The M1288 GMV 1.1 is a U.S. Special Operations Command light utility vehicle based on the General Dynamics Flyer 72. The GMV 1.1 replaces the Humvee-based Ground Mobility Vehicle (USSOCOM).
History
In June 2012, the SOCOM requested proposals for a new, better GMV, version 1.1. By contrast to converted Humvees, the vehicle needed to be lighter, faster, more easily transportable by air, sea, and land, and contain next generation communications and computing equipment. The vehicle was expected to be selected by the end of 2012, with production beginning in 2013. 1,300 of the new vehicles are to be in service by 2020. Vehicles entered were the Northrop Grumman Medium Assault Vehicle – Light (MAV-L), AM General's reengineered GMV design, HDT Global's Storm SRTV, the Oshkosh Special Purpose All-Terrain Vehicle (S-ATV), the Navistar Special Operations Tactical Vehicle (SOTV), and General Dynamics Flyer. The winner was expected to be selected in May 2013. The decision for the winner was delayed until August 2013 to work through processes in dealing with vendors.
The remaining contenders included the AM General upgraded GMV, the General Dynamics Flyer, and the Navistar SOTV. In August 2013, General Dynamics was selected as the winner of the contract, potentially valued at $562 million. The vehicle will replace 1,092 GMVs, with funds to buy the first 101 in FY 2014 at $245,000 per vehicle.
In September 2013, AM General and Navistar filed protests over the decision to award the contract to General Dynamics. In December 2013, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) denied Navistar and AM General's protests. In January 2014, AM General sued the SOCOM in the Court of Federal Claims. In April 2014, the US Federal Claims Court rejected AM General's lawsuit, allowing General Dynamics to resume work and continue with the contract.
M1297 Army Ground Mobility Vehicle
The Army is purchasing a limited number of GMVs through SOCOM's GMV 1.1 program as an interim capability. In May 2018, the Army awarded General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS) a $33.8 million contract for the production of GMV 1.1s, which have been type classified as the M1297 Army Ground Mobility Vehicle.

David Strang (July 14, 1887 – January 9, 1967) was an artist and printer, mainly of etchings and drypoints published in limited editions, for many well-known artists in the UK and USA in the 1920s and 1930s.
Early life
David Rogerson Strang was born on 14th July 1887 in Dumbarton, Dunbartonshire, Scotland to William and Agnes Strang, born Agnes McSymon Rogerson. His father, William Strang RA, was an eminent artist and his brother, William Ian Strang RE, was a draughtsman and etcher. He had two other brothers, Peter Denny Strang and Roy Burch Strang, and a sister, Agnes Nancy McSymon Strang.
David Strang studied at the University of Glasgow. During World War I he served as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers.
Work
David Strang's skills as a printer of designs by artists etched or engraved onto zinc or copper plates were in great demand at the end of the etching revival in the 1920s. He printed the plates of etchers such as Edmund Blampied, John Taylor Arms, Robert Austin, Orovida Camille Pissarro and Frederick Clifford Dixon, examples of which are in the British Museum, many of which he donated. He often used laid printing paper with his own watermark, ‘DAVID STRANG’.
David Strang printed much of his father's intaglio work and presented over 1,300 items by William Strang to Glasgow Museums between 1955 and 1962.
Personal life
In April 1918, at the age of 30, Strang married 20-year old Dorothy Bella Labbett at Marylebone in London. Dorothy gave birth to twins in April 1919: a boy named Jean who died, and a girl named Joan who survived. Strang was opposed to Dorothy appearing as a soprano on stage at the London Palladium, which she did under the name Dora Labbette, so she left him in 1920. He was granted a decree for the restitution of conjugal rights in 1921 and Dorothy filed for divorce in 1928. After her separation from Strang, Dorothy had an affair for 13 years with Sir Thomas Beecham, with whom she had a son in March 1933, named Paul Strang.
David Strang died on 9th January 1967 in London, at the age of 79.

Marc McLaughlin is an American ice hockey center currently attending Boston College. He was a member of United States national team at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Playing career
McLaughlin was a fairly unheralded player when he debuted for Boston College in the fall of 2018. As a freshman he provided minimal offense for an underwhelming squad that finished the year with the program's first losing record in over 20 years. While the team improved greatly the following year, McLaughlin's offense only saw modest improvements. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Eagles' season was ended prematurely.
Banking on his ability as a defensive forward, McLaughlin was named team captain entering his junior year. While the entire college hockey circuit was delayed by the pandemic, McLaughlin took charge when he finally did hit the ice. He finished second on the team in scoring and helped BC return to the NCAA Tournament. As a senior, McLaughlin continued to lead the way offensively, however, Boston College had another subpar season and slipped down the Hockey East standings. Regardless of the team's performance, McLaughlin was still held in high regard and was named to the United States national team after the NHL announced that it would not be sending its players to the Winter Olympics, McLaughlin went scoreless in two games while the team finished 5th out of 12 teams.

Montague (Fawcett) Phillips (13 November 1885 – 4 January 1969) was a British composer of light classical music and songs, including the popular operetta The Rebel Maid of 1921.
Career
Born in Tottenham, London, Phillips began his musical career as a choirboy at Saint Botolph's Church, Bishopsgate. He studied piano and organ and made his debut as an organist at the age of twelve. From 1901 he attended the Royal Academy of Music, studying with Frederick Corder and John Blackwood McEwen. His contemporaries included Arnold Bax, York Bowen and Benjamin Dale.
From 1904 Phillips was organist and choirmaster at Christ Church Wanstead, and from 1908 organist of Esher Parish Church, a position he held for 43 years. During the First World War he was part of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in Scotland, where he was stationed with the librettist Gerald Dodson. It was during this time that the first sketches for his operetta The Rebel Maid were created. In 1926 he became a professor at the Royal Academy, while working as a freelance composer and performing as a pianist, accompanist and conductor. His students at the academy included Dennis Brain.
Phillips was friendly with the composers Eric Coates and Haydn Wood. He lived in Esher for more than 50 years, residing at Clare Cottage, Clare Hill. He died there in 1969 at the age of 84, outliving most of his contemporaries. His obituary in The Times described him as "essentially a composer in the salon tradition of the late nineteenth century, to which his musical idiom belonged". His wife Clara Butterworth survived him and most of her family, dying at the age of 109 in 1997.
Music
His early work consisted mainly of ballad songs which he composed for his wife, the soprano Clara Butterworth, who he met at the academy. From 1905 onward his songs were frequently performed at the Proms. Many of them were collected into cycles such as Dream Songs (1912, lyrics Edward Teschemacher), Calendar of Song (1913, lyrics Harold Simpson) and From a Lattice Window (1920, lyrics Edward Lockton). The first larger scale work to gain attention (and publication) was his Magnificat and Nunc Dimitis in Bb, also of 1905.
His operetta The Rebel Maid was first produced at the London Empire in 1921, with Clara Butterworth singing the lead role of Lady Mary Trefusis. Although on stage for only four months due to the contemporary coal strike, it quickly became popular with amateur operatic societies. It includes the song 'The Fishermen of England', often performed separately. A suite of dances was also taken from the score. Despite this success, Phillips wrote only one other opera, The Golden Triangle, which was never performed.
In the first two decades of the century, Phillips also composed a series of extended concert works, such as the symphonic poem Boadicea (1907), the Symphony in C minor (1911), two piano concertos (1907 and 1919) and a string quartet. The Piano Concerto No 2 in E major received its premiere at the Proms in 1920 and became a favourite of conductor Vilém Tauský.
But today he is best remembered for his light orchestral and piano pieces including suites of short, descriptive music such as Village Sketches (1932), The World in the Open Air (1933) and the Surrey Suite (1936), as well as single movements for concert bands such as the overture Revelry (1937), the Empire March (1942, written for the Proms), and Hampton Court (1954, one of his last compositions). Phillips also wrote for the organ and for choirs.
Recordings of his orchestral music were issued in two volumes by Dutton in 2004 and 2005. These were followed by recordings of the two piano concertos in 2008 with soloist David Owen Norris.

Dearc ( ) is a genus of large-bodied rhamphorhynchine pterosaur from the Middle Jurassic of Scotland. The holotype, a juvenile or subadult that was still actively growing, has an estimated wingspan of 2.5 to 3 meters, making it the largest flying animal of its time. This pushes the origin of large pterosaurs back significantly, as it was previously assumed that pterosaurs did not reach greater body sizes until the short-tailed pterodactyloid lineages of the Cretaceous. The genus contains a single species, Dearc sgiathanach ( ).
History
The holotype of Dearc, NMS G.2021.6.1-4, was found in 2017 by Amelia Penny in the Lealt Shale Formation and consists of a three-dimensionally preserved skeleton preserved in articulation in a slab of limestone (separated into four pieces for preparation). The specimen preserves most of the body with the exception of the end of the tail, most of the hindlimbs, parts of the wing and the very tip of the beak. The specimen was found on the east coast of the peninsula of Trotternish, part of the Isle of Skye in north-west Scotland, and the rock slab removed to the University of Edinburgh. The fossil was prepared by Nigel Larkin. It is to be displayed by National Museums Scotland.
Naming
In 2022, the type species Dearc sgiathanach was named and described by Natalia Jagielska, Michael O’Sullivan, Gregory F. Funston, Ian B. Butler, Thomas J. Challands, Neil D.L. Clark, Nicholas C. Fraser, Amelia Penny, Dugald A. Ross, Mark Wilkinson and Stephen Louis Brusatte.
The name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic language and has a double meaning. It can be simultaneously translated as "winged reptile" and "reptile from Skye", as dearc means "reptile" and sgiathanach (from sgiathan "small wing") means "winged", an element that also appears in the Gaelic name of the Isle of Skye (), often interpreted as meaning "The Winged Island".
Description
Dearc possesses several features typical of fully grown adults in the related Rhamphorhynchus, including the large recurved teeth of the premaxilla, the well developed crest of the humerus, fusion between the scapula-coracoid, smooth bone texture and other features. However, at the same time other areas of the fossil show signs of immaturity, including unfused bones of the skull and unfused sacral vertebrae. Histology supports the later interpretation, indicating that, while at least two years old at its time of death, the animal was still actively growing. The wing bone shows two prominent lines of growth that allow this interpretation and further suggest that it died shortly after emerging from a hiatus in growth.
The wingspan could not be directly measured for Dearc as several phalanges of the wingfinger were missing, in particular the very tip and a central portion of the wing. However, an estimate could be made based on comparison with better sampled taxa, in this case Rhamphorhynchus and Dorygnathus. Using the proportions of Rhamphorhynchus, an estimated wingspan between 2.2 meters (based on skull length) and 3.8 meters (based on humerus length) was recovered. Estimates based on the humerus length of Dorygnathus give an estimated wingspan of 1.9 meters. These results already make Dearc one of the largest known Jurassic pterosaurs, larger than the largest Dorygnathus (1.69 meters wingspan) and smaller among non-pterodactyloids only than a large rhamphorhynchid specimen from Ettling in Germany, consisting of two possible neck vertebrae, which may belong to the genus Rhamphorhynchus. The larger interpretation is favored by the authors for a series of reasons including the well established ontogenetic series of Rhamphorhynchus, phylogenetic proximity and the fact that the holotype of Dearc was still growing, making a wingspan of up to three meters quite possible.
Generally, Dearc shows the typical bodyplan of non-monofenestratan pterosaurs. The neck was short and the tail elongated, supported by interlocking zygapophyses of the caudal vertebrae. The mandibular symphysis is elongated and the metacarpus short. There are however some features shared with pterodactyloids such as a skull longer than the dorsal and sacral vertebrae combined and the shape of the quadrate. Furthermore, although proportionally short compared to pterodactyloids, the cervical vertebrae are notably elongated compared to other non-monofenestratans, resembling those of the more derived Wukongopterus. The dentition shows two distinct types of teeth: elongated fangs close to the tip of the snout and more conical peg-like teeth further back.
The describing authors indicated several distinguishing traits. Four are autapomorphies, unique derived characters. In the palate, the vomers contain three tubes, forming a trident. The contribution of the upper jaw bone, the maxilla, to the palate, in front of the choana, the inner nostril, has a depression. The brain has enlarged optic lobes that are expanded lengthwise. In the foot the fourth metatarsal is more robust than the first, second and third metatarsal, about 2.5 times as thick. Additionally, there are two traits that in themselves are not unique but the combination of which is unique. The infratemporal fenestra is pear-shaped, with the narrow part on top. In the palate, the ectopterygoid bone has an upwards projecting process, running through the choana and perpendicularly contacting the vomer.
Phylogeny
The phylogenetic analysis conducted for Dearc included characters from several independent publications as well as entirely new ones, while also excluding those that are only known from very young animals or known to vary greatly with age. The resulting tree recovered Dearc to lie within the Rhamphorhynchidae, specifically in a clade alongside Angustinaripterus and Sericipterus, the Angustinaripterini.

The season started on 30 August 2019, but was suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the final table was determined by the table at the half-way point of the season. As such, Gor Mahia were crowned champions and Chemelil Sugar were relegated, with SoNy Sugar having been expelled earlier in the season. Kisumu All Stars were later relegated after losing in a relegation play-off to Vihiga United.

Joaquín La Habana (August 30, 1952) is a queer singer, dancer, actor and drag artist.
Early life and career
Joaquín La Habana was born in Havana, Cuba. In 1966 he emigrated to the US, studying music and dance at Elma Lewis School of Fine Arts (1967–1971) and Boston Conservatory at Berklee (1969–1971), with teachers such as James Truitte, Geoffrey Holder, Talley Beatty and others.
In the early 1970s La Habana moved to New York, where he took small roles as a dancer on Broadway and in musical films such as Hair and The Wiz. At the same time, he began to explore the genre of drag, and for a short period lived a female identity in his everyday life.

La Habana worked with the queer theater avantgarde of La MaMa E.T.C., with artists such as Charles Ludlam and Jack Smith. La Habana starred in the queer experimental film Love Thing.
Since 1981, La Habana lives in Berlin. He performed with the Chez Nous theater, performed in stagings of La Cage aux Folles, and in various films of Rosa von Praunheim, notably City of Lost Souls.
In the 1990s he started working on a series of performances exploring his Afro-Caribbean heritage, which he presented in venues such as Ethnological Museum of Berlin, Haus der Kulturen der Welt and Werkstadt der Kulturen, as well as in the frame of Karneval der Kulturen.
Joaquín La Habana practices as a Santéria priest and regularly teaches workshops and classes in Afro-Caribbean Music and Dance. He lives in Berlin.

Henry James Pidding, (1797 – 1864) was an English humorous artist.
Henry James Pidding, born in London in 1797, was son of a stationer and lottery-office keeper at No. 1 Cornhill. He is said to have been a pupil of Azilo, a painter of domestic scenes. Pidding attained some note by his paintings of humorous subjects from domestic life, and was a very prolific exhibitor at the Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street, of which society he was elected a member in 1843. He also exhibited pictures at the Royal Academy, the British Institution, and various local exhibitions. About 1860 he attempted to make a sensation with a larger painting of The Gaming Rooms at Homburg. Several of his pictures were engraved, some by his own hand in mezzotint, such as The Greenwich Pensioners (now at Woburn Abbey), Massa out, Sambo very dry (formerly in the collection of Lord Charles Townshend), A Negro in the Stocks, A Fair Penitent, and many others. In 1836 Pidding etched a series of six humorous illustrations to The Rival Demons, an anonymous poem. Pidding resided at Greenwich, where he died on 13 June 1864, aged 67.

Guillaume Cop (in German Wilhelm Kopp, in Latin Gulielmus Copus ), born in Basel in the 1460s, died in Paris on December 2, 1532, He was a Renaissance physician and humanist.
Biography
He matriculated as a student of the University of Basel in the winter of 1478/79 . His tutor was Johannes Heberling of Schwäbisch Gmünd , an enthusiastic listener of Johannes Reuchlin (who taught in Basel in 1477 ). In his native town he received his license, master of arts, and devoted himself for three years to the study of medicine. After no doubt staying in other cities, he reached Paris around 1488 and enrolled in the faculty of medicine. He received a bachelor's degree in medicine on 19 march 1492, dismissed on 13 April 1496 (first on the candidate presentation list), then doctor on May 17 following. At that date he was already married to Étiennette Turgis, with whom he had four sons ( Nicolas Cop, born around 1501 , was the third).
He began learning Greek with Janus Lascaris (who arrived in France in 1494 ). Around 1497, he met Erasmus , then in Paris : that year and three years later, he treated him for bouts of fever. The two men became friends, and when Erasmus really became fluent in Greek from 1500 onwards, he enjoyed it. He also attended the classes of Jérôme Aléandre , who came to teach in Paris in 1508 and dedicated his edition of De divinatione deCicero in 1510 . He was also a close friend of Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples (whose insomnia problems he treated in 1505 ) and of Guillaume Budé (with whom he campaigned for the foundation in Paris of a college for the teaching of ancient languages).
In 1512 he was appointed personal physician to King Louis XII . He followed him in his war in Flanders and was present at the Battle of Guinegatte on 16 August 1513. In 1514, he took up the defense of Johannes Reuchlin , whom the faculty of theology in Paris had condemned. He was also the first physician to King Francis I , at the latest in 1523 and until his death . He was commissioned in 1517, with Guillaume Budé , to transmit to Erasmus the king's proposals intended to attract him to Paris , and it was to him that Erasmus addressed the letter by which he dodged the invitation.
Written works
Guillaume Cop composed a Tractatus astrologicus ex variis antiquis desumptus . Otherwise, he translated from Greek into Latin , and edited, ancient medical works:
The healthful precepts of Paul Aegineta, Paris , Henri Asbury , 1510, and Strasbourg , Mathias Schurer , 1511
Hippocrates Coi's Presagiorum and the same De rations of diet in acute diseases, Paris, 1511 , and Henri Estienne , 1512 .
Galen 's knowledge of the affective places of the six books, Paris, Henri Estienne , 1513 .
Galen On the causes and differences of diseases and symptoms , Paris , Josse Bade , 1523 .
Paul's Ægineta, Strasbourg , Georges Ulricher, 1531

Oleg Leonidovich Burlakov (; August 24, 1949 - June 21, 2021) was a Russian inventor, entrepreneur and billionaire. He was also the co-owner of Stroylesbank, the main shareholder of the Burneftegaz company (85%), the former owner and chairman of the board of Novoroscement, the owner of the Terpentin paint and varnish factory in Visegrad and the Impulse Investment and Construction Company.
In 2021, Burlakov was ranked 177th in the Russian Forbes list with a fortune of $650 million. In the same year, he died from COVID-19.
Biography
Oleg Burlakov was born in Leningrad in 1949. He graduated from school in the village of Bagerovo near Kerch. Burlakov's father was transferred to serve in a military unit engaged in the development of means of delivering atomic weapons to test sites such as those in Semipalatinsk and Novaya Zemlya. Upon finishing his preliminary education, Oleg Burlakov entered the Kiev military aviation school. In 1972, Burlakov became an officer in the Soviet Air Force. He devoted most of his time to scientific research and was involved in secret military research for the aviation and space industries.
In 1980, he successfully defended his dissertation and became a Candidate of Technical Sciences at the Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy.
He then served in Kharkov as head of the Department of Aircraft Equipment Operation at the Higher Military Aviation Engineering School.
In 1989, he left military service on moral grounds, a few years after which he and his family moved to Canada.
In 2018, someone attempted to assassinate the businessman in Moscow. The Police learned that an unknown man ran up to Burlakov while he was sitting in a Cadillac Escalade, and called out to him. When the businessman rolled down his window, the man fired several shots in the direction of the car. However, no one was injured in the incident.
In the same year, Oleg Burlakov was hospitalized, and arsenic was found in his system, suggesting an attempted poisoning.
The businessman attributed the attempts to a conflict over the division of property during his divorce proceedings and the alleged embezzlement of family funds by his wife Lyudmila Burlakova (Marchenko), who had filed for divorce in December 2018.
Oleg Burlakov had been living in Monaco, where he had received a residence permit in 2011. The businessman also had a Canadian passport.
Death
Oleg Burlakov died on June 21, 2021, in the Lapino clinic near Moscow after battling COVID-19.
The businessman's sister Vera Kazakova wanted to bury him at the Serafimovsky Cemetery in St. Petersburg, where the graves of his mother, father and grandmother are located and where Burlakov himself, according to Kazakova, wanted to be buried. However, the businessman's widow Lyudmila Burlakova and her daughters Veroniсa and Elena insisted on burying the body in Canada, despite that, according to Izvestia, they never visited Oleg Burlakov in the hospital. Kazakova claims that throughout the course of the businessman's illness, none of Burlakov's immediate family asked for information about his state of health. However, representatives of Burlakov's wife and daughters have stated that they did request such information.
The authorities refused to release the body to Vera Kazakova. Later, people who introduced themselves as lawyers of Lyudmila Burlakova removed the body from the morgue.
Vera Kazakova demanded the Investigative Committee check on the circumstances of her brother's death and find out whether the mortuary staff had the right to refuse to give her his body.
The deceased was moved to another morgue by order of the investigator, but Burlakov's widow appealed the decision. The body was eventually taken by the lawyers again.
At present, potential violations in the removal of the body are being investigated and the issue of initiating a criminal case is being decided. In October 2021, the circumstances of the removal of Oleg Burlakov's body abroad began and were analyzed by the Solntsevsky interdistrict investigative department (Investigative Directorate, the Western Administrative District of Moscow). The inspection showed that Vnukovo customs officers had accepted false documents in regard to the export of the billionaire's body, as a result of which, the body was sent to Switzerland, and then to Canada.
Oleg Burlakov was buried in a cemetery in Toronto.
However, according to the magazine «Company» source, Burlakov's body was buried in the columbarium wall without an identification plate.
Scientific activities
Burlakov is the author of more than 30 scientific publications and more than 5 scientific inventions, for which he was awarded the title "Honored Inventor of the USSR". One of his works was awarded with a diploma of the Commander-in-Chief of the Air Forces.

Business
Fuel systems manufacturing
In 1989, Burlakov, together with Nikolai Ivanovich Kazakov, Candidate of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences, geochemical engineer and entrepreneur (and the husband of Burlakov's sister Vera) organized the multi-profile cooperative scientific-production association “Integral” in Kharkov, which was engaged in the development of fuel systems for the Soviet military industry and parts for spacecraft. Burlakov was personally involved in the development of the company, which became one of the largest companies engaged in such work in the 1990s.
Oil industry
In the 1990s, together with N. I. Kazakov, he created Sovinterfrance, a Soviet-French joint venture in Kharkov.
Activities began with the construction of refrigerated warehouses. Burlakov then decided to reorient the company and move into trade: it purchased submersible oil pumps from Kharkov Electromechanical Plant and sent them to Russia in exchange for oil. In 1992, the Sovinterfrance company opened a branch in St. Petersburg and exported 217 thousand tons of Russian oil. A year later, the company opened a subsidiary and the Ukrainian Sovinterfrance was closed.
In 2005, Oleg Burlakov, together with Pavel Mitrofanov, founded Burneftegaz, a company that bought up oil fields at auctions. Burlakov was involved in attracting investment to expand the business. As a result of his efforts, 8 development licenses were obtained, and in 2013, oil and gas condensate production amounted to 291,975 tons.
In 2014, Mitrofanov left Russia, accused of offering a 5 million ruble bribe, at which point Burlakov decided to sell Burneftegaz. Burlakov's investments amounted to $700 million, 85% of which were borrowed funds. The company was sold to Bashneft for $1 billion, about $600 million of which went to pay off debts. Burlakov received about $360 million for his 85% share. The businessman invested most of the money in financial instruments.
Cement production
In 1992, Oleg Leonidovich and his companions received control over the Belgorod cement plant, investing around $500 thousand . They eventually sold the plant in 2003.
In November 1993, companies belonging to Burlakov and Kazakov acquired shares of the cement giant Novoroscement at a voucher auction. The holding consisted of three plants with a capacity of more than 4 million tons of cement a year, 1 million tons of which was exported. In 2003, the businessman obtained a controlling interest by buying out a 31.7% stake from Holderbank.
In 2007, Burlakov and Kazakov sold Novoroscement for $1.2 billion to Lev Kvetnoy, another Russian businessman on the Forbes list. Burlakov was directly involved in the strategic development and management of the company. As a result of his decisions, by 2007, the cement output of Novoroscement had increased by 1.3 mln tons in comparison with 2003 (when Burlakov took over the controlling interest), reaching 3.8 mln tons.
Other
In the 1990s, Oleg Burlakov was an entrepreneur who, in partnership with Kazakov, successfully bought and sold assets in different industries. In 1998, they acquired the Roscem – a berth and cargo unit in Ust-Luga in Leningrad Oblast.
In 2008, they purchased Krasnodarpromzheldortrans in Krasnodar.
In the same year, Burlakov privatized the Terpentin paint and varnish factory in Visegrad, and in 2012, he concessioned a lignite and bentonite deposit in Serbia, investing about 23.5 million convertible marks.
Burlakov also invested in real estate development and construction, a market he was brought into by Alexander Kripak, former deputy chief of the Navy. He also invested in Karelian platinoids mining at the invitation of Vladimir Grishaenko, a former KGB handler for Gokhran.
As of 2014, he owned a 74.88% share in Stroylesbank and a 20.99% share in Krasnodarpromzheldortrans. As of 2021, he officially owned the transportation company Krasnodarpromzheldortrans, the “Kalinka” business center including “Tyumen Hilton” hotel in it in the downtown of Tyumen, and Stroylesbank.
The Black Pearl (yacht)
Oleg Burlakov has been fond of ship modeling since childhood and for a long time nurtured the idea of building his own boat. In 2005, after reading the news about the first flexible liquid-crystal solar batteries, the businessman had the idea to use solar batteries instead of sails.
In the implementation of this design, Burlakov worked with the English designer Ken Freivokh, who developed the Maltese Falcon in 2006, a yacht with a unique 15-square-sail system that can be set up in only six minutes. A similar sailing system was installed on Burlakov's yacht, the Black Pearl, but with flexible solar panels integrated into the fabric of the sails.
Construction on the yacht began in 2010. As of 2018, Oleg Burlakov had invested more than 250 million euros in its design and creation, 150 of which were loans from European banks. The total amount of investments is estimated to be between 250 and 400 million euros.
The yacht was finally launched in 2016. The Black Pearl is the only vessel in the world capable of storing energy from alternative sources and utilizing them.
Burlakov considered his yacht a scientific project and prototype, planning to later use the technology to develop cargo ships that run on alternative energy sources. In 2019, the Black Pearl was named "World's Best Sailboat" by The World Superyacht Awards.
Oleg Burlakov was directly involved in the creation of the yacht. Among other things, he invented a mechanism for the masts, which he began patenting in 2018.
Burlakov planned to scale the technologies used on the Black Pearl. He negotiated with representatives of the United Shipbuilding Corporation about using these developments in Russia.
Burlakov paid a lot of attention to ecology in the construction of the ship: the water on board is reused and the team uses treated sewage to wash the floors. It features separated garbage collection, reusable packages, and a minimum of plastic and chemicals - the "environmental policy" on board is very strict.
Family
Burlakov's mother was a medical worker, and his father was a military engineer. His sister Vera is an economic engineer married to Burlakov's business partner Nikolai Kazakov.
Burlakov was married Lyudmila Burlakova, (02/07/1951), with whom he had two daughters: Elena (29/10/1973) and Veronica (18/12/1985).
Divorce proceedings
In 2018, Lyudmila Burlakova began divorce proceedings, which were accompanied by a monetary dispute between the spouses. Oleg Burlakov believed that his wife had stolen money and initiated a criminal investigation against her in Monaco.
In March 2019, the court decided to separate Lyudmila and Oleg Burlakov inside their apartment in Monaco: the 10th and 11th floor with a swimming pool were given to Lyudmila, while the 9th floor was left to the businessman.
In September 2019, Burlakov accused his wife and youngest daughter Veronica of fraud. According to him, the two embezzled $1 billion, which belonged to Nikolai Kazakov. In the lawsuit, the businessman argued that part of the funds belonged to his business partner, with whom he had earned the money from the sale of the Burneftegaz ($1 billion) and Novoroscement ($1.45 billion) companies. In 2018, without the consent of Burlakov and Kazakov, the money was withdrawn into various offshore accounts belonging to Lyudmila Burlakova, including one on the island of Guernsey. Some of the money ended up in the accounts of Burlakov's daughters and some in a Bahamian trust, whose beneficiaries are the businessman's wife and daughters.
However, the Zurich prosecutor's office and the appellate court rejected Burlakov's claim, stating that there was no evidence of a fiduciary relationship with Kazakov. As of December 2021, a similar case began pending before a court in Monaco.
In 2019, a tracker monitoring Burlakov's movements was found on his plane. The Nice prosecutor's office launched an investigation into the invasion of Burlakov's privacy. According to Forbes’ sources, the tracker was brought on board in a bag carried by his daughter Veronika.
In 2020, Lyudmila Burlakova filed a lawsuit against her husband in the High Court of England and Wales. In addition to her husband, 12 individuals and entities in Switzerland were marked as defendants, including Leo Trust, the company that managed the Burlakovs' joint accounts.
Earlier, the Swiss publication Finews, citing court documents, wrote that two former members of Leo Trust's board of directors in Zurich had filed a lawsuit against the owner and chairman of the company's board of directors. They accused him of falsifying and setting up a $1.35 billion loan agreement retroactively for Oleg Burlakov. After that, the director of Leo Trust filed a counterclaim against these two members of the board of directors of the company accusing them of forging documents, data theft and attempted blackmail.
However, a Leo Trust representative told Forbes that the Finews article was the result of "a smear campaign currently being conducted by Burlakova's entourage and aimed at undermining Leo Trust's professional reputation and business." The company denied all criminal charges against it.
Oleg Burlakov's adult daughters, Veronica and Elena, stopped communicating with their father, taking the side of their mother. According to an Izvestia source, Burlakov made several attempts to establish relations with his daughters, but received only formal letters from the daughters' lawyers demanding that all contact cease in response.
The divorce was supposed to be finalized at the end of the summer of 2021, but the businessman passed away before it was completed.
Inheritance Claims
Oleg Burlakov's inheritance is being claimed by Lyudmila Burlakova, both of his daughters, his sister Vera Kazakova and her husband and business partner Nikolai Kazakov. It is also being claimed by Sofia Shevtsova, who is acting in the interest of her daughter who is a minor, whose father is allegedly Burlakov. Shevtsova filed a lawsuit in St. Petersburg in December 2021 to establish that Oleg Burlakov was indeed her daughter's father.
In 2004, Oleg Burlakov made a will, in which his wife was named as his only heir.
After his death, however, another will was found, that was handwritten and dated 2019. In this document, he leaves all of his property to his sister Vera Kazakova and her husband Nikolai Kazakov: his wife and daughters are not mentioned in this version of the will. The businessman also instructs his sister and brother-in-law to take care of Sofia Shevtsova and her daughter as well as other members of his family.
In accordance with the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the form of the will is determined by the law of the country in which the person had permanent residence at the time of its preparation. It cannot be invalidated due to observance of its form if the form complies with the laws of the place where the will was made.
In the Civil Code of Monaco, a handwritten will is recognized as valid if it has been drawn up in full, dated and signed personally by the person who leaves it. Therefore, as Izvestia's expert explains, the Russian court will have to recognize the will.
However, in an interview with Izvestia, lawyers for Oleg Burlakov's wife and daughters stated that the will is "a piece of paper with notes of unknown authorship, origin, and meaning, and has not been submitted to the Russian inheritance file in accordance with the procedure established by law”.

Itō Sukechika (伊東 祐親, died March 20, 1182) was a samurai warlord and gōzoku of the Izu Province in the late Heian period. He was the 6th head of the Kudō clan and the founder of the Kawazu clan. He is also known as Kawazu Sukechika.
Life
Itō Jirō was born in Izu Province as the second son of Itō Sukeie. His grandfather was Kudō Suketaka, the founder of the Itō clan.
He fought against his nephew (also said to be his cousin) Kudō Suketsune over the division of the territory of his family estate, Itō Manor. The manor was ultimately inherited by Suketsune, but Sukechika took over the manor while Suketsune was in Kyoto. Sukechika also made his daughter, Mangō Gozen, who was married to Suketsune, divorce him.
Suketsune was deeply angered over these events and ordered the assassination of Sukechika. In October 1176, a group of thugs attacked Sukechika, who was hunting in Okuno, Izu Province with his son Kawazu Sukeyasu. The arrow shot at Sukechika missed, and hit Sukeyasu instead, killing him. Sukeyasu's two sons, Tokimune and Sukenari later killed Suketsune in 1193, which came to be known as the Revenge of the Soga Brothers.
Sukechika later served the Taira clan, and governed the Kawazu Manor in Izu Province. He took the name Kawazu from the Kawazu Manor he lived in, thus establishing the Kawazu clan.
Sukechika attempted to kill Minamoto no Yoritomo, who was exiled to Izu Province, over an alleged relationship between Yoritomo and Sukechika's daughter. In 1180, Sukechika surrounded Yoritomo at Ishibashiyama, and succeeded in routing Yoritomo's force. However, during the Battle of Fujigawa, Sukechika was caught by the Minamoto clan, and his captivity was entrusted to his son-in-law, Miura Yoshizumi. Thanks to Yoshizumi's relentless efforts, Sukechika was pardoned, but committed suicide by the sword from his own shame on March 20, 1182.
Genealogy
The Itō clan were a gōzoku clan that claimed descent from the Fujiwara clan, a powerful family of Japanese regents and court nobility, through Fujiwara no Korekimi (727–789).
The two grandsons of Sukechika, Tokimune and Sukenari, known as the Soga brothers, are known for the Revenge of the Soga Brothers incident of 1193. In the early modern period, the Itō clan were the lords of Obi Domain in Hyūga Province.

The Hechingen–Gammertingen railway is a branch line in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is owned by the owned by the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn (HzL). It runs from Hechingen via Burladingen to Gammertingen and is single track and non-electrified throughout.
The route is also known as the Hohenzollernbahn (Hohenzollern Railway) or Zollern-Alb-Bahn 2 (ZAB 2), and the Hechingen–Burladingen section is also known as the Killertalbahn (Killer Valley Railway).
History
Since the Prussian Province of Hohenzollern (Hohenzollern Lands) was an elongated territory partly surrounded by the Kingdom of Württemberg, the line of the Royal Württemberg State Railways (Königlich Württembergischen Staats-Eisenbahnen) at this time only used the shortest route through this "foreign" area and only served the two district towns of Hechingen (from 1869) and Sigmaringen (from 1878). The HzL as the Actiengesellschaft Hohenzollern’sche Kleinbahngesellschaft (Hohenzollern light railway company), now the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn, was founded in 1899 to build Kleinbahnen (light railways as authorised by a Prussian law of 1892) in the Hohenzollern Lands. On 18 March 1901 the Hechingen–Burladingen section was opened as the second HzL line. The 13.6–kilometre line was not connected to any other railway line and was a so-called "island operation". It was only in 1908 that the Burladingen–Gammertingen section was connected to the Engstingen–Gammertingen railway, which also belonged to the HzL. As a result, the gap between Gammertingen and the existing Sigmaringendorf–Hanfertal railway was closed, providing a connection to the Ulm–Sigmaringen railway.
Operations
The RB 68 service runs hourly from Hechingen via Gammertingen to Sigmaringen, although not all services serve the entire line and continue from Gammertingen to Sigmaringen. The Schlatt, Killer, Burladingen West and Gammertingen Europastraße stations have been established as request stops.
Local rail passenger transport is contracted by the state of Baden-Württemberg. In the 2016 contract awards, the HzL was once again able to win the contract for network 14b (Zollern-Alb-Bahn 2). The current transport contract with SWEG, which has been the legal successor to the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn since the 2018 merger, runs until 2025.
Until the timetable change in 2020, Regio-Shuttle 1 diesel multiple units in the red-beige livery of the Hohenzollerische Landesbahn operated on the line. Now Lint 54 sets in the Baden-Württemberg state livery are used for passenger services.

He resigned on January 20, 2017, to make way for the incoming Trump administration.
Post-government career
Since leaving the government, McGinn has continued to occupy advisory roles in various energy-related organizations. On April 12, 2018, it was announced that McGinn had been elected to a four-year term on the board of directors of the Electric Power Research Institute.

Johann Caspar Goethe (29 July 1710 - 25 May 1782) was a wealthy German jurist and royal councillor to the Kaiser of the Holy Roman Empire. His son, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, is considered one of the greatest German poets and authors of all time.
Biography
Johann Caspar Goethe was born in Frankfurt in 1710 as the youngest son of Friedrich Georg Goethe and Cornelia Walther. Between 1725 and 1730 Goethe attended the Casimirianum gynmnasium in Coburg, after which he studied law, first in Giessen and for four years from 1731 in Leipzig. In 1738 he was awarded a doctorate of both laws in Giessen. Goethe then worked at the Reichskammergericht in Wetzlar. He became acquainted with the workings of the Perpetual Diet in Regensburg as well as the Aulic Council in Vienna, both important institutions of the Holy Roman Empire.
Around 1740, Goethe undertook an educational tour of Italy about which he wrote a travel book in Italian titled "Viaggo per l'Italia" ("My Journey Through Italy" in English), in which he detailed the cities, buildings and objects he encountered on his travels. At the end of 1741 Goethe returned to his native Frankfurt, where he had owned two adjoining timber houses with his mother since 1733. He aspired to political office in Frankfurt, but was denied because his half-brother Hermann Goethe was already a member of the council, and direct relatives were barred from holding office in the same city council.
In May 1742, Goethe paid 300 Guilder for the title of "Imperial Councillor" under Karl VII, who had lived in Frankfurt for much of his reign. The Kaiser held Goethe in high esteem, but died in 1745, leaving Goethe unable to pursue his desired career as an imperial diplomat.
Goethe lived the rest of his life as a private citizen. The income from his fortune allowed him to maintain his household without having to work. With the exception of a few excursions, Goethe did not leave Frankfurt for the rest of his life. On 20 August 1748, aged 30 years old, he married Imperial Councillor Catharina Elisabeth Textor.
On 25 June 1749, Goethe obtained Frankfurt citizenship. From then on he devoted himself entirely to his private studies, the creation of a collection of expensive books and artwork, and the raising of his children. His oldest son, Johann Wolfgang, was born on 28 August 1749. Goethe had 5 other children, but only Cornelia, born in 1750, survived until adulthood.
After the death of his mother on 1 April 1754, Goethe had the two inter-connected houses remodelled into a spacious new building with 20 rooms and a staircase modelled on the Kaiser's in Rome. The new house provided sufficient space for Goethe's large library and art collection. When the house was sold in 1795, it was recorded that Goethe's library contained approximately 2000 volumes, amongst them legal and historical works, ancient and contemporary literature in several languages, travelogues and theological works. Goethe's art collection consisted entirely of contemporary works by Frankfurt artists; no inventory of the collection has survived. Goethe also collected plaster casts of antique sculptures as well as minerals.
in 1759, French troops occupied Frankfurt during the Seven Years' War. The French city commander, Count Thoranc, stayed in Goethe's house for several months during this time. Goethe found this a nuisance, especially because he was a supporter of Prussia, France's enemy in the war.
After around 1770, Goethe gradually lost his mental facilities. In 1779, he suffered a stroke, followed by a second in 1780. Goethe was paralysed after this second stroke, and died on 25 May 1782. He left his son Johann Wolfgang a considerable fortune of around 90,000 Guilders. Goethe is buried in the family plot at Peterskirchhof in Frankfurt.

In 1918, he was transferred to Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya and worked as the town's parish priest. In 1926, he assigned to his home country Holland and he was appointed as rector of the CICM Seminary in Nijmegen. On January 27, 1928, he was appointed the third bishop of the Diocese of Tuguegarao, succeeding Bishop Santiago Sancho who was appointed Bishop of Nueva Segovia. His episcopal ordination took place in Nijmegen on March 18 of the same year and was consecrated by Bishop Arnold Frans Diepen, Bishop of ’s Hertogenbosch (Bois-le-Duc). Co-consecrators were Bishop Pieter Adriaan Willem Hopmans of Breda and Bishop Gilles de Böck (Boeck), C.I.C.M., Vicar Apostolic of Lisala, Congo (Dem. Rep.) And Titular Bishop of Azotus. On September 4, 1928 he formally took possession of his diocese and his motto was "Ad Iesum Eucharisticum per Mariam".
Bishop of Tuguegarao
Known as the "teaching bishop", he was much loved by the Cagayanos for his generosity. He was well known for his promotion of education as a tool for evangelization. He was the bishop of Tuguegarao when the Dominicans closed the Colegio-Seminario de San Jacinto in 1932. However, there were good things that followed. In 1933, he invited the missionaries of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD) to work in the parishes of Northwestern Cagayan. In 1939, he opened the Cagayan Valley Atheneum which was based at the old convento adjacent to the cathedral. Being a CICM missionary, Bishop Jurgens promoted Marian devotions fervently to his diocese. When World War II entered Philippine shores, Bishop Jurgens continued his ministry until the Japanese arrested him in 1944 and he was incarcerated in Los Banos for being an "American sympathizer". In his imprisonment, his health began to decline. Unfortunately, his diocese was not spared from destruction caused by the fighting from 1944 to 1945. Thus, his Cathedral and many of the diocesan properties were destroyed. He was eventually liberated by the Americans in 1945 and returned to Tuguegarao a "sick man". His body was weak but his spirit was still strong.
He ardently worked for the rehabilitation of his diocese. In 1945, the Jesuits took over the Atheneum and it was later named "Ateneo de Tuguegarao". He also invited the La Salette Fathers to work in the parishes of Western Isabela because the number of his CICM confreres decreased in number during the closing years of the war. On June 6, 1950, Bishop Constant Jurgens resigned from his post and was succeeded by his coadjutor Bishop Alejandro Olalia. He was also appointed as Titular Bishop of Acarassus by Pope Pius XII after having accepted his resignation on the same day. On November 28, 1950, the provincial government of Cagayan named him as an "Adopted Son of Cagayan"; the second person to be bestowed such a title. He retired at the CICM Provincialate in Quezon City until his death on June 3, 1952. In respect to his last wishes, his body was brought home to Tuguegarao and he was buried at the epistle side of the Tuguegarao Cathedral.
Coat of Arms
The coat of arms of Bishop Jurgens bears the motto "Ad Jesum Eucharisticum per Mariam" which translates into "To the Eucharistic Jesus though Mary" in which his devotion to the Sacred Virgin Mary is revealed, leading us all to the center of our love and our faith, which is Jesus in the Sacred Eucharist.

Space/Time – Redemption is an album by drummer Milford Graves and bassist Bill Laswell. It was recorded in September and October 2013, and was released by TUM Records in 2014.
When asked to describe the experience of playing with Laswell as a rhythm section without a "horn out front," Graves responded: "I guess it's according to what kind of tradition you’re coming from... So-called Western culture, they changed the hierarchy of instrumentation... Some people may think they have to make adjustments, if that's what they came from, a so-called Western concept, where drums are in the background." Graves continued: "with this particular situation with Bill and myself... our understanding exceeds a single concept of how to play music. So that way, you can have more to say on the instrument, than if you're just playing one particular style of music... So bass and drums? No problem. As long as the bass player's right, as long as he can stretch."
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek wrote: "This duet recording... is remarkable on many levels... Laswell and Graves display an inherent and profound sensitivity in their approach to this material. While none of these five tracks is less than nine minutes long, there is precious little to any excess involved... Space/Time – Redemption is a welcome engagement by two players communicating on a deep and intricate level, listening deeply while simultaneously going all-in."
John Garratt of PopMatters stated: "Space/Time – Redemption goes beyond 'good', or 'decent', or 'admirable'. This one-hour jam is an extraordinary creature with a nervous system and a pulse, fermenting underneath the perceived limitations of the instruments involved. It's hardly a 'look at how clever we can be with limited tools!' gimmick, more of a 'hey, try this on' kind of invitation."
Writing for All About Jazz, Dave Wayne commented: "A musical odd couple, perhaps, these guys are two of the deepest musical thinkers (and doers) of their time. Their collaboration... is nothing less than fascinating." In a separate All About Jazz review, Budd Kopman stated: "Each improvised piece has its own flow. Graves' playing is highly complex in its use of constantly changing polyrhythms, but is also surprisingly simple and direct in its emotional message. Laswell provides at times long, flowing lines that are anchored tonally to the bass drum, and at other times provides counter rhythmic sounds, playing off Graves. The total effect is mesmerizing and deeply emotional. Through Graves and Laswell, we can begin to understand that we are not merely isolated, single atoms being tossed about in a chaotic and incomprehensible universe, but rather that we are a part of the universe that is conscious of itself."
In an article for Jazz Weekly, George W. Harris wrote: "What keeps this from devolving into either a self indulgent cacophony or repetitious rhythm workout is the fact that Laswell mixes up the basses and creates some fascinating sounds... Graves varies between drum patterns and tambourine dashes... to rumbling thunder with resonant rock hints."
John Sunier, in a review for Audiophile Audition, remarked: "The five extensive pieces feature Graves' expressive, constantly evolving approach to rhythm; while Laswell displays his sometimes neglected musical intuition and ability to furnish astute accompaniment and provide relatable improvisations... There is lyricism, although not the sort which is easy to grasp; and melodicism, but also not spoon-fed."
Writing for Burning Ambulance, Phil Freeman commented: "It's hard to think of a precedent for Space/Time – Redemption—it's a collision of two sounds, two aesthetics, that on the surface couldn’t be farther apart. But at the same time, pairing Milford Graves with a more 'traditionally free' bassist would probably have just resulted in an hour of flurrying clatter-and-boing, and been much less satisfying than this weird, dreamlike encounter."
In an article for Red Bull Music Academy, Hank Shteamer wrote: "Space/Time – Redemption is unlike any other Milford Graves recording. Thanks to Laswell's atmospheric approach, it has a luminous, inviting feel – more ambient meditation than free-jazz tussle. It’s one of the year's most immersive albums."

Tina Passman is an American classical scholar, who is Emeritus Associate Professor of Classical Language and Literature at the University of Maine. Alongside David Halperin, Passman was one of the first co-chairs of the Lesbian and Gay Classical Caucus, now Lambda Classical Caucus, which was founded in 1989. She studied for her BA, MA and PhD in Classics at the University of Iowa. Her research interests include women in the ancient world, multiculturalism, community building and inclusion. She pioneered online teaching and the adoption of universal design in her field.
Passman has voiced interpretations that recognized a "patriarchal voice" in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. In 1993 her article "Out of the Closet and into the Field: Matriculture, the Lesbian Perspective, and Feminist Classics" was published which discussed the neglect of America's first woman classicist, Jane Harrison, and tied that neglect to an unpopularity of lesbian perspectives in the field. However, her perspectives on both matriarchy and Jane Harrison were challenged in by Simon Goldhill who described her views as "uncritical".

Walking Home: Travels with a Troubadour on the Pennine Way is a 2012 non-fiction book by the Yorkshire poet Simon Armitage. It chronicles his attempt to walk the long-distance trail the opposite way to that usually taken, from north to south. Along the way, he takes no money, stays with strangers, and gives poetry readings to pay his expenses. The book is illustrated with Armitage's photographs taken along the route. Two of his poems are included in the chapters about the places the poems describe.
The book was warmly received by critics in British newspapers. They note that it fits into the tradition of slightly eccentric mid-life journeys, as well as of the productive effect of walking on poetry. They enjoyed the humorous accounts of British interiors and of hazards including weird fogs, bulls, blisters, clagging mud, and a university friend who pops up and cadges free board and lodging.
Context
Simon Armitage is an English poet, playwright and novelist. He was appointed as Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom in 2019. He is professor of poetry at the University of Leeds and became Oxford Professor of Poetry when he was elected to the four-year part-time appointment from 2015 to 2019. He was born and raised in Marsden, West Yorkshire, a village on the Pennine Way near its southern end, and still lives nearby.
Book
Publication history
Walking Home: Travels with a Troubadour on the Pennine Way was published in hardback by Faber and Faber in 2012. They produced a paperback edition in 2013.
Synopsis
The book chronicles the poet's walk along the Pennine Way from its usual end-point, Kirk Yetholm, at its northern end in Scotland, southwards to his home village of Marsden and onwards into the Peak District. He starts out in troubadour style with no money, intending to live by his poetry alone, but having publicised his intentions and solicited offers of accommodation. These were efficiently organised by his friend and fellow poet Caroline Hawkridge with "enthusiasm, optimism, and managerial panache". Along the way, he stays with strangers each night, who provide food and accommodation, and at each stopping-point he gives a poetry reading, which is free to enter but with a closing collection to pay his expenses.
Poetry
The "Horton-in-Ribblesdale to Malham" and the "Ickornshaw to Hebden Bridge" chapters each end with one of Armitage's poems about the places named. The poem "I feel I am at the end of my tether", about watching climbers on the Malham limestone, was originally published in his 1993 A Book of Matches. The poem "Above Ickornshaw, black huts" was later published in Armitage's 2019 Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic, with three other poems in that book's chapter "Walking Home".
Structure and illustrations
Apart from the opening chapters, each chapter describes a section of the route, and has as its title the name of the section, such as "Uswayford to Byrness"; this is followed by the distance walked in miles, the Ordnance Survey map used, and the date. Each chapter is illustrated with a small number of whole-page photographs by Armitage, printed in monochrome, showing details of buildings, interiors, landscapes, or aspects of the walk.
Reception
The poet Adam Thorpe, reviewing the book in The Guardian, notes that poets from the "indefatigable" William Wordsworth have walked productively, and that walkers have written entertaining tales of their hikes since Karl Philipp Moritz's "wonderfully entertaining" Travels in England, describing his walk from London to Derbyshire in 1782. Thorpe comments that all the elements of the genre were in that book, and all remain present in Armitage's humorous account, including elation/exhaustion, blisters, rain, bulls, views, the kindness of strangers, and getting lost. Thorpe comments that "When Slug, a chaotic university friend, unexpectedly turns up and cadges free board and lodging, Armitage's inner groans are barely perceptible; he leaves them for us to tune into, which makes Slug's presence even more delightful."
Jane Shilling, reviewing the book in The Daily Telegraph, describes Armitage as a latter-day Odysseus on his wandering journey through many obstacles and strange meetings. She finds that Armitage has the rare gift of being able to make her laugh out loud, but comments that "it is in its moments of doubt, anxiety, cowardice and black misery that his book is at its most touchingly human."
Country Life finds the book "as likeable as the poet himself, funny, curious and tenderly observed."
Emma Townshend, in The Independent, writes that the British "love a man on a slightly eccentric mid-life journey", and that Armitage's idea of turning "properly troubadour" by attempting the Pennine Way without taking any money with him fitted into the "classic unnecessary journey genre", containing for instance Dave Gorman trying to meet all the other Dave Gormans, and Michael Palin's much-loved wanderings. Townshend enjoyed his descriptions of the "British B&B dressing table is here in all its glory, with mini-kettle, individually wrapped shortbread biscuits and laminated sign", along with the huge Northumberland skies and clagging mud. She notes that he survives "weird dropping fogs, misdirections, bizarre sleeping accommodations, savage dogs and angry farmers", even if the reader does not quite feel he was alone, given how many people were cheering him along.
In The Sunday Times, the novelist Christopher Hart calls Armitage "an agreeably droll travel writer". Hart comments that Armitage is "modest about slipping his own poems into the text, but when he does they're an additional treat."
Suzi Feay, writing in the Financial Times, remarks that Armitage is surprisingly relaxed with his use of words and clichés, as she is sure he knows better. All the same, she writes, there are "flashes of imagery to cherish", such as when a path "fragments into half a dozen vague and wispy sheep trails, like the frayed end of a rope".

Prince Louis Napoléon Achille Charles Murat (25 August 1872 – 14 June 1943), also known as Napoléon Akhilovich Murat (in Russian: Наполеон Ахилович Мюрат), was a French-Georgian military officer. A member of the House of Murat and direct descendant of Caroline Bonaparte, sister of Napoleon, he was first commissioned in the French Army but spent most of his military career in the Imperial Russian Army, rising to the rank of major general.
Personal life
Murat was born on 25 August 1872 in Brunoy, France, the second child of Charles Louis Napoléon Achille Murat of the House of Murat, and Salome Dadiani, Georgian princess of Mingrelia and member of the House of Dadiani. He was a great-grandson of Joachim Murat, King of Naples and 1st Prince Murat, and grandnephew of Napoleon. He moved to his mother's native Georgia around 1904. Having returned to France in the early 1920s following Georgia's annexation by the Soviet Union and installation of a Bolshevik regime in the country, he worked as a translator. He died in Nice on 14 June 1943. He never married.
Military career
Murat began his military career in the French Army in 1891, and attended the École de cavalerie, Saumur. He served with the 25th Dragoon Regiment during the French conquest of Madagascar, where it was mistakenly reported that he had died from malaria. He became a lieutenant in 1899 when he was with the 14th Hussars Regiment, and later joined the 9th Cuirassier Regiment. Laws passed in France in the early 1900s meant that, as a member of a former ruling house, his opportunities for progression within the French Army became limited and he resigned his commission.
Murat left France and joined the Imperial Russian Army, where he was commissioned as lieutenant with the 2nd Dagestan Cavalry Regiment. He saw action in the Russo-Japanese War, during which time he was shot in the head and neck; he was decorated for his bravery. Following the war, he served as captain and later lieutenant colonel in the Life Guard Horse Regiment before becoming a colonel instructor at the cavalry school in St Petersburg. During this time he gained a reputation as a duelist.
In 1912, Murat resigned from the Russian Army to command a force of volunteers and mercenaries under the flag of Bulgaria during the First Balkan War. After spending time in the Americas, he rejoined the Imperial Russian Army at the outbreak of World War I, commanding the Ingush Regiment of the Caucasian Native Cavalry Division, also known as the Savage or Wild Division. Fighting in the Carpathians, he suffered severe frostbite to his legs, that ultimately resulted in double amputation some years later. He also commanded the 12th Dragoon Regiment Starodubovskogo and served in the Ministry of War. He rose to the rank of major general. During the Russian Civil War he fought with the White Armies.
Among his many honours, he was awarded the Cross of St. George and was appointed to the Order of St. Vladimir, 3rd class with swords, the Order of St. Anna, and the Order of St. Stanislaus. In 1928, he was appointed a chevalier of Legion d'Honneur.

The Belfast Harp Society (1808-1813) and its successor, the Irish Harp Society (1819-1839), were philanthropic associations formed in the town of Belfast, Ireland, for the purpose of sustaining the music and tradition of itinerant Irish harpists, and secondarily, of promoting the study of the Irish language, history, and antiquities. For its patronage, the original society drew upon a diminishing circle of veterans of the patriotic and reform politics of the 1780s and '90s, among them several unrepentant United Irishmen. In a town, increasingly hostile in its sectarian division to Protestant interest in distinctive Irish culture, the society reconvened as the Irish Harp Society in 1819 only as a result of a large and belated subscription raised from expatriates in India. Once that source was exhausted, the new society ceased its activity.
Belfast Harp Society
Subscribers
Inaugurated at meeting held St. Patrick's Day, 1808, the Belfast Harp Society was an initiative of members of the Society for Promoting Knowlege (the Linen Hall Library). Rules were drawn up by the town physicians James MacDonnell, Samuel Bryson and Robert Tennent. Heading the list of 191 people who, "for the purpose of reviving and encouraging the Irish harp", pledged between one guinea and twenty guineas annually, was town's proprietor, the Marquess of Donegall. Yet among the subscribers in the largely Presbyterian town were many who, as United Irishmen, had challenged Donegall's Anglican establishment and his right to have the town represented in parliament by his personal nominees. The society counted on the support of Dr. William Drennan who had proposed the union of Catholic and Protestant to overturn the Anglican Ascendancy; Francis, John, and Mary Ann, McCracken, brothers and sister to Henry Joy McCracken who had been hanged in the High Street as a rebel in "'98"; Robert Tennent's brother William, a former state prisoner; and Thomas McCabe, whose son William Putnam McCabe was forced into French exile after seeking with Robert Emmet to renew the republican insurrection in 1803.
The creation of the society harkened back to Belfast's first Harp Festival in July 1792 This had been staged for the benefit of the Belfast Charitable Society but coincided with the town's Bastille Day celebrations. These had been complete with parades by local Volunteer corps, and resolutions, carried by the new-formed United Irishmen, in favour of Catholic Emancipation and Parliamentary Reform.
Music and language
Supported by his adoptive family, McCrackens, the 1792 Festival had been organised by the musician and collector Edward (Atty) Bunting. He was now appointed the Society's musical director, with Mary Ann McCracken acting informally as his secretary. Bunting's master tutor was the most celebrated of the 1792 performers, Arthur O'Neill, now 75. O'Neill was to instruct poor children from the age of ten, blind like himself, with a view both to perserving his musical legacy and, as harpists, to save his charges from a life of destitution.
In July 1809, the Society extended its programme to include classes in the Irish language. Provided by James Cody, these were particulary welcome by Mary Ann McCracken (who is known to have studied from Charles Vallency's Irish grammar), and by her Gaeilgeoir friends, and fellow subscribers, the poetess Mary Balfour and the brothers Samuel and Andrew Bryson. Dr MacDonnell, Robert James Tennent (the son of Robert Tennent), and the engineer Alexander Mitchell contributed to an additional subscription to support Cody's efforts.
In December of that year, O'Neill was led by his twelve blind pupils into dinner marking publication of the second volume of Bunting's Ancient Music of Ireland. Met "with most entusiastic applause", their musical performances were celebrated as a triumph. From this highpoint, the affairs of the Society did not run smoothly
Demise
In February 1810, O'Neill laid charges against his only female pupil, a Miss Reilly, of having "an improper connection" with another student. While she was cleared on investigation, the scandal was followed up by the dismissal of two of O'Neill's class as being "incapable by nature of learning the harp". Subscribers began to withdraw their support. A season of six fund-raising balls held under the patronage of the Marchioness of Donegall failed to make up the loss. In 1813, the school closed.
The difficulties of the Society were compounded by the arrest in August 1813 of its treasurer, Robert Tennent. Pushing forward at a town meeting to protest two killings by a relatively new element in the life of the town, parading Orangemen, Tennent was accused assaulting Lord Donegall's brother-in-law and Anglican vicar of Belfast, Edward May. He was sentenced to three months.
Legacy
The Irish antiquary, George Petrie, argued that the Society had been flawed in conception:The effort of the people of the North to perpetuate the existence of the harp in Ireland by trying to give a harper’s skill to a number of poor blind boys was at once a benevolent and a patriotic one; but it was a delusion. The harp at the time was virtually dead, and such effort could give it for a while only a sort of galvanised vitality. The selection of blind boys, without any greater regard for their musical capacities than the possession of the organ of hearing, for a calling which doomed them to a wandering life, depending for existence mainly if not wholly on the sympathies of the poorer classes, and necessarily conducive to intemperate habits, was not a well-considered benevolence, and should never have had any fair hope of success.In 1818, it was reported that “several blind minstrels educated in the seminary at Belfast" were "wandering through different parts of the country", and, by "affording a pleasing and harmless amusement to the people who hear them", were able to support themselves.
The Dublin society
The Belfast Harp Society predated, and was briefly to survive the Harp Society in Dublin. John Bernard Trotter (who had been the secretary of the radical Whig, Charles James Fox) brought to the Irish capital a man who vied with Arthur O'Neill for consideration as "the last of the ancient race of harpers", Patrick Quinn, a blind harper from Portadown. Inaugurated in July 1809, society counted among its benefactors, Sir Walter Scott and Thomas Moore. Within two months it had mounted a grand "Carolan Commemeration" in the city, but then faded along with Trotter's personal finances. He went bankrupt in 1812.
Irish Harp Society
The Bengal Subscription
Arthur O'Neill retired to County Tyrone on a £30 pension volunteered by James MacDonnell and his brother Alexander, both of whom had themselves been instructed on the harp by O'Neill in their youth.To the consternation of those who had come to regard the blind harper as a national treasure, the Society itself had made no provision for his final years. An account of O'Neill's plight was submitted to the Belfast Commerical Chronicle on 8 June 1814, and this eventually reached Irish expatriates in the then capital of British India, Calcutta. As a result, almost five years later former members of the board found themselves in receipt of subscription of more than £1,000 to revive their society and to assist O'Neill. As harpist was then three years dead, the funds were devoted to a renewed effort employing O'Neill's former pupils.
The new Irish Harp Society procured a small number of harps and again selected pupils, "without reference to religious distinctions", from among "the blind and the helpless". In 1823, the new master was Valentine Rennie of Cushendall. He had been committed to O'Neill as pupil by James MacDonnell, and had performed for King George IV on the occasion of his visit to Ireland in 1821.
The News Letter, 15 April 1828, published a glowing tribute to the Society's academy, and of "the inimitable Rainey", that had appeared in the Calcutta newspaper The Bengal Hurkaru and ChronicleWe can confidently assure the friends and benevolent supporters of the patriotic and humane establishment, that the prosperity of the Institution has never for a moment been forgotten or unattended to. The contributors, by all accounts, have now the satisfaction of knowing, that they have effectually restored the ancient melodies, the nearly lost airs of the Emerald Isle, by the encouragement given by them to the long–neglected and forgotten Harper.The News Letter conceded that the Society's friends in Ireland, were not able "to contend" with the generosity with which its patrons in India responded to such reports. It noted that while the resident Whig grandee, the Marquis of Downshire, "with his usual characteristic patriotism, in the encouragement of every thing useful and liberal" made an annual subscription of £10, the list of subscribers in India was headed by the Governor General, the late Marquess of Hastings, at more than £31, and by a further eight of "our patriotic countrymen", each contributing more than £12.
Rennie, who "on liberal terms" had been invited to India died in 1837, and the impetus behing the "Bengal subscription" appears to have been spent. In 1839, the Society closed its academy in Cromac Street.
Decline in local interest
John McAdam, the Society's secretary (and fluent Irish speaker), noted there was not sufficient local interest to sustain its activity. In the wake of the Act of Union and subsequent removal of many landowning families to England, the gentry in Ireland were "too scarce, and too little national, to encourage itinerant harpers, as of old."
McAdam was also to suggest that, "like all other fashions," "the taste and fashion of music ... must give way to novelty.". From 1809 Irish harps were purchased by many titled women in Ireland. But after the year 1835, the "'fad' went out". Charles Egan's workshop in Dublin, the main supplier, went out of business. Irish harp was ousted in both country houses, and popular meeting places, by the pianoforte and violin.
Other current may currents may also running against interest in the harp and its symbolism. Robert Tennent's son, Robert James Tennent, a subscriber to the Irish Harp Society, took up the first opportunity provided by Reform Act of 1832 to challenge the nominees of Lord Donegall in a parliamentary election. Failing to commit himself on an issue that increasingly was to associate interest in Irish culture with Catholic-majority separatism, repeal of the Act of Union, he lost by a wide margin.
In 1856, The Illustrated London News, reported that the "ancient national music of Ireland is kept alive by a few practitioners of a very humble kind, who wander about in their own country chiefly playing to parties assemble in taverns". The only "gentleman harper" remaining was Partick Byrne, of Farney, County Monaghan, who some years previously had had the honour of performing before the Queen Victoria at Balmoral. Byrne had graduated from the Irish Harp School in Belfast in 1821.

William Castle (22 December 1836 — 31 March 1909) was an English tenor who was active mainly in the United States during the mid to late 19th century. He appeared in several English language operettas and operas on Broadway during the 1860s, and later returned to Broadway in 1886 to star as Sándor Barinkay in the United States premiere of Johann Strauss II's The Gypsy Baron. Historian Kurt Gänzl described Castle as the "most popular operatic tenor of the Victorian era on the English-language stages of America".
Life and career
William James Castle was born in St Mary-le-More, Wallingford, Oxfordshire. He studied singing with Pedro Abella who was married to contralto Elena D'Angri, and began his performance career in 1859. He performed in Christy's Minstrels in England before becoming a leading tenor on American stages in New York, Boston, and Washington D.C. He made his Broadway debut as Don Cæsar de Bazan in William Vincent Wallace's Maritana at the Olympic Theatre, New York in 1864. Also at that theater in 1864, he portrayed Manuel in the United States premiere of Michael William Balfe's The Rose of Castille. He appeared in several more Broadway productions during his career, including portrayals of the Lorenzo in Fra Diavolo (1864 and 1867), Thaddeus in The Bohemian Girl (1864 and 1867), and Captain Maurice in The Desert Flower (1868). After a long absence, he returned to Broadway in 1886 to star as Sándor Barinkay in the United States premiere of Johann Strauss II's The Gypsy Baron at the Casino Theatre.
While he primarily achieved acclaim in his performances in English, Castle also performed in Italian language operas at the Academy of Music (New York City) and on tour in the United States with Jacob Grau's opera company in the 1860s. He toured the United States performing in English with numerous opera companies in 1860s through the 1880s, including Euphrosyne Parepa-Rosa's Carl Rosa Opera Company and companies operated by Emma Abbott, C. D. Hess, Gustav Hinrichs, Clara Louise Kellogg, and Caroline Richings.
After retiring from opera, Castle continued to perform on the stage as an actor in plays by William Shakespeare into his later years; often portraying characters requiring musical performance. He achieved. particular success as Amiens in As You Like It.
Castle died in Chicago at 442 West Adams on 31 March 1909.

Waverley Cars Limited of Willesden, London were a manufacturer of motor cars from 1910 to c1930.
Company History
The company started out as Light Cars Limited in Willesden, North London in 1910. Their first model, named the Waverley, was exhibited on the stand of T.B.Andre Ltd on their stand at the 1910 Motor Show. They also exhibited on T.B.Andre's stand in 1911, but had their own stand at ther 1912 show. Light Cars Ltd had showrooms at 119 Great Portland Street, London.
Production recommenced in 1919 by which time the company had changed its name to Waverley Cars Ltd. They last exhibited at Olympia in 1927, and production probably ceased in 1928.
Pre WW1 Models
The Waverley name was used from the outset, and the car described as a distinctive 4-cylinder car of British design with unique suspension. These early cars used Chapuis-Dornier engines. At the 1912 Olympia show they listed two models, the 10 hp and the 12 hp, although both models at the show were the 12 hp, this having an engine with a bore of 75mm and stroke of 120mm, with inlet over exhaust layout. The unusual rear suspension was a feature of the car, and comprised two quarter-elliptic springs on either side spaced about 4 inches apart.
At the 1913 Olympia show there were 3 models, the 10 hp with four cylinder motor of 65mm bore and 130mm stroke, the 12 hp with 75mm bore and 120mm stroke, and a new high power option with an engine of 69.5mm bore and 120mm stroke. Also added to their range was a 'Colonial type' fitted with 32in Sankey wheels, and two light delivery vans of 10cwt and 14cwt load capacity.
Post WW1 Models
After the war Waverley Cars reappeared in 1919 fitted with Smith's starting and lighting system, and they changed their power unit to a Coventry-Simplex engine. In 1923 they announced that for 1924 they would offer a 1500cc Burt-McCollum sleeve-valve engine as an alternative to the 1500cc Coventry-Simplex engine, they also offered either 2-wheel or 4-wheel brakes. At the 1924 show another new engine was revealed, the new 6-cylinder Coventry Climax engine of 1990cc. These 16/50 models largely with bodywork by the Carlton Carriage Company were to be the mainstay of production, though the company did try the sleeve-valve engine again in 1926, and also tried a car with a rear mounted flat-four engine.
In 1926 Waverley Cars attracted a lot of publicity as one of a few car manufacturers stating they would bring a car to the market for just £100. At the 1926 Olympia show they revealed their £100 car, a 7 hp car with an opposed twin cylinder water cooled engine and a four-seater body. The other manufacturers' cars at the show hitting the £100 target were the 8 hp Gillet, and the 10 hp Seaton-Petter, while outside the show a 7 hp Lafitte car was on show giving demonstrations, this also priced at £100. Unfortunately the thousands of orders received did not result in thousands of satisfied customers either from Gillet or Waverley - in the case of Waverley they had relied on a third-party manufacturer in part and the fixed price contract fell through, and in addition the required works expansion fell through. They stated that they would not show the £100 car at the 1927 Olympia Show unless it was in full production. In the end it was not an economic proposition.

William Renwick ( – October 1814) was an English naval surgeon and author.
Life
William Renwick, born about 1740, a native of Berwick-on-Tweed, was in August 1760, being then (according to his own statement) nineteen, appointed surgeon's mate of a regiment at Plymouth, through the interest of General John Crawfurd. In that capacity he was abroad on active service, apparently at the reduction of Belleisle (7 June 1761); and after a two years' absence was invalided, having temporarily lost his eyesight. In June 1763, consequent on the peace, he was reduced, and seems to have unsuccessfully endeavoured to form a medical practice in Berwick. In the by-election of January 1765 he was of some use to Sir John Hussey Delaval, who promised him his interest; on the strength of which, and with no more tangible means of subsistence, he married, in June 1765, Abigail, daughter of Arthur Hindmarsh of Berwick. Poverty pursued him, and for seven years (1766–1773) he left his wife, endeavouring to gain a livelihood as "journeyman apothecary" in London, Wokingham, and elsewhere. When he rejoined his wife about 1774 his endeavour to establish a practice in Berwick met with small success; and in despair he published Misplaced Confidence, or Friendship Betrayed (3 vols. 12mo, 1777), in which he openly related the story of his sufferings, and attacked his former patron, Delaval.
In October 1778, through the interest of the Earl of Lisburne, a Lord of the Admiralty, to whom he had been recommended, he was appointed surgeon of the Countess of Scarborough, which, on 23 September 1779, was captured off Flamborough Head by the squadron under John Paul Jones and taken to the Texel. He wrote a magniloquent description of the engagement in heroic verse. On being exchanged Renwick was appointed to the Marlborough, and, when she was ordered to the West Indies, to the Egmont, in which he was present at the relief of Gibraltar, and in the rencounter off Cape Spartel in October 1782. In February 1784 he was surgeon of the Thorn sloop, and afterwards of the Merlin on the Newfoundland Station, and of the Druid in the Channel and at Lisbon. In 1787 he was put on half-pay, and in 1788 published The Solicitudes of Absence (London, 1788, 12mo), mainly composed of correspondence from and to friends at home. From 1795 to December 1800 he was surgeon of the Vulture; and of the Portland till February 1802, when he was put on half-pay. On 20 June 1804 he was, to his disgust, superannuated "for various infirmities", on three shillings a day.
He retired to Berwick, where he led a solitary and eccentric existence, until his death in October 1814, at the age of seventy-six; he was buried on 25 October.
Works
Besides several pamphlets on the state of the medical service of the navy, and the two works already mentioned, he wrote The Sorrows of Love, with other Poems (Alnwick, 1810, 12mo); The Unfortunate Lovers, or the genuine Distress of Damon and Celia (London, 1771, 2 vols. 12mo), and probably Damon and Delia, a Tale (London, 1784, 12mo). They are all largely autobiographical.
