The **Nouméa-Païta railway** was, apart from several narrow gauge industrial railway lines, the only metre-gauge railway line serving New Caledonia. It was opened in December 1914 between Nouméa, the capital, and Dumbéa in 1904 and extended to Païta in 1914. The 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+38 in) narrow gauge railway traveled the 29 kilometers (18 mi) between the two cities in one hour and fifteen minutes.

## History

The idea of a railway connecting Nouméa to Canala on the North coast of the island 166 km (103 mi) Northwest of Noumea was first approved by governor Pallu de la Barrière in 1884. But money failed as the Conseil General hesitated to give the required loan necessary for the enterprise. The following governor Paul Feillet was able to elect a Conseil General who borrowed the sum necessary for the execution of a program of works including the construction of a railway.

The line was inaugurated August 17 1901, but opened to users first on December 30 1904. The ambitious initial project had been considerably truncated as the line stopped at Dumbéa. The deep cut to bring the line across a hill and the Tonghoué Tunnel, generated work for four years and created some permanent jobs. But the line carried passengers and goods only seventeen kilometers, to the cost of more than four and a half million francs.

In 1908, the Société des Charbonnages de Nouvelle-Calédonie, which exploited the deposits of Nondoué, proposed to build at its own expense a Dumbéa-Païta section. The Conseil General adopted the project, contracted a new loan and the works. The new section, which required the construction of a 79 m (259 ft) bridge over the Dumbéa and the opening of a second tunnel, was to require four years of work. On January 1, 1914 the Nouméa-Païta line was inaugurated, with twenty-nine kilometers traveled in a little over an hour and a half, with ten stops and a compulsory stop at Dumbéa, between the departure station and the arrival station.

The operating accounts were balanced in 1908 but from 1912 the situation began to decline. The reasons were epidemic of plague, the Great War, the competition of buses in the twenties and the world economic crisis. In November 1939, a decision was made to temporarily stop the operation of the railway. The Nouméa-Païta railway closed on 1 January 1940 owing to low ridership, the deficit of the company and rolling stock and tracks in poor condition.

In April 1942, the American 790th Railway Transportation Company reopened the line to operate railways for the Allied presence on New Caledonia.

After the Americans left the line was abandoned and demolished. The remains of the former railway station of Païta remain in the north of the town. The loading platform and the ramp are well-preserved and the foundations of various buildings are still visible. A small locomotive, nicknamed *Marguerite*, is preserved on the former railway ground. The locomotive was used until 1940. The narrow gauge track, however, was dismantled and the former alignment of the railway track is no longer visible.

## Route

The line counted eight stations within the three municipalities of the Southern Province. It started in Nouméa city centre and counted a secondary station in the ward (*Grand Quartier*) of Riviére Salée. It crossed the villages of Auteuil and Col de Tonghoué before entering Dumbéa. After, the line crossed the village of Nondoué and Mount Mou, the nearby mountain, a few kilometres before the last station, Païta. It counted a pair of tunnels (Tunnel de Tonghoué and Tunnel de l'Erambéré) and three bridges over the rivers La Ouanéoué, La Dumbéa and Karikouié.

# Nishonoseki stable (2021)

**Nishonoseki stable** (二所ノ関部屋, *Nishonoseki-beya*) is a stable of sumo wrestlers, one of the Nishonoseki group of stables. It broke off from Tagonoura stable by its founder, the 72nd *yokozuna* Kisenosato, and officially opened in August 2021 as **Araiso stable** (荒磯部屋, *Araiso-beya*). The name of the stable changed in January 2022 after the Japan Sumo Association approved the changing of Kisenosato's *toshiyori* (elder name) from Araiso to Nishonoseki, following the retirement of former *ōzeki* Wakashimazu.

## History

In December 2021 Nishonoseki recruited an 18-year-old student from his hometown Ibaraki Prefecture's Ushiku Senior High School, whom he had spotted while frequenting the school's sumo club. In March 2022 the stable recruited a pair of identical twins, Hayashiryū and Rinko, from the same Nagano sumo club as former *ōzeki* Mitakeumi. In March 2023 the stable also announced the recruitment of 22-year-old amateur *yokozuna* Daiki Nakamura, a graduate of Nippon Sport Science University. Defined as "the most eagerly awaited prospect to come out of collegiate sumo in decades," Nakamura–who took the *shikona* "Ōnosato"–began his professional career at the rank of *makushita* 10 via the *makushita tsukedashi* system.

Nakamura-*oyakata* (former *sekiwake* Yoshikaze) moved to the stable after the January 2022 tournament, due to the closure of his own Oguruma stable, and brought former *maegashira* Tomokaze with him. Tomokaze was promoted back to *jūryō* following the January 2023 tournament, becoming the stable's first *sekitori*.

Ōnosato was promoted to *jūryō* in July 2023 along with another lower-division wrestler, Takahashi. They are the first two recruited by Kisenosato to become *sekitori*. In May 2024, one year after his debut, Ōnosato won his first championship in the top division.

Shortly after the May 2024 tournament the former Yoshikaze branched off from Nishonoseki to form his own stable, Nakamura stable.

As of July 2024, the stable had 17 wrestlers.

## Ring name conventions

Some promising wrestlers at this stable (such as Ōnosato or Wakenosato) take ring names or *shikona* that contain the kanji の里 (read "-nosato"), in honor of the founder of the stable, former *yokozuna* Kisenosato and his master, former *yokozuna* Takanosato.

# Hyperolius bopeleti

***Hyperolius bopeleti***, also known as the **Dizangue reed frog** or **Bopelet's reed frog**, is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is endemic to the coastal southwestern Cameroon. The specific name *bopeleti* honours M. Bopelet, a Cameroonian biologist.

## Description

Males and females both grow to 22 mm (0.9 in) in snout–vent length. The body and limbs are warty. The snout is blunt. The fingers and the toes are partially webbed and bear terminal discs. The dorsum is grey with a darker hourglass-like pattern. The belly is blue-green. Males have yellow throat. This species does not show sex- or phase-related colour polymorphism.

The male advertisement call is a high-pitched, metallic click.

## Habitat and conservation

*Hyperolius bopeleti* occurs in degraded former forest (farm bush) at elevations less than 200 m (660 ft) above sea level; it can live within a few meters of the sea. Reproduction takes place in small pools. Clutches of about 100 eggs are deposited high above the water (4–5 m) into which the larvae eventually fall.

Although this species appears adaptable, it is uncommon and its range is small; expanding agriculture and human settlements are probable threats to it. It is not known to occur in any protected areas.

# Georges Henein

**Georges Henein** (1914–1973) was an Egyptian poet and author. He was a founding member of the Cairo-based, surrealist Art and Liberty Group which brought together artists, writers and various intellectuals of different backgrounds and national origins under the shared cause of anti-fascist activism. The group was active from 1938 up until the late 1940s.

## Early life and education

Born in Cairo in 1914, Henien was the son of Sadek Henein Pacha, a coptic diplomat father and Mary Zanelli, an Italian-Egyptian mother. Henein spent his childhood between Cairo, Madrid, Rome and Paris where he would eventually study at the Lycée Pasteur de Neuily and the Sorbonne. Because of his education abroad, he was fluent in Arabic, Italian, Greek, English and French. While in France, Henein met André Breton and Henri Calet. He established a friendship with Breton and began a correspondence with him in which Henein "grappled with questions of how to fuse revolutionary Marxism with Surrealism."

Before graduating from the Sorbonne, Henein joined *Les Essayistes* ("The Attempters"), a Francophone literary club, and took part in its monthly publication *Un Effort.* In 1933 he became a columnist in Egyptian newspapers, notable for his enlightening or nasty tone.

## Writing career

Back from Paris in the 1930s, he spread surrealism in Cairo by founding the group Art et Liberté (Albert Cossery was a member), and then by creating the journal (and publishing house) *La Part du Sable* with poet Edmond Jabès and painter Ramsès Younane. In 1938, Georges met surrealist poet, Ikbal El-Alailly, also known as Paula, who he would marry in 1954. Together, along with several other surrealists from Art and Liberty, they worked on a surrealist publication of writings and drawings titled *La séance continue.* When he died, she published several of his works in French such as *Notes on a Useless Country, The Gloomiest Relation,* and the *Savage Spirit.* In 1939 he cofounded a weekly, *Don Quichotte*, together with Henri Curiel and Raoul Curiel. Henein participated in the journal *Troisième Convoi* (1945–1951), created by his friend Michel Fardoulis-Lagrange and Jean Maquet.

In 1938, he published his first collection of poems titled *Absurdity of Being* with illustrations by fellow Art and Liberty member Kamel el-Telmissany. In 1944-45, he published *For a Polluted Consciousness, Who Are You, Mr. Aragon* and *Position of Terror.* His later titles include *The Incompatible, Two Images, Allusion to Kafka,* and *The Forbidden.* In 1967, he wrote the introduction for *An Anthology of Contemporary Arabic Literature* and in 1969 he worked as a collaborator in *The Small Political Encyclopedia.*

In Paris, he co-directed the surrealist liaison office “Cause”, but in 1948, he withdrew from the Surrealist movement, while still publishing his poems in Phases journal. In the 1960s, he got involved in journalism working as editor-in-chief and head of the reporting department for the news magazines *Jeune Afrique* and *L’Express*.

While forced to exile in France by the Egyptian government in 1962 – due to his anti-fascist ideas, Henein worked as a journalist. Writing on Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Marilyn Monroe or Françoise Hardy, Henein stood out for his free, alert and unalterable tone. He used to work with an urgency allowing him to be scandalized or to be moved in the same breath, with a rage sometimes tinged with melancholy, sometimes with perfidy. An example: “Raymond Roussel snubbed Marcel Proust, and, for that alone, he deserves our sympathy.” (Guliver, Paris, 1973)

# Halte Amsterdam ArenA

**Halte Amsterdam ArenA** (Asdar) is a single rail train halt in the Bijlmermeer neighbourhood of *stadsdeel* (borough) Amsterdam-Zuidoost in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Situated right at the Johan Cruyff Arena, a football stadium which was previously known as the Amsterdam Arena, the station is specially built for supporter trains deployed during football matches that are considered high risk to the public, such as when local football club AFC Ajax face either Feyenoord, FC Utrecht, PSV or ADO Den Haag. In away matches supporters arrive and depart via this rail station. Regular attendants of the Ajax matches usually arrive via either the Duivendrecht station or the Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA station. Many away supporters also commonly arrive at the stadium by bus as well.

## History

Completed in 1996 along with the then newly constructed stadium, the station has one platform and one track and its train services are operated by the Nederlandse Spoorwegen. The station is specifically designed for supporter trains of away supporters of clubs for matches which are considered a high risk factor such as when Ajax play their arch-rivals Feyenoord, or against teams like FC Groningen for example. It is also sometimes used as a pickup point for Ajax fans for risk-games, or the Dutch cup final.

The stop is situated at the connector of Diemen Zuid station and Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA railway station (see diagram in article Amsterdam–Arnhem railway) and consists of a single platform which is connected to the Johan Cruyff Arena via a steel bridge. The steel bridge of the station won an architecture prize in the city. The location is just as the Stadium, in between the Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA railway station and the Strandvliet metro station.

The stop is only accessible from the direction of Diemen Zuid. Trains arriving from the direction of Woerden, Utrecht and Breukelen have to first reach the Diemen Zuid station before heading back towards the ArenA.

# My Teenage Stride

**My Teenage Stride** is a band from Brooklyn, New York, with influences including The Smiths and The Jesus and Mary Chain. They have released four albums since 2004.

## History

My Teenage Stride (or "MTS") started in 2003 as "the bedroom/hallway/basement recording project of Jedediah Smith," providing a band identity for Smith's multi-instrumental solo recordings. Over the years, the group has consisted of Jedediah Smith and a shifting cast of band members.

Smith grew up in the rural Western Massachusetts town of Colrain, learning piano, guitar, bass and drums as a teenager. As Smith described it, "My grandmother was a stride piano player, Jelly Roll Morton-style... She almost went professional, but because she was a woman in the '20s I don't think she felt she'd be able to go all the way with it. My mom started singing jazz after she turned 40, and my dad had an incredible record collection."

The first My Teenage Stride album, *A Sad Cloud*, was released on the Banazan label in 2004, followed the following year by *Major Major* on Becalmed Records.

Smith recruited Michael Hollitscher on bass, Brett Whitmoyer on drums, Tris McCall on synthesizer, and Dakkan Abbe on guitar; this line-up recorded part of the third album, 2007's *Ears Like Golden Bats*, though much of the album consisted of Smith still playing every instrument.

*Ears Like Golden Bats* was described by eMusic.com as "one of the year's most thrilling surprises, an album that wraps wry gallows humor in glistening guitars and whistling synths." The review continued:

> Lyrically, Smith is a gleeful malcontent. The first words on the record are "God bless the criminal," and its remainder is filled with tales of sad sacks and pessimists who never built a bridge they wouldn't burn. "Reversal," a canny re-write of the Chills '"Pink Frost," is one long festival of denial, Smith grimly intoning: "When you feel alright/ reversal!/ when you sail alright/ reversal!"

In 2008, the group self-released an EP called *Lesser Demons,* and in December 2008, recorded a festive tune for the Christmas compilation 'An Indiecater Christmas' released by Indiecater Records.

My Teenage Stride undertook to release a single each month in 2009, with releases on eMusic.com that included some b-sides and two EPs.

As of 2010, My Teenage Stride was a trio with Smith, Edd Chitenden, and John Grewell. They released a set of five songs, recorded earlier in 2010 by Smith alone, on WFMU's Free Music Archive.

In early 2010, the group solicited funding on Kickstarter for a new album, citing a plan to work with producer/musician Marc Kramer (of Butthole Surfers, Galaxie 500, and Bongwater).

# George Sinclair, 7th Earl of Caithness

**George Sinclair**, previously of Keiss, died 1698, was a Scottish nobleman, 7th Earl of Caithness and chief of the Clan Sinclair, a Scottish clan of the Scottish Highlands.

## Early life

George Sinclair of Keiss was the son of Francis Sinclair of Northfield, who in turn was a younger son of George Sinclair, 5th Earl of Caithness. His first cousin-once-removed was George Sinclair, 6th Earl of Caithness (d. 1676) who was the son of John Sinclair, Master of Berriedale and his wife Jean, daughter of Colin Mackenzie, 1st Earl of Seaforth. The 6th Earl of Caithness's paternal grandparents were William Sinclair, Lord Berriedale and Mary, daughter of Henry Sinclair, Lord Sinclair. William Sinclair, Lord Berriedale was in turn the elder son of George Sinclair, 5th Earl of Caithness.

## Dispute to the Earldom of Caithness

George Sinclair, 6th Earl of Caithness married Mary, daughter of Archibald Campbell, 1st Marquess of Argyll, but had no children. He died at Thurso Castle in 1676. The Earldom of Caithness being much in debt, he had transferred the estates and the title to his principal creditor, John Campbell of Glenorchy, who upon Sinclair's death was created Earl of Caithness by patent. This however was challenged by George Sinclair of Keiss. On 13 July 1680, Campbell of Glenorchy took a force of 800 men north to evict Sinclair of Keiss, who was waiting for him with 500 men near Wick. Inflamed with drink, the Sinclairs attacked the force of Campbells and were routed in what is known as the Battle of Altimarlach. Legend has it that so many Sinclairs were killed that the Campbells were able to cross the river without getting their feet wet. However, in 1681 the Privy Council of Scotland made a proclamation in favour of Sinclair of Keiss who became the 7th Earl of Caithness and Campbell of Glenorchy was created Earl of Breadalbane and Holland by way of compensation.

George Sinclair of Keiss, 7th Earl of Caithness died in 1698 without issue and this brought an end to the male heirs of the 5th Earl. The Earldom of Caithness then devolved upon the male heirs of James Sinclair, 1st of Murkle, who himself was a son of John Sinclair, Master of Caithness (d. 1576), who in turn was a son of George Sinclair, 4th Earl of Caithness (d. 1582). John Sinclair, eldest son of James Sinclair, 2nd of Murkle, then became the 8th Earl of Caithness.

Urban districts were abolished 1974.

As of 2012 Haltemprice gives its name to the Haltemprice and Howden (UK Parliament constituency), and the East Riding of Yorkshire Council run 'Haltemprice Leisure Centre' in Anlaby.

## Background and etymology

Haltemprice Priory was established as an Augustinian religious dwelling in the 14th century. The name is thought to derive from the French *Haute Emprise* (High enterprise). The priory existed until the 16th century and the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. Settlement continued at Haltemprice as 'Haltemprice Farm', the farm was occupied up to 1998; as of 2011 the farm building was derelict.

## Parish (1858–)

Haltemprice was historically an extra-parochial area, and was made a civil parish in its own right in 1858. It was included in the Sculcoates Rural District under the Local Government Act 1894.

## Urban district (1935–1974)

On 1 April 1935, under a County Review Order, an urban district of Haltemprice was set up, to cover Hull's western suburbs. The Cottingham and Hessle urban districts were abolished and included into the new Haltemprice Urban District, as was part of the Sculcoates Rural District including the existing parish of Haltemprice and the parish of West Ella. In 1961 the parish had a population of 42,386.

On 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, Haltemprice Urban District was merged to form part of the Beverley borough in Humberside. Haltemprice parish was also abolished. The northern half of Humberside became the reconstituted East Riding in 1996. The former Haltemprice area has been since divided again into a number of civil parishes.

The area gives its name to the Parliamentary seat of Haltemprice and Howden which is held by the former Shadow Home Secretary and former Brexit Secretary David Davis and, as the fictional constituency of Haltemprice, was held by the fictional Tory MP Alan B'Stard in the ITV sitcom *The New Statesman*.

title: Nishonoseki stable (1911–2013)

abstract: Nishonoseki stable (1911–2013) was a stable of sumo wrestlers, part of the Nishonoseki group of stables (ichimon) named after it. It first appeared in the late eighteenth century and was re-established in 1935 by the 32nd yokozuna Tamanishiki while still active. The former ōzeki Saganohana produced the stable's greatest wrestler, yokozuna Taihō, who won a record for the time of 32 yūshō or tournament championships between 1961 and 1971. The stable's last head coach, former sekiwake Kongō, took charge in 1976, when he was adopted by the widow of the previous head. He was also on the board of directors of the Japan Sumo Association. The stable's fortunes declined in later years. It had no sekitori wrestlers after the retirement of Daizen in 2003 and at the end had just three active wrestlers, all in sandanme or below. The naturalisation of a Chinese born rikishi, Ryūtei, opened up another spot in the stable for a foreigner, and a Mongolian wrestler was recruited in March 2010, Kengo, but he retired in May 2011 having missed several tournaments due to suffering a traumatic brain injury. In February 2010 general affairs manager Yoshiyuki Inoguchi, a former wrestler for the stable from 1975 to 1993 under the shikona of Nijodake, was found hanged in an apparent suicide. The stable closed after the January 2013 tournament, due to the ill health of the stablemaster and the lack of a suitable successor to him. All three of its wrestlers retired, with the rest of the personnel moving to Matsugane stable. The name of the stable was written in three-storey-high characters down the front of the building. It has since been demolished to make way for apartment blocks.

***My Ten Years in a Quandary, and How They Grew*** is a 1936 collection of 105 short humorous essays by Robert Benchley. The book was originally published by Harper Brothers and illustrated by Gluyas Williams. It was a best-seller upon release.

## Critical reception

The collection is considered one of Benchley's "most brilliant." A reviewer at *America* wrote, that *My Ten Years in a Quandary, and How They Grew* is "bristling… with tiny, droll essays on almost every subject imaginable, and inducing in the reader a state of sustained hilarity." Robert van Gelder of the *New York Times* wrote, "if there is a better bedside book than this it should be beside the couch of Jove." A reviewer at *The Baltimore Sun* wrote, "I have never been able to find much humor in the writings of Robert Benchley but I must say his latest book, *My Ten Years In A Quandary And How They Grew*, has caught my fancy and I do not hesitate to recommend it."

# George Sinclair (mercenary)

**George Sinclair** (c. 1580–1612) was a Scottish mercenary who fought and died in the Kalmar War. He is remembered in popular song in Norway and the Faroe Islands, through the ballad *Sinklars Visa*.

## Biography

George Sinclair was a nephew of George Sinclair, 5th Earl of Caithness. He was educated at Edinburgh High School and in 1595 participated in a mutiny which ended after the city officers stormed the school; according to a Norwegian source Sinclair shot a bailie with a pistol.

James VI and I, the brother-in-law of Christian IV of Denmark, forbade Scottish mercenaries from joining the Swedes in the Kalmar War (1611-1613). But Sinclair and his men, led by Lieutenant-Colonel Alexander Ramsay, went to Romsdalen in Norway anyway. They landed at Klungnes on the shore of the Romsdalsfjord on 19 or 20 August 1612, in two ships and with around 300 men. A week after they landed they were engaged by a Norwegian militia of farmers, with only a few Scotsmen escaping with their lives, in what became known as the Battle of Kringen. Sinclair was shot by Berdon Segelstad, a Norwegian militiaman, with a silver button. He was buried in Kvam, at the old church, and a memorial stone put over his grave remains there still.

## Legacy

Sinclair's story, as *Sinklars Visa*, is memorialized in folk songs in Norway and in one of the Kvæði, the ballads of Faroese folk culture. Faroese folk metal band Týr adapted *Sinklars Visa* for a modern metal audience; the song is an audience favorite.

Sinclair is also remembered in the poem "The Ballad of George Sinclair" translated into English from the original Danish/Norwegian and written by Edvard Storm, in 1781.

Childe Sinclair and his menyie steered
Across the salt sea waves;
But at Kringellens' mountain gorge
They filled untimely graves.

They crossed the stormy waves so blue,
for Swedish gold to fight;
May burning curses on them fall
That strike not for the right!

The horned moon is gleaming red,
The waves are rolling deep;
A mermaid trolled her demon lay -
Childe Sinclair woke from sleep.

Turn round, turn round thou Scottish youth,
Or loud thy sire shall mourn;
For if thou touchest Norway's strand,
Thou never shall return.

Henrik Wergeland wrote a historical tragedy of the incident, *Sinklars Død* (Death of Sinclair), in about 1840. Wergeland also refers to the battle in his poem "Norges Fjelde" ("mountains of Norway"), where he calls the lumber barricade used in the ambush a "barricade of freedom". Wergeland's tragedy, in turn, was one of the inspirations for Henrik Ibsen's first play, *Catiline*.

Victorian antiquarians, in the late 19th century, named the "Sinclair Hilt" for George Sinclair, using it to denote Scandinavian swords that "bear a certain resemblance" to swords used in the Scottish Highlands in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Captured Scottish weapons, including a pistol, a lochabar axe and several basket hilt claymores, were put on display at the Gudbrandsdal Museum, Kvam, to commemorate the battle.

# Jim Morton (footballer, born 1956)

**James Michael Morton** (born 29 October 1956) is a Scottish former footballer who played for several Scottish clubs in the 1970, 80s and 90s. Morton played in over 500 games and scored over 119 goals in all competitions during his career and is perhaps best known for his spell at St Johnstone F.C. where he remains the club's record top midfield goal scorer.

## Career

Jim Morton first moved into senior football when he was seventeen, signing for Brechin City F.C. from Dundee North End in 1974. Throughout the next four years he established himself in the Brechin side. Several clubs had shown interest in the young Dundonian, but it was in August 1978 that Berwick Rangers F.C. came in to make a bid for the midfielder. A fee of £10,000 (then a club record) along with Billy Laing moving to Glebe Park was enough to bring Morton to Berwick.

After a promising season's start Berwick Rangers F.C. found themselves sitting off the pace at the top. It was then that the team and Morton recorded a run of seven consecutive wins. Morton scored six goals in four games and Rangers were safe. Morton was the season's top scorer with nineteen goals.

In November 1979 St Johnstone F.C. (Saints) came in with a £30,000 offer, thereby increasing his value threefold in the space of sixteen months. The figure equalled Saints record transfer fee paid. Nicknamed "Silky" at Muirton, Morton became one of the best midfielders ever to have played for the Saints. In 1981–82 he led the club's scoring charts with another nineteen goal haul. He remains to this day the club's record goal scoring midfielder.

After Saints were relegated from the Premier league, Morton accepted an offer from Brisbane Lions, Queensland and left for Australia in 1986. He returned to Scotland late in 1987 and instead of going to Saints he signed for Forfar Athletic F.C. usually playing in his familiar midfield role, but occasionally appearing in the no 3 shirt. Morton played his 100th league encounter in Forfar colours.

After three years at Station Park he opened the final chapter in his playing career when he moved along the road to Arbroath. Morton's final season as senior was 92/93 and decided to retire from the game completely and concentrate on a career in banking.

Despite spending part of his career abroad, Morton still managed over 500 league appearances netting in excess of 100 goals.

Currently residing in East Yorkshire, England.

# Nash Ridge

**Nash Ridge** (74°17′S 163°0′E / 74.283°S 163.000°E / -74.283; 163.000 (Nash Ridge)) is a high, massive ridge of eastern Eisenhower Range, about 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) long and 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) wide, projecting between the flow of the O'Kane Glacier and Priestley Glacier, in Victoria Land, Antarctica.

## Exploration and naming

Nash Ridge was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1955–63. It was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Harold A. Nash, biologist at McMurdo Station in the 1965-66 and 1966–67 seasons.

## Location

Nash Ridge trends in a northwest-southeast direction. The Priestly Glacier flows past the northeast side of the ridge, and the O'Kane Glacier flows down the southwest side. They join at the southern tip of the ridge. Features of the ridge, from north to south, include Mount Meister, Mount Borgstrom and Lowry Bluff. Nearby features include Eskimo Point, to the west, and Mount New Zealand and Timber Peak to the northwest.

## Features

Features and nearby features include, from north to south:

### Timber Peak

74°10′S 162°23′E / 74.167°S 162.383°E / -74.167; 162.383. A high peak 3,070 metres (10,070 ft) high above Priestley Glacier, on the south side. The peak is 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) west-northwest of the summit of Mount New Zealand. The Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE) (1962-63) gave this name because petrified sections of tree branches were found in sandstone deposits at this point.

### Mount New Zealand

74°11′S 162°30′E / 74.183°S 162.500°E / -74.183; 162.500. A large mountain, 2,890 metres (9,480 ft) high, standing immediately northwest of Nash Ridge on the south side of Priestley Glacier. Discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (BrNAE), 1901-04, which named this mountain in recognition of the generous assistance given the expedition by the Government and people of New Zealand.

### Mount Meister

74°14′S 162°47′E / 74.233°S 162.783°E / -74.233; 162.783. A mountain, 2,520 metres (8,270 ft) high, on the west side of Priestley Glacier, surmounting the north end of Nash Ridge. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1955-63. Named by US-ACAN for Laurent J. Meister, geologist at McMurdo Station, 1965-66 season.

### Mount Borgstrom

74°16′S 162°53′E / 74.267°S 162.883°E / -74.267; 162.883. A mountain, 2,610 metres (8,560 ft) high, rising 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) southeast of Mount Meister on Nash Ridge. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1955-63. Named by US-ACAN for Commander Charles O. Borgstrom, air operations officer with United States Navy Squadron VX-6 during Operation Deep Freeze 1966.

### Eskimo Point

74°17′S 162°33′E / 74.283°S 162.550°E / -74.283; 162.550. A flat-topped, steep-sided promontory which protrudes from the east side of Eisenhower Range and forms the north wall of O'Kane Canyon. So named by the Southern Party of NZGSAE, 1962-63, which camped on its upper surface and built an igloo while waiting for white-out conditions to lift.

### Lowry Bluff

74°22′S 163°19′E / 74.367°S 163.317°E / -74.367; 163.317. A bluff, 1,070 metres (3,510 ft) high, forming the east extremity of Nash Ridge. Mapped by USGS from surveys and United States Navy air photos, 1955-63. Named by US-ACAN for George Lowry, biologist at McMurdo Station, 1965-66 season.

*I'm Totally Fine with It Don't Give a Fuck Anymore* received a score of 85 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on seven critics' reviews, which the website categorised as "universal acclaim". Stuart Berman of *Pitchfork* wrote that Arab Strap "stand among indie rock's most astute observers of human behavior in the digital age" with the album, which "features some of their punchiest productions to date, expanding the cheeky 'disco *Spiderland*' template of its predecessor into more forceful displays of rhythm and discord". Joe Rivers of *Clash* felt that Arab Strap "remain experts at chronicling the world around them" on an album "full of piss and vinegar, but it's full of desire, regret and love, too".

*Mojo* described the album as "thrillingly raw" with the band "at their most streamlined, visceral and direct, disproving F Scott Fitzgerald's theory about second acts". *Uncut* wrote that "Arab Strap songs mostly have a strong, vinegary flavour, and this is a bracingly sour album over the long haul. The relentless misanthropic grind can drag in places. But as ever, Moffat's withering scorn is sweetened by beautiful poetry, tender emotion and self-aware, bruise-black humour".

*PopMatters*' Nick Soulsby found that *I'm Totally Fine with It* "has some of \[Arab Strap's\] most straight-rocking moments", particularly on "Allatonceness" and "Strawberry Moon", and called the album "such an eruption of creative energy from a band on a renewed jag of pure inspiration". Reviewing the album for *MusicOMH*, Ross Horton remarked that the band are "stronger than ever" with "morosely funny lyrics, and a pitch-perfect retro sound design that alternates between deadly serious and utterly comical". Michael James Hall of *Under the Radar* said that "these are pop songs, in a way, memorable, melodically awesome at times, but fed through an unrelenting mincer of misery".

# Lake Kenosia

Interactive map of Lake Kenosia

**Lake Kenosia** is a lake located in Danbury, Connecticut, United States. The lake covers 59.5 acres (24.1 ha).

## History

The lake was originally called Mill Plain Pond because the dam of a nearby mill had flooded the swamp located there.

In 1860, a resort hotel called the Kenosia Hotel opened at the lake. It was destroyed by fire the same year.

In the late 1800s, the Danbury and Bethel Street Railway, which owned the shortest electrified trolley system in Connecticut, purchased 12 acres (4.9 ha) of land on Lake Kenosia to build an amusement park. The company extended their trolley line to the lake, and opened Lake Kenosia Amusement Park in 1895. The park featured a wooden roller coaster, a carousel, a 1,000 seat open-air performance center, and the three-story Kenmere Resort Hotel. A 30-seat steamboat called *Montgomery* was brought to the lake, where it became "problematic because it was far too big for Lake Kenosia". Fire destroyed the hotel in 1927, and the park's popularity diminished following the opening of Candlewood Lake in the 1920s.

In 2016, drought conditions caused Danbury's water reservoirs to approach "critically low levels", and the city was permitted to temporarily draw water from Lake Kenosia.

## Recreation

Lake Kenosia Park is a 25-acre (10 ha) park located on the north side of the lake, with a playground, benches and soccer fields. Parking is available, and there is a boat launch for non-motorized boats. Swimming in not permitted in Lake Kenosia.
