# Historic Chapels Trust

The **Historic Chapels Trust** is a British Registered Charity set up to care for redundant non-Anglican churches, chapels, and places of worship in England. To date, its holdings encompass various nonconformist Christian denominations and Roman Catholic sites.

## Foundation

Established in 1993, the Trust takes into ownership buildings of exceptional architectural and historic significance that are no longer used by their congregations. In practice this means buildings listed Grade I or II\* by English Heritage. It was founded in response to the large number of places of worship that were being demolished or destroyed by insensitive conversion and it remains the only body with this mission in England.

## Activities

Once acquired, the buildings are repaired and restored, and then available for new, mostly secular, community uses. The places of worship can be of any denomination or faith, other than the Anglican Church. To date they have included Nonconformist chapels of the Methodist, Unitarian, Baptist, Lutheran denominations, two Congregationalist chapels, two Quaker meeting houses and four Roman Catholic churches. The Trust has the power to take synagogues and non-Christian places of worship but in spite of negotiations has not yet done so. The Trust arranges for the chapels to be open to the public at advertised times, and wherever possible it introduces disabled access. Its policy is that the chapels should be used for community activities, including concerts, lectures, conferences, exhibitions, and any other activity compatible with conservation of the building. The Trust also encourages the use of the buildings for services of worship.

At about half of its sites the Trust has formed a volunteer local committee to organise events, arrange occasional services of worship. At others it engages volunteers as key-holders and to assist with the maintenance of sites. Whenever possible and appropriate, the Trust installs modern heating and lighting, kitchens and toilets. In 2012 the Trust declared a moratorium on rescuing new sites unless they are donated together with endowment funds, a policy it will review if finances allow.

Directors of the Trust were Dr.Jenny Freeman 1993 – 2011. On her retirement Dr Freeman was awarded an OBE for her services to heritage. Roland Jeffery held the post of Director 2013–2018.

## Finances

The Trust has no endowment and receives no direct government grant. Its resources are won from English Heritage, the Heritage Lottery Fund, money earned by events at the buildings, grants from trusts and foundations, legacies from Supporters and donations from individuals and Patrons. This is in contrast with the larger Churches Conservation Trust, which received 70 percent of its funding from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and the Church of England but which can only take into care Anglican buildings.

## Governance

The Trust is a secular UK registered charity and operates only in England. Since 2015 the President of the Trust is the Rt Hon Lord Beith. In 2018 the charity announced that because of the uncertainty of future funding the Trust's office would close with immediate effect and its work managed on Trustees' behalf by the Churches Conservation Trust, an Anglican not for profit organisation. This arrangement was terminated in 2023.

## Rescued places of worship

In spite of its meagre resources the Trust has to date rescued 20 properties. Some have been semi-derelict buildings, such as the Dissenters' Chapel in Kensal Green Cemetery, and Salem Chapel in East Budleigh, Devon. Some chapels are in remote locations, such as Biddlestone Chapel in Northumberland, Farfield Friends Meeting House in West Yorkshire, and Penrose Methodist Chapel in Cornwall. Others are in urban areas, such as Wallasey Memorial Unitarian Church in Merseyside, and St George's German Lutheran Church in London. Some are small and simple, large and elaborate buildings, such as the Bethesda Methodist Chapel in Hanley, Staffordshire, Todmorden Unitarian Church in West Yorkshire, Umberslade Baptist Church in the West Midlands, and the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in Blackpool, Lancashire. During the first 13 years of its existence, the Trust won ten architectural awards, including a Europa Nostra Award for the Dissenters' Chapel.

# Müsüslü Military Detachment

**Müsüslü Military Unit** (Müsüslü Hərbi Dəstəsi) the national military unit and subdivisions that took up positions in June 1918 near the Müsüslü station against the forces of the I Caucasian Red Corps, which consisted of the Dashnak-Bolshevik groups of the Baksovnarkom, which were moving towards Ganja to liquidate the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic.

## Creation

They were based on Azerbaijani units and subdivisions created as part of the Muslim Corps. While the attack of the Dashnak-Bolshevik groups on Ganja was intensifying, the chief of staff of the Caucasian Islamic Army Nazim bey arrived at the Müsüslü station on June 14, 1918, and took personal command of the national units and subdivisions located here. On June 27, 1918, Nazim bey was called to Ganja. The military units and subdivisions near Müsüslü were united under a single command and were named the Müsüslü Detachment. By order of the commander of the Caucasian Islamic Army, Lieutenant Colonel Habib Bey Salimov was appointed commander of this detachment. The detachment included the following Azerbaijani units and subunits:

* I and II companies of the 1st Tatar cavalry regiment
* II company of the 2nd Cavalry unit
* Garayazin cavalry-land forces and foot unit
* Machine gun company
* Armored train
* Field artillery battery
* Telegraph platoon
* Goychay soldier company

## Battles

A detachment consisting of the 1st brigade of the 1st Caucasian red Dashnak-Bolshevik corps and the personnel of the instruction school was created against the Müsüslü detachment. The Bolsheviks also had an armored train.

On July 2, 1918, the detachment of L. Bicherakhov was also involved against the Müsüslü detachment, to which the command of the front was transferred. The Müsüslü detachment took part in 3 battles: June 18–29 on the Müsüslü-Garamaryam line, July 5-10 near Kurdamir, and July 12-14 near Karrar station. Depending on the mashstab of the battles, the detachment was strengthened both by the Ottoman Armed Forces and by volunteer Azerbaijani detachments. For example, during the Kurdamir battles, on the orders of Nuri Pasha, detachments located in Agdash and Khaldan, as well as a Qazax detachment, consisting of 350 unarmed fighters, were added to the Müsüslü detachment.

On July 16, 1918, the Southern group was created on the basis of the Müsüslü detachment, and the Müsüslü detachment was disbanded..

## History

The University Singers chorus was founded in 1951 by Richard Eaton, the first Chair of the Department of Music at the University of Alberta. In 1969, after Eaton's death, the choir voted to rename the group after its founder.

Richard Eaton conducted the Chorus until 1967, and was succeeded by Alexandra Munn (1967–1973), Larry Cook (1973–1981), and Leonard Ratzlaff (1981-2022), all U of A faculty members.

The choir has completed a number of tours in Canada; in 1970 the choir performed several concerts in England, and in 1987 they traveled to The Hague.

In the 1980s the RES conducted evening concerts at Edmonton's All Saints Cathedral.

RES is currently conducted by Timothy Shantz, department head of Choral Conducting at the University of Alberta (2021).

# Historisch Museum Den Briel

The **Historisch Museum Den Briel** (English: *Brielle Historical Museum*) is a Dutch museum located in Brielle. The museum was previously known as the ***Trompmuseum***, after Brielle-born Maarten Tromp who defeated the Spanish fleet in the Eighty Years' War.

## History

The museum was founded in 1912 by the government of Den Briel. In 1958 a charitable organization supporting the museum was created. In 1998 the museum received a nationally recognized certification of quality.

The museum has twice suffered from theft in recent history. In 2003 nine gold coins were stolen and in 2009 thieves took an 18th-century clay pipe from the exhibition.

## Collection

The museum is organized largely chronologically and in part thematically. At ground level a largely archaeological exhibition is on display. This exhibition was thoroughly reorganized and expanded in 2007, adding most prominently some recently discovered late medieval wax tablets.

Apart from prehistorical, Roman and medieval Brielle the museum also presents Brielle during the Eighty Years' War and the Second World War.

The museum is located inside Brielle's former weigh house and local prison, built in 1623. With old prison cells on display, the building itself is considered part of the collection.

# Thomas King (New Zealand politician)

**Thomas King** (21 November 1821 – 28 April 1893) was a 19th-century New Zealand politician. He served in the 1st and 2nd Parliaments, and was otherwise active in New Plymouth. He was one of the first settlers, coming out on the first ship to New Plymouth in 1841.

## Early life

King was born in London on 21 November 1821. He received his education at the City of London School and then at Oxford University.

He came to New Zealand in March 1841 on the *William Bryan*. He married Mary Chilman (born in London), the daughter of the New Plymouth settler Richard Chilman, in 1846. She was the sister of Richard Chilman, the local secretary of the Plymouth Company. The Kings had seven children.

## Political career

King was a member of the Taranaki Provincial Council, serving as provincial treasurer.

### Member of Parliament

New Zealand Parliament
| Years | Term | Electorate | | Party | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 185355 | 1st | Grey and Bell | |  | Independent |
|  | | | | | |
| 1860 | 2nd | Grey and Bell | |  | Independent |

King served in the 1st New Zealand Parliament for Grey and Bell and resigned on 22 June 1855. He declared himself "tired of political life with its anxieties, cares, and responsibilities – with my severance from my home and my family". Financial worries may also have played a part – King was not by any means wealthy, and was consequently a notable champion of remuneration and expenses for MPs.

He entered Parliament again during its second term in the same electorate in a 28 May 1860 by-election. The by-election resulted from the resignation of Charles Brown, whose militia service required his full attention. King was the only candidate in the by-election, and was thus declared elected.

William Cutfield King and Thomas King (no relation) contested the Grey and Bell electorate in the 1860 election. On nomination day, the contestants addressed the electors and at the end of the meeting, the Returning Officer requested a show of hands, which was declared to be in favour of Thomas King. Consequently, W. C. King requested an election, which was held on Tuesday, 27 November 1860. W. C. King and T. King received 93 and 34 votes, respectively. Thus, his namesake was elected, but didn't attend Parliament, since he was killed in the First Taranaki War in February 1861 before the first session had started.

## Professional life

Upon arrival in New Zealand, King was originally a farmer and later became the manager of the Bank of New Zealand in New Plymouth for 16 years, from 1861 to 1878. He chaired the New Plymouth Harbour Board for many years until his death. He was the chairman of the New Plymouth Gas Company from its inception until his death.

## Death

King died at 4 am on 28 April 1893 at his residence in Dawson Street, New Plymouth. He was buried at Te Henui Cemetery.

He was survived by four sons, one daughter, and his wife. One of his sons, Truby King, was at the time of his death the Medical Superintendent of the Seacliff Lunatic Asylum. Truby's older brother Newton became a successful businessman in New Plymouth.

# Paul Koslo

**Paul Koslo** (born **Manfred Koslowski**; June 27, 1944  January 9, 2019) was a German-born Canadian actor.

## Career

Koslo started his career in such 1970s films as *Nam's Angels* a.k.a. *The Losers*, *Vanishing Point* and *The Stone Killer*. He also appeared opposite Charlton Heston in the science fiction film *The Omega Man*, in a sympathetic co-starring role. He portrayed villains in *Joe Kidd* (1972), *Mr. Majestyk* (1974), and *The Drowning Pool* (1975).

He and fellow *Omega Man* co-star Anthony Zerbe also appeared in *Rooster Cogburn* (1975). After a solid supporting part as a Jewish concentration camp survivor in the critically acclaimed *Voyage of the Damned* (1976), as well as the mayor in *Heaven's Gate* (1980), he began a long run of portraying villainous types in productions such as *Roots: The Next Generations* and *The Glitter Dome*. In rare, in-depth interviews with both *Psychotronic Video* and *Shock Cinema* (issue No. 14) magazines, Koslo spoke about his experiences working in several films with Charles Bronson and in *The Omega Man* with Heston.

Starting in the late 1970s, Koslo appeared (usually as a villain) in a string of television shows such as *The Rockford Files*, *Mission: Impossible*, Barnaby Jones, *The Incredible Hulk*, *Quincy, M.E.*, *Buck Rogers in the 25th Century*, *T. J. Hooker*, *The A-Team*, *The Fall Guy*, *Dallas* and *Hunter*. In the *Highway to Heaven* episode "The Torch" he played a leader of the American Nazi Party. Koslo found it tough to deliver his character's often bigotry-riddled dialogue, and during the filming of a scene set at a Nazi rally the cast and crew were heckled by passers-by, since the scene was filmed on location in downtown Los Angeles with swastikas decorating the outside of a building. He also appeared as Jesse James in *The Dukes of Hazzard* seventh-season episode "Go West, Young Dukes".

In the 1980s, along with television appearances, he appeared in several independent action films (most of them straight-to-video). He was also in *Loose Cannons* (1990) and appeared as the Russian battle-robot pilot Alexander in the science fiction film *Robot Jox* (1990).

## Personal life

Koslo met his wife, Allaire Paterson, at the MET Theatre in Hollywood, when he produced a one-woman show, *Purple Breasts*, a critically acclaimed play she co-wrote and starred in. They married in 1997 and had one child together.

Paul Koslo lived in Vasquez Rocks, CA and was also the owner of the Red Rock Inn.

Koslo died on January 9, 2019, from pancreatic cancer at the age of 74.

# Thomas Biggin Broadbent

**Thomas Biggin Broadbent** (1793–1817), was an English preacher.

## Life

Broadbent was the only child of William Broadbent and was born at Warrington on 17 March 1793. He entered Glasgow College in November 1809. After graduating in April 1813, he became classical tutor in the Unitarian academy at Hackney, an office he filled till 1816, preaching latterly at Prince's Street Chapel, Westminster, during a vacancy. His pulpit powers were remarkable. Resigning his London work, he returned to Warrington to pursue his ministerial training as his father's assistant. He died of apoplexy on 9 November 1817.

## Writings

He prepared for the press, in 1816, portions (1 and 2 Cor., 1 Tim., and Titus) of Thomas Belsham's *Epistles of Paul the Apostle*, published in four volumes in 1822. He also edited the fourth edition (1817) of the "Improved Version" of the New Testament, originally published in 1808 under Belsham's superintendence. Two of his sermons, published posthumously in 1817, reached a second edition.

text:
# Metro Manila Pride March

**Metro Manila Pride March and Festival** is an annual pride parade in Metro Manila, Philippines organized by the Metro Manila Pride (MM Pride) organization.

## History

### Reach Out Foundation era (1996–1998)

The first Metro Manila Pride was held in 1996. This edition is often regarded as the first ever pride parade in the Philippines, with the 1994 Stonewall Manila parade by the MCC and Progay and the Lesbian March of 1993 as contenders for this recognition. The 1996 march banks on having relatively more larger amount of attendees.

The Reach Out Foundation (ROF), a HIV/AIDS network, was originally the lead organization for the Metro Manila Pride march. ROF provided the funding while other affiliate organizations were relegated to providing logistical support.

The inaugural march named Solidarity 96, was dubbed by its organizers as the "first gay and lesbian pride march in Southeast Asia" with 30 organizations in attendance. After 1998, ROF relinquished its role from leading the march's organization.

### Task Force Pride era (1999–2015)

When Akbayan gained a seat in the House of Representatives in 1998 through the party-list system, it had consultations with various LGBT organizations which led to the creation of LAGABLAB which is advocacy group which focused on lobbying legislation and Task Force Pride (TFP) which would take over pride march organizing duties from ROF starting 1999.

The Metro Manila Pride march would deal with the withdrawal of funding from the ROF, relying on donations from LGBT groups. LAGABLAB would deal with several years of inactivity and the TFP would have times having only three active members.

In 2003, the TFP moved the annual event's date to December. From the 2015 edition, the pride march is held every June once again. This is when attendance started to rise exponentially.

### Current iteration (2016–)

The Metro Manila Pride (MM Pride) would be organized, and would take over the conduct of the pride march from Task Force Pride since the 2016 edition.

The 2019 edition would see 70,000 attendees and the Metro Manila Pride march by this time would be branded by its organizers as the "largest in Southeast Asia".

For 2020 and 2021, the event would be held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

# Grammatical Man

***Grammatical Man: Information, Entropy, Language, and Life*** is a 1982 book written by Jeremy Campbell, then Washington correspondent for the *Evening Standard*. The book examines the topics of probability, information theory, cybernetics, genetics, and linguistics. Information processes are used to frame and examine all of existence, from the Big Bang to DNA to human communication to artificial intelligence.

## Part 1: Establishing the Theory of Information

* The book's first chapter, *The Second Law and the Yellow Peril*, introduces the concept of entropy and gives brief outlines of the histories of Information Theory and cybernetics, examining World War II figures such as Claude Shannon and Norbert Wiener.
* *The Noise of Heat* gives an outline of the history of thermodynamics, focusing on Rudolf Clausius's 2nd Law and its relation to order and information.
* In *The Demon Possessed* Campbell examines the concept of entropy and presents entropy as missing information.
* Chapter Four, *A Nest of Subtleties and Traps*, takes its name from a critique of one of the earliest theorems in probability theory, Law of large numbers (Bernoulli, 1713). The chapter outlines the history of probability, touching on characters such as Gerolamo Cardano, Antoine Gombaud, Bernoulli, Richard von Mises, and John Maynard Keynes. Campbell examines information and entropy as a probability distribution of possible messages and says that subjective versus objective interpretations of probability are made largely obsolete by an understanding of the relationship between probability and information.
* *Not Too Dull, Not Too Exciting* addresses the problem of clarifying order from disorder within communication by highlighting the role that redundancy plays in information theory.
* In the last chapter of Part 1, *The Struggle Against Randomness*, Campbell addresses the concepts published by Shannon in 1948—that a message can be sent from one place to another, even under noisy conditions, and be as free from error as the sender cares to make it, as long as it is coded in the proper form.

## Part 2: Nature as an Information Process

* Campbell uses *Arrows in All Directions* discusses the potential inverse relation between entropy and novelty, invoking such concepts as Laplace's Superman. Campbell quotes David Layzer:
> For Laplace's "intelligence," as for the God of Plato, Galileo and Einstein, the past and future coexist on equal terms, like the two rays into which an arbitrarily chosen point divides a straight line. If the theories I have presented are correct, however, not even the ultimate computer --the universe itself-- ever contains enough information to specify completely its own future states. The present moment always contains an element of genuine novelty and the future is never wholly predictable. Because biological processes also generate information and because consciousness enables us to experience those processes directly, the intuitive perception of the world as unfolding in time captures one of the most deepseated properties of the universe.
* Chapter 8, *Chemical Word and Chemical Deed*, examines the processes of DNA as information processes. Campbell makes the distinction between first order DNA messages and second order, or structural, DNA messages (e.g., "how to bake a cake" versus "how to read a recipe"). This distinction he relates to the linguistic principles of Noam Chomsky's Universal Grammar.
* In *Jumping the Complexity Barrier*, Campbell discusses the concept of emergence and notes that Information Theory, thermodynamics, linguistics, and the theory of evolution make significant use of terms and phrases such as "complexity," "novelty," and "constraints on possibilities." Campbell writes:
> To understand complex systems, such as a large computer or a living organism, we cannot use ordinary, formal logic, which deals with events that definitely will happen or definitely will not happen. A probabilistic logic is needed, one that makes statements about how likely or unlikely it is that various events will happen.

Campbell also discusses John von Neumann in relating information theory, evolution, and linguistics to machines. The chapter closes with an examination of emergent systems and their relation to Gödel incompleteness.
* *Something Rather Subtle*

## Part 3: Coding Language, Coding Life

* Algorithms and Evolution
* Partly Green Till the Day We Die
* No Need for Ancient Astronauts
* The Clear and the Noisy Messages of Language
* A Mirror of the Mind

## Part 4: How the Brain Puts It All Together

* The Brain as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Other Fallacies
* The Strategies of Seeing
* The Bottom and Top of Memory
* The Information of Dreams
* The Left and Right of Knowing
* The Second-Theorem Society

title: Histidine operon leader

abstract: The Histidine operon leader is an RNA element found in the bacterial histidine operon. At least 6 amino acid operons are known to be regulated by attenuation. In each a leader sequence of 150–200 bp is found upstream of the first gene in the operon. This leader sequence can assume two different secondary structures known as the terminator and the anti-terminator structure. In each case the leader also codes for very short peptide sequence that is rich in the end product amino acid of the operon. The terminator structure is recognised as a termination signal for RNA polymerase and the operon is not transcribed. This structure forms when the cell has an excess of the regulatory amino acid and ribosome movement over the leader transcript is not impeded. When there is a deficiency of the charged tRNA of the regulatory amino acid the ribosome translating the leader peptide stalls and the antiterminator structure can form. This allows RNA polymerase to transcribe the operon.

# Help! Help! Police!

***Help! Help! Police!*** is a lost 1919 silent American comedy film directed by Edward Dillon.

## Plot

As described in the film magazine *Moving Picture World*, George Welston (Walsh), the son of a wealthy rubber manufacturer, is staying in Palm Beach as is another rubber man, Judson Pendleton (Hallam), and his daughter Eve (Mann). The two fathers are concerned about a $100,000 rubber shipment, and are competing for it. George has been arrest twice for speeding. One night he sees a man going by the window into Eve's room, so he climbs the roof and enters. The thief sees him coming and locks himself in a closet. The house detective sees George enter and nabs him, and while they are arguing the thief escapes. Eve and her father enter her room, and her father makes the detective let George go, although he still suspects him. The thief enters another room, gags a girl who was sleeping there, and takes her jewels. A cigarette starts the room on fire. George sees the smoke and rescues the girl. While taking the unconscious girl to the hospital, he is stopped by a policeman. The girl accuses George of the robbery. A trial is set, and George's father puts up $100,000 as bail. This would keep him from getting the rubber shipment unless the thief is caught. Pendleton has also lost his $100,000 in the robbery. George gets on the trail of two thieves, and after a fight chases them in an automobile. He manages to imprison them in a van without their suspecting anything is wrong. He delivers the two thieves to court just as the hour for the start of the trial is reached. Both $100,000 are recovered, and Pendleton decides that George would make a good son-in-law.
