# Shad Thames

**Shad Thames** is a historic riverside street next to Tower Bridge in Bermondsey, London, England, and is also an informal name for the surrounding area. In the 19th century, the area included the largest warehouse complex in London.

## Location

The street Shad Thames has Tower Bridge at its west end and runs along the south side of the River Thames, set back behind a row of converted warehouses; it then takes a 90-degree turn south along St Saviour's Dock. The street is partly cobbled. The nearest stations are Tower Hill, Tower Gateway (both requiring a river crossing to access), Bermondsey and London Bridge.

## Name

The street Shad Thames is named as such in John Rocque's 1747 map of London. The name may be a corruption of 'St John-at-Thames', a reference to the St John's Church which once stood south-west of the street, where the present-day London City Mission is located Alternatively it may be from shad fish, which could be found in the Thames.

The surrounding area is also today called Shad Thames, or Butler's Wharf (after the largest of the riverside warehouses). Both names refer to a 350 m × 250 m (1,148 ft × 820 ft) rectangle of streets, converted warehouses and newer buildings, bounded by the Thames, Tower Bridge Road, Tooley Street and St Saviour's Dock (or arguably Mill Street); it forms the most north-easterly corner of the SE1 postcode district.

### Horselydown

The "Woodcut" map of London of c.1561 calls the general area "Horssey Down". The 1872 Ordnance Survey 1:2500 map calls it "St John Horselydown", meaning the parish of St John's Church in Horselydown, though this area extended somewhat further south and west than the modern-day Shad Thames. As it was originally a large field for grazing horses and cattle, it may be a corruption of 'Horse Down'.

## Industrial history

In Victorian times, Shad Thames included the largest warehouse complex in London. Completed in 1873, the warehouses housed huge quantities of tea, coffee, spices and other commodities, which were unloaded and loaded onto river boats. For this reason, the area became known as the 'larder of London'. An 1878 book says:

> Shad Thames, and, indeed, the whole river-side, contain extensive granaries and storehouses for the supply of the metropolis. Indeed, from Morgan's Lane—a turning about the middle of Tooley Street, on the north side, to St. Saviour's (once called Savory) Dock, the whole line of street—called in one part Pickle Herring Street, and in another Shad Thames—exhibits an uninterrupted series of wharves, warehouses, mills, and factories, on both sides of the narrow and crowded roadway.

During the 20th century, the area went into decline as congestion and containerization forced shipping to unload goods further east, and the last warehouses closed in 1972.

Many artists lived in the area in the 1970s (presumably owing to the low cost of living there); these reportedly included David Hockney and Derek Jarman.

Shad Thames was regenerated in the 1980s and 1990s, when the disused but picturesque warehouses throughout the area were converted into expensive flats, many with restaurants, bars, shops, etc. on the ground floor.

## Places of interest

As part of the regeneration of the area, designer and restaurateur Terence Conran opened a number of now well-known riverside restaurants, including Le Pont de la Tour, the Blueprint Cafe and the Butler's Wharf Chop House. The area also includes numerous cafes, bars, shops and estate agents.

Public access to the riverside was obtained by local community activists including Maggie Blake, after whom an alley leading from Shad Thames to the riverfront, Maggie Blake's Cause, is named.

Terence Conran was also involved in founding the Design Museum near the east end of Shad Thames, which housed exhibitions of graphic and product design; however, the museum relocated to Kensington in 2016 to a larger building formerly occupied by the Commonwealth Institute. The former Design Museum was largely empty as of April 2017 and was expected to be converted into luxury apartments.

The presence nearby of Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Potters Fields Park, More London (where various cultural events take place) and The Shard means that this once-overlooked area is now frequented by tourists.

## Residents and properties

Shad Thames has many residents, particularly living in converted warehouses, and development of new flats continues. They are represented by the Shad Thames Residents’ Association. The converted warehouses retain their original characteristic features of brickwork, winches, large sign-writing and so on, and most are named after the commodities which were originally stored in them – Vanilla & Sesame Court, Cayenne Court, Wheat Wharf, Tea Trade Wharf, with further buildings named after cinnamon, cardamom, fennel, caraway, ginger, cumin, tamarind, clove, anise and coriander. It is said that a century of spices had infused into the brickwork, so after they were converted into flats the first residents of each building could still detect the scent after which it was named. Various new buildings have been constructed, with similarly evocative names, such as Spice Quay Heights and China Wharf.

Shad Thames's proximity to the City of London, which is about a mile north-west on the other side of the river, means that many residents are wealthy City workers, and the restaurants are frequented by City folk at lunchtime. Consequently, local property prices are very high. Properties with river views are particularly expensive, having balconies and dramatic views of the Thames, Wapping (across the river), Tower Bridge, the "Gherkin", and even the distant Canary Wharf, though flats nearer the bridge also command a view of the grey concrete Guoman Hotel (formerly known as the Tower Hotel) on the north side of the river, considered by many to be an eyesore. Most of the warehouses retain the original relatively small windows, which limit their views; some of the newer buildings have better views—for example, flats on the east end of Spice Quay Heights have wide floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides. One of the student residences of the London School of Economics is located on Gainsford Street in the centre of the area.

Among the most striking features of Shad Thames are the walkways which criss-cross the street high overhead. Most of them now connect the Butlers Wharf building and the Cardamom Building and were originally used as bridges to roll barrels and the like between warehouses. They are now used as balconies by the adjoining flats. Photographs from the early 20th century show that at the peak of warehouse usage there were many more of these bridges than survive today.

## The river

There is a wide variety of river-going traffic next to Shad Thames. It is part of the particularly deep section of river called the Pool of London, which even ships can navigate. Hence, from time to time even full-size cruise ships or naval vessels will stop next to Shad Thames, usually for a day or so, often then proceeding through Tower Bridge (though they can go no further than the next crossing, London Bridge). Police boats and speedboats pass by frequently, as do passenger boats (such as the Damien Hirst-decorated 'Tate to Tate' boat), and yachts from St Katharine Docks on the north side of the river opposite Shad Thames.

## Cultural references

### Film and television

Owing to its buildings, cobbled streets, riverside views and proximity to landmarks such as Tower Bridge, Shad Thames has been used as a location for many films and TV programmes, including:

### Music

An instrumental track called "Shad Thames" appears on the 1997 Saint Etienne album *Continental* and 2001 compilation *Smash the System*.

# Casimir Park

The **Casimir Park** (Polish: *Park Kazimierzowski*) in an urban park in Warsaw, Poland. It is located in the district of Downtown, between the University of Warsaw, Visitationist Church, Karowa Street, Stanisław Markiewicz Viaduct, Browarna Street, and Dynasy Street.

## Name

The Casimir Park (Polish: *Park Kazimierzowski*) is named after the nearby Casimir Palace (Polish: *Pałac Kazimierzowski*), which in turn was named after king John II Casimir Vasa (Polish: *Jan II Kazimierz Waza*), who resided there in the 17th century.

## History

In the 17th century, king Władysław IV Vasa designed the area as the animal husbandry garden. Between 1636 and 1641, king John II Casimir Vasa built his residence there, the Casimir Palace, and developed the nearby lands as the recreational garden. It was one of the most prestigious garndens in Warsaw, and included various fountains, sculptures, altane, gazebos and grottos. It was severely destroyed in the 18th century, during the Swedish invasion on the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, known as the Deluge. It was rebuilt between 1728 and 1731.

In 1765 the area became the property of the Corps of Cadets, and remained undeveloped until 18th century. During this time the area was used for cattle grazing. In 1809 it became the botanical garden of the nearby Medical Academy, which in 1816 became the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Warsaw.

The Casimir Park in its current form was established in the 1960s. In 1984, it was given the status of the cultural property.

On 9 November 2000, in the park was unveiled the Monument to the Underground Education Teachers by sculptor Antonina Wysocka-Jonczak. It is dedicated to the teachers of the underground education during the German occupation of Poland, from 1939 to 1945, in the Second World War.

## Characteristics

The Casimir Park is located between the University of Warsaw, Visitationist Church, Karowa Street, Stanisław Markiewicz Viaduct, Browarna Street, and Dynasy Street. The park is partially located at the base of the Warsaw Escarpment, with the Casimir Palace placed at its top. The park has the total area of 4 ha.

In the park is place the Monument to the Underground Education Teachers by sculptor Antonina Wysocka-Jonczak. It is dedicated to the teachers of the underground education during the German occupation of Poland, from 1939 to 1945, in the Second World War.

There is also a pond, which is one of the last habitats of the European green toad in the city.

# The Sermon on the Sea of Galilee

**The Sermon on the Sea of Galilee** is a painting by the Flemish painter Jan Breughel the Elder. It was painted in 1597. Its current whereabouts are unknown.

## Story

The story is taken from the Gospel of Luke, where it is told that Jesus gave a sermon by the Sea of Galilee and performed various miracles. On the banks of the lake a large group of people had gathered around Jesus to hear the word of God. Jesus went on board the fishing boat of Peter (who was then called Simon) and spoke to the people from it. After the sermon he challenged Simon and his fellow fishermen to travel out to the lake, where the Miraculous Catch of Fish then took place.

Jesus is pictured right in the middle of the painting with an aurora and lit by the sun, standing on Simon's boat with a few other followers. On the banks are there a large number of figures that are also partially lit by the sun. Close to their right fish are loaded into reed baskets from rowing boats, possibly a reference to the miraculous catch. At the front left, two figures rest against a tree with a display of different fish and shellfish in front of them. In the background a city is representing that just like the crowd of people is partially lit by the sun.

The image is a combination of motifs from the earlier work of Brueghel. The overall composition derives from the 1595 *Coastal landscape with Jonah thrown overboard* which was last seen in public during an auction at Sotheby's in London op 5 December 2018. The motifs of the two resting figures at the front left, the figure at the front lying on his back and the rowing boats being unladen come from the 1596 *Harbour view with the departure of St Paul from Caesarea* in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh.

## Provenance

The work was first catalogued in the 2002 *Dutch and Flemish old master paintings* of art dealer Johnny Van Haeften. It was last seen in public in the 2006 version of TEFAF.

A related painting is in the Bavarian State Painting Collections in Munich.

title: THK-5

abstract: The THK-5 was a twin-engine aircraft designed by Stanisław Rogalski and built in Turkey in 1945 as an air ambulance. It was a conventional, low-wing cantilever monoplane of wooden construction throughout. The main units of the tailwheel undercarriage retracted into the wing-mounted engine nacelles and the THK-5 could carry two stretcher cases plus a medical attendant. This was followed in production by a six-seat utility transport version designated THK-5A and three examples of an improved version of the 5A designated THK-10. A single example of the type was exported, sold to Denmark. When THK was taken over by MKEK, this was one of the designs selected for further work. However, although the designation MKEK-5 was allocated, nothing further came of this.

title: Pnictogen bond

abstract: In chemistry, a pnictogen bond (PnB) is a non-covalent interaction, occurring where there is a net attractive force between an electrophilic region on a 'donor' pnictogen atom (Pn) in a molecule, and a nucleophilic region on an 'acceptor' atom, which may be in the same or another molecule. Closely related to halogen and chalcogen bonding, pnictogen bonds are a form of non-covalent interaction which can be considered in terms of charge-transfer and electrostatic interactions.

text:
# Pnictogen bond

In chemistry, a **pnictogen bond** (**PnB**) is a non-covalent interaction, occurring where there is a net attractive force between an electrophilic region on a 'donor' pnictogen atom (Pn) in a molecule, and a nucleophilic region on an 'acceptor' atom, which may be in the same or another molecule. Closely related to halogen and chalcogen bonding, pnictogen bonds are a form of non-covalent interaction which can be considered in terms of charge-transfer and electrostatic interactions.

## Physical origins

Pnictogen bonds typically demonstrate directionality, with the interaction forming either on a linear projection to the R–Pn bond (a σ-hole) or in a plane perpendicular to the three coplanar R–Pn bonds (a π-hole). In such cases, polarisation of the pnictogen atom by an electron-withdrawing substituent, results in an anisotropic electron distribution in the Pn atom affording a directional electropositive region, resulting in an attractive electrostatic interaction. As the polarisability of an atom increases upon descending the periodic table, pnictogen bond strengths typically increase upon descending pnictogen group, both as a result of increased poliarisation resulting in a greater electrostatic contribution to bonding, but also through increased dispersion interactions between the heavier PnB donor and the PnB acceptor atom.

Contributions to pnictogen bonding interactions can also arise through charge transfer interactions, in which a lone pair on the pnictogen bond acceptor are donated into a σ\*-orbital on the pnictogen atom. Despite the charge transfer interaction, pnictogen bond interactions are non-covalent interactions, with X···Y bond lengths shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii, but significantly longer than the sum of the covalent radii.

## Applications

The directionality of σ-hole interactions, including PnB interactions, has resulted in their exploitation within the field of supramolecular chemistry, incorporating PnB donor systems into a range of systems exploiting the formation of weak intermolecular interactions for a range of applications.

### Organocatalysis

PnB donors have been demonstrated to be capable of functioning as Lewis acidic catalysts. The first reported PnB catalysis cam in 2018 when PnB interactions were demonstrated to be potent catalysts for the Reissert reaction. Given their intermediate position in the main group of the periodic table, PnB catalysis may be appealing due to a balance between steric repulsion and polarisability factors.

### Anion recognition

As for halogen and chalocogen bonding interactions, the σ-hole interactions in PnB hosts have been exploited for anion binding and recognition, with a report in 2022 exploiting a series of triaryl antinomy and bismuth receptors for binding of halide anions. The reported systems demonstrated selectivity for chloride from other halies and over the binding of oxoanions, in contrast to trends observed for hydrogen bonding systems, suggesting PnB interactions may have advantages in selective halide anion sensing over hydrogen bonding systems.

### Transmembrane transport

PnB systems have also been shown to be capable of transmembrane anion transport, in which lipophilic organopnictogen compounds bind an anion through PnB interactions, enabling transport. The redox activity of main group systems enables the tuning of transport, in which 'on/off' switchable behaviour is enabled between an inactive carrier and an reduced carrier. Park and Gabbaï have demonstrated such a system, in which reduction of an adjacent sulfonium enables the transmembrane transport of anions by an antimony transporter.

# Casimir Zagourski

**Casimir Ostoja Zagourski** (in Polish **Kazimierz Zagórski**; 9 August 1883 – 10 January 1944) was a Polish pioneering photographer of Central African peoples and customs.

## Life

Zagourski was born in Zhytomyr in 1883. He was a Pole, from the noble Clan of Ostoja. He served in the Imperial Russian Air Force until 1917, rising to the rank of colonel, and in the Polish military during 1920.

He emigrated from Europe in 1924 and settled in Léopoldville (Belgian Congo), gallicizing his name and opening a photographic studio. Between 1924 and his death he travelled widely in Central Africa, undertaking expeditions to photograph "disappearing" native African traditions in 1929, 1932, 1935 and 1937.

His albums and a postcard series collectively entitled *L'Afrique qui disparaît!* gained him considerable renown.

He died in Léopoldville in 1944.

Tang How-yuen (Jackie Chan) is a disciple of kung fu master San-thye. San-thye wins a martial arts tournament, only to be killed by evil kung fu master, Master Li (Yen Shi-kwan). Tang tries unsuccessfully to fight Chung, and leaves the evil master unharmed. Tang, along with San-thye's wife and daughter head after the killer to seek revenge. When they find him, Chung has repented and has cut off his own leg as penance. The master's widow becomes ill, so Tang goes to work for a gang in order to get her medicine. However, whilst in their employ, he is blamed for the death of a young boy, and San-Thye's widow is poisoned. Tang and the one-legged master join forces to defeat the evil lord who poisoned San-thye's widow.

## Production

Like Chan's *Spiritual Kung Fu*, *Dragon Fist* was filmed in South Korea in early 1978 but was unable to be released or produced because the studio went bankrupt and was running out of money. As a result, both Lo Wei productions only had cost-cutting measures after Chan returned from his loan deal with Seasonal Films, where he made *Snake in the Eagle's Shadow* and *Drunken Master* alongside director Yuen Woo-ping. During the production, Chan reportedly had his nose broken repeatedly, joking "Do you think I was born with this nose?" Unlike most of Jackie Chan's early films, *Dragon Fist* had a more serious tone, with little in the way of comedic moments.

Like many other Hong Kong kung fu films, the film was scored with various musical cues from American films, mainly Jerry Goldsmith's 1966 score for *The Sand Pebbles*.

## Box office

The film was released in Hong Kong on 21 April 1979. The film grossed HK$1,004,000 at the Hong Kong box office in 1979. Overseas, the film sold 103,261 tickets in Seoul City (South Korea) and 142,785 tickets in France (where it was released in 1982), for a combined 246,046 tickets sold overseas in Seoul and France.

# Juan Carlos Argeñal

**Juan Carlos Argeñal Medina** was a Honduran journalist who was assassinated in December 2013 at age 43 in the town of Danlí, Honduras. He was the third TV journalist killed in that country in 2013.

## Early life and background

Argeñal was a native of the neighbourhood of Los Almendros in the Jamastrán Valley in the municipality of Danlí. The municipality is located in the state of El Paraiso in the southeastern part of Honduras. His mother, who survived him, is named Idalia Medina.

## Career

After Argeñal's death it was reported that his media career had begun more than 20 years earlier, when he had started working as a cameraman and correspondent for the news report Más Noticias on Channel 12, a closed-circuit TV station. His work for Más Noticias involved investigations and broadcasts about both local and national events.

### Radio y TV Globo

Argeñal was a local correspondent for both Radio Globo and Globo TV, part of the Globo media group. Globo had opposed the 2009 military coup that deposed President Manuel Zelaya, and after reporting critically on the aftermath of the coup, it was the target of multiple attacks and broadcasting disruptions. On 28 September 2009, Radio Globo was forced off the air after security forces raided its offices, and did not return to the air until 20 October. In 2010, Luis Galdámez Álvarez, a reporter for both Radio Globo and Globo TV, survived a murder attempt outside his home in Tegucigalpa. The two journalists murdered in Honduras in 2013 prior to Argeñal were both employees of the Globo media group. They were program director Anibal Barrow, who was kidnapped and killed on 24 June, and cameraman Manuel Murillo, who was murdered on 24 October.

### Vida TV

Argeñal was also owner of Vida Television, a local Christian television station that broadcasts on channel 27 and is transmitted via the Honduvisión network.

### Suprema

Argeñal also owned Suprema, a mobile disc jockey firm. As owner of this enterprise, Argeñal “took part in various social and religious activities.”

## Political activity

Argeñal was a prominent local supporter of the Liberty and Refoundation Party (Partido Libertad y Refundación LIBRE), generally known as *Libre*. His brother, Mario Argeñal, was coordinator of the organization that ran the unsuccessful presidential campaign for Libre's candidate, Xiomara Castro Zelaya, the wife of ousted President Zelaya, in November 2013.

## Memberships

Argeñal was a member of the group Hombres Cristianos de Negocios (Christian Businessmen).

## Death

On 7 December 2013, Argeñal was shot to death at his house in Danlí. The details of his murder varied from one report to another. His residence was variously described as being located in the Teodoro Rodas Valle suburb of Danlí and in the town's Los Maestros section. According to most accounts, Argeñal was shot inside his home, with authorities indicating that they believed he had been at home alone when the gunmen entered the house, although one account, by Reporters Without Borders, said he had been shot outside his home. Several accounts said that he had been killed at around 3 pm; one said that he was killed at about 6 pm; another said that the crime had “occurred between five and six in the afternoon” when Argeñal was preparing to leave for a party; yet another said that Argeñal's neighbours had heard gunshots “at the stroke of 2 pm.” Some sources, including Amnesty International, said there were two perpetrators, while others said there were three, with some reports adding that the three men had worn hoods. Some sources said that he had sustained two bullet wounds to the head, while others said that there were “two or more” bullet wounds.

One source said that he was 44 years old at the time of his death, but all other sources that gave his age listed it as 43.

Later on the day of his murder, Argeñal body was found in his home. According to one account, which was reportedly based on information provided by Argeñal's neighbors, his failure to show up for a 7 pm broadcast and to answer his phone led a colleague at Globo to go to his home. This colleague, who asked the media for anonymity, forced the door to Argeñal's home, found his bloody corpse, and alerted the police. The officers who replied to the summons were led by José Luis Flores Ordóñez, deputy chief of the local constabulary of the National Police. One report indicated that the news of Argeñal's death was communicated to the Globo program “El Noticiero Mi Nacion” by his friend Marco Antonio Moncada, also a resident of Danlí.

According to one source, the local coroner confirmed that Argeñal had died at about 7 pm as a result of two bullet wounds, one in the head and the other in the stomach. Flores said that burglary had been dismissed as a motive because nothing appeared to be missing from the scene of the crime.

Globo director David Romero Ellner told *Agence France-Presse* that Argeñal had been threatened previously “for revealing corruption at a local hospital in reports for Globo TV.” One source quoted Romero as saying that Argeñal had received “a series of death threats” because of these corruption reports. “While authorities believe his murder was commissioned and then carried out by hitmen,” reported the Argentina Independent, “it is not clear whether it was in retaliation for his revelation of corruption, his support of the Libre party, or both.”

On the same day as Argeñal's murder, Libre politician Graciela Lozano, a recent mayoral candidate in the municipality of Brus Laguna, was shot and killed. Authorities said that they were investigating possible political motivations, but that they believed Lozano's murder to be a case of armed robbery. The Honduran newspaper *La Prensa* reported that at least 37 media figures, including Argeñal, had been assassinated during the previous four years, and that none of these murders had been solved. According to Flores, these crimes were all “still under investigation.”

Rafael Bados Castellanos, president of the Danlí chapter of the Hondural Press Association (Asociación de Prensa Hondureña), said that whatever the motive of Argeñal's killers, “we are up in arms” over the crime.

### Response of international organizations

After Argeñal's death, Amnesty International stated that he had “reported about corruption in local government” and that in July 2013 he had told the Committee of Relatives of the Detained and Disappeared in Honduras (Comité de Familiares de Detenidos Desaparecidos en Honduras, COFADEH), a human-rights group, that “he had been intimidated because of his work.” He had told COFADEH “that he had felt pressure from local authorities who summoned him twice concerning broadcasting permits.” He had “attended both meetings and...feared such requests had been provoked by his journalism.” Amnesty International said that a “full and impartial investigation” into Argeñal's murder was “urgently needed.”

Two days after Argeñal's body was found, the Committee to Protect Journalists, which had previously “found a pattern of botched and negligent investigative work into the killings” of other Honduran journalists, called on Honduran authorities to launch a full investigation into the murder, to identify a motive, and to bring the perpetrators to justice. “We call on Honduran authorities to fully investigate this murder, including a motive related to journalism, and bring those responsible to justice,” said Carlos Lauría, CPJ's senior Americas program coordinator. “As Honduras faces political tension resulting from the November presidential elections and prepares for a new administration, authorities must ensure that journalists can report the news and without the violent reprisals they faced after the events of 2009.”

After Argeñal's murder, Reporters Without Borders (RWB) noted that “Globo is one of the few national broadcasters to criticize the June 2009 coup d'état” and that its employees “have paid a high price for this for the past four years,” including “military occupation of their premises, confiscation of their equipment and targeted murders. The mere fact of working for Globo exposed Argeñal to danger.” The group suggested that Argeñal's murder “could also be linked to his well-known support for Liberty and Refoundation.” Citing the murders of 38 Honduran journalists in the previous decade, RWB commented: “Given the almost complete collapse of the rule of law, will this latest murder remain unpunished like nearly all the others? Does it signal the start of a new crackdown at a time when the country's future seems more uncertain than ever?” RWB added: “We fear the worst, and we regret the international community's inadequate response to this disaster. The priority right now is that authorities investigate this new crime.”

## Funeral

Argeñal's funeral took place at the Church of the Immaculate Conception (el templo Inmaculada Concepción) in Danlí. The mass was celebrated by Fr. German Flores. Argeñal's brother Mario remembered him as “an incredible person, full of good feeling and gift of service.

The seat had become vacant when the Conservative Member of Parliament Glyn Mason had resigned. Mason had held the seat since the 1922 general election. During World War II, the major parties had formed a Coalition Government and agreed an electoral pact, whereby they would not contest by-elections in seats held by the other parties in the government. However, there was nothing to prevent other candidates from standing, and A. L. Lucas stood in Croydon North as an independent candidate. Despite a very low turnout, the Conservative candidate Henry Willink held the seat for his party with a large majority. Lucas forfeited his deposit.

# Fields (department store)

**Fields Stores Ltd.** is a Canadian discount store company owned by FHC Holdings, with 67 locations in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the Northwest Territories.

## History

The first Fields store was established in Vancouver in 1950 by the chain's founders, Joseph Segal and Saul "Sonny" Wosk. From there, Fields grew to eight stores by the time it opened a store at Capilano Mall in North Vancouver in 1968, continuing to expand across British Columbia into the 1970s with the acquisitions of several regional retailers (including several small HBC stores in smaller towns). In 1972, Fields purchased a subsidiary chain of hardware stores called Marshall Wells, and after further expansion into Alberta and Saskatchewan, it acquired majority ownership of the Zellers chain in 1976. Zellers would reverse the takeover a few months later and make Fields and Marshall Wells into its subsidiaries, all of which were partly acquired by the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) in 1978, and fully owned by 1981. Marshall Wells was sold by HBC in 1985, and Fields was moved from a Zellers subsidiary into a full division of HBC in 1988.

In contrast with the much larger Zellers stores, the Fields division was intended to be a small format, extreme value retail chain for rural and urban Canadian communities. Hudson's Bay Company announced an aggressive expansion strategy for Fields, adding 53 new stores in 2006–2007, with another 35 locations planned for 2008. Over the next several years, HBC planned on opening around 800 new stores across Canada. New locations featured the successful Fields "Mini Mart" concept.

In December 2011, HBC announced that Fields stores would cease operations, beginning February 2012 in Ontario where 26 stores closed. The remaining 141 stores were also announced to close in phases throughout the year ending in the Fall of 2012. But on May 1, 2012, a company called FHC Holdings Ltd. announced that it had purchased 57 Fields stores in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories from HBC with the intent of keeping those stores open. The company also operates discount closeout stores under the brand McFrugals.

title: Field sparrow

abstract: The field sparrow is a small New World sparrow in the family Passerellidae. It is about 140 mm (6 in) long and weighs about 12.5 g (0.4 oz). The head is grey with a rust-coloured crown, white eye-ring and pink bill. The upper parts are brown streaked with black and buff, the breast is buff, the belly is white and the tail is forked. There are two different colour morphs, one being greyer and the other more rufous. The field sparrow is distributed across eastern Canada and the eastern United States, with northern populations migrating southwards to southern United States and north-eastern Mexico in the fall. The typical habitat of this bird is bushy country with shrubs and grassland. The nest is a cup-shaped construction built on the ground and hidden beneath a bush or clump of grass. The birds forage on the ground or in low vegetation, feeding mainly on seeds and insects. The population is thought to be in slow decline, but it is a common species with a wide range, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".

## Distribution and habitat

Their breeding habitat is brushy, shrubby fields across eastern North America. The nest is an open cup on the ground under a clump of grass or in a small thicket. They often breed more than once in each season, and each time they build a new nest, the nest is built higher off the ground as the season progresses and leaves grow in..Their eggs are laid in May or June; they are pale bluish white, speckled and blotched with yellowish brown and grayish purple.

These birds are permanent residents in the southern parts of their range. Northern birds migrate to the southern United States and Mexico.

## Habits

These birds forage on the ground or in low vegetation, mainly eating insects and seeds. They may feed in small flocks outside the nesting season.

The male sings from a higher perch, such as a shrub or fencepost, which indicates his ownership of the nesting territory. The song is a series of sad whistles ending in a trill, the sound formed like the accelerating sound of a bouncing ball has the quality coming to rest, usually last a long 4 seconds, both are often compared.

This bird's numbers expanded as settlers cleared forests in eastern North America, but may have declined in more recent times. Despite this, it is a common species with a wide range, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".
