## Plot

Ram and Shyam are best friends who are deep in debt and absconding from moneylenders. Saroja, the daughter of multimillionaire Rao Saheb Hemachalapathi, admires Shyam who reciprocates. Aware of it, Rao Saheb gives Shyam a copious amount of ₹1 lakh and asks him to spend it within 30 days, but warns him not to donate or destroy it. Shyam starts the process with the help of Ram in various means, i.e., racing, gambling, drama, constructing a house, etc. Their income increases at every level, which annoys Shyam. Ultimately, he returns Rao Saheb's wealth. Rao Saheb affirms that the task was to study his character and that he should perceive the fruitlessness of treacherous money. The film ends with the marriage of Shyam and Saroja.

## Cast

## Release and reception

*Vaddante Dabbu* was released on 19 February 1954, and *Panam Padathum Padu* was released on 4 March 1954. Regarding the Telugu version, a critic from *Zamin Ryot* wrote that there is no need to be poor with the knowledge of the world, but Shyam is portrayed as a dunce. This flaw in the main character makes the entire film look flawed and concluded that throughout the film, Swamy tickles the audience's funny bone. Despite originally opening to a mixed response, the Telugu version attained cult status, and was remade in the same language as *Babai Abbai* (1985).

title: Gibson's law

abstract:
In public relations,
and in the practice of law, Gibson's law holds that "For every PhD there is an equal and opposite PhD."
The term specifically refers to the conflict between testimony of expert witnesses called by opposing parties in a trial under an adversarial system of justice.
It is also applied to conflicting scientific opinion injected into policy decisions by interested parties creating a controversy to promote their interests. An early mention of "Gibson's Rule" comes from Ivan Preston who wrote "The problem of having opposing sides present opposite pictures of the consumer and of the research process was nicely distilled in a statement made by Fletcher Waller while representing General Mills in the children’s rulemaking. Waller quoted what he called Gibson’s Rule,
which is that for every Ph.D. there is an equal and opposite Ph.D."

# Walter Plinge

**Walter Plinge** is a pseudonym, used in British theatres since the 19th century on occasions when it is not possible or desirable to make an actor's real name known.

## Name and usage

Walter Plinge is a pseudonym traditionally used in British theatres when a part has not been cast, an actor is playing two parts, or an actor does not want their name in the programme. The name has also been used in radio and television credits. *Who's Who in the Theatre* has this entry for the name:

> "**Plinge, Walter**", actor; was discovered by the late H. O. Nicholson and first appeared with F. R. Benson's Shakespearean Company about 1898; was well-known in connection with minor parts in most of the plays of the extensive Benson repertory, and occasionally in other companies. Is related to "Mr. Bart" and "Mr. F. Anney" of the Benson Company, to "George Spelvin" (USA) and "A. N. Other" (Sport).

In 1939 Alfred Wareing, a former member of Benson's company, wrote in *The Stage* that the real Walter Plinge had been the landlord of the public house in Wellington Street near the stage door of the Lyceum Theatre, London. Wareing recalled that Plinge was not entirely pleased at having his name used by Benson, particularly as the company already had other pseudonyms in use when needed. These included "R. Sherard" and "T. Ashman" – the latter used by among others Oscar Asche when doubling roles, although in Asche's case, according to Wareing, the false name "never deceived the knowing public". Another former Bensonian recalled the pseudonym "Hugh S. Hay" being used when the American actor Walter Hampden was in the company. The actor-manager Murray Carrington recalled that in the 1920s his company had featured not only Walter Plinge Jr. but also a female counterpart, Juliet Plinge.

The name Walter Plinge has been used occasionally in American theatre, where the more usual equivalent is "George Spelvin". Analogous pseudonyms – for writers rather than actors – are Alan Smithee in Hollywood and David Agnew at the BBC. From its earliest years the BBC has used "Walter Plinge" in its listings of acting roles, and "he" is the corporation's longest-serving broadcaster, having made his first broadcast in 1925, with subsequent appearances up to 2018.

Walter Plinge is also used as the name of a character in Terry Pratchett's novel *Maskerade*, which is a parody of opera and musical theatre. The character is an amalgam of two parts played by Michael Crawford: Frank Spencer and the Phantom of the Opera.

# International Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures

The **International Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures** was a world's fair held in Dublin, Ireland in 1865 attended by almost 1 million visitors.

## Site and buildings

### Main site

In 1862 the Duke of Leinster, Lord Talbot de Malahide and Benjamin Guinness created a Dublin Exhibition Palace and Winter Garden company to establish a Dublin exposition, the first in Dublin since the Great Industrial Exhibition (1853). Guinness supplied the Coburg Gardens, a 15-acre site to the company, which lay between Hatch Street, Harcourt Street and Earlsfort Terrace; and they additionally leased 2 more acres for exhibition grounds.

In 1862 the company called for designs at a cost of £35,000 or less. None of the submitted plans came within this cost constraint, but plans from Alfred G Jones were accepted with the proviso that they were revised. In the final design there were three buildings: a brick and stone building, a stone building with iron roof and an iron and glass building, the latter influenced by The Crystal Palace.

The foundations were started in 1863.

### Auxiliary site

In addition to the main site and gardens; vegetable, seeds, and farm implements were displayed at the Royal Dublin Society buildings (now Archaeology and Natural History Museum buildings) in Kildare Street.

## The fair

The iron and glass building was stress tested by 600 soldiers marching along the galleries on 31 March 1865 and the exhibition opened by the then Prince of Wales on either 9 May or 8 May, 1865.

The fair attracted 956,000 visitors with averages of 5,000 day visitors, and 3,000 evening visitors

Displays of fine arts, textiles, manufactured goods and raw materials occupied 4,781 display cases (2,413 British Isles, 2,368 foreign countries, cities and colonies).

## Aftermath

After 1911, the building that lay along Earlsfort Terrace and the winter gardens became part of one of the city's university and later the building became the National Concert Hall with the winter gardens forming the Iveagh Gardens. A rustic grotto and some statues remain in Iveagh Gardens.

# Roxrite

**Omar "RoxRite" Delgado Macias** (born April 6, 1982) is a competitive b-boy from Windsor, California. As of March 2018, he has won 100 titles including the UK B-Boy Championships (2005), R16 (2009), Red Bull BC One (2011) and Freestyle Session (2009, 2013, and 2014).

## Life

RoxRite was born in Guadalajara, Mexico and raised in Windsor, California. His family moved to the United States when he was six years old, but he wasn't introduced to breaking until he was 12. Although he was born in Mexico, RoxRite represents the U.S. in competition because the U.S. is where he was raised and where he learned breaking. He won his first international b-boy title in France in 2003.

His style of b-boying led to the name 'Roxrite,' a term referring to how he always *rocked right* (i.e. danced the right way). Roxrite is one of three dancers from the US to have claimed the Red Bull BC One title.

RoxRite appeared in a documentary about breaking called *Turn It Loose* (2010) and in two seasons of the Red Bull-produced online reality series *Break'n Reality* (2012 and 2014). In 2013, he was on the selection committee for the B-Boy Scholarship Fund sponsored by TheBBoySpot.com. In 2015, he co-directed an online series with b-boy Ali "Lilou" Ramdani called *Crew Code*. He is a member of four b-boy crews: Renegades, Squadron, Break Disciples, and Red Bull BC One All-Stars.

# USS Melville (AD-2)

**USS *Melville* (AD-2)** was a United States Navy destroyer tender that saw service in both World Wars. Laid down by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation of Camden, New Jersey, on 11 November 1913, she was launched on 2 March 1913, sponsored by Miss Helen W. Neel, granddaughter of Rear Admiral George W. Melville; and was first commissioned on 3 December 1915, Comdr. Henry Bertram Price in command.

## Service history

### World War I

Assigned to the Atlantic Fleet, *Melville* reported to Newport, in January 1916. On 11 May 1917, a month after the United States entered World War I, the destroyer tender got underway for Queenstown, Ireland, arriving on the 22nd. She carried out repair and support operations and served as flagship for Vice Admiral William Sims, Commander of U.S. Naval Forces in European waters, from 10 September-4 January 1919.

*Melville* departed Southampton, England, on 7 January 1919 with troops embarked for the east coast, arriving at New York on the 26th. She then operated at Newport and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba until 30 April, when she departed Tompkinsville, N.Y., for the Azores. There she prepared flying boat *NC-4* for the final leg of her long transatlantic journey from New York to Europe and embarked crippled *NC-3* for return to the east coast, reaching New York on 10 June.

### Inter-war period

Reassigned to the Pacific Fleet, the destroyer tender stood out from Hampton Roads, Virginia, on 19 July for the west coast. En route one of her boilers exploded injuring six men, five of them fatally. The collier *Orion* took her in tow for repairs at Balboa, Panama Canal Zone. On 31 October she arrived at her new home port, San Diego, California, for service along the west coast, alternating with training and fleet exercises in the Caribbean and off Hawaii for the next 21 years.

### World War II

With the threat of American involvement in World War II, *Melville* steamed from the Caribbean for the east coast in November 1940. She arrived at Norfolk on 9 December for operations with the Patrol Force, U.S. Fleet, and was transferred back to the Atlantic Fleet on 1 February 1941. Following intensive training at Guantanamo Bay and Culebra, Puerto Rico, and three weeks of supply duties at Casco Bay, Maine, *Melville* continued on to Bermuda by 16 September to service neutrality patrol ships until returning to Norfolk on 28 November.

*Melville* got underway on 12 January 1942 for Europe, reaching Derry, Northern Ireland on 31 January to begin tending escort ships of Allied convoys crossing the submarine infested Atlantic. In the next two years, she also based at Hvalfjörður, Iceland; Recife, Brazil; and Rosneath naval base in Scotland, as well as Newport and Casco Bay, while continuing support services for warships ranging from battleships to landing craft and minesweepers.

On 1 May 1944, *Melville* sailed from Rosneath for Portland, England to begin the massive task of preparing the Allied minesweepers and landing craft for the Normandy Landings of 6 June. For the next year, she was busy maintaining and repairing landing craft for the Allied push toward Germany.

The destroyer tender was at Portland when Germany surrendered on 7 May 1945. *Melville* continued her support duties, now servicing the amphibious craft for final operations in the Pacific theater.

On 7 July, *Melville* steamed for New York arriving the 20th to ready for assignment to the central Pacific. After Japan capitulated on 15 August, she sailed on 1 October for Jacksonville, Florida, where she assisted in the inactivation of escort ships.

She got underway from Jacksonville on 13 July 1946 for Norfolk. *Melville* decommissioned there on 9 August, was struck from the Navy List on 23 April 1947, and was turned over to the Maritime Commission on 30 March 1948. On 19 August 1948 she was sold to Patapsco Scrap Corp., of Baltimore, Maryland, for scrapping.

# Mbole people

The **Mbole people** are an ethnic group of about 150,000 people living in the Orientale Province, southwest of Kisangani in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Mbole were previously referred to as Bambole.

## Origins

The Mbole language belongs to the Mongo group of Bantu languages. The Mbole culture is close to that of the Mongo people and related to those of the Yela and Pere peoples. They live in the equatorial forest on both sides of the Lomami River. They once lived to the north of the Congo River. They crossed this river upstream from the point where the Lomami joins the Congo, near present-day Basoko, and then moved south to their present location. They split into five smaller groups in the 18th century due to pressure from the Bombesa people.

During the colonial era of the Belgian Congo, the Mbole were active in attacking the colonial factories in Lokilo. They called the Belgians *atama-atama*, or slave traders, and made no distinction between the Belgians and the earlier Arab slave traders. The Lomami Company forced the Mbole to collect large amounts of rubber. They vividly described their view of the effect of this work with the phrase *wando wo limolo*, meaning "tax-caused loss of weight".

## Economy and Agriculture

The Mbole rely primarily on agriculture. They also gather, fish, and hunt for food. The gathering of nuts is done by men. The Mbole women grow manioc, bananas and rice and raise ducks, chickens and goats. The men hunt or trap game, and use nets to catch fish in the river. Local weavers and blacksmiths provide most of artifacts needed for daily life. Both men and women practice weaving, men making fish traps and wall and roof mats, and women making sleeping mats, small rectangular mats and baskets. They also produce palm oil which is handled by women in the society.

Men typically move to their wife's village on marriage. Villages are headed by a chief who has reached a senior position in the Lilwa society, which educates young men and some women and conducts initiation ceremonies. A group of villages may elect an area chief to represent them in a matter of shared concern, but villages are otherwise autonomous.

The Mbole practice metal-work, wood-work, wicker-work, weaving of raffia, and carving of ivory. Blacksmiths produce tools and weapons such as knives, as well as armbands and ankle bands. Items that are made out of wood consist of statues, masks, stools, shields, and musical instruments such as drums. The Mbole weave raffia as a form of fabric. Baskets, shields and mats are made out of wicker. They use ivory and horns for the production of aerophones.

## Culture

The Mbole can be subdivided into families or clans. Smaller clans are called *lentono* and the head of the clan is called a **wilangi*.* A major lineage is called a **okenge** and the head of these are called *ise l'okenge.* A clan or family can be as large as several villages or as small as just one village.

The Lilwa society teaches both morality and religion. Women and elders, both living and dead, are to be respected. Theft, adultery and lying are prohibited. A person who breaks the law is subject to public reprimand and may suffer further punishment. In the most severe cases the wrong-doer is hung and buried in an unmarked grave. Mbole wooden carvings often represent these individuals with sunken faces, concave torsos and ropes around their necks. One example of a crime punishable by death is that of revealing the secrets of initiation. The image serves as an example of what will happen to the person who breaks the laws.

The Lilwa society has four levels. The highest are the Isoya, the religious leaders. The wives of the Isoya are usually initiated into the Lilwa society and wield considerable power. When an Isoya dies he is buried in a tree and his house is left empty as a reminder that he is still present in the community. The Mbole make wooden figures that are used in healing ceremonies or that represent ancestors. They also make elaborate mats, and make brass bracelets of great beauty.

## Religion

Mbole believe in a great God or creator that is believed to be Mongo. However, is seldom mentioned or honored. Spirits are an important aspect of Mbole religion, they believe in good and bad spirits. There isn't much worship of ancestral spirits besides honoring them during funeral ceremonies and a few weeks afterwards. This is so that the soul of the deceased can rest and find peace. They do believe that spirits of ancestors are reborn with their previous characteristics.

The Mbole believe witchcraft and dark magic to be the cause of illness and disasters. They believe that witchcraft can be found in a specific organ called *liloka* which enables a person to kill or do harm. People protect themselves from witches by mixing the crushed bark from a tree along with other ingredients into a horn that is either hung or buried in front of a residence.

The Mbole also believe that if an individual has a lock of hair or cloth belonging to someone else they can cause illness or pain to that person through their belongings.

## Lilwa Society

The Mbole have a secret society of men called *lilwa* or *lilwakoy*. The *lilwa* controls society by punishing those who go against norms or laws that are put in place by the *lilwa*. *Lilwa* is necessary for all men of Mbole to be a part of. There are no women except for a few occasions where high ranking individuals in *lilwa* society appoint their daughters to be a part of *lilwa*. *Lilwa* consists of four hierarchical classes which can be obtained through initiations.

The lowest class is *likomela* which all men become a part of through initiation. Some men stay in this class their whole lives instead of progressing. Initiation into the likomela class begins when a young male is considered socially mature.

Initiation takes place in *liala li kumi* which is a location outside of the village, inside of the forest, and near a river. This is also the location that ritual gatherings of the *lilwa* take place. The forest is cleared out for this space and includes shelter where the initiates stay for two weeks before they are initiated. During initiation, all *lilwa* members and initiates are present in the *liala* *li* *kumi* and are completely nude. When the candidates enter *liala* *li* *kumi* they must go through several tortures which could include things such as whippings or beatings, and getting pepper on their bodies. Once they have endured this they are led to the top of a termite mound where they are given a banana stalk with the hole in the center and told it is a woman they are to sleep with. Then a plant infusion is poured into the initiate's eyes which creates a burning sensation. This is alleviated by another plant infusion. This process is symbolic of opening eyes to the secrets of *lilwa*.

Initiation rites are concluded by festivities that include eating, drinking, and dancing. All members of *lilwa* participate in this. After initiation, new members stay in the *liala li kumi* for two weeks where they are taught customs in the form of stories. They focus on ideas that are central to *lilwa* society such as not killing without reason, not taking another man's wife, not to steal, respect for tradition and elders, and the importance of keeping secrets of *lilwa* and the punishment that would be inflicted on traitors.

The second class of men consists of men that specialize in ritual functions for *lilwa* such as singers, sculptors, blacksmiths, ritual assistants, *onanga a lilwa* who are responsible for initiation rites and instruction of newly initiated men, and *ikoni koy* who are executioners that put criminals to death by hanging.

The third class of *lilwa* society consists of *Kanda* who are therapists. They can detect and remove illnesses, assist governing groups, and settle disputes.

The highest order of *lilwa* society is called *Yeni*. In order to reach this position one must give great offerings to officiates such as chicken, goats, and smoked meat that is compensation for ritual services. They must also offer one of their children to be hanged in great secrecy. After their death, a sculptor will carve a wooden statue of the victim.

A *Yeni* has the ability to initiate his daughter into *lilwa* society. In order to do this, they must offer goods to the **wilangi**. After the daughter has passed through initiation rites she has earned the title of **lumongo** and is considered a male. At this point the **wilangi** gives the **lumongo** red and white powder to be used for skincare, leopard teeth to be worn as a necklace, a staff that represents male genitals and her status as a male, and a female servant called an *opika* that assists her in trips to *lilwa* rites. The **lumongo** is then a part of the *Yeni*, the highest class, and can only be married to other *Yeni*.

## Statues

Mbole statues are generally characterized as anthropomorphic figures. There are hanging and standing variations. They mostly consist of males, although there are some that are female. The height of these statues range from 20-120 centimeters. The height corresponds to quality, the larger figures are much more detailed, while the smaller figures consist of more simplistic and generalized shapes. The majority are decorated by white or yellow paint on the face and torso. Sometimes there will be a stripe of paint in a line from the neck to the genitals. Red pigment is sometimes applied to the headdress or on the legs from the knees down to the feet. The head is more carefully finished than the rest of the body.

There are a total of 89 statues that can be traced back to Mbole. They can be subdivided into four groups based on the headdresses. The first group consists of the most detailed figures and they have a large semicircle headdress with an upright ridge that runs across the top of the head. The second category of statues are those with a circular headdress which can vary from a crown-like shape to semi-spherical to a funnel shape. The third group contains figures with rectangular or trapezoidal headdresses. The fourth category is made up of figures that do not conform to the rest of Mbole work.

The figures represented are often executed criminals. Statues can also be ritual victims. They are not individualized portraits of the people but are generalized abstractions of particular individuals. They sometimes even carry the name of the individual. They act as a symbol of the fate of traitors and law-breakers and serve as a warning to others. The collection of statues are hidden in the forest where only the **wilangi** knows the location.

## Masks

Mbole masks are rare because they are only used during circumcision ceremonies in the lilwa society. They are generally oval shaped and covered in pigment. The features suggest a human face.

title: Heathfield Hall

abstract: Heathfield Hall was a house in Handsworth, Staffordshire, England, built for the engineer James Watt. In 1790, Watt's business partner Matthew Boulton recommended to Watt his friend, the architect Samuel Wyatt, who had designed Boulton's home, Soho House, in 1789. Watt commissioned Wyatt to design Heathfield Hall. Watt died in the house in 1819, and was buried at nearby St Mary's Church. His garret workshop was then sealed, and few people were ever allowed to visit it. The contents - over 8,300 objects, including the furniture, window, door and floorboards - were removed in 1924 and used to recreate the room at the Science Museum in London, where they may still be viewed. After a series of subsequent owners who had slowly sold off the associated lands for development of semi-detached villas, in the 1880s engineer George Tangye bought Heathfield Hall. He lived in the house until his death in 1920. After his family sold the house, from 1927 the hall was demolished and the lands redeveloped. What was the Heathfield Estate is now the land that comprises West Drive and North Drive in Handsworth, developed in the 1930s with a number of arts and crafts and moderne-style houses.

title: USS Melvin (DD-335)

# USS Melvin (DD-335)

**USS *Melvin* (DD-335)** was a *Clemson*-class destroyer in service with the United States Navy from 1921 to 1930. She was scrapped in 1931.

## Description

The *Clemson* class was a repeat of the preceding *Wickes* class although more fuel capacity was added. The ships displaced 1,290 long tons (1,311 t) at standard load and 1,389 long tons (1,411 t) at deep load. They had an overall length of 314 feet 4 inches (95.8 m), a beam of 30 feet 11 inches (9.4 m) and a draught of 10 feet 3 inches (3.1 m). They had a crew of 6 officers and 108 enlisted men.

Performance differed radically between the ships of the class, often due to poor workmanship. The *Clemson* class was powered by two steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, using steam provided by four water-tube boilers. The turbines were designed to produce a total of 27,000 shaft horsepower (20,000 kW) intended to reach a speed of 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph). The ships carried a maximum of 371 long tons (377 t) of fuel oil which was intended gave them a range of 2,500 nautical miles (4,600 km; 2,900 mi) at 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph).

The ships were armed with four 4-inch (102 mm) guns in single mounts and were fitted with two 1-pounder guns for anti-aircraft defense. In many ships a shortage of 1-pounders caused them to be replaced by 3-inch (76 mm) guns. Their primary weapon, though, was their torpedo battery of a dozen 21 inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes in four triple mounts. They also carried a pair of depth charge rails. A "Y-gun" depth charge thrower was added to many ships.

## Construction and career

*Melvin*, named for Lieutenant (junior grade) John T. Melvin, was laid down 15 September 1920 at the Union Plant, Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation, San Francisco, California; launched 11 April 1921; sponsored by Miss Laura L. McKinistry; and commissioned 31 May 1921. Following a brief shakedown, *Melvin* began operations off the west coast, which was to be her primary cruising area for her entire career, with a round-trip voyage to San Diego, California. During her 9 years in commission *Melvin* thrice transited the Panama Canal for Caribbean-based fleet problems, 1923, 1924, and 1927. Following such operations in the latter year, she cruised north to New York City and Newport, Rhode Island before sailing for Nicaragua. Arriving in the Bluefields area 25 June, she remained until 6 July to lend support, if needed, to marines then charged with supervising the establishment of the Nicaraguan Guardia Nacional and maintaining an uneasy truce. Exercises and type training in Hawaiian waters also interrupted her west coast operations and, subsequent to such maneuvers in the spring of 1925, she completed her only roundtrip cruise across the Pacific, a good will tour which took her to Samoa, Australia, and New Zealand.

On 17 July 1929, *Melvin* entered the Navy yard at Mare Island, San Francisco, to begin inactivation. On 7 October, in tow of *Tern*, she headed south on her last voyage to San Diego. Arriving on the 11th, she decommissioned 8 May 1930 and on the 10th was towed back to Mare Island for scrapping. Struck from the Naval Vessel Register 3 November 1930, her materials were sold in the course of the next 2 years.

title: International Annealed Copper Standard

abstract: The International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS) is a standard established in 1914 by the United States Department of Commerce. It is an empirically derived standard value for the electrical conductivity of commercially available copper. Sometime around 1913 several copper samples from 14 important refiners and wire manufacturers were analyzed by the U.S. Bureau of Standards. The average resistance of the samples was determined to be 0.15292 Ω for copper wires with a mass of 1 gram of uniform cross section and 1 meter in length at 20 °C. In the United States this is usually written as "0.15292 ohm at 20 °C". Germany proposed a slight modification of this value to "0.15328 ohm at 20 °C", this being equivalent to a conductivity of exactly 58×10⁶ S/m at 20 °C. The German modification was adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission in 1913 and subsequently published by the United States Department of Commerce on October 1, 1914 as the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS). The standard is most often used as a comparative property in the specification of the conductivity of other metals. For example, the conductivity of a particular grade of titanium may be specified as 1.2 % IACS, meaning that its electrical conductivity is 1.2 % of the copper specified as the IACS standard. The standard can be found at https://archive.org/stream/copperwiretables31unituoft#page/n0/mode/1up.

The **International Annealed Copper Standard** (**IACS**) is a standard established in 1914 by the United States Department of Commerce. It is an empirically derived standard value for the electrical conductivity of commercially available copper.

Sometime around 1913 several copper samples from 14 important refiners and wire manufacturers were analyzed by the U.S. Bureau of Standards. The average resistance of the samples was determined to be 0.15292  for copper wires with a mass of 1 gram of uniform cross section and 1 meter in length at 20 °C. In the United States this is usually written as "0.15292 ohm (meter, gram) at 20 °C".

Germany proposed a slight modification of this value to "0.15328 ohm (meter, gram) at 20 °C", this being equivalent to a conductivity of exactly 58×106 /m at 20 °C. The German modification was adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission in 1913 and subsequently published by the United States Department of Commerce on October 1, 1914 as the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS).

The standard is most often used as a comparative property in the specification of the conductivity of other metals. For example, the conductivity of a particular grade of titanium may be specified as 1.2 % IACS, meaning that its electrical conductivity is 1.2 % of the copper specified as the IACS standard.

## Quality of aluminum alloys

Heat treatment will alter several properties of an alloy, many of which are important to a design engineer. A measurement of the electric conductivity of aluminum alloys can be used to verify that a heat treatment process has been done correctly. For example a component made of "7075" alloy which was correctly treated with the process "T73" to gain resistance to stress corrosion cracking will fall in the range of 38.0 to 43.0 % IACS.

The acceptance criteria for electrical conductivity of finished or semi-finished parts of wrought aluminum alloys are contained in SAE International specification AMS2658 Hardness and Conductivity Inspection of Wrought Aluminum Alloy Parts. Here the values are given in reference to the IACS.

A method for measuring electrical conductivity is described in ASTM International specification ASTM E 1004 Electromagnetic (Eddy-Current) Measurements of Electrical Conductivity. Electrical conductivity meters with direct readout in %IACS are commercially available.

# Roy McDonough

**Roy McDonough** (born 16 October 1958) is an English former professional football player and manager in the English Football League.

## Playing career

Roy McDonough was born in Solihull, he was one of four brothers and a twin to Gaz McDonough. He came from a sporting family, and had an uncle Fred Harris, who captained Birmingham City. His father, James, played for Bath City and owned a dress shop. His mother, Iris, ran a boutique. McDonough signed schoolboy forms with Aston Villa, along with his twin, after becoming top-scorer for the Birmingham schools and Warwickshire county school teams. However, in March 1975, at the age of 16, he was handed a six-month suspension from competitive football for throttling a referee in the final of the Birmingham Schools Cup. He was not offered professional terms by manager Ron Saunders.

He used his family connections to win a trial at First Division club Birmingham City, and was signed to an 18-month apprenticeship after he scored four goals in two trial games. He went on to sign professional forms with the club, and made his debut in the Football League in a 1–0 defeat to Sunderland at Roker Park on 7 May 1977.

He went on to Colchester to make some 88 appearances, scoring 24 goals in his first spell at Layer Road before moving to local rivals Southend United in 1983. In 22 appearances for the "Shrimpers" between 1984 and 1985 he scored 4 times.

Between 1985 and 1986 McDonough moved first to Exeter City (21 appearances, 1 goal) and then Cambridge United (32 appearances, 5 goals) before returning to Roots Hall and Southend. In his second spell at Southend, he became to some fans a cult hero. In around 186 appearances he scored 30 times, however certain sections of the crowd were not always enamoured with his playing style.

In September 1990 he returned to Colchester United, who had been relegated to the Football Conference, as a player. In his second season, he top scored with 29 goals in a Conference and FA Trophy Double-winning campaign as player-manager, before making another 63 Football League appearances and scoring 16 times. He was sacked as manager in 1994 and joined Dagenham & Redbridge, moving on to Chelmsford City, where he made three league appearances, amongst others.

## Managerial career

Roy took the managerial position at Colchester United for the 1991–92 season, following Ian Atkins' departure in the Summer of 1991 and achieved legendary status at the North Essex club by guiding them to a Football Conference and FA Trophy 'double', promoting them back into the full Football League.

During his period in charge, McDonough stoked the bitter rivalry with Martin O'Neill's Wycombe Wanderers that had developed during both clubs' time in non-league's 'top flight', culminating in the dramatic promotion season of 1991–92 when Colchester advanced into Division Four on the last day via a superior goal difference. While Wycombe and Colchester played out a mini-league of their own (both clubs finished some 21 points ahead of their nearest rivals) Big Roy had on occasions taunted the Wycombe players and staff and antagonised them by un-sportsmanlike tactics.

Commenting on an incident where Colchester United hooligans attacked home supporters during a Conference championship deciding match in 1992 at Adams Park, he was quoted as saying, "*It takes two to fight, one to punch, the other to stand there and be punched.*"

Arguably it was his confrontational style, carried over from his playing days, that ultimately saw him leave Colchester and move through the non-league ranks with Dagenham & Redbridge, Chelmsford City, Canvey Island, Heybridge Swifts, Bishop's Stortford, Braintree Town and Harwich and Parkeston amongst others.

## Style of play

A tall, imposing forward (though he played as an orthodox centre-half on a number of occasions) he had a reputation as one of football's "hard men" and rarely shied away from the physical aspects of the game. As a result, he is the record holder for the most dismissals in a career, 22, and for red cards in the Football League, 13, an unenviable mark that he holds jointly with Steve Walsh.

## Later life

In August 2012 he published his autobiography, *Red Card Roy*, which was ghost-written by Bernie Friend.

**Mississippi Highway 37** (**MS 37**) is a state highway in central Mississippi. The route starts at U.S. Route 84 (US 84) near Collins. The road travels northward through the town of Taylorsville, crossing from Covington County to Smith County. MS 37 turns northwestward and ends at MS 35 in Raleigh. The road first existed as part of MS 35, and it became a spur route of MS 35 by 1941. It was renumbered as MS 37 by 1950, and fully paved by 1952.

## Route description

The route is located in northeastern Covington and southern Smith counties. MS 37 is legally defined in Mississippi Code § 65-3-3, and all of it is maintained by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), as part of the Mississippi State Highway System.

MS 37 starts at the three-way junction with US 84 east of Collins in Covington County, and it travels northward through a forested area. The road turns northeastward at Hopewell School Road before traveling north past S.B. Barnes Lane. It intersects MS 532 in the unincorporated area of Hot Coffee, and it crosses Oakohay Creek north of Calhoun Church Road. The road enters Smith County after intersecting Drive-In Lane. MS 37 intersects County Road 19 (CO 19) and crosses Lyon Creek. South of Old Gilmer Road, the route enters the city limits of Taylorsville. MS 37, known as Pine Street inside the town, travels north through the residential area and intersects MS 28 at Mayfield Street and Comfort Street. Pine Street ends at its intersection with MS 28, and MS 37 continues northward along Welcome Street. The route turns northwestward at Magnolia Drive and leaves the city limits. The road re-enters the forest, and crosses Fisher Creek near CO 72. MS 37 turns north at CO 89, and intersects CO 80-W at Center Ridge. The route then turns westward at CO 37-3 and enters the city limits of Raleigh. MS 37 ends at MS 35, and the road continues as CO 77.

## History

| Mississippi Highway 35E | |
| --- | --- |
|  | |
| Location | Collins \- Raleigh |
| Existed | 1941–1950 |

A road has existed from Collins to Raleigh since 1928, with gravel layered between Collins and Taylorsville. All of the road was layered with gravel by 1932, and it became part of MS 35. By 1941, the road was renumbered to **MS 35E**, as a new road from Mount Olive to Raleigh was designated as MS 35W. MS 35E was also realigned onto a paved road that started at US 84 east of Collins, transitioning to a gravel road at Taylorsville. Around nine years later, MS 35E was renumbered to MS 37, and MS 35W became part of MS 35. The section of the route near Raleigh was paved by 1951, and the remaining section near Taylorsville was paved by July 1952.
