr + B(OMe)~3~ → PhB(OMe)~2~ + MeOMgBr
: PhB(OMe)~2~ + H~2~O → PhB(OH)~2~ + MeOH
Other routes to phenylboronic acid involve electrophilic borates to trap phenylmetal intermediates from phenyl halides or from directed ortho-metalation. Phenylsilanes and phenylstannanes transmetalate with BBr~3~, followed by hydrolysis form phenylboronic acid. Aryl halides or triflates can be coupled with diboronyl reagents using transition metal catalysts. Aromatic C-H functionalization can also be done using transition metal catalysts.
## Reactions
The dehydration of boronic acids gives boroxines, the trimeric anhydrides of phenylboronic acid. The dehydration reaction is driven thermally, sometimes with a dehydration agent.
Phenylboronic acid participates in numerous cross coupling reactions where it serves as a source of a phenyl group. One example is the Suzuki reaction where, in the presence of a Pd(0) catalyst and base, phenylboronic acid and vinyl halides are coupled to produce phenyl alkenes. This method was generalized to a route producing biaryls by coupling phenylboronic acid with aryl halides.
C-C bond forming processes commonly use phenylboronic acid as a reagent. Alpha-amino acids can be generated using the uncatalyzed reaction between alpha-ketoacids, amines, and phenylboronic acid. Heck-type cross coupling of phenylboronic acid and alkenes and alkynes has been demonstrated.
Aryl azides and nitroaromatics can also be generated from phenylboronic acid. Phenylboronic acid can also be regioselectively halodeboronated using aqueous bromine, chlorine, or iodine:
: PhB(OH)~2~ + Br~2~ + H~2~O → PhBr + B(OH)~3~ + HBr
Boronic esters result from the condensation of boronic acids with alcohols. This transformation is simply the replacement of the hydroxyl group by alkoxy or aryloxy groups. This reversible reaction is commonly driven to product by the use of Dean-Stark apparatus or a dehydration agent to remove water.
: PhB(OH)~2~ + 2 ROH `{{eqm}}`{=mediawiki} PhB(OR)~2~ + 2 H~2~O
As an extension of this reactivity, PhB(OH)~2~ can be used as a protecting group for diols and diamines. This reactivity is the basis of the use of phenylboronic acid\'s use as a receptor and sensor for carbohydrates, antimicrobial agents, and enzyme inhibitors, neutron capture therapy for cancer, transmembrane transport, and bioconjugation and labeling of proteins and cell surface

# Jamie Pitman
**Jamie Pitman** (born 6 January 1976) is an English football player and coach who was the manager of Hereford United until 5 March 2012.
## Playing career {#playing_career}
He progressed through the youth system at Swindon Town, eventually making three league appearances before being released. He joined Hereford United in early 1996 when the Bulls started their push for the playoffs. He missed much of the following season through injury, which saw Hereford relegated out of the Football League. He stayed with the club for their first season in the Conference before spending two seasons each at Yeovil Town and Woking. During his spell at the latter, he scored the goal that knocked Hereford out of the FA Cup in 2000.
He rejoined the Bulls for the 2002--03 season when they were undergoing a squad clearout. He scored twice on his return, in a 2--1 win against Farnborough Town and in the next two seasons he missed only a handful of League matches. His final game for the club was the Conference Playoff Final in 2006, where he came on as a substitute for the start of extra time to help Hereford regain their League status. He was the only Hereford player on the pitch who had experienced the club\'s relegation in 1997 as well as the two playoff disappointments in 2004 and 2005. Although he wished to stay at the club, he was not offered a new contract.
At the start of the 2006--07 season, he signed for Forest Green Rovers. He made a total of 64 appearances in the Conference National scoring just once and was player/assistant manager to Jim Harvey before he departed in August 2008 for Hereford United as their club physiotherapist.

The northern terminus is at PA 64 in Zion. The road is known as Pennington Road, Halfmoon Valley Road, Centre Line Road, Buffalo Run Road, Water Street, High Street, Bishop Street, and Zion Road.
## Route description {#route_description}
PA 550 begins at an intersection with PA 453 and PA 45 Truck in Snyder Township, Blair County, heading northeast on a two-lane undivided road concurrent with PA 45 Truck. The route passes through forested areas to the southeast of Bald Eagle Mountain, heading past the residential community of Nealmont. The road heads into Warriors Mark Township in Huntingdon County and becomes Pennington Road, running through wooded areas with some fields and development and passing through Stover. PA 550/PA 45 Truck continues through agricultural areas with occasional trees and residences before running through more woodland with some homes. The road heads through a mix of farmland and woods as it comes to the residential community of Warriors Mark, intersecting PA 350. At this intersection, PA 45 Truck turns to the southeast to join PA 350 and PA 550 becomes Centre Lane, heading into more agricultural areas with some trees and homes. The route turns to the northwest before making a turn to the northeast onto Halfmoon Valley Road, continuing through more rural areas.
PA 550 enters Halfmoon Township in Centre County and continues northeast through an agricultural valley with some residences. The road passes through farmland with a few woods and some residential subdivisions as it heads through the communities of Centennial and Stormstown. The route heads into Patton Township and becomes Buffalo Run Road, passing through a mix of farmland and housing developments before heading into wooded areas. In Buffalo Run, PA 550 turns to the east and intersects Atherton Street before passing under I-99/US 220/US 322. The road continues through a mix of agricultural and wooded areas with homes, heading through Waddle. Farther northeast, the route runs through more rural areas, passing through the community of Briarly. Upon reaching Fillmore 550 crosses into Benner Township and runs through more farm fields with occasional areas of residences. The road passes to the north of Bellefonte Airport before heading past housing developments and running through woods, crossing Spring Creek.

# The Billboard
**The Billboard** (77 4 21 S 145 41 18 W display=inline,title) is a massive granite monolith in the Sarnoff Mountains of the Ford Ranges of Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica, standing just west of Mount Rea between Arthur Glacier and Boyd Glacier.
## History
It was discovered in November 1934 by a Second Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1933--35) sledge party under Paul Siple, and is so named because of its form and appearance with vertical faces rising above the continental ice.
The summit was first visited by Bruce Luyendyk and Kuno Lecha by helicopter piloted by Colin Hardiman on January 1993 during expedition GANOVEX VII. In 1998--99, Christine Siddoway led a geological party from Colorado College that reached the summit by climbing a west route.
## Geology
The Billboard is composed of Cretaceous Byrd Coast granite. It is topped by an erosion surface that reaches an elevation of 793 m, which is about 700 m above the outlet glacier below. The surface lacks glacial erosion features; however erratics found on the surface provide evidence of overriding by cold-based glacier ice. Features of prolonged surface weathering in a sub-aerial environment are sheeting and weathering pits

# Brazo Oriental
**Brazo Oriental** is a *barrio* (neighbourhood or district) of Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay. Brazo Oriental is a residential zone located approximately 5 km from Montevideo\'s centre.
## Location and origin of name {#location_and_origin_of_name}
Brazo Oriental borders La Figurita and Jacinto Vera to the south, Bolívar to the east, Cerrito de la Victoria to the northeast, Aires Puros to the northwest and Atahualpa to the west. It is delimited by Artigas Boulevard to the south, Burgues Avenue to the west and José Batlle y Ordóñez Boulevard to the north.
It was reported in the press around 1910 that there had been a mortal fight with knives between a \"Porteño\" (Argentinian) and an \"Oriental\" (Uruguayan) at the corner of the actual avenues San Martín and Luis Alberto de Herrera. Although the Argentinian was younger and more agile, the fight was won by the Uruguayan thanks to the power of his arm (brazo). For many years following the event this place was called \"la esquina del brazo del Oriental\" (the corner of the arm of the Oriental), which finally gave its name to the barrio.
## Landmarks
The most important landmarks of the *barrio* are the Museo de la Casa de Luis Alberto de Herrera, historical leader of the Partido Nacional, the Escuela Superior de Comercio of the Universidad del Trabajo del Uruguay (UTU) the headquarters of the Colón F.C. sports club and the public sports facilities of \"Plaza de deportes 12\", which include a closed gymnasium, a 25-meter open air swimming pool, two basket courts and a 100m sprinting stripe.
## Places of worship {#places_of_worship}
- Armenian Evangelical Church (Armenian Evangelical)
## Transportation
The bus lines that pass through Brazo Oriental are the following: 76, 185, 186, 526 (Artigas Boulevard); 155, 156, 396, 404, 456 (San Martín avenue); 150, 158 (Burgues avenue); 169, 175, 199, 505 (General Flores avenue); 181, 182, 183, 306 (Luis Alberto de Herrera avenue); 2, 173 (José Batlle y Ordóñez Boulevard)

# Laubeuf Fjord
**Laubeuf Fjord** is a sound in Antarctica, 40 km long in a north-south direction and averaging 16 km wide, lying between the east-central portion of Adelaide Island and the southern part of Arrowsmith Peninsula, Graham Land. It connects Hanusse Bay to the north with Marguerite Bay to the south. The southern \'border\' between Laubeuf Fjord and Marguerite Bay is formed by the line between Rothera Point, Adelaide Island, and Cape Sáenz, which is the southernmost point of the Arrowsmith Peninsula. The fjord was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908--10, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, and named by him for Maxime Laubeuf, a French marine engineer who supervised building the engine for the ship *Pourquoi-Pas*.
There are several islands in Laubeuf Fjord. The largest and northernmost of these is Day Island, followed by Wyatt Island a bit further south. Still further south are the smaller Webb Island and Pinero Island. There are also various very small, mostly rocky islets, such as the Brockhamp Islands, Covey Rocks, Quilp Rock and Killingbeck Island.
Several large glaciers calve into Laubeuf Fjord. From the Arrowsmith Peninsula these are the Ward Glacier, the Vallot Glacier and the Nye Glacier. From Adelaide Island comes the huge Shambles Glacier that terminates in Stonehouse Bay, a large bay on the west side of Laubeuf Fjord

# Arrowsmith Peninsula
**Arrowsmith Peninsula** (67 15 S 67 15 W source:GNIS display=inline,title) is a cape about 40 mi long on the west coast of Graham Land, west of Forel Glacier, Sharp Glacier and Lallemand Fjord, and northwest of Bourgeois Fjord, with Hanusse Bay lying to the northwest. It was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1955-58 and named for Edwin Porter Arrowsmith, Governor of the Falkland Islands.
## Named features {#named_features}
Various features along the coast of Arrowsmith Peninsula have been charted and named. The peninsula and many of its features were first seen and roughly surveyed in 1909 by the French Antarctic Expedition (FAE) under Jean-Baptiste Charcot. Unless otherwise noted, all of the following features were named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC).
### Northern portion {#northern_portion}
Shmidt Point marks the north extremity of Arrowsmith Peninsula. It was sketched from the air in 1937 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Riddoch Rymill and named in 1954 for Otto Schmidt, director of the Arctic Institute at Leningrad and leader of many Arctic expeditions.
Langmuir Cove indents the north end of the peninsula, just to the west of Shmidt Point. It was named for Irving Langmuir, an American physicist who studied the formation of snow. The northwest extremity of the peninsula is Thorne Point, which is west of the cove. It was mapped in 1960 from surveys made by FIDS personnel, and was named for John Thorne, FIDS meteorologist at Detaille Island. To the west of that is Shumskiy Cove. Photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) in 1957, it was mapped by FIDS from 1956 to 1959, and later named for Petr A. Shumskiy, Russian glaciologist.
### West coast {#west_coast}
Along the west coast, the headland Bagnold Point divides Shumskiy Cove from Gunnel Channel. It was named in 1960 for Ralph A. Bagnold, English explorer and geologist. Inland to the east lies Mount St. Louis, and farther inland, Meier Valley, named for Mark F. Meier, an American geologist who studied strain in glaciers.
Continuing south along the west coast, the next notable feature is Longridge Head, which forms the north side of Whistling Bay and marks the south end of a small coastal ridge which extends 3 nmi northward along the peninsula. The descriptive name was applied by FIDS personnel who surveyed the headland in 1948. Whistling Bay is an open bay, 4 nautical miles (7 km) wide and indenting 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 km) between Longridge Head and Cape Saenz. It was first roughly surveyed in 1936 by BGLE personnel, then resurveyed in 1948 by FIDS, who named it for an unidentified whistling sound heard there at the time of the survey.
### South coast {#south_coast}
The southernmost extremity of the peninsula is Cape Saenz, which was named by Charcot for Roque Sáenz Peña, President of the Argentine Republic. The cape is between Laubeuf Fjord and Bigourdan Fjord. Inland of the cape, the Mercanton Heights stand between Bigourdan Fjord and Nye Glacier. The Heights were mapped by FIDS from 1948 to 1959, and were later named for Swiss glaciologist Paul-Louis Mercanton.
Farther east, just before Arrowsmith Peninsula joins the main coast, rocky Chertigrad Point marks the west side of the entrance to Blind Bay, the northeast extremity and head of Bourgeois Fjord. The point was named by the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute (BAI) after the western Bulgarian medieval fortress Chertigrad. Blind Bay was first surveyed in 1936 by the BGLE, and named by FIDS, following a 1949 survey, because the bay proved a blind alley to sledging parties.

# Tyne–Tees derby
The **Tyne--Tees derby** is a term used by both Middlesbrough and Newcastle fans, along with the media for a football match between Newcastle United and Middlesbrough.
The fixture had increased importance in the late 1990s and early 2000s, as the only all North-East fixture of the season, since at the time Newcastle United and Middlesbrough were Premier League teams (while Sunderland was largely outside the top flight at the time). Both teams enjoyed a degree of success in this period: Newcastle qualified in for the Champions League and challenged for the Premier League title. Middlesbrough, with high-profile players including Juninho, Fabrizio Ravanelli, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Mark Viduka, reached five major cup finals from 1997 to 2006, including the 2006 UEFA Cup Final and lifted the 2004 League Cup.
Middlesbrough play their home games at the Riverside Stadium, while Newcastle United play their home games at St. James\' Park.
## Results

# Mount Joyce
**Mount Joyce** (75 36 S 160 49 E name=Mount Joyce) is a prominent, dome-shaped mountain, 1,830 m high, standing 8 nmi northwest of Mount Howard in the Prince Albert Mountains of Victoria Land, Antarctica.
## Exploration and name {#exploration_and_name}
Mount Joyce was first mapped by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907--09, which named it for Ernest Joyce who was in charge of general stores, dogs, sledges, and zoological collections with the expedition and who had earlier been with the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901--04. Joyce was also with the Ross Sea party of Shackleton\'s Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914--17.
## Location
Mount Joyce is south of David Cauldron in the David Glacier and east of Hollingsworth Glacier. The Ricker Hills lie to the west. Nearby features include Burrage Dome to the northeast, Mount Mallis, Mount Howard, Mount Billing and Mount Bowen to the southeast, and Crash Nunatak and Ford Peak to the southwest.
## Geology
Mount Joyce, along with nearby nunataks, such as the Trio Nunataks, represents the remnants of a tableland of the Jurassic Ferrar Group, which consists of Kirkpatrick lavas and Ferrar dolerite sills, alternating with rafts of sandstone of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Beacon Supergroup. The strata dip about 1-2 degrees (at most) to the west. On Mount Joyce only three major dolerite sills are observed, with two thin interleaving seams of Beacon sediments.
## Features
### Burrage Dome {#burrage_dome}
. A mainly ice-covered dome, 840 m high, standing 4 nmi northeast of the summit of Mount Joyce. Mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1956-62. Named by United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Roy E. Burrage, Jr., construction mechanic with the South Pole Station winter party, 1966.
### Mount Mallis {#mount_mallis}
. A mountain, 1,360 m high, midway between Mount Joyce and Mount Billing in the Prince Albert Mountains, Victoria Land. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1956-62. Named by US-ACAN for Robert R. Mallis, geomagnetist/seismologist with the South Pole Station winter party, 1966.
### Mount Howard {#mount_howard}
. A dark, rounded mountain, 1,460 m high, standing 8 nmi southeast of Mount Joyce. Discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (BrNAE), 1901-04, which named it for Lord Howard de Walden who assisted Captain Robert Falcon Scott in his experiments with sledges.
### Mount Billing {#mount_billing}
. A wedge-shaped mountain, 1,420 m high, standing between Mount Mallis and Mount Bowen. Named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee (NZ-APC) for Graham Billing, public relations officer at Scott Base, 1962-63 and 1963-64 seasons.
### Mount Bowen {#mount_bowen}
. A mountain of stratified sandstone capped by a sharp black peak, 1,875 m high, standing 6 nmi southwest of Mount Howard. Discovered by the BrNAE, 1901-04, which named it for the Honorable C.C. Bowen, one of the men who gave the expedition much assistance in New Zealand.
### Crash Nunatak {#crash_nunatak}
. An isolated nunatak between Beta Peak and Mount Bowen. Named by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1962-63, because the nunatak lies close to the scene of the United States Navy R4D plane crash of November 25, 1962.
### Ford Peak {#ford_peak}
. A rock peak, 1,830 m high, standing 6.5 nmi west of Mount Billing. Named by the Southern Party of NZGSAE, 1962-63, for M.R.J. Ford, asst. surveyor with that party, who had wintered over at Scott Base in 1962

# Albor Tholus
**Albor Tholus** is an extinct volcano in the volcanic province Elysium on Mars. It lies south of the neighbouring volcanoes Elysium Mons and Hecates Tholus. Albor Tholus is 4.5 kilometres high and has a diameter of 160 km at its base. Its large caldera, having a diameter of 30 km and a depth of 3 km, is deep compared to calderas on the Earth. The elevation of the lowest level of the caldera is the same as the base of the volcano; however, the original lower slopes of Albor Tholus may have been covered by lava flows from its larger neighbor, Elysium Mons. Evaluations by the Mars probe Mars Express found that the volcanoes of the Elysium region were active over long periods.

# Overlay control
In silicon wafer manufacturing **overlay control** is the control of pattern-to-pattern alignment necessary in the manufacture of silicon wafers.
Silicon wafers are currently manufactured in a sequence of steps, each stage placing a pattern of material on the wafer; in this way transistors, contacts, etc., all made of different materials, are laid down. In order for the final device to function correctly, these separate patterns must be aligned correctly -- for example contacts, lines and transistors must all line up.
Overlay control has always played an important role in semiconductor manufacturing, helping to monitor layer-to-layer alignment on multi-layer device structures. Misalignment of any kind can cause short circuits and connection failures, which in turn impact fab yield and profit margins.
Overlay control has become even more critical now because the combination of increasing pattern density and innovative techniques such as double patterning and 193 nm immersion lithography creates a novel set of pattern-based yield challenges at the 45 nm technology node and below. This combination causes error budgets to shrink below 30 percent of design rules, where existing overlay metrology solutions cannot meet total measurement uncertainty (TMU) requirements.
Overlay metrology solutions with both higher measurement accuracy/precision and process robustness are key factors when addressing increasingly tighter overlay budgets. Higher order overlay control and in-field metrology using smaller, micro-grating or other novel targets are becoming essential for successful production ramps and higher yields at 45 nm and beyond.
Examples of the widely adopted overlay measurement tools worldwide are KLA-Tencor\'s ARCHER [1](http://www.kla-tencor.com/metrology/archer-series.html), and the nanometrics [2](http://www.nanometrics.com) CALIPER series, overlay metrology platforms

# Blaiklock Island
**Blaiklock Island** is a high and rugged, irregular-shaped island 9 nmi long, lying between Bigourdan Fjord and Bourgeois Fjord. It is separated from Pourquoi Pas Island by The Narrows and from the west coast of Graham Land by Jones Channel. The feature was partially surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition under Rymill, at which time it was charted as a promontory. It was determined to be an island in 1949 by Kenneth V. Blaiklock, a Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) surveyor for whom it is named.
## Named features {#named_features}
Scree Cove is a cove on the southwest side of the island. It was mapped by FIDS from surveys and air photos in 1948--59, and named for the very prominent scree or talus slopes along the southern shore of the cove.
Mount Kershaw sits on the northeast end of the island, above Kosiba Wall and the former Jones Ice Shelf.
## Blaicklock Island Refuge {#blaicklock_island_refuge}
Blaicklock Island Refuge (67.545189 S 67.193443 W format=dms region:AQ display=inline) is a British Antarctic Survey refuge located on the island. The refuge was inaugurated on 6 March 1957 and remained active until 1958; it was utilized as refuge and advanced base for survey and geological research as well as satellite hut for personnel based at Station E, Station W and Station Y.
The refuge, on 19 May 1995, it was collectively designated as Historic Site or Monument (HSM 63) under the Antarctic Treaty System along with the relatively nearby Base Y, Horseshoe Island. The site was cleaned up in 1997 and has been managed by United Kingdom Antarctic Heritage Trust since 2014

}}`{=mediawiki} **East Mouse** (*\'\'\'Ynys Amlwch\'\'\'*) is an islet found off the north coast of Anglesey, Wales. It is found just a few hundred metres away from the town of Amlwch. For this reason the island is known in Welsh as *Ynys Amlwch*, Amlwch Island. The islet is tiny (a maximum 141 metres long by 61 metres wide) with a maximum area of only 1.5 acre, and void of any significant flora and fauna. The islet is one of three similarly named islands off the north coast of Anglesey, the other two being West Mouse (Maen y Bugail) and Middle Mouse (Ynys Badrig). The island is the site of the wreck of the SS *Dakota*, which was built in 1874, striking the island and sinking on 9 May 1877. The 4,332-ton ship was broken into three pieces but all 218 souls on board were saved
