# Fred Alexander (historian)
**Frederick Alexander** (known primarily as **Fred Alexander**) (12 April 1899 -- 17 March 1996) was an Australian historian who specialised in foreign affairs and policy. He was the founding Head of the University of Western Australia\'s Department of History, where he was instrumental in the development of the history curriculum.
## Biography
The son of a primary school headmaster, Fred Alexander was born in Victoria on 12 April 1899. He attended Melbourne High School, and in 1916 won an exhibition to attend lectures at Trinity College during his studies at the University of Melbourne, where he intended to gain a Bachelor of Laws degree. However, he developed an interest in history under the influence of Professor Ernest Scott, and deferred his law studies to obtain a Bachelor of Arts with First Class Honours in history. He then completed his third year of law studies, but in 1920 he won an Orient Line scholarship that enabled him to pursue studies at Balliol College, Oxford.
During his second year at Balliol, he suffered from a recurrent illness, and in 1923 he was advised by his doctors to take a long sea voyage. That year, he sailed for Melbourne; when his ship docked at Fremantle, Western Australia, he took the opportunity to visit Edward Shann, the foundation professor of History and Economics at the University of Western Australia. The following year, after returning to England, receiving the Herbertson Prize in History along with a M.A., and getting married, he received from Shann an offer of appointment as Assistant Lecturer at the University of Western Australia. He arrived in Perth in September 1924. He was elected a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia in 1944.
In 1949--50, he spent four months in South Africa as a Carnegie Fellow, an experience which caused him to concentrate on Commonwealth history. He retired in 1966, and later served as Chairman of the Library Board of Western Australia. The Alexander Library Building is named after him. He died on 17 March 1996

# Pythium ultimum
***Pythium ultimum*** is a plant pathogen. It causes damping off and root rot diseases of hundreds of diverse plant hosts including maize, soybean, potato, wheat, fir, and many ornamental species. *P. ultimum* belongs to the peronosporalean lineage of oomycetes, along with other important plant pathogens such as *Phytophthora* spp. and many genera of downy mildews. *P. ultimum* is a frequent inhabitant of fields, freshwater ponds, and decomposing vegetation in most areas of the world. Contributing to the widespread distribution and persistence of *P. ultimum* is its ability to grow saprotrophically in soil and plant residue. This trait is also exhibited by most *Pythium* spp. but not by the related *Phytophthora* spp., which can only colonize living plant hosts.
## Pathology and disease management {#pathology_and_disease_management}
*P. ultimum* is a species complex that includes *P. u.* var. *ultimum* and *P. u.* var. *sporangiiferum*. One major distinguishing feature between these two genetically distinct organisms is the production of zoospores (swimming spores) \-- which are produced only rarely by *P. u.* var. *ultimum*. Asexual reproduction of both *P. u.* var. *sporangiiferum* and *P. u.* var. *ultimum* results in the formation of sporangia that develop at the tips of hyphae. Wind, water or other disruptions to the soil can disperse the pathogen by causing the sporangia to detach. In the case of *P. u.* var. *sporangiiferum*, the free sporangia release zoospores in response to outside stimuli. These zoospores can then \"swim\" to susceptible root tissues. This infection process is referred to as \"indirect germination\". Contrary to *P. u.* var. *sporangiiferum*, the free sporangia of *P. u.* var. *ultimum* do not release zoospores, instead, they undergo a process called \"direct germination\", during which the sporangia themselves form invasive hyphae that serve as the primary inoculum source. Generation of these infectious hyphae is initiated once the free sporangia have made contact with susceptible plant tissues. Once attached, they form appressoria; specialized infection structures that can generate enough turgor pressure to punch through the plant cuticle. From there, both variants engage in necrotrophy, a process by which pathogenic organisms kill host cells in order to access and incorporate their contents to meet their nutritional needs.*P. u.* var. *ultimum* in particular, is known to release a cascade of unique effector proteins to break down and degrade various cellular components of plant tissues. Both species make oospores, which are thick-walled structures produced by sexual recombination that can serve as survival structures during times of stress. Both varieties are self-fertile (homothallic), which means that a single strain can mate with itself. One important ecological difference between the different types of spores produced by these organisms, is that sporangia and zoospores are short-lived, while the thick-walled oospores can persist for years within soil, surviving even winter freezes. Common signs of a *Pythium* infection include stunting of the plants, brown coloration of root-tips, and wilting of the plant during the warm part of the day. Management of disease is challenging but focuses on sanitation, fungicides, and biological control. Fungicides include mefenoxam, thiadiazole, etridiazole, propamocarb, dimethomorph, and phosphonates. Biological control agents include the bacteria *Bacillus subtilis*, *Enterobacter cloacae*, *Streptomyces griseoviridis*, and the fungi *Candida oleophila*, *Gliocladium catenulatum*, *Trichoderma harzianum*, and *T. virens*.
Effective resistance in the plant host is generally not available. Sanitation is very important since the pathogen can be easily introduced into pasteurized soil or even soil-free potting mixes on dirty tools or pots. Especially in greenhouses, fungus gnats may also help move the pathogen from place to place. A recent study of greenhouses in Michigan revealed that the same pathogen populations were responsible for the root rot of all greenhouse ornamental plants over a two-year period. These results stress the importance of sanitation and encourage greenhouse growers to improve their scouting of all incoming plant material to prevent additional root rot.
## Genetics
*Pythium ultimum* is divided into varieties *ultimum* and *sporangiiferum*, the genomes of both of which have been sequenced. Analysis of the genomes suggest that the two species encode 15,290 and 14,086 proteins, respectively.
Samples of *Pythium* sp. isolates from soils in Japan were analyzed phylogenetically; the phylogenetic trees were divided into five monophyletic clades, proposed as new genera (*Pythium*, *Elongisporangium*, *Ovatisporangium*, *Globisporangium*, and *Pilasporangium*). Under this new phylogeny, *P. ultimum* would be renamed to *Globisporangium ultimum*.
Liang *et al.*, 2020 finds GH55 `{{endash}}`{=mediawiki} common in some other *Pythium* spp. `{{endash}}`{=mediawiki} is absent from this species.

# Pythium ultimum
## Microbiome impacts on *P. ultimum* disease incidence and severity {#microbiome_impacts_on_p._ultimum_disease_incidence_and_severity}
While fungicides and proper sanitation measures remain important means of *Pythium* control and management, natural means of suppression via the formation of disease suppressive environments, is becoming better understood, and could pave the way for more sustainable practices in commercial production of crops susceptible to *P. ultimum*.
Disease suppressive environments are defined as environments in which environmental conditions are favorable, a susceptible host is present along with a virulent pathogen, but disease levels remain low. The soil microbiome of plants is known to influence soil-borne diseases incidence and severity by either indirectly combatting disease by fortifying plant defenses or through direct microbe-microbe interactions, thus helping to create a disease suppressive environment. Both *P. u.* var. *sporangiiferum* and *P. u.* var. *ultimum* are not immune to the impacts of microbiome-based disease suppression. Many studies have correlated increased suppression of *P. ultimum* with an increase in total abundance of microorganisms present in growth media microbiomes. For example, increased microbial activity and biomass has been correlated with a decrease in *P. ultimum* induced damping-off of cucumber. The method of microbe-mediated suppression of *Pythium* remains uncertain, however, these and other studies suggest that competition in the rhizosphere for carbon and nitrogen resources could play a role. Another theory suggests that at high enough concentrations, bacteria can quickly coat and protect susceptible plant tissues, leaving no room for *Pythium* adherence and subsequent infection

# Monilinia laxa
***Monilinia laxa*** is a plant pathogen that is the causal agent of brown rot of stone fruits.
## Disease cycle {#disease_cycle}
*Monilinia laxa* is an ascomycete fungus that is responsible for the brown rot blossom blight disease that infects many different types of stone fruit trees, such as apricots, cherries and peaches. It can also occasionally affect some pome fruits; for example, apples and pears. The pathogen overwinters on infected plant parts, particularly on infected twigs, branches, old flower parts or mummified fruits. In spring, the pathogen produces asexual conidia on the aforementioned infected plant debris. In addition, apothecia, which are small, open cup, mushroom-like sexual propagative structures of *M. laxa* that produce ascospores, also develop on the fallen fruits on the ground. Both asexual (conidia) and sexual (ascospores) spore types are spread during the spring via wind and rain in which they infect blossoms and young shoots. Floral tissue is the most susceptible to both spores' infection when the trees are in full bloom. The infected floral tissues are responsible for the production of the secondary inoculums that further continues the disease cycle during the spring season. If the environmental conditions are very conducive (i.e. warm and wet environments), infection can also occur in non-flowering shoots or leaves. Infection is sometimes not visible until after the fruit begins to ripen and the pit hardens. These ripe fruits are at a high risk of being infected and passing the disease onto other plants during harvest.
## Importance
Throughout the entire world, brown rot is arguably the most common reason for crop loss of stone fruits both before and after harvest, especially in regions with warmer temperatures and wet climates.^\[5\]^ This disease has actually been shown to have a variety of incidence from year to year due to environmental variation. Before the discovery of extremely effective fungicides, when fruit ripened during a period of high rainfall, there were significant losses due to Brown rot blossom blight.^\[5\]^ After centuries of studying this disease in both Europe and North America, the use of fungicides have more recently become effective. Demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides and Benzimidazole (BZI) fungicides are both examples of common fungicides that have been used to treat brown rot. However, since the beginning of these fungicides, another set of problems arose. After time, brown rot has become resistant to a few fungicides including both DMI and BZI. Luckily, scientists have been able to develop strategies for managing or delaying fungicide resistance to Brown rot blossom blight.^\[6\]^
In addition to this, brown rot has been shown to be of serious economic importance even though it has been harder to estimate. Brown rot can cause detrimental losses to stone fruits in very wet seasons during flowering or immediately pre-harvest. Brown rot mostly occurs on maturing fruit close to harvest. Moreover, these losses may occur to fruit after postharvest. For example, post harvest decay of fruits have been approximated to be about 9% loss during transporting and marketing just in the US.
## Environment
*Monilinia laxa* proliferates the most in warm and wet weather. Therefore, it is unsurprising to find that it is most commonly found in California as well as the midwestern and northeastern states. Conversely, the disease has not been found in the southeastern states. Outside of the United States, *M. laxa* is commonly found in Europe, South Africa, and Chile.
Conidia begin to develop on infected plant debris once the temperature reaches 40 F. While infection does not occur below 50 F, it does occur once the temperature increases beyond that point. The ideal temperature for *M. laxa* infection is between 59-77 F. The spores produced by this pathogen can be dispersed by both wind and rain. However, the fungus is also able to proliferate in dry and highly humid conditions. Compared to in cooler conditions, at high humidity ash-gray-brown spore masses can form on the diseased flowers and twig cankers. Typically fruit susceptibility to brown rot increases about two to three weeks prior to harvest

# Mycosphaerella brassicicola
***Mycosphaerella brassicicola*** is a plant pathogen. The pathogen is the teleomorph phase of an ascomycete fungus, which causes the ring spot disease of brassicas. The supplementary anamorph phase *Asteromella brassicae* produces conidia through its asexual reproduction, however these spores are not confirmed to cause disease in host plants.
## Hosts
*Mycosphaerella brassicicola* is common among a variety of crops within the genus *Brassica* and has been historically noted on Brussels sprouts, winter cauliflower, and cabbage. * *Alternative species of the *Mycosphaerella* are thought to have a more restricted host range, though there is not yet concrete evidence to support this conclusion.
## Disease cycle {#disease_cycle}
The fungus produces ascospores through its sexual reproductive stage which infect host plants by entering the plant through the stomata. The infection begins through the spores germinating penetration pegs and germ tubes. Around three weeks following infection small black specks of conidia within pycnidia, and ascospores within perithecia, can be seen forming upon concentric ring-shaped lesions. Both spore types develop lesions, though the sexual spores tend to create larger more spherical rings. The conidia produced from asexual reproduction may cause spots upon host leaves, however such signs are not known to induce disease from infection. The ascospores are bicellular and 8 are contained within each asci inside of their corresponding perithecium. The fruiting bodies require moisture to facilitate their reproduction and tend to form after a period of 100% relative humidity lasting at least four days. The longer the duration of wetness, the more severe the infection may spread, with ascospores traveling between crops through wind transport.
## Symptoms
An infection from *Mycosphaerella brassicicola* typically presents itself on older leaves, though can be seen on younger foliage with more severe infections. Although infection is most noted on the leaves of the host, spores are technically able to cause disease on any above ground portion of the plant. Lesions tend to appear around 10--14 days following fungal infection. The ring lesions produced by ascospore infection will terminate at the veins of leaves, at times restricting the characteristic circular nature of the signs of *Mycosphaerella brassicicola*. The ring symptoms may be green-brown or grey-black in color then will progress until grey when dry, turning black when wet. The outer edge typically form a ring of chlorosis around the necrotic tissue within the lesion. The rings originate as 3-5mm diameter spots that can potentially grow up to 2--3 cm. If the infection spreads far enough it may lead to premature defoliation of the host.
## Environment
The disease has been especially prevalent in areas of Great Britain and south-west England. Infection is most common at 16-20 °C during wet periods to allow for easy entry through the stomata. Poor soil drainage can contribute to *Mycosphaerella brassicicola* proliferation through allowing for the high levels of moisture required for the ascospores to infect their host. Intensive agricultural operations further enhance the spread of disease by wind and water from the close proximity of host crops, as well as the potential for contact to occur between infected and healthy crop foliage

# Pseudopeziza medicaginis
***Pseudopeziza medicaginis*** (*P. medicaginis*) is a fungal pathogen of alfalfa.
## Host and Symptoms {#host_and_symptoms}
The pathogen *P. medicaginis* is an ascomycete and can cause leaf spot in crops like red clover. The common leaf spot on alfalfa is a foliar disease. Although not much research has been done on this specific disease, it has been reported as the most common alfalfa disease and caused the greatest yield loss in alfalfa crops over the past 100 years. It has been shown in multiple studies that it can cause up to 40% loss in yield but average losses are closer to 18%. The first symptoms of leaf spot are small circular lesions that form on the lowest leaves on the plant. These lesions are usually less than 2 mm in diameter and are brown or black in color with smooth margins. The younger leaves show symptoms first, and the disease works its way up the plant. Eventually, the leaves will become so diseased that they will turn yellow and fall off. *P. medicaginis* will not kill the plant but there will be a reduction in quality and yield. Leaf spots start to appear 5 -- 13 days after infection and apothecia are formed 14 days later. In the center of the lesion, a dark colored raised disk can be observed and is known as the apothecium. This feature is a diagnostic sign of the disease. These ascocarps contain the asci which eventually release ascospores to infect more tissues. If the disease progresses enough, elliptical lesions can be observed on the succulent stems. These lesions are not commonly found and do not produce fruiting bodies.
## Environment
Common leaf spot can be found in any alfalfa field across the United States of America (US). While the Southwestern states, including Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado, are only at moderate risk for this disease, the rest of the US is considered to be under a severe risk. Common leaf spot can be found anywhere that alfalfa is grown, but prefers cool, moist conditions, and acidic soils. The ideal temperature for the pathogen is 60 -. The first and second harvests of alfalfa are the most threatened. Second harvest tends to be the most affected by the disease because the environmental conditions are just right and the disease has had time to develop. During a rainy season, the dense canopy of alfalfa traps the humidity and makes the perfect environment for the pathogen, giving rise to common leaf spot.
## Management
There has been a significant amount of work done over the years to produce a strain of alfalfa that is resistant to *P. medicaginis*. However, currently there is no variety that is completely resistant. Planting less susceptible varieties of alfalfa is the best way to combat the issue of common leaf spot. It is important to scout fields early and look for symptoms on the younger leaves of plants. Fungicides can be applied, but are not always successful or cost effective. The severity of the disease is very dependent on the weather and the environment. During cold and wet seasons, the fields should be scouted frequently and more carefully. If leaf spot is discovered early in the season, it is possible the symptoms will decrease as the weather warms up. The best thing to do is to harvest early because delayed harvest can make the situation worse. Harvesting early will prevent further defoliation of the current crop, which will preserve some of the quality and yield. *P. medicaginis* overwinters in infected plant debris so harvesting early can also reduce the amount of inoculum available for further infections in that growing season and the next year. Harvesting early also allows the field to dry out, and reduces humidity in the phyllosphere making conditions less ideal for the pathogen. Another way to reduce the effects of common leaf spot is proper nutrient management. Applications of potassium fertilizer can minimize yield loss, severity, and leaf drop

# Firepower (1979 film)
***Firepower**\'\' (aka***Fire Power**\'\') is a 1979 British action-thriller film directed by Michael Winner and starring Sophia Loren, James Coburn, O. J. Simpson and Eli Wallach. It was the final film in the career of actor Victor Mature. The film was poorly reviewed by critics who objected to its convoluted plot, though the lead performances and filming locations were generally praised.`{{TOC limit|limit=2}}`{=mediawiki}
## Plot
In New York City, Adele Tasca is present when her husband is murdered by a letter bomb. She suspects the reclusive billionaire Karl Stegner, his former employer, of committing the assassination. She learns that her husband, who worked as a chemist, discovered that his employer had made a contaminated drug that resulted in patients contracting cancer. The US government would like to be able to find and bring charges against this mysterious Stegner, who hides his face from the world and his income from the tax department.
FBI agent Frank Hull is assigned to the case but does not know how to find Stegner. He decides to use a former secret agent, Sal Hyman, to help him. The latter hires Jerry Fannon, a former mafia hitman, for a million dollars, and sends him to Antigua. Sal thinks Jerry is the only man likely to infiltrate the network that protects Stegner.
His right-hand man, Catlett is killed by Leo Gelhorn on the island, but with the help of the beautiful Adele, who wants revenge, Jerry succeeds in tracking down Stegner, before realizing that he actually captured Stegner\'s double, who was the victim of an attack by Stegner\'s men. Jerry returns to the island where Stegner is hiding. The mysterious Dr. Felix is really Stegner.
After disposing of the vehicles and the helicopter of Dr. Felix, Jerry enters the house with a bulldozer. He takes Felix prisoner and leaves with him and Adele, pursued by Stegner\'s bodyguards. As they prepare to leave the island by seaplane, Adele turns a gun on Jerry. Felix takes his weapon, but when he fires at Jerry, Adele turns away. Jerry finally takes off with Dr. Felix to be brought to justice.
A little later, Adele is introduced to Harold Everett, another billionaire who she sets her eyes on, as her next conquest.

# Firepower (1979 film)
## Production
*Firepower* started as a Dirty Harry film written by Bill Kerby. It was considerably rewritten. In 1977, O. J. Simpson mentioned one of his upcoming projects was *Fire Power* for producer Carlo Ponti with Terence Hill.
Sophia Loren was cast at a reported fee of \$1 million.
According to director Michael Winner, producer Lew Grade had fully expected Charles Bronson to co-star with Loren. With much of the pre-production crew already on location in the Caribbean (Saint Lucia), Grade wanted to shut down the production when Bronson pulled out. Realizing how much money he had already sunk into a film that had not properly secured its star actors, Grade saved face by moving ahead and using James Coburn as a replacement for Bronson.
Coburn said \"I did it for the money, the locations (the Caribbean islands) and to work with Sophia Loren. The director was Michael Winner. He's probably one of the weirdest guys I've ever met. Yet, I thought he was a good guy when I first met him. But when he got on the set, he was almost like a total dictator. I found it hard to work for that way. The most fun I had was when I got to drive a bulldozer through a house in the islands (laughs)." It was one of Coburn\'s last leading roles.
Winner says the millionaire character was based on Howard Hughes and Robert Vesco.
*Firepower* was filmed in Curaçao, Saint Lucia, Antigua, Brooklyn, New Jersey, New York, Miami, Florida, and Key Largo, Florida. Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Victor Mature makes a cameo at the request of director Michael Winner, who wanted someone instantly recognisable for the role of one of the richest people in the world. \"I worked for eight hours on one scene,\" he laughed.{{#tag:ref\| Winner recalled Mature \"let his hair go grey when he did \'Firepower\' with Sophia Loren. He dyed it dark but it came out green. Sophia was orange so he said that the end of the film was the green man meets the orange woman.\"\|group=N}}
Winner says he \"resented\" having O. J. Simpson imposed on him but \"now I am happy he was given to me because what he lacks in experience he makes up with in charisma.\" Simpson said \"there were times on this movie, I didn\'t feel comfortable. I needed a little more attention from the director to establish my character.\"
## Reception
*Firepower* was an early release from AFD, a new distribution company set up by Lew Grade in association with EMI to distribute their films in the US.
### Critical
Janet Maslin of *The New York Times* wrote: \"Mr. Winner directs movies the way others toss salads, which means that "Firepower" is best appreciated at a kind of mental half‐mast. A lot happens. None of it makes sense\". She further added: \"Some of the performances Mr. Winner gets from his supporting players are rip‐roaringly awful, as is Gato Barbieri\'s loud and schlocky score. However, there\'s a nice chemistry in the teaming of Miss Loren, Mr. Coburn and Mr. Simpson, each of whom has an unusually physical presence on the screen.\"
Author John Howard Reid concurred that the plot was too convoluted, stating that the film has \"enough plot twists and action sequences for a dozen movies\". He approved of the performances, but expressed disappointment that Victor Mature barely had any screen time and was not central to the plot and that Coburn\'s double role wasn\'t used to better effect.
The review in *Variety* noted: \"If the story becomes too tough or tiresome to follow, or the action grows tepid and repetitive, there's always the beautiful scenery of the glamorous Caribbean locales

# The Ravishing of Lol Stein
***Le ravissement de Lol V. Stein*** is a novel written by Marguerite Duras and published in France by Gallimard in 1964. The text was translated by Richard Seaver and published as *The Ravishing of Lol Stein* in the U.S. by Grove Press in 1966. The text was also translated by Eileen Ellenbogen in the UK as *The rapture of Lol V. Stein* for Hamish Hamilton in 1967.
## Plot
At the beginning of the novel, Lol Stein (her middle initial is omitted in the English translation) is a woman in her thirties. She was born and raised in S Tahla in a bourgeois family and is engaged to Michael Richardson at 19. However, at a ball in the seaside resort of T Beach, Michael Richardson leaves Lol for Anne-Marie Stretter, an older woman. After a difficult recovery from this shock which marks her for the rest of her life, Lol marries John Bedford, a musician she meets on one of her daily walks. Lol leaves S Tahla with her husband.
Ten years later, with three children, Lol is an established woman with no time for fantasy. She returns with her family to S Tahla and moves into the house she grew up in. Lol goes on her daily walks as she did ten years before. She thinks she recognises Tatiana Karl one day, the friend who consoled her after her breakup with Michael Richardson. The man who accompanies Tatiana makes a deep impression on Lol.
Lol reestablishes her contact with Tatiana and gets to know both her husband and her lover, Jacques Hold. Lol is able to get information from Jacques about events at the ball at T Beach 10 years before. Lol reveals to Jacques her interest in him but forbids him to stay with her instead of Tatiana.
Lol spies on Tatiana and her lover but Jacques notices her. One day Lol tells Jacques that she has been to T Beach alone and plans to return with him. While doing this, Lol shows Jacques the room where she and Michael Richardson had split up. Lol and Jacques spend the night together. The next day, Jacques has one last meeting with Tatiana Karl.
The novel is seen through the obsessive eyes of Jacques Hold

# Sri Lanka Light Infantry
The **Sri Lanka Light Infantry (SLLI)** is the oldest regiment in the Sri Lanka Army and the oldest infantry regiment in the army. It is made up of sixteen regular battalions and nine volunteer battalions, and is headquartered at the Panagoda Cantonment, Panagoda.
## History
The origins of the regiment go back to the formation of the Ceylon Light Infantry Volunteers (CLIV) which was formed on 1 April 1881 by a proclamation issued by the Governor of Ceylon; it was a reserve unit.
The first commanding officer of the force was Lt. Col. John Scott Armitage and the Colonel of the Regiment was HRH Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales. It is said that the Regimental March \"I am Ninety Five\" and the Regimental Bugle Call, in use up to now, was adopted soon after raising of the force. In the same year, the Unit had the distinction in that HRH the Prince of Wales accepted the Honorary Colonelcy of The Ceylon Light Infantry Volunteers, by virtue of which fact the Unit adopted his Crest and motto as Its badge. In 1892, a mounted infantry company was formed and later it became a regiment of its own by the name of the Ceylon Mounted Rifles.
The Ceylon Light Infantry Volunteer force troops were sent to South Africa in 1900, for the Boer war and after the distinguish service in South Africa the force obtained the Banner from HRH The Duke of York.In 1902, King Edward VII became the Colonel-in-Chief.
In 1910 with formation of the Ceylon Defence Force CLIV became a part of it and was renamed as the **Ceylon Light Infantry**. The regiment saw action during World War I along with allied troops. Soon after the war a regular element of the regiment was formed to take up garrison duties in Ceylon. This unit was named the Mobilised Detachment of Ceylon Light Infantry (Mob. Det., CLI). The regiment was again mobilized during World War II and was deployed in the Seychelles and the Cocos Islands. The third battalion was raised in 1941, a fourth battalion in late 1942, and a fifth battalion in April 1943. One battalion each was deployed at Colombo, Kandy and Trincomalee, with the fourth battalion under training and one battalion reserved for special duties. Soon after the war a regular element of the regiment was formed to take up garrison duties in Ceylon. This unit was named the Mobilised Detachment of Ceylon Light Infantry (Mob. Det., CLI).
After Ceylon gained its independence from Britain in 1948 and with the Army Act of 1949 the CLI became the **Ceylon Infantry Regiment** and came under the newly formed Ceylon Army. But in 1950 the regiment once again became the 1st Battalion, The Ceylon Light Infantry becoming the regular unit and the Volunteer Battalion was re-designated as the 2nd (Volunteer) Battalion, Ceylon Light Infantry.
The regiment was deployed for counter insurgency operations in during the 1971 Insurrection and in 1972, when Sri Lanka became a republic, the regiment changed its name to **Sri Lanka Light Infantry**. In the early 1980s units of the regiment has been deployed in the northern parts of the island. In the ambush of the Four Four Bravo patrol from the C Company of the 1st Battalion marked the beginning of the Sri Lanka civil war. Since then the SLLI has been deployed combat operations thought out the island and has expanded to its present size of 15 Battalions.
The regiment took part in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti in 2003.
## Cadet Battalion {#cadet_battalion}
In 1881 a cadet platoon was formed at Royal College, Colombo attached to the CLI. This eventually expanded to became the **Cadet Battalion, Ceylon Light Infantry** under the Ceylon Defence Force. Later this unit became the **Ceylon Cadet Corps**, now known as the **National Cadet Corps**.

## Regimental Colours {#regimental_colours}
The regimental colours were awarded to the regiment in 1921 and on 22 March 1922 Ceylon Light Infantry was awarded with the King\'s and the Regimental Colours. The Queen\'s and Regimentals Colours were presented to the 1st battalion on 21 April 1954 by HM Queen Elizabeth II. With the declaration of the Republic of Sri Lanka were land to rest within the regimental museum on 29 June 1974.
On 10 October 1978 H.E. President J.R. Jayawardena awarded the President\'s and Regimental Colours to the 1st Bn SLLI and 2nd Vol Bn SLLI.
## Regimental Insignia {#regimental_insignia}
In early stage, from March 1881 to 28 November 1881 volunteer corps used an elephant and a coconut tree as their emblem. With the declaration of republic of Sri Lanka 1st and 2nd battalions of CLI decided to retain as much with the configuration and pattern of the existing badge. As result of these suggestions, a new insignia was introduced with following details;
- To retain the silver bugle horn bound with brass, which is on the existing badge. This was retained because the bugle traditionally represents the infantry arm and by doing so, the Regiment could perpetuate in no small measure some of the high ideals associated with the previous insignia.
- It in corporate with three sheaves of paddy arranged in a manner of up to the three plumps on the existing crest. These were in corporate to signify prosperity and the heritage of the people as an agrarian nation. It retains the motto of the Prince of Wales \"ICH DIEN\" which has been adopted as the motto of the regiment in its translation form \"I SERVE\".

# William Buchan (physician)
**William Buchan** (1729 -- 25 February 1805) was a Scottish physician and writer. He is best known for his work *Domestic Medicine: or, a Treatise on the Prevention and Cure of Diseases by Regimen and Simple Medicines*, which provided laypeople with detailed descriptions of the causes and prevention of diseases. Buchan\'s goal was one of \"laying medicine more open to mankind.\" With over 80,000 copies and 19 editions sold in Buchan\'s lifetime, it was one of the most popular medical texts in Europe and even in the European colonies in the Americas, and was translated into almost every major European language.
## Life and career {#life_and_career}
William Buchan was born in Ancrum, Roxburgshire, Scotland, in 1729. During his early years he attended a local grammar school and took a keen interest in medicine. At an early age with no formal training, he acted as one of the novice village physicians.
Upon entering Edinburgh University in 1749, he enrolled in the School of Divinity under pressure from his family. He soon replaced his theological studies with studies in mathematics, botany, and ultimately medicine. He completed his studies in medicine in 1758 after approximately nine years at the university.
After leaving the university, he started a small practice in rural Yorkshire before being appointed as a physician at the Foundling Hospital in Ackworth, Yorkshire in 1759. At the Foundling Hospital, he worked frequently with children. In 1761 he wrote his medical dissertation, *On the Preservation of Infant Life*, arguing that far too many infants were dying in Great Britain each year. There was little response to his work.
Soon after, Buchan married a lady of the Dundas clan, one of the most noble clans of Scotland. Later that year, Parliament stopped funding the Foundling Hospital, so Buchan took up a practice in Sheffield from 1761 until 1766, when he returned to Edinburgh. While in Edinburgh, he ran his own practice and gave lectures in Newtonianism and natural philosophy. A son, Alexander Peter Buchan, was born in Sheffield in 1764 and later followed his father into medicine.
William Buchan published his famous work *Domestic Medicine* in 1769. The first edition sold for only six shillings and was a great success. *Domestic Medicine* went on to sell over 80,000 copies, and 19 editions were printed, translated into almost every major European language. The German naturalists Spix and Martius, after travelling in Brazil in 1817--1820, wrote that people, even in isolated farms and towns in the interior of the Portuguese colony, consulted the Portuguese translation of Buchan\'s book in order to treat maladies. In 1772, Buchan became a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh.
In 1778, Buchan announced his candidacy for the position as chair of the Institute of Medicine upon the death of John Gregory; however, he lost the election. He later moved to London, practicing there until his death on 25 February 1805. He is buried in the cloisters of Westminster Abbey.

## Works
### *Domestic Medicine* {#domestic_medicine}
Published in 1769, *Domestic Medicine* was printed in Britain until 1846 and in the Americas until 1913. Catherine the Great, Czar of Russia, was so impressed by the work that she sent Buchan a gold medal and personal letter.
It was the first text of its kind. Previous to Buchan\'s work, most medical texts either were theoretical and written for the more educated, or were short manuals not descriptive enough to help diagnose illnesses. A combination of these two styles, *Domestic Medicine* was written in lay terms in order to reach a wider audience. It described the diseases and treatments thoroughly enough to allow people to create cures themselves. Only Swiss physician Samuel-Auguste Tissot's *Avis au peuple* was of similar style, and Buchan acknowledged it influenced his writing.
Buchan experienced wider exposure than Tissot because he addressed new health areas such as industrial diseases. The writing of *Domestic Medicine* took place near the start of the Industrial Revolution and was welcomed by the industrial workers. Generally, these industrial diseases and cures suffered from secondhand observation rather than more stringent clinical observation; however, their promise of better health garnered general support.
*Domestic Medicine* also was one of the first texts not only to discuss potential cures to diseases, but also to emphasize prevention. The first third of the text is dedicated to how to prevent a number of diseases, including inoculation against smallpox. Buchan\'s emphasis on a strict regimen of hygiene and cleanliness extended into moral judgement, in that he argued that immoral people were more likely to develop illness.
Even though *Domestic Medicine* was groundbreaking in many areas, Buchan\'s conclusions about health were framed within academic theories of iatrophysics that would dominate the European medical world until the introduction of cell theory in the nineteenth century. The medical recommendations given throughout *Domestic Medicine* followed the logic that the human body functioned as a hydraulic machine, with one\'s health dependent on restoring the correct motion of bodily fluids as well as the correct tension of organs, vessels, and other solid parts. Like many physicians at the time, Buchan was a proponent of bloodletting and purging as treatment for inflammatory conditions: these and other evacuation-based therapies were viewed as physical methods of correcting improper solid-fluid tension within the body. Buchan also advocated careful tracking of non-naturals (air, meat and drink, sleeping and watching, exercise and quiet, evacuations and obstructions, and passions).
## Death
Buchan died on 25 February 1805, at the age of 76. He was buried in Westminster Abbey

# It Always Rains on Sunday
***It Always Rains on Sunday*** is a 1947 British film adaptation of Arthur La Bern\'s novel of the same name, directed by Robert Hamer. The film has been compared with the poetic realism movement in the French cinema of a few years earlier by the British writers Robert Murphy and Graham Fuller.
## Synopsis
The film concerns events taking place one Sunday (23 March 1947, according to the announcement blackboard at the local underground station) in Bethnal Green, a part of the East End of London that had suffered the effects of bombing and post-war deprivation. Rose Sandigate is a former barmaid married to a middle-aged man who has two teenage daughters from a previous marriage. She is now a housewife, but with her wounded heart and kindly husband is coping with the difficulties of post-war rationing and a drab environment. As Rose discovers from a newspaper report, her former lover, Tommy Swann, who has served four years of a seven-year sentence for robbery with violence, has escaped from Dartmoor prison and is on the run. A series of flashbacks indicate that Rose and Tommy were engaged when he got arrested, and he may well be the father of her young son. She is surprised by him, hiding in the family\'s air-raid shelter. He asks her to hide him until nightfall. After the rest of the family have gone out, she allows Tommy into the house and feeds him and hides him in the bedroom she shares with her husband, keeping the bedroom door locked.
She manages to keep his presence a secret from the family, but it is Sunday and the lunch must be cooked. The girls are admonished for their misdemeanours of the previous night, and the husband goes out to the pub as usual. Tommy needs money, and with only her housekeeping money, she gives him a jewelled ring he gave her, which she has kept hidden from her husband. Tommy is pleased, but although he fails to recognise it as the engagement ring he had given her, she says nothing. As the day progresses, the police net closes. A newspaper reporter acting on a tip unexpectedly calls at the house to ask about her previous relationship with the escaped convict and arrives just as Tommy is about to flee, and Tommy assaults him and rushes out of the house. Recovering, the reporter rushes out to tip off the police. A panic-stricken Rose tries to gas herself. The prisoner is tracked by the police to railway sidings and after a chase is arrested by the detective inspector (Jack Warner) who has been after him. As the film ends, Rose is in hospital recovering, being comforted by her husband, who then returns alone to their home under a clear sky.

## Reception and reputation {#reception_and_reputation}
### Box office {#box_office}
The film was one of the most popular movies at the British box office in 1948. According to *Kinematograph Weekly* the \'biggest winner\' at the box office in 1948 Britain was *The Best Years of Our Lives* with *Spring in Park Lane* being the best British film and \"runners up\" being *It Always Rains on Sunday*, *My Brother Jonathan*, *Road to Rio*, *Miranda*, *An Ideal Husband*, *The Naked City*, *The Red Shoes*, *Green Dolphin Street*, *Forever Amber*, *Life with Father*, *The Weaker Sex*, *Oliver Twist*, *The Fallen Idol* and *The Winslow Boy*.
The film earned distributor\'s gross receipts of £229,834 in the UK of which £188,247 went to the producer. The film made a profit of £7,311.
### Critical
In the decades since its release, the reputation of *It Always Rains on Sunday* has grown from that of a neatly engrossing slice-of-life drama to a film often cited as one of the most overlooked achievements of late-1940s British cinema. Writing in *Films in Review* in 1987, William K. Everson described the film as \"the definitive British noir\", while a series of screenings in New York in 2008 as part of a British Film Noir season elicited tremendous praise from American critics, many of whom were previously unacquainted with the film. Scott Cruddas of *The Village Voice* described it as \"a masterpiece of dead ends and might-have-beens, highly inventive in its use of flashbacks and multiple overlapping narratives, and brilliantly acted by Withers and McCallum\". The *New York Sun*\'s S. James Snyder observed: \"When things go from gray to pitch black in the film\'s final moments, building to a climax that links the anguish of a prison inmate with the daily routine of a working-class wife, (the film) delivers an existential wallop for the ages\". David Denby wrote in *The New Yorker*: \"A fascinating noirish look at life in London\'s East End\...the scenes between Withers and McCallum are stunningly erotic\", while Stephen Garrett of *Time Out* summed the film up as: \"\"Absolutely exhilarating! A bleak thriller realised with utter vibrancy, Robert Hamer\'s savoury stew of London\'s lower class roils with an emotional brutality and precision that most films don't dare attempt, let alone achieve.\"
The film was given a theatrical re-release in the UK during 2012. Peter Bradshaw reviewing the film in *The Guardian* commented: \"The film is in many ways a precursor to kitchen-sink movies like *Saturday Night and Sunday Morning* -- and that huge, teeming market scene bears comparison with Carné\'s *Les Enfants du Paradis*

# Next Objective
***Next Objective*** was the name of a Boeing B-29-36-MO Superfortress, *44-27299*, Victor 86, modified to carry the atomic bomb in World War II.
## Airplane history {#airplane_history}
Assigned to the 393d Bomb Squadron, 509th Composite Group, it was one of 15 Silverplate B-29s used by the 509th. *Next Objective* was built at the Glenn L. Martin Aircraft Plant at Omaha, Nebraska, as a Block 35 aircraft. It was one of 10 modified as a Silverplate and re-designated \"Block 36\". Delivered on 20 March 1945, to the USAAF, it was assigned to crew A-3 (1st Lt. Ralph N. Devore, aircraft commander) and flown to Wendover Army Air Field, Utah. It left Wendover on 11 June 1945 for North Field, Tinian and arrived 17 June.
It was originally assigned the Victor (unit-assigned identification) number 6 but on 1 August was given the triangle N tail markings of the 444th Bomb Group as a security measure and had its Victor changed to 86 to avoid misidentification with actual 444th BG aircraft. It was named *Next Objective* and its nose art applied after the atomic bomb missions.
While at Tinian, Devore and crew A-3 flew *Next Objective* on 12 practice bombing missions and three pumpkin bomb missions against Japanese industrial targets at Toyama, Niihama, and Nagoya, and one which was aborted. Major Charles Sweeney, commanding officer of the 393d BS, used the bomber to rehearse procedures using a dummy \"Little Boy\" test assembly on 26 and 29 July. On the latter mission *Next Objective* landed on Iwo Jima where the inert bomb was unloaded, then reloaded to practice a contingency in which a spare aircraft would take over the mission.
In November 1945 it returned with the 509th to Roswell Army Air Field, New Mexico. From March to August 1946 it was assigned to the Operation Crossroads task force, then rejoined the 509th BG at Roswell. In April 1949 *Next Objective* was transferred to the 97th Bomb Group at Biggs Air Force Base, Texas.
On 25 May 1949, *44-27299* was assigned to a navigation training mission. Shortly after takeoff an engine fire broke out in the right outboard engine, resulting in a crew bailout. The navigator assigned struck his head on the machinery that operated the nose landing gear as he exited the aircraft and was killed when his parachute did not deploy. The pilotless *Next Objective* circled in a two-mile orbit before crashing 35 miles northeast of El Paso, where it exploded on impact.
## Other aircraft named *Next Objective* {#other_aircraft_named_next_objective}
Two FB-111A strategic bombers of the USAF 509th Bomb Wing, serials *68-0257* and *68-0284*, carried the name *Next Objective* on their nosewheel doors, and *68-0257* carried the B-29 nose art, while based at Pease Air Force Base, New Hampshire, in the 1970s and 1980s

# Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment
The **Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment** (**SLSR**) (Sinhala: ශ්රී ලංකා සිංහ රෙජිමේන්තුව *Śrī Laṃkā Sinha Rejimēnthuva*) is an infantry regiment of the Sri Lanka Army; it is the second oldest infantry regiment in the army.
## History
Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment was the first rifle regiment of the Sri Lanka Army and was formed on 1 October 1956 at the Imperial camp at Diyatalawa. The first battalion primarily consisted of 60 officers and other ranks from the Ceylon Light Infantry with Lt Col R. D. Jayathilaka MBE as the first commanding officer. The D company of the volunteer Ceylon Light Infantry was transformed into the Rajarata Rifles under the leadership of Lt Col (later Colonel) S.D. Ratwatte, and went on to become the 2nd Volunteer Battalion of the Sinha Regiment on 1 October 1956. On 1 October 1969 the 3rd Volunteer Battalion of the Sinha Regiment was formed at Hill School in Nuwara Eliya.
The regiment first saw action during the 1971 Insurrection and underwent an expansion with escalation of the Sri Lankan Civil War. With the expansion of the regiment the Regimental Centre of Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment was established on 9 May 1988 at Diyatalawa at the same location where the 1st Battalion of the Sinha Regiment was raised. Brig D Wijesingha was the first regimental commander. Later, on 21 October 1989 the Regimental Centre was relocated to Ambepussa Camp where the 1st Battalion of the Sinha Regiment was at that time. The regiment distinguished itself greatly during the Sri Lankan Civil War including having three Parama Weera Vibhushanaya and one Weerodara Vibhushanaya recipients. In 1990 the elements of the 6th Battalion successfully held the old Dutch fort of Jaffna for two months while surrounded and under siege until it was relieved by the subsequent Operation Thrividha Balaya. July 1991 the 6th Battalion garrisoned Elephant Pass base when it came under siege with the LTTE launching a massive attack on the base. The battalion held out what was termed the *battle of all battles* until it was relieved following Operation Balavegaya 18 days later.
On 3 May 2005 a contingent of troops from the regiment took part in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti.
The Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment is the only regiment in the history of the Sri Lanka Army to produce an army commander holding the rank of a full general (four star) and later a Field Marshal as indicated in the notable members area.
As a rifle regiment it marches in 140 steps a minute during parade when it is involved, together with the regimental band - the only Sri Lanka Army regiment to do so.
Commander Security Force (Wanni) Major General WPADW Nanayakkara RSP VSV USP ndu assumed duties as the 18th Colonel of the Regiment of the Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment on 01 January 2024. Brigadier CS Thibbotuge assumed duties as the 25th Commandant of the Regimental Centre Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment on 15 March 2023 during a charm ceremony held at the Regimental Centre, Ambepussa.

# Baluchi Autonomist Movement
The **Baluchi Autonomist Movement** (**BAM**) was an ethnic Baluchi guerrilla movement in Iranian Balochistan during the 1980s. The movement was supported by the Iraqi government. The BAM\'s main demands were limited autonomy and economic concessions for Iranian Baluchis. After the Iran--Iraq War, the BAM members fled to neighboring Arab Persian Gulf nations, which led to the dissolution of the group. Today it is believed that BAM divided into many groups, one of them being Jundallah, previously known as *Jondollah*

# Come Rack! Come Rope!
***Come Rack! Come Rope!*** is a historical novel published in 1912 by the English priest and writer Robert Hugh Benson (1871--1914), a convert to Catholicism from Anglicanism. Set in Derbyshire at the time of the Elizabethan persecution of Catholics, when being or harbouring a priest was considered treason and was punishable with death, it tells the story of two young lovers who give up their chance of happiness together, choosing instead to face imprisonment and martyrdom, so that God\'s will may be done.
## Background
The book was written nearly nine years after Benson\'s reception into the Catholic Church. The inspiration for the story comes from Dom Bede Camm\'s account of the recusant Fitzherbert family in *Forgotten Shrines* (1910), and from Benson\'s own visit in 1911 to Padley, home of the Fitzherberts, and scene of part of the novel, to preach at the annual pilgrimage there. The title of the book is taken from a letter of Saint Edmund Campion in which, after torture, he assured Catholics that he had revealed \"no things of secret, nor would he, come rack, come rope\". Most of the characters in the book are historical people; only the hero and heroine, their parents, and some minor characters are fictional.
It is perhaps the best known of Benson\'s novels, and has been reprinted several times. It was first published by Burns & Oates and Hutchinson in 1912 in the United Kingdom; an American edition was published the same year by Kenedy and Dodd, Mead and Company. A new edition, abridged by Philip Caraman, was published in 1956, while an abridged version by Christopher Busby, was published in 1959.

## Plot summary {#plot_summary}
### Part I {#part_i}
Seventeen-year-old Robin Audrey\'s recusant Catholic father has announced that he can no longer bear the pressure and fines and will take communion in the Anglican Church at Easter, and expects Robin to do the same. Robin is unwilling, and his fiancée, Marjorie Manners, urges him to leave the area for Easter, to avoid the situation.
Robin confides his troubles to his friend Anthony Babington, a Catholic who is fanatically devoted to the imprisoned, Catholic Mary, Queen of Scots. While out riding, the two meet Mr. Garlick, who introduces them to the newly ordained Mr. Simpson and his travelling companion Mr. Ludlam, telling them that Mr. Simpson will say Mass the following Sunday. Robin realises that he must not mention this to his father.
Marjorie is tormented by the possibility that God is calling Robin to the priesthood. She does not want to stand in the way, but is unsure whether such thoughts come from God or her own imagination. She is afraid to mention it to Robin, yet feels she should at least sow a seed in his mind. On Easter Sunday, Marjorie tells Robin her thoughts, promising that she will marry him if he wishes, but saying that if it is God\'s will that Robin should be a priest, she will not hold him for a day. Robin tells her that he cannot make that sacrifice.
The following week, Robin meets Anthony, who hints at some enterprise to restore the Catholic Faith to England, and urges Robin to join him and his friends. Unsure of what Anthony\'s secret enterprise involves, he tells Anthony he cannot decide immediately. Returning home, his father angrily demands to know his intentions. Robin begs his father not to pressure him, but to give him time; his father gives him until Pentecost.
That night, unable to sleep, Robin hears the noise of horses and sees Mr. Simpson setting out with two other men. The sight of the priest risking his life to serve God and bring consolation to souls inspires Robin to make the decision against which he has been fighting. He wakes his father and gives his answer: \"It is that I must go to Rheims and be a priest\".

### Part II {#part_ii}
Two years later, Anthony Babington visits Marjorie and tells her that he must go to London to meet a priest called Ballard. He urges Marjorie to come with him to meet Ballard and other priests so she may better recognise and assist them if they come to Derbyshire. He also mentions that Robin will be there, though not yet a priest. Marjorie agrees to come.
In London, Marjorie meets Edmund Campion, one of the most hunted priests in the kingdom, famous for his preaching. Campion explains his position of mixing boldly with the crowd to avoid suspicion, rather than hiding behind locked doors. He takes the group to see the Tower of London and the notorious priest-hunter and torturer Richard Topcliffe. They catch a glimpse of Queen Elizabeth, of whom Campion speaks with gentleness and loyalty. Campion discusses the content of his forthcoming pamphlet, \"Decem Rationes\" (\"Ten Reasons\"), against the validity of the Anglican Church.
Marjorie asks Robin for prayers and advice, wondering if she should leave the country and become a nun upon her mother\'s death. Robin promises to pray for her, but reminds her that he is not yet a priest, and gives no advice.
A year later, Marjorie is with her sick mother when Anthony Babington arrives and furiously tells Marjorie that Campion, Sherwine and Brian were hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn three days previously; they had been racked continuously and died praying for the Queen.
The next day, Marjorie\'s mother is dying, and Marjorie sends for a priest. When her mother\'s condition worsens, Marjorie tells her that there is no priest and urges her to make an Act of Contrition. When Mr. Simpson arrives two hours later, She informs him of the martyrdom of Father Campion and his companions. Mr. Simpson is seized with fear that shames and disgusts him, but cannot overcome it.
The following summer, Marjorie meets a young Catholic carpenter called Hugh Owen . He builds a special hiding place for priests at Marjorie\'s house. He tells her of how much he was inspired by Campion, and that he thinks he will die for his faith some day.
Some time later, Marjorie is injured near Robin\'s old home, and Mr. Audrey takes her into the house. He asks when Robin will be ordained, and she tells him that if Robin has not told him that, she cannot. He tells her that he is now a magistrate, and that Robin will have no mercy from him. He warns her that the authorities are watching Catholics such as the FitzHerberts. She tells him that it is not too late to repent, and that his duty to God is higher than his duty as a magistrate.

### Part III {#part_iii}
Robin, now a priest, returns to England and meets Anthony Babington, who confides to him the details of the enterprise he had hinted at before. Anthony and others intend to kill the Queen and set the imprisoned Mary, Queen of Scots, on the throne. He tells how they have been helped by Gilbert Gifford, and how they send messages to Mary. Robin begs him to give up the plot, saying that it is against God\'s law. He is also uncertain of Gifford\'s trustworthiness. Robin tells Anthony that he cannot give him absolution as long as Anthony intends to kill the Queen, but will regard the conversation as under the seal of confession, and warns Anthony not to speak about it otherwise, as it would be his duty to inform the authorities.
A few days later, Robin receives a letter from Anthony, saying that he has been betrayed and is being watched at every point, and that Mr. Gifford has been a traitor all along. He begs Robin to deliver a message to Mary. Anthony and his companions are arrested soon after.
Robin makes his way to Chartley Hall, where Mary is held captive. He speaks to her apothecary, a Catholic called Mr. Bourgoign, and tells him that he is a priest and has a message for Mary. Mr. Bourgoign presents Robin to Sir Amyas Paulet , Mary\'s jailer, as one who may be able to help Mary\'s health. Sir Amyas reluctantly allows Robin to see Mary alone for a few minutes, and Robin hears her confession and gives her Holy Communion. She declares herself innocent of the plot against Elizabeth.
Marjorie receives a message asking for Robin to hear Mary\'s confession again before her execution. Though tempted not to deliver the message because of the risk of Robin\'s arrest, she remembers how her own mother, when dying, cried out for a priest, and thinks of the guilt and heartlessness of one who would keep the priest away from a person near death. She calls Robin, tells him that she nearly destroyed the letter, and prays that God will keep him safe. Robin is unable to gain access to Mary, but watches her execution.
A year later, Robin and a group of Catholics gather in Marjorie\'s parlour to discuss the latest news. Mr. Simpson has been captured and is awaiting trial. He is beginning to falter, and there is real fear that he will apostatise. Marjorie hopes to visit him to encourage him to remain firm, but her friends urge her not to, lest she draw attention to herself and endanger her work in harbouring priests.
A month later, Robin is with Mr. Ludlam and Mr. Garlick, now priests. They hear men coming to surround the house and hide in the priest holes. Mr. Ludlam and Mr. Garlick are discovered and arrested, but Robin is not found. He makes his way to Marjorie, who arranges for him to hide in a shepherd\'s hut. While there, Robin receives a note from Marjorie telling him that Mr. Ludlam and Mr. Garlick had been put in gaol with Mr. Simpson, perhaps hoping that he would convince them to apostatise; however, the priests had instead persuaded Mr. Simpson to return to the Catholic faith, and the three had been tried, condemned, and executed.
Robin, feeling that he is being watched, leaves his hut and makes his way back to Marjorie\'s house. They hear horses, and she urges him to hide in the priest hole. Mr. Audrey arrives with men to search the house for a rumoured priest. Marjorie faints before she can inform him that it is his son. Embarrassed, Mr. Audrey tries to end the search as quickly as possible, and is secretly relieved that nothing has been found. His men, however, are suspicious, and insist on searching further. They find the priest hole and capture Robin, and Mr. Audrey has a fit.
Robin is thought to have been involved in the Babington plot, and to have gained access to the Queen of Scots. Robin is tortured for three days while being interrogated by Topcliffe, but betrays nothing. He is then tried and is sentenced to be hanged, drawn, and quartered. He is offered his life if he will conform and attend Anglican services, but refuses. He sees Marjorie and urges her not to leave the country to become a nun, but rather to serve God by remaining in England and continuing to assist priests.
A large crowd gathers for the execution, as the exciting story of the young priest, taken by his own father in the house of his former fiancée, draws far more interest than an ordinary hanging. Old Mr. Audrey is believed to be still ill, not having fully recovered from his fit, and there are rumours that Marjorie will be present at the execution. Robin makes a final speech, proclaiming his innocence of treason, and praying for Queen Elizabeth. He sees his father in the crowd, apparently penitent, and says the formula of absolution.

## Period covered {#period_covered}
No dates are given in the book, but the story begins in winter shortly after 26 December, Saint Stephen\'s Day, on which Robin\'s father declared his intention to leave the Catholic Church. Later, on the following Easter Day, news is received of the martyrdom of John Nelson (February 1578). Part II begins in autumn, two years after Robin has gone to Rheims, and Marjorie goes to London around Christmas time. The following Christmas, she hears that Father Campion has just been executed. His execution took place on 1 December 1581. The following summer, when Hugh (Nicholas) Owen is working on hiding places at Padley and in Marjorie\'s house, people talk of the recent executions of Mr. Ford, Mr. Shert, and Mr. Johnson. All three were executed on 28 May 1582.
When Robin arrives back in England as a newly ordained priest, it is just days before the arrest of Anthony Babington, which took place in August 1586. Robin\'s first visit to Marjorie following his ordination is in November, just two months after the execution of Babington on 20 September 1586. His attempt to see Queen Mary a second time is just around the time of her execution (8 February 1587). Robin hides with Mr. Ludlam and Mr. Garlick at the time of their arrest. They were executed on 24 July 1588. Robin is arrested and executed shortly after. The book ends with Robin\'s death, but Part II mentions that Marjorie \"was a middle-aged woman before the news came to her of \[Owen\'s\] death upon the rack.\" Nicholas Owen (incorrectly called \"Hugh Owen\" in the book) died on the rack in 1606

# Francisco António de Almeida
**Francisco António de Almeida** (c. 1702--1755) was a Portuguese composer and organist.
From 1722 to 1726 he was a royal scholar in Rome. In 1724, Pier Leone Ghezzi drew his caricature, describing him as \"a young but excellent composer of concertos and church music who sang with extreme taste\". He returned to Portugal in 1726, where he became organist of the Royal and Patriarchal Chapel.
In 1728, the first of his serenatas, *Il trionfo della virtù*, was performed in Lisbon at the palace of Cardinal João da Mota e Silva. His comic opera, *La pazienza di Socrate*, was performed at the royal palace in 1733. It was the first Italian opera in Portugal. A contemporary diarist states that Almeida composed music for the popular performances of presépios (Nativity scenes) in the Mouraria quarter of Lisbon. He probably died in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755.

# The Vicar of Vejlby (1931 film)
***Præsten i Vejlby*** (*The Vicar of Vejlby*) is a 1931 Danish film about a murder in a vicarage directed by George Schnéevoigt and based on a novel by Steen Steensen Blicher. Starring Henrik Malberg and Karin Nellemose it marked the debut of actor Aage Winther-Jørgensen. The film was a remake of the 1920 version by August Blom; and was remade again in 1972 by Claus Ørsted.
One year earlier, George Schnéevoigt had made the first Danish sound film of feature length; however, the dialogue was spoken in Norwegian. *Præsten i Vejlby* was the first feature-length sound film with Danish dialogue. Although the public had seen short Danish \"talkies\" since 1923, and experienced foreign features with sound for two years, the Danish language film was unique enough to create a huge success and make the film very profitable.

# Leslie Paul
**Leslie Allen Paul** (1905, Dublin -- 1985, Cheltenham) was an Anglo-Irish writer and co-founder of the Woodcraft Folk. \_\_TOC\_\_
## Life
### Early life {#early_life}
Born in Dublin on 30 April 1905, Leslie Paul grew up in Honor Oak, southeast London, the second child of advertising manager Frederick Paul and registered nurse, Lottie Burton. The family was fairly large, consisting of three sons and two daughters including younger siblings Joan and Douglas.
During his materially poor but culturally rich childhood, Paul contributed dramatic poetry recitations to family/neighbourhood entertainments. He later recalled performing a vignette called \'Two Coons\', which gave a sympathetic representation of African culture.
### Young manhood: between the wars {#young_manhood_between_the_wars}
By the summer of 1922, Paul was a junior ledger clerk employed in the city (near Aldgate) at the International Stores on a weekly salary of 22 s. 6 d.
In 1923 he joined his father\'s firm *Pantlin and Paul* in Fleet Street, hoping to find a way into freelance journalism. He actually succeeded in becoming editor of a magazine called \'The open Road\', but the magazine failed after only six months. During that six months Paul attempted to become a freelance journalist, and wrote the unpublished \'The Journal of a Sun Worshipper\'. During this period Paul came under the mentorship of Charles Watson, a retired unionist, bookseller and Swedenborgian. Watson loaned Paul books from his bookshop which were to have a major influence on Paul\'s political and social thinking. Another influence was Harold Laski, whose powers of oratory influenced Paul\'s thinking and writing style.
During the 1930s Paul worked as a freelance journalist. He was also employed in London educational and social work, as well as working on the continent with refugees. He was a tutor with the London County Council as well as the Workers\' Educational Association.
In 1932 Paul published his strongly autobiographical first novel \'Fugitive Morning\'.
Paul\'s political views at this time were inspired by H. G. Wells, William Morris, and Edward Carpenter, while his ideas about children\'s education were partly drawn from Rousseau\'s *Emile*. In addition, Paul was also active in the pacifist No More War Movement. In the 1930s, Paul co-edited the journal of the Federation of Progressive Societies and Individuals, later known as The Progressive League, of which he was a leading member. Later, Paul was an outspoken critic of the Axis powers, as well as the Soviet Union, of which he had formerly been an enthusiast, following the latter nation\'s signing of the Molotov--Ribbentrop Pact. After the outbreak of World War Two and the rise of fascism, Paul abandoned his pacifism and supported the British war effort.
### Creation of the Woodcraft Folk (1925) {#creation_of_the_woodcraft_folk_1925}
After World War I Paul had become deeply involved with scouting and related youth movements. He left the Scouts to join the Kibbo Kift Kindred but after a dispute with the Kibbo Kift leader, John Hargrave in 1924, some members challenged Hargrave\'s authoritarian tendencies. Paul was one of 32 signatories of a June 2024 leaflet produced to support a motion 'That the administration of Kibbo Kift during recent months has been profoundly unsatisfactory'. At the annual Kibbo Kift camp in 2024, a vote of no confidence was proposed in Hargrave, but its proposers lost; Paul and other members broke away. Paul, with Sydney Shaw, co-founded a new group, the Woodcraft Folk in 1925 (which is still active).
Although the founding and development of early Woodcraft Folk was the work of several people, Paul--- its most eloquent member and its first leader--- has been mythologised as its sole founder.
### World War II {#world_war_ii}
During the Second World War Paul served in the Middle East with the Army Educational Corps, and also taught at Mount Carmel College. When Simone Weil died in Ashford, Kent, in August 1943 Paul paid £12 for a burial plot. This event is commemorated in his poem \'Lady Whose Grave I Own\'.
The war prompted Paul to return to his childhood Christian faith. He claimed that Christianity was of major cultural and spiritual importance to reconstruction in his book The Annihilation of Man (1944), which received the Atlantic Award for literature in 1946. It had been nominated for the award by T. S. Eliot.
After the Second World War Paul became an active member of the Church of England. He rejected Woodcraft Folk, and wrote critically of their shortcomings in his 1951 autobiography, Angry Young Man, although he would later be reconciled with the organisation in the 1970s. Paul continued to write on youth subjects, co-authoring the Ministry of Education\'s Abermarle Report on youth services provision in 1960 with Richard Hoggart and Pearl Jephcott. Later, Paul became a professional clergyman. His most significant act within the Church was the production of his report on \"The deployment and payment of the clergy\" (1964), which led to extensive modernisation of the Church\'s organisational structure.
He was employed as tutor at the Ashridge College of Citizenship (1947--8), and later as Director of Studies at Brasted Place Theological College (1953--7). Paul served as lecturer in ethics and social studies at Queen\'s College, Birmingham (1965--70), and on the General Synod (1970--1975).

# Leslie Paul
## Life
### Later years {#later_years}
During the first half of the 1980s Paul was writer in residence at the College of St Paul and St Mary, Cheltenham, occupying a basement flat (accompanied by a black and white cat) in Shurdington Road. During this time he mentored young college and local writers through organized group readings, and co-edited the college poetry magazine, *Cresset*, to which he contributed his poetry, including *Meditations on the Four Quartets*.
In 1984 Paul bequeathed or sold his personal library, and students Kim Lidstone and Angus Whitehead catalogued the library before it was moved. One memorable discovery was a paperback edition of Richard von Krafft-Ebing\'s \"Psychopathia Sexualis\".
According to the *Oxford Dictionary of National Biography*, Paul spent his later years living in Madley, Herefordshire. He died in Cheltenham General Hospital on 8 July 1985, after a heart attack.
## Influences
During the first half of the 1980s Paul gave a series of talks on his life and the books that had affected him most profoundly. These included:
- Charles Dickens, *Great Expectations*, a novel that Paul read annually. He claimed to have read every Dickens novel by the age of ten.
- Rilke, *The Notebook of Malte Laurids Brigge*. Rilke\'s Duino Elegies also had a profound effect on Paul\'s own poetry and thinking.
- Boris Pasternak, *Doctor Zhivago* -- which Paul considered a`{{clarify|reason=incomplete sentence|date=December 2019}}`{=mediawiki} a major novel of the twentieth century, resonating with his own visit to Moscow in 1931.
- The writings of Richard Jefferies, a nineteenth-century nature essayist and mystic almost certainly inspired Paul\'s initial imaginings of the Woodcraft Folk.
- A series of experimental novels of Henry Williamson.
- Paul was proud to consider himself a surviving contemporary of Thomas Hardy.
In talks Paul recalled burning a large collection of his poetry as a young man, to his later regret, and he noted that, at almost eighty, he was able to recall minute details from the first twenty years of his life but almost nothing from the years between 1925 and 1945. He recalled T. S. Eliot\'s friendship and support, and fiercely disputed David Miall\'s suggestion that Eliot was sympathetic with fascism .

# The Rector of Veilbye
***The Rector of Veilbye*** (*\'\'\'Præsten i Vejlbye\'\'\'*) is a crime mystery written in 1829 by the Danish author Steen Steensen Blicher. The novella is based upon a true murder case from 1626 in the village of Vejlby near Grenå, Denmark, which Blicher knew partly from Erik Pontoppidan\'s Danish Church History (1741), and partly through oral tradition. Blicher\'s tragic tale has been adapted for the screen three times by Danish filmmakers.
In 2006, *The Rector of Veilbye* was included in the Cultural Canon of Denmark by the Danish Ministry of Culture. The ministry noted that \"the style illuminates elegiac pain and discomfort in an eerily intense drama, and the story is difficult to shake off.\" Danish literary historian Søren Baggesen stated \"Blicher is not just the first of Danish literature\'s great storytellers, he is one of the few tragic poets Danish literature has ever had.\"
## Synopsis
The story is told in the form of diary entries by Erik Sørensen, the judge and sheriff of the community of Vejlby. He writes about Søren Qvist, a village rector with a short temper, who is accused of murdering his unlikeable servant, Niels Bruus, when Bruus disappears after a violent argument. Sørensen is forced to investigate by Bruus\'s brother, but he does so reluctantly because he is engaged to marry the rector\'s daughter, Mette, in three weeks. Sørensen wants nothing more than to clear Qvist\'s good name and marry Mette. However, the judge becomes distraught when more and more witnesses offer indisputable evidence against the Rector Qvist. The rector, although he doesn\'t remember any murder, believes the evidence is undeniable, decides he must have committed murder and confesses---condemning himself to death. The judge is forced to pass sentence---the rector is beheaded---and Judge Sørensen\'s relationship with Mette, the woman he loves, becomes forever impossible. Mette leaves town and Sørensen is condemned to spend the rest of his life alone.
The story shifts to the diary entries of the new rector of Vejlby. Twenty years have passed when a beggar visits the rector and reveals that he is Niels Bruus, the alleged murder victim. Bruus has returned to the village only after the death of his brother, who had concocted the cruel hoax as revenge against the minister for rejecting him as a suitor for his daughter. The rector decides to withhold the truth from Sørensen---that he had executed an innocent man. However, Bruus tells the judge his story, and Judge Sørensen collapses from a heart attack. The next day, Bruus is discovered dead, lying across the grave of the Rector Qvist.
## Historic background {#historic_background}
The story was inspired by the trial of Pastor Søren Jensen Quist of Vejlby at Grenaa in 1626. The case revolved around the unexplained disappearance in 1607 of a farm laborer named Jesper Hovgaard who worked at Pastor Quist\'s rectory. Fifteen years later, in 1622, human bones were uncovered beside the rectory. It was suspected these were Hovgaard\'s remains, and rumors mounted that the Reverend Quist had murdered him. At official proceedings against Quist at Kalø Castle, two local men, who had histories of animosity toward Quist, testified that they witnessed the pastor murder Hovgaard while in a drunken rage. Quist was found guilty and executed by decapitation on July 20, 1626. In 1634, Quist\'s son who had become the Pastor of Vejlby discovered that the witnesses had been bribed and they were executed for perjury in 1634.
## Adaptations
- *Praesten i Vejlby* (1922 film); - a silent film directed by August Blom. Considered the most faithful to the original story.
- *Praesten i Vejlby* (1931 film) - directed by George Schnéevoigt. Considered to be Denmark\'s first sound film.
- *Praesten i Vejlby* (1972 film) - directed by Claus Ørsted

# António Teixeira (composer)
**António Teixeira** (14 May 1707 -- after 1769) was a Portuguese composer.
Teixeira was born and died in Lisbon. He was a royal scholar in Rome from 1714 until 11 June 1728, when he was elected chaplain-singer of Lisbon Cathedral and examiner in plainchant for the Lisbon patriarchy. He wrote some festive cantatas for members of the aristocracy and also composed the music for two Portuguese operas by António José da Silva. José Mazza stated that Teixeira composed seven operas, which were performed by large puppets at the Teatro do Bairro Alto in Lisbon between 1733 and 1739. His surviving theatrical music shows him writing in the contemporary Italian style. His most important sacred work is a 20-voice *Te Deum.* It alternates the polychoral style of the Roman baroque with an operatic style in the solo sections. Teixeira\'s sacred works are now in the archive of Lisbon Cathedral.

# Mianquan
***Mianquan*** (`{{lang-zh|c=綿拳|w=mien ch'uan|l=continuous boxing}}`{=mediawiki}) is a northern Chinese martial arts style which most likely originated in the province of Hebei. There is no definite given record of the creator or origin of the style.
The theory for this style is that defense becomes offense and softness turns to hardness, and the practitioner\'s attacks always follow after the opponent\'s. Soft attacks gain the upper hand for a practitioner and sets up the opponent for a harder, more dominant array of movements. It was one of the *wushu* styles demonstrated at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. Lan Suzhen performed a modified version of the art at the 1953 Tianjin Sports festival and it was generally well received.
The style is simple to use as it does not require advanced movements such as grappling, therefore only using punches and kicks. *Mianquan* requires balanced posture, with the majority of the body relaxed and a short-range attack span

# Mick Meagan
**Michael Kevin Meagan** (29 May 1934 -- 27 November 2022) was an Irish professional footballer. He was the first manager of the Republic of Ireland national team to be given total control over selecting players.
## Early days {#early_days}
Meagan grew up in Dublin, Ireland. After appearing in a match against a Liverpool district team in Dublin, Meagan was signed by Everton in 1952.
## Shamrock Rovers {#shamrock_rovers}
As well as playing for the club Mick managed the Milltown outfit from 1974 to 1976 as player manager. History was made in the FAI Cup in his last season at Rovers when he played on the same team as his son Mark who later went on to win the 1976 League of Ireland Cup and the 1978 FAI Cup [1](https://web.archive.org/web/20140908002525/http://www.shamrockrovers.ie/news/35-news/2622-milltown-1957-1987). Mark\'s cousin Tom played for Shelbourne in the 1980s.
## International career {#international_career}
Meagan\'s international debut came in May 1961 when he was chosen to play in the wing half position during a World Cup qualifier against Scotland at Hampden Park. Although Ireland lost 4--1, Meagan impressed enough to be selected to play in the return game the following week at Dalymount Park.
Meagan won 17 caps for Ireland.
## International management {#international_management}
In the 1968 European Championships qualifiers, Spain again proved an insurmountable obstacle for Ireland. However, the improvements convinced the FAI that it was time to appoint a team manager and, in 1969, Mick Meagan became the first manager of the Republic of Ireland national side.
Up until then, a team of selectors picked the side. However, this new professionalism didn\'t have any effect, as Ireland failed to win any of their qualifiers for the 1970 World Cup. The 1970s Ireland finished bottom of their qualification group for the 1972 European Championships, ending Meagan\'s tenure as manager.
Meagan also managed the amateur Republic of Ireland national team in the qualifiers for the 1972 Summer Olympics.
## Personal life and death {#personal_life_and_death}

# Seán Thomas
**Seán Thomas** (died 24 June 1999) was an Irish football manager.
## Club management {#club_management}
After a short playing career with Home Farm and C.Y.M.S., a left back who had to give up playing because of an injury, he attended Loughborough University for periods from 1956--1959 to learn all the aspects of successful coaching. Thomas had short spells as coach at Sligo Rovers and Home Farm before moving to Shamrock Rovers in 1961 for Rovers\' tour in the International Soccer League (1960-1965). In his 3 years at Glenmalure Park, he picked up one League of Ireland title, 2 FAI Cups and 2 League of Ireland Shields. After the 2--2 draw with Valencia CF at the Estadio Mestalla in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup on 10 October 1963, Thomas commented \"to say I am proud of the team is an understatement, I have never felt so proud of Shamrock Rovers as I have tonight. Their performance was the finest I have seen in my three years at the club\".
After a bust up with the Cunninghams (Rovers\' owners) at the end of the 1963--64 season, he quit the Hoops.
He was Bohs\' first ever manager as before Thomas Bohs had only ever had coaches or trainers and a Selection Committee of five actually picked the side. It was a homecoming of sorts for Thomas as he grew up on the Phibsborough Road which backed on to Dalymount Park and was an associate member of the club in his early years. Bohs had finished last the previous season and Thomas showed his credentials by managing the then still amateur Bohemians to a 3rd-place finish that season, just 5 points behind winners Drumcondra. This was a remarkable achievement considering the rest of the league was professional and Thomas was awarded Irish Soccer Writers\' Personality of the Year. The following season, Bohs once again finished 3rd in the league and this time, won the Leinster Senior Cup and Presidents Cup. The performances of his young players were noticed however and 8 of the amateur team left at the end of the season for the professional ranks; Turlough O\'Connor and Jimmy Conway for Fulham and Larry Gilmore and Kevin Murray for Dundalk. He signed a three-year contract in April 1966. The predicted collapse never happened and the \"Gypsies\" went one better and finished runners-up in the 1966--67 season.
Thomas\'s abilities did not go unnoticed and Boston Shamrocks enticed him across the Atlantic for the newly proposed American League. This move turned sour though as Boston failed to gain a place in the elite league and within a year, Thomas had returned to Dalymount Park. After the heroics of the previous seasons, Bohs finished rock bottom of the league without Thomas and were in dire straits financially. 1968/69 brought little joy on the field but off it, an historic EGM of Bohemian members in February 1969 saw the club\'s constitution changed to allow payment to players. Tony O\'Connell, Dinny Lowry and Johnny Fullam were soon signed and in 1970 Bohs won their first major trophy for 34 years when beating Sligo Rovers in the FAI Cup Final. This success meant Bohs would enter European competition for the first time.
During this time Thomas spotted Liam Neeson and he appeared as a substitute against Shamrock Rovers in a trial game.
Bohs finished fourth, third and third again in the next 3 seasons under Thomas\'s guidance with the young talents of Mick Martin and Gerry Daly flourishing. In July 1973, Thomas resigned as manager of Bohemians.
He would not be out of the game for long however and later had spells back at Shamrock Rovers, where he won the League Cup in 1976. This triumph was Rovers\' first trophy in seven years and it was the 7th different competition Thomas had won with the club.
He also managed Athlone Town and Bray Wanderers.
## International management {#international_management}
Sean Thomas had previously managed a League of Ireland XI when they defeated their English counterparts 2--1 at Dalymount Park in 1963. He also managed the Under 23 Republic of Ireland side on three separate occasions - all 0--0 draws with France.
Thomas took over as manager of the Republic of Ireland national football team in June 1973 after the resignation of Liam Tuohy. His reign as manager lasted for only one game in June 1973. The game was an international friendly versus Norway at Ullevaal Stadion and it ended in a 1--1 score draw.
Thomas was replaced in October 1973 when Johnny Giles was appointed as the full-time manager

# Henrik Malberg
**Henrik Malberg** (1873--1958) was a Danish actor of theater and Danish cinema who played his most noted role at the age of 80---the stoic authoritative farm owner in the Carl Theodor Dreyer classic film *Ordet*.
## Career
Henrik Martin Marinus Malberg was born in Aarhus Denmark on 4 December 1873. Originally trained as a mechanic, Malberg made his stage debut at the Århus Teater in 1896. Malberg worked with a touring company for several years but between 1902 and 1905 he was based with the Aarhus Theater. While playing the role of Arv in *Masquerade*, Malberg was noticed by the Danish actor Olaf Poulsen who brought him to Copenhagen. For the next five years, Malberg was the principal actor at the Dagmar Theater in Copenhagen. In 1910, he became director for a Danish touring company, then once again returned to the Dagmar (1912--1914) and afterwards, the Alexander Theater (1914--1917). In his later years, Malberg was employed at the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen.
Malberg made his screen debut in the 1910 silent film, *The Picture of Dorian Gray*. He appeared in several more films during the silent era for the major Danish directors of the period: George Schnéevoigt, Emanuel Gregers, Holger-Madsen and Lau Lauritzen, Sr. He also performed in three Fy & Bi comedies. Then in 1930, Malberg performed the lead role in the first purely Danish sound film as the priest in the crime mystery *Præsten i Vejlby*. A man of large stature and booming voice, Malberg was primarily a stage performer, and his film performances are described as imposing and theatrical. It was not until he was 80 years old that Malberg played his most memorable role---as the farm owner Morten Borgen in the classic Carl Th. Dreyer film *Ordet* (*The Word*). Malberg credited Dreyer with teaching him the art of film acting.`{{cquote|When for so many years one stood on a large stage, a huge square, and shouted lines over the audience, one must learn to tone it down
and find a quieter form in front of the camera. Dreyer taught me that. He is a magnificent director - he demands a lot, but also gives a lot.|30px|30px|Henrik Malberg at age 80|Ekstra Bladet 1954<ref name="trans">translated from Piil, Morten, ''Henrik Malberg'', Danske Filmshuespillere, Gyldendal, (2001), pg. 294-295</ref>}}`{=mediawiki}
Afterward Malberg travelled around Denmark to teach and to perform for school children. At the age of 84, he toured 55 Copenhagen area schools and a dozen in Jutland, giving a two-hour performance at each. `{{cquote|I am actually in such good shape, that I dream of performing on stage for my 85th birthday.|30px|30px|Henrik Malberg|Politiken, 1958<ref name="trans"/>}}`{=mediawiki}
Malberg died at age 84 after falling from a ladder. During his long career, Malberg appeared in 21 films. Malberg also cowrote two stage plays: *Bolettes Brudefærd* (with Orla Bock) and *Gamle Postgaard* (with Axel Frische). Malberg performed in the 1938 movie version of *Bolettes Brudefærd* with his brother Peter Malberg and Bodil Ipsen. Malberg was an honorary member of the Danish Actor\'s Union for which he sat on the board for 36 years.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
Malberg was the son of Peter Broch Malberg and Catrine Marie Schebye. His brother, Peter Malberg, was also an actor. Malberg married Anna Augusta Hansenmeyer on 11 May 1906. Malberg died on 28 September 1958. The address in Aarhus where Malberg was born houses a dinner theater.

# João de Sousa Carvalho
**João de Sousa Carvalho** (22 February 1745`{{spaced ndash}}`{=mediawiki}c. 1798) was the foremost Portuguese composer of his generation.
Born in Estremoz, he studied music from 1753 at the Colégio dos Santos Reis in Vila Viçosa, then from 1761 at the Conservatório di Sant\' Onofrio a Porta Capuana in Naples. In 1766 his setting of Metastasio's operatic libretto *La Nitteti* was performed in Rome. The following year, he joined the Irmandade de Santa Cecília at Lisbon and was appointed professor of counterpoint in the Seminário da Patriarcal, where he later served as *mestre* (1769--1773) and *mestre de capela* (1773--1798). In 1778, he became music teacher to the royal family. He died in 1798 in Alentejo at the age of 53.
His numerous church works are written in a style similar to that of Niccolò Jommelli and, sometimes, Haydn. Several of his *opere serie* and serenatas were performed at the royal palaces of Ajuda and Queluz. Some of his keyboard music survives and is occasionally played today.
His Opera Buffa *L\'amore industrioso* was discovered by conductor and scholar David Chernaik in the Biblioteca da Ajuda in manuscript, and performed in London and Oporto in 2000-2002.

# 500 Festival Mini-Marathon
The **500 Festival Mini-Marathon** (also known as the **OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon** for sponsorship reasons) is an annual road half marathon usually held the first Saturday in May in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States.
The race began in 1977 and became an official 500 Festival event in 1979. The 13.109 mi course currently starts in downtown Indianapolis, then heads west toward Speedway. It features a 2.5 mi lap around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, then returns to finish in the downtown area. From 1977 to 1992, the race was held the Friday before the Indianapolis 500. Starting in 1993, the race was moved to early May, the Saturday three weeks before the race, with rare exceptions. From 1994 to 2004, it was known as the **Indianapolis Life 500 Festival Mini-Marathon**.
The race regularly attracts runners and spectators from all 50 states and several countries. It includes a men\'s and women\'s running division, as well as men\'s and women\'s wheelchair entries. The **Delta Dental 500 Festival 5K**, a shorter version of the Mini utilizing the same start and finish lines, runs the same day. *Runner\'s World* named it among the \"Most Iconic American Races\" and in 2023, a *USA Today* readers\' choice contest named it the nation\'s best half marathon.
In 2020, the race was cancelled for the first time in its history, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Entrants from this year\'s were given invitations to the 2021 race.
## Selected history {#selected_history}
### 2008
The race resulted in the closest finish ever in the history of the event: a tie. Two Kenyan runners, Lamech Mokono and Valentine Orare, were declared co-winners, extending the streak of Kenyan victories to 13. In the women\'s race, Janet Cherobon successfully defended her title. Tony Íñiguez became a three-time champ in the wheelchair division.
### 2011 {#section_1}
The 2011 OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon took place Saturday May 7, 2011. A pair of newcomers brought home the men\'s and women\'s titles in the 2011 OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon in Indianapolis. Moroccan Ridouane Harroufi took the men\'s race, winning in 1:02.45, while Everlyne Lagat of Kenya captured the women\'s race with a time of 1:11:29, snapping the four-year win streak of fellow Kenyan Janet Cherobon-Bawcom, who took second.

In the women\'s race Emily Sisson broke U.S. half-marathon record finishing the race in 67:11.

# The Problem of the Covered Bridge
\"**The Problem of the Covered Bridge**\" (1974) is a mystery short story by Edward D. Hoch which was first published in *Ellery Queen\'s Mystery Magazine* (Dec 1974 issue). It is part of a sub-type of the locked room mystery known as an impossible crime story. It introduces the characters of Dr. Sam Hawthorn, Sheriff Lens, and the town of Northmont. It is included in Hoch\'s book *Diagnosis: Impossible: The Problems of Dr. Sam Hawthorne* (Crippen & Landru, 1996). It is also included in *All but Impossible!*, the famous`{{editorializing|date=July 2015}}`{=mediawiki} anthology edited by Hoch.
Hoch was inspired while looking at a watercolor landscape of a covered bridge; the story developed from his idea of a carriage riding into the covered bridge but never coming out the other side. He says it took him two days to work out the idea and develop the story. He created as the detective character a New England doctor in 1930s, and named him Sam after Sam Sheppard. The editors of *Ellery Queen\'s Mystery Magazine* liked the idea, but added a surname to distinguish him from Lillian de la Torre\'s famous`{{editorializing|date=July 2015}}`{=mediawiki} Dr Sam: Johnson. The editors also suggested that Hoch make his character speak in a country dialect.
This was probably the most talked about story of the series. Hoch wrote a later story, \"The Second Problem of the Covered Bridge\", which was published in *EQMM* December 1998. Three more stories about the character followed.
## Plot summary {#plot_summary}
The story is told in flashback by an older Dr. Sam Hawthorn to an unidentified listener. The flashback is set in March 1922, when Sam first came to the small town of Northmont in his new yellow Pierce-Arrow. He meets the Bringlow family, Jacob and Sarah, their daughters Susan and Sally, their son Hank, and Hank\'s fiancée Millie. Dr. Sam is treating Sarah, and has come to know the Bringlows well. He notices that Hank is reading copies of *Hearst\'s International* magazine, which includes the two-part Sherlock Holmes story, \"The Problem of Thor Bridge\". Hank leaves to take a jar of apple sauce to Millie\'s house in a horse and buggy. Sam and Millie follow Hank in another buggy. They are stopped briefly when Walt Rumsey drives his cattle across the road to drink from a pond, and Hank disappears into the distance while they are stopped. Sam and Millie follow Hank\'s tracks to a covered bridge. The tracks enter the bridge, but don\'t come out the other side. There is a smashed jar of apple sauce in the middle of the bridge. Hank, his horse and buggy have disappeared.
The Bringlows call Sheriff Lens, who declares that Hank is playing a trick, and will return eventually. They later find Hank at the side of the road in his buggy, but he is dead, shot in the back of the head. The reins had been tied down, indicating that Hank was already dead before the buggy came to a halt. Realizing that Walt Rumsey was driving his cattle to drink from a frozen pond, Dr. Sam investigates and tries to apply the solution of \"The Problem of Thor Bridge\" to the murder. When he works out what has happened, he gathers all of the suspects at the Bringlow house to reveal the solution.
Dr. Sam explains that the disappearance was planned as a joke by Hank, enlisting Rumsey\'s assistance. While the herd delayed Sam and Millie, Hank and Walt created fake buggy tracks into the covered bridge using a pair of extra buggy wheels. Then Hank hid in Walt\'s barn. Walt, having been in love with Millie and jealous of Hank, saw his opportunity to kill his romantic rival and cover up the crime

# Geraint Todd
**Geraint Wyn Todd** (born 8 August 1979) is a Welsh actor and director, originally from Pontypridd in the South Wales Valleys. He has played several major roles in Welsh dramas and comedies, most notably in *Cowbois ac Injans* (2006-2007), *Gwaith/Cartref* (2011-2012) and *Pobol y Cwm* (2011-2019).
## Career
Todd started his acting career when in school, with parts on television programmes such as *Halen yn y Gwaed* (*Salt in the Blood*), *Pam Fi, Duw?* (*Why Me, God?*) and a small part in *Pobol y Cwm*.
From 1997 to 2000 he attended the University of Wales in Cardiff, where he pursued a double major in History and English Literature. Although acting was always a passion, he said, he was aware of the difficulty that some actors have in finding work, so he determined to complete his degree as a backup plan. During his final year at university he played a role in \"Y Palmant Aur\". He worked steadily in acting thereafter and says that because of the enjoyment he got from it, after a year of earning his living as an actor he had decided that it was definitely what he wanted to do in life.
After graduation Todd worked on a variety of Cardiff drama series from 2000 to 2002, such as \"A Mind to Kill\", \"Y Tŷ\" *(The House)*, \"The Bench\" and \"Iechyd Da\". He also voiced a number of radio advertisements and spent a month going round the schools of Wales with a theatre education tour, on behalf of the Welsh Books Council *(Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru)*, in order to promote reading amongst young people. He also had the opportunity to present two series of a music and travel programme called \"Bicini\" which won the Young People\'s Award at the Celtic Film and Television Festival *(Féile na Méan Ceilteach)* in 2001.
In March 2002 he filmed \"Xtra\", a soap, in North Wales, returning briefly to Cardiff in early 2003 to do *Triongl* *(Triangle)*, a three-part dramatic series, then went back north for a second series of *Xtra* before moving back to Cardiff in late 2003.
In 2004 he worked with a friend, Gareth Bryn Evans, on a short film, \"Waking Sleep\", with a Welsh version made at the start of 2005. The film was also screened at the Cardiff Film Festival. He also worked on a drama series called *Amdani* and voiced a Welsh version of the popular Japanese anime *Beyblade*, of which a second series was recorded in early 2005.
Todd then played the leading role as David Manning (Manny) in *Cowbois ac Injans*, a Welsh comedy-drama broadcast on S4C in October 2006 and March 2007. He also played the role of Merlin the Magician in the 2008 television show *Herio\'r Ddraig*.
Todd joined the cast of *Pobol y Cwm* in 2011 as regular character Ed Charles, leaving in 2019. He has since directed episodes of the show, as well as the S4C show [Itopia](https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0cwjt47). Todd also portrayed teacher Steffan Young in drama *Gwaith/Cartref*, from the end of series 1 through series 2 (2011-2012).
Todd is also a professional photographer. He lives in Cardiff with his wife and their sons

Fenerbahçe reached to success with Mustafa Denizli, the first Turkish manager to win the league for Fenerbahçe. Southeastern side Gaziantepspor fought for the title for a long time during the season under the manager Erdoğan Arıca and Sakıp Özberk. They lost their hopes for title, when, in the 29th fixture, Fenerbahçe SK defeated them 4-3 at Şükrü Saracoğlu. Gaziantepspor were 3-0 ahead in the half-time.

# 1917 French Army mutinies
The **1917 French Army mutinies** took place amongst French Army troops on the Western Front in northern France during World War I. They started just after the unsuccessful and costly Second Battle of the Aisne, the main action in the Nivelle Offensive in April 1917. The new French commander of the armies in France, General Robert Nivelle, had promised a decisive victory over the Germans in 48 hours; morale in French armies rose to a great height and the shock of failure soured their mood overnight.
The mutinies and associated disruptions involved, to various degrees, nearly half of the French infantry divisions stationed on the Western Front. The term \"mutiny\" does not precisely describe events; soldiers remained in trenches and were willing to defend but refused orders to attack. Nivelle was sacked and replaced by General Philippe Pétain, who restored morale by talking to the men, promising no more suicidal attacks, providing rest and leave for exhausted units and moderating discipline. He held 3,400 courts martial in which 554 mutineers were sentenced to death and 26 were executed.
The catalyst for the mutinies was the extreme optimism and dashed hopes of the Nivelle offensive, pacifism (stimulated by the Russian Revolution and the trade union movement) and disappointment at the non-arrival of American troops. French soldiers on the front had unrealistically been expecting US troops to arrive within days of the U.S. declaration of war. The mutinies were kept secret from the Germans and their full extent was not revealed until decades later. The German failure to detect the mutinies has been described as one of the most serious intelligence failures of the war.

## Background
thumb\|upright=1.5\|`{{centre|The Aisne Front in 1917, site of the [[Nivelle Offensive]].}}`{=mediawiki} More than one million French soldiers (`{{nowrap|306,000 in 1914,}}`{=mediawiki} `{{nowrap|334,000 in 1915,}}`{=mediawiki} `{{nowrap|287,000 in 1916,}}`{=mediawiki} `{{nowrap|121,000 in}}`{=mediawiki} early 1917), out of a population of twenty million males of all ages, had been killed in fighting by early 1917. The losses had weakened the French will to attack. In April 1917, General Robert Nivelle promised a war-winning decisive victory. He proposed to work closely with the British Army to break through the German lines on the Western Front by a great attack against the German-occupied Chemin des Dames, a long and prominent ridge that runs east to west, just north of the Aisne River. Nivelle applied a tactic that he had used with success at the First and Second Offensive Battles of Verdun in October and December 1916, a creeping barrage in which French artillery fired its shells to land just in front of the advancing infantry to keep the Germans under cover until they had been overrun.
Nivelle\'s attack (the Second Battle of the Aisne) failed to achieve its main war-winning objective. At the cost of very high casualties, the offensive exhausted the German reserves and conquered some tactically important positions. A French tank attack had also been launched near Berry-au-Bac but half of the Schneider CA1 tanks engaged were knocked out. Nivelle was removed from his command on 15 May 1917 and was replaced by General Philippe Pétain. A similar battle would have been considered a draw in 1915 but in 1917, after the huge losses at the Battle of Verdun and the Battle of the Somme, the psychology of the soldiers was fragile. The strategic failure and the casualties caused a collapse in the morale of the French infantrymen, who had been so enthusiastic just a few days before. The U.S. entry into the war in early April 1917 was met with euphoria in France.

## Mutinies
The Nivelle Offensive failed to achieve its strategic objectives and by 25 April, most of the fighting had ended. On 3 May, the French 2nd Division refused to follow orders to attack and the mutiny soon spread throughout the army. For most of the time events were independent and were focused on specific demands, more liberty, more time with families and better conditions in cantonments. From `{{nowrap|16 to 17 May,}}`{=mediawiki} there were disturbances in a Chasseur battalion of the 127th Division and a regiment of the 18th Division. Two days later, a battalion of the 166th Division staged a demonstration and on 20 May, the 128th Regiment of the 3rd Division and the 66th Regiment of the 18th Division refused orders. Individual incidents of insubordination occurred in the 17th Division. Over the next two days, spokesmen were elected in two regiments of the 69th Division to petition for an end to the offensive. By 28 May, mutinies broke out in the 9th Division, 158th Division, 5th Division and the 1st Cavalry Division. By the end of May more units of the 5th, 6th, 13th, 35th, 43rd, 62nd, 77th and 170th Divisions mutinied and revolts occurred in `{{nowrap|21 divisions}}`{=mediawiki} in May. A record `{{nowrap|27,000 French}}`{=mediawiki} soldiers deserted in 1917; the offensive was suspended on 9 May.
Even in regiments in which there was direct confrontation, such as the 74th Infantry Regiment, the men did not harm their officers but refused to attack. Most mutineers were veterans who did not refuse to fight but wanted the military authorities to be more attentive to the realities of modern war. The soldiers had come to believe that the attacks they were ordered to make were futile. News on the February Revolution in Russia was being published in French socialist newspapers and anonymous pacifist propaganda leaflets were very widely distributed. In Soissons, Villers-Cotterêts, Fère-en-Tardenois and Cœuvres-et-Valsery, troops refused orders or to go to the front. On 1 June, a French infantry regiment took over the town of Missy-aux-Bois. Ashworth wrote that the mutinies were \"widespread and persistent\" and involved more than half the divisions in the French army. On 7 June, Pétain told British commander Sir Douglas Haig that two French divisions had refused to relieve two divisions in the front line.
In 1967, Guy Pedroncini examined French military archives and discovered that 49 infantry divisions were destabilised and experienced episodes of mutiny. Of the 49, nine divisions were gravely affected by mutinous behavior, 15 were seriously affected and 25 divisions were affected by isolated but repeated instances of mutinous behavior. Altogether, 43 per cent of the 113 infantry divisions of the Army had been affected by the end of 1917. The crisis of morale occurred mainly in the infantry, which had borne the brunt of casualties. Branches such as the heavy artillery, which was located far behind the front lines and those cavalry regiments that were still mounted, remained unaffected by the mutinies and provided detachments to round up deserters and restore order. Only 12 field artillery regiments were affected by the crisis of indiscipline.

## Repression
From 8 June, the military authorities took swift and decisive action: mass arrests were followed by mass trials. Those arrested were selected by their own officers and NCOs, with the implicit consent of the rank and file. There were `{{nowrap|3,427}}`{=mediawiki} *conseils de guerre* (courts-martial). In 1967, research by Guy Pedroncini found `{{nowrap|2,878 sentences}}`{=mediawiki} of hard labour and `{{nowrap|629 death}}`{=mediawiki} sentences but only `{{nowrap|49 of}}`{=mediawiki} these were carried out. The relative lack of rigour in repressing the mutinies provoked adverse reactions among some French divisional commanders. Pétain and French President Raymond Poincaré, on the other hand, made it their policy to mend the French Army\'s morale and to avoid acting in a way that could aggravate the loss.
When the news of the revolution in Russia and the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II reached France there were some demonstrations amongst Russian units in France. When an order from Russia to elect soviets was received on 16 April, the French Army whisked the Russians away from the front and moved them to central France. The Russians put on a big May Day parade and then mutinied. The First Russian Brigade was encircled by loyal Russian troops in September 1917 at Camp de La Courtine and bombarded with artillery, killing eight men and wounding 28. That episode became the basis of widespread false rumours that the French had bombarded French units. The Russian troops (about `{{nowrap|10,000 men}}`{=mediawiki}) were demobilised, transferred to labor battalions and the ringleaders were sent to North Africa in penal servitude.
Along with the deterrent of military justice, Pétain offered more regular and longer leave and an end to grand offensives \"until the arrival of tanks and Americans on the front\". They feared that infantry offensives could never prevail over the fire of machine-guns and artillery. Pétain restored morale by a combination of rest periods, frequent rotations of the front-line units and regular home furloughs.

## Aftermath
### Analysis
The most persistent episodes of collective indiscipline involved a relatively small number of French divisions; the mutinies did not threaten a complete military collapse. Because of the low morale in more than half of the French Army, it took until the early months of 1918 for the French Army fully to recover. Because of the mutinies, the French high command became reluctant to begin another offensive. Pétain\'s strategy in late 1917 was to wait for the deployment of the American Expeditionary Forces and the introduction of the new and highly effective Renault FT tanks, *J\'attends les chars et les Américains* (\"I am waiting for the tanks and the Americans\"). He had the support of Georges Clemenceau, who told President Woodrow Wilson in June 1917 that France planned \"to wait for the Americans & meanwhile not lose more\.... I like Pétain\... just because he won\'t attack\". Martin Evans wrote \"the French army would sit tight and wait for the Americans\". Christopher Andrew and Kanya-Forster wrote in 1981 \"Even after Petain\'s skilful mixture of tact and firmness had restored military discipline, the French army could only remain on the defensive and wait for the Americans\".
When the Americans arrived in France in the spring of 1917, they were inexperienced and US generals had orders not to accept responsibility for military zones. The US generals were ordered to \"understudy\" the British. This meant that for the summer and autumn of 1917, British troops had to take over the zones that the French had vacated and also teach American troops. The British tried to reinvigorate French morale by launching the Third Battle of Ypres, with varied success but pertinently relieving pressure on the French to the south. It was not until early 1918, when the US troops had completed their preparations for war, that French morale improved. The Allies withstood the German spring offensive and in the Hundred Days Offensive comprehensively defeated the German Armies, which with the British naval blockade of Germany paid dividends. Starved of food, Germany collapsed on the home front. Its leadership was compelled to sue for peace, as the army and the front were quickly pushed back.
### History
The French government suppressed news of the mutinies to avoid alerting the Germans or harming morale on the home front. The extent and the intensity of the mutinies were disclosed for the first time in 1967 by Guy Pedroncini, in *Les Mutineries de 1917*. His project had been made possible by the opening of most of the military archives, fifty years after the events, a delay that was in conformity with French War Ministry procedure. There were still undisclosed archives on the mutinies in the 21st century, which were believed to contain documents mostly of a political nature; they were not to be opened to researchers until 100 years after the mutinies, in 2017.`{{Update inline|date=March 2018}}`{=mediawiki}
Leonard Smith has argued that the mutinies were akin to labour strikes and could be considered, at least partly, political in nature. The soldiers demanded more leave, better food and objected to the use of colonial workers on the home front. They were also deeply concerned about the welfare of their families. The rather subdued repression, according to Smith, was part of the Pétain policy of appeasement. Concurrently, that policy saved the appearance of absolute authority exercised by the *Grand Quartier Général\]\]*, the French high command. Smith placed the mutinies into their wider ideological context and demonstrated the extent to which French soldiers and mutineers accepted the main tenets of Republican ideology
