# LaFayette Motors

The **LaFayette Motors Corporation** was a United States–based automobile manufacturer. Founded in 1919, LaFayette Motors was named in honor of the Marquis de la Fayette, and LaFayette autos had a cameo of the Marquis as their logo.

## History

LaFayette was originally headquartered in Mars Hill, Indianapolis, Indiana, and made luxury motor cars, beginning in 1920. LaFayette innovations include the first electric clock in an auto. However, the V8-powered LaFayette cars had low sales given their price of $5,000 when introduced in 1920.

In 1921, Charles W. Nash became president of LaFayette. Nash was already president of Nash Motors, but for a time the two brands remained separate companies, although Nash Motors was the principal LaFayette Motors stock holder. The LaFayette was considered a halo marque.

In early 1920s, there was speculation about a merger of Pierce-Arrow with LaFayette, Rolls-Royce, or General Motors. A proposed merger with LaFayette did not occur in 1924. Ultimately, Studebaker took control of Pierce-Arrow in 1928.

In 1922, LaFayette's facilities were moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

In 1924, Nash Motors became full owner of LaFayette Motors, and the name was retired soon after. Its factories were quickly put to a new, more profitable use: the manufacture of Ajax motor cars.

In 1934, Nash re-introduced the LaFayette name, this time for a line of smaller, less expensive models. Marketed at as “LaFayette Built By Nash", the cars included some Nash high-end features. They were well-engineered with "conservatively attractive" styling by Alexis de Sakhnoffsky. However, sales of the popular-priced cars did not meet expectations due to the general economic situation during the Great Depression.

In 1935, Nash introduced a series known as the "Nash 400" to fill the perceived price gap between the LaFayette and the Nash.

It was determined that this perceived gap was not so important, and that Nash Motors was marketing too many models. The LaFayette and the Nash 400 were combined into a single model called the Nash LaFayette 400 for the 1937 model year. The LaFayette ceased to be regarded as a separate make of car. The base price of $595 was competitive to Ford and Plymouth models. The Nash LaFayette 400 featured a 5-inch (127 mm) longer wheelbase compared to the competition and included an advanced I6 engine with seven main bearings, larger brakes than even the Packard 6, as well as a "seamless one-piece all-steel body" which was the precursor to unitized-construction introduced to the mass-market by the 1941 Nash 600. The 400 was available a four-door sedan, two-door Victoria sedan, three- or (with rumble seat) five-passenger coupe, and a three-passenger Cabriolet.

For 1938, the model became simply the "Nash LaFayette", and the LaFayette line continued as Nash's lowest-priced offering through 1940.

For 1941, the LaFayette was replaced by the all-new unibody Nash 600.

text:
# An Collins

**An Collins** (fl. 1653) is the otherwise unknown poet credited with the authorship of *Divine Songs and Meditacions*, a collection of poems and prose meditations published in London in 1653.

## Background and controversy

Nothing is known of An Collins apart from what can be gleaned from *Divine Songs and Meditacions*, a collection of poems and meditations published in London by R. Bishop in 1653 "compiled by An Collins."

Most commentators have assumed "An" to be a variant of "Anne" or "Ann." Additionally, there are indications within the texts themselves that Collins was a woman. Some scholars have speculated that "An" could be a pseudonym, or "An" could even refer to the indefinite article "an", indicating that the poet's first name was unknown to the publisher. The current critical consensus, however, is that An Collins wrote as a woman.

From further textual evidence, scholars have developed a likely partial description of An Collins. From certain references in "To the Reader", the preface, "The Discourse", and elsewhere, some commentators have speculated that she may have lived in the country rather than the city. It also seems clear that she had health issues or physical challenges that restricted her ability to move freely and that she lived with chronic pain, as when she writes "I inform you, that by divine Providence, I have been restrained from bodily employments, suting with my disposicion, which enforced me to a retired Course of life" ("To the Reader," ll. 1-3).

She does not mention a family, but rather a faith community.

## *Divine Songs and Meditacions*

The individual texts in *Divine Songs and Meditacions* range in style and subject. Most deal directly with religious matters, but there are several pieces, notably "A song composed in time of the Civill Warr, when the wicked did much insult over the godly," that focus on the political environment of England during the English Civil War.

Collins' style has interested scholars and there has been some work done analyzing the metric forms of *Divine Songs*, such as the usage of Rime royal in *The Preface*. Collins' collection also has historical significance: it is one of the first collected volumes of women's poetry from the seventeenth century, and it provides a glimpse into the life of a woman writer, as well as insight into the political, social, and religious landscape of seventeenth-century England. Several critics discuss her work in the context of the seventeenth-century tradition of the spiritual autobiography

## Religious and political views

There has been considerable writing on the subject of An Collins' political and religious beliefs. Early commentators describe her as "a quietist devotional writer," withdrawn from the world. More recent commentators, however, have found a more complicated writer.

Ostovich and Sauer write that, "An Collins' religious beliefs have been variously defined as anti-Puritanical, Calvinist, Catholic, anti-Calvinist, and Quaker..." All of these aspects have been seen in *Divine Songs*. *The Discourse* presents a standard primer on Protestant teachings, and its focus on sin has led some critics to speculate that the author may have been a Calvinist. However, the general lack of focus on predestination in the collection makes this possibility less persuasive. Some scholars have put forth the idea that *Divine Songs and Meditacions* demonstrates a tendency towards Catholicism. In particular, Collins' "meditacions" appear to follow the "Short Method for Meditation" put forth by the Catholic Bishop of Geneva, Francis de Sales, author of the popular *Introduction a la Vie Devote*, which had three separate English editions by 1613. Ultimately, there is no critical consensus about which tradition of Christianity Collins likely professed.

As with her religious beliefs, there has also been speculation about Collins' political positions. She has been variously described as "critical of sectaries and Independents, pro-Commonwealth, opposed to the radical wing of Parliament, anti-Commonwealth, and Royalist."

## Legacy and influence

The largest barrier to Collins' influence has been the limited availability of her work. There is only one copy of the original work extant, located at the Huntington Library, which would indicate limited circulation at the time of publication. However, there have been three modern editions to date: Stewart’s facsimile edition (1961), Gottlieb’s annotated and modernized text (1996), and a newer facsimile edition (2003) introduced by Robert C. Evans, so *Divine Songs and Meditacions* has become available to new generations of readers and scholars.

title: Walter Plunkett

abstract: Walter Plunkett was a prolific costume designer who worked on more than 150 projects throughout his career in the Hollywood film industry. Born in Oakland, California, Plunkett studied law at the University of California, where he was a member of the California-Alpha chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, but showed greater interest in the school's theatrical group. He moved to New York City in 1923 and began work as a stage actor as well as a costume and set designer. After some time in Greenwich Village, he moved back to California, this time to Hollywood, and found work as a movie extra. He soon made a career change to costume and wardrobe. Plunkett's first credited work as a costume designer was the 1927 film Hard-Boiled Haggerty. At RKO, he developed a huge costume and wardrobe department that became a major studio asset. Given free rein, he set about creating costumes that rivaled the work of his contemporaries, such as Travis Banton and Adrian. Plunkett's best-known work is featured in two films, Gone with the Wind (1939) and Singin' in the Rain (1952), in which he lampooned his initial style of the Roaring Twenties. In 1951, Plunkett shared an Academy Award for Best Costume Design with Orry-Kelly and Irene Sharaff for An American in Paris. Plunkett retired in 1966, after having worked in films, on Broadway, and for the Metropolitan Opera. He spent the last years of his life with his long-term partner, Lee, whom he formally adopted so that he could inherit his estate. He died at age 79 in Santa Monica, California.

Kibet was the sole runner selected to represent the Netherlands at the 2010 IAAF World Cross Country Championships and she finished in tenth place in the senior race. Later in the season she ran in the 10,000 m at the 2010 European Athletics Championships, but just missed out on the medals by finishing fourth behind Jéssica Augusto. She won the Dam tot Damloop in September 2010, running the fastest 10-mile time of the season (51:30), and beating her aunt Lornah Kiplagat. At the Frankfurt Marathon in October she ran a personal best time of 2:26:23, which was only enough for sixth in the quick race.

Her first race of 2011 was again the RAK Half Marathon, but she was a minute slower than the previous year and came sixth. She had a much better performance at the Rotterdam Marathon in April, where she came second with a personal best run of 2:24:27 hours just behind Philes Ongori. She was the first Dutch runner to finish at the Montferland Run in December, placing third overall.

Kibet attempted a third career win at the Egmond Half Marathon, but finished in third place. She claimed victory at the Göteborgsvarvet in May with a run of 1:09:27 hours, then came third at the New York Mini 10K a month later. She was chosen to run the marathon at the 2012 London Olympics and she managed 24th place with her time of 2:28:52 hours. Her season's best run came at the Turin Marathon, where she ran 2:25:46 as the runner-up behind Sharon Cherop, who broke the course record.

She set a new best for the half marathon with a run of 67:59 minutes for fourth at the Roma-Ostia Half Marathon in February 2013. She was the fastest athlete at the Rotterdam Marathon with her third-place finish in 2:26:42 hours.

# North White Plains station

**North White Plains station** is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line, located in the North White Plains neighborhood of White Plains, New York. It is the north terminal for most trains that run local to the south and, until 1984, was the northern limit of electrification.

## History

North White Plains station was originally built in 1972 by the Penn Central Railroad as a replacement for the former New York Central Railroad-built Holland Avenue station, a low-level northbound-only side platform located near the south end of the current station. It contained both high-level and low-level platforms, until electrification was expanded north of the station. Once Penn Central was dissolved in 1976, Conrail took responsibility for commuter service, until the Metropolitan Transportation Authority officially established Metro-North Railroad in 1983, making the station and the line part of the new railroad.

With the extension of electrification in 1984 to Brewster North, this was no longer the northern limit of electrification on the Harlem Line.

On October 5, 2015, MTA opened a new five story parking garage for the station at the southeast corner of Bond Street and Haarlem Avenue.

## Station layout

The station has two slightly offset high-level island platforms, each 12 cars long. Adjacent to the station is a yard/support facility for trains, one of two on the line (Southeast is the other).

# Robert M. Holley

**Robert M. Holley** (July 1913 – January 4, 1977) was a well-known U.S. cartoonist, commercial artist, and advertising executive.

## Career

A native of Oklahoma, Holley dropped out of college in Florida at the age of 19, and a year later took his new wife to New York City (NYC) in the worst days of the Depression. Once there he studied at the Art Students League of New York (1933–36) and the George Pearse Ennis School of Painting (1933). Within a few years, he landed a job with the newly published *Esquire* magazine and soon became one of its favorites with his series of risque rooster / hen barnyard cartoons. A portfolio of seventeen of his creations appeared in the *Esquire* centerfold in the October 1940 issue.

In the late 1930s, he joined illustrator Sol Immerman to organize what was prior to 1942 known as the Immerman-Holley Art Studio. Through the mid 1940s the studio, employing several artists, and operating with the logo **IM-HO**, produced art for more than 200 sheet music covers; many of the tunes were popular patriotic WWII songs. At one time, it was estimated that IM-HO was doing art for scores of different music publishers and had 80% of the cover illustration business. Studio associate and prolific illustrator H. Lawrence Hoffman also worked with Immerman to produce a flood of cover art for paperback novels.

By 1944, Holley opened his own NYC advertising and graphic arts business—Robert Holley Associates, and by 1947, Robert Holley & Co, Inc. An avid jazz enthusiast, some of Holley's first clients were musical instruments companies which he had attracted through his knowledge of, and close friendship with, many NYC musicians. Most notable amongst these was cymbal manufacturer Avedis Zildjian Company, an advertising account he held until his death in 1977.

In 1954, Holley joined the New York branch of the McCarty Co. and was a Vice President there until 1959 at which time he established the Holley-Thomas Advertising Co. The latter operated in NYC until 1971 when it moved to Williston Park, NY. Following his infatuation with automobiles, second only to that for jazz, Holley's notable accounts included British Motor Corporation (MG, Austin-Healey, and Morris Minor) and Lucas Automotive.

## Personal life

Robert Holley was born in Stigler, Oklahoma in July 1913, son of Chester Orville Holley and Marguerite Keenan. Robert's father was an educator, and by 1926 was Florida's State Supervisor of Trade & Industrial Education. Robert became a teenager in Tallahassee, and by the time he was only 17 he established his own sign shop at a downtown location. He attended the University of Florida for about six months in 1930-31 and was initiated as a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon social fraternity. To save up for his NYC venture, during summer months and while he was courting his sweetheart, he moved from one tiny south Georgia town to another creating one-of-a kind movie advertising posters for local theaters.

Holley eloped from Tallahassee with his student's fiancé one night in January 1933 and married at the tiny Wakulla Co., Courthouse in Crawfordville, FL. In the process, he managed to get his bride suspended from Florida State College for Women (FSCW). Holley's love was Mary Lee Askew (1913–1995), daughter of a lumber/citrus entrepreneur from Bartow/Lakeland, FL. They had two children—Robert in 1940 and Mary Lee in 1945.

text:
# Treaty of Bonn

On 7 November 921, the **Treaty of Bonn**, the text of which calls itself a "pact of friendship" (*amicitia*), was signed between Charles III of France and Henry I of Germany in a minimalist ceremony aboard a ship in the middle of the Rhine not far from Bonn. The use of the river, which was the border between their two kingdoms, as a neutral territory had extensive Carolingian precedents and was also used in classical antiquity and in contemporary Anglo-Saxon England.

## Terms

The treaty, which "more than most such amicitiae, was decidedly bilateral, reciprocal and equal", recognised the border of the two realms and the authority of their respective kings. It confirmed the legitimacy of Henry's election by the German princes and of Charles's rule over Lotharingia through the election by its princes. In the treaty, Henry is titled *rex Francorum orientalium* (King of the East Franks) and Charles *rex Francorum occidentalium* (King of the West Franks) in recognition of the division it made of the former Frankish Empire. Charles and his bishops and counts signed first, both because he had been king longer and because he was of Carolingian stock.

## Effects

The treaty was ineffective. In January or early February 923, Henry made a pact of *amicitia* with the usurper Robert I against Charles, who subsequently sent a legate to Henry with the relic of the hand of Dionysius the Areopagite, sheathed in gold and studded in gems, "as a sign of faith and truth \[and\] a pledge of perpetual union and mutual love" in the words of Widukind of Corvey. Charles probably intended to recall Henry to the terms of the treaty of Bonn and draw him away from Robert. In June 923, Charles was captured at the Battle of Soissons and lost his kingdom. By 925, Henry had annexed Lotharingia.

## Editions

The earliest edition of the treaty of Bonn was published by Heribert Rosweyde, followed by another from Jacques Sirmond (1623). Later, for the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, it was edited by Georg Pertz, but the definitive edition came out later in that series:

* Ludwig Weiland, ed. *Constitutiones et acta publica imperatorum et regum inde ab anno DCCCXI usque ad annum MCXCVII (911–1197)*, MGH LL. Constitutiones 1 (Hanover: 1893),  , no. 1.

text:
# Peter Jebsen

**Peter Jebsen** ( 6 May 1824 – 30 October 1892) was a Norwegian businessperson and politician. He was the founder of Dale of Norway.

## Background

Jebsen was born at Broager in the Duchy of Schleswig. He was the son of Jens Jebsen (1778–1850) and Maren Hansen (1790–1835). Jebsen grew up in the village of Skelde on the Broager Peninsula in Sønderjylland, Denmark.

## Career

In 1839, he began his career working at his brother's manufacturing and trade firm in Sønderborg and subsequently for a brother-in-law in the cloth industry at Hamburg. He moved to Bergen in 1843, bought a river in Ytre Arna for 200 specidaler borrowed money and started manufacturing cloth. As one of the first manufactures in the country, profits gained were high due to protectionism against import of wool. He left in 1844 to study modern textile production in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, France and the UK. He returned in 1848 with sufficient knowledge to start a mechanical weaving firm. His brother Jürg Jebsen opened a wool mill in 1852. The two companies were assembled in 1863 as *P. Jebsen & Co.* and from 1878 as *Arne Fabriker A / S*.

In 1878, he started a factory at the village of Dale in Hordaland. The site offered an ideal place to establish a premium textile production facility utilizing the valley’s natural hydro power. The textile facility, *Dale Fabrikker* (now known as Dale of Norway) was completed in 1879 and has remained active ever since.

His other ventures included shipping, mining in Sunnhordland with Nils Henrik Bruun, a glass mill in Bergen and initiating the water and power utilities in Bergen.

Jebsen was mayor in the borough of Arna and later city councilor in Bergen. He was elected to the Norwegian Parliament in 1874-76 and in 1880-82. He was one of the prime promoters of the construction of Vossebanen railway; personally guaranteeing part of the construction costs. Later he was consulate in Bergen for Saxony, later for the North German Federation and 1871-76 for the German Empire. He remained a member of the Bergen city council until his death in 1892.

## Personal life

He married twice; 1) in 1853 with Anna Uthuus (1829-1870) 2) in 1871 with Sophia Catharina Sundt (1849-1912). He was the father of twenty-three children. His youngest son was industrialist Gustav Adolf Jebsen (1884-1951) His descendants included ship-owner, Kristian Gerhard Jebsen (1927–2004) and Atle Jebsen (1935–2009).

# Tri sestry (opera)

***Tri sestry*** (***Three Sisters***) is a 1998 opera by Péter Eötvös to a Russian libretto by Eötvös and Claus H. Henneberg based on Anton Chekhov's play *Three Sisters*. It was the composer's first large-scale opera. The premiere at the Opéra National de Lyon, directed by Ushio Amagatsu, was conducted by Kent Nagano, who had commissioned the work. The production was then also shown in Paris, Brussels, and at the Wiener Festwochen festival in 2002. It became an opera played at several European opera houses including the Vienna State Opera in 2016 and the Oper Frankfurt in 2018.

## History

Péter Eötvös was commissioned by Kent Nagano to write an opera for the Opéra National de Lyon. It was to become his first large-scale opera. The composer chose Chekhov's 1901 Russian play *Three Sisters* as the basis. Together with Claus H. Henneberg, he wrote the libretto in German. It was then re-translated to Russian by Krzysztof Wiernicki. The librettists took episodes from the play and arranged them in so-called sequences, each devoted to one character: the youngest sister Irina, the brother Andrei, and the second sister Masha, while the oldest sister Olga and Andrei's wife Natasha are other major roles. The composer wrote the major female characters with the voice of a counter-tenor in mind. The main figures are characterized by solo instruments: flute for Olga, oboe and also English horn for Irina, clarinet for Masha, bass clarinet for Kulygin, bassoon for Andrei, soprano saxophone for Natasha, French horn for Tuzenbach, flugelhorn and also trumpet for Vershinin, trombone for the doctor, percussion for Solyony, viola for the three sisters, and double bass for Anfisa.

The premiere at the Opéra National de Lyon on 13 March 1998 was directed by Ushio Amagatsu. The conductor was Nagano, while the second conductor of the orchestra was the composer. The staging was inspired by Kabuki theatre. The singers of the premiere were Oleg Riabets (Irina), Vyacheslav Kagan-Paley (Masha), Alain Aubin (Olga), Albert Schagidullin (Andrei), Gary Boyce (Natasha), Nikita Storojev (Kulygin), Jan Alofs (Anfisa), Dietrich Henschel (Tuzenbach), Denis Sedov (Solyony), Wojciech Drabowicz (Vershinin), Peter Hall (Chebutykin), Ivan Matiakh (Rodé) and Marc Duguay (Fedotik). The performance was recorded and issued on CD. The production was called the most important new work of the year 1998 ("zum wichtigsten neuen Werk des Jahres 1998") by German opera critics.

Amagatsu's staging of *Tri sestry* was restaged in the 2001–2002 season at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, Opéra National de Lyon, and the Wiener Festwochen in Austria in 2002. It became an opera played at several European opera houses including the Vienna State Opera in 2016 and the Oper Frankfurt, where it opened the 2018/19 season. It was conducted in Frankfurt by Dennis Russell Davies and Nikolai Petersen.

title: Amino-acid racemase

abstract:
In enzymology, an amino-acid racemase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
  - an L-amino acid ⇌ a D-amino acid Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, L-amino acid, and one product, D-amino acid. This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those racemases and epimerases acting on amino acids and derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is amino-acid racemase. This enzyme is also called L-amino acid racemase. This enzyme participates in 4 metabolic pathways: glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, cysteine metabolism, D-glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism, and D-arginine and D-ornithine metabolism. It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate.

title: Georg Busolt

abstract: Georg Busolt was a German historian of Classical history. Busolt, born at Gut Kepurren near Insterburg, was the son of the East Prussian landowner Adolf Julius Busolt (1818–1900). He attended the Gymnasium at Insterburg and studied history and philosophy at the University of Königsberg. In 1874 he received for his dissertation Grundzüge der Erkenntnißtheorie und Metaphysik Spinozas, for which he received his doctorate in the following year, the Kant Prize. Following a research tour of Italy and Greece, Busolt habilitated in 1878 at Königsberg with his work on Sparta.

# Georg Busolt

**Georg Busolt** (13 November 1850 – 2 September 1920) was a German historian of Classical history.

# Nicky Moey

**Nicky Moey** is a Singaporean writer, best known for his collections of horror fiction and thriller stories.

## Early life and education

Moey was born on 26 April 1964. Growing up, he spent his leisure playing marbles, flying kites, catching fighting spiders and keeping a variety of pets, including aquarium fish. He studied at Sembawang Hills Estate School (1971–1976), Raffles Institution (1977–1980) and National Junior College (1981–1982). He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Physics from the National University of Singapore in 1989.

## Career

Moey took an interest in reading when he was fourteen, when he read *The Hounds of Baskerville* by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and began writing stories at nineteen. After graduation, Moey worked as a feature writer in Shusse, a now-deregistered magazine publishing house, for a year.

In 1986 Moey published his first book, *Let's Play Games* to little fanfare. This collection of 13 short stories, which range from horror to crime to fantasy, was in 1990 re-issued as *Pontianak: 13 Chilling Tales*, with higher sales. The Singapore Police commissioned him to dramatise some of their cases, which were published in 1987 in the book, *999: True Cases from the CID*, which was a national bestseller. He was chosen by Times Book International because of his unique and snappy narrative style. This was followed in 1988 by another collection of fiction stories, *Sing a Song of Suspense*, re-issued as *Songs of Suspense* in 1990.

In 1991, commissioned by the Shell Group of Companies in Singapore, Moey wrote their commemorative book, *The Shell Endeavour: First 100 years in Singapore* and a year later had his first novel *Princess of Darkness* published. In January 1994, he published his third collection of fiction stories, *Army Ghost Stories and Other Tales*. His 2003 collection *Lurking In the Dark* comprises three new stories, five stories from *Sing a Song of Suspense* and five from *Army Ghost Stories and Other Tales*.

In 2001, Moey was a featured writer in the Singapore Writers Festival, organised by the National Arts Council.

After a break, in 2014, *The Travelling Companion and Other Stories*, a collection of seven non-horror fiction stories, was published. It was regarded as milder and a "surprising diversion from his usual ghost and horror stories" by book reviewers. In 2017, Moey published *Asian Ghost Stories: and More*, a collection of some of the ghost stories from his earlier books.

Moey is regarded as one of the "most prominent and popular writers of the horror genre in the Singapore literary scene." Cyril Wong has compared his writing on supernatural elements to Stephen King, further commenting that Moey's horror books are good, and "about more existential things and growing up." Other reviewers have described him as having a "mastery of the macabre." His style has also been described as having a "satirist's touch" while weaving his storied with moral lessons through an eye for detail on traditional folklore and cultural superstitions.

## Personal life

Moey is married, and has a daughter, Nicolette Moey. He is a Christian, and his daughter studied in Marymount Convent School for Primary education.

# Tria Platania

During the construction work on the railway line Athens-Thessaloniki, the remains of an ancient farmhouse were discovered at **Tria Platania** (Greek Τρία Πλατάνια, Three plane trees). Rescue excavations allowed a small part of the existing antiquities to be located and examined. The largest part of the excavation site is today under the route of the railway line. A study (published in 2008) examined the remains of olives to determine how the olive oil was produced in the period from the fourth to the second century BC.

## Location

The place is located on the ancient road that connects the Thessalian province of Perraivia with the Macedonian province of Pieria, in the vicinity of the railway tunnel and the motorway exit Platamonas.

## The ancient site

The excavations were carried out in two phases. The first works began in May 1999 and lasted until March 2000. The second phase of excavation began in February 2007 and was completed in November of the same year. Most of the remains of the Tria Platania settlement were destroyed during the construction of the railway tunnel. A farmhouse from the Hellenistic period was discovered; Coins and pottery helped dating the find to the end of the 4th century BC. It is one of the largest ancient farmhouses ever found in Greece. The building had a floor area of approximately 55 m by 42.50 m and extended from east to west. This design was preferred for climatic reasons, as this is the main wind direction. Grapes were cultivated and wine produced. In the northwestern part of the house was an extensive deposit with large clay vessels, the other rooms of the building were smaller.

In the middle of the courtyard, the foundations of a tower were uncovered. Nearby was a well that had been drilled at least ten meters deep. In the northeast of the complex began a wall with a length of 32 meters and a width of 1.20 meters.

The building initially stood only until the beginning of the third century BC. It was destroyed by fire along with its vineyard, as well as the neighboring farmhouse Kompoloi. The cause is assumed to be an attack of the Aitolians. As coin finds from the time of Antigonos Gonatas show, the complex was rebuilt immediately, the north side was replaced and reinforced. The wine production now gave way to the production of olive oil. Coin finds from the time of Philip II indicate that the estate was abandoned at the beginning of the 2nd century BC.

## Memorial

At the train station of the village Neoi Poroi (Νέοι Πόροι) a small memorial was built. Protected by a roof construction, the remains of the storage vessels can be seen there as they were found in the farmhouse.

## The finds

In addition to coins and pottery, a variety of smaller items were excavated.

The oldest of the coins date from the time of the founding of the winery, at the end of the 4th century BC. Obviously, they were hidden during the construction phase because they were under the floor of the building. The most recent coins were found in the rubble of the roof tiles.

As pottery, household vessels of all kinds, remains of amphorae, oil lamps and clay weights for the weaving were found. The clay vessels were often decorated. The clay head of a female figure is the only find of a terracotta statue.

Furthermore, the archaeologists discovered perfume bottles, lead weights, needles, spatulas, bronze and iron nails, an iron key, iron fittings and iron rings. On weapons, daggers and knives were excavated.

# Muriel Gibson

**Muriel Gibson** (born 29 September 1949) was a leading Northern Irish loyalist who was a member of the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF). The organisation was founded in 1996 by Billy Wright. She was acquitted of murdering a Catholic council worker, Adrian Lamph, in 1998, but convicted in January 2007 and sentenced to eight years imprisonment for destroying evidence following the 1998 murder, impeding the arrest and prosecution of his killers, and LVF membership. She was also found guilty of withholding information regarding a shooting, possession of firearms, detonators and pipe bombs.

Her co-accused, LVF leader Jim Fulton, was convicted of directing the 1999 murder of Elizabeth O'Neill, along with a series of other offences, and sentenced to life imprisonment. Their trial, which lasted from September 2005 until December 2006, was the longest in the legal history of Northern Ireland.

## Early years and marriage

Gibson was born in Portadown, County Armagh, Northern Ireland on 29 September 1949 and was brought up as a Protestant. She grew up in Portadown's Brownstown estate. In the early 1970s she met her former husband, William Landry, on hippie camp trips. Together they have two sons, Mahatma and Oddysseus; and three daughters, Rain, Talutha and Aisha. Gibson and Landry divorced around 1999 or 2000. Her sons live with her ex-husband in California.

Gibson was charged with possession of a controlled drug in 1969 at Bow Street Magistrates' Court when she was 19 years old. In 1990, she was imprisoned for a year in the United States for possession of illegal drugs. Upon her release in 1991, she returned to Northern Ireland.

## Loyalist Volunteer Force

Gibson became involved in loyalist paramilitary activities in December 1991, shortly after her return to Northern Ireland from her sojourn in the United States and imprisonment. In 1996, Billy Wright, leader of the Ulster Volunteer Force's (UVF) Mid-Ulster Brigade, formed the breakaway group, the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF). This came about when Wright and the Mid-Ulster's Portadown unit were stood down by the UVF's Brigade Staff (Belfast leadership) following the unsanctioned killing of a Catholic taxi driver, Michael McGoldrick, by the Mid-Ulster Brigade while the UVF were on ceasefire. Expelled from the UVF and threatened with execution, Wright defied the Belfast leadership and took most of the officially-disbanded Portadown unit with him, including brothers Mark "Swinger" Fulton and Jim Fulton. Gibson also became a member of the new loyalist paramilitary organisation. In June 1997 the LVF was proscribed by the British Government and six months later, Wright was shot dead at the Maze Prison by the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA); Gibson acted as one of Wright's pallbearers at his funeral. Following Wright's assassination, Mark Fulton took over as the LVF's leader.

On 21 April 1998, 29-year-old Catholic council worker, Adrian Lamph was killed outside Fair Green Amenity Centre in Portadown. He was shot in the head at close range by an LVF gunman on a mountain bike wearing a red scarf over his face. The shot allegedly hit Lamph between the eyes and blew his head off. Gibson later claimed she came upon the naked gunman in an alleyway. She took away the gun used in the shooting and hid it, while another LVF member burned his clothing to destroy evidence. She also arranged for the bike to be thrown into the river. Lamph was the last victim of the LVF before they called a ceasefire in May 1998. In 1999, Gibson got into a violent street altercation with Mid-Ulster UVF brigadier Richard Jameson, who slapped her forcefully in the face after he had accused her of involvement in drugs. She left Northern Ireland the same year along with two of her daughters, and transferred to England. She first took up residence at a bed-and-breakfast in Plymouth, Devon but shortly afterwards moved to Cornwall. Immediately after her arrival in England she was put under police surveillance. The following January, Jameson was shot dead by the LVF outside his home in Portadown. In March 2000, Fulton was deported from the United States for breaches of immigration laws and went to live in Plymouth.

## Arrest and imprisonment

In June 2001, Gibson and her two daughters, Rain and Talutha Landry were arrested in Cornwall, where she had been living, following taped conversations the three women had with Fulton and undercover police officers in which they boasted about their involvement in various LVF-related attacks and revealed the names of the perpetrators. She also admitted to having extorted money by threatening the owners and workers of local Portadown building sites and bars. Gibson had returned from a holiday in Portugal when she was arrested and brought from Cornwall to London for questioning. After four days, she and Rain were flown to Northern Ireland where they faced charges relating to terrorism. Talutha was eventually released by the London police without having been charged. At the Craigavon Magistrates Court, Gibson was accused of the murder of Adrian Lamph and Rain was charged with an arson attack and causing an explosion. Gibson pleaded not guilty, while Rain refused to answer the plea.

When Mark Fulton was found dead in Maghaberry Prison of an apparent suicide in June 2002, Jim Fulton succeeded his brother as the LVF's commander.

Gibson and Jim Fulton were indicted jointly but charged separately. Their trial, which took place at the Belfast Crown Court, lasted from September 2005 to December 2006, making it the longest in Northern Ireland's legal history. Gibson faced a total of 11 charges, including the murder of Lamph and conspiring to cause explosions in the Republic of Ireland, all of which she denied. She claimed in her defence that she had lied to the undercover police officers in an effort to impress them. Her taped conversations with the undercover police officers in England were presented at court. Although Gibson was acquitted of Lamph's murder, she was convicted of destroying evidence, and impeding the arrest and prosecution of his killers. She was also convicted of LVF membership, withholding information about a shooting, and possession of firearms, detonators and pipe bombs. The pipe bombs were used at the 1998 Drumcree standoff and the detonators were to be used in a proposed bombing campaign in the Republic of Ireland in 1997. Gibson had brought the pipe bombs to Drumcree after collecting them from Frankie Curry, an independent loyalist dissident who was noted for his expertise as a bomb maker. She was sentenced by Mr. Justice Harte in January 2007 to eight years imprisonment. Her co-accused Jim Fulton received a life sentence for directing the pipe-bomb killing of Elizabeth O'Neill (a Protestant married to a Catholic) and a series of other offences, including seven attempted murders. Gibson, a grandmother, was incarcerated at the Ash House block of Hydebank Young Offenders Centre Centre in Belfast.

# Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers

**Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers** were a British instrumental rock group in the early 1960s. Their biggest hit, "Can Can 62" reached the British singles chart in 1962. The group toured with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones before disbanding in 1966.

## Origins and career

The group was formed around 1960 by Peter Jay (b. 29 January 1944, Southgate, North London, England), the son of Jack Jay who owned and managed the Windmill Theatre together with several cinemas and nightclubs in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. Peter Jay formed the group while studying at Norwich College. He played drums; other band members were Pete "Buzz" Miller, Tony Webster (rhythm guitar), Mac McIntyre (tenor sax and flute), Lloyd Baker (piano and baritone sax), Geoff Moss (bass guitar) and Johnny Larke (bass guitar). The band never contained the unusual set-up of an acoustic and electric bass, just two electric basses. From about 1962, the group were also noted for their use of coordinated Vox Phantom guitars on stage.

Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers signed a recording deal with Decca Records in 1962. Their first record, a rocked-up version of the can-can music from Offenbach's *Orpheus in the Underworld*, produced by Joe Meek at Decca's studios in Hampstead and entitled "Can Can 62", rose to #31 after entering the UK chart in November 1962. The group released several further singles on Decca in 1963 and 1964, but none became hits. The group were a popular live act and were chosen as a support act to the Beatles on their UK tour in November and December 1963, having previously stood in for the Beatles for one night in February 1963 when the Beatles left the Helen Shapiro tour to record their first album in London. They also appeared on national TV shows including *Ready Steady Go!* and *Thank Your Lucky Stars*.

The group moved to Piccadilly Records in 1964 and released several further singles, with little commercial success. Miller left in 1965, and was replaced by guitarist Terry Reid. After further personnel changes, and billed as "Peter Jay and the New Jaywalkers", the group continued to appear on bills with leading bands of the time, and were included on a 1966 package tour of the UK with the Rolling Stones, Ike and Tina Turner and the Yardbirds starting at the Royal Albert Hall in September 1966. Following the tour, the group split up.

## Later activities

In the late 1970s, Peter Jay, together with his father, purchased the Hippodrome in Great Yarmouth, and gradually restored it as a theatre and circus venue with a circular performing area which could be lowered to reveal a swimming pool. He also took over the lease of the Tower Circus in Blackpool in 1983. Since his father's death in 1985, he has continued to own and manage the Yarmouth Hippodrome. He has also published an autobiography, *Jaywalking*.

Peter Miller became a solo artist, releasing the single "Baby I Got News for You" (credited as "Miller") in 1965. He then concentrated on songwriting and worked as a session musician, before re-emerging as "Big Boy Pete" in early 1968 with the single "Cold Turkey", a track which was later anthologised as an example of freakbeat and covered by The Damned. Miller moved to San Francisco in the mid-1970s, and has since recorded with his band, the Wildcats, as well as collaborating with other musicians in ventures such as "Shig & Buzz". Terry Reid continued his solo career, becoming a singer, songwriter, and guitarist.
