# Green Line (SacRT)

The **Green Line** is a light rail transit line in the Sacramento Regional Transit District (SacRT) light rail system. It opened on June 15, 2012, and runs between 13th Street station and 7th & Richards/Township 9 station. The Green Line runs through north downtown to Township 9 in the River District, and is projected eventually to reach Sacramento International Airport. The line only operates on weekdays.

## History

In the 1990s, SacRT started identifying corridors for new light rail extensions and selected an alignment for a new line that would reach the Sacramento Airport from Sacramento via Natomas. Formal planning for the line began in the early 2000s. Construction for the initial segment of the Green Line that runs to the River District began in late 2009 after finalizing environmental review in early 2009. The initial line opened for service on June 15, 2012, with a single new station at Township 9.

In 2016, low ridership on the Green Line and the lack of development at Township 9 led the SacRT Board to consider closing the line in 2017.

## Line description

The Green Line begins at its current northern terminus at the 7th and Richards / Township 9 station in the River District. From there it initially travels south on 7th Street on a single-track. Reaching downtown, the Green Line goes to two tracks at G Street as one-way tracks for 7th and 8th Streets where it joins the Blue and Gold Lines. It then turns westward on O Street, southward on 12th, then eastward in an alley paralleling Q and R Streets, before reaching its southern terminus at 13th Street station.

## Future expansion

As part of the Light Rail Modernization Project, 7th Street is planned to be double tracked, with a new infill station at Railyards Boulevard to better serve the Sacramento Railyards.

The Green Line to Sacramento International Airport (SMF) light rail future extension Project will extend service 13 miles (21 km) to Sacramento International Airport. The agency is currently completing environmental documents for the project. This project was planned to start construction by 2022. As of May 2019, future new Green Line stations, South to Northwest from the existing 7th & Richards/Township 9 Station, are:

* Sequoia Pacific Station *(Optional)*

# Holy Child Academy

**Holy Child's Academy** or "HCA", colloquially pronounced as \[eɪtʃka\], is a secondary school run by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pagadian in Pagadian City, Philippines. HCA is the oldest among the Diocesan Schools of Pagadian and the second oldest school in Zamboanga del Sur.

## Brief history

Founded as Pagadian Academy, a parochial school started by Fr. Jose Ma. Reyes of the Society of Jesus in 1940. The Academy was the second school to open in the Province of Zamboanga del Sur after the Southern Mindanao Colleges. As the first sectarian school, the Academy pioneered Catholic education in the province.

With the departure of the Jesuits from Pagadian, the Missionary Society of St. Columban took control of the Academy until the 1970s when the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pagadian took over. The academy shared the same fate with other Columban-controlled schools; namely, the Star of the Sea High School, Immaculate Heart Academy, and Saint Columban College. The four schools started the now collectively known as the Diocesan Schools of Pagadian with fourteen other schools.

In the 1980s, the Academy became the Holy Child Academy, named after the "Holy Child", also known as the "Child Jesus" or Sto. Niño, patron of Pagadian.

## Campuses

The Academy has two campuses, both in Barangay San Jose of the city.

* High school campus
    + Previously served as the grade school campus of Saint Columban College and later as the Hangop Kabataan Center (Cebuano for "Embrace the Child Center"), a school for children with special needs. The high school campus houses the new high school building completed in 2011 and since August 2014, also the preschool.
* Old high school campus
    + Located beside the San Jose Parish Church.

# Green Line (VTA)

The **Green Line** is a light rail line in Santa Clara County, California, and part of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) light rail system. It serves 26 stations in the cities of Santa Clara, San Jose, and Campbell, traveling between Old Ironsides and Winchester stations. The line connects Levi's Stadium, San Jose International Airport (via a bus connection), Downtown San Jose, San Jose State University, SAP Center, Diridon station, and Downtown Campbell. It runs for 20 hours per day on weekdays, with headways of 15 minutes for most of the day. On weekends, train run at 20 minute headways for most of the day. After around 8pm on weekdays and weekends trains run at 30 minute headways.

## Route description

From south to north, the Green Line starts at Winchester station in Campbell and heads northeast towards downtown San Jose, paralleling the Union Pacific Permanente branch. The Green Line then curves north to serve San Jose Diridon station, then a brief tunnel and sharp turn to the east to serve San Fernando station. After a couple more sharp turns, the Green line joins the Blue Line to serve Convention Center station. The two lines then head through Downtown and North San Jose via 1st Street until the Green Line separates from the Blue Line at Tasman station and joins the Orange Line heading west, passing Levi's Stadium and the future Related Santa Clara mega-development to its terminus at Old Ironsides station in Santa Clara. The whole route takes approximately one hour.

## Owl service

From February 2000 to April 14, 2003, VTA operated all night train service with light rail vehicles (commonly known as "owl service") on a 70-minute frequency between Mountain View and Baypointe. At the time, VTA light rail was the only light rail service in the United States to operate 24 hours a day. The owl service was curtailed in 2003 as a result of mounting deficits.

## Construction history

The route that the Mountain View–Winchester line now runs on is constructed in three different expansion projects: the original **Guadalupe line**, the **Tasman West extension**, and the **Vasona extension**.

### Guadalupe line

The trackway between Woz Way in Downtown San Jose and Old Ironsides station is part of the Guadalupe line, the first light rail line constructed in Santa Clara county. The Guadalupe line opened for revenue service on December 11, 1987 originally running from Old Ironsides station to Civic Center station in San Jose. Champion station was not part of the original line; it was added as intermediate stop as part of the Tasman West project.

Service on this line was gradually expanded south from Civic Center station as follows:

* Service through the downtown mall and onward to the Convention Center station began on July 17, 1988.
* Service between Convention Center and Tamien stations began on August 17, 1990.
* Service between Tamien and Santa Teresa stations began on April 25, 1991.

### Tasman West extension

The Tasman West extension project added the following features to the line as follows:

* Champion station added as an infill stop along the existing Guadalupe line trackway (Station opened March 24, 1997).
* 7.6 miles (12.2 km) of trackway and 12 new light rail stations added between the existing Old Ironsides station and the new Downtown Mountain View station. (Opened December 17, 1999.)
* Baypointe station added just east of the intersection of 1st and Tasman. (Opened December 17, 1999.)

*Baypointe station is no longer served by this line due to a line reconfiguration implemented in August 2005.* * After the completion of Tasman West extension and before the completion of Tasman East/Capitol and Vasona extensions, VTA split the light rail system into two main lines: one line running between Baypointe and Downtown Mountain View, the other between Baypointe and Santa Teresa. Passengers transferred between the two lines at the new Baypointe station. Tasman is now the transfer station.

Tasman West extension was constructed with funds from 1996 Measure B sales tax measure.

### Vasona extension

Mountain View–Winchester contains the entire Vasona extension from San Fernando station to the southern line terminal, Winchester station, 5.3 miles (8.5 km). Vasona extension opened for revenue service on October 1, 2005. It was originally scheduled to open two months earlier on August 1 but was delayed due to a dispute between Federal Railroad Administration and VTA. At issue was whether a waiver was needed from FRA, since the Union Pacific branchline that parallels most of Vasona extension is still actively used on a tri-weekly basis to serve the Permanente Quarry cement plant in the Cupertino Foothills and a lumber yard in Campbell. A waiver was finally obtained on the condition that all light rail vehicles sound their horns at crossings until "Quiet Zone" improvements are implemented. Freight trains are still required to sound their horns. The Vasona extension was also constructed with funds from 1996 Measure B sales tax measure.

### Light Rail Efficiency Project

In 2014, a new storage track and crossover was constructed between Old Ironsides and Reamwood as part of improvements to support events at Levi's Stadium and the future Silicon Valley BART extension.

To provide better headways and service reliability, a second track was constructed between Whisman and Downtown Mountain View. Work began in summer 2014 and was completed in late 2015. Evelyn Station was permanently closed in mid-March 2015 as part of track construction.

### 2019 reconfiguration

Upon the opening of the Silicon Valley BART extension to Berryessa / North San Jose, Line 902 will be split into the **Green Line** (Old IronsidesWinchester) and the **Orange Line** (Mountain ViewAlum Rock). As of early 2019, station signage has begun to reflect the future configuration, displaying line colors rather than terminus icons.

# Holy Child Academy (Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania)

**Holy Child Academy**, also known simply as **Sharon**, was founded in 1864 by the sisters of Society of the Holy Child Jesus in what today is the town of Sharon Hill, Pennsylvania. It closed in 1973.

## History

In the 1860s the Sisters started an educational community in Towanda, Pennsylvania, but the attempt proved to be unsuccessful. At the time the Sisters also administered a night school for working girls in Philadelphia, and they desired to establish yet another school for girls in that area. In 1864, Mother Cornelia Connelly, the foundress of the order, was informed that in Darby, Pennsylvania, an estate called Sharon, home of the Jackson Female Academy, was for sale and that it would be a suitable location for a convent and a school. Mother Connelly promptly purchased the property, and soon after, a group consisting of six Sisters set out from Philadelphia to Darby to staff the order's newest school.

### Sharon

Sharon was located off the Chester Turnpike, today called Chester Pike, a brief walk from the toll house on Calcon Hook Road and set in a wooded and peaceful area. The Sisters were delighted with their new home. Sharon was in essence a miniature village: in addition to the school and the convent, there was also a farm and a dairy. Mother Connelly visited the school within a few years of its founding and was pleased with what she and her Sisters had accomplished.

As the years passed homes sprang up in Sharon's vicinity. In 1890, Sharon and this adjacent area ceded from the town of Darby and incorporated the borough of Sharon Hill. A visit to Sharon Hill today shows that virtually all of its old Victorian homes are located within walking distance of where Sharon once stood, which is now the site of Academy Park High School.

### Growth and change

Also in 1890 a four-story, red brick school building was built to replace the existing structure that had housed the Jackson Female Academy. In 1899, a Gothic-style chapel was added to the campus. Sharon's convent served as the novitiate for the Holy Child sisters until the 1940s, when the novitiate was moved to Rosemont, Pennsylvania.

Sharon was considered to be the heart of the Holy Child order in America. The school accepted boarders from around the world until the 1950s, when the dorms were converted into classrooms. Holy Child Academy was regarded as one of the most prestigious girls' private schools in the Philadelphia area, and when the enrollment reached several hundred students in the 1960s, a new and bigger school was built.

The two-story white and gray modern-style new school was consecrated by John Cardinal Krol in 1963. The red brick school building now served as an expanded library and art room.

### Final classes

In 1969, the announcement was made that enrollment had plummeted and there was a lack of Sisters to teach at the school. No new students would be admitted, and the current enrollment would be phased out. The last graduating class of 76 students departed Sharon in May 1973. At the time, Sister Mary Algeo, S.H.C.J., was principal.

## Post-closure legacy

Though the school was closed, the Sisters continued to live in the convent, but soon the property was purchased by the Southeast Delco School District. By the late 1970s, the Sisters had been relocated to a mansion on nearby Woodland Avenue as well as to a Tudor-style house called the Cornelian House located on nearby School Street across from Holy Spirit School, which was also staffed by the Sisters. The new Sharon school building that had been dedicated in 1963 became Central Junior High School, and the Gothic-style stone gymnasium used by Sharon was now dedicated to the junior high's use, as well as for use by various children's athletic and social groups.

The red brick school building and the chapel were left to languish and soon fell prey to vandals. However, the grounds continued to maintain their beauty and became a popular spot for walking, jogging, and bicycling.

In October 1978, the red brick school building and the chapel were demolished. With the exception of the junior high and the gym, the property would remain vacant until 1984, when the new Academy Park High School was built.

The junior high still stands today, but it was decommissioned in the early 1980s, and the students were transferred to Ashland Middle School in Glenolden. Today the building that had its incarnation as first the new Sharon school and then as the Central Junior High School is now a wing of Academy Park High School. The gym also remains; it was renovated in 2010 and is used as an auxiliary gymnasium for the high school.

The Holy Child sisters continued to staff Holy Spirit School. Because of a lack of religious personnel, the school eventually fell under the administration of a lay faculty and closed its doors in 2003.

title: Richard Talmadge

abstract: Richard Talmadge also known as Sylvester Metzetti, Ricardo Metzetti, or Sylvester Ricardo Metzetti, was a German-born American actor, stuntman and film director.

# Richard Talmadge

**Richard Talmadge** (born **Sylvester Alphonse Metz**; 3 December 1892  25 January 1981) also known as **Sylvester Metzetti**, **Ricardo Metzetti**, or **Sylvester Ricardo Metzetti**, was a German-born American actor, stuntman and film director.

## Early life

Born in Germany in 1892, Talmadge arrived in Hollywood in 1910 and began his career as a stuntman (including a stint with Douglas Fairbanks) before becoming an actor himself. He began starring in silent action pictures in 1921, and began producing his own vehicles in 1923. His last silent feature, *The Poor Millionaire* (1930), was the very last silent production filmed in Hollywood (except for two Charlie Chaplin silent features that were released well after the advent of sound).

## Career

Richard Talmadge spoke fluent English, but with a German accent that became obvious when talkies arrived. Still acting as his own producer, he began starring in lower-budgeted features. His accent didn't matter much in these pictures, which had Talmadge in almost constant motion, doing spectacular stunts throughout the films. During the Depression he gave up his production company and signed with a major studio, Universal Pictures, where he starred in the 12-chapter serial *Pirate Treasure* (1934). Independent producers Bernard B. Ray and Harry S. Webb then signed Talmadge for a series of action features, with titles emphasizing Talmadge's breakneck speed: *Never Too Late*, *Step on It*, *The Live Wire*, etc. These were his last starring efforts.

Talmadge then began working behind the cameras as assistant director, stunt coordinator, and director. His later work included *How the West Was Won*, *The Greatest Story Ever Told* and *Casino Royale*.

## Personal life

He was the stepfather of American polo pioneer and Polo's Grande Dame Sue Sally Hale. His brothers, Otto and Victor Metzetti, both had success as stunt performers, and were members of the vaudeville troupe the Flying Metzettis, (or the Five Metzettis) who were the first to perform the quadruple back somersault in 1917, at Barnum and Bailey's, with Richard as *voltiguer*. The family was close, with brothers Otto, Victor, and Leon working on the Richard Talmadge productions of the 1930s.

## Death

Talmadge died of cancer at the age of 88 on 25 January 1981, in Carmel, California. He is interred at Inglewood Park Cemetery, his grave marked with the name "Richard Metzetti Talmadge".

# Tim Regan

**Tim Regan** (born June 27, 1981) is a former American soccer defender, and coach who currently is the head coach for the Bradley Braves men's soccer program.

## College

Regan played college soccer at Bradley University from 1999 to 2002, where he established himself as one of the best players in the program's history. After starting 20 games as a freshman, Regan was named second-team All-Missouri Valley Conference as a sophomore, after registering two goals and two assists from a defensive midfield position. Regan was moved to defense as a junior, and proved more than up to the task - he finished the year as a first-team All-MVC winner, and the team's co-MVP with Gavin Glinton. Regan remained at defense as a senior and performed even better, winning MVC Defensive Player of the Year while being instrumental in the team posting a 0.81 goals against average.

## Professional

Upon graduating, Regan was selected 17th overall in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft by MetroStars of Major League Soccer. Regan was versatile, but not overly impressive in MLS. As a rookie, he appeared in 15 games, starting seven, at numerous positions in the defense and midfield. Regan received less playing time in 2004, playing in just 12 games. His hard work was rewarded with an expanded role in 2005, as he started 18 out of 20 matches. However, on March 1, 2006, Regan was released by MetroStars. One month later he was signed by his former Metro coach Bob Bradley at Chivas USA where he became a surprise starter.

After the 2006 season, Regan was picked up by Toronto FC in the 2006 MLS Expansion Draft, but later traded to New York Red Bulls (the former MetroStars) for forward Edson Buddle. He was waived by New York during the 2007 season.

In the spring of 2008, Regan trained with Chicago Fire and appeared in a preseason games for his hometown club, but was not offered a contract. Later that season, he would, however, sign a 'one-day contract' with Toronto FC  who were missing nine players to international duty  in order to play in a game against his former club, Chivas USA. Regan eventually signed a deal with Toronto that kept him at the club until the end of the season. He retired following the 2008 season to become Toronto's head of scouting.

He is also a "Soccer Operations & Scouting" instructor for the online sports career training school, Sports Management Worldwide, in Portland, OR.

## Coaching career

On November 11, 2013, Regan was named as assistant coach for Indy Eleven of the NASL. On June 2, 2015, Regan was named Indy's interim head coach, following the dismissal of Juergen Sommer.

Regan served as is an assistant coach for his alma mater, Bradley, under the Braves' head coach, Jim DeRose from 2018 until 2023. He also became the head coach of USL League Two expansion club Peoria City in 2020. In 2023, Regan became the head coach at Bradley replacing the retiring DeRose.

The **Ambulance Operators Association of Nova Scotia** (**AOANS**) was the provincial association representing ambulance company owners in Nova Scotia. The association's focus was negotiating with the Government of Nova Scotia over funding and private ownership of ambulance services. The AOANS was also contracted by the Government of Nova Scotia to provide a training program for ambulance personnel and an ambulance inspection program. Between 1994 and 1999, after the publication of the Murphy Report, Nova Scotia transitioned to a single ambulance service provider. This resulted in the AOANS members being bought–out and their ambulance services merged into the new system. The AOANS was formally dissolved in 2002.

## History

### Early history

Prior to 1968, the vast majority of ambulance services in Nova Scotia were based out of funeral homes. The funeral homes had been the only service available twenty-four hours day with vehicles capable of transporting patients in a horizontal position. In 1968, eight Nova Scotia funeral homes decided to remove ambulances from their list of services provided to their community. Originally intended as just a favour for neighbours, the funeral homes became unable to meet demand. Robert Schaffner was instrumental in forming the AOANS in 1969 and subsequently served as its president for many years. The original 28 funeral home and ambulance company owners who had formed the AOANS, presented two requests to the then Health Minister Richard Donahoe:

* The provincial government takes over ambulance services with the assistance of ambulance company owners.
* The provincial government financially assists existing ambulance company owners in upgrading services and providing real ambulance services to the public.

Donahoe was not receptive to either request, but Dr. Tom McKeough (then Minister of Municipal Affairs) accepted something had to be done. The Department of Municipal Affairs thus provided $300,000 for an ambulance subsidy. In June 1971, due to public apathy and lack of government funding, AOANS voted to withdraw services. After the strike, additional funding was subsequently provided with the intent to increase the standard of ambulance services.

### Post-1990

In early 1990s, the Nova Scotia Department of Health (DOH) administered the contract between the Ambulance Operators Association of Nova Scotia and the Province of Nova Scotia. This contract did not specify standards for response times nor establish levels of medical care to be provided, rather it primarily specified claim evaluation and payment.

In 1993, Cape Breton Island native Dr. Ron Stewart, who had been instrumental in organizing emergency medical services in southern California earlier in his career during the 1970s, was elected to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly and was appointed the Minister of Health. Stewart commissioned several reports on health care reform, one of which – *Report: Emergency Health Services Nova Scotia* (the "Murphy Report") – was conducted by Dr Mike Murphy, the director of emergency services at the Isaac Walton Killam Children's Hospital. It offered a comprehensive evaluation on the state of the province's ambulances. Murphy was critical of the AOANS for primarily being concerned with dictating prices to the government with little concern for standards for response times or levels of care. Stewart stated "No more. It will now be on our terms. The reform will be very deep." The recommendations of the Murphy Report were subsequently adopted and by 1994 the transformation of Nova Scotia's ambulance system had begun, with the provincial government taking over control of ground ambulance operations and consolidating them into a single entity called *Emergency Health Services*.

Before 1995, there were over 50 funeral home, private and public ambulance company owners belonging to AOANS. The ambulance companies had inconsistencies in terms of medical care provided to patients, levels of staff qualifications, the type and condition of ambulances, and working conditions for staff. Oftentimes, the type of care patients received was dependent on where they resided in the province.

Between 1994 and 1999, the contract for ground ambulance services in Nova Scotia was gradually taken over by the newly formed department of Emergency Health Services (EHSNS), Nova Scotia Department of Health. The Department of Health's EHSNS negotiated buy–out terms with each of the AOANS operators in the province. Then a single private ambulance company, Emergency Medical Care Inc (EMC), executed the purchases. All private companies were now consolidated under a single ambulance company for the entire province. Emergency Medical Care Inc is a subsidiary of Medavie Health Services that, along with Medavie Blue Cross, is part of the Medavie group of companies.

The last AOANS board, listed as *1138315 NOVA SCOTIA LIMITED* in the Nova Scotia Registry of Joint Stocks, included Arnold Rovers as President/Director and Lawrence Stordy as Secretary. The *Effective Date of Strike Off* was October 12, 2002.

## Education and certification

Pre-1970, ambulance drivers were not required to have any training to transport the sick and injured in Nova Scotia.

In the mid-1970s, ambulance drivers were only required to have a class 4 drivers license and first-aid training.

In 1980, the first two-week AOANS training program was launched with ambulance attendants being trained to level of Emergency Medical Attendant (EMA)
AOANS, in conjunction with the Government of Nova Scotia Department of Health, was responsible for the Emergency Medical Attendant (EMA) certification of ambulance attendants. This certification was not recognized outside the province of Nova Scotia. Training officers for the AOANS training department included Bob Treat, George Dunne (Lead), Ricky J Smith (Lead), Douglas Denike, Dwayne Semple, Gerry Parfitt, Paul Harnish (Lead),Dan O'Neill, Darrell MacLeod, and Jack Cook. The training department closed in 1996 following the start of the inaugural PCP class at the School of Allied Health, now defunct.

Currently in Nova Scotia, only one institution offers a nationally accredited paramedic course - Medavie Health Services, a branch of Medavie Blue Cross. Medavie subsidiary Emergency Medical Care has been contracted to provide ambulance services in Nova Scotia. Registration to practice as a Primary Care Paramedic or Advanced Care Paramedic in Nova Scotia is overseen by Emergency Health Services NS, a division of the NS Department of Health and Wellness.

**Verdala Palace** is a palace in the Buskett Gardens, limits of Siġġiewi, Malta. It was built in 1586 during the reign of Hugues Loubenx de Verdalle, and now serves as the official summer residence of the President of Malta. The palace was previously a residence of the British governor of Malta, together with the San Anton Palace, and was often used by British sovereigns and other royalty during their stay in Malta.

## History

The site of Verdala Palace was originally occupied by a hunting lodge, which was built in the 1550s or 1560s during the reign of Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Valette. The lodge was built in the *Boschetto*, a large semi-landscaped area that was used by knights of the Order of Saint John for game hunting. The hunting lodge was expanded into a palace in 1586, during the reign of Hugues Loubenx de Verdalle, after whom the palace was named. It was further embellished in the 17th and 18th centuries, during the reigns of Giovanni Paolo Lascaris and António Manoel de Vilhena.

During the French blockade of 1798–1800, the palace served as a military prison for French soldiers captured by the Maltese or British. During British rule, it became a silk factory, but it was eventually abandoned and fell into a state of disrepair. Some repairs were undertaken during the governorship of Frederick Cavendish Ponsonby, and it was fully restored by Governor Sir William Reid in the 1850s. Prior to its restoration it was a temporal minor hospital between 1915 and 1916. It subsequently became the official summer residency of the Governors of Malta. It was included on the Antiquities List of 1925. On the outbreak of World War II in 1939, works of art from the National Museum were stored at the palace for safekeeping. The palace was restored in 1982 and began to be used to host visiting heads of state.

Over the years, the palace welcomed several distinguished guests, including:

Since 1987, the Verdala Palace has been in use as the summer residence of the President of Malta, and it is generally closed to the public except for the August Moon Ball held annually in aid of the Malta Community Chest Fund.

## Architecture

Verdala Palace was designed by Girolamo Cassar, a Maltese architect mostly known for the design of many buildings in the capital Valletta. The palace is an example of Renaissance architecture, and its design is possibly influenced by Villa Farnese in Caprarola.

The building has a rectangular plan, with pentagonal bastion-like turrets on each corner. The building itself has two floors, while the corner turrets are about five storeys high. The entire structure is surrounded by a stone quarried ditch. Although the turrets and ditch gave the palace the outward appearance of a fort, they were mainly symbolic, and the palace was never really intended to withstand any attack. Nonetheless, the palace was still armed with four pieces of artillery on the roof. The interior is very ornate, with frescoes on some of the ceilings.

A chapel, stables and servant quarters are located a short distance away from the palace.

## Ghost story

Verdala Palace is supposedly haunted by the "blue Lady", a niece of Grand Master de Rohan. She was due to marry a suitor who she did not like, so she committed suicide by jumping off the balcony in her bedroom. Her ghost is reportedly seen roaming the palace, wearing the same blue dress she wore when she died; her wedding dress.

## History

### Founding

At the Heiges Radio Electric store, at 91 East State Street, sometime around 1932, the idea to build a radio station in Sharon PA was developed. In 1935, John Fahnline Jr. and George and Al Heiges entered into a contract. Eventually, the *Sharon Herald* newspaper, represented by A.W. McDowel, became involved in the project. Even though the name of the new corporation was The Sharon Herald Broadcasting Company, the station was not technically owned by the newspaper. John Fahnline Jr. and the Herald owned 40% each, with the Heiges Brothers in for a twenty percent stake. John Fahnline Jr. was installed as the president and GM of the station.

On October 25, 1938, the station signed on the air at 780 kilocycles. The opening ceremonies took place at 11:30 a.m.. These were the first words heard on Sharon's new radio station:

> “Good morning, friends---you are now listening to radio station WPIC, the new broadcasting station of the Sharon Herald Broadcasting Company, at Sharon, Pennsylvania operating on a frequency of 780 kilocycles.”

The new station eschewed the standard schedule of radio soap operas and other scripted radio content of the day, concentrating on the start on local news, and classical music, including hourly newscasts, which had been the exclusive province of large-market radio stations at the time. The staff of the station's news wire, United Press International, warned Fahnline, "You’ll never pull it off," but he did. Despite objections, a booth was set up at *The Herald* so reporters-turned-announcers like Johnny Pepe could do news live on the air.

### Move to 790 AM

Around 1941, the FCC put into effect the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA), which moved WBBM in Chicago to the 780 frequency as a clear-channel station. WPIC was moved to 790 in the frequency shift.

In the 1940s, some stations began to add FM stations to their facilities, and WPIC saw the need to expand into FM. It would require a doubling the size of the building and of the tower. An addition was added to the building and a new tower was constructed. The tower was no small project; when built, it would the tallest tower east of the Mississippi River at 547 feet high. On October 25, 1947, WPIC-FM signed on, timed to the anniversary of the AM station's own launch date.

In the pre rock-n-roll era, country music was king at WPIC, including Rockabilly, Blues, Bluegrass, and Boogie Woogie. Bands from all over the region played live on WPIC, with most having their own shows. Early on, country groups like Sons of The Pioneers were big favorites. Hardly any other station had as many live acts as WPIC, and the Mutual Broadcasting System was happy to include many of the live performances that emanated there on its ten station network. One of the biggest regional groups was Woody Wooddell and The Ridin Rangers. When Woody would play, girls would come to the station and look in the windows, just to have a glimpse of this radio star.

### Ownership change

As the fifties closed, Regional Broadcasting based in Meadville made an offer to buy the station, and in November 1959, WPIC-AM/FM were sold for $510,000.

In 1960, WPIC announcer Joe Jansen, in what was possibly a station sanctioned stunt, decide to lock himself in the studio. It was October and Pittsburgh Pirates were playing the New York Yankees in the World Series. Joe decided to play “Beat Em Bucs” for five straight hours. Listeners caught up in baseball fever began coming to the Pine Hollow Blvd. studios in droves. By mid-day, the Hickory Twp. police showed up and said it would have to stop. They pleaded with Jansen to unlock the doors and he was able to keep his job. WPIC-FM's calls were changed to the current-day WYFM in 1973.

### Cumulus Media

In December 1996, Regional Broadcasting sold the stations to Connoisseur Communications owned by 35 year-old Jeff Warshaw. WWIZ (103.9 FM) and WLLF (96.7 FM) were purchased and added to the roster of stations. In 2000, Warshaw sold all of the stations along with 35 other ones to Cumulus Media for $258 million.

Consolidation continued, and Cumulus would eventually buy WHOT-FM and country powerhouse WQXK and relocate them on Simon Road in Youngstown. WPIC-FM left Pine Hollow in 2000.

On December 2, 2016, the historic Pine Hollow Blvd. studios were closed and the station was moved to a new location at 1965 Shenanago Valley Freeway in Hermitage.

# Janie Tsao

**Janie Tsao** (born 1953), née **Wu Chien** (Chinese: 吳健; pinyin: *Wú Jiàn*), is a Chinese American entrepreneur born in Taiwan and hardware engineer. She and her husband Victor co-founded Linksys, a consumer home networking pioneer, and sold the company to Cisco Systems for $500 million in 2003.

## Early life and education

Born Wu Chien (or Wu Jian), Tsao received her bachelor's degree in English literature at Tamkang University in Taiwan. There, she met her future husband and business partner, Victor Tsao. They later married in the United States.

In 1977, Tsao and her husband moved to Chicago, where they attended graduate school. They eventually settled in California.

## Career

### Early career

In 1975, Tsao moved to the United States and accepted a position at Sears Roebuck in information technology, where she worked for more than eight years. Later, she worked at TRW and Carter Hawley Hale as a systems manager.

### Linksys

In 1988, the Tsaos had an idea for a product that would allow multiple computers to share a printer. Janie, then 35 years old, quit her job to start Linksys and the couple financed the company with their savings. They founded the company in their garage. The company's first product was a success and by 1991, it was generating enough profit to allow Victor to also quit his job and work on the company full-time.

Janie Tsao took charge of the company's sales, and was responsible for persuading the major retailers Fry's Electronics and Best Buy to sell Linksys products in 1995 and 1996, respectively. These were crucial breaks for Linksys, quadrupling its revenue to $21.5 million in 1996, and tripling it again to $65.6 million two years later. She developed Linksys' retail channel and oversaw the development of the company's distribution, e-commerce and international channel market strategies and programs. She also developed Linksys's broadband strategy, partnering with cable and telecom companies to "provide high-speed Internet sharing access via wired or wireless solutions to PC users across the country."

In 2003, the Tsaos sold the company to Cisco Systems in a deal valued at $500 million. They continued to work for Cisco as senior vice presidents until 2007, when they retired from corporate life and shifted their focus to Miven Venture Partners, an investment firm they had founded in 2005.

## Recognition

In 2000, Tsao was named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Orange County Business Association. In 2002, she was awarded a BridgeGate 20 award. In 2004, Tsao and her husband were jointly named Entrepreneur of the Year by *Inc.* magazine. She is the 2005 winner of the ABIE Award for Technical Leadership from the Anita Borg Institute.

## Personal life

Tsao and her husband have two sons, Michael and Steven. Through the Tsao Family Foundation, they work with the Center for Asian American Media to produce documentaries "promoting understanding and communication."

# Richard Tangye

**Sir Richard Trevithick Tangye** (24 November 1833  14 October 1906) was a British manufacturer of engines and other heavy equipment.

## Biography

Richard Tangye was born at Illogan, near Redruth, Cornwall, the fifth son in a family of six sons and three daughters of Joseph Tangye (1798-1854), a Quaker miner of Redruth, later a small shopkeeper and farmer, and Ann, née Bullock. As a young boy he worked in the fields, but when he was eight years old he was incapacitated from further manual labour by a fracture of the right arm. His father then determined to give him the best education he could afford, and young Tangye was sent to the Quaker Sidcot School in the Mendip Hills near the village of Winscombe, Somerset, where he progressed rapidly and became a pupil-teacher.

### Career

Tangye disliked this role, and through an advertisement in *The Friend* obtained a clerkship in a small engineering firm in Birmingham, where two of his brothers, skilled mechanics, subsequently joined him. Here Richard Tangye remained four years, obtaining a complete mastery of the details of an engineering business, and introducing the system of a Saturday half-holiday which he had supported on its introduction by John Frearson, the radical Birmingham Engineer. It was subsequently adopted in many English industrial works.

### Tangye Ltd

In 1856, Tangye started business in a small way in Birmingham as a hardware factor and commission agent. His first customers were the Cornish mine-owners in the Redruth district.

In March 1857, Richard Tangye, with brothers James and Joseph, started a manufacturing business in Mount Street under the title of *James Tangye and Bros.* Principally manufacturing hydraulic appliances and particularly lifting jacks, on 31 January 1858, their jacks were successfully employed in the launching of Brunel's steamship SS *Great Eastern*. Tangye said of the project:

> *We launched the Great Eastern and she launched us*

In 1859, brothers Edward and George joined, together with George Price. The company acquired the patent of the differential pulley-block in 1861, and in 1862 James Tangye invented the Tangye Patent Hydraulic Jack. This resulted in the 1862 purchase and demolition of Soho-located Smethwick Hall, on the site of which was built the *Cornwall Works.* In 1867 the patent for a new type of Direct-acting Steam Pump was acquired, and in 1870 the company commenced the manufacture of steam engines.

The company was commissioned to design the hydraulic systems for the UK's first funicular cliff railway in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, in 1869. After completing another in Scarborough, they employed George Croydon Marks as head of lifts, in which capacity he designed the 1883 Saltburn Cliff Lift, which today is the oldest water-powered cliff railway in the United Kingdom.

In 1872, the two youngest brothers, Richard and George, became sole proprietors. They developed the company internationally, opening offices in Johannesburg and Sydney. The first gas engine, a 1 nominal horsepower two-cycle type, was sold in 1881, and in 1890 the firm commenced manufacture of the four-cycle gas engine. Incorporated as a limited company from 1881, in 1894 they produced their first hot bulb engine. Richard Tangye was knighted in 1894.

Tangye travelled extensively, visiting Australia more than once and also New Zealand and America. He sought to restore his health on the ocean voyages but his main purpose in going to these countries was to expand his business. His accounts of his travels reveal a man who was annoyed that he was not shown the deference by hotel employees that he enjoyed in Britain and who was often unimpressed by the food he was presented with (excluding the fruit, which he greatly liked) - but who enjoyed being recognised and was pleased when he saw evidence of progress e.g. in the establishment of libraries.

### Philanthropy

Richard Tangye and his brother George were founding benefactors of Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in 1885, which today has a collection of international importance covering fine art, ceramics, metalwork, jewellery, archaeology, ethnography, local history and industrial history. They also helped found Birmingham School of Art.

Tangye was a noted collector of Oliver Cromwell manuscripts and memorabilia. His collection included many rare manuscripts and printed books, medals, paintings, objets d'art and a bizarre assemblage of 'relics'. The 'relics' included Cromwell's Bible, button, coffin plate, death mask and funeral escutcheon. On Tangye's death, the entire collection was donated to the Museum of London, where it can still be seen today. Items from the Tangye Collection are also to be found at the Cromwell Museum.

### Personal life

Tangye was under five feet tall, short even by the standards of the time. Married, Tangye lived in Birmingham, and latterly London, but often returned to his cliff-edge house in Newquay, Cornwall. Richard Tangye has been described by his biographer as a man of great resolve with considerable talents for promoting his business, but also very much valuing his privacy and never wishing to hold public office in Birmingham. (Stephen Roberts, 'Sir Richard Tangye 1833-1906: A Cornish Entrepreneur in Victorian Birmingham, 2015). He was the grandfather of the authors Derek Tangye and Nigel Tangye. Through his niece Helena Tangye Lean, he was a great-uncle of film maker David Lean and his brother Edward Tangye Lean, founder of the Inklings.

## After death

After the deaths of Richard (1906) and George (1920), with the family owning the majority of shares, their sons entered the business. In 1919, the company started production of large-scale industrial diesel engines, pumps and hydraulic equipment. Engine production was stopped after World War II, with the company concentrating on hydraulic pumps, valves and related systems.

## Publications

Tangye wrote an autobiography, *One and All* (1889). The only modern study is *Sir Richard Tangye 1833-1914: A Cornish Entrepreneur in Victorian Birmingham* (2015) by Stephen Roberts.

## Examples of Tangye engines

The various engines had an elegance as well as being functional. Here are some examples in various museums.

title: Holy Week in Taxco

text:
# Holy Week in Taxco

In Taxco, the processions and ceremonies of Holy Week are elaborate and have gained international fame. Between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, there are ten major processions, six during the evening and four during the day. Most processions are about two and a half kilometers long and take about two hours to complete. These commemorations date back to at least 1622 when they were begun in the atrium of the Church of the Ex monastery of San Bernardino de Siena. Now these processions and ceremonies center of the Santa Prisca Church.

They begin on Palm Sunday, when vendors, mostly from the small outlying village of Tlamacazapa, crowd around the church to sell palm leaves woven into intricate designs. Most designs are variations of a crucified Christ but there are others, like floral designs, as well. A wooden carving of Christ on a donkey leaves another outlying village, Tehuilotepec, and marches into Taxco to arrive to the Santa Prisca Church with much fanfare. The first sign of the procession is a large number of children on bicycles, each with palm leaves attached to the front. Next come drummers and people dressed as the Twelve Apostles, walking barefoot. Last comes the sculpture of Christ, with a canopy of flowers and palms, which is surrounded by a crowd of people waving palms to be sprinkled by holy water by the priests.

Processions occur each day of the week and grow more solemn as Good Friday approaches. The conquistadors brought the old medieval practice of painful and bloody self-penitence to Mexico from Spain about 500 years ago. Since this concept was very similar to Aztec blood rituals, this practice was easily adopted. Despite efforts by authorities in most parts of Mexico to suppress this tradition, it still reappears. However, in Taxco, this practice is not only not suppressed; it has evolved into forms unique to the city. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of Holy Week is dedicated to processions made by three major religious cofradias, or brotherhoods, who spend this week doing penance, and thus called “penitentes.” There are three main cofradias in Taxco, Animas, Encruzados and Flagelentes. All penitentes wear long black robes cinched at the waist with a horsehair belt, and a black fabric hood with only eyeholes. These penitentes are never seen in public without the hood as to remain anonymous.

Animas penitentes have chains attached to their ankles that rattle as they walk. These walk bent at the waist 90 degrees carrying small crosses or lighted candles. Because of this, members of this cofradia are referred to as the “bent ones.” If the procession stops, they are allowed to rest only by going down on hands and knees. This is the only cofradia that permits women as members, who drag individual chains in the procession. The men are chained together in groups of twenty. Since they must always face the ground, these penitentes have attendants which guide them during the procession.

The Encruzados walk in procession, not nailed to a cross but rather with a bundle of thorned blackberry canes tied across their bare back and outstretched arms. The bundles typically weigh between 40 and 50 kilos. In each hand, the penitente carries a lighted candle. The weight and position of the bundle forces the penitente to stoop slightly. The only rest is through attendees who help with the weight for the periods when the procession does not move.

The Flagelantes walk the entire procession shirtless and carry a large wooden cross, which can weigh over 100 pounds in the crook of their arms. In their hands they carry a rosary and a whip with metal points on the end. At certain times and places, they hand the crosses to attendees, kneel and swing the whips over and onto their backs. This is done on alternating sides, creating two bloody areas. This is repeated every night during Holy Week, reopening the wounds from the night before.

Another type of “penitente” are those who carry the large wooden statues of the major figures of Holy Week. In other parts of Mexico, these personages are played by townspeople, but in Taxco, they are represented by large wooden statues that are kept in various neighborhoods and villages in and around Taxco. These statues are carried in processions on Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.

The morning of Maundy Thursday is dedicated to a recreation of the Garden of Gethsemane in the front atrium of the Church of Santa Prisca, done with laurel branches, flowers, caged birds and a statue of Jesus. In the afternoon, the quiet is broken by men dressed as Roman soldiers looking for Jesus, as he has been sentenced to death. A townsperson playing Judas Iscariot also roams the streets, with greasy hair, a yellow tunic and rattling thirty pieces of silver. The Jesus statue in the Garden is replaced by one depicted blindfolded and with hands bound behind its back. This statue is taken to a “jail.” Penitentes and the Roman soldiers watch over this Christ statue all night rattling chains. The “Procession of the Christs” also happens this night with over 40 representations of the crucified Christ wandering the streets until morning.

On Good Friday, the Christ statue is taken from the “jail” and brought to the Santa Prisca Church for a reenactment of the Crucifixion. Inside and outside the church, the penitentes continue the penance they started earlier in the week. After the crucifixion, the statue is taken for its “sacred interment” which is a very solemn procession through the streets. That night, hundreds move through the streets carrying candles. Saturday is quiet until the mass of the resurrection late in the evening at the Santa Prisca Church. The church overflows with people. Outside in the main plaza are the Roman soldiers. When they receive word from the Church that the Christ has risen, they fall to the ground en masse, becoming believers. Most of Easter Sunday is a day of recovery from the events of the past week. Some youths will sing and walk through the streets accompanied by the “Savior Shepherd” However, most people spend the day at home.

## Early life

Twichell was born on November 19, 1864, in Hastings, Minnesota, United States, the son of Luther L. and Sally Twichell. After his father's death in 1880, Treadwell, then 17, left high school and went to Dakota Territory to manage his late father's land holdings near Mapleton, North Dakota. Treadwell would remain involved in agriculture for the rest of his life. Treadwell had a sibling, Luther Lathrop, who would also be elected as Speaker in 1921.

title: Gyula Gál

abstract: Gyula Gál is a retired Hungarian handball player. He made his international debut on 15 March 1999 against France. Gál suffered a torn knee ligament in April 2009 and since then he was struggling to fight back into the first team of MKB Veszprém KC and was also missing from the national team selection. To get more playing minutes and to win back his form, he was loaned to Tatabánya KC in October 2010. However, this loan spell was cut short as he was signed by RK Zagreb in January 2010. The Croatian side was in need of a line player, as Frank Løke has been suspended for nine months by the European Handball Federation for signing a contract with both Skjern and Zagreb at the same time, and first choice pivot Igor Vori moved to HSV Hamburg during the summer transfer window. Gál's contract runs till June 2012.

title: Hold on Me (Grinspoon song)

abstract: "Hold on Me" is the third single released by Grinspoon from their fourth studio album Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills. It was released on 21 February 2005 on the Universal Records label. The initial single release included a lapel pin badge under shrink wrap, with 'Hold On Me - Grinspoon EP' themed artwork. It debuted on the ARIA Singles Chart at No. 44. Four minutes and fifty-two seconds into the last track on the single, "Get the Fuck Out of Here", the original version of "Hold on Me" can be heard. It was entitled "Showpony" and contains different lyrics as well as slightly different arrangement. According to the band, the album's US record producer, Howard Benson, told them they couldn't call a song "Show Pony"' because he'd never heard the term, so the title of the song and the musical arrangement was changed. To promote the release of the single Grinspoon embarked on a national tour with New Zealand band, Shihad, called 'The Show Pony Express Tour'.

## Reception

The Australian Music Guide rated "Hold on Me" as the 35th most heard song by an Australian artist in 2005.

FasterLouder magazine in March 2005 described the song as being "an inoffensive, nice song. Grinspoon prove that they certainly still have a semblance of ‘it’ but ‘it’ is being translated through safer, more accessible means." The review describes "Jamieson as "soar(ing) through the chorus" and "the song is full of catchy hooks that are bound to get people a-moving on the dance floor at the band’s gigs. There is an element of cheesiness there, particularly in the line ‘how come you never wanna dance with me anymore?’, but this is strangely one of the most fun lines to sing along to."

## Music video

The music video for "Hold on Me" starts with Phil Jamieson giving a quick run-down of how the song came about. Apart from the opening image, the clip is in black-and-white and resembles a 60's TV performance.
