# Dolly (French band)
**Dolly** is a rock band from Nantes, France. The group is popular in France but less well-known elsewhere. Dolly\'s vocalist Emmanuelle Monet has appeared in many collaborations, including a song together with Apocalyptica on the single \"Wie weit/How far/En Vie\". Dolly stopped their activity indefinitely after the death of Michaël Chamberlin in a car accident on 25 May 2005.
## History
Dolly was originally formed by Emmanuelle Monet, Thierry Lacroix and Michaël Chamberlin in 1989 under the name of **Dollybird**. 1991 they changed their name to **Dolly & Co** and made their debut album which was also named *Dolly & Co*. The actual *Dolly* was not born until *Nicolas Bonnière* joined the band in 1995. The name was then changed to **Dolly**. Emmanuelle Monet has now reformed her band with a new bassist, under the name of \"Manu\". [1](http://www.manu-friends

# Alison Watt (writer)
**Alison Watt** (born 1957) is a Canadian writer, and painter born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Watt grew up in Victoria, British Columbia. She studied biology (BSC) at Simon Fraser University and Creative Writing (MFA) at the University of British Columbia. She has worked as Education Coordinator at the VanDusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver, a tour leader in Central and South America, and a naturalist aboard the west coast schooner *Maple Leaf*, sailing among British Columbia\'s Gulf Islands, Haida Gwaii, the Great Bear Rainforest, and Alaska. She has taught art to adults since 1995, in her studio on Protection Island, Nanaimo, BC, in other venues. Since 2020 she has offered courses online, through her business ARTWORK ARTPLAY.
## Career
Watt\'s book *The Last Island: A Naturalist\'s Sojourn on Triangle Island* is a memoir about life and death on a remote seabird colony. The book won the Edna Staebler Award in 2003. She is also an award-winning poet. Her first book of poetry, *Circadia*, was published in 2006 by Toronto\'s Pedlar Press. In this collection, scenes of ordinary life unfold in a backdrop of light cycles, tides, and weather, and attempt to capture the lyricism of the processes of nature. Some are set in an Amazon Research station and explore taxonomy and diversity. In others, she moves past nature as a backdrop to delve more deeply into its inner, often invisible workings, such as photosynthesis and pollination, to release them from the language of science. Her novel, \"Dazzle Patterns\" set in Halifax during and after the explosion of 1917, and in the battlefields of France, is a story about loss, the resilience of the human spirit, and the transformative power of art. It was a finalist for the Amazon Canada First Novel Award.
*Dazzle Patterns* The book was a shortlisted finalist for the 2018 amazon.ca First Novel Award. Watt has illustrated her published books.
A fine artist, she has had many solo and group shows. Her work ranges from formal watercolour botanicals reflecting the blend of science and art of her background, to large semi-abstracts in acrylic. She has given numerous courses in botanical painting at Malaspina University-College in Nanaimo. In addition she has taught watercolour and acrylic painting in her studio on Protection Island

# Humidity Sounder for Brazil
The **Humidity Sounder for Brazil (HSB)** was an instrument launched on NASA\'s Earth Observing System satellite Aqua launched in May 2002. It was a four-channel passive microwave radiometer, with one channel at 150 GHz and three channels at 183 GHz. It was very similar in design to the AMSU-B instrument, except it lacked the 89 GHz surface sounding channel. It was intended to study profiles of atmospheric water vapor and provide improved input data to the cloud-clearing algorithms in the Unified AIRS Retrieval Suite, but the scan mirror motor failed on February 5, 2003. It worked with the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder and AMSU-A to form the AIRS Sounding Suite.
HSB was manufactured by Matra Marconi Space, Limited (MMS), in the United Kingdom under a contract with the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE).

# Floods in the United States before 1900
**Floods in the United States before 1900** is a list of flood events that were of significant impact to the country, before 1900. Floods are generally caused by excessive rainfall, excessive snowmelt, and dam failure.
## Prehistoric events {#prehistoric_events}
### Kankakee Torrent {#kankakee_torrent}
The Kankakee Torrent was a catastrophic flood that occurred between 14,000 and 18,000 years ago, resulting from the breach of a large glacial lake formed by the melting of the Wisconsin Glacier. The origin of the flood may have been prehistoric Lake Chicago, it may have come from further east, near what is today the center of the Lower Peninsula of the state of Michigan. The torrent carved out a channel that is currently followed by the Kankakee River and Illinois River. It also appears to have pushed the course of the Ohio River further south and the Mississippi River further west. The bluffs carved by the torrent can be seen at Starved Rock State Park and Kankakee River State Park. In both parks, smaller streams flow over waterfalls before they join the main river, a phenomenon known as hanging tributaries.
### Glacial River Warren {#glacial_river_warren}
Glacial River Warren drained Lake Agassiz in central North America through a series of floods about 9,700 years ago. The enormous outflow from this lake carved a broad valley now occupied by the much smaller Minnesota River and the Upper Mississippi River. Agassiz was a huge body of water, up to 600-700 ft deep, and at various times covering areas totaling over 110,000 mi2. Blocked by an ice sheet to the north, the lake water rose until about 9,700 years ago, when it overtopped the Big Stone Moraine, a ridge of glacial drift left by the receding glacier, at the location of Browns Valley, Minnesota. The lake\'s outflow was catastrophic at times, and carved a gorge through the moraine a mile (1.6 km) wide and 130 ft deep, which is now known as the Traverse Gap. While active, Glacial River Warren cut and eroded a bed up to 5 mi wide and 250 ft deep. This has left a valley which starts at Traverse Gap near Browns Valley, Minnesota, goes southeast to Mankato, then turns northeast to the Twin Cities.
### Maumee Torrent {#maumee_torrent}
The Maumee Torrent was caused by the draining of glacial Lake Maumee, the ancestor of present-day Lake Erie. The flood carved a channel up to 2 miles wide, which today is the site of the Little River in Allen County, Indiana.
### Missoula floods {#missoula_floods}
The Missoula floods are a series of flood outbursts that took place near the end of the last ice age. Much of the unique geography of eastern Washington, named the Channeled Scablands, is thought to have been carved during this period. A glacial lake, located on the Clark Fork River in western Montana is thought to have been the source. The glacial lake outburst floods are thought to have been the result of periodic sudden ruptures of the ice dam on the Clark Fork River that created Glacial Lake Missoula. After each ice dam rupture, the waters of the lake would rush down the Clark Fork and the Columbia River, inundating much of eastern Washington and the Willamette Valley in western Oregon. After the rupture, the ice would reform, recreating Glacial Lake Missoula once again.
### Bonneville flood {#bonneville_flood}
The Bonneville flood was a catastrophic flood 14,000 years ago, which involved massive amounts of water inundating parts of southern Idaho and Eastern Washington along the course of the Snake River. Unlike the Missoula Floods, which occurred during the same period, the Bonneville Flood happened only once. The flood is believed to be the second largest flood in known geologic history.
## Sixteenth century {#sixteenth_century}
### Flood of March 1543 {#flood_of_march_1543}
Hernando DeSoto\'s party was passing through a village at the confluence of the Mississippi River and Arkansas River on March 18 when the rivers flooded. The high water only allowed passage by canoe and inundated fields surrounding the town. The flooding reportedly lasted for 40 days.

## Seventeenth century {#seventeenth_century}
### California Flood of 1605 {#california_flood_of_1605}
The California Flood of 1605 was a flood that covered much of California.
## Eighteenth century {#eighteenth_century}
### New Hampshire flood -- 1740 {#new_hampshire_flood_1740}
The Merrimack River flooded in December. It is the first recorded flood in New Hampshire history.
### New Hampshire/Maine flood -- October 1785 {#new_hampshiremaine_flood_october_1785}
In New Hampshire, a significant flood struck the Cocheco, Baker, Pemigewasset, Contoocook and Merrimack rivers on October 23 which established records at Lowell which held until 1902. The Androscoggin River flooded significantly, which destroyed many homesteads in what would become Bethel, Maine. Those that survived the flood moved uphill into less valuable, 100 acre plots. Turner\'s first mill was destroyed during this inundation.
### Great Pumpkin flood -- October 1786 {#great_pumpkin_flood_october_1786}
Received its name due to the pumpkins that were washed away in the flood on October 5. It was a major flood in the Susquehanna River basin.
### Red River of the South flood -- 1800 {#red_river_of_the_south_flood_1800}
According to the Caddo tribe, a \"great flood\" moved down the river and reinforced the \"Great Log Raft\" on the river. This raft was a natural dam that increased water levels on some of the Red River tributaries. This process formed Caddo Lake.
## Early Nineteenth century {#early_nineteenth_century}
### Androscoggin flood -- 1806 {#androscoggin_flood_1806}
A significant flood along the Androscoggin River destroyed the first dam built in the town of Turner, Maine.
### Androscoggin flood -- 1811 {#androscoggin_flood_1811}
River flood carries away the toll bridge in Durham, Maine.
### Androscoggin flood -- 1814 {#androscoggin_flood_1814}
A large flood of the river destroyed all the mills in Turner, Maine.
### Waterville, Maine Freshet -- May 1832 {#waterville_maine_freshet_may_1832}
This flood washed away a portion of the Ticonic bridge and the Redington saw mill in Waterville, Maine.
### Androscoggin Freshet -- 1843 {#androscoggin_freshet_1843}
A flood along the Androscoggin swept the town of Jay\'s sawmill downstream.
### Great Flood of 1844 {#great_flood_of_1844}
The Great Flood of 1844 is the biggest flood ever recorded on the Missouri River and Upper Mississippi River in terms of discharge. This flood was particularly devastating since the region had little or no levees at the time. Among the hardest hit were the Wyandot who lost 100 people in the diseases that occurred after the flood. The flood also is the highest recorded for the Mississippi River at St. Louis. After the flood, Congress in 1849 passed the Swamp Act providing land grants to build stronger levees.
### Androscoggin flood -- 1846 {#androscoggin_flood_1846}
A flood along the Androscoggin River carried away the bridge in Durham, Maine. This reinstituted ferry service across the river.
### Potomac flood of October 1847 {#potomac_flood_of_october_1847}
A significant flood struck the Potomac basin, part of a major flood event which encompassed Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, and Virginia. Damage along the C&O Canal was worst between lock #7 and Widewater, from Great Falls to Pennyfield Lock, Point of Rocks to Dam #4, and surrounding Dam #5. Damages to the canal for the year, which included another flood that November, totaled US\$48,000 (1847 dollars).
### Sauvé\'s Crevasse -- 1849 {#sauvés_crevasse_1849}
This was the last of the annual spring Mississippi River floods to swamp New Orleans.
### Red River of the South flood -- August 1849 {#red_river_of_the_south_flood_august_1849}
A flood that appears to have been caused by a tropical cyclone led to the flood of record on the Red River of the South. This flood shifted the river to its present course, moving out of Natchitoches. A remnant of the river known as Cane River extends from Grand Ecore to Colfax.

# Floods in the United States before 1900
## Late Nineteenth century {#late_nineteenth_century}
### Midwest and Plains U.S. -- 1851 {#midwest_and_plains_u.s._1851}
The Flood of 1851 occurred after record-setting rainfalls across the U.S. Midwest and Plains from May to August, 1851. Hardest hit was the State of Iowa, where the city of Des Moines was virtually destroyed, with significant flooding extending to the Lower Mississippi River basin. Historical evidence suggest flooding occurred in the eastern Plains, from Nebraska to the Red River basin, but these areas were sparsely settled in 1851. Heavy rainfall also occurred in the Ohio River basin.
### Northeast flood -- April 1852 {#northeast_flood_april_1852}
In New Hampshire, the Winnipesaukee, Pemigewasset, Contoocook, Blackwater and Ashuelot Rivers went into flood. The Merrimack River at Concord reached its highest levels in nearly 70 years. A flood with higher waters than 1847 surged down the Potomac River. The worst damage was witnessed between Georgetown and Seneca, with breaches at the abutments of Dams 3 and 4 in Maryland, and Dam 6 in Virginia. Damage was estimated at US\$80,000 (1852 dollars).
### Susquehanna River flood -- September 1861 {#susquehanna_river_flood_september_1861}
Torrential rain and a logjam initiated the flood at the Susquehanna on September 28. Debris in the flood waters swept the Keating railroad bridge away. Sinnemahoning cemeteries were flooded, and some of its bodies moved downstream.
### The Great Flood of 1862 {#the_great_flood_of_1862}
The largest flood in the recorded history of Oregon, Nevada and California. It began in Oregon in November 1861 after weeks of continuous precipitation, flooding the communities on the Willamette River.
#### California
Beginning on December 24, 1861, it rained for almost four weeks. The largest flood in California\'s recorded history occurred from January 9--12, 1862. The entire Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys were inundated for an extent of 400 --, averaging 32 km in breadth. The rain created an inland sea in Orange County, lasting about three weeks with water standing 1.3 m deep up to 6 km from the river.
#### Nevada
Flooding began in December, 1861 in Carson Valley from a series of storms in the upper Carson River basin. By January 2, 1862, the town of Dayton and the area surrounding it had been flooded. Samuel Young of Aurora recorded in his diary that the snow and rain had fallen for twenty six days out of thirty since December 24, 1861.
### Androscoggin River flood -- 1863 {#androscoggin_river_flood_1863}
A large flood along the river destroys the bridge in East Turner, Maine.
### Saxby Gale flooding -- 1869 {#saxby_gale_flooding_1869}
The combination of the extreme high tide and a hurricane on October 4--5 was dubbed the Saxby Gale. The resultant flooding set records on the East Coast of the United States. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) named it a 100-year flood for the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, cresting 2 ft higher than Hurricane Agnes in 1972. Washington, DC, was also hit hard.
### Mill River flood -- May 1874 {#mill_river_flood_may_1874}
It rained significantly on May 16, 1874, in western Massachusetts. The earthen dam suddenly gave way. A large section of the east bank of the Mill River slid away and was sent downstream. The dam\'s gatekeeper mounted a horse and rushed down the valley to warn Williamsburg of what was to come. The gatekeeper\'s wife watched from their cabin as the dam exploded upward. Four riders galloped down the valley as fast as possible to warn people of the oncoming flood. Some residents fled to higher ground, while others refused to believe the awful news. Many never heard the warning. A 6 m tall flood swept everything away. Damage totaled US\$1 million and 144 people died.
Mill towns petitioned Boston for assistance. The legislators eventually granted \$120,000 to rebuild bridges and roads, which set a precedent for a state government to provide direct assistance after a natural disaster. The disaster led to improvements in public safety. The Massachusetts legislature imposed standards for the construction, maintenance, and inspection of dams. Engineering of large-scale public projects had to meet state mandates. Engineers became academically trained professionals. Four-fifths of the businesses in the Mill Valley were eventually rebuilt on their original locations. The mill owners gradually regained their financial standing and their place as pillars of society. Factories powered by the rushing Mill River continued to dominate life in the valley for another quarter century, until steam, and then electricity, replaced water power.
### Potomac flood of November 1877 {#potomac_flood_of_november_1877}
Higher than the event in 1852 by several feet, this flood affected the whole length of the C&O Canal. Since Conococheague and Antietam Creeks were flooding as well, the worst damage was done to the middle of the canal. Damage totaled US\$200,000 (1877 dollars). Navigation could not resume until the following April. A result of this flood was a telephone network being installed along the canal, which was, at the time, the longest telephone circuit in the world.

### The Great Flood of April 1881 {#the_great_flood_of_april_1881}
The Great Flood of 1881 struck Omaha, Nebraska and Council Bluffs, Iowa between April 6 and 27, when waters began to recede. Causing millions of dollars in damage, it crested two feet higher than ever-before measured on the Missouri River.
### Ohio River flood -- February 1884 {#ohio_river_flood_february_1884}
The level of the Ohio River in Parkersburg, West Virginia reached 54 ft, about 34 ft above its normal stage.
The Ohio River crested in Cincinnati at 71.1 ft on February 14.
### East Texas flood -- May 1884 {#east_texas_flood_may_1884}
This significant flood affected the Neches, Angelina, and lower Sabine River basins. Record stages were set during this event, roughly 2--3 feet (or almost a meter) higher than records from the 1900s.
### Canadian River Basin Flood - 1885 {#canadian_river_basin_flood___1885}
There are no available records of the flood of 1885, but old settlers say it was greater than any for many years prior to that date. An estimate made by Mr. F. Dobson. From cross sections and slope of bed of stream, using Kutter\'s formula, the maximum discharge is placed at 70,000 cubic feet per second for about one hour.
### Johnstown -- 1889 {#johnstown_1889}
In the nineteenth century, dams were maintained privately. The Conemaugh Dam was maintained by the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, and had been recently rebuilt in 1881. However, on May 31, 1889, after a night of heavy rain, the Conemaugh Dam broke and flooded the surrounding valley. Damage was extraordinary, and the dam was never rebuilt. Also known as the Conemaugh Calamity, after the name of the dam, this flood claimed 2,209 lives. Five days after the event, Clara Barton and her doctors and nurses arrived in Johnstown to tend to the survivors. It took 5 years for the town to recover.
To the east, it was also a major flood for the Susquehanna and its tributaries. The towns of Renovo, Lock Haven, Williamsport, and Sunbury were severely damaged. Damage was not limited to Pennsylvania, however. The flood eclipsed all previous records for water levels on the Potomac, which caused US\$300,000 (1889 dollars) to the C&O Canal. The canal would not recover from this flood until 1891.
### Oil Creek Flood -- 1892 {#oil_creek_flood_1892}
Heavy rains resulted in dam failures, causing rapid flooding in the Oil Creek area of Pennsylvania, primarily affecting Titusville and Oil City. Tankers holding highly flammable benzeine were located along the banks of the creek. The tankers were uprooted and emptied as a result of the flooding, and their contents ignited, flooding the impacted areas with fire as well as water. 54 Oil City residents and 72 Titusville residents died either from the fire or the flood waters.
### Androscoggin flood -- March 1896 {#androscoggin_flood_march_1896}

# Caldercruix railway station
**Caldercruix railway station** serves the village of Caldercruix in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is managed by ScotRail and is on the North Clyde Line. Originally opened by the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway in 1862, it was closed in 1956 then reopened in 2011 as part of the reopening of the Airdrie--Bathgate rail link.
## History
The station was originally opened as part of the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway on 11 August 1862 and closed on 9 January 1956.
## Reopening
The station was due to be reopened as part of the Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link on 12 December 2010. However, building work was held up by bad weather, and a bus service ferried passengers until the station was able to open. The reopening eventually took place on 13 February 2011.
The Airdrie-Bathgate Rail Link is a project created to enable Glasgow and Edinburgh to be linked via a fourth route by reopening the railway between the towns of Airdrie and Bathgate.
## Services
The station has a basic half-hourly off-peak service Mondays to Sundays, westbound to `{{rws|Airdrie}}`{=mediawiki}, Queen St Low Level and `{{rws|Milngavie}}`{=mediawiki} and eastbound to Bathgate and Edinburgh Waverley. In the evenings and on Sundays the westbound terminus is `{{rws|Helensburgh Central}}`{=mediawiki} rather than Milngavie

# United Nations Security Council Resolution 686
**United Nations Security Council resolution 686** was adopted on 2 March 1991. After reaffirming resolutions 660, 661, 662, 664, 665, 666, 667, 669, 670, 674, 677 and 678 (all 1990), the council noted the suspension of international military action against Iraq and that all twelve previous resolutions continued to have full force and effect.
The resolution demanded that Iraq implement the twelve resolutions in full; rescind its actions regarding the annexation of Kuwait; accept liability under international law for all loss, damage or injury in Kuwait resulting from its invasion; release all Kuwaiti or foreign nationals, alive or deceased, it held; and return all property seized.
Resolution 686 also demanded that Iraq:
: \(a\) end hostile and provocative actions by its forces against all Member States, including missile attacks;
: \(b\) arrange for a ceasefire at the earliest possible time by designating military commanders to meet with its foreign counterparts;
: \(c\) arrange for the release and immediate access to all prisoners of war under the auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross;
: \(d\) provide information identifying Iraqi mines, booby traps as well as any chemical and biological weapons in land or water.
It asked Iraq to inform the Secretary-General and Security Council when it has undertaken actions set out in the current resolution.
The Security Council also directed agencies of the United Nations, and requested other international organisations, to co-operate with the Government of Kuwait in the reconstruction of its country.
Resolution 686 was passed by 11 votes to 1 against (Cuba) with three abstentions from China, India, and Yemen.
Iraq later made concessions on 5 March relating the resolution, including the repeal of Iraqi laws and regulations in Kuwait

# Sanford Seacoast Regional Airport
## History
The Sanford Airport began as an airfield constructed by the Sanford Mills in the 1930s, with a single airstrip and hangar. With the entry of the United States into World War II in 1941, the airfield was expanded by the United States Navy in 1942 and formally commissioned as Naval Auxiliary Air Facility Sanford in 1943. It served as one of several secondary airfields to the primary Naval Air Station Brunswick. Its runway network was enlarged and paved, and barracks and a control tower were built on what is now the southwestern side of the airfield. A torpedo squadron and a fighter squadron were stationed here in 1944, and the field was used for training exercises. After the war ended, the facilities were largely mothballed, but remained staffed until the 1960s. Of the structures built by the Navy, only a hangar and the control tower/administration building survived. The latter, once listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was demolished in 2006--2007 because it was in poor condition and the tower was deemed a hazard to aviation.
In 1955, Colonial Aircraft began production of the Skimmer amphibian in Sanford, Maine. Later in 1959, the type certificate for the Skimmer was sold to the Lake Aircraft Corporation. Lake continued to produce modified versions of the Skimmer in Sanford as the Lake Buckaneer and Lake Renegade until 1994. Six record-breaking flights departing from Sanford Airport took place in Lake Renegades, piloted by Robert Mann and Peter Foster in 1988 and 1989. The flights set new altitude records for piston amphibians and seaplanes, flying to a maximum altitude of 27,300 feet

# Tom James (rower)
**Thomas James** MBE (born 11 March 1984) is a British rower, twice Olympic champion and victorious Cambridge Blue. In a British coxless four in 2012 he set a world\'s best time which still stood as of 2021.
## Background and early life {#background_and_early_life}
James was born in Cardiff and spent part of his childhood in Berlin, Germany as his father was an officer in the British Army, but considers his hometown to be the village of Coedpoeth, near Wrexham.
James was educated at Packwood Haugh School near Ruyton-XI-Towns, and then at The King\'s School, Chester. He was a keen sportsman and played football and rugby before being diagnosed with Osgood--Schlatter disease, forcing him to switch to rowing instead. While at King\'s, he was schoolmates and shared a boat with fellow Olympian Chris Bartley. He went up to Trinity Hall, Cambridge in 2002, obtaining his undergraduate degree in engineering in 2007.
## Rowing career {#rowing_career}
### The Boat Race {#the_boat_race}
Whilst at Cambridge University, James was a member of Cambridge University Boat Club (CUBC) and took part in The Boat Race four times in five years between 2003 and 2007 (taking a year off to train for the 2004 Summer Olympics). He was elected president of CUBC for the 2006--07 academic year.
Having concentrated his efforts on the Olympics in 2004, James returned to Cambridge in 2005. Both universities had extremely strong intakes that year, with Cambridge boasting several world champions and the Oxford crew including Olympic silver medalist Barney Williams. Oxford won the epic contest by 2 lengths in a time of 16 minutes 41 seconds. In 2006, the weather was particularly bad, and Cambridge lost again, this time by 5 lengths.
After three years of disappointment, James returned to the boat race one final time in 2007, this time as President of CUBC. In a race where Cambridge were strong favourites based on the team members\' individual successes, the light blues showed their class by staying in touch while Oxford had the advantage, and pushing on with tidier rowing from the halfway point. They rowed on to win by a length and a quarter, finally providing James with a victory at the fourth attempt.

## Rowing career {#rowing_career}
### International
Having won a bronze medal in 2001 with GB Junior eights and silver in 2002 at the World Rowing Junior Championships, James won his first senior international vest in 2003. He stroked the Great Britain Eight, which won a bronze medal at the World Championships in Milan.
Following this success, James decided that training for the Olympics and studying for his engineering degree were incompatible. He took a year off from his studies at Cambridge, and trained with the Leander Club in Henley-on-Thames. The buildup to the Olympics for the GB Men\'s Rowing Squad was somewhat disrupted due to illness, injury and variable form. James fell ill the night before the Heat in the Olympic competition -- a devastating blow and whilst he returned for the repechage, the crew failed to make the final.
After taking a break from international rowing, James returned to the British Team in 2006, forming a pair with Oxford rival Colin Smith. The duo raced to a surprise silver behind reigning world champions New Zealand at the Lucerne World Cup regatta to earn selection for the world championships at Eton\'s Dorney Lake, making the final and finishing sixth.
In Summer 2007 he was subbed in for Alex Partridge in the flagship British rowing boat, the coxless four, which won Henley Royal Regatta in July 2007 and then took silver seven days later in the Lucerne World Cup Regatta.
He was then selected in the GB coxed four for the world championships in Munich, but was promoted to the bow seat of the eight when the original incumbent fell ill on the morning of the heats. The crew made the final, securing GB qualification for the Beijing Olympics, and took the bronze behind Canada and Germany.
Reunited with Colin Smith in a pair, James finished second at the GB final trials regatta in March, 2008, to put himself well on course for a place at his second Olympics. He was then selected for the GB coxless four along with Andy Triggs-Hodge, Steve Williams and Pete Reed.
After a difficult early season, with both James and Triggs-Hodge picking up injuries, the four raced together for the first time in Poznan in the final World Cup event of the season, finishing third. The GB four then dominated their heats and semi finals at the Olympics Beijing. In the final, however, the Australian four led for most of the way. Only a dramatic push by the British boat in the closing stages made the difference; they won the nail-biting final to become gold medallists in a time of 6 minutes 6.57 seconds, beating the Australian four by 1.28 seconds.
At the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled, Slovenia, James raced in the men\'s four with crew-mates Matt Langridge, Ric Egington and Alex Gregory winning a gold medal ahead of Greece in second and Australia in third.
During the 2012 World Rowing Cup in Lucerne, James rejoined Gregory in the fours while Reed and Triggs Hodge were switched over from the pairs. They set a new world record during the heats at the second regatta with a time of 5:37.86. At the Olympics, they beat main rivals Australia in the semi-finals, and then repeated their win in the final. For James, Reed and Triggs Hodge, it was their second gold medal in the category, following their win in Beijing four years prior.
## Honours and recognition {#honours_and_recognition}
All British gold medal winners at the 2012 Olympics were honoured with appearing on Royal Mail postage stamps, and having a post box in their home town painted gold. James\' \"golden\" post boxes are located in Wrexham and Coedpoeth.
He was awarded the Freedom of the Borough of Wrexham after successfully defending his gold medal in the coxless fours event at the 2012 Olympics.
He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours.

## 2007 controversy
The staging of the 2007 IDL was filled with controversy. There were several format changes, disagreements and even court cases surrounding the event.
In 2006 the BDO secured an agreement for 28 of their players to participate in the event until 2010. However, as the popularity of the PDC circuit grew in the Netherlands, the organisers decided to renege on the deal and invite only 12 BDO players. The remaining 20 players would qualify from the PDC including their top 12 ranked players plus four wildcards and four from a PDC/PDPA qualifying event.
This led to a threat from the BDO to take court action against the organisers who wanted their agreement upholding. A compromise was reached and the organisers introduced a preliminary round. The original 16 BDO/WDF players who believed they had missed out were to be joined by a further four automatic qualifiers from the PDC Order of Merit and a further four players from an already confirmed qualifying event in April. This expanded the field from 32 to 56 players.
However the sponsors of the four wildcard players (Michael van Gerwen, Mervyn King, Jelle Klaasen and Vincent van der Voort) were upset that their players had been relegated to the preliminary round when they felt they had an agreement to be automatically into the televised stages. The BDO also felt that all 28 of their players should not have to face a preliminary round. The dispute was resolved on April 25 when a Dutch court rejected the claims of the four wildcard players. Three of the players managed to qualify from the preliminary round with only van der Voort missing out.

# Armadale railway station (Scotland)
**Armadale railway station** is a railway station serving the town of Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland. It is served by trains on the North Clyde Line.
## History
The first station opened with the line on 11 August 1862. It was opened by the Bathgate and Coatbridge Railway which was then absorbed by the North British Railway. Becoming part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923, it passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, and was then closed by the British Transport Commission with the withdrawal of passenger services on 9 January 1956.
## Reopening
The station was reopened as part of the Airdrie--Bathgate rail link, a project created to enable Glasgow and Edinburgh to be linked via a fourth route by reopening the railway between Airdrie and Bathgate. The very severe winter weather of November and December 2010 delayed completion of construction work, and the station was initially served by a replacement bus service. The station was reopened on 4 March 2011.
The new station is sited on the northeast side of the road bridge on the B8084 (Station Road), whereas the original station was situated just to the southwest of the bridge - the new location being to allow for car park construction and to comply with station curvature requirements (the original station was on a curve).
## Services
The station has a half-hourly off-peak service Mondays to Sundays, westbound to `{{rws|Airdrie}}`{=mediawiki}, Queen St Low Level and `{{rws|Milngavie}}`{=mediawiki} and eastbound to `{{rws|Bathgate}}`{=mediawiki} and Edinburgh Waverley. In the evenings and on Sundays the westbound terminus is `{{rws|Helensburgh Central}}`{=mediawiki} rather than Milngavie

# Ștefan Radu
**Ștefan Daniel Radu** (`{{IPA|ro|ʃteˈfan daniˈel ˈradu}}`{=mediawiki}; born 22 October 1986) is a Romanian former professional footballer who played as a left-back or a centre-back.
After a stint in his home country with Dinamo București during which he earned three domestic honours, including one national title, Radu moved to Lazio on an initial loan in 2008. He spent the rest of his career with the *Biancocelesti*, gaining team captaincy and winning the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana on three occasions each. Radu became the leading appearance maker for Lazio in all competitions in 2021, and two years later retired from football.
Radu registered his senior debut for the Romania national team in 2006, and made thirteen appearances before retiring early in 2013, at age 26.
## Club career {#club_career}
### Dinamo București {#dinamo_bucurești}
Ștefan Radu was born on 22 October 1986 in Bucharest, growing up in the Colentina neighborhood. On 27 April 2005, Radu made his debut for Dinamo București under coach Ioan Andone in a 3--0 league victory over FCM Bacău. In the 2006--07 Liga I season, helped by the fact that Dinamo had a defender emergency, he was established in the starting eleven by coach Mircea Rednic, making couple in the central defense alongside Cosmin Moți and eventually managing to win the Liga I trophy that season, also managing to pass the group stage of the 2006--07 UEFA Cup, reaching the sixteenths-finals where the team was eliminated with 3--1 on aggregate by Benfica. In the following season Dinamo had the objective of reaching the Champions League group stage, in the 1--1 draw from the first leg of the third qualifying round against Lazio Roma, Radu touched the ball with his hand in the penalty box after a corner kick but goalkeeper Bogdan Lobonț saved the penalty kick executed by Tommaso Rocchi. However the qualification was lost after the 3--1 defeat from the second leg.
### Lazio
In January 2008, Italian Serie A side Lazio signed Radu on a €1 million loan deal until the end of the 2007--08 season. Shortly after joining the squad, he made his Lazio debut in a Coppa Italia match against Fiorentina. He was a revelation for Delio Rossi\'s team, as the young starlet added extra quality to the backline and started all the matches he featured in. At the end of the season, Radu signed with Lazio permanently for a €3.5 million transfer fee.
On 17 June 2011, Radu signed a five-year contract extension. He became an important player for Lazio, a team which he captained during the 2011--12 season. Radu won his third trophy with Lazio in the 2012--13 season when they defeated rivals Roma in the Coppa Italia final. In 2017, Lazio won the Supercoppa Italiana, as they beat Juventus 3--2. On 15 May 2019, Lazio beat Atalanta in the 2018--19 Coppa Italia final. On 22 December 2019, Lazio beat Juventus in the 2019 Supercoppa Italiana, with help from Radu. He retired at the end of the 2022--23 season.
## International career {#international_career}
Ștefan Radu played 13 games at international level for Romania, making his debut on 15 November 2006 under coach Victor Pițurcă who sent him on the field in the 89th minute in order to replace Răzvan Raț in a friendly which ended with a 1--0 victory against Spain. He played two games at successful Euro 2008 qualifiers, being also part of the squad that went to the final tournament without playing. He also played one game at the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, making his last appearance for the national team on 22 March 2013 in a 2--2 against Hungary at the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. Radu retired from international football in April 2013, citing his strained relationship with the national football federation. Despite continuing to be one of the most prominent Romanian expatriate players in later years, he did not reverse his decision.
On 25 March 2008 he was decorated by President of Romania Traian Băsescu for Romania\'s successful Euro 2008 qualifying campaign with the Medalia \"Meritul Sportiv\" -- (The Medal \"The Sportive Merit\") class III.
## Controversies
On 6 April 2024, during a football match between Roma and Lazio, Radu was spotted in attendance wearing an S.S. Lazio emblazoned hoodie where the \"S.S.\" was spelled \"SS\" and stylized in the same manner as the Nazi paramilitary organization Schutzstaffel. It was placed within the context of far-right extremism in football, which has attracted more attention in the 2020s

# Stormont Estate
The **Stormont Estate** is an estate in the east of Belfast in Northern Ireland. It is the site of Northern Ireland\'s main Parliament Buildings, which is surrounded by woods and parkland, and is often referred to in contemporary media as the metonym \"Stormont\".
The Stormont Estate is within the townland of Ballymiscaw.
## The Cleland family {#the_cleland_family}
The Stormont Estate was established by the Reverend John Cleland (1755--1834) in the early nineteenth century. He built Stormont Castle in 1830 which was described as a \"large plain house with very little planting about it\". In 1858 the exterior of the castle was redesigned in the Scottish Baronial style by the local architect Thomas Turner. Some ancillary buildings were added at this time including a lean-to glasshouse and stables. A terraced garden and a walled kitchen garden were also created. When Cleland died in 1834 the estate went to John Cleland (1836--1893) and then finally to Arthur Charles Stewart Cleland (1865--1924).
The origin of the name \"Stormont\" is unclear. It may be a shortened version of \"Storm Mount\" (recorded as the name of the estate in 1834), or it may have been taken from the name of a district of Perthshire. The Perthshire name is Gaelic in origin, and is believed to mean \"place for crossing the mountain\" (from *star monadh*). There is also a Stormont in County Limerick, and Stormounts in counties Armagh and Down.
The Cleland family moved out in 1893 to live abroad and the estate was let to a tenant. When the tenancy ended, initial efforts to sell the estate failed.

## Government ownership {#government_ownership}
In 1921, the newly formed Parliament of Northern Ireland was looking for a site for its Parliament Buildings. Parliament authorised the Government of Northern Ireland to purchase the 224-acre Stormont Estate for about £21,000; this included 100 acres of woodland. Stormont Castle became the headquarters of the Government of Northern Ireland. Stormont Castle also became the official residence of the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland.
Ralph Knott designed Stormont House in a Neo-Georgian style. The house was completed in 1926, and a two-storey administration block to its east was finished by 1939. A flat-roofed single-storey extension was added in about 1975. It was listed as a historic building in 1987.
Parliament Buildings at Stormont were designed by Sir Arnold Thornely in Greek classical style. They were opened by Edward, Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII, in 1932.
The main approach to Parliament Buildings is along Prince of Wales Avenue. On this road stands a bronze statue of the barrister and Unionist politician, Lord Carson, on a stone plinth and base. This was erected in 1933 and designed by the sculptor Leonard Stanford Merrifield.
Detached two-storey stone lodges and gate screens to Stormont Estate were built about 1932, on the Upper Newtownards Road and on Massey Avenue. They were designed by Sir Arnold Thornely. Both were listed as historic structures in 1987.
A single-storey hipped roof Neo-Georgian style pavilion located on the north side of Massey Avenue, just inside the entrance, was built in 1936 by the Ministry of Finance. It was designed by Sir Arnold Thornley. Another single-storey hipped roof Neo-Georgian style pavilion on Massey Avenue was built to the east side of the Lord Carson Memorial at some point between 1938 and 1959. The architect is not known.
Dundonald House was designed in the early 1960s by Belfast-born architect Robert Hanna Gibson. It is in the international style.
The tomb of Viscount Craigavon, the first Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, and his wife, Cecil, is on the east side of Parliament Buildings. It is a solid block of Portland limestone with stepped top and corners on a shallow plinth base, set on a stepped platform. The tomb was designed by Roland Ingleby Smit and was completed in 1942.

# Ontario Highway 67
**King\'s Highway 67**, commonly referred to as **Highway 67**, is a provincially maintained highway in the northern portion of the Canadian province of Ontario that connects Highway 11 at Porquis Junction with the town of Iroquois Falls. The two-laned highway is 10.9 km long and passes through farmland and swamps en route to the town. Highway 67 was assumed by the Department of Highways in 1937, shortly after the Department of Northern Development merged with it that year. The route originally extended south of Highway 11 to Highway 101 west of Timmins, but this portion was decommissioned as a provincial highway in 1998.
## Route description {#route_description}
Highway 67 currently travels from Highway 11 at Porquis Junction to the community of Iroquois Falls, where it connects with the former Highway 577 and Highway 578. The 10.9 km route is predominantly rural, ending at the urban centre of Iroquois Falls. Aside from that town, the only other community on the two-laned route is Porquis Junction. The length of Highway 67 is 9.8 km, located entirely within Cochrane District.
The highway begins at Highway 11 just northwest of Porquis Junction, travelling east and immediately crossing a railway track before curving north. It turn to the northeast and travels southeast of and parallel to another railway for almost the entirety of its journey. Although there is some farmland alongside the highway south of Brousseau Road, the portion north of it is dominated by swampland. In the centre of these swamps lies the small hamlet of Onagon, shortly after which the highway enters Iroquois Falls as Ambridge Drive. At Main Street, the route turns east and diverges from the railway, passing through the downtown portion of Iroquois Falls before ending at former Highway 578 on the eastern edge of the town.
Like other provincial routes in Ontario, Highway 67 is maintained by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario. In 2010, traffic surveys conducted by the ministry along a single portion of the route showed that on average, 1,950 vehicles used the highway daily along the section between Highway 11 and the Iroquois Falls southwestern town limits.
## History
The Timmins -- Iroquois Falls Road was first assumed by the Department of Highways on June 30, 1937, shortly after the merger with the Department of Northern Development, at a length of 67.6 km. At that time, the highway travelled along a portion of what is now Highway 101 west of Timmins. The construction of highway 101 during the mid-1950s resulted in Highway 67 being truncated to a junction between Hoyle and Shillington. The route was also diverted onto the Barbers Bay Cutoff; the old routing was redesignated as Highway 610. Between then and 1997, the highway was 35.5 km long.
However, budget constraints brought on by a recession in the 1990s resulted in the Mike Harris provincial government forming the *Who Does What?* committee to determine cost-cutting measures in order to balance the budget after a deficit incurred by former premier Bob Rae. It was determined that many Ontario highways no longer serve long-distance traffic movement and should therefore be maintained by local or regional levels of government. The MTO consequently transferred many highways to lower levels of government in 1997 and 1998, removing a significant percentage of the provincial highway network. On January 1, 1998, 24.6 km of Highway 67 was transferred to Cochrane District, leaving only the section between Highway 11 and Iroquois Falls. The section between Highway 101 and Highway 11 is now known as Municipal Road and Jack Pine Road

# Johnny Stecchino
***Johnny Stecchino*** is a 1991 Italian comedy film directed by, co-written by and starring Roberto Benigni in dual roles. This film is one of Benigni\'s many collaborations with co-star and wife, Nicoletta Braschi. It was the highest-grossing film of all time in Italy with a gross of 39 billion liras.
This film follows the life of Dante, a quirky school bus driver (Benigni) for students with Down syndrome, who bears a striking resemblance to Johnny Stecchino, an Italian mafioso who is wanted by Sicilian mobsters for treason and murder. Dante meets Maria (Braschi), Johnny Stecchino\'s wife, who plans to trick the Sicilian mobsters into kill Dante in place of Johnny.
The U.S. version released in theaters and on VHS is about 20 minutes shorter than the full Italian version. It trims several conversations including the final scene with Lillo accidentally sniffing cocaine.
## Plot
After unsuccessfully hitting on his co-worker and other women at a soiree, Dante meets Maria after she nearly runs him over with her car. Maria is taken aback by Dante\'s striking resemblance to her husband Johnny Stecchino, an Italian mobster wanted by the Sicilian Mafia for killing mobster Cozzamara\'s wife and despised by the locals of Palermo for treason.
During the day, Dante works in Cesena as a bus driver for students with Down syndrome, defrauds the government into receiving disability payments for a faked disability, and steals bananas from greengrocers. Dante\'s best friend is Lillo, a student with Down syndrome and diabetes, whom he has to constantly deter from eating sweets.
Dante runs into Maria a second time near his apartment. Maria, unbeknownst to him, has tracked him down in a plan to turn him over to the Sicilian mafia so they can kill him, thinking that he is Johnny. Maria begins to make Dante\'s appearance more identical to Johnny Stecchino, by dressing him in a similar suit and tie, placing a faux mole on his face and convincing him to have a toothpick in his mouth at all times (\'stecchino\' is toothpick in Italian). Maria then begins to refer to Dante as \'Johnny\' or \'my Johnny\'. She later invites Dante to her residence in Palermo where she begins to plan his murder so she and the real Johnny Stecchino can escape to South America.
Upon arriving at the train station, Dante meets Maria\'s \'uncle\' D\'Agata, a cocaine user. When a naïve Dante asks about cocaine, D\'Agata gives the excuse that he is merely taking his diabetes medicine. Later, while attempting to steal a banana from local greengrocer Nicola Travaglia, mobsters spot Dante and, confusing him for Johnny, begin shooting at him. He dodges the hail of bullets, running to the police station where he relates his understanding of the incident to the police chief (that after he stole a banana, the greengrocer had guards try to shoot him for theft). Bewildered by the story, the chief tells him that he has committed a serious crime, but by confessing and turning in the banana, he will be forgiven.
After leaving the police station, Dante runs into Judge Cataratta who, mistaking Dante for Johnny, questions his motives in confessing to the police and turning over evidence. Cataratta advises him to forcefully take back the evidence and demand the chief print the story on the front page of newspapers, denouncing his confession. Maria finds Dante strolling through the streets unharmed and, though surprised, returns with him to her residence. Johnny\'s belief that Dante bears no resemblance to him is only reinforced upon hearing that Dante spent the morning in Palermo going unnoticed by locals.
As a final attempt to determine if the public will mistake him for Johnny, Maria takes Dante to an opera. Upon arriving, Dante sees fruit sold at a concession stand. The vendor offers him a banana, but Dante tries to pay, fearful of the earlier uproar. While waiting for the show to commence, the crowd interrupts the show, beginning to jeer Dante, thinking he is Johnny, which Dante confuses as a public reprimand for not paying for the banana. When the crowd begins to shame Maria as an accomplice, Dante shouts down all the hecklers to respect her honor. He is escorted by the police to a private party where he meets a politician, an accomplice of Johnny, who will protect him if they keep their meeting a secret. As a gift, he gives Dante a bag of cocaine. Maria meets up with Dante and both retreat back to her residence. The next day, Maria meets Cozzamara to plan the assassination of Johnny Stecchino.
On the day of the planned hit, Maria learns of Johnny\'s plan to kill her \'uncle\' after Dante has been killed, upsetting news to Maria. She drops off Dante at a barbershop owned by Cozzamara. Cozzamara\'s men begin to suspect Dante is not Johnny when they notice the faux facial mole, and they ask him about his mother, a question which would have upset Johnny (his mother is deceased and he gets very angry when someone discusses her), to which Dante replies \"she is okay\". Maria ends up setting up Johnny by kissing him at a gas station, an act which he despises, and he in turn goes to use the men\'s room to wash his face. While using one of the urinals, several armed Sicilian mobsters come out of the stalls to seal his doom. Johnny Stecchino realizes Maria\'s plot and reluctantly accepts his fate. Meanwhile, the other mobsters are laughing uproariously at Dante\'s jokes and proceed to sing a song Dante taught them.
Maria drives Dante back to his apartment, using his real name, and telling him she\'ll be back to see him someday. She walks away a free woman, satisfied that she has done the right thing. Dante meets with Lillo outside of his apartment, relating to him his time in Palermo, and of the experience as wacky customs of the locals. The film ends with Lillo running rampantly after sniffing a bag of cocaine, Dante\'s gift to Lillo, which he thinks is medicine for diabetes.

# Belle Moore
**Isabella \"Belle\" McAlpine Moore** (23 October 1894 -- 7 March 1975), later known by her married name **Belle Cameron**, was a Scottish competitive swimmer who represented Great Britain in the Olympics.
At the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden, Moore won a gold medal as a member of the first-place British women\'s team in the 4×100-metre freestyle relay, together with teammates Jennie Fletcher, Annie Speirs and Irene Steer. The British women set a new world record in the event of 5:52.8, beating the German and Austrian women\'s relay teams by a wide margin. Swedish King Gustav V presented Moore and her teammates with their gold medals and Olympic laurels.
Moore was trained as a longer-distance swimmer, but only 100-metre swimming events were available for women at the 1912 Olympics; she was eliminated in the semi-finals of the women\'s 100-metre freestyle. At 17 years and 226 days old, she remains the youngest British woman to win an Olympic gold medal; she was also the only Scottish woman to win an Olympic gold medal in swimming until the 2020 Tokyo Olympics when Kathleen Dawson also won gold in the mixed 4 x 100 medley relay.
Moore was born the eighth child of nine in her family. She started training at an early age and, by 17, already worked as a swimming instructor. In 1919, she married George Cameron, a naval architect; together, they moved to Maryland, United States, where Moore gave birth to a daughter, Doris, and son, George. She spent the rest of her life in Maryland where she taught swimming to thousands of children. She was posthumously inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame as an \"Honor Pioneer Swimmer\" in 1989

# Water slope
A **water slope** (*Pente d\'eau*) is a type of canal inclined plane built to carry boats from a canal or river at one elevation up or down to a canal or river at another elevation.
## History
In 1885, German engineer Julius Greve published drafts for water slopes in German journals. French engineer Jean Aubert advanced the studies in the 1950s and 1960s.
To date, only two water slopes have been built, both in southern France. In 1973 the Montech water slope (*Pente d\'eau de Montech*) was put into service on the *Canal latéral à la Garonne*.
In 1983 the Fonserannes Water Slope was inaugurated near Béziers on the Canal du Midi. Both water slopes run parallel to existing lock flights. Both water slopes are currently out of service and in disrepair. However, the slopes and their moving engines can be viewed from a distance.
## Operation
The water slope uses a moveable gate in a sloping channel. To ascend the slope the moving gate can be opened to allow a boat to enter the concrete channel. The gate then closes off the bottom of the channel and seals off a wedge of water on which the boat is floating, within the channel. The moveable gate is drawn up the sloping concrete channel pushing the wedge of water before it until reaching the upper water level. When the water level in the wedge is equalised with that of the upper canal, an upper (non-moving) gate is opened and the boat is then allowed to float free.
Descending the water slope is the reverse of the ascent

# Inger Stender
**Inger Stender** (1912--1989) was a Danish actress of stage, film and television whose sophisticated elegance and classic beauty earned her the description of Denmark\'s version of Marlene Dietrich.
## Early life {#early_life}
Inger Margueritha Stender was born 7 June 1912 in Copenhagen, Denmark, the daughter of a baker. She attended drama classes from 1929 to 1931 at the student schools for the Komediehuset (Comedy House) and Det Ny Teater (The New Theater), then made her stage debut at Det Ny Teater on 24 April 1931 in the role of Flora in C.E. Soya\'s *Kendt Navne*.
## Career
### Theater
Beginning in the 1930s, Stender was an actress for several stage companies throughout Denmark, including the Riddersalen, Odense Theater, Apollo Theater, Aalborg Theater and Aarhus Theater. She was a prolific and versatile stage actress, playing roles in Uncle Tom\'s Cabin, Tartuffe, and Henry IV as well as cabarets and comedies. In one season alone at the Odense Theater (1934--1935), Stender played 14 leading roles and received critical success as The Ship\'s Boy in *Alle Mand på Dæk* (*All Hands on Deck*). Stender also became an operetta star when she sang the title role in *Den Skønne Helene* (The Beautiful Helena) and was Zorina in *Zorina.*
### Film
Stender made her film debut in 1931 as the daughter Rosa in *Hotel Paradis*. The following year, at the age of 20, Stender played her first leading role as the sweet heroine in the Liva Weel farce *Odds 777*. Throughout the 1930s and the early 1940s, she continued to be cast as the charming young girl in such films as Benjamin Christensen\'s *Barnet* and the Herman Bang story, *Sommerglæder*. It was in her next film that Stender finally caught the type of role for which she would become known---the 1943 Marguerite Viby comedy *Som du vil ha\' mig -!* (*However You Would Have Me-!*), in which she played the sophisticated, and a little too intimate society girl.
Danish film historian Morten Piil described Stender\'s onscreen persona as blonde, beautiful and sophisticated with an almost aristocratic elegance yet a \"mischievous twinkle\" in her eyes. He refers to her as the Danish version of Marlene Dietrich. Stender continued to reprise this persona as the opera singer in *Så mødes vi hos Tove*, the rash society dame in *Foldboldpræsten* and the threatening woman in *Fra den gamle købmandsgård* (1951). However, Stender said that her desire was to play a light comedy part like the lead in the Noël Coward operetta *Bitter Sweet*, but that newspaper reviews focused so much on her beauty that it perhaps prevented her from receiving more varied roles. `{{cquote|I would like to have a light comedy role as the funny girl. I'm actually not nearly as boring as I look.|30px|30px|Inger Stender|Ekstra Bladet, 1946<ref name="PIIL"/>}}`{=mediawiki}
Stender performed in film and television in the 1970s, but in smaller roles of matronly or maternal characters. She made 38 films over a span of six decades, with her final role in 1981 in the Danish television series *Matador*.
## Personal life {#personal_life}
Stender married Mogens Flindt-Larsen in 1935 and they had two sons together. They divorced in 1940. Stender maintained a longterm romantic relationship with the Danish actor Poul Reichhardt with whom she appeared in the 1941 film *Moster fra Mols*. Stender died on 26 June 1989 at the age of 76 and is buried in Søndermark Kirkegård in Frederiksborg Denmark.

# Abradable coating
An **abradable coating** is a coating made of an abradable material -- meaning if it rubs against a more abrasive material in motion, the former will be worn whereas the latter will face no wear. Abradable coatings provide a .1 to .2% performance improvement compared to those without coating.
Abradable coatings are used in aircraft jet engines in the compressor and turbine sections where a minimal clearance is needed between the blade tips and the casing.
Abradable coatings have been in use by aero-engine manufacturers in some form or fashion for roughly 50 years
Abradable powder coatings provide an economical and environmentally friendly way to improve the efficiency of engines, compressors and pumps by fine-tuning the operational fit of internal components such as pistons, rotors and cases. In typical turbo machinery, the clearance between blade tips and the casing must account for thermal and inertial expansion as well as changes in concentricity due to shock loading events. To prevent catastrophic tip to casing contact, conservatively large clearances must be employed.
In small turboprop aircraft, the angle at which abradable coating is applied is impacted by the necessity of the coating process performed at spray angles less than 60 degrees.
The role of abradable coatings is not only to allow for closer clearances, but to automatically adjust clearances, in-situ, to accept physical events and/or thermal scenarios that may be found in a devices operational history.
## Manufacturing
- Thermal spray: Many techniques are available (Plasma, Flame, etc.).
- Sintering: Honeycomb coatings are sintered on the casing
- Casting: in the case of polymer coating

# Juan Bautista Sancho
**Joan Batista Sanxo**, or **Juan Bautista Sancho**, (Artà, Majorca, Spain, 1772 or 1776 --- Mission San Antonio de Padua, California, 1830) was a composer and scholar. He brought to California some of the first samples of 18th-century European music, including sacred plainchant, sacred polyphony, as well as opera excerpts and instrumental arrangements with basso continuo. In 1803, he arrived in Mexico from his native Majorca and, in 1804, he settled in Mission San Antonio, where he remained until his death in 1830. He co-wrote a curious *Interrogatorio,* reporting on the conditions of the natives, their social customs, their local flora, and even their music. He also compiled vocabularies of several of their languages. As a composer, his *Misa en Sol* and *Misa de los Angeles* are among his best works

# Airport Logistics Park
**Airport Logistics Park Singapore** (ALPS) is an industrial park created to support activities related to trade and air cargo at Singapore Changi Airport. The park is a notable example of cooperation between the government of Singapore and local business leaders to increase the business competitiveness of the country. The park is located next to the Changi Airfreight Centre. Access to the park is from Changi Coast Road.
## History
The industrial park is a free trade zone. The park was created in 2003 and officially opened by Minister for Transport Yeo Cheow Tong on 20 March that year. The project was a joint venture between the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, the airport operator, and JTC Corporation, the largest industrial land developer in the country. The cost of the facilities was initially S\$35 million.
## Current use {#current_use}
### Free trade zone {#free_trade_zone}
The logistics park is 26 ha in size. As a free trade zone, customs formalities are reduced. This allows companies to trans-ship cargo to Singapore and later redistribute it to countries in the region. The proximity to the airport increases the efficiency of the process. Other logistics centres in Singapore include the Changi International LogisPark and the Banyan LogisPark.
### Companies
Bax Global, B&H Worldwide, Exel, Expeditors, Menlo Worldwide, Nippon Express, UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Sandvik, SDV, Airmark Freight Services, AGI Freight, EGL Eagle Global Logistics, Geologistics, Global Airfreight Kerry Logistics, Kuehne & Nagel, KWE Kintetsu World Express, MOL Logistics, UPS Supply Chain Solutions and Schenker are among the tenants of the logistics park. Companies have publicly cited the increased warehousing and logistics benefits for relocating the park. Parts distribution for the Brazilian regional aircraft manufacturer, Embraer, is also located within the park

# Yau-Man Chan
**Yau-Man Chan** (`{{IPAc-en|'|j|aʊ|_|ˌ|m|æ|n}}`{=mediawiki}; born August 26, 1952) is a Malaysian table tennis player, technology executive, and reality television participant. He was the fourth-place finisher in the reality television series *Survivor: Fiji*. He returned to the show in *Survivor: Micronesia*, where he was the third contestant to be ousted. He was born in Hong Kong to ethnic Chinese parents and raised in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.
He retired from University of California, Berkeley in June 2013. He was the chief technology officer for computing services, network services, and telecommunications at the College of Chemistry. He is also a champion table tennis player. Chan was also the 2005-06 Northern California Division Director for the National Collegiate Table Tennis Association. He has a Bachelor of Science (physics) from MIT and a Masters in scientific instrumentation from UC Santa Barbara in 1977.
On the official *Survivor* website, Chan was voted the favorite survivor of the *Fiji* season, with a 65.5% popularity rating. The eventual winner Earl Cole finished second with only 10% of the vote.
## *Survivor*
### *Fiji*
Chan appeared in the reality television series *Survivor: Fiji*. He finished fourth and was the last person to be voted out. He appeared on the jury at the end of the season and voted for Earl Cole to win the game and one million dollars.
An atypical Survivor contestant, he achieved much success through his knowledge and utilization of basic physics. This was evident from the first episode. After the repeated efforts of much more muscular contestants, he was the only one to open a box of supplies the tribe received. While others had used various brute force methods to open the box, Chan dropped it on its corner onto a rock, opening it immediately. In this way, he beat younger, fitter, and theoretically stronger players in challenges.
Chan also used his smarts to find the Hidden Immunity Idol. While Cole kept the tribe at bay, Chan found the turtle-shaped idol. Immediately after, he created a false idol and planted it where he found the real idol. This way, if anyone found where the idol was, they would not suspect that he had found it. He constructed the false idol out of half a coconut shell and painted a face on it. He also painted the letters \"I.I.,\" for Immunity Idol.
Chan was part of one of the largest controversies in *Survivor* history. In a challenge where the reward was a new truck (2008 Ford Super Duty), Chan won, and immediately offered a deal to fellow player Andria \"Dreamz\" Herd. Chan would give Herd the truck if, in exchange, Herd would promise to give immunity to Chan at the Final Four, thus securing a place for Chan in the Final Three. The deal was contingent on Chan and Herd being in the Final Four and Herd winning individual immunity at that stage of the game.
Herd accepted the deal, and Chan sent himself to Exile Island, the first in *Survivor* history to do so. During the episode, Chan said in a confessional that it was because fellow castaway Cassandra Franklin would never survive, and there was no one else to send.
After two more people were voted out, the exact conditions of the bargain were set up, with Herd winning immunity in the Final Four. However, Herd reneged on the deal and Chan was voted off. In the reunion after the finale, it was revealed by the members of the jury that Chan might have won with six out of nine votes had he made it to the Final Three. He has stated that he holds no grudge against what Herd did, as it was a risk he took.
### *Micronesia*
On January 3, 2008, Chan was announced to be among the Favorites returning for *Survivor: Micronesia --- Fans vs. Favorites*, the 16th season of *Survivor* which began airing on February 7, 2008. On the first episode of the show, he formed a loose alliance with fellow favorites Jonathan Penner, Ami Cusack, and Eliza Orlins. Chan joined the rest of his tribe in voting Jonny Fairplay off the island during that episode.
As aired in Episode Three, the Favorites lost the immunity challenge. Chan was targeted by *Survivor: Panama* favorite Cirie Fields, the swing vote for the two alliances (the other consisting of Amanda Kimmel, Ozzy Lusth, Parvati Shallow and James Clement). Fields targeted him because of his reputation as an intelligent player, and she worried what would happen if he found the Hidden Immunity Idol again. Despite Penner\'s attempts to persuade Fields to join their alliance, Chan was eliminated and became the third person voted off the island by a vote of 6--2--1, despite an effort to target Shallow.
However, additional footage released on the official *Survivor* website revealed another side to these events. Fields, who was one of the first people to visit Exile Island in this season, had shared all the clues to the location of the Hidden Immunity Idol that she had gathered with Chan, with the understanding that the two of them would share the idol in a similar manner that Chan and Earl Cole did in *Survivor: Fiji*. After this information exchange, Chan suggested to the tribe that if they won the next reward challenge, instead of following the tribe\'s earlier procedure of drawing lots to determine which of their own number went to Exile Island, Penner would be sent. Upon hearing this, Fields concluded that Chan had given Penner the clues she had just shared and that the two men were in an alliance that excluded her. That conclusion was another factor in Fields\' decision to eliminate Chan. Post-elimination interviews of Penner have told a similar story.
### Invitation for a third season {#invitation_for_a_third_season}
Chan received an invitation to be a participant of *Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains*, the 20th season of the show, but had to decline due to an inability to secure sufficient leave from work.
## *The Skeptologists* and other appearances {#the_skeptologists_and_other_appearances}
In April 2008, Chan worked on a pilot for a skeptical reality show called *The Skeptologists*. The pilot was developed by Brian Dunning (of the Skeptoid podcast) and producer Ryan Johnson (*American Dragster*). The show was intended to be a reality TV series that would investigate the paranormal and fringe science from a skeptical scientific point of view. Another Skeptologists cast member, Steven Novella, heads the podcast The Skeptics\' Guide to the Universe, on which Chan is interviewed in the April 12, 2008 episode.
On May 29, 2011, Chan lectured on \"Reality of Reality TV\" at the 2nd annual SkeptiCalCon event held in Berkeley, California.

# Durham Museum, Omaha, Nebraska
The **Durham Museum** (formerly known as the **Durham Western Heritage Museum**) is located at 801 South 10th Street in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. The museum is dedicated to preserving and displaying the history of the United States\' western region. The museum is housed in Omaha\'s former Union Station.
## History of the museum {#history_of_the_museum}
In May 1971, after the establishment of the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (now Amtrak), Union Pacific Railroad closed Union Station. The first suggestion in print that the building be used as a museum appeared in the Public Pulse of the World Herald on April 5, 1971, in a letter from John Edward Peterson. He suggested that either the City of Omaha or Joslyn purchase the building and develop it into a museum. He wrote, \"Maybe the Union Pacific would be willing to sell the station rather cheaply or even donate it.\" The station was donated to the City of Omaha in 1973 and two years later the **Western Heritage Museum** opened. The museum closed from 1995 to 1996 for a \$22 million renovation project largely funded by Charles and Margre Durham. For their contributions on the project, the Western Heritage Museum was renamed the Durham Western Heritage Museum the following year. On April 6, 2008, the Durham Western Heritage Museum became the Durham Museum. The change was driven by recent partnerships with Smithsonian Institution, the Library of Congress, and the National Archives which have provided the museum with a larger range of exhibits and programming not limited to western heritage. The museum is an affiliate within the Smithsonian Affiliations program.
## Byron Reed Collection {#byron_reed_collection}
According to experts, \"Byron Reed was one of the greatest collectors of the 19th century,\" with a reputation as a numismatist that is \"largely unrecognized.\" According to Larry Wilson, a historian and numismatic researcher for the Independent Coin Grading Service, \"The exhibit is an environmental museum where the visitors walk through a replication of the original Byron Reed Library. The coins are displayed in beautiful dark wooden cases that give the visitors the sense they are part of the exhibit. It gave me the feeling I was back in the 1880s sitting in Byron Reed\'s library examining his coins with him. The exhibit includes an abundance of historical information on Byron Reed and the times. I know visitors will be impressed with the quality of the exhibit and the magnificence of the coins displayed.\" Donated to the City of Omaha upon Reed\'s death, today the collection is housed at the Durham Museum.

# Jim McDonagh
**Seamus Martin McDonagh** (born 6 October 1952), known as **Jim McDonagh**, is a former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He made more than 400 appearances in the English leagues. He played for his native England at youth level before winning 25 caps for Ireland. He then became a goalkeeping coach, working with numerous clubs in the English game until joining Martin O\'Neill\'s coaching team at Sunderland in 2011. In November 2013 he was appointed to the same role with the Republic of Ireland national team by O\'Neill, and in 2019 he followed O\'Neill to Nottingham Forest as head goalkeeping coach.
## Playing career {#playing_career}
McDonagh started his career at his hometown club Rotherham United, and spent a month on loan at Manchester United in 1973, before joining Bolton Wanderers, initially on loan, taking over from the recently departed Barry Siddall. An ever-present during the Second Division Championship-winning side of 1977--78, he set a club record of conceding only 33 goals in a 42-match season. For the following two seasons in the top flight he was also an ever-present and did well enough for Everton to sign him for £250,000 when Bolton were relegated in 1979--80. Within a year Neville Southall had come through the ranks at Everton and McDonagh found himself back at Bolton. Another relegation followed in 1982--83, even with McDonagh managing to score a goal, and he moved on to Notts County for two seasons before wandering around a further six English clubs as well as teams in the USA. It was while he was at Bolton that he received the first of 25 caps for Ireland. He qualified to play for Ireland through his father Michael who came from Midfield, County Mayo.
## Coaching career {#coaching_career}
He was appointed player/manager of Galway United in 1988 when they were in the relegation zone. Despite helping save the club from relegation his contract was unilaterally terminated by United in May 1989.
McDonagh went on to have coaching positions at clubs including Coventry City, Mansfield Town, Nottingham Forest, Millwall, Rotherham United, Leicester City, Aston Villa, Plymouth Argyle and Hull City. He was appointed Sunderland\'s first-team goalkeeping coach by Martin O\'Neill on 6 December 2011. O\'Neill then appointed him to the same role with the Republic of Ireland national team in November 2013. On 21 November 2018, O\'Neill and his backroom staff parted company with the FAI, and in January 2019, McDonagh followed O\'Neill to Nottingham Forest as head goalkeeping coach

# Fokker T.VIII
The **Fokker T.VIII** is a twin-engined torpedo bomber and aerial reconnaissance floatplane designed and manufactured by the Dutch aviation company Fokker.
It was developed in the late 1930s as a successor to the Fokker T.IV. While the Dutch Naval Aviation Service had originally intended to use it in home waters and in the Dutch East Indies, the Second World War broke out as production was beginning to meet these needs. The Royal Air Force (RAF) and the *Luftwaffe* operated small numbers of the type.
## Development
### Background
During the early 1930s, one of the consequences of the Great Depression was that many countries had little to spare for military procurement, even in light of ageing and obsolete aircraft. The Netherlands was no exception to this trend, however, following the rise to power of Nazism in neighbouring Germany, several Dutch officers and politicians recognised that military modernisation was increasingly necessary, particularly in the field of aviation. One requirement identified during 1937 by the Royal Netherlands Navy was for a new floatplane for coastal defense and aerial reconnaissance operations, which could be alternatively armed with either bombs or air-dropped torpedoes.
The choice to specify a torpedo armament was unusual for the time as, throughout the interwar period, such weapons had been considered to be extravagant and unaffordable, despite interest in using such munitions being held by some officers. Based on this interest, launching trials were performed using a specially-adapted Fokker C.V landplane, which successfully validated the concept. While the torpedo-armed Fokker T.IV had been conceived to perform such missions, by the late 1930s the type had become outdated and never actually carried such weapons in combat. The Dutch naval staff considered the procurement of a modern twin-engined floatplane that could carry a single torpedo internally to be a priority and approached Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker with this requirement during 1937.
The specification defined the aircraft as being foremost for coastal defence operations. It demanded that the prospective aircraft possess both a top speed of at least 175 MPH and considerable endurance, both factors making long-distance reconnaissance flights over the North Sea possible. In order to house the desired armaments necessitated a fairly-large payload capacity as well, along with a crew of three to operate the aircraft. It was also to be powered by a pair of engines capable of producing between 400 hp and 700 hp. Fokker decided to respond to this specification and submit its own design, known by the company designation *T.VIII*.
### Orders and flight testing {#orders_and_flight_testing}
During 1938, an initial order for five aircraft of Fokker\'s new design was issued. By early 1939, the first of these aircraft was ready to flight, while all five were completed by 1 June of that year. Despite some initial issues, the Netherlands Naval Aviation Service was largely satisfied with the type\'s performance and a follow-on order for a larger batch of 26 aircraft was received. It was intended for the older Fokker T.IV aircraft to be entirely withdrawn in favour of the T.VIIIs from this second batch, including those stationed in the Dutch East Indies, but such plans were disrupted by the outbreak of the Second World War.
Deliveries of the type continued despite the onset of war as, during the early period known as the Phoney War, the Netherlands maintained neutrality in the conflict. In spring 1940, the first example of the improved *T.VIII W/M* model was completed; at this point in time, aircraft were being delivered from Fokker\'s production line so hastily that the paint had not yet dried; the Dutch military were still receiving T.VIIIs during the opening days of the Battle of the Netherlands.
The Dutch were not the only party interested in procuring the type; during early 1939, the government of Finland had developed a similar requirement for such an aircraft, albeit requiring somewhat higher performance figures, as well as a land-based version. Fokker decided to draw up a development of the T.VIII to meet this need, which not only gained the interest of Finland but Sweden as well. During 1939, a Finnish order for the improved *T.VIII-L* was received; this same variant was also proposed to the Royal Netherlands Army in its land-based configuration.

# Fokker T.VIII
## Design
The Fokker T.VIII was a twin-engined monoplane floatplane, featuring a three-part fuselage of oval cross-section and a mid-wing configuration. The first fuselage section consisted of a monocoque light alloy construction, while the centre section was all-wood and had incorporated the wing as well; the rear fuselage section was largely made of steel tubing and fabric. The undercarriage consisted of a pair of floats composed of rust-proof duralumin; internally, each float contained six waterproof compartments along with an auxiliary fuel tank.
The aircraft\'s construction changed throughout its manufacture. While the *T.VIII W/G* model featured a wing comprising a pair of cross-beams with bakelite ribs and clad in plywood, as well as a steel-framed tail covered by fabric; for the later-built *T.VIII W/M* variant, both the tail and the wing were constructed from a lightweight alloy instead. At the time of the T.VII\'s development, Fokker was developing new construction methods that involved transitioning from traditional mixed-construction to an all-metal approach.
The nose section, which housed the aircraft\'s observer, featured several large plexiglass windows for external visibility and a bomb-aiming panel in the floor in front of him. Behind the observer\'s position was the cockpit, in which the pilot was seated on the left side adjacent to the wing\'s leading edge; directly behind the pilot was the third crew member, who was a combined wireless operator/tail gunner. The movable rear gun was fitted to a retractable mounting; the pilot could also fire a fixed forward-facing machine gun. A maximum payload of 1,330 lbs of either torpedoes or bombs would be carried within a hold within the wing\'s center section; this hold was furnished with hydraulically-actuated doors. Fuel was principally housed in tanks between the main spars on the wings.

## Operational history {#operational_history}
The aircraft went into production almost immediately following the type\'s first flight in 1938; a total of eleven T.VIIIs entered service with the Netherlands Naval Aviation Service. Initial operations were dominated by trials and training missions, aiming to familiarise Dutch personnel with the aircraft\'s operation. By September 1939, the month during which the Second World War broke out, the type was used to patrol Dutch territorial waters, intending to guard against violations of Dutch neutrality by the forces of either side. On 13 September 1939, a T.VIII was attacked by a German Dornier Do 18 flying boat; the aircraft was destroyed while attempting to land and the crew captured by the Germans; this incident led to a change in Dutch aircraft markings from the red, white, and blue roundel to an orange triangle so that Dutch aircraft would be more readily distinguishable from either their British or French counterparts.
Having anticipated a German invasion of the Netherlands, military planners had already directed that the T.VIIIs be dispersed prior to May 1940. Immediately following the German invasion in 1940, nine aircraft were relocated to bases in France; while some reconnaissance missions were flown early on, these were soon suspended in the face of German aerial superiority. On 22 May 1940, these aircraft escaped to the United Kingdom; notably, one T.VIII was used to aid in the escape of two members of the Dutch Cabinet. Those aircraft that reached Britain would form the nucleus of No. 320 (Netherlands) Squadron RAF, Coastal Command, based at Pembroke Dock in Pembrokeshire, South Wales. The unit performed numerous convoy escort and anti-submarine patrols, aiming to detect and attack Germany raiding forces. It was also used for espionage operations as a liaison aircraft for contacting members of the Dutch resistance on the continent. Eventually, a lack of spares meant that these aircraft become unserviceable and were retired; their Dutch crews were transferred to newly-procured Lockheed Hudson light bombers.
The Germans also acquired a number of T.VIIIs, having captured multiple partially-completed airframes that had still been under construction at the Fokker factory. They were ordered to be completed for use by the Kriegsmarine; once finished, each example received an evaluation at Travemünde before delivery to Germany. German-operated T.VIIIs largely saw use in the Mediterranean Sea, where they performed numerous reconnaissance, air-sea rescue and anti-submarine missions.
Early on 6 May 1941 four men -- former Lieutenant Govert Steen and Corporal Evert Willem Boomsma, both of the Army Aviation Brigade, along with Fokker technician Wijbert Lindeman, and former Dutch Army Lieutenant Jan Beelaerts van Blokland -- swam out to the Fokker T.VIIw TD+CL moored on the Minervahaven on the IJ in Amsterdam. At dawn they managed to take off (Steen, a fighter pilot, had never flown the type before) and flew to England, evading British anti-aircraft fire, and landing at Broadstairs, Kent. Beelaerts van Blokland and Lindeman joined the Princess Irene Brigade, with Beelaerts van Blokland becoming its commander during operations in Normandy, while Steen joined No. 129 Squadron RAF, flying 79 sorties before being shot down and killed on 5 June 1942.

# Lawrence County Airpark
**Lawrence County Airpark** `{{airport codes|HTW<ref>{{ASN|HTW}}</ref>|KHTW|HTW}}`{=mediawiki} is a public use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) west of the central business district of Chesapeake, a village in Lawrence County, Ohio, United States. It is publicly owned by Lawrence County Board of Commissioners. The airport lies across the Ohio River from Huntington, West Virginia.
## History
Lawrence County Airpark, originally known as **Huntington Airport**, was established in 1929. In June of that year, John Paul Riddle of the Cincinnati-based Embry-Riddle Company completed negotiations for the establishment of an airport for the cities of the Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia tri-state area. The company sought to expand their growing air mail and passenger routes east, via the Ohio River valley. The Embry-Riddle Company put up \$100,000, with another \$25,000 contributed by the Huntington Chamber of Commerce, \$25,000 from the Huntington Bridge Company, and \$25,000 from a local aviation booster club. The club enrolled 250 members, charging a membership fee of \$100. This money was used to fund the airport project. The land was purchased primarily from a Mr. Joe L. Wilson, partner in the Huntington Bridge Company, who had used the land for farmland.
Development of the land began in June but was slowed due to high levels of rain. Eventually several houses and a barn were removed, though two structures were initially left intact on the north side of the field for use as office and flight crew facilities.
The new **Huntington-Ironton-Chesapeake Airport** opened on August 31, 1929, with a 3600 ft east-west sod landing strip (current site of runway 8/26) and a north-south strip 2500 ft in length (partially still in use as the airfield\'s only taxiway). The opening fell on Labor Day weekend, and massive celebrations were planned. Approximately 45,000 people attended the opening events throughout the weekend, which included aerial stunts and rides (\$10 each).
Ten planes, owned by the Embry-Riddle Company were stationed at the field. These included several Wacos. A Ford Tri-Motor was on display for opening day. There was a raffle for a free flight to Cincinnati\'s Lunken Field, and a folded-wing aircraft carrying local government and civic leaders Taxied across the bridge, led a parade around Huntington, West Virginia, then returned to the airport, extended its wings, and took them on an aerial tour.
At the time of opening, the Embry-Riddle Company was to run the field and FBO. The company also opened a flight school. Embry-Riddle closed its flight school and withdrew service the next year, the result of disputes with the Huntington Chamber of Commerce over the building of a hangar facility.
The 1930s were marked by repeated attempts to establish passenger and mail service to the H-I-C Airport. 1932 and 1936 saw relatively short attempts by American Airlines to set up service. In 1938, a permanent, regular service was begun. This was in part due to an agreement to lengthen and pave the main runway. As part of this deal, land was purchased for a 1,000-foot runway extension to the west in 1937. Air service lasted until April, 1945, when American closed their weather office and stopped mail and passenger services. The airline had been stopping an H-I-C when weight conditions allowed - by 1945 the runway was too short for AA\'s DC-3s to take off fully loaded. The runway had deteriorated markedly by 1945, and the main runway still had not been extended. This ultimately resulted in the 1947 creation of a Huntington Airport Authority to establish the current Tri-State Airport (HTS) in Wayne County, West Virginia.
## Facilities and aircraft {#facilities_and_aircraft}
Lawrence County Airpark covers an area of 86 acre at an elevation of 568 feet (173 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 8/26 with an asphalt surface measuring 2,998 by 70 feet (914 x 21 m).
For the 12-month period ending October 2, 2020, the airport had 41,975 aircraft operations, an average of 115 per day. It was 99% general aviation, 1% air taxi, and \<1% military. For the same time period, 28 aircraft were based at the airport: 26 single-engine and 2 multi-engine airplanes.
There is one fixed-base operator on-field, Attitude Aviation. They currently have three Cessna 172 Skyhawks and one Beechcraft Bonanza available for rent, as well as maintenance and repair facilities. They also offer 100LL fuel, oil, and assorted charts and supplies for sale in addition to flight instruction.
There is also a jump zone, Tri-State Skydivers, at the airport. They operate a modified Cessna 182, have skydiving instructors and parachutes available for rent, and operate most weekends throughout the year.
### Facility Upgrades {#facility_upgrades}
In 2022, the airport received \$82,770 to cover repairs and infrastructure upgrades. The airport used the money to rehabilitate the existing general aviation ramp as well as an existing taxiway to maintain structural integrity. In 2023, the airport received \$100,000 to continue these upgrades.

## Accidents and incidents {#accidents_and_incidents}
- On August 9, 1942, an aircraft operated by the Civil Air Patrol crashed near the airport soon after taking off.
- On August 12, 1946, two aircraft collided above the airport, killing everyone onboard both planes, including multiple Navy officers.
- On March 13, 2005, a Grumman American AA-5 was destroyed when it impacted terrain, shortly after takeoff from the Lawrence County Airpark. Witnesses report that the aircraft appeared to be high on its first approach, so it executed a go-around. The airplane continued around the traffic pattern and returned to land a second time. The second landing attempt appeared fast, and the intended touchdown point was \"far down the runway.\" The pilot applied power again, and the airplane became airborne with a nose high attitude. The airplane cleared the 30-foot high trees located at the end of the runway and began to wobble; the right wing dropped, and the airplane descended to the ground about 1/4 mile from the airport. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot\'s failure to maintain airspeed during the aborted landing, which resulted in an inadvertent stall.
- On January 30, 2011, a Cessna 172P Skyhawk sustained substantial damage when it impacted the terrain after it hit trees during an aborted landing at the Lawrence County Airpark. The pilot reported a normal preflight, engine runup, and takeoff. On climbout, the pilot reported that the engine suddenly and continuously started to sound as if it was running "rough" and "missing.\" Without checking engine instruments, he immediately executed a steep left turn to return and land. Upon completing the turn, he realized he was too high to land on runway 26, so he retarded the throttle to idle, extended full flaps, executed a forward slip, and began a series of shallow S-turns to lose altitude. As it was 5-10 knots high and slightly fast crossing the runway\'s threshold, the aircraft floated 2,000 feet down the runway. After touchdown, the pilot used toe brakes to no effect and realized he would hit trees at the end of the runway, so he applied full power to go around and, though only trying to retract one notch, inadvertently retracted all of the wing flaps. The aircraft stalled as it brushed the tree tops, the left wing dropped, and the airplane impacted terrain. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the partial loss of engine power due to carburetor icing and the pilot's delayed use of carburetor heat and failure to attain the proper touchdown point on the runway during the precautionary landing.
- On March 9. 2016, a Remos GX was substantially damaged while landing at the Lawrence County Airpark. According to the pilot, during final approach, his airspeed was too fast. He decided to extend the landing flare in ground effect to bleed off the excess airspeed. As the airplane\'s main landing gear touched down on the runway, the airplane bounced. When the airplane settled back on the runway, the nose gear collapsed and the airplane exited the runway. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot\'s unstable approach, which resulted in excessive airspeed during the touchdown, subsequent bounced landing, collapsed nose landing gear, and a runway excursion

# Somethin' Smith and the Redheads
**Somethin\' Smith and the Redheads** were an American vocal group, doing mostly pop standards in the 1950s. Their biggest hit single was \"It\'s a Sin to Tell a Lie\" in 1955, which reached number seven in the *Billboard* Hot 100 chart. The following year they reached number 27 with their cover version of \"In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town\". Both releases were issued on the Epic Records label.
The group consisted of Smith (Robert Hugh (Red) Robinson, September 23, 1922 -- December 6, 2002; vocals, banjo, and guitar), Saul Striks (December 8, 1924 -- December 3, 1979; piano) and Major Short (June 22, 1924 -- March 30, 2018; double bass).
Minor chart records included \"Heartaches\", \"Ace in the Hole\", and \"You Always Hurt The One You Love\". In 1961, they recorded their final album for the MGM label, which also resulted in one final single being released from the album.
The trio parted ways in 1966. Saul Striks began a new group called the Saloonatics with himself on piano and Ralph J. Guenther on bass and banjo.
Striks died from a heart attack whilst visiting Chicago, on December 3, 1979, at the age of 54. Robinson died in Salisbury, Maryland on December 6, 2002, at the age of 80.
Short lived in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, where he got into the banjo hall of fame, until he died on March 30, 2018, at the age of 93

# Andreas Helgstrand
**Andreas Helgstrand** (born 2 October 1977) is a Danish dressage rider. He won four consecutive Danish dressage championships, from 2005 through 2008. Helgstrand is banned from competition until 2025.
## Early life {#early_life}
Andreas Helgstrand was born 2 October 1977 to Ulf Helgstrand and his wife. His father became president of the Danish Equestrian Federation in 2003. Andreas started competitive riding aged 7 or 8, competing initially in showjumping. At the age of 17, he started training as a riding master in 1994 at the Sport Riding Club in Aalborg. He passed the final exams in 2000.
## Career
Helgstrand has worked as a horse trainer, riding instructor, and horse trader; first in the Netherlands with Anne van Olst, then in Kongsberg in Norway, before replacing Lars Petersen at the Blue Hors stud in Randboel, Denmark. At the 2004 Olympics, riding Cavan, Helgstrand came in ninth in the individual and fifth in the team. He finished fourth in the 2004 poll for Danish sportsperson of the year.
At the 2006 World Equestrian Games, riding the mare Matiné, Helgstrand came in second in the Individual freestyle and third in the individual special. Eurodressage\'s report of the tournament called him \"the favourite of the crowd\" and said he \"seemed to have redefined piaffe and passage\". A video of this performance (to the hip-hop song \"No Mo\" by Red Astaire) has circulated widely on YouTube, being seen over 5 million times.
Helgstrand withdrew from the 2007 Dressage World Cup finals in Las Vegas when Matiné twisted her left front pastern on arrival while getting out of the van. She was retired from competition in the months afterward, as she was unable to recover from the injury. In 2010 she was euthanised after breaking a leg in the pasture.
In 2008, Helgstrand won his fourth consecutive Danish dressage championship, on his fourth horse (Don Schufro, after Cavan, Matiné and Casmir). At the 2008 Olympics, riding Don Schufro, he came in eleventh in the individual and third in the team.
At the end of 2008, Helgstrand left the Blue Hors stud to start his own business, which he named Helgstrand Dressage, at Møgelmosegård near Aalborg.
In 2010, Helgstrand rode Uno Donna Unique to victory in the 6-year-old class at the 2010 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses. In 2013, he became embroiled in a dispute regarding the sale of Uno Donna Unique.
Helgstrand was shortlisted for the Danish dressage team for the 2012 Olympics, but was not selected.
## Business
In 2008, Helgstrand set up his own business, Helgstrand Dressage. In 2021, he merged this business into a new entity, Global Equestrian Group with Ludger Beerbaum. The company participates in various activities around horse sport, from breeding, dressage, show jumping, events to real estate. Helgstrand\'s personal holding company Wama Consult Aps was found to have an equity of 1.026 billion DKK in 2020.

# Andreas Helgstrand
## Controversies
In 2014, Helgstrand was accused of abusing his horse Akeem Foldager in a social media campaign which circulated a photograph of the horse with a blue tongue. On 28 November 2014, a court in Aalborg acquitted him of all animal cruelty charges. However, the Danish Equestrian Federation ruled on 2 February 2015 that Helgstrand was guilty of \"improper use of bit and bridle\" and that his use of a double-bridle was \"completely unacceptable\". The incident caused several of his sponsors to drop him, and he lost his eligibility to compete in the 2014 World Equestrian Games. Later that year, the website Epona.tv published photos of Helgstrand warming up his horse Torveslettens Stamina in a rollkur position, though he was not warned or sanctioned at the event.
In 2022, Helgstrand on Queenpark\'s Wendy was disqualified from the Stockholm Grand Prix when the judge stopped him mid-performance after noticing pink froth on the horse\'s mouth. A veterinarian determined it was a minor injury and Helgstrand was allowed to compete with the horse the following day. A few months later, the pair were again disqualified from the World Cup Grand Prix in Amsterdam for the blood rule when Queenpark\'s Wendy bit her own tongue.
In June 2023, Helgstrand was disqualified from the Danish Championships when it was found that his horse Jovian had been treated with a medication on show grounds without first disclosing it to the show authorities. The horse\'s veterinarian testified that Helgstrand was not aware the horse had been treated for a mild colic the night before the competition, and that the medications were not on the FEI list of banned substances. However, the show was not governed by FEI rules, but by Dansk Ride Forbund\'s which require medications to be approved by the DRF veterinary advisor before administering them. Helgstrand was held as the responsible party under the Danish rules and had to return the bronze medal he won and pay a fine.
### Operation X {#operation_x}
In September 2023, he once again came under fire for alleged animal abuse. This time it was an undercover documentary, that allegedly exposed the use of training methods that were illegal in Denmark, as well as other controversial methods that were hidden from customers and visitors.
In the videos, undercover footage shows grooms concealing open spur marks with shoe polish and hide whip marks by blankets. They also discuss horses bleeding as a result of their training regimes, and are horses are shown being ridden in a tight frame, behind the vertical.
Helgstrand filed an injunction against Danish television station TV2, the producer of the documentary to prevent the program from being shown. He was unsuccessful, and the program was broadcast.
In November 2023, Helgstrand was removed from the Danish national dressage team -- and reported to the police -- following the broadcast of the Operation X documentary filmed undercover at Helgstrand Dressage. His ban will last at least until January 1, 2025.
As a result, his father Ulf Helgstrand, who had been chairman of the Danish Equestrian Federation since 2003, took a leave of absence from his position, and later resigned in April 2024.
In October 2024, as his suspension from the Danish equestrian team was due to lift, Helgstrand was banned for an additional three months after evidence in his involvement in another suspect training episode came to light

# Barewa College
**Barewa College** is a college in Zaria, Kaduna State, northern Nigeria. Founded in 1921 by British Governor General Hugh Clifford, it was originally known as **Katsina College**. It switched its name to Kaduna College in 1938 and to Government College, Zaria in 1949 before settling on Barewa College. It is one of the largest boarding schools in Northern Nigeria and was the most-celebrated post-primary schools there up to the early 1960s. The school is known for the large number of elites from the region who attended and counts among its alumni include Tafawa Balewa who was Prime Minister of Nigeria from 1960 to 1966, four heads of state of Nigeria. The school is located along Gaskiya road in the Tukur -Tukur area of Zaria.
## History of Barewa College {#history_of_barewa_college}
Hugh Clifford, a British governor-general, founded Katsina College in 1921. It was first built in Katsina by Emir Muhammadu Dikko and officially opened in 1922. The historical building was declared a national monument and is now a museum in the state. It was then moved to Kaduna and its name was then changed to Kaduna College in 1938 and then to Government College, Zaria in 1949. When some of the provincial secondary schools were poised to become full secondary schools in 1956, the college was renamed Zaria Secondary School. According to Clifford, the reason the college was founded in and named after Katsina was that:
> \...Katsina in ancient days was held in high repute throughout the Muhammadan Emirates as a seat of learning and of piety; and it is good, I think, that this tradition should be perpetuated. My second reason was that Katsina, though it is an important town and the administrative capital of an important Emirate, is not as yet so close to the railway and to the commercial centres of Nigeria as to make it unsuitable for that quiet and tranquillity and that freedom from distractions which are so necessary for young men who are devoting their lives to study.
It is Northern Nigeria\'s first secondary school, initially catering to children of royalty and a select few from the aristocracy. Alhaji Ahmadu Bello, the first Premier of Northern Nigeria and an alumnus of the college, described it in his autobiography as a training ground for princes, likening it to the schools set up by the British in India.
## Houses
Memorable names of the dormitories include Bello Kagara House, Lugard House, Clifford House, Dan Hausa House, Mallam Smith House, Nagwamatse House, Bienemann House, Mort House and, later, Jafaru House and Suleiman Barau House, which were called New House A and New House B during their construction. These dormitories housed up to a thousand pupils at any one time, in the vast landscape east of Tudun Wadda.

# Dick McBride (baseball)
**John Dickson** \"**Dick**\" **McBride** (June 14, 1847`{{mdash}}`{=mediawiki}January 20, 1916) was an American Major League Baseball player from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who was the star pitcher and the player-manager for the Philadelphia Athletics of the National Association from 1871 through most of 1875 until Cap Anson took over as player-manager for the remaining eight games of the season. He had a pitching record of 149 wins and 74 losses during that period. In 1871, he went 18-5 and led Philadelphia to the NA championship. McBride finished his major league career in 1876 when he was signed by the Boston Red Stockings of the National League after the Association failed. He had a record of 0-4 before his career came to an end. McBride died in Philadelphia at the age of 70, and is interred at Lawnview Cemetery in Rockledge, Pennsylvania.
In 1864, while serving in the Union Army during the Civil War, he was allowed to take a 3-day furlough to participate in a series of baseball exhibitions between clubs from Brooklyn and the local Philadelphia clubs. It was during this time that the north\'s attention had turned to military defense, not baseball, so Brooklyn strategically scheduled these events hoping to take advantage of the situation to get some well sought after wins in \"enemy\" territory. The presence of McBride didn\'t do much, as all Philly teams were beaten soundly

# The Water Mother
**The Water Mother** is a Chinese fairy tale collected by Wolfram Eberhard in *Folktales of China*. It does not exist in an early text, although the cult of the Water Mother existed from the time of the Song dynasty.
Wolfram Eberhard pointed out that \"elements\" of the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index type ATU 565 appear here. Other tales of this type are *Sweet Porridge* and *Why the Sea Is Salt* \-- *Why the Sea Is Salt* also using it as an explanatory legend.
## Synopsis
A woman lived with her mother-in-law and daughter; though she was dutiful, her mother-in-law hated her. One day, she decreed that they could not buy water from water-carriers, but her daughter-in-law would have to carry it from the well. The work was too hard for her, but she was beaten when she failed. One day, she thought of drowning herself in the well. An old woman told her not to, and gave her a stick, which, when used to strike the pail, would fill it with water. She was to tell no one of the stick\'s power, and to never strike the pail twice.
For a time, she was happy, but her mother-in-law spied on her, stole the stick, and struck the pail twice. This caused a flood that drowned many houses and her daughter-in-law. The pail had become a spring. Afterward, a temple was raised for the daughter-in-law, and they called her the Water Mother

# Top Secret (aircraft)
***Top Secret*** was the name of a Boeing B-29 Superfortress (B-29-36-MO 44--27302, \"victor number\' 72) modified to carry the atomic bomb in World War II. It served with the Army Air Forces and United States Air Force from 1945 until 1954.
## Airplane history {#airplane_history}
The plane was assigned to the 393d Bomb Squadron of the 509th Composite Group. It was one of fifteen Silverplate B-29s used by the 509th. *Top Secret* was built at the Glenn L. Martin Company aircraft plant at Omaha, Nebraska, as a Block 35 aircraft. It was one of 10 aircraft modified as a Silverplate and designated with Block number 36. The plane was delivered to the Army Air Forces on 2 April 1945. The 509th assigned it to crew B-8 (1st Lt. Charles F. McKnight, aircraft commander) and it was flown to Wendover Army Air Field, Utah. It left Wendover on 5 June 1945, for North Field, Tinian and arrived 11 June.
It was originally assigned the \"victor (unit-assigned identification) number\" 2 but on 1 August was given the large \'Square A\' tail markings of the 497th Bombardment Group as a security measure and had its \"victor number\" changed to 72 to avoid misidentification with actual 497th aircraft. It was named *Top Secret* and its nose art was applied after the atomic bomb missions.
While at Tinian, McKnight and crew B-8 flew *Top Secret* on 13 practice bombing missions and four combat pumpkin bomb missions against Japanese industrial targets at Otsu, Yokkaichi, Ube, and Toyoda. The plane flew two other pumpkin bomb missions, to Taira (1st Lt. Joseph E. Westover and crew A-4) and Yokkaichi (Capt. Claude Eatherly and crew C-11).
In November 1945 *Top Secret* 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 it rejoined the 509th at Roswell. In June 1949 *Top Secret* was transferred to the 97th Bombardment Group at Biggs Air Force Base, Texas. It was sent to Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma in April 1950 for modification to TB-29 trainer specification by the Oklahoma City Air Materiel Area.
The plane\'s subsequent assignments were to the 2d Radar Calibration Squadron, Elmendorf Air Force Base in March 1953, and the 5025th Maintenance Group at Elmendorf in August 1953.
In September 1953 it was sent to the 3040th Aircraft Storage Group at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, where it was scrapped in July 1954.
## Other aircraft named *Top Secret* {#other_aircraft_named_top_secret}
A General Dynamics FB-111A strategic bomber of the United States Air Force, serial 69--6513, carried the name *Top Secret* on its nosewheel doors during its service with both the 509th Bombardment Wing at Pease Air Force Base, New Hampshire, and the 380th Bombardment Wing at Plattsburgh Air Force Base, New York in the 1970s and 1980s

# Jennie Fletcher
**Jennie Fletcher** (19 March 1890 -- 17 January 1968), later known by her married name **Jennie Hyslop**, was a British competitive swimmer, Olympic gold medallist, and former world record-holder. In 1905 she set a new world record in the 100-yard freestyle that stood for seven years. She was selected for the 1908 Olympics, but the women\'s swimming events were cancelled due to a shortage of participants. At the 1912 Summer Olympics, she won a gold medal in the 4×100-metre freestyle relay and a bronze medal in the individual 100-metre freestyle race. In 1971 she was inducted to the International Swimming Hall of Fame as an \"Honor Swimmer\".
Fletcher was born in an underprivileged family of 11 siblings and had to combine swimming with daily 12-hour work.

# 2001 Montserratian general election
General elections were held in Montserrat on 2 April 2001. The result was a victory for the New People\'s Liberation Movement (NLPM), which won seven of the nine seats in the Legislative Council. NLPM leader John Osborne became Chief Minister.
## Background
On 2 February 2001 Health Minister Adelina Tuitt and Communications Minister Rupert Weekes resigned from the cabinet of Chief Minister David Brandt. This led to the collapse of the government, which only had a one-seat majority, and forced early general elections.
## Electoral system {#electoral_system}
A new electoral system was introduced for the 2001 elections as a result of the volcanic eruptions rendering four of the seven constituencies uninhabitable. The seven single-member constituencies were replaced with one nine-member constituency in which voters could vote for nine candidates.
## Campaign
A total of 24 candidates contested the elections. The NLPM and the National Progressive Party both fielded nine candidates, with six independents also running

**Clark Stuart Keltie** (born 31 August 1983) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Floreat Athena FC.
He has notably played in the Football League for Darlington, Rochdale and Lincoln City, and in the Icelandic Premier League for Þór Akureyri and 1. deild karla for Víkingur Ólafsvík. He has also been contracted to League of Ireland side Cork City and has appeared back at non-League level for Chester City, Gateshead and Darlington.
## Career
Keltie started his career as a youngster with Walker Central before joining Sunderland on a trial period. After two games he was offered a one-year deal with the Premier League side but decided on giving his services to Darlington on a three-year contract in September 2001. Keltie made his debut at the age of 18 in the final game of the 2001--02 season at Oxford United.
The following season Keltie went from strength to strength, becoming the youngest captain in the club\'s history, in the absence of regular captain Craig Liddle. A cruciate knee ligament injury sustained in training in late January 2005 saw Keltie sidelined for six months. He spent eight years with Darlington until he was released by manager Dave Penney in May 2008 for financial reasons. He had made a total of 179 appearances for the Quakers, scoring 11 goals.
He moved to fellow League Two club Rochdale. Ending the season in the League Two semi-final play-offs, losing out to Gillingham in the second leg. In his second season with Rochdale, Keltie was loaned to Chester City and Gateshead. He had his contracted with Rochdale terminated by mutual consent on 24 December 2009. He trained with former club Darlington and had agreed to re-join them in January 2010 on a six-month deal, but instead moved to Lincoln City.
Initially, Keltie\'s contract at Lincoln City was until the end of the season. However, he impressed sufficiently to be offered another year. Playing a key role in the club\'s survival in League Two.
Keltie signed with Icelandic side Þór Akureyri on 21 July 2011 after leaving Lincoln City, on a deal lasting through the end of the Icelandic season. The club reached the Icelandic national cup final only to finish runner-up to champions KR Reykjavik.
Keltie signed with League of Ireland Premier Division side Cork City in January 2012. After trialling with the club during the summer of 2011, Keltie said on his arrival that he was grateful that Tommy Dunne had given him a second opportunity to sign for the club. The player and club mutually agreed to terminate his contract for personal reasons on 22 January, and Keltie then returned to Darlington on a non-contract basis.
Keltie moved to Iceland again in May 2012 for a short period of time, this time to Víkingur Ólafsvík. The team went on to finish second place, gaining promotion to the Premier League for part of the season.
He returned to England, joining Darlington, but was released by the club after a short period in December 2012

# Emu Downs Wind Farm
The **Emu Downs Wind Farm** (30 30 S 115 20 E region:AU-WA) is a 79.2 MW wind farm in Western Australia. It was a 50:50 joint development between Griffin Energy and Stanwell Corporation. The site is approximately 200 kilometres north of Perth, near Cervantes. Construction of the \$180 million project commenced in November 2005, and the project was commissioned in October 2006.
Emu Downs consists of 48 Vestas wind turbines (each with 1.65 MW generating capacity), a substation, interconnection to the main 132 kV electricity grid, administration and stores buildings, and a network of access roads. The wind farm is close to the coast, with a good quality wind resource that has increased wind speeds and reliability aligning with periods for peak power demand. The prevailing wind blows from the east in the mornings and the *Fremantle Doctor* from the west in the afternoons.
The wind farm provides electricity to the grid. 260 km to the south there is the Perth Seawater Desalination Plant, and turns water from the Indian Ocean into nearly 152 million litres (40 million gallons) of drinking water per day.
Emu Downs is accredited under the Australian Government\'s *Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000* and as a Green Power Generator by the Sustainable Energy Development Authority. In November 2007, Transfield Services purchased Stanwell Corporation\'s 50% shareholding.
In June 2011, the wind farm was acquired by the APA Group for \$170 million from the failed Griffin Group.
When APA group bought Emu Downs, it realised that there is usually a drop in output in the middle of the day as the wind changes. To balance that and achieve better utilisation of transmission infrastructure, APA installed the 20MW Emu Downs Solar Farm on the adjacent site. Its peak output is during the time when the wind farm is not at full capacity, so no additional capacity was needed in the substation or grid connection point. The solar farm began operation in December 2017.
The output of both the solar and wind farms is contracted to Synergy until 2030. The adjacent 130MW Badgingarra Wind Farm was completed in 2019, and has higher capacity factor due to newer components.
## Operations
AEMO records begin in September 2006 for the wind farm. The generation table uses [AEMO Facility SCADA](https://aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/wholesale-electricity-market-wem/data-wem/market-data-wa) to obtain generation values for each month. Emu Downs\'s code is EDWFMAN_WF1, so that is used as part of a SUMIF operation (shown below) on the table to get the total. Note that each month\'s values start 8 hours into the respective month and extend 8 hours into the next month.

# Bochum Dahlhausen Railway Museum
`{{Location map|North Rhine-Westphalia
|float = right
|alt = Bochum Dahlhausen Railway Museum
|label = Bochum Dahlhausen Railway Museum
|caption = Bochum Dahlhausen Railway Museum, North Rhine-Westphalia
|position = right
}}`{=mediawiki} The **Eisenbahnmuseum Bochum-Dahlhausen** is a railway museum situated south of the city of Bochum in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It was founded by DGEG, the German Railway History Company in 1977 and is based in a locomotive depot that was built between 1916 and 1918 and ceased operation in 1969. Then DGEG took over the whole area of 46,000 square metres and built up the biggest railway museum in Germany. In the middle of the museum, there is an engine shed with fourteen tracks. A preserved turntable, coaling, watering, and sanding facilities are still in operation. This museum is integrated into The Industrial Heritage Trail (*Route der Industriekultur*) a route of monuments from the history of the industry.
## Exhibits
The origins of the vehicle collection go back to 1967. A variety of steam locomotives and other technically interesting railway vehicles from different epochs are displayed. There are over 200 exhibits in total. The stars of the exhibition are the heavy locomotives.
Examples include:
- DRG Class 01
- DRG Class 44
- DRG Class 50
- DRG Class 80 (in grey photo livery)
- Bavarian S 3/6 (cut-away model; currently exhibit at Deutsches Museum, Munich)
- Prussian P 8
- Prussian T 9.1 (currently exhibit at Starlight Express musical hall, Bochum)
- Prussian T 20
- Württemberg Hz
- DB Class 66
- DRG Class E 32
- DRB Class E 94
- Wehrmacht locomotive WR 360 C 14
- DB Class 212
- DB Class V 65
- Wismar Railbus
- DB Class ETA 150
Amongst the exhibits there is even a collection of signals with a functioning Prussian signal box, that stood in Cologne-Mülheim until 1982. The exhibits are looked after by 130 mainly voluntary employees, who are also involved in the museum railway services where they wear historical uniforms.
At present the museum is busy refurbishing locomotive number 66 002 with the help of donations.
Museum vehicles and installations are often used for film and television productions. For example, a large part of the railway scenes in the film \"Das Wunder von Bern\" took place in Dahlhausen.
A highlight in the history of the railway museum was the large vehicle show put on in 1985 as part of the 150th anniversary of the German railways.
## Museum railway {#museum_railway}
In summer, regular museum train services are operated by the Ruhr Valley Railway (*Ruhrtalbahn*) along the banks of the river Ruhr to Hagen using usually a Uerdingen railbus, but sometimes a variety of locomotives, including a steam engine. A Prussian P 8 (38 2267) owned by the museum is usually used for the steam services. When there is steam service on the *Ruhrtalbahn* (usually every first Sunday of a month), the Uerdingen railbus operate another abandoned railway, the *Teckel* from Hagen to Ennepetal Klutert cave. In addition, from 2009 there were regular trips to the Zollverein coal mine (*Zeche Zollverein*) via Mülheim and Essen.
Part of the museum train to Hagen includes a restored passenger coach by MAN from 1921 belonging to the Essen Model Railway Club (*Modell-Eisenbahn-Club Essen & Umgebung e.V.*) founded in 1949.
