**Harris Science Academy East London** (**HSAEL**), formerly known as **East London Science School** (**ELSS**), is a coeducational secondary free school with specialist school status in science and language in Stratford, Bromley and Bow, in the London boroughs of Newham and Tower Hamlets. It was founded on Three Mills Island in its first temporary and current main site, the Clock Mill, by its first principal, David Perks, in 2013. The school originally planned to move to its permanent site two years after its opening, however this has yet to occur. The new building is being built by Berkeley Homes as part of its Twelvetrees Park development project (formerly Stephenson Street) and is expected to be complete sometime in 2022.

In September 2022, the school joined the Harris Federation, a multi-academy trust with schools in London and Essex, and was given its current name.

## History

### Early years and opening

East London Science School was opened on 2 September 2013 by its founder and first principal David Perks with the intention of providing an education of rigour to students regardless of academic aptitude. Prior to its opening it faced local opposition. David Perks told Spiked that students were "recruited outside schools, on the street" as funds for the school, including for a building, were withdrawn until after its admissions closed. Plans for the school lacked a playground for students, leading to difficulties in gaining approval for its opening. It was housed in its temporary and current site, the Clock Mill, a Grade II listed building located on Three Mills Island. This site was chosen by the London Legacy Development Corporation. Sixth form education and a permanent site were expected to be provided two years within its opening, with the sixth form successfully opening by 2015. The first chairman was Dennis Hayes, who was elected in January 2014.

The school gained a "good" Ofsted grade in 2015. During this time, a location for a permanent site was still under negotiation between the school trust and the Greater London Authority, however it was expected to neighbour West Ham. The Minister of State for School Standards, Nick Gibb, visited the school in March 2015 and suggested that it take a leading role in encouraging other neighbouring secondaries to teach computing, mathematics and science as core subjects. Principal Perks met with Gibb previously in 2014, when they evaluated old science textbooks and co-created updated textbooks in light of the new changes to the national curriculum.

In July 2015, the London Legacy Development Corporation permitted the school to expand their temporary site into the building opposite of the Clock Mil, the Custom House. This was done to provide room for the increasing student population. The school's lease on the Clock Mill, which was originally scheduled to expire on 30 September 2015, was also granted an extra three years, as the school had failed to secure a permanent site before this date. It was decided that the school's permanent site be built on Stephenson Street in West Ham, as part of the Berkeley Homes Twelvetrees Park development project. The new school building is expected to be complete sometime in 2022.

In October 2017 Chairwoman Beth Davies was elected, serving until October 2018. Her successor, Chairman Adam Atashzai, was a special adviser during the David Cameron premiership and reported directly to the Prime Minister. The school's first GCSE examination results were released in 2018, with grades increasing in 2019. Ofsted made a brief inspection in January 2019 and reaffirmed their previous assessment of the school's "good" grade.

### Inadequacy and transfer

In October 2019 the school trust was accused of mishandling funds. Investigations were made throughout 2020 by the Education and Skills Funding Agency, culminating in a report published in November 2020. The report concluded that multiple financial stipulations stated in the Academies Financial Handbook had been violated and funds were grossly misused on products such as a drone and camera, despite there being a severe deficit. Principal Perks' administrative power went unchallenged and governors were chosen based on their "connections" with him. Salaries and jobs were granted favourably for people affiliated with Perks, including a science department head who lacked the relevant qualifications for the job. Other violations included Perks keeping the school debit card outside the school premises and funds being sent to a Brexit organisation ran by The Baroness Fox of Buckley, who also had links to the Revolutionary Communist Party. A financial notice to improve was issued soon after, forcing the trust to follow a strict quota and recommending that the school join a "strong Multi-Academy Trust".

In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Perks became the first English headteacher who defied government guidance on mandatory face coverings in schools. Perks criticised the recommended mandatory face coverings as appeasing teaching unions and cited the herd immunity of East London Science School, produced as a result of previous cases in 2020, as a reason why they were not needed. Perks claimed that the school had not "a single positive test from a member of staff or child since December". Perks did however state that if mandatory coverings were legally enforced, as opposed to recommended, he would implement the mandate. Department for Education representative Sue Baldwin expressed concern over Perks' defiance and enquired the school over its face mask policy. According to Chairman Atashzai, It was decided that the school would now mandate face coverings as recommended in the government guidance, however Principal Perks refused to comment.

In June 2021 an Ofsted inspection graded the school as "inadequate" and placed it into special measures. Religious education was absent from the school's curriculum and its harsh testing regime was criticised for overworking teachers (exams were held each half term). Safeguarding and relationship and sex education also failed to meet set requirements. Principal Perks had taken a leave of absence and his duties were fulfilled by Vice Principal Mark Taylor as interim principal, however Perks left permanently in November 2021.

In February 2022 the Department for Education asked the Harris Federation to invite East London Science School into its multi-academy trust. This was decided by the Regional Schools Commissioner, who recommended the motion. Newham Council opposed the measure and instead wanted the school to be taken over by a local multi-academy trust. Nonetheless, the transfer received approval from the commissioner's advisory board on 24 February 2022. As a result, the school began the process of joining the federation and planned to have finished doing so by September 2022. The financial notice to improve on the school's trust was also lifted in May 2022.

The Department for Education confirmed the school's transfer to the Harris Federation on 24 June 2022. It joined the federation on 1 September 2022 and was renamed to Harris Science Academy East London (HSAEL). It retained specialist status in science and its principal Mark Taylor continued to serve under the executive headship of Lawrence Foley, who was also the executive headteacher of Harris Academy Tottenham. The federation built a new kitchen and design and technology room in one of the school's current temporary sites in response to parents' concerns around the slow progress of the new permanent site in the summer of 2022.

## Governance

As a free school (which in law operate as academies), Harris Science Academy East London is governed by an academy trust. Before it joined the Harris Federation, it was self governing under its own single-academy trust, the East London Science School Trust. The trust was incorporated a year prior to the school's opening and was headquartered at the Clock Mill. The school in this period was run by its board of trustees, which acted as its governing body. The board determined school ethos and money spending and was responsible for holding the principal and his senior leadership team (which administered the school) to account. The board was led by its chair and consisted of the principal, two parent governors, one staff governor and multiple external governors. Governors were held to account by members, who had the ability to overrule their actions and remove or appoint them. Members appointed each other and could determine the contents of the trust's articles of association. The first principal David Perks was also the accounting officer, however this role was not inherited by his successor, Mark Taylor.

Notable former governors of the school include Conservative Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Rishi Sunak and one of Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron's special advisers, Adam Atashzai. During Sunak's July–September 2022 bid to become leader of the Conservative Party and therefore Prime Minister, the Labour Party questioned his time as an ELSS governor, citing the school's links to the Revolutionary Communist Party.

## Curriculum

Harris Science Academy East London is a specialist school in language and science and was established to boost local opportunities for students to study science at university. It aims to provide an education of rigour to students regardless of social background or academic aptitude. As a result, the curriculum is academic and centres around technical education, mathematics and the core sciences of physics, chemistry and biology, which are taught separately. The language specialism consists of French and German. Grammar is emphasised in each subject and students are expected to work hard to succeed, with 12 tests being taken half-termly. Students are placed in a public ranking system to encourage competition and failing students are incentivised to "work harder".

Students are entered for GCSE and EPQ qualifications, which are attained through linear courses (courses that end with examinations that determine students' grades). Examinations for the courses are held during the summer term of year eleven and students then take linear courses for A-Level qualifications in the sixth form (years twelve and thirteen).

In year groups seven to eleven, all students learn the three core sciences, English language and literature, ethics, mathematics and sports. A number of subjects are universal in years seven and eight but optional from year nine. These subjects may be chosen by students in year eight for studies at GCSE level. They include the humanities of history and geography, the languages of German, French and Latin, computer science, music, photography and art. Students must choose to study one of the languages and humanities as part of the English Baccalaureate and one artistic or technical subject. Optional subjects introduced in year nine include GCSE sports, level 2 EPQ philosophy, the languages of Mandarin and Ancient Greek, electronics, astronomy and economics. Subject "integrity" is prioritised until year ten, when the focus turns to the contents of students' chosen GCSE courses. This is gradually introduced in the concluding stages of year nine and is phased out for revision in year eleven. Another optional subject, further mathematics, is also introduced during this curricular period.

At the sixth form level all students are required to study a science and mathematics A-Level course. Two more A-Level courses are then chosen in the previously studied subject areas of philosophy, economics, one of the humanities, Latin, English literature and art. The sixth form's purpose is to produce future scientists, medics and engineers in its students.

## Extracurricular activities

### Enrichment

Harris Science Academy East London offers a free enrichment programme that aims to emulate those seen in independent schools (private schools). A minimum of 30 school trips are held for lower school students annually, in which subjects such as the arts or sciences are focused upon. Nominally, these lower school trips take place across London each week in the afternoon. Personalised trips focusing on students' GCSE courses are offered from year nine. Every May, the curriculum is suspended for two weeks to give way to the "enrichment fortnight", a period where trips outside London are offered. In 2021, the enrichment fortnight was replaced by an enrichment week due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was delayed to July. Before the pandemic, student exchange programmes were held between East London Science School and schools in Beijing, China. These programmes are planned to be reintroduced once public health restrictions are withdrawn.

Beginning in year nine, all students can compete for the Duke of Edinburgh Award. The award is split into three parts; physical, skills and volunteering. Students are assessed in these areas based on photographic evidence and essays, which are submitted to the "electronic Duke of Edinburgh's System". The award's expeditionary area gives students the ability to go on a two-day camping trip where the subjects of campcraft, teamwork, navigation and cookery are taught. The award is monitored by the school's Duke of Edinburgh coordinator, who as of 2018 is the only Duke of Edinburgh coordinator in East London.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, personalised tuition has been offered to sixth formers with a particular focus on students who failed their GCSEs in English and mathematics or have special needs.

### Sports

Harris Science Academy East London has three male football teams based from the Clock Mill site, teams U12A, U14A and U17. U17 has participated in the London Youth Games and U12A and U14A have competed against other local schools. All year seven students take rowing lessons at the Royal Docks and can opt to row in the nearby lake for two hours. Swimming lessons are provided from rented locations in Mile End, as are other sports throughout London including netball, basketball and cricket. Rugby league lessons are held at the East London Rugby Club.

### Physics Factory

The Physics Factory is a charity and teaching network that intends to improve results in the subject area of physics. It is jointly led by Harris Science Academy East London and Sydney Russell School and had a membership of 154 teachers and 4620 students in 2016 and 30 secondary schools in 2015. The network is based in East London and includes extracurricular activities such as workshops, school trips and, for teachers, continuing professional development (CPD). Former principal David Perks founded the Physics Factory and currently serves as its director.

London Mayor Boris Johnson allocated £443,000 to the Physics Factory in 2014. He also taught a Latin lesson supporting the *No* campaign in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum to some of East London Science School's students in that same year.

## School sites

Currently, Harris Science Academy East London occupies two different sites in the boroughs of Newham and Tower Hamlets. The Clock Mill and Custom House on Three Mills Island are located in Stratford, Newham and act as the main site, serving the lower school. Lock Keepers, an apartment complex located on Gillender Street and Navigation Road in Bromley and Bow, Tower Hamlets, hosts the upper school site. The school also had a third, sixth form site which opened in 2018 and was located on Hilda Road in Canning Town, Newham. It closed in July 2022 with sixth form provision returning to The Clock Mill.

The school's permanent site will be located on Stephenson Street in West Ham in the Berkeley Homes Twelvetrees Park development project. It is expected to be complete sometime in 2022.

title: Harris Station Dam

abstract: Harris Station Dam is a hydroelectric dam in Northeast Somerset, Somerset County, Maine. Also known as the Indian Pond Project, the dam was built from 1952 to 1954 as the largest hydroelectric dam in the state of Maine. It impounds the Kennebec River at the southern end of the natural Indian Pond, about 12 miles (19 km) downstream from Moosehead Lake. The concrete gravity structure is 175 feet (53 m) high and was named for Ford Harris, the chief engineer of original builders Central Maine Power. The dam creates about 86 megawatts of hydroelectric power. It is owned and operated by Brookfield Renewable. The Kennebec River valley is flooded upstream of the dam northeasterly through Indian Stream township into Sapling township. Tributaries Bog Brook, Gold Brook, Falls Brook, Coburn Brook, and Brandy Brook enter the west side of the reservoir. East side tributaries are Burnham Brook draining Burnham Pond, and Indian Stream draining Little Indian Bog, Big Indian Pond, Trout Pond, and Moore Bog. The reservoir has good cold water habitat for brook trout, lake trout, and land-locked Atlantic salmon.

# Peter Watson (arts benefactor)

**Victor William (Peter) Watson** (14 September 1908 – 3 May 1956) was a wealthy English art collector and benefactor. He funded the literary magazine, *Horizon*, edited by Cyril Connolly.

## Life and work

Watson was the son of William George Watson, later Sir George Watson, 1st Baronet, and was the youngest of three children—his brother Norman was born in 1897 and sister Florence in 1894. He was educated at Lockers Park School, Eton College and St John's College, Oxford.

Watson was an avid art collector acquiring works by such artists as Miró, Klee, and Pablo Picasso, which were displayed in his Paris apartment in the 1930s. He was the principal benefactor of the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London and also provided financial assistance to English and Irish painters including Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud and John Craxton. In 1930, society photographer, artist and set designer Sir Cecil Beaton began a lifelong obsession with Watson, though the two never became lovers. One chapter from Hugo Vickers' authorized biography of Cecil Beaton is titled "I Love You, Mr. Watson".

In 1940, Watson provided funding for Cyril Connolly's *Horizon* and became its arts editor. Stephen Spender was also involved with the magazine initially. Watson was art editor for the magazine between 1940 and 1949. He rarely contributed articles, but gave many opportunities for his friends to have their pictures reproduced in the magazine, and also encouraged *Horizon* to look beyond British Art, particularly to Paris. Watson commissioned articles on artists barely known at the time in England, such as Balthus, Morandi and Klee. He persuaded Picasso's dealer, Daniel Kahnweiler, to comment on the contemporary art market; and he also got Michel Leiris to write about Giacometti. Spender recalled to Connolly's biographer, Clive Fisher, that Watson hated "priggishness, pomposity and almost everything to do with public life," and he suspected that he had educated himself "through a love of beautiful works and of people in whom he saw beauty ...". He added "When I think of him then, I think of his clothes, which were beautiful, his general neatness and cleanness, which seemed almost those of a handsome young Bostonian."

Fisher writes that Peter Watson "was a figure of striking attractiveness; women in particular seem to have found his manners irresistible... almost everyone appears to have liked him." One of Watson's lovers was the American male prostitute and socialite Denham Fouts, whom he continued to support even after they separated as a result of Fouts's drug addiction

Watson was found drowned in his bath on 3 May 1956 at his home in Knightsbridge, London. Some have suggested that he was murdered by his young American lover, Norman Fowler (11 May 1927– March 23, 1971). Fowler inherited the bulk of Watson's estate and died 14 years later in the West Indies; he was also found drowned in his bathtub.

Watson's sister, Florence Nagle, was a race horse breeder and trainer. His brother Sir Norman Watson, Baronet, (1897 - 1989), provided funding for the early development of Lake Louise, a ski resort in Alberta, Canada.

# Harry Griffiths (politician)

**Harry Albert Craven Griffiths** (sometimes **Craven-Griffiths**; 30 September 1866 – 23 March 1935) was an Australian politician who served as a Country Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1914 to 1921 and from 1924 until his death.

## Biography

Griffiths was born in Manchester, England, to Eleanor Alice (née Cooke) and Henry Craven Griffiths. He came to Western Australia in 1897, during the gold rush, and lived in Kalgoorlie until 1907, when he moved to a property at Kellerberrin. Griffiths was involved in the establishment of the Farmers and Settlers' Association in the early 1910s, and at the 1914 state election was elected to parliament as a representative of the Country Party, its political wing. He held the seat of York until the 1921 election, when an irregularity in his nomination meant he was unable to recontest.

At the 1922 Legislative Council election, Griffiths unsuccessfully contested East Province as an "Independent Country" candidate, losing to Vernon Hamersley. He re-entered parliament at the 1924 state election, winning the seat of Avon from the sitting Country member, Tom Harrison. He and Harrison had joined separate factions of the party after its 1923 split. Griffiths was re-elected on three more occasions before his death in office in March 1935 (aged 68). He had been married twice, having four children by his first wife.

## History

Pediatrics at University of Rochester Medicine has historically taken place inside of pediatric units within Strong Memorial Hospital, which combined added up to a 124-bed capacity. These units were known as Children's Hospital at Strong before being renamed to "Golisano Children's Hospital" in 2002 after a $14 million donation from Paychex founder, Tom Golisano.

In 2011 plans were made to build a new freestanding children's hospital and Tom Golisano once again donated $20 million to help with the construction of the new project, with his donations totaling $34 million to the hospital. Plans called for new 245,000 SqF, nine-story building with 2 floors empty to use as shell space for future expansion. Construction was set in two parts, with part one opening in 2015.

The project was set at a price of $134 million, the largest project ever for the University of Rochester. Large donations were made to the hospital from large charities including $7 million from the Wegman Family Foundation, $5 million from Georgia Gosnell, and $3 million from Rick Aab in honor of the Ganatra family.

Phase two of construction began in fall 2016 and included pediatric specific operating rooms and a new pediatric intensive care unit. Construction for phase two took place in the 2 floors that were left for later expansion. Phase two was completed by the summer of 2017.

In early 2020 the hospital rolled out a new service for parents of babies that were in the neonatal intensive care unit. The service run by company, AngelEye is able to provide video 24/7 to parents when they can't be in the nicu with their child. Currently there are 20 cameras installed entirely funded by local donations. These cameras are free for parent use.

## About

The new hospital offers many amenities to children previously unseen at Children's Hospital at Strong including a teen lounge, multiple playrooms, and child friendly theming and design.

### Patient Care Units

* 12 bed pediatric intensive care unit

# Franklin D. Sherwood

**Franklin D. Sherwood** (December 25, 1841 in Wheeler, Steuben County, New York – September 14, 1907 in Hornell, Steuben Co., NY) was an American politician from New York.

## Life

He attended the common schools, Lima Academy, and Alfred University. In 1870, he removed to Hornellsville, and engaged in mercantile and manufacturing pursuits.

He was Sheriff of Steuben County from 1877 to 1879.

In November 1891, he was elected to the State Senate, but his Democratic opponent Charles E. Walker contested the election in the courts. Sherwood was at the time of election a member of the Board of Park Commissioners of the City of Hornellsville, and was ultimately declared ineligible by the New York Court of Appeals under Section 3, Article VIII, of the State Constitution. The Board of State Canvassers refused to declare any candidate elected, leaving it to the State Senate to decide how to proceed, and Walker was seated at the beginning of the session of the 115th New York State Legislature by a vote of the Democratic majority of the Senate.

Sherwood was a delegate to the 1892 Republican National Convention and a presidential elector in the 1896 and 1900 presidential elections.

Sherwood was a member of the New York State Senate (41st D.) from 1899 to 1904, sitting in the 122nd, 123rd, 124th, 125th, 126th and 127th New York State Legislatures.

He died on September 14, 1907, in Hornell, New York, and was buried at the Hope Cemetery there.

# HDMS Langeland (1808)

The brig **HDMS *Langeland***, launched in late 1808 and fitted out in 1809, was one of four brigs transferred to Norwegian ports from Denmark on 1 January 1810. From Norway she escorted Danish cargoes or harried enemy (British) merchant shipping. She took part in a successful cruise to the North Cape along with the brig *Lougen* in 1810 and was later taken into the fledgling Norwegian navy after the 1814 Treaty of Kiel. She was sold into merchant service in 1827.

## Danish service

During the summer of 1809, three British gun brigs - the *Snake*-class brig-sloop brig-sloop HMS *Snake* (18), brig HMS *Nightingale* (16), and gun-brig HMS *Gallant* (14), operated in the far northern waters of Norway. They briefly occupied - after one failed attempt – the small town and sheltered harbour of Hammerfest near North Cape.

Senior Lieutenant Thomas Joachim Lütken was captain of the *Langeland* from 1809 to 1814.I 1810 four brigs were transferred to Norwegian ports.

In the spring of 1810 the two Danish-Norwegian brigs *Lougen*, under the command of Captain J. N. Müller and *Langeland* sailed from Fredericksværn and reached Hammerfest on the 28 June where they joined with three gun-schooners \- *Nornen*, *Valkyren* and *Axel Thorsen*, each of which was armed with a 24-pounder gun fore and aft. The Dano-Norwegians hoped to find the expected British force in the waters of North Cape, for which there were few and poor charts, and no pilotage instructions. However, American merchant ships warned *Nightingale* and *Gallant* (*Snake* had already left), of the enemy presence and they disappeared – apparently to Greenland to escort a convoy of British whalers. With the British gone, the coastal trade with Russia blossomed and a final convoy of the year was escorted into Trondheim., including 11 merchant ships.

## Norwegian Service

The Treaty of Kiel in January 1814 separated Norway from Denmark, leaving Norway with a navy of seven brigs (one of which was laid up) and a number of smaller craft. A number of naval officers refused to accept service in the new Norwegian navy until released by the Danish king to whom they had sworn loyalty. Those who joined the Norwegian navy were eventually struck off the Danish lists. Many others obeyed Danish orders and returned to Denmark. Lütken, of the *Langeland*, was briefly arrested when he refused to hand over the ship to the newly constituted Norwegian State.

The *Lolland*, which was larger than the other brigs in the new Norwegian Navy, became the command ship of the Norwegian navy’s brig squadron, whose primary mission was to escort food convoys from Jutland, protecting them from Swedish depredations. However, after a short war, Norway and Sweden united, forming a union that lasted until 1905.

* *Lolland* (Captain Ole Christopher Budde);
* *Seagull* (Senior Lieutenant J. Lund);
* *Allart* (Senior Lieutenant S. Lous);
* *Langeland* (Junior Lieutenant Løvenskiold);
* *Alsen* (Junior Lieutenant Bendz); and
* *Kiel* (Junior Lieutenant Petersen).

## Fate

In 1827, *Langeland* was decommissioned and sold into the merchant navy.

title: Walter G. Winne

abstract: Walter Griffen Winne was an American lawyer and politician who served as a member of the New Jersey General Assembly and U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. As Prosecutor for Bergen County, New Jersey, he was indicted on misconduct charges in 1951 but was subsequently acquitted. He was born in Brooklyn, New York to George T. and Agnes T. (Goff) Winne. He grew up in Hackensack, New Jersey and graduated from Hackensack High School in 1906. He attended Rutgers College, graduating in 1910 with a Bachelor of Literature degree. He attended New York Law School and received a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1912. Winne was first elected to the New Jersey General Assembly in 1916 and served for four terms. In 1922 President Warren G. Harding appointed him U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. His tenure was marked by many controversies over the enforcement of Prohibition in the state. He held the post until 1928, when he returned to private practice. He was appointed Bergen County Counsel in 1934 and Prosecutor in 1944. In 1950, he was removed from office as Bergen County Prosecutor by Deputy Attorney General of New Jersey Nelson Stamler, who was conducting an investigation into gambling in the county. He was indicted on 19 counts of misconduct in 1951, with the charges alleging that he had failed to crack down on illegal gambling in Bergen County. U.S. Senator Estes Kefauver, who was holding Senate hearings on organized crime, called law enforcement in Bergen County under Winne "a sorry spectacle." One of Winne's attorneys in the trial was Joseph Weintraub, who would later serve as Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court. Richard J. Hughes, later Governor of New Jersey, presided as New Jersey Superior Court judge, and ruled in the pretrial phase that there was insufficient evidence to bring Winne to trial. The decision was reversed by the State Supreme Court and Winne was ultimately tried. In 1954, Winne was found not guilty on 16 counts of the indictment, and the state dropped the remaining counts. He attempted to recoup $34,000 in lost salary for the three years that he was removed from office, but he lost his case in a 5-2 decision by the State Supreme Court. Winne continued in private legal practice until his retirement in 1963. He died at the age of 83 at the Van Dyke Nursing Home in Montclair, New Jersey and was to be interred at Hackensack Cemetery.

It is closely related to the writhed hornbill, but can be recognized by the yellow throat and ocular skin in the male, and the blue throat and ocular skin in the female. Its binomial name commemorates the Scottish ornithologist Viscount Walden. It is considered one of the Western Visayas Big 5 which includes the Negros bleeding-heart pigeon, Visayan spotted deer, Visayan hornbill and the Visayan warty pig.

It is closely related to the writhed hornbill, but can be recognized by the yellow throat and ocular skin in the male, and the blue throat and ocular skin in the female (both throat and ocular skin are deep orange or red in both sexes of the writhed hornbill). Its binomial name commemorates the Scottish ornithologist Viscount Walden.

It is considered one of the Western Visayas Big 5 which includes the Negros bleeding-heart pigeon, Visayan spotted deer, Visayan hornbill and the Visayan warty pig.

## Description and taxonomy

EBird describes the bird as "A large rare bird of lowland and foothill forest on Panay and Negros, although almost extinct on the latter. Mostly black with a cream-colored tail with black terminal band, an orange casque, and a wrinkled lower bill. Male has a rufous head, a yellow pouch, and yellow around the eye. Female has a black neck and head, a smaller bill and casque, and blue and yellow around the eye and on the chin. The only other hornbill in range is the Visayan hornbill but the Writhe-billed is larger, with a pale bill. Voice includes a three-noted throaty chuckle.."

They exhibit sexual dimorphism with the males having a rufous head and yellow facial skin while the females having a black head and blue facial skin and a smaller bill.

Believed to form a closely related species group with the Wrinkled hornbill, Writhed hornbill and Knobbed hornbill.

Formerly considered conspecific with the Writhed hornbill but has clear differences in voice and plummage. Male Walden's hornbills are rufous red in comparison to the cream colored Writhed males. Walden's females have blue facial skin in comparison to the red of Writhed.

This species is monotypic.

## Habitat

It inhabits closed-canopy forests, also frequenting logged areas and occasionally isolated trees in clearings at an altitudinal range of 400 to 1,200 m Panay and 350 to 950 m in Negros. It prefers areas abundant fruit-bearing trees for feeding and large trees for nesting. They are known to live in small and noisy flocks. The Walden's hornbills are cavity nesters and use natural or carved-out hollows in tree trunks for its nest. As other hornbills, they reproduce very slowly. As lack of appropriate nesting sites is a problem, nest boxes are being attached to tree trunks in certain reserves.

## Ecology and behavior

**Diet**

They are primarily frugivorous eating figs and berries but they are also known to eat insects, lizards and other small animals. Usually encountered in small flocks but larger flocks of 25 to 30 birds have been sighted. It may make local nomadic movements in response to food availability.

**Breeding**

All hornbills are monogamous and mate for life.They are cavity nesters and rely on large dipterocarp trees for breeding. The female seals itself within the tree cavity and the male is in charge of gathering food for its mate and chicks. The male stores food in a gular pouch and regurgitates it to feed its mate and chicks. Cooperative breeding wherein immature birds from previous seasons help out in feeding the female and chick have not been observed with this species so far. Among Philippine hornbills, it has only been recorded with the Rufous hornbill.

Based on interviews with poachers, nests in May to July. Nests in large dipterocarp trees such as Shorea polysperma. Clutch size is typically 2 eggs but cases of 3 eggs documented.

## Conservation status

This is a critically endangered species, one of the three critically endangered hornbills including the Sulu hornbill and Helmeted hornbill. It is presumed extinct on Guimaras and now survives only on Negros and Panay The total population has been estimated at less than 160, though recent work from the Central Panay Mountain Range suggests 600-700 pairs may remain there. No recent figures are available for Negros, where it may be functionally extinct. The IUCN Red List estimates the population to be 1,000 to 2,499 mature individuals with the population continuing to decline.

Walden's hornbill reproduce very slowly and thus are unable to survive high hunting pressures coupled with heavy logging of the rainforests. By 2007, Negros and Panay had a 3% and 6% remaining forest cover with most of this being higher elevation forest where this bird does not thrive in. Despite already paltry forest cover, deforestation still continues thanks to both legal and illegal logging, conversion into farmland, mining and road development. As for the case of the Northwest Panay Peninsula Natural Park, a road was built splitting it from the Central Panay Mountain Range and has severely affected the population in the former as these roads allow for easier access by hunters and loggers.

Another huge threat is hunting and capture for the illegal wildlife trade. According to the Philippine Initiative for Environmental Conservation (Philincon), up to 50% of all nests in Central Panay Mountain Range were affected by poachers who would either climb up or cut down the nesting trees to poach the nestlings and the mother.

Due to this high poaching rate, Philincon has devised a nest guarding program where they pay locals US$20 a month to guard hornbill nests and offer an incentive of US$11 for each successful fledge. This program has been effective cutting down the poaching rate to just 5%. Philincon now guards more than 1,000 nest holes which is believed to be at least two-thirds of all nests in the Central Panay Mountain Range. In areas where their large nesting trees have been logged, Philincon installs nest boxes for these hornbills to breed in.

The bird is listed as an EDGE species by the Zoological Society of London where it is ranked as the 50th which uses the basis of evolutionary distinctness and endangeredness.

This bird was bred in captivity for the first time by the Mari-it Wildlife and Conservation Park in 2005. As of 2010, they have bred 15 Walden's hornbills. In 2019, The Talarak Foundation has also successfully bred them in captivity in their Negros facility after nine years of attempts.

Further conservation actions proposed are: more funding should be allocated primarily to in situ protection along the lines of PhilCon's guarding scheme; conduct further surveys, particularly on Panay to identify important sites and use this data to decide further actions; continue community awareness programmes to reduce hunting and illegal logging on both Negros and Panay; work in partnership at the government level to strengthen protected area legislation and improve the network in the long term; and support the development of captive breeding and reintroduction programmes.

# HMS Furieuse (1809)

***Furieuse*** was a 38-gun frigate of the French Navy. The Royal Navy captured her in 1809 and took her into service as the fifth rate **HMS *Furieuse***. She spent most of her British career in the Mediterranean Sea, though towards the end of the War of 1812 she served briefly on the North American station. She was laid up in 1815 and sold for breaking up in 1816.

## French career and capture

*Furieuse* was built at Cherbourg in 1795 to a design by Pierre-Alexandre Forfait. She began as a *Romaine*-class frigate but was completed as a *Seine*-class frigate.

By 1809 *Furieuse* was in the Caribbean, having come out with Admiral Amable Troude's expedition to the Caribbean. She escaped from Îles des Saintes on 1 April. She left Basse Terre 14 June, carrying sugar and coffee to France, and under the command of Lieutenant Gabriel-Étienne-Louis Le Marant Kerdaniel. She was capable of carrying 48 guns, but was armed en flûte, carrying only 20 at the time of her capture, 12 of which were carronades. She had a large crew, with 200 sailors, 40 soldiers and a detachment of troops from the 66th regiment of the line. On her voyage to France she came across a large English merchant vessel on 5 July. *Furieuse* was in the process of taking possession of the merchantman when the 20-gun sloop HMS *Bonne Citoyenne*, commanded by Commander William Mounsey, came upon the scene.

*Bonne Citoyenne* was returning to a convoy she was escorting in company with HMS *Inflexible*, under Captain Brown, but on seeing what was happening, Mounsey sailed to intervene. As *Bonne Citoyenne* approached, *Furieuse* abandoned her prize and began to flee northwards. Emboldened, Mounsey set off in pursuit; after an 18-hour chase *Bonne Citoyenne* had closed the range and brought *Furieuse* to battle.

The two ships exchanged broadsides for the next seven hours. *Bonne Citoyenne* was at a disadvantage early on. Not only was she much smaller, but three of her guns were quickly dismounted. She nevertheless fired 129 broadsides to the enemy's 70, with Mounsey alternating between the starboard and larboard sides as circumstances permitted. By the end of the battle *Bonne Citoyenne* had lost her top masts, her lower masts were badly damaged, and her rigging, sails and boats had been shot to pieces. Realizing that he was running out of powder, Mounsey decided to force the issue and prepared to board the French ship. Before he could do so, *Furieuse* surrendered and Mounsey took possession.

*Furieuse* had suffered heavy damage, with her masts shot away and five feet of water in the hold. She had also suffered 35 killed and 37 wounded. In contrast, *Bonne Citoyenne* had just one man killed and five wounded. Mounsey received a gold medal and promotion to post captain, back-dated to the day of the action, for his victory. Lieutenant Joseph Symes, first lieutenant of *Bonne Citoyenne*, received promotion to commander, effective two years after his having attained the rank of lieutenant, which had occurred on 13 March 1808. A number of other officers and crew also received promotions. In 1847 the Admiralty issued the Naval General Service Medal with clasp "Bonne Citoyenne Wh. Furieuse" to all surviving claimants from *Bonne Cityonne*.

## British career

*Bonne Citoyenne* towed *Furieuse* into Halifax, where both were repaired. The Royal Navy commissioned the captured frigate as HMS *Furieuse* and appointed John Simpson to sail her to Britain.

Captain Brown of *Inflexible* sued for the prize money for *Furieuse* to be shared by the two British warships. However, the Vice admiralty court in Halifax ruled that the prize belonged to *Bonne Citoyenne* alone, with the judgement being upheld by the Court of Appeal in 1811.

On her arrival *Furieuse* underwent a more thorough repair. After the repairs she was commissioned in November 1811 under William Mounsey.

*Furieuse* was initially employed in escorting a convoy to the Mediterranean, after which she joined the fleet blockading Toulon under Admiral Edward Pellew. The French fleet sailed out in May 1812, consisting of 12 sail of the line and seven frigates, of which one ship of the line and two frigates began to chase the British inshore squadron, consisting of *Furieuse*, the frigates HMS *Menelaus* and HMS *Havannah*, and the brig HMS *Pelorus*. The French gave up the chase when the British made clear their intention to fight.

On 9 November 1812 *Furieuse* captured the French privateer *Nebrophonus*, off Veutiliceo, after a chase of two hours. She was armed with four guns and had a crew of 54 men. She was 34 days out of Naples and had not made any captures. The day before she had escaped from *Imperieuse* and *Unite*. *Unite* was in sight when *Furieuse* captured *Nebrophonus*. On 24 November *Furieuse* captured the French schooner *Fortuna*. In October 1815 prize money was paid for *Nebrophonus* and *Fortuna*.

Then on 1 January 1813 *Fureuse* captured the privateer *Argus* off Montecristo. *Argus* was pierced for 12 guns but carried only four 12-pounders. She had a crew of 85 men and was eight days out of Leghorn without having captured anything.

In February 1813 Mounsey supported Charles John Napier in HMS *Thames* in the capture of the island of Ponza. They landed troops on 26 February, after passing through fire from shore batteries. Neither vessel, nor the troops they brought with them, suffered any casualties. The capture of the harbour provided an anchorage and fresh water for Royal Navy ships patrolling the coast.

On 7 May boats from *Furieuse* captured the French xebec *Conception* of two 6-pounder guns. The boats cut her out from under the tower and batteries of Orbisello and towed her out to sea under heavy fire. *Fureiuse* lost four men wounded in this operation.

On 4 October a convoy was sighted in the bay of Santa Marinella, a few miles east of Civitavecchia. Although two gunboats and a shore battery of two long 24-pounder guns protected the convoy, Mounsey decided to launch a cutting out expedition. *Furieuse* landed her marines who, together with the boat crews, stormed and captured a fort while *Furieuse* used her guns to provide covering fire. The enemy retreated to a nearby castle and continued to pour small arms fire on the landing party. Still, the British captured 156 vessels, three of which were armed: the gunboat *Bacchus* (one long brass 24-pounder gun and four swivel guns), an unknown gunboat, and the xebec *St Antonio* (pierced for 12 guns with two long 6-pounders mounted). The British sank two of the armed vessels, brought out one, as well as 13 settees carrying salt, tobacco, marble, and sundries. *Furieuse* kept up a steady fire, preventing reinforcements from Civitavecchia from intervening. The landing party lost two men killed and 10 wounded in the operation. *Bacchus* was under the command of *maître d'équipage de lè" classe* Sacco.

For the rest of 1813 *Furieuse* formed part of Admiral Sir Josias Rowley's squadron. She was present at the capture of Viareggio and the unsuccessful assault on Livorno in December. In early March 1814, still with Rowley, *Furieuse* assisted in the occupation of La Spezia and the surrounding areas.

On 17 April a squadron consisting of *Furieuse*, HMS *Aboukir*, HMS *Iphigenia*, HMS *Swallow* and HMS *Cephalus*, among many others, including the Sicilian flotilla, and under the command of Vice-Admiral Pellew, supported the successful assault on Genoa.

The end of the War of the Sixth Coalition in 1814 saw *Furieuse* sailing from Gibraltar to Bermuda with Captain Andrew King's squadron, escorting a fleet of transports. Later she conveyed the 62nd regiment to Halifax. At the end of the War of 1812 she remained in the area to assist the British troops who had fortified the Castine Peninsula.

## Fate

HMS *Furieuse* was paid off in autumn 1815. She was sold for breaking up in October 1816 at Deptford.

title: HD 49798

abstract: HD 49798 is a binary star in the constellation Puppis about 650 parsecs from Earth. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.3, making it one of the brightest known O class subdwarf stars. HD 49798 was discovered in 1964 to be a rare hydrogen-deficient O class subdwarf, and was the brightest known at the time. This was identified as a binary star, but the companion could not be detected visually or spectroscopically. The X-ray source RX J0648.0-4418 was discovered close to HD 49798's location in the sky. Only the space telescope XMM-Newton was able to identify the source. It is a white dwarf with about 1.3 solar masses, in orbit about HD 49798 and rotating once every 13 seconds. This is detected from the 13-second X-ray pulse, which results from the stellar wind accreting onto the compact object. It has been proposed that the white dwarf is surrounded by a debris disk. In this model, the material of the disk would be funneled onto the poles of the dwarf via the magnetic field, which would explain the observed X-ray pulses. This system is considered a likely candidate to explode as a type Ia supernova within a few thousand years.

Parallax measurements place the object at a distance of 456 light years; it is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 20.6 km/s. The stellar classification of HD 49268 is K1 III CNII, indicating that it is an ageing red giant with a strong over-abundance of cyano radical in its stellar atmosphere. It has 136% the mass of the Sun but expanded to 10.77 times its girth. It is radiating 60 times the luminosity of the Sun from its enlarged photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,660 K, giving it an orange hue. HD 49268 is slightly metal enriched with an iron abundance 117% that of the Sun and is believed to be a member of the thick disk population. It spins leisurely with a projected rotational velocity that is lower than 1.6 km/s. HD 49268 has two faint companions listed in the Washington Double Star Catalogue: a tenth magnitude star 17″ away; and a 13th magnitude star 65″ away. Both are unrelated background stars.

title: Walter Murton

abstract: Walter Murton was a British art director, who worked from the 1920s until the 1940s. During his early career in the 1920s Murton was the regular set designer on the silent film series The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu. Along with Clifford Pember, Murton was identified as part of an "old guard" resisting change in British set design sought by younger set designers and by German immigrants. During his later career Murton worked for Gainsborough Pictures. His final film was the influential Gainsborough Melodrama The Man in Grey (1943). His son Peter Murton was also an art director.

# Namezu Station

**Namezu Station** (滑津駅, *Namezu-eki*) is a train station in the city of Saku, Nagano, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

## Lines

Namezu Station is served by the Koumi Line and is 66.5 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Kobuchizawa Station.

## Station layout

The station consists of one ground-level side platform serving a single bi-directional track. The platform is short, and can only accommodate trains of two carriages in length, therefore a door cut system is used. The station is unattended.

## History

Namezu Station opened on 6 June 1916. The station was out of operation from 1944 through 1952. With the dissolution and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

title: HMAS Una

abstract: HMAS Una was a Royal Australian Navy sloop that began its life as the German motor launch Komet. The ship and her 57 crew was captured by an infantry detachment of the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force led by John Paton on 9 October 1914, with no loss of life. Komet was then sailed to Sydney as a prize. During the time in which Una was in service under Australia, the sloop was used as a patrol and general purpose vessel. The sloop was used to patrol the areas of New Guinea, New Britain, New Hebrides and Malayan waters. In December 1918, Una was sent to Darwin to protect Administrator John Gilruth, following the Darwin Rebellion. She arrived on Christmas Eve, anchoring beneath the Government House cliffs until HMAS Encounter arrived in early 1919. After World War I, Una was decommissioned and taken to Port Phillip Bay, renamed Akuna and used as a pilot vessel. She was finally broken up in Melbourne in 1955.
