## Biographical details

### Early life

**Haldor Lillenas** was born on 19 November 1885 on Stord Island, near Bergen, Norway, the son of Ole Paulsen Lillenas (born May 1854 in Norway; died 24 July 1926 in Hennepin County, Minnesota), a farmer and storekeeper, and his wife Anna Marie Lillenas (born March 1851 in Norway; died c. 1906 in Minnesota), and brother of Paul Olson (born 27 March 1879 in Norway; died 18 May 1934 in Hennepin County, Minnesota), Johanes O. (born July 1882 in Norway), Katrine G. (born July 1888 in North Dakota), and George M. (born 11 March 1896 in Astoria, Oregon).

The Lillenas family farm comprised 15 acres (61,000 m2) of rocky ground, which was sold to allow the family to migrate to the United States. While Anna and her three children lived temporarily in a home south of Bergen, Ole Lillenas migrated from Norway to the United States of America via Canada in 1886, where he bought a farm in Colton, South Dakota. After Ole finished constructing a sod house, Anna, and the three children were re-united with him in 1887. In 1889 the Lillenas family relocated again to a farm on the Columbia River near Astoria, Oregon. While living in Astoria, Lillenas learned English and began to attend school. In 1900 the family moved to Roseville Township, Kandiyohi County, Minnesota. While in Roseville, Lillenas began attending high school in a Lutheran school at Hawick, Minnesota. At the age of 17, Lillenas began a four-year correspondence course from the International Correspondence Schools in chemistry and chemical analysis with private tutors. Lillenas worked as a farm labourer most of the year, but during winter he concentrated on his studies. About 1906 Anna Marie Lillenas died, and Ole decided to relocate the family to North Dakota, however Lillenas decided to move back to Astoria, Oregon, where he finished his correspondence course and found employment in a chemical factory.

### Spiritual experience

Like most Scandinavians at that time, Lillenas was raised in a Lutheran family. The Lillenas family were devout in their religious life, and attended community services when held in their area. At the age of fifteen Lillenas became a confirmed member of the Lutheran Church in Hawick. However, Lillenas indicated in his autobiography that at that time, he had not experienced "the miracle of the new birth". As a young boy, Lillenas had been befriended by an elderly woman who taught him English, and told him about Jesus. As a consequence, in 1906 Lillenas began to attend meetings at the Peniel Mission, a holiness rescue mission, in Astoria, Oregon where this woman was an active worker. According to Lillenas in a 1948 interview, it was shortly after the death of his mother, soon after moving to Astoria, one summer evening "he paused to listen to a street corner service. There he heard for the first time the strains of 'Tell Mother I'll Be There'. He made his decision then to devote his life to Christian service." According to McGraw, the "singing and testimonies brought conviction to his heart. Later that year he was saved, and three weeks later his heart was cleansed. Soon he was "helping in the mission, singing to his heart's content, witnessing with joy to 'the wonderful grace of Jesus', and writing songs with increasing skill and volume."

In 1907 Lillenas moved to Portland, Oregon, where he worked with the Peniel Mission located at 247 NW Couch Street. All Peniel Mission workers were unsalaried, but the local mission paid for most of their expenses. Soon after, Lillenas testified that he believed he was called to be a minister of the gospel, at which time he was appointed leader of the Portland mission. During his year of leadership, "he saw so many souls won to Christ that he felt more certain than ever that he should devote his life to the Lord's work." In 1908 Lillenas became a member of the Portland First Church of the Nazarene, then located at 428 Burnside Street, which had been founded on 4 July 1906. Soon after Lillenas enrolled in the ministerial course of studies, which he began by correspondence. Soon afterward, Lillenas joined a vocal group associated with the Salvation Army called the "Charioteers' Brigade", which held street meetings and revival services throughout a large portion of California.

### Ministerial preparation

As a result of some generous donations, and the efforts of Rev. A.O. Hendricks, pastor of the Portland Church of the Nazarene, in 1909 Lillenas was able to continue his ministerial studies at the Deets Pacific Bible College, an antecedent of Point Loma Nazarene University, located at the corner of San Pedro and East 28th Streets, Los Angeles, California. Additionally, Lillenas was able to secure part-time work to finance his studies, but by the end of the year accepted the ministry as the music director of a local church, and was active in songwriting and preaching. During this time Lillenas also studied voice at the Lyric School of Music in Los Angeles.

### Marriages and family

#### Bertha Mae Wilson

While at Deets College Lillenas was in a college group that held evangelistic services most weekends. On this team was another student, Bertha Mae Wilson (born 1 March 1889 in Hanson, Kentucky; died 13 March 1945 at Tuscumbia, Missouri), the oldest daughter of Rev. William C. Wilson (1866–1915), then pastor of Pasadena First Church of the Nazarene., but later a general superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene. Lillenas and Bertha Mae both preached, sang, and wrote songs, and often practised in the home of her father. In his autobiography Lilenas recalled: "We soon learned that our voices blended well and so we arranged it that our lives should also be blended." On 4 October 1910 Lillenas married Bertha Mae. Bertha Mae was later an ordained minister in the Church of the Nazarene and composer. They had two children: Evangeline Mae (born 27 November 1911 in Santa Barbara, California) and Wendell Haldor (born 14 April 1915 in Illinois; died 1967 in Bethany, Oklahoma).

#### Lola Dell

After the death of Bertha from cancer in March 1945, Lillenas married Lola Dell (born 23 March 1894 in Kansas; died October 1974 in Kansas) later that year.

### Later years

In the depths of the Great Depression, 1938, the Lillenas family purchased a 500-acre (2.0 km2) rural acreage in the Miller County, Missouri hills of The Ozarks, halfway between Tuscumbia and Iberia on Missouri Route 17, about 75 kilometres (47 mi) southwest of Jefferson City. Here they constructed their home, which they called "Melody Lane". It was here that Bertha Mae died of cancer in March 1945, and where Lillenas and his second wife, Lola, lived until they relocated to Pasadena, California by 1955. When they lived at Melody Lane, Lillenas was an active member of the Iberia Church of the Nazarene, where there is now a memorial stained glass window in his honor.

After a visit to Israel in 1955, Lillenas sponsored a Palestinian Greek Orthodox family he had met as immigrants to the US, that included twelve-year-old Sirhan Bishara Sirhan (born March 19, 1944), the convicted assassin of Robert F. Kennedy. After their arrival in Pasadena, California in January 1957, the Sirhan family stayed with Lillenas for three months in his home, before moving into a home Lillenas rented and furnished for them. When Mary Sirhan's husband abandoned her and her two sons, and returned to Jordan, Lillenas ensured that they were able to remain in the USA.

### Death and burial

Lillenas died on 18 August 1959 at Aspen, Colorado.

## Career

### Pastor

Soon after his conversion in 1906, Lillenas was convinced that he was called to be a minister. Lillenas was a pastor for the Church of the Nazarene for fifteen years from 1910. Soon after his marriage in October 1910, they moved to Sacramento, California where they took charge of the Peniel Mission. After a year, Lillenas became the pastor of the Lompoc, California Church of the Nazarene. Lillenas and Bertha Mae were both ordained as elders in the Church of the Nazarene on the Southern California District in 1912 by Dr. Hiram F. Reynolds. At the time Bertha's father was the district superintendent. During this pastorate, Lillenas took a two-year course in composition and harmony with Welsh singer and composer Daniel Protheroe (born 5 November 1866; died 25 February 1934) and Adolph Rosenbecker from the Siegel–Myers Correspondence School of Music in Chicago, Illinois. Apparently they produced 78rpm records and cylinders and sent them to their students, e.g. Siegel–Myers School of Music - Vocal Record F, Record format: Edison Gold Moulded cylinder, Release date: c. 1906, (also known as the University Extension Conservatory). Because of his pastoral duties, it took him three years to complete the course.

Lillenas subsequently pastored churches in Pomona, California; Redlands, California; Auburn, Illinois (1916–1919); Peniel, Texas; and Indianapolis, Indiana (1923–1926). When Lillenas resigned from Indianapolis First Church to focus on his publishing house, Bertha became the pastor until they relocated to Kansas City, Missouri in 1930.

### Song evangelist

For ten years Lillenas was a song evangelist, who traveled with Bertha Mae holding revival services. Among those churches where he held evangelistic services was the Wesleyan Methodist Church in New Jersey where the father of George Beverly Shea was the pastor.

### Hymnwriter

From a very young age, Lillenas began to write his own songs, however it was not until he was 19 years old, that he attempted to have them published. In a 1948 interview, Lillenas indicated: "I was living in North Dakota at that time and I noticed an advertisement from a publishing company asking for new songs to publish. I didn't know then that a reputable publisher never has to advertise for songs. I spent $25 to have my songs published and I received $3.65 in "royalties" from that venture. My first few songs were not too successful." In the same interview he revealed that after many rejections, he finally succeeded in selling ten of his songs to one publisher for 50 cents each. One of these songs, *He Set Me Free*, became popular. Lillenas indicated that soon after his conversion at the age of 21, that he began to increasingly write hymns and songs that expressed his faith and joy. Lillenas was a prolific composer of hymns, and it is estimated that "in his lifetime, he wrote some 4,000 hymns, and supplied songs for many evangelists." Lillenas composed songs for cantatas for Easter and Christmas, Special Day church services. Lillenas used many pseudonyms to compose his songs, including Virginia Rose Golden, Laverne Gray, Richard Hainsworth, Rev. H. N. Lines, Robert Whitmore and Ferne Winters. In 1938 Lillenas became a member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).

While some of his hymns, such as *Wonderful Grace of Jesus* and *The Bible Stands*, crossed denominational barriers and appeared in the hymnals of various Protestant churches, most were used by Lillenas' own denomination and its ecclesiastical cousins within the Wesleyan-Holiness movement. Nazarene historian Floyd Cunningham sees "the number of songs by Haldor Lillenas that we sang, that were peculiar to us" as evidence of increased sectarianism in the Church of the Nazarene in its second generation. Timothy L. Smith asserts that this generation believed that "to keep the Spirit in the church, it seemed necessary to keep up the tempo." Among the prominent hymns that Lillenas wrote are:

* *He Set Me Free* (1909)
* *Holiness Forevermore* (1910)
* *Where They Need No Sun* (1911)
* *Wonderful Peace* (1914)
* *Jesus Has Lifted Me* (1916) (music only)
* *Will the Circle be Broken?* (1916)
* *The Bible Stands* (1917)
* *Glorious Freedom* (1917)
* *Wonderful Grace of Jesus* (1918)
* *It Is Glory Just To Walk With Him* (1918) (music only)
* *I Have Settled The Question* (1919)
* *Tell the Blessèd Story* (1920)
* *The Peace That Jesus Gives*
* *O My Heart Sings Today* (1924)
* *I Know a Name* (1928)
* *There's a Blessed and Triumphant Song*.
* *My Wonderful Lord* (1938)

In 1958 Lillenas wrote *The Sun Never Sets*, a song to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the Church of the Nazarene, based on a quotation from early Nazarene founder Phineas Bresee, who often said: "We are in the sunrise of the Nazarene movement and the sun never sets in the morning."

#### *Wonderful Grace of Jesus* (1918)

Lillenas' best known song is probably *Wonderful Grace of Jesus*, which he wrote during his pastorate at the Church of the Nazarene in Auburn, Illinois. Lillenas explains the origin of this gospel song:

> In 1917, Mrs. Lillenas and I built our first little home in the town of Olivet, Illinois. Upon its completion, we had scarcely any money left to furnish the little home. Having no piano at the time, and needing an instrument of some kind, I managed to find, at one of the neighbor's home, a little wheezy organ which I purchased for $5.00. With the aid of this instrument, a number of my songs, were written which are now popular, including 'Wonderful Grace of Jesus.'

*Wonderful Grace of Jesus* was copyrighted in 1918, but not published until 1922 in the *Tabernacle Choir Book*. Lillenas was paid $5.00 for this song.

### Poet

Lillenas was a respected poet. One of his notable poems was his 1928 poem, *Poverty*.

### Publisher

In 1924, while still serving as pastor of the Indianapolis First Church of the Nazarene, Lillenas founded the Lillenas Publishing Company. Shares were offered initially for $100 each. The President was E.W. Petticord; the Vice President was Kenneth H. Wells; the Secretary/Treasurer was Fra Morton, while Lillenas was the manager. On 16 October 1925 Lillenas Publishing Company opened the doors to their offices, which were located at 5921 East Washington Street (at the corner with Arlington Avenue). In 1926 Lillenas resigned as pastor to allow him to devote his energies to the publishing company. Bertha Mae assumed the pastoral responsibilities. Before Lillenas Publishing Company was sold to the Nazarene Publishing House in Kansas City, Missouri in 1930, more than 700,000 hymnals and song books were published and sold. The sale included 1,535 copyrights. The sale agreement mandated that Lillenas would serve as manager of Lillenas Publishing Company for ten years and then be reviewed. However Lillenas continued as an editor until his retirement in 1950, at the age of 65. After his retirement, Lillenas served as an adviser to the Music department of Nazarene Publishing House until his death.

### Author

Lillenas was the editor and compiler of over fifty song books for church and Sunday School. Lillenas' first book was *Special Sacred Songs*, which was published in 1919. Among his other publications was the first official hymnal for the Church of the Nazarene, *Glorious Gospel Songs*, published in 1931, soon after Lillenas Publishing Company became part of the Nazarene Publishing House. *Glorious Gospel Hymns* included about 700 hymns and gospel songs, of which 81 were of his own composition.

After his retirement from the Nazarene Publishing House in 1950, Lillenas and his second wife, Lola, traveled extensively, including three trips to his native Norway. During this period Lillenas wrote three books: *Modern Gospel Song Stories* (1952); an autobiography, *Down Melody Lane: An Autobiography* (1953); and *Motoring 11,000 miles Through Norway: A Guide for Tourists with Sixty Suggested Tours* (1955), a travel book based on his three trips to Norway.

## Awards and honors

In 1941 Olivet Nazarene College awarded Lillenas an honorary Doctor of Music degree in recognition of his contributions to American hymnody.

In 1982 Lillenas was inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame, in the same class as John T. Benson, Sr.; Thomas A. Dorsey; Charles H. Gabriel; Lowell Mason; B.B. McKinney; and John Newton.

In the Caravan scouting program of the Church of the Nazarene, the Haldor Lillenas Award is presented to outstanding fifth and sixth grade children.

# Half of Me (Geri Halliwell song)

"**Half of Me**" is a song by British singer-songwriter Geri Halliwell. It was released on 25 October 2013 by Sony Music Australia. The song marked Halliwell's first single release in eight years since her 2005 single "Desire".

## Background

While residing in Australia as part of the judging panel for *Australia's Got Talent*, Halliwell co-wrote the song with Australian songwriting duo DNA Songs. Halliwell described the song as a mix of "love, hope and optimism, with a splash of humour."

## Release

In September 2013, Halliwell signed with Sony Music Australia and it was announced that she would release her new single "Half of Me" exclusively in Australia as the lead single from her upcoming album. The first two live performances of "Half of Me" took place in October 2013; the first was a private free gig at the Beresford Hotel in Sydney and the second was during the Nine Network programme *The Footy Show* on 3 October 2013.

After the song's commercial failure, Halliwell opted not to perform the song on *Australia's Got Talent* or promote it any further, writing on her blog that she wanted to "dust \[her\]self off".

## Reception

### Critical response

Mike Wass of Idolator gave "Half of Me" a positive response describing it as a "quirky mid-tempo pop song \[that\] captures the ginger diva’s bawdy humor and undeniable charm with flair and originality." Eric Shorey of NewNowNext stated "Ginger Spice is riding the waves of two big trends: redheads and 90′s nostalgia. But that doesn’t mean her newest single, "Half of Me" isn’t worth listening to."

### Commercial performance

In its first week of release in Australia, "Half of Me" sold 393 copies and debuted at number 281 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The song's chart debut was announced in the news as only the top 100 positions are officially published. Halliwell mistakenly wrote on her blog that the song entered the chart at number 94, which was then reported in foreign media.

## Music video

The music video was filmed on 16 October 2013 and was released on 28 October 2013. In the video, Halliwell is seen dancing with shirtless male models and teddy bears.

Mike Wass of Idolator gave the music video a negative review, stating "Low budget videos are part and parcel of the modern music industry but surely Geri can do better than this? The still stunning 41-year-old looks great and salvages the situation to a certain extent through sheer charisma but parading around gays and lesbians to make a diluted statement about diversity is tired and borderline offensive. Only watch up top if you have a high tolerance for second hand embarrassment." Joel Golby of *Heat* magazine described the video as "15 people in an overlit studio looking confused by an array of topless men."

The music video for "Half of Me" became Halliwell's 10th solo music video and the 21st music video she appeared in, counting her music videos with the Spice Girls and England United.

title: Half of My Heart

abstract: "Half of My Heart" is a song by American singer-songwriter John Mayer featuring American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It is the third single from Mayer's 2009 album, Battle Studies. Mayer was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 2011 for his solo version of the song.

# Half of My Heart

"**Half of My Heart**" is a song by American singer-songwriter John Mayer featuring American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It is the third single from Mayer's 2009 album, *Battle Studies*. Mayer was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 2011 for his solo version of the song.

## Music and lyrics

The lyrics of "Half of My Heart" are sung by both Mayer and Swift; Swift sings with Mayer in the chorus and in the song's bridge. The lyrics are about the duo, with half of their hearts saying they should continue to love each other, although the other half says they are not each other's true love, and cannot keep loving each other.

Mayer "tweeted" about wanting to record the song with Swift in March 2009: "Waking up to this song idea that won't leave my head. 3 days straight now. That means it's good enough to finish," he wrote. "It's called 'Half of My Heart' and I want to sing it with Taylor Swift. She would make a killer Stevie Nicks in contrast to my Tom Petty of a song."

In an interview for the television special *John Mayer: On the Record with Fuse* (which aired only on Fuse), Mayer's interviewer asked why the singer chose Swift to duet with, since she was only 19 years old, and Mayer was 32. He responded by saying that he was not putting her on the album just to sell more copies for die-hard fans of Taylor Swift that might just get the album for that song.

A new version of the song was made which does not feature Swift. It also features different instrumentation. An alternate edit of this version was set to the music video, and does feature Swift, although the video does not. This version was released as the "Pop Mix" on iTunes and Amazon.

The black acoustic guitar Mayer uses in the official video is a Martin 000-ECHF Belezza Nera.

## Chart performance

"Half of My Heart" debuted at number 29 on the *Billboard* Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks chart on the issue date of May 8, 2010. This makes John Mayer's 14th appearance on that chart. The song also debuted at number 25 on the *Billboard* Hot 100 upon the release of Mayer's album *Battle Studies*. It fell off the Hot 100 within two weeks; however, upon its release as a single it re-entered the chart at number 88 and reached number 34. So far, it is Mayer's last single to reach the Top 40 of the *Billboard* Hot 100, though he has made appearances outside of the Top 40 since.

title: Persoonia laxa

abstract: Persoonia laxa is an extinct shrub of the family Proteaceae native to the Sydney region in eastern Australia. It was only known from two specimens, the holotype found in Newport in 1907, and the other specimen collected in Manly the following year, with no individuals being found since. It was declared extinct by the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 in 2000 and by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2020.

# Persoonia laxa

***Persoonia laxa*** is an extinct shrub of the family Proteaceae native to the Sydney region in eastern Australia. It was only known from two specimens, the holotype found in Newport in 1907, and the other specimen collected in Manly the following year, with no individuals being found since. It was declared extinct by the *Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999* in 2000 and by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2020.

## Description

*Persoonia laxa* grew as a spreading or prostrate shrub with smooth bark. The flat leaves were 8–15 mm long and 1–1.8 mm wide and linear in shape. The leaf margins were recurved. The new growth is covered in sparse hairs. *P. laxa* is described as auxotelic, which means each stalk bears an individual flower that is subtended by a leaf at its junction with the stem. Known as pedicels, these smooth and measure 6–8 mm in length. The flowers occur in groups of one to three. Each individual flower consists of a cylindrical perianth, consisting of tepals fused for most of their length, within which are both male and female parts. The tepals are 8–9 mm (0.31–0.35 in) long and smooth on the outside. The central style is surrounded by the anther, which splits into four segments; these curl back and resemble a cross when viewed from above.

Because of limited observation prior to its extinction, little is known about its flowering and fruit.

## Taxonomy

Two specimens of *P. laxa* were collected in what are now Sydney's Northern Beaches—one from Newport in November 1907 and the other from Manly in June 1908. The genus was reviewed by Peter Weston for the *Flora of Australia* treatment in 1995, and *P. laxa* was placed in the *Lanceolata* group, a group of 54 closely related species with similar flowers but very different foliage. These species will often interbreed with each other where two members of the group occur, A third specimen, collected in 1922 from Dee Why, appears to be intermediate between (and is possibly a hybrid of) *P. laxa* and *P. levis*.

## Distribution and habitat

Occurring in Newport and Manly in central-eastern N.S.W, *P. laxa* was thought to have been a component of heath or dry sclerophyll eucalypt woodland or forest on sandstone soils, or possibly in sandy soils on the coast. *P. laxa* grew at an altitude of 0–20 m with an annual rainfall of 1200–1400 mm.

## Extinction

*Persoonia laxa* is listed as extinct on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and under the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The reasons are unknown, though the area in which it was found has become very urbanised, causing the clearance of its habitat for land development, likely resulting in the species' demise.

It is an erect shrub to small tree with smooth bark on the branches, narrow elliptic to lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and yellow flowers in groups of six to twenty-two on a rachis 30–160 mm (1.2–6.3 in) long.

## Description

*Persoonia katerae* is an erect shrub to small tree that typically grows to a height of about 2.5–9 m (8 ft 2 in – 29 ft 6 in) and has finely fissured bark near the base, smooth bark above. Its young branchlets are covered with greyish hairs. The leaves are narrow elliptical to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 60–170 mm (2.4–6.7 in) long and 8–22 mm (0.31–0.87 in) wide, sometimes with a few hairs mainly on the edges. The flowers are arranged in groups of six to twenty-two along a rachis 30–160 mm (1.2–6.3 in) long that grows into a leafy shoot after flowering. Each flower is on a pedicel about 35 mm (1.4 in) long and the tepals are yellow, 9–12 mm (0.35–0.47 in) long and hairy on the outside. Flowering occurs from January to February and the fruit is a green drupe, sometimes suffused with purple.

## Taxonomy

*Persoonia katerae* was first formally described in 1991 by P.H.Weston & L.A.S.Johnson in the journal *Telopea* from specimens collected near Boomerang Beach in 1988.

## Distribution and habitat

This geebung grows in heath and forest on coastal sand between the Hastings River and Myall Lakes in coastal New South Wales.

In writing for Allmusic, critic Brian Olewnick praised Hawkins' passionate and inventive playing style, saying "Hawkins manages to wring some tasty juice from an area, post-Hendrix rock guitar, that most would have considered long since dry." In 2006, *The Wire* described *Halo* as "a criminally overlooked post-Metal masterpiece" and called Hawkins "a master of oceanic reverb and sustain, turning riffs from concrete slabs to gentle, body-caressing ripples."

title: Peter Doig (trade unionist)

abstract: Peter Doig was a Scottish trade union leader. Born in Glasgow, Doig served his apprenticeship as a draughtsman at John Brown and Company in Clydebank. He emigrated to United States where he found work as a ship designer, but returned to the UK, and worked at Harland & Wolff in Belfast. he then emigrated to Shanghai, and became a chief draughtsman there. Doig began suffering from poor health, leading to a permanent disability. He returned to the UK during World War I, and worked for William Beardmore and Company in Dalmuir. In 1916, he joined the recently-formed Association of Engineering and Shipbuilding Draughtsmen (AESD). He acted on behalf of colleagues in a dispute about overtime pay, which was won. This raised his profile in the union, and he was elected to its council in 1917, serving on its statistical sub-committee. In December 1917, the AESD decided to, for the first time, appoint a full-time general secretary. Doig stood for the post, defeating T. C. Dickie, W. Herd, W. MacFarlane and David Manktelow, and taking up the position in January 1918. The union grew greatly under his leadership; by the time he retired on health grounds in 1945, it was a force in the engineering and shipbuilding industries. In his spare time, Doig studied astronomy and wrote books on the subject.

**Hampton Water Treatment Works** are water treatment works located on the River Thames in Hampton, London. Built in the second half of the 19th Century to supply London with fresh water, the Waterworks was in the past a significant local employer, and its brick pumphouses dominate the local landscape.

The Waterworks currently has a maximum output of 700 megalitres a day, and supplies ~30% of London's fresh water.

## History

Construction of the Waterworks began in the 1850s as a joint venture of the Grand Junction Waterworks Company, the Southwark and Vauxhall Waterworks Company, and the West Middlesex Waterworks Company, following the passage of the 1852 Metropolis Water Act, which made it unlawful to take drinking water from the tidal Thames below Teddington Lock because of the amount of sewage in the tidal river. The original works were designed by Joseph Quick and J.W. Restler, and initially comprised sand filter beds to remove suspended solids from the river water, and three massive engine pump houses constructed in Gault brick, with large arched windows and decorative balustrades.

The Ruston pumphouseThe Beam and Store buildingsThe Morelands buildingThe Riverdale pumphouseThe main pumphouses of Hampton Waterworks (roughly west to east)

The site was expanded in the 1860s with additional filtration, water storage and steam driven pumping plant built. The last engine house on the site was completed in 1900, and with the establishment of filter beds between Belgrade Road and Rose Hill in the early 20th century (drained in the 1990s to become Hampton Green), the Waterworks came to dominate the southern and western sides of Hampton. The various water companies were amalgamated into the Metropolitan Water Board in 1902.

Once complete the Waterworks were among the largest in the world at the time, supplying over 400 megalitres a day and requiring over 100 tons of coal for the pumphouses. Coal was supplied on barges unloaded at Hampton wharf and moved by cart to the Waterworks. Difficulties with this arrangement led to the construction of the Metropolitan Water Board Light Railway in 1915. The Railway connected the wharf to the Waterworks and Kempton Park pumping station. The Railway also continued to a standard gauge railway siding at Sunbury station, which allowed for coal to be delivered via the London and South Western Shepperton branch line when the river was in flood or operators were on strike.

## Operations

In addition to water abstracted locally from the Thames the Waterworks also receives water from other sources. Water is supplied via the Staines Reservoirs Aqueduct (built 1902) from the King George VI Reservoir (1947) and Staines Reservoirs (1902) which receive their water from the River Thames at Hythe End, just above Bell Weir Lock. The aqueduct passes, and transports water from, the Queen Mary Reservoir (1924) and the Water Treatment Works at Kempton Park, which used to be connected to Hampton via the Metropolitan Water Board Railway. Water was also supplied from the Knight and Bessborough Reservoirs (1907) and the Queen Elizabeth II Reservoir (1962) on the opposite (south) side of the Thames. The Hampton works is also the starting point of the Thames-Lea tunnel (1960) which transfers water to the reservoirs in the Lea Valley.

The Waterworks conducts a test of its warning siren (to be used in the event of an unauthorised or accidental release of chlorine or other hazardous material) every Tuesday at approximately 9 a.m. The siren is a former air raid siren dating from the Second World War, and is audible throughout Hampton and Molesey.

# Pete Hanraty

**Peter "Pete" Hanraty** was an American politician, union leader, and Scottish immigrant who served as the first elected Oklahoma Chief Mine Inspector from 1907 to 1911.

## Early life

Pete Hanraty was born in Scotland in 1864. At age nine, he began working in the Scottish coal mines. By eighteen, he immigrated to the United States and found work as a coal miner, but was blacklisted from the coal industry in Pennsylvania and Ohio for union organizing. After being blacklisted, he moved to Indian Territory to find work and unionize miners. At the time, Indian Territory was not regulated by any state or federal law making mining in the territory exceptionally dangerous. He led a successful strike in 1898. At some point in his life, he lost both legs in a mining accident. He was elected president of the Twin-Territories Federation of Labor in 1903, and served in the position until the organization merged into the Oklahoma State Federation of Labor in 1906.

## Political career

Hanraty was elected to the Oklahoma Constitutional Convention in 1907 and served as the vice-president of the convention. He contributed most of the sections related to worker's rights. He successfully ran for Oklahoma Chief Mine Inspector in 1907, but lost his 1910 re-election campaign to a primary challenge by Ed Boyle.

## Death and legacy

He died in 1932 in McAlester, Oklahoma and was buried at Memorial Park Cemetery in Oklahoma City. He was posthumously inducted into the Oklahoma Labor Hall of Fame.

# Peter Moore (businessman)

**Peter Moore** (born 1955) is a British-American business executive. He is known for his former positions as senior VP of Global Sports Marketing at Reebok, president of Sega of America, and corporate vice-president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business division, overseeing the Xbox and Xbox 360 game consoles. From 2007 to 2011, he was head of Electronic Arts' EA Sports game division. In 2012, Moore was appointed COO of Electronic Arts. He resigned from EA in February 2017 to become CEO of Liverpool Football Club. It was announced in July 2020 that Moore would be leaving Liverpool at the end of August that year, having completed his three-year tenure with the club.

## Life and career

Moore was born in Liverpool. He holds a bachelor's degree from Keele University and a master's degree from California State University, Long Beach. He worked for Patrick USA, the US subsidiary of a French sportswear company, and then at Reebok for almost a decade. He also was a physical education teacher in Llangollen, for a number of years. Moore recently became a resident of Montecito, California, US.

## Sega

After Reebok, Moore was hired by Bernie Stolar to work at Sega of America. Despite his son owning a Sega Saturn, Moore knew little about video games. However, Moore quickly rose to prominence at Sega, being a big figure in the company's North American operations during the Dreamcast era. On 11 August, Sega of America confirmed that Stolar had been fired, leaving Moore to direct the launch. Moore became the president and chief operating officer of Sega of America on 8 May 2000.

Moore clashed with Japanese leadership. Moore commissioned a focus group of young American adults in late 2001 or early 2002 to get a sense of how they viewed different gaming companies. The focus group revealed troubling opinions about Sega. He took a subtitled tape to present to Sega leadership in Tokyo and later recalled Yuji Naka accusing him of lying and forcing focus group attendees to criticize Sega. Moore asked his interpreter to tell Naka "to fuck off" and resigned from Sega in January 2003. Moore portrayed a zombie in the 2003 film adaptation of *House of the Dead* along with the producer of the original game, Rikiya Nakagawa.

## Microsoft

On 20 January 2003, Microsoft hired Moore to help the Xbox console compete with Sony's PlayStation 2 and Nintendo's GameCube. At Microsoft, Moore gained notoriety for displaying tattoos of *Halo 2* and *Grand Theft Auto IV* that he used when announcing the respective games (the former was used to announce *Halo 2's* release date of 9 November 2004, while the latter was used to announce *Grand Theft Auto IV*). Some sources claim that the *Halo 2* tattoo was not permanent and others have reported that Moore still has it.

Moore also reportedly endorsed the Wii console as an alternative over the PlayStation 3, claiming that for the price of one PlayStation 3 (US$599 at the time), the consumer can buy both the Xbox 360 and Wii.

## Electronic Arts

On 17 July 2007, Electronic Arts announced that Peter Moore would be leaving Microsoft to head the sports division at Electronic Arts. Moore reportedly wanted to move back to the San Francisco Bay area to live with his family, which was possible with EA. His position as vice-president of Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft was filled by Don Mattrick (who later also left Microsoft to join Zynga as CEO).

Moore was parodied in an episode of *South Park*, Season 15's Crack Baby Athletic Association, focusing on the NCAA's relationship with Electronic Arts. On 4 August 2011, Moore was promoted from EA Sports President to the role of chief operating officer in a structure reshuffle.

In an interview with the game press on 20 June 2012, Moore predicted the radical shift of the gaming industry's business model towards free-to-play, saying he believed within 10 years the industry would shift to that model entirely. Under his leadership, games such as *Star Wars: The Old Republic* and *Command & Conquer: Generals 2* changed focus from a single player campaign game into a free-to-play multiplayer game with microtransactions.

On 10 December 2015, Moore was appointed as the "Chief Competition Officer" of EA's newly formed competitive gaming division.

## Liverpool FC

Moore left EA and was announced as the new CEO of the Liverpool Football Club on 27 February 2017. Moore took up his new role, which comprises running the business of the club, on 1 June 2017 and reported directly to the club's owners, Fenway Sports Group. Moore stepped down as CEO at the end of August 2020 with Billy Hogan stepping up from his role as the club's managing director and chief commercial officer. During his tenure with the club, they won the UEFA Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup and the Premier League. Moore was also named Premier League CEO of the Year in 2019. Moore created and funded the Peter Moore Foundation while in Liverpool, supporting such causes and institutions as social isolation, food poverty, cancer research and Alder Hey Hospital and the new Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Liverpool. He, with his wife Debbie, were named honorary Life Presidents of Fans Supporting Foodbanks, a volunteer organisation that collects food for those in need at football matches and various local events.

## Gresford Athletic FC

In August 2020, it was announced that Moore would become the Honorary President of Gresford Athletic Football Club. He previously played as a right back for the club during the 1960s and 1970s, in both the youth team and first team.

## Wrexham AFC

In November 2020, it was announced that Moore would be involved with Wrexham AFC as an advisor to the new owners, actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

## Unity Technologies

In January 2021, Moore was named SVP and GM of Sports and Live Entertainment for Unity Technologies. Later in the year, he was named to the boards of Nifty Games and Motorsport Games.

The city of Campana in the Province of Buenos Aires was founded in 1885 in honor of Francisco Álvarez Campana, owner of those lands towards the middle of the 18th century.

## Biography

He was born in Cádiz, Spain, the son of Bernardo Alvarez Campana y Montes de Oca and Josefa Manuela Vega y Olivera, belonging to illustrious Andalusian families from El Puerto de Santa María and the Isla de León. He studied in his native country and settled in Buenos Aires around the beginning of 1750, holding various positions related to charitable entities, including as Hermano Mayor of the Hermandad de la Santa Caridad of Buenos Aires in 1754. That same year he requested to the Council of the Cabildo authorization for the construction of the Casa de Niñas Huérfanas (School of Orphans). The authorization for the foundation of the home of charity came through the royal cedula of 16 October 1754. He also requested the council to notify the King of the need to build a care home for homeless and an hospital of the Charity in the College The house of orphans had a room with thirteen beds for women, attended by the slaves and orphans of the college.

For the year of 1754, Francisco Álvarez Campana asked the City Council to suspend the bullfights that were to take place during the celebration of the Jubilee. In 1760 Campana is appointed to occupy the position of Regidor and later as Procurador General of Buenos Aires. He also dedicated himself to commerce, and by 1765 he installed a tannery on the banks of Riachuelo. His factory caused serious ecological damages in the area. He was owner of the hacienda known by the name of "Rincón de Campana", where he dedicated himself to the breeding of cattle.

The government of Buenos Aires had confiscated all his properties located in the jurisdiction of the Viceroyalty of Peru. He regained his liberty in 1771, requesting permission of the authorities, to return to take charge of the direction of the Escuela Huérfanas.

He was married on 17 October 1762, in Buenos Aires to Isabel Gil Rodríguez, daughter of Nicolás Gil and Bartola Rodríguez Osorio. His brother, José Álvarez Campana, a knight belonging to the order Order of Santiago, served as alcalde ordinario of Veracruz in 1737.

On 18 April 1875, the brothers Eduardo and Luis Costa founded the town of Campana (Buenos Aires Province) in honor of Francisco Álvarez Campana, who was the first owner of these lands in 1757.

title: La Salve

abstract: La Salve is a quarter in the 2nd district of the city of Bilbao, Spain. It gains its name from the fact that sailors, returning from sea, would first see the tower of the Basilica of Begoña at this point as ships returned up the river Nervión, which runs through the city. According to folklore, they would start praying to the Virgin Begoña, the patron saint of the region, thanking her for protecting them during their time at sea. Today, the main landmark of the area is La Salve Bridge, popular name for the Princes of Spain cable-stayed bridge, built in the 1970s to provide a northern access over the river to the city. This bridge gained popularity when the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao was built right under it, literally merging its structure into the museum's.

# HIV/AIDS in Bolivia

**HIV/AIDS in Bolivia** has a less than 1 percent prevalence of Bolivia's adult population estimated to be HIV-positive. Bolivia has one of the lowest HIV prevalence rates in the Latin America and Caribbean region.

## Prevalence

Bolivia’s first case of HIV was diagnosed in 1985. Since then, the epidemic has been largely concentrated in groups of men who have sex with men (MSM). In May 2007, the Government of Bolivia reported a total of 2,464 cases of HIV since the beginning of the epidemic. UNAIDS, which included estimates of unknown cases, reported in 2005 that 7,000 people in Bolivia were HIV-infected, but estimates vary widely between 3,800 and 17,000 people.

## Transmission

HIV prevalence rates in Bolivia are highest among MSM, who had infection levels of 15 percent in La Paz and nearly 24 percent in Santa Cruz, according to a 2005 report cited by UNAIDS. Homeless boys and girls also appear to be vulnerable to HIV infection. A recent study of street youth in Cochabamba found that 3.5 percent were HIV-positive. In part because of governmental regulation that requires sex workers to regularly visit sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinics for checkups, HIV rates among sex workers have remained low. Patterns from other countries in the region suggest that Bolivian sex workers may be another population at risk for HIV/AIDS.

Several factors put Bolivia in danger of a wider HIV/AIDS epidemic, including high levels of migration from rural to urban areas, and social norms that encourage men to have multiple sexual partners. In the 2003 Bolivia Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), 23 percent of single men aged 15 to 49 had multiple sex partners in the preceding 12 months, which puts them and their sex partners at risk for HIV/AIDS. There is a lack of basic knowledge and information about the disease, with 24 percent of women aged 15 to 49 reporting that they have never heard of the disease.

High rates of violence, including sexual abuse, contribute to the spread of the disease. Many false beliefs persist, with 45 percent of those surveyed in the DHS maintaining that a person who looks healthy cannot have HIV. Compounding these issues are stigma and discrimination against HIV-infected individuals and at-risk groups and limited resources at the public and private levels.

## National response

The Government of Bolivia has made a political commitment to confront the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Its allocation of resources to its national STI/HIV/AIDS program has been uneven, and sustainability is not guaranteed. The low levels of HIV funding are due to the limitations of Bolivia’s health system, which reaches only about 70 percent of the population, and the more immediate threats of other infectious diseases – tuberculosis, malaria, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, dengue fever, and yellow fever – that demand the majority of Bolivia’s health funds.

The government consistently signals its dedication to confronting the epidemic. The most recent example is the joint signing in February 2007 of an agreement to implement the Adoption of Attitudes and Practices to Prevent HIV-AIDS at the Interior of the Armed Forces project by the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Health and Sports, the Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces, and UNAIDS.

Bolivia has been able to mobilise support from the international community, and a large proportion of its funding comes from external sources. For instance, the UN Theme Group and the UNAIDS Country Coordinator support projects targeting vulnerable populations. Coverage of HIV services to vulnerable groups is low, reaching only 3 percent of MSM and 30 percent of sex workers. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria targets HIV-infected and -affected individuals in nine provinces for integral care, including anti-retroviral treatment (ART); laboratory and psychological support; and treatment of opportunistic illnesses. Currently, ART reaches only 24 percent of the target population of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).

Bolivia is a partner in the Brazil+7 initiative, a UNICEF-, UNAIDS-, and Brazilian-led effort dedicated to expanding HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care for pregnant women and young people; to offering universal access to ART for PLWHA; and to ensuring universal access to services for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT). The other partner countries are São Tomé and Príncipe, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and East Timor.
