title: Formulary of Marculf

abstract: The Formulary of Marculf is the longest and best preserved formulary from the Merovingian kingdoms. Written in Latin, it contains 92 models divided between two books, the first dealing with royal and the second with private charters. It was compiled in the second half of the seventh century by a monk named Marculf, then over seventy years of age, for a bishop named Landeric. Owing to its fine organization, possession of a preface and good manuscript transmission, it has often been treated as a literary work, quite unlike other formularies.

# SS Octa

**SS *Octa*** was a 1861 built British steamship. The ship had a tonnage of 569 gross register tons (GRT). It was owned by Norwood C. M. & Co. in Hull. On 1 May 1871 the ship was driven ashore and wrecked on Terschelling, the Netherlands. The 19 crew members were rescued.

## Ship details

The ship was built by Earle's Shipbuilding in 1861. It measured 569 gross register tons (GRT) and was 40 metres (131 ft 3 in) long with a beam of 8 metres (26 ft 3 in). The ship had a compound steam engine with a single shaft and one screw that created 70 horsepower (52 kW).

## Fate

On 1 May 1871 she was on voyage from Hamburg to London with a cargo of breakbulk cargo and living sheep but the ship was driven ashore and wrecked on Terschelling, the Netherlands. After the ship stranded it sank. The 19 crew members were saved.

Within a few months the wreck had been broken into two pieces.

## Cargo

Several of the sheep were brought to Terschelling, as well as skins, hair and salted meat. Imports of these goods were at the time prohibited there. The sheep looked healthy and were examined by the governmental veterinarian.

Already shortly after the ship wrecked, salvors had recovered cargo. On 22 May at Terschelling and 24 May at Vlieland auctions were organized to sell the recovered cargo and inventory of the ship including Bohemian glassware, wine, paintings, hundreds bags of sugar, hundreds animal skins.

Om 26 May 1871 the anchor was salvaged. On 30 June 1871 a box of 'tinsel' was found, but turned out to be worthless due to the seawater. A cargo of zinc blocks was also discovered. After two months, of 8 July 1871, a diver salvaged 270 units of tin (later stated to be zinc) of 18 kilograms (40 lb) each. All the broken glassware made it difficult to salvage the zinc. The diver earns 45% of the value. As of 22 July a total of 8000kg of zinc was salvaged. ultimately a total of 1,340 plates of zinc were salvaged. They were sold per 5,000 kg (11,000 lb) on 1 September 1871 in Amsterdam under supervision of Lloyds Bank.

On 2 September 1871 the mast was pulled down.

## 20th-century wreck dives

In 1992, a Dutch diving team dived to a wreck at around the position of the ship shown on a map that was made in 1871. They found an old steamship, with still iron bars as cargo. Some ribs were found, possibly from sheep. The ship had a compound steam engine that had fallen over. In 1995 the wreck turned out to be silted up again. However, some damselfly blocks and refractory bricks from the steam boiler were found at the time.

# The World Is a Game

***The World is a Game*** is the fifth studio album by the Canadian rock band Mystery, which by this point consisted of a duo of Michel St-Père and Benoît David. It is the last studio release with David before his departure the following year.

## Production

### Background

Long time drummer Steve Gagné left the band in 2011, causing Mystery founder Michel St-Père to find a new drummer. While Nick D'Virgilio was working with Cirque du Soleil in Canada, St-Père contacted him about recording the drum tracks for the album as a session musician, to which he agreed. Antoine Fafard, who had worked previously with Mystery as a session musician, recorded the bass tracks and additional acoustic guitars. Marilène Provencher-Leduc played all of the flutes on the album. David Myers of The Musical Box was going to play keyboards on the album, but ultimately did not.

### Recording

Work was started on *The World is a Game* immediately after *One Among the Living* was released. Recording for the album was done in three studios. D'Virgilio's drum tracks were recorded at Chemical Sound in Toronto on October 3 and 4 2011, Fafard's bass and acoustic guitars were recorded at his own studio, Inhus Studio, in England, with the rest of the recording being done at St-Père's/Serge Gangloff's Studio Illusion III.

Recording on the album continued while David was on tour with Yes; David and St-Père would discuss the album over the phone and David would receive MP3s as work progressed so he could make suggestions.

With the exception of two pieces which originated years prior, "A Morning Rise" and "Dear Someone", all of the music on the album was brand new material written shortly after the release of *One Among the Living*.

### Cover art

The cover art for the album was done by Polish photographer Leszek Bujnowski, and is entitled *Rainy Circus*.

text:
# Van Dyke (mango)

The '**Van Dyke' mango** is a named commercial mango cultivar that originated in south Florida.

## History

The original tree grew from a seed likely planted in the 1930s on the property of Mrs. Madeline Van Dyke in Miami, Florida. For decades the parentage of Van Dyke was unknown, though a 2005 pedigree analysis estimated that Haden was the likely parent. The tree began fruiting in the 1940s and was found to have enough potential to be propagated during the 1950s, and by 1955 the Flagg Brothers Nursery had sold several hundred trees. That same year Van Dyke was submitted to the Florida Mango Forum for evaluation.

Van Dyke was recognized for its superior color and eating quality, and limited commercial plantings began in the 1960s and increased over the following two decades. Its commercial potential was considered limited in Florida due to the fruit's relatively small size and susceptibility to internal breakdown, but Van Dyke was later introduced to Brazil and eastern Africa and found commercial success being exported to Europe.

Today, Van Dyke is still sold as a nurserystock tree for home growing in Florida, and is grown on a small commercial scale. Van Dyke trees are planted in the collections of the USDA's germplasm repository in Miami, the University of Florida's Tropical Research and Education Center in Homestead, Florida, and the Miami-Dade Fruit and Spice Park, also in Homestead.

## Description

The fruit is of oval shape with a rounded base and a bluntly pointed apex. Most will have a small lateral beak. They average under a pound at maturity, with smooth yellow skin color and bright red blush. The flesh is yellow with minimal fiber, and has a rich and sweet flavor and aroma. It contains a monoembryonic seed. The fruit typically ripen from June to July in Florida, and production is considered to be good. Van Dyke is moderately fungus resistant.

The tree is a moderately vigorous grower with an open, spreading canopy.

title: Hưng Hóa province

# Hưng Hóa province

**Hưng Hóa** was a former province of Vietnam during the Nguyễn dynasty that located the region what is present-day northwest Vietnam. Its capital was the citadel of Hưng Hóa. The province was taken by French troops commanded by Brière de l'Isle in 1884 from Chinese mercenary Black Flags.

## Background

Before the 15th century, the Black River basin was the homeland of various hill polities and ethnic groups, such as Muang Then and Ngưu Hống of Tai Dam people. Among them, Ngưu Hống was a Vietnamese tributary state. In 1416, the Chinese Ming dynasty annexed Ngưu Hống. In 1431 the Vietnamese king Lê Lợi subdued them and captured the Muang Le leader Đèo Cát Hãn, who submitted as a vassal. Since then, the Đèo clan of White Tai had maintained themselves as the autonomous head of counties (tri châu) of Hưng Hóa region (Vietnamese collective designation for the whole region). They also paid tribute to neighbouring China, Burma, and Luang Phabang.

The Vietnamese tightened their control over Hưng Hóa in the eighteenth century. Both the heads of counties (châu) and districts (huyện) were held by Kinh (Vietnamese) mandarins *tri châu* and *tri huyện.* Hưng Hóa was divided into 44 châu and 163 huyện.

## Reorganization

At the time when the Nguyễn dynasty was established in 1802, Hưng Hóa was categorised as a *trấn* (protectorate). In 1830, Hưng Hóa was reorganised as a province with following districts:

The Deos continued to pay annual tribute to the Hue court to assert their semi-autonomous status while also paying tribute to the Thai court via Laotian kingdoms. The headquarters of the Deos were relocated to Lai Châu. Around 1840s, Deo lord Đèo Văn Trị saw the Hmong people from China migrated and settled on his lands in Lai Châu. When the Yellow Flags from China attacked in 1872, the Deos successfully resisted the invaders and were rewarded by Vietnamese emperor Tu Duc. Deo Van Seng was rewarded as the *tri châu* of Ninh Biên district, while his son Đèo Văn Trị was appointed as the *tri châu* of Lai Châu district. French forces took Hưng Hóa in April 1884. The province therefore had been reorganised many times by French administration from 1887 to 1900. Finally, the last remnant of Hưng Hóa was absorbed by the new Phú Thọ province in 1903.

***Transformers: Prime – The Game*** is a brawler video game based on the *Transformers: Prime* animated series, itself based on the Transformers franchise. It was developed by Now Production, published by Activison, and released for the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo DS in October–November 2012. The game's main storyline sees the Autobots on Earth, referred to as "Team Prime" and consisting of Optimus Prime, Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Ratchet, along with their human companions Jack Darby, Miko Nakadai, and Rafael "Raf" Esquivel, once again facing off against their rivals, the Decepticons, led by Megatron, and attempting to stop them from freeing an ancient and powerful Transformer known as Thunderwing.

## Gameplay

The gameplay has been described as containing "brawler-style combat and diverse driving sequences". There is a multiplayer function, both cooperative and competitive. Competitive modes include Brawl, Energon Match, and Emblem Battle, and up to 2 players can play at the same time, with 2 additional AI-controlled characters; the same character can't be selected by multiple players, including the AIs. The Wii version of the game featured motion controls while the Nintendo Wii U, 3DS and Nintendo DS featured touch-based input.

The game's Story Mode features 13 stages, each with a varying number of segments. Though only the Autobot characters are playable in this mode, progressing through it unlocks the Decepticon characters for the multiplayer mode. There are a total of 11 playable characters: the Autobots Optimus Prime, Arcee, Bulkhead, Bumblebee, and Ratchet, and the Decepticons Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave, Airachnid, Knock Out, and Dreadwing. Cybertronian Artifacts - relics resembling the Spark Extractor from the TV series - are hidden around the story mode levels and unlock pieces of artwork in the gallery once found.

## Plot

The Decepticons intercept a mysterious meteor composed entirely of Dark Energon approaching the Earth, which they anchor to their flagship, the *Nemesis*. The Autobots arrive to thwart their plans, and Optimus manages to destroy the machinery tethering the asteroid, before engaging Megatron in a one-on-one fight. During the battle, a massive eruption of power on the meteor breaks out, which shatters into numerous pieces, separating the Autobots. Megatron orders his minions to hunt them down, while Ratchet, Jack, Miko, and Raf track down their missing comrades and split up, using their Ground Bridge to travel to various locations around the Earth where they landed.

Arcee awakens at a factory outside Jasper, Nevada, where she encounters Airachnid and her Insecticon swarm, who have kidnapped Jack. Though she saves Jack following a chase, Airachnid is able to escape. Elsewhere, Bulkhead is found by Miko in an underground temple in the desert, moments before Starscream finds them as well. After escaping from the collapsing temple, Bulkhead fights his way through Vehicons and ultimately defeats Starscream at some ancient ruins, though he then escapes with Miko. Meanwhile, Bumblebee finds himself taken prisoner at a Decepticon Energon mine, until Raf arrives and breaks him out. The pair then make their way out of the mine, fighting Vehicons and Knock Out, but Raf is kidnapped in the process. At the same time, Ratchet finds Optimus next to a piece of the meteor holding the massive Thunderwing, an ancient Cybertronian and disciple of Unicron, whose sole purpose is to destroy the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Optimus briefly battles and weakens Thunderwing, before the Decepticons arrive, forcing Optimus and Ratchet to flee. While the former is able to escape through a Ground Bridge, Ratchet is captured by the Decepticons, who also retrieve Thunderwing. In exchange for his freedom and the Matrix, Megatron asks Thunderwing to swear his allegiance to him. After Thunderwing reluctantly agrees to the deal, Megatron forces Ratchet to fix him, and begins a hunt for pieces of Cybertronian technology scattered around the Earth, needed to restore Thunderwing to full power.

The Autobots focus on saving Miko, Raf, and Ratchet, and send Bumblebee and Arcee to investigate Decepticon presence in a canyon. They encounter and pursue Dreadwing, who is ultimately defeated and buried him under some rocks by Bumblebee. He then discovers that Dreadwing was searching for one of Thunderwing's components, which is stolen by Soundwave before the Autobots can claim it. Elsewhere, Optimus and Bulkhead encounter Megatron and Starscream at some ruins, who are looking for another one of Thunderwing's components. Megatron makes off with it after a fight with Optimus, who pursues him, but is ultimately lured into a trap buried under some rocks. Shortly after, Bulkhead, having taken Starscream hostage, infiltrates the *Nemesis* via Ground Bridge, creating a distraction that allows Ratchet to escape. After rescuing Miko and Raf, the trio fight their way to the ship's control room, where Ratchet defeats Soundwave, chasing him away. Afterwards, he is able to inform the other Autobots of their whereabouts, so Arcee and Bumblebee arrive on the *Nemesis* via Ground Bridge, and defeat Airachnid and Knock Out, respectively. Meanwhile, Bulkhead is led into an ambush by Starscream, but survives and defeats Starscream, chasing him away. After Megatron and Starscream restore Thunderwing to full power, he betrays them, claiming that his loyalty belongs only to Unicron, and leaves to destroy the Matrix of Leadership, damaging the *Nemesis* in the process, while the Autobots make their escape.

With Optimus still missing, the Autobots track down Thunderwing to an active Dark Energon volcano plain and head there to confront him, but are attacked by Megatron. Optimus then arrives via Ground Bridge and defeats Megatron, before Thunderwing shows up to destroy the Matrix of Leadership in Optimus' possession, seemingly killing Megatron in the process. While Optimus struggles against Thunderwing, Arcee and Jack arrive with an experimental device created by Ratchet, which weakens Thunderwing enough for Optimus to defeat him using the power of the Matrix, which sends him plunging into a pool of lava that destroys him for good. Afterwards, Optimus holds a monlogue, vowing to continue protecting Earth from the Decepticons and any other future threat.

## Development and marketing

Artwork for *Transformers: Prime  The Game* was unveiled at the 2012 New York Toy Fair in February. A debut trailer was released shortly after, in March.

title: Norton Big 4

abstract: The Model 1, more commonly known as Big 4, was a Norton motorcycle made between 1907 and 1954 in various forms. With 633 cc (38.6 cu in), it was the largest and most powerful side-valve engine in the model range and with plenty of low end torque was mostly used to haul sidecars. It was called Big 4 because it was rated at 4 tax horsepower. Mechanically, 'the power output, about which Norton Motors tended to be cagey, was lowly, 14 bhp for 1951'. Approximately 4700 of the nearly 100,000 military bikes made by Norton during WW2 were Big 4 sidecar outfits. Designed to carry two or three men plus their fighting equipment over very rough terrain, the Big 4 was used for reconnaissance and carrying loads of ammunition to the front line troops.

# Norton Big 4

The **Model 1**, more commonly known as **Big 4**, was a Norton motorcycle made between 1907 and 1954 in various forms. With 633 cc (38.6 cu in), it was the largest and most powerful side-valve engine in the model range and with plenty of low end torque was mostly used to haul sidecars. It was called Big 4 because it was rated at 4 tax horsepower. Mechanically, 'the power output, about which Norton Motors tended to be cagey, was lowly, 14 bhp for 1951'.

Approximately 4700 of the nearly 100,000 military bikes made by Norton during WW2 were Big 4 sidecar outfits. Designed to carry two or three men plus their fighting equipment over very rough terrain, the Big 4 was used for reconnaissance and carrying loads of ammunition to the front line troops.

## Civilian Norton Big 4

The first Big 4 machines were civilian versions starting in 1907 with a bore and stroke of 82 x 120 mm. The model was produced for nine years after the end of World War II. In 1948 the stroke was reduced to 113 mm to give 596cc capacity. In 1955 Norton ended the manufacture of side-valve singles to concentrate on overhead-valve twins.

## Military Norton WD Big 4

The WD Big 4 was a development of pre-war trials outfit with a sidecar wheel coupled to the motorcycle rear wheel through a dog clutch and drive shaft. Initial trials were carried out at Studland in Dorset and it coped well with challenging terrain. The simple design also meant it was easy to maintain in the field. All three 18" X 4.00 wheels were interchangeable with various makes of tyres for off-road use.

The sidecar was unarmoured, with thin sheetmetal on the front of the sidecar and there was no sprung suspension in the rear of the heavy duty frame. The sidecar was mounted on four leaf springs, and had two friction disc shock absorbers at the back. The Big Four was eventually replaced by the Ford GP or the Willys Jeep in 1941.

The Big 4 could be equipped with a Bren gun or a 3-inch mortar, bombs could be fitted to a platform in place of a sidecar, but this seems to have been a one-off model, same with the Thompson equipped Big 4.

title: Exchange of women

abstract: The exchange of women is an element of alliance theory — the structuralist theory of Claude Lévi-Strauss and other anthropologists who see society as based upon the patriarchal treatment of women as property, being given to other men to cement alliances. Such formal exchange may be seen in the ceremony of the traditional Christian wedding, in which the bride is given to the groom by her father.

# Exchange of women

The **exchange of women** is an element of alliance theory — the structuralist theory of Claude Lévi-Strauss and other anthropologists who see society as based upon the patriarchal treatment of women as property, being given to other men to cement alliances. Such formal exchange may be seen in the ceremony of the traditional Christian wedding, in which the bride is given to the groom by her father.

## Kinship

The structuralist view of kinship was laid out in Lévi-Strauss' grand statement: *Les Structures élémentaires de la parenté* (The Elementary Structures of Kinship). In this, he combined Mauss' ideas about the importance of gifts in primitive societies with the role of the incest taboo in forcing exchanges of mates outside of closely related family groups. The resulting *exchange of women* is asymmetric in that men have power over women which is not reciprocated. The resulting social structures provide a framework for treating the oppression of women as a social construct rather than being a matter of biology.

In "The Traffic in Women," Gayle Rubin articulated a feminist analysis of kinship, gender roles, sexuality, the incest taboo and taboo against homosexuality, as part of a historically evolving "sex/gender system."

## Biblical patriarchy

Men in ancient Hebrew culture established and negotiated their relations with other men through the exchange of female relatives. This is seen in Old Testament narratives such as the stories spread across the books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings.

## Criminal treatment

In Afghanistan and remote areas of Pakistan, women may be exchanged in compensation for a debt or offence such as murder. This practice is known as *swara*. Pakistan's constitution prohibits this with a penalty of 3 to 10 years of imprisonment but the custom still persists.

## In art

The exchange of women in the course of male bonding appears as a theme in the novels *The Great Gatsby* and *Tropic of Capricorn*. *Indecent Proposal* and other female-barter movies were criticized for promoting this theme.

# Northern Ontario Hockey Association

The **Northern Ontario Hockey Association** (**NOHA**) is an ice hockey governing body for minor, junior and senior ice hockey. The NOHA is sanctioned by the Ontario Hockey Federation and Hockey Canada. The major league run by the NOHA is the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League of the Canadian Junior A Hockey League.

## History

The NOHA was founded in 1919 and that same year became affiliated with the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA). In May 1963, the NOHA applied to the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association to become an equal branch to the OHA. When the request was denied, OHA president Lloyd Pollock stated that measures needed to be put in place to prevent the migration of players southwards to the more populated OHA, and preserve the leagues in Northern Ontario.

During the summer in 1989, the Metro Toronto Hockey League, Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA), OHA and NOHA, joined under the umbrella of the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF). Each organization was given equal representation on its board of governors, which was given the mandate to oversee hockey in Ontario, and be a review panel for three years to propose further restructuring if necessary.

The senior A-level champions of the NOHA and the OHA formerly competed in a playoffs series for the W. A. Hewitt Trophy.

**Former leagues**

## Jurisdiction

Empowered by Hockey Canada, the Northern Ontario Hockey Association governs all Ontario senior and junior hockey not administered by Hockey Northwestern Ontario, Ottawa District Hockey Association, or Ontario Hockey Association. This does not include the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League, which is privately run outside of Hockey Canada and are not affiliated.

The Ottawa District governs the part of Ontario East of and including Lanark County, Renfrew County, and Leeds County, but not including the town of Gananoque. Hockey Northwestern Ontario has control of the section of Northwestern Ontario west of the 85th meridian.

# Gene Green (baseball)

**Gene Leroy Green** (June 26, 1933 – May 23, 1981) was an American Major League Baseball outfielder and catcher who played all or portions of seven MLB seasons for the St. Louis Cardinals (19571959), Baltimore Orioles (1960), Washington Senators (1961), Cleveland Indians (19621963) and Cincinnati Reds (1963). A right-handed batter and thrower, he stood 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and weighed 200 pounds (91 kg).

## MLB career

Born in Los Angeles, Green was signed by the Cardinals in 1952. He spent six full years in the Redbird farm system, hitting over 20 home runs four times, before his recall to St. Louis in September 1957. He then spent all of the 1958 season on the Cardinal roster, setting career bests in games played (137), hits (124), and batting average (.281), starting 71 games in right field and 48 as catcher. However, he struggled in 1959: he got into only 30 games for St. Louis, spent the heart of that season in the minor leagues, and was traded to the Orioles in December. Baltimore kept him at Triple-A for the full 1960 campaign, except for a September call-up and one game as the Orioles' starting right fielder on September 23.

But the American League was adding two new teams for 1961, including an expansion edition of the Washington Senators, creating an opportunity for Green to regain a big-league job. He was the new Senators' 23rd selection (46th overall) in the expansion draft, then led the 1961 club in home runs (18), a personal best, and slugging percentage (.489). He started 75 games at catcher and 21 more in right field. His 62 runs batted in, also a career high, were one fewer than team leader Willie Tasby's 63.

With Washington seeking to improve its ninth-place roster, he was traded to the Indians on October 5, only four days after the end of the regular season; in the deal, Green, veteran pitcher Dick Donovan (the AL earned run average champion), and backup infielder Jim Mahoney were exchanged for colorful centerfielder Jimmy Piersall. In a utility and pinch hitting role for the 1962 Indians, Green hit 11 home runs in just 143 at bats — one for every 13 ABs — and equalled his 1958 batting mark of .281. The following year, however, he struggled to get untracked in Cleveland; batting only .205 with two homers in 78 at bats on August 1, Green was traded to the Reds for catcher Sammy Taylor, and he hit .226 in limited service in what would be his last year in the majors. Green spent 1964 in the minors before leaving the professional game completely.

Gene Green died in St. Louis, Missouri, at the age of 47.

## Statistical overview

Green was below-average defensively in the outfield (.963) and adequate at catcher. He was often used as a pinch hitter during his career. His career totals include 408 games played, 307 hits, 46 home runs, 160 RBI, a .441 slugging percentage, and a lifetime betting average of .267. Career highlights include one four-hit game — two doubles and two singles against the Philadelphia Phillies (June 8, 1958), 13 three-hit games, with the most impressive being two home runs and a single, good for five runs batted in vs. the Indians (June 27, 1961), and two home runs against his old team, the Senators, good for four RBI (August 12, 1962).

# Sacco and Vanzetti (Blitzstein opera)

***Sacco and Vanzetti*** is a 2001 opera by Marc Blitzstein and Leonard Lehrman.

## Development

In 1959, composer Marc Blitzstein began work on what he expected to be his magnum opus: a three-act opera based on the case of Sacco and Vanzetti. The Metropolitan Opera commissioned the opera with a Ford Foundation grant, but the production was canceled in September 1960 by the National Federation of Music Clubs for Blitzstein's membership in the Communist Party throughout the 1940s. The opera remained unfinished upon Blitzstein's murder in 1964. Another composer, Leonard Lehrman, an associate of Blitzstein, finished the work almost four decades later as it premiered in 2001 in Connecticut.

On 27 Nov. 27 1945 in Saigon the Merchant Marine seamen of the ship SS Taos Victory, SS Georgetown Victory, SS Winchester Victory and SS Kingsport Victory held a joint meeting aboard the Taos Victory. The meeting was about if American Merchant Seamen should support French Indochina Colonial actions. To quote: *"THAT WHEREAS, we. as loyal American Merchant Seamen fought and sacrificed for the democratic principles and ideals as outlined at the Teheran, Yalta and San Francisco conferences, to which our country was a signatory; and whereas our Government continues to charter American owned and operated, ships flying the American flag to a foreign government, in this instance, the British Government. At which government, in turn, is permitting the French Government to transport French Colonial Combat Troops to Indochina for the purpose of suppressing the attempts of the native population to establish a free and democratic government of its own choosing, a right that has been guaranteed them at all the Three conferences. "AND WHEREAS, the fact that these troops are equipped with American weapons, clothing and food, that are being transported on American ships by American seamen, make it appear in the eyes of the native populations that our Government is carrying out the imperialist policies of the French and British And then this one: "AND WHEREAS, we, as American Merchant Seamen, as far back as 1936. attempted by strikes and protest to bring before the American public the then dangerous policy that our government was following in allowing certain selfish and greedy vested interests to sell and ship guns, cotton, oil and scrap iron to Japan. Our protests and strikes against this policy were condemned by this powerful and reactionary group.*"

## Ship Wreck

She departed Sydney with 1400 troops steaming to Glasgow in the United Kingdom. She stopped for water and fuel at Fremantle in Australia, Colombo in Sri Lanka and Aden in Yemen via the Suez Canal. On April 30, 1946, just before midnight, *Georgetown Victory* ran aground hard, at near top speed, 100 yards south of Killard Point, in County Down, Northern Ireland, north of Ballyhornan. All of the 1400 Royal Navy and Royal Marines aboard were rescued by a young police constable Eric Bownes who was sent as the only police officer on the scene. From 12 Midnight to 5pm the next day, Eric worked to save the 1400 men. The following day, many fishing boats from the local community cmae to 'loot' the S.S Georgetown and the Royal Ulster Constabulary and authorities contained all the inventory of the ship. The wreck was close to shore so some men were waded ashore with Eric and were brought to the aerodrome. The Irish Cloughey and Newcastle lifeboats were launched on the afternoon of 1 May to help. Winter storms later broke the wreck into two parts. Later, all remaining portable gear not already taken by looters was removed and the ship abandoned. The ship sections were salvaged in 1951 and consigned to the ship-breakers at Troon in Scotland. Parts of the ship are still at 54°18′45″N 5°31′15″W / 54.31250°N 5.52083°W / 54.31250; -5.52083 (*Georgetown Victory*), where she ran aground, now a dive site.

Sadık Rifat Pasha's career was initially in line with the three statesmen of the Tanzimat era. However, the internal competition and the frequent changes of the places of Ottoman bureaucrats at the time, such as the checkers, and especially the foreign powers' intervention prevented him holding office for a longer term.
