1,000 are detained in Moscow to prevent ethnic violence
Action follows weekend rioting outside Kremlin
MOSCOW — Fearing more clashes between racist hooligans and ethnic minorities, Russian police detained 1,000 people in a standoff near a Moscow train station yesterday, taking a strong stance against far-right extremists after weekend rioting left dozens injured.
Hundreds of riot police outside the Kievsky station hauled mostly young men and teenagers shouting racist slogans into police vans. Some in the group were lined up against buses and searched by police.
Officers confiscated an arsenal of weapons, including knives and metal bars, police spokesman Viktor Biryukov said.
Resentment has been rising among Slavic Russians over the growing presence in Moscow and elsewhere of people from the southern Caucasus region, the home of numerous ethnic groups, most of them Muslim.
People from other parts of the former Soviet Union, including Central Asia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, also face ethnic discrimination and are frequently victims of hate crimes.
The train station is popular with street merchants from the Caucasus. The majority of those detained were Slavic Russians shouting racist slogans and calling for violence, although some ethnic minorities from the Caucasus were also taken into custody.
Police declined to say when those detained could be released or whether they face any charges.
Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said there were no injuries reported.
"Police will severely punish any provocations and violence,'' he said in televised remarks.
Authorities sought to prevent the kind of rioting that occurred outside the Kremlin Saturday, when mainly soccer fans chanted "Russia for Russians!'' during clashes that left dozens injured. Some soccer fans are linked with neo-Nazis and other radical racist groups that mushroomed in Russia after the 1991 Soviet collapse.
The violence over the weekend had raised new doubts about the government's ability to control the rising tide of xenophobia, which poses a serious threat to Russia's existence as a multiethnic state.
It also embarrassed the Kremlin just days after FIFA awarded the 2018 World Cup to Russia and raised questions about Russia's ability to safely hold international sporting events, including the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.

Ron Briley: Review of Larry Tye's "Superman: The High-Flying History of America's Most Enduring Hero (New York: Random House, 2012)Books
Ron Briley reviews books for the History News Network and is a history teacher and an assistant headmaster at Sandia Preparatory School, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Superheroes continue to dominate the lucrative summer movie box office. Record crowds thrilled to the assembling of Marvel Comic heroes to save the earth from destruction in The Avengers. While struggling to cast his web over Broadway, Spiderman captured film audiences with new stars in the title roles of the popular film series. The Dark Knight is also back in the final installment of director Christopher Nolan's and actor Christian Bale's Batman. Missing from the fray, however, is the superhero granddaddy of them all—Superman. Although The Man of Steel is scheduled to reappear on the big screen next summer, his last film Superman Returns (2006) failed to attain blockbuster status. While the WB network television series Smallville (2001-2011), focusing upon the teen years of Clark Kent discovering his super powers, was a hit among teens and gained a cult following, Superman has been largely absent in the popular culture of the twenty-first century with comic book sales dwindling. But in his history of Superman as a cultural icon, Larry Tye, a journalist who has written for the Boston Globe and published a fine biography of baseball legend Satchel Paige, asserts that Superman is America's most enduring hero and efforts to bury him are premature. It is difficult to argue with Tye's basic assumption that Superman continues to resonate with many Americans, but the popular culture landscape has changed considerably since Superman burst upon the scene in the 1930s. Superman must now share the stage with a plethora of superheroes, and the more absolutist assertions of good and evil in Superman, who never seems to exhibit the more human foibles which plague many Marvel Comic heroes, do not always seem to reflect the complexities of the modern world.
Perhaps the most fascinating part of Tye's book is the account of Superman's origins in the mind of writer Jerry Siegel and his artist friend Joe Shuster, who during the Great Depression were socially awkward young Jewish boys whose families struggled economically to make ends meet. Siegel did poorly with girls, sports, and academics, suffering a terrible family tragedy when his father collapsed and died from a heart attack during a robbery of the family tailor shop. Superman was the type of hero Jerry aspired to be and believed he was on the inside if people would only take the time to get to know him. In other words, Jerry Siegel was Clark Kent who was really Superman. Similar aspirations were held by Shuster, an artist with poor eye sight. Tye convincingly argues that Superman is a Jewish hero who shared the outsider status of his creators. And a hero was needed with the rising threat of Adolf Hitler's anti-Semitic regime in Nazi Germany. Thus, Tye observes that many comic creators in the 1930s were Jewish, but what set Superman apart were his universal qualities. Tye writes, "In the end, his appeal was universality along with his particularity, which ensured his stories would live on the way most parables do. Here was an exemplar, one of the few, who was embraced with equal ardor by Jews and gentiles, believers and agnostics, and everyone in search of a hero" (80).
This attraction, however, was not so obvious to many editors who passed on the Superman story submitted by Spiegel and Shuster. Their fate changed in 1938 when Harry Donenfeld and Jack Liebowitz, also Jewish, of Detective Comics agreed to publish Superman which became an immediate hit. The collaboration between the creators and publishers was a troubled one as for $130; Donenfeld and Liebowitz purchased the rights to Superman. Comparing the acquisition of Superman to the Dutch West India Company's 1626 purchase of Manhattan Island from Native Americans for twenty-four dollars, Tye asserts, ". . . Jack and Harry were buying not merely the thirteen pages of that first Superman comic, but the right to do what they would with the character. They could clip his power or his hair, bring him to life in new media or kill him outright, or do whatever else they wanted. Harry and Jack were the honchos now, the boys mere hirelings. Jerry and Joe's deal with the publishing house was for five years; Superman's was forever" (29). Tye, nevertheless, acknowledges that the publishers also played a crucial role in bringing Superman to the public, and the temperamental artists were not always easy collaborators with which to work. Accordingly, in 1951, a financial settlement was made between the publisher and Spiegel and Shuster which terminated their relationship with Detective Comics. With some additional compensation tacked on to the original package for the creators, this agreement was reaffirmed in 1975. With new copyright laws in place, the heirs of the Spiegel and Shuster estates are now in litigation with Warner Communication who possesses the rights to Superman. Tye expresses concern that in seeking to redress previous wrongs, the litigation could destroy the popular Superman franchise.
In addition to this fascinating story of Superman's origins, although earth bound rather than based on Krypton, Tye recounts the Superman saga as portrayed in comics, radio, television, animation, and the movies from the 1930s into the twenty-first century. Tye notes that in the original comics provided by Spiegel and Shuster, Superman was an activist New Deal hero who battled slum lords and fought for social justice, but publishers Donenfeld and Liebowitz toned down the violence and social crusading. In fact, during World War II in which Spiegel was drafted, Superman sat on the sidelines and did not directly participate in the war against fascism. The publishers feared that with his extraordinary powers, Superman could too easily defeat the Axis powers; undermining the sacrifices that mere mortals were making in the global struggle. In a similar vein, the Superman comics tended to avoid the Cold War, but the plots were heavily influenced by insecurities and fears arising from the atomic bomb and arms race.
Tye also devotes a fair amount of detail to the popular 1940s Superman radio show and 1950s television program. Of special note for the radio series was a sixteen-part story entitled "Clan of the Fiery Cross" in which Superman takes on the Ku Klux Klan. Although Superman resides in an almost exclusively white environment, the series was a powerful statement for toleration in post-World War II America. As television began to replace radio as the primary source for home entertainment, the franchise expanded to produce The Adventures of Superman (1952-1958) starring George Reeves as Superman/Clark Kent. The first season featured Superman taking on dangerous criminals in violent encounters. Demonstrating the extent to which the Superman franchise was always focused on the market place, the television series was toned down as sponsors such as the Kellogg's cereal company wanted the programs geared toward children. The villains became more bumbling and the plots more comical, while Reeves expressed discontent with being typecast. Although Tye concedes the possibility of murder in the death of Reeves, he concludes that depression and drinking likely contributed to suicide by television's Superman.
While Tye carries his saga of the Superman franchise into the twenty-first century, his narrative seems to lose some steam after the death of Reeves. Perhaps this is a factor of age for Tye, who, like this reviewer, grew up with the television series. Although Tye certainly explores the later personifications of Superman in film with Christopher Reeve and the television shows Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993-1997), these accounts seem more encyclopedic and lack the passion developed in the first three decades of Superman's career. Tye also notes that during the 1960s and 1970s, the Superman comic story line tended to avoid the topical issues of this turbulent era with the exception of a nod to the women's movement by making Lois Lane a bit more assertive and career minded. But essentially Superman remained a male and white universe. It is somewhat surprising that Tye is not more critical of Superman's racial composition due to the author's excellent work on race with his biography of Satchel Paige and history of railway porters and the making of the black middle class.
However, Tye's biography of Superman is fundamentally an uncritical account. The book is well written with an exhaustive bibliography, including detailed examination of sources brought to light in the litigation over control of the Superman franchise. Tye also provides an extensive list of interview subjects from the famous to the obscure. But there are few critiques of Superman. For example, Tye tends to dismiss the post-World War II crusade of psychologist Frederic Wertham against the comic book industry. Indeed, Wertham's reasoning was often reductive and censorship of any literature may be dangerous to a democratic society. Yet, Tye is rather quick to discount Wertham's suggestion that the concept of a superman, with its implications of vigilantism and might makes right, may be destructive to democracy. Tye assumes that Superman will always use his extraordinary powers on behalf of truth, justice, and the American way (to borrow the opening narration from The Adventures of Superman). However, should any one person or nation for that matter be entrusted with absolute power? Nor does Tye raise questions of cultural imperialism when he describes the global influence of Superman.
Tye is also somewhat dismissive of the challenge to Superman from the Marvel Comic superheroes such as Spiderman and The Hulk as well as Superman's DC Comics comrade Batman. To support his case for Superman's continuing relevancy, Tye points to the extraordinary sales of the 1993 "Death of Superman" comic issue. However, Superman was soon resurrected, and the death story proved to be somewhat of a gimmick. Tye is correct in his conclusion that Superman is alive and well in the twenty-first century, but he has competitors. The world seems to still crave superheroes, but there also appears to be an increasing popular awareness that there is a dark side and human cost to the superhero role.

Gowy Meadows - Andrew Walmsley
An extensive area of lowland grazing marsh covering a total area 165.8ha
Lying in the rumbling shadow of Stanlow refinery, Gowy Meadows is one of the Trust's newer reserves and is at the heart of our Living Landscape.
Covering over 400 acres (165ha) the Gowy is often where you'll see grazing animals working hard to create ideal conditions for wading birds such as lapwing and farmland songster the skylark. Almost 130 bird species have been recorded at Gowy Meadows, including great white egret, marsh harrier, rough legged buzzard and glossy ibis.
The reserve is particularly impressive for aquatic invertebrates including the lesser silver water beetle and is home to more than half of the dragonfly and butterfly species recorded across Cheshire, with banded demoiselles a delightful feature from late-May.
The reserve also hosts around 60 species of hoverflies and over 210 moth species.
Wheatear appear in the fields during spring migration and there's always the chance of a special spring visitor like a ring ouzel. Summer breeders may include reed and sedge warblers, with their scratchy calls rising from the ditches along with whitethroat in the hedgerows. When winter conditions are right, the wet meadows and ponds can play host to wigeon and our smallest duck, the teal. Gadwall are a becoming a regular sight on the ponds with jack snipe a welcome visitor along with green sandpipers and little egret.
Although seldom seen, our infra-red cameras have also recorded otters along the River Gowy, and field signs such as spraints are sometimes recorded by our staff on the reserve. Water voles are known to use the extensive ditch system on the reserve and latrines and feeding remains can be found dotted along the ditch banks and some of the more open pond edges.

Facts and Events
Charles the Fat (13 June 839 – 13 January 888), also known as Charles III, was the Carolingian Emperor from 881 to 888. The youngest son of Louis the German and Hemma, Charles was a great-grandson of Charlemagne and was the last Carolingian to rule over a united empire.
Over his lifetime, Charles became ruler of the various kingdoms of Charlemagne's former Empire. Granted lordship over Alamannia in 876 following the division of East Francia, he succeeded to the Italian throne upon the abdication of his older brother Carloman of Bavaria who had been incapacitated by a stroke. Crowned Emperor in 881 by Pope John VIII, his succession to the territories of his brother Louis the Younger (Saxony and Bavaria) the following year reunited East Francia. Upon the death of his cousin Carloman II in 884, he inherited all of West Francia, reuniting the entire Carolingian Empire.
The reunited Empire would not last. During a coup led by his nephew Arnulf of Carinthia in November 887, Charles was deposed in East Francia, Lotharingia, and Italy. Forced into quiet retirement, he died of natural causes in January 888, just a few weeks after his deposition. The Empire quickly fell apart after his death, never to be restored, with the Empire splintering into five separate successor kingdoms.
Usually considered lethargic and inept – he is known to have had repeated illnesses and is believed to have suffered from epilepsy – he twice purchased peace with Viking raiders, including at the famous siege of Paris in 886. Nevertheless, contemporary opinion of him was not nearly so negative as modern historiographical opinion.

Elhadji Tacko Fall has certainly been a prospect discussed often, mostly due to his height - all 7-feet, 5-inches of him.
Rivals.com first saw him play last fall and has watched him play a number of times since.
Fall, a native of Dakar, the capital of Senegal, moved to Houston in October 2012 and now attends Tavares (Fla.) Liberty Christian Prep. After returning from the NBPA Top 100 camp in Charlottesville, Va., Inside the Gators spoke with Fall to find out more about him and his recruiting process.
"The transition to living in America wasn't that bad. I had to adapt to the language, the food, new people, almost everything," Fall said. "I think I've improved a lot since I've arrived, even more than I thought I would. My strength, my confidence and I'm playing better too.
In the classroom, Fall told us the adjustment wasn't as difficult as you might think.
"School is easier here than in my country," said Fall. "I haven't had a lot of problems with academics. I like math, chemistry and biology."
The on-court improvement by the rising senior has been impressive. As recently as February 6th we watched Liberty Christian Prep and Fall seemed to run in slow motion and didn't rebound at the volume you expect from a 7-foot-5 player. The next time we saw Fall with his Each One Teach One (E1T1) AAU team in early April, his footwork was improved, his motor and rebounding was better and he was playing with much more confidence. Something he credits to his AAU program.
"It has been a big adjustment," Fall said of playing AAU ball. "It has helped me with my development a lot. Better competition and better coaching. We won a couple of tournaments and we qualified for the Peach Jam."
E1T1 Elite head coach Steve Reece broke down Fall.
"Tacko Fall has the desire and work ethic to be great," Reece said. "He's a kid that comes to practice ready to learn and improve each time. He's always the first one there and the last one to leave. He's a great kid to be around too."
For the past several months, Fall has worked out at a nearby boxing gym. Something he credits his improved footwork and increased core strength to. His overall improvement earned Fall an invitation to the NBPA Top 100 Camp, where he played well enough to be named to the All Camp team.
"That (camp) was great," Fall said. "Last year I looked at highlights of players who went last year and I was wondering if I would make it this year, and I made it. That was a great feeling. I think I did great. I actually surprised myself."
His biggest takeaway from the camp?
"The classes. They were teaching us a lot of lessons of life at the camp.
Recently Fall attended Florida's Elite Camp during which time he had an opportunity to get to know the Gators coaching staff.
"We talked a little with the coaches," Fall said. "They were just saying that they were really surprised that I did good during the camp and they gave me some advice on some things I need to work on. They have been talking to me and to Mandy (his host mom) too.
Currently holding offers from UTEP, LaSalle, Xavier, Tennessee and Georgia Tech; Fall told us that he has started to think about taking visits.
"I haven't decided which ones yet, but I was thinking about visiting a couple of schools in July or August," he said.
As more coaches see him during the July "live" periods, we expect Fall's offer list to get longer due to his considerable upside. He runs well, has good hands, will pound the boards, block and alter shots, and at 7-foot-5, 280 pounds Fall has a powerful body.
So, as we get closer to prospects making their official visits, it will be interesting to see how Fall's recruitment plays out.

This study reports a possible first systematic approach to the selective excitations of all Mathieu-Gauss modes (MGMs) in end-pumped solid-state lasers with a new kind of axicon-based stable laser resonator. The study classifies MGMs into two categories, and explores and verifies the approach to excite each MGM category using numerical simulations. Controlling both the "cavity mode gain" and the "cavity conical asymmetry" of the axicon-based stable laser resonator achieves the proposed selective MGM-excitation approach.

5 Steps To Handling Objections Successfully
It is safe to say that no matter how well prepared we are, when we go through the process of inviting prospects to look at our network marketing business we will have to deal with questions and objections. There are just common questions and objections that are pretty much always going to come up. Every once in a while, you'll get one that comes out of left field that you've never heard of. Those are okay because if you fully know how to handle objections, then it doesn't matter what comes your way – you'll be able to handle it professionally. You might not be able to give the prospect the correct answer right away. In this situation you can say, "I'll get that answer for you."
When presented with an objection, the clearer you are as to what the objection is and why it has been made the more likely you will be able to handle it.
1. Listen Completely Through the Question or Objection
You want to listen completely through the question or objection. This makes sense because you don't want to be handling the wrong objection. The other reason that you do this is you want to really let that prospect know that you are listening to them and that what they are saying is important. A lot of the time if they see that you are fully listening to them they are more than ready to listen to you when they're finished.
2. Confirm the Understanding
Next, repeat back what you think they said and meant. This is to insure you confirm your understanding of the objection. That way, you and the business prospect you are talking with have the same picture in your minds. If any part has been missed or misunderstood, this is the time to seek clarification until both of you agree.
3. Validate the Question or Objection
Make the question or objection valid with the same or slightly less intensity – but of course don't agree with the objection. When you agree with an objection, you're basically giving it more strength, giving it more weight. This may well make it far more difficult for you to handle, and I am sure that's not what you want to do.
4. Handle It!
For example, the prospect's objection might be, "well you know what, I need to talk to my wife about this," or "I need to have my spouse come here," or something similar to that. So if that's the situation, then you handle it right then and there. It also could be that you're going to facilitate handling it. In other words, you're going to be like a team-mate to this prospect and get creative at getting them creative, so they end up handling their own objection.
When you can get creative at helping them get creative, they solve their own problems. The reason being is because if you say something, it can be tested or challenged. But if they say it – it must be true. So, the brilliant people are really the ones that are able to facilitate handling the question or objection.
5. Conclude and Return
This is most important part. When you complete or conclude handling the question or objection, return exactly to the point where you were when the objection was raised. For example, if you were building a clear picture of the prospect's needs and wants and you felt that you needed to find out more before you could invite them to look at your network marketing business, it is imperative that you return to that point in your interaction with the prospect.

"Seek and ye shall find." Said the wise man…
My first concern was the size of the unit and where it would fit. I could envision it on a larger vehicle like a truck, or a rail, but how about a smaller side by side vehicle like a Yamaha Rhino? Well, after contacting Golight for the dimensions of their Stryker model light I had a good idea just where to mount this fixture. Fortunately, I've learned to let my present good equipment mounting ideas make way for future better ideas.
Upon receiving the Golight Stryker unit (model 3049), I opened the box and laid out the contents. Included was the fixture, a rock guard cover, a wireless dash mount remote, a wireless hand-held remote, batteries for both remotes, a stainless steel mounting plate (under the light), mounting screws, a bushing, and a complete instruction guide. The gloss black housing of the fixture and guard are constructed of the highest quality UV ray resistant high impact material on the market. The remotes themselves are covered in a rugged but flexible waterproof material that is easy to grip and handle
Now that I physically have the fixture I can better determine where to mount it based on aesthetics, and usability. The footprint of the fixture is roughly 6 inches square, and there is a rubber gasket around the bottom of the base for sealing purposes, so the unit must mount on a flat, fairly smooth area. Since the frontal area of the vehicle roof contained neither of those factors, I decided to build a mounting plate. Note: don't plan on mounting these fixtures upside down; it will void the 5 year warranty.
Now, back to the wiring…According to the instruction manual the light needs to be on its own 15amp fused circuit. I purchased a fuse holder, fuses, and a 30amp rated automotive relay at an auto parts store for under $10. The next step was to locate an ignition power source to power the coil on the relay, and then connect the 15amp fused load through contacts of the relay to the Golight Stryker.
Once everything was reassembled and tightened, I installed the batteries in the remotes and installed the dash remote. I connected the two prong connector at the mounting plate on the roof to the connector under the light and moistened the edges of the rubber base gasket for a good seal. The light slipped on snug and secure. What a breeze…The mounting plate hooks in the front of the base as you slide the light back, then the rear drops down followed by the insertion of a stainless steel screw and that's it!
Wow! I've seen a lot of spotlights in my day, but not one that hold a candle to this. I can't wait to see how it will perform in the dunes…
daytime hours of riding the rock guard was in use to prevent any damage to the glass lens. The first part of the testing exposed the fixture to sand, extreme dust, water, gravel, sun, the vibration of off road riding, and whatever we could encounter during an off road excursion. Our next test began just before the sun set behind the hills. According to the literature from Golight, the Stryker models RF remotes allow for operation of up to 100 feet away. We started our test at 100 feet; we then progressed to 200 feet, and finally a point near 250 feet, all the time remaining within line of sight of the unit. At no time in this test (even while in motion) did we experience any interruptions between the remote and any of the fixtures functional abilities.
As darkness overtook the area I tested the Stryker while driving through rolling sand hills before settling into one of the sand bowls. I then turned off the vehicles lighting to rely solely on the Golight as my only source. With the beam pointed ahead of the vehicle at a downward angle, I was able to clearly scan the hill far ahead, while having the entire area from the dash of the Rhino forward about 20 feet in front of me brightly lit. As I continued to maneuver through the darkness I became more familiar with the operation of the controls. I no longer felt the need to position my vehicle in a direction of interest; at the mere push of a button everything became highly visible. Even in conditions where the terrain continually changed, I could easily locate a neutral position to best utilize the light for the riding conditions. I also found this light is great for lighting the area behind the vehicle, for those unplanned moments backing down the hill.
Located on the RF remotes is a button that controls the speed of the 12Volt high torque automotive grade rotating and the tilting motors. The slower speed seems to me a bit more user-friendly while the vehicle is in motion, while on the other hand, when the vehicle was motionless, the high speed function was preferred to get the light where it was needed quickly.
From my experience with this product, I feel that Golight has what it takes to provide the ultimate off road lighting solution for any vehicle making its way into the night. For access to the whole line of Golight products you can visit them at www.Golight.com.

rem 700 scope
whats a good scope for a remington 700 for shooting out to 600 yards? thats going to be the longest range im going to shpot at.
its in .308 btw
How much you are planning in spending is a good starting point. There is a really nice zeiss I can recommend, it runs around 1800$
i can tell you not 1800. around 500 maybe?
There are some good Leupold's in that price range and I have always heard good things about them and their warrantee. Another brand with amazing warrantee to check out is Konus / Konus pro.
Good luck.
I snagged my trijicon 2.5-10 for around 700. Awesome scope. Super clear and it's warranty is good for .50.
Leupold vx-2 3-9x40 with a simple ballistic reticle $330. 50 mm is $409.
past 300-400 yards you will probably need to step up in price a bit. rule of thumb is, you can't hit what you can't see.
check out the Leupold, higher end Nikons, Vortex, Bushnell, Sightron, ect.,,,
You might want to consider a Weaver Grand Slam scope. Nice scope, very decent optics thats made in Japan by one of leading Asian scope makers. Depending on power range you want, you can buy a 4.5-14x40 A.O. to a 6-20x40 A.O. between $300 and $380 at www.natchezss.com
Want a lesser cost scope, then think about a BSA Gold Star 3-18x44 or 4-24x50. Both have side focus A.O.s. Have had one each of these scopes on centerfire rifles, one a .308, for well over a year now and after quite a few rounds downrange with them, wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. Nice optics in them and ajustments for windage and etc are OK. Last time I checked around Grafs and Sons had lowest prices I could find on them.
SS 10X42M is what is mounted on my rem 700 5r in.308 it was 399.99 i believe and its great i believe its super sniper scopes

He was also the Headmaster of Dilworth Ulster Institute in Epsom, Auckland from 1909-1914.Colonel Plugge has the distinction of being the first name on the Auckland Roll with the Regimental Number 12/1. In the Auckland district there were four infantry regiments: 3rd Auckland, 6th Hauraki, 15th North Auckland, and 16th Waikato. Each of the Regiments provided a Company and also certain specialists to form the Battalion for service overseas. The four companies of the Battalion thus formed retained the names and badges of the Territorial Regiments from which they were drawn. The organisation and commands were as follows: Commanding Officer - Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Plugge, Second in Command - Major Harrowett, Adjutant - Captain Alderman.The Battalion left New Zealand on 22 September 1914 but had to return because of the German Pacific Fleet in the area. On 11 October they sailed for Wellington to join the Expeditionary Force assembling there. At dawn on 16 October 1914 the transports departed for Hobart. From there they headed for Egypt and arrived at Alexandria on 3 December. The troops went to Zeitoun Camp. In April, on board the captured liner Lutzow they sailed for Gallipoli and the Auckland Battalion was the first New Zealand force to land on 25 April 1915. Colonel Plugge was struck by a flying fragment which lodged in his wrist. He was not badly wounded. The Battalion withdrew from Turkey on 20 December that year.Plugge's Plateau at Gallipoli was so named on the first day of fighting when Colonel Arthur Plugge 37 Commanding the Auckland Battalion, placed his headquarters there. To the Turks it became known as Hain Tepe or 'Treacherous Hill' because of the effect of the battery on them. (see Gallipoli a Battlefield Guide, p. 162)1st Auckland arrived in France on 16 April 1916At the Battle of the Somme in August 1916 Colonel Plugge was in command of the 1st New Zealand Infantry Brigade, the veterans of Anzac, who smashed the last line of the German defence. 1st Auckland took over 750 yards of the line. Of the 1500 men who went into battle, 300 were killed and 700 wounded. In spite of these high casualties it was regarded as a great victory.In December 1916 Colonel Plugge CMC was detached for special work in physical and recreational training.There is a cemetery in Turkey named after Lt. Col. Plugge called Plugge's Plateau Cemetery. This area was the headquarters of Lt. Col. Plugge during the Anzac landing.The Auckland Museum Library's manuscripts collection contains a school assignment outlining the military career of Arthur Plugge, researched and compiled by Richard Campbell, of Dilworth School. [Ref. MS 2002/140]Plugge's Plateau was captured by the 3rd Australian Infantry Brigade on the 25th April, 1915, and named later for Colonel A. Plugge, C.M.G., Commanding Auckland Battalion, whose Headquarters were there. It became a battery position, a reservoir, and a position on the "Inner Line" of defences, and on its Western slopes were the Anzac Headquarters. There are now over 20 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. The Cemetery covers an area of 198 square metres. Anzac is the midmost of the three areas into which the fighting on Gallipoli and the cemeteries on the Peninsula are divided. Plugge's Plateau (pronounced "Pluggy's") was the name given to the hill, 100 metres above sea level, to which the cliff rises from Ari Burnu. Plugge's Plateau Cemetery is on the north-west corner of the Plateau.

Display item is a named photograph "From Auckland to the pryamids some of King's College old boys with the NZEF in Egypt", it was published in the Auckland Weekly News, 1 April 1915._____________________________Arthur Plugge – 1877-1934Arthur began his life in Yorkshire and after his education he immigrated to Australia on the "Port Elliott" as the 4th mate. He arrived in Sydney on 5th November 1900. By the end of the year he was in New Zealand. He taught at Kings College in Auckland then situated near Market Road in Epsom. He was 6'4" tall, weighed about 266 pounds (95kg) and had a booming voice. He was deputy head of the college when he was appointed in 1909 to be the headmaster of the "Dilworth Ulster Institute" now known as Dilworth School – just next door.He introduced swimming, drill, cricket and tennis to the curriculum as well as organising school camps. Regardless of his size and voice which often frightened the new boys, he was a fair and approachable man.In 1910 he married Millicent Helen Philson Aickin and they lived in the school house which was also partly classrooms.In 1911, when he wanted to buy a pony and trap for his personal use, he got permission from the board to keep his horse on the school grounds. The school already had sheep, cows and pigs on the property. That same year the board built the headmaster's house in Mt St John Avenue so the family could live away from the school. This also allowed the school to expand from the original 25 boys to 65.Arthur was a member of the Territorials and became the Colonel of the Auckland Regiment and in 1909 when the Grafton Bridge opened his men were used to "test" the bridge.By 1914 when the Board refused to allow further education for the 13 and 14 year old boys with potential, he resigned and enlisted with the number 12/1 as the first name on the list of the Auckland Infantry and departed in October for Egypt, leaving behind his wife and 3 young children.He did not come back to NZ until June 1918. He was made a CMG, receiving his award personally from the Governor General.On his return he took up a job as a rehab officer and went to farm on a property on Ten Foot Road near Taupiri. For a time he "camped" on the land while his wife and children lived at the hotel in town. According to visitors he never really came to terms with life on a farm.In 1925, their eldest son Arthur James Philson Plugge went to England aboard the "Turakina". He was 13 years and 8 months old. His destination was "Wal…. Mayfield Rise. He joined the British Navy in 1933 and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He was killed in February 1942 and is listed on the Memorial at Lee-on Solent.Arthur senior appeared to all around him a "broken man," and after hearing about the death of their second son John in England in an aircraft accident in 1934, he died in July the same year.Above biography was transcribed, researched and written by Margaret Nash of Panmure Branch of NZSG_____________________________ AWMM Read more Death About death Contribute › Age at death57 AWMM Date of death2 July 1934 AWMM Cause of death Place of deathTaupiri, Waikato, New Zealand AWMM Death notes Cemetery nameTaupiri Cemetery, Gordonton Road, Waikato, New Zealand AWMM Grave reference Memorial nameRoll of Honour, Freemasons, Te Awamutu Lodge No. 2221 E.C., Ellerslie Masonic Centre, 9A Robert Street, Ellerslie, Auckland AWMM Memorial reference Obituary Roll of Honour Remember Arthur Plugge by laying a poppy.

The Boys Next Door: This is a heart-warming, brilliantly acted look at the lives of four mentally challenged men. Arnold (Michael Collins) constantly spells out the injustices of life, threatening to move to Russia if his grievances go unacknowledged. A chubby and lovable Norman (Jason Scott Quinn) always has a doughnut hiding somewhere. Lucien (Brandon Morris) mumbles the alphabet. Barry (Jeffrey Bower) seems the most normal but is really schizophrenic. This odd assembly is watched over by Jack (Wayne LeGette), who narrates, revealing his own frustrations. Author Tom Griffin skillfully allows the audience to laugh while gaining respect for a diverse and often misunderstood group. -- Rachel Galvin Through February 6. Palm Beach Dramaworks, 322 Banyan Blvd., West PalmBeach; 561-625-6010.
Enchanted April: The tale begins in 1922 in dreary England, where a frumpy Lotty Wilton (Cary Anne Spear) finds herself dissatisfied with her tyrannical husband and her humdrum existence. Escape comes through an ad in the paper -- a castle in Italy for rent. Heart aflame with possibility, she ropes a reluctant friend, Rose (Laura Turnbull), into the vacation scheme. To help pay the bills, Lotty and Rose bring along two other ladies. The foursome makes a peculiar party, but the castle suits them, and the unfolding relationships are moving. Spear is priceless, turning from flighty victim to natural and exuberant leader of the group. Turnbull evolves from a repressed wife into a woman ready to accept love. -- Rachel Galvin Through February 13. Caldwell Theater, 7873 N. Federal Hwy., Boca Raton; 561-241-7432.

Paul Bunyan: The minor works of a genius are often more rewarding than the best that lesser mortals can bring. In the case of Paul Bunyan, the unclassifiable musical entertainment that had its South Florida premiere at Miami-Dade Auditorium and moves to the Broward Center through the end of the month, the rewards are actually double: this is the work of not one but two young gay geniuses, Benjamin Britten and W. H. Auden. It is by no means a perfect work, but its challenges are timely, its pleasures immense. -- Octavio Roca January 27 and 29 at Broward Center for the Performing Arts, 201 SW Fifth Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 800-741-1010.
Real Men: Charles Strouse takes a radical departure from his conventional hits in this plotless song cycle about middle-age men and their emotional struggles. The hit-and-miss music ranges from Broadway-style tunes to complex, radical harmonies. Jeffrey B. Moss's visually striking staging features a terrific cast of four but the show needs cutting and more conceptual framing. Still this intriguing world-premiere experiment pushes the boundaries of musical theater and is worth seeing. You can catch that revival of Strouse's Annie another time. -- Ronald Mangravite Through January 30. Coconut Grove Playhouse, 3500 Main Hwy., Miami; 305-442-4000.

Today, Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens, the Bronx), released the statement below following the announcement by the U.S. Supreme Court that it will review the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in the case of Edith Schlain Windsor v. United States of America, as well as a case challenging California's Proposition 8, an initiative that took away the right for same-sex partners to marry in California. In September, Crowley joined over 140 House members, led by fellow New York Congressman Jerrold Nadler, in filing an amicus brief in support of Ms. Windsor's challenge against DOMA.
"Both DOMA and Proposition 8 have been declared unconstitutional by courts, and now the Supreme Court will have the opportunity to do the same. Sexual orientation discrimination has absolutely no place in the laws and policies of this country, and I hope the Supreme Court will ultimately decide to make a ruling on these cases. Marriage equality is a fundamental right for all families and I will continue to fight to ensure that all Americans are afforded equal protection under the law."
