# William Owen (Australian politician)

**William Owen** (c. 1815 – 16 Oct 1869) was a businessman and politician in the young Colony of South Australia. He was a founder of the South Australian Total Abstinence Society.

## History

William Owen and his wife Christina (née Cock) emigrated to South Australia from London in 1838 on the *Rajasthan* arriving on 16 November 1838. Sometimes referred to as "Captain Owen", he was in business as a produce merchant in Rosina Street and then, from 1847, Pirie Street Adelaide. He spent a year in the Swan River Colony, at least partly in the hope that a "change of air" would be beneficial to his wife, who was suffering from tuberculosis. During this time he built up business contacts and exported goods and timber to his Adelaide store, which was being managed by J. J. Warner. In conjunction with A. L. Elder, chartered the 94 ton brigantine *Emma Sherratt* for a sugar buying expedition, a consequence of which was a libel suit by Owen against competitor William Younghusband. Owen won the case but was awarded only £20 damages. The *Emma Sherratt* a half share of which Owen purchased from Sherratt, was the subject of further disputes, and was lost near Samoa in December 1850. Another of Owen's ships, the 140 ton brig *Arpenteur*, was wrecked in 1849 with a huge loss of cargo, but without loss of life in either case.

He was, from his earliest days in South Australia, a prominent activist in the cause of Total abstinence, a Rechabite and founder of the South Australian Total Abstinence Society, serving as President or Vice-president for many years. He left the colony with his family in 1855 for England and America They returned in February 1858, but Mr. Owen did not resume his old business, but made several trips to the Fiji Islands, following which he made a series of public lectures.

He was elected on a platform of Free Trade and Free Immigration for the seat of City of Adelaide in the South Australian House of Assembly to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of William Henville Burford, and served from May 1859 to March 1860, when he announced his intention not to contest that or any other seat in the next election. He was however nominated for the seat of Port Adelaide, and without any effort or expense on his part was returned at the head of the poll, and served from March 1860 to March 1862, roughly contemporary with fellow abstainer G. W. Cole.

Sometime in the late 1850s, Owen purchased the island of Kioa from the local Chief; a deed signed by him, and another signed by his son were lodged with the British Consul for Fiji. The Fiji Pastoral, Agricultural and Commercial Company, provisional manager David Wilkinson (c. 1832 – 8 January 1910), was formed to exploit the country's largely untapped natural resources of timber, arrowroot, cotton, coconut, tobacco and so on. It was envisaged that the natives would be pleased to act as virtual slaves for the owners. (When Fiji became a British colony, Wilkinson, who had a strong command of the language, was appointed Chief Interpreter for the government, later Commissioner of Native Lands.) The company did not receive enthusiastic public support and appears to have quietly folded. Owen was appointed by Sir John Young as British Consul for the Fiji Islands, and was later commended by Earl Russell for the manner in which he performed the duties of his office. He died in Melbourne, Victoria during an extended visit to that State.

## Family

He was married to Christina, née Cock ( – 4 May 1848), (sister of Robert Cock). Three daughters were born in Adelaide, South Australia:

* Jane (22 April 1838 – 21 February 1907) married Rev. William Mansley Bennett (1834 – 29 June 1916). They had five children: Millicent Mary, William Owen, Beverley Mansley, Lina Ashley and Evan Owen.
* Catherine (known as Catherine Christina) (4 April 1841 – 22 October 1905) married Rev. Peter Roe Clarke Ussher (26 March 1834 – 23 March 1899) on 1 March 1862
* Christina (29 February 1848 – )

He married again, on 11 October 1850, to Isabella Sanders (c. 1803 – 30 March 1870). She had two daughters with James Sanders: Christiana or Christina Blackwood Sanders (c. 1844 – 20 August 1920), who married James Miller Anderson on 12 February 1862, and Emma Eliza Sanders. Her last residence was Jeffcott Street, North Adelaide.

They had a home in Kent Town, South Australia. His last residence was 1 Elgin Street, Carlton, Victoria where he died.

# Mirama–Kikagati–Nsongezi High Voltage Power Line

The **Mirama–Kikagati–Nsongezi High Voltage Power Line** is a planned high voltage electricity power line, connecting the high voltage substation at Mirama Hills, in the Western Region of Uganda, to another high voltage substation at Kikagati Hydroelectric Power Station and continues to end at Nshungyezi Hydropower Station.

## Location

The 132 kilo Volt power line starts at the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL) 132kV substation at Mirama Hills, Ntungamo District, in Uganda's Western Region. The power line travels in a general easterly direction to Kikagati Hydroelectric Power Station, in Kikagati, Isingiro District, a road distance of approximately 36 kilometres (22 mi). From there, the power line takes a general northeasterly direction to end at Nshungyezi Hydroelectric Power Station, a distance of about 13 kilometres (8 mi), as the crow flies, but is approximately 31 kilometres (19 mi) by road from Kikagati. Due to the steep terrain, the power line does not always follow the winding road. The line measures only 38 kilometres (24 mi), from Mirama Hills to Nshungyezi.

## Overview

The power line is being developed to evacuate the 16 megawatts of electricity generated at Kikagati Hydroelectric Power Station and the 39 megawatts generated at Nshungyezi Power Station and transmit it to Mirama Hills, for integration into Uganda's national electricity grid.

## Associated power infrastructure

As of August 2020, Kikagati Power Station is under construction at a contract price of US$88 million and an anticipated completion date of 2021. The project received US$12.3 million partial funding from the Uganda GET Fit Program.

Nshungyezi Power Station is a proposed 39 megawatts hydroelectric power station planned on the Kagera River, approximately 13 kilometres (8 mi), downstream of Kikagati Power Station. The development rights are owned by Maji Power Limited, a subsidiary of Berkeley Energy.

## Cost and construction

The power line and associated infrastructure developments are budgeted at US$33.4 million. As of August 2020, construction has not started. It was anticipated that by 2022, the power line would be in operation. Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited will own and operate the completed power transmission line. The project received partial funding from the government of Norway.

# Perfect Sense (song)

**"Perfect Sense, Part I"** and **"Perfect Sense, Part II"** are the third and fourth tracks from the concept album *Amused to Death* by ex-Pink Floyd member Roger Waters. The songs are sung partially by Roger Waters but mainly by PP Arnold on both the original album and live shows.

## Overview

Part I of the song begins with a loud and unintelligible rant cutting out the noise of the previous track, "What God Wants, Part I". Following this is a backwards spoken message:

> Julia, however, in the light and visions of the issues of Stanley, we changed our minds. We have decided to include a backward message. Stanley, for you, and for all the other book burners...

The message climaxes with Waters yelling in the aggressive Scottish voice he used to depict the character of the teacher in *The Wall*. This is not the first example of Roger Waters using reversed messages in his musical work. In an interview with *Rockline* on 8 February 1993 Roger Waters stated that he had wanted to use samples of HAL 9000 from *2001: A Space Odyssey* on the album. Stanley Kubrick, the director, turned him down on the basis that it would open the door to too many other people using the sound sample. Since this incident Waters has used the audio of HAL describing his mind being taken away during the introduction of "Perfect Sense, Part I" in live performances, such as the In the Flesh tour in 2002, after Kubrick had died.

The opening lines of the song begin with a reference from the film *2001: A Space Odyssey* in which "The monkey sat on a pile of stones and stared at the broken bone in his hand". This monkey – the human being – is referred to continuously throughout the album.

In Part II, famed sportscaster Marv Albert commentates a war as if it were a basketball game.

Both parts of the song were performed as part of Waters' *In the Flesh* tour. In 2000, a recording of this was released as the fifth track of the second disk of the live album, *In the Flesh – Live*. Both parts were released as one track, titled "Perfect Sense, Pt. 1 & 2", with a length of 7:26.

In the 2015 re-released and remastered edition of the album, the samples of HAL 9000 were finally included, and the backwards message omitted.

abstract:
Commander William Owen was a Welsh naval officer. Born in Glan Severn, Montgomeryshire, Wales, of a family of gentry, he was youngest son of David Owen of Cefn Hafod, Montgomeryshire. He was a member of the Royal Navy and lost his right arm from a wound suffered during the Seven Years' War off Pondicherry when supporting the British East India Company forces in 1760. Not content with the half pension he was receiving, he served as an impress officer. After the war, Owen contacted a former fellow officer, Lord William Campbell, who had recently been appointed governor of Nova Scotia. Late in 1766, Owen travelled with Campbell to Halifax. The following year, as payment for his work in aid of Campbell, he was awarded a large parcel of land. The grant, which included three of his nephews as grantees, was Passamaquoddy Outer Island in Passamaquoddy Bay. In 1770, Owen renamed the island Campobello Island after Lord Campbell; he also took into account the Italian meaning, "fair field", of the new name. In the 1770s, Owen wrote a volume of 'Narratives' which was subsequently published in 1942 and which covers the creation of Campobello in Canada. In England, Owen spent some time in Shrewsbury, where he was sworn a freeman of borough on 5 October 1764, and, by then a captain in the navy, served as Mayor in 1775–76, following which he returned to service in India.
Owen was killed, accidentally, in Madras, India while carrying dispatches from India to England. Owen left on his death two surviving natural sons via Sarah Haslam. His eldest son was Edward William Campbell Rich Owen and his younger son was William Fitzwilliam Owen. The latter became sole owner of Campobello Island in 1835 and settled there.

# Random test generator

**Random test generators** (often abbreviated RTG or ISG for Instruction Stream Generator or Instruction Sequence Generator) are a type of computer software that is used in functional verification of microprocessors. Their primary use lies in providing input stimulus to a device under test.

In a simulation/testbench verification environment, the simulator processes input created by the RTG and coverage monitors may be used to verify that the generator is properly testing the design.

Random test generators range in scope from simple scripts and parameterized macros that can be created in a matter of weeks to full featured systems requiring extensive software development. Random test generators are most often created by the designing organizations.

## Table Based Generators

Table based test generators are the simplest RTGs available. Creation of such generators can be accomplished relatively quickly, and maintenance requirements are often low. These generators work by capturing knowledge of the design's instruction set architecture and storing it in a relational database for later use. Because of their simplistic nature, table based generators may be used by less skilled personnel to create interesting tests. There is a drawback to these generators however, as their implementation is generally restricted to simple architectures. Usage on more complex ISAs may result in an inability to reach corner cases or create complex scenarios. Table based generators may also generate invalid tests at times.

## Static Generators

Static generators are similar to table based generators with the exception that the majority of the instruction, operand and data selection reside in complex procedural code. Static generators are capable of producing more random behavior than table based generators, but still have trouble hitting many corner-cases. In addition, the skill level required to create and maintain such a tool rises sharply once this level of sophistication is reached.

## Dynamic Generators

Dynamic generators incorporate significant knowledge about the architecture being tested. They enhance the ability of less-skilled users to generate complex tests that can hit hard-to-reach corner cases without stumbling on subtle programming pitfalls. This added knowledge, flexibility and ease-of-use is reflected in a more complex generator, and consequently the cost of creating and maintaining the generator are greater than for table-based or static generators.

# Marlborough Royal Free Grammar School

**Marlborough Royal Free Grammar School**, previously known as **Marlborough Grammar School** and **King Edward's School, Marlborough**, was a grammar school in the town of Marlborough, in Wiltshire, England, founded in 1550.

Originally for boys only, the school became co-educational in 1906. Over a period of more than four hundred years, it had a number of homes around Marlborough. In 1975 it was closed, and its final buildings were re-used for the new St John's Marlborough comprehensive school.

## History

The Dissolution of Colleges Act 1547 closed all of the Kingdom of England's chantries, including the Hospital of St John, Marlborough. The town's burgesses then petitioned the Crown for the hospital to be converted into a "'Free-scole for the inducement of youth", and by letters patent dated 18 October 1550 a grammar school was established. The former hospital thus became the school's first home, but in 1578 it was demolished and a new building was erected which provided a schoolroom, a house for the schoolmaster, and dormitories. This survived until 1790.

The school was sometimes known as King Edward's School, Marlborough, in memory of King Edward VI, but in the course of the 18th century it began to be known as Marlborough Grammar School.

In 1834 a Charity Commissioners' report called the school the "Free Grammar School" and found that its original purpose was to teach Greek, Latin, and the church catechism, and that the governing body was the Corporation of Marlborough. Fourteen boys were then being taught the prescribed subjects without the payment of fees, but had to pay for other subjects. There were also twenty-six "pay-scholars", including some boarders.

In 1853 the school survived a proposal by Earl Bruce to amalgamate it with the new Marlborough College. During the nineteenth century it declined in numbers.

In 1872, the school had endowments worth £248 a year, and there were five schoolmasters teaching 85 boys. Some 37 of those were "sons of persons resident three years in town" and so were on the foundation, paying fees of six guineas a year, while the rest were boarders paying between 45 and 50 guineas. The school was entitled to Exhibitions at Brasenose College, Oxford, two worth £52 a year and four worth £36, and to a smaller number at St John's College, Cambridge.

By the 1890s the school had dwindled to six boys, taking intermittent lessons in a single room. The resignation of the headmaster in 1899 led to the closure of the school. In October 1905 it reopened in new buildings on the same site, known as Marlborough Grammar School, now taking the form of a mixed school for eighty boys and girls. Two classrooms were added in 1932, and by 1938 there were 300 pupils. A larger site to the south of the town was bought in 1936, but war and the subsequent restrictions prevented any building work there. In 1947 a boarding-house for both sexes was established at Wye House.

The school was eventually rehoused in 1962, in new buildings on the new site. In 1975, the school and the local secondary modern school, Marlborough Secondary Modern, were both closed, and a new comprehensive school, now called St John's Marlborough, was created and took over the buildings of both former schools. New school buildings were later built alongside those of the old grammar school, and the 1960s buildings were demolished in 2010.

# Trigger Fingers (1924 film)

***Trigger Fingers*** is a 1924 American silent Western film directed by B. Reeves Eason and starring Bob Custer, George Field, and Margaret Landis.

## Plot

As described in a review in a film magazine, in order to better be able to run down a notorious bandit, “The Black Hawk,” Sgt. Steele (Custer) of the Rangers, who has captured another bandit, “Lightning” Brady, impersonates him and joins the gang of unsavory characters led by Murtison (Bennett). Soon he finds The Black Hawk has attacked an official of the mining company and paralyzed his sense of speech. He sends for Dr. Deering (Field), who arrives with his daughter, Ruth (Landis), but returns for instruments and fails to come back. Instead, Murtison’s gang attacks Steele and, in the rumpus, Murtison is killed by The Black Hawk. The gang captures Ruth and a young Indian woman, Wetona (La Rue), and takes them away. Steele rescues them and returns to the shack to find The Black Hawk bending over the patient, who has recovered his speech. Steele forces him to unmask and finds he is Dr. Deering. During a terrific fight, Deering is shot by Wetona. Ruth is shocked to find her father is a bandit, but finds consolation in the love of Steele, who reveals his real identity to her.

# Rathausmarkt

**Rathausmarkt** (lit. *City Hall Marketplace*) is the central square of Hamburg, Germany, located in the Altstadt (*old town*) quarter right in front of the Hamburg Rathaus. Framed by shopping arcades of Alsterarkaden at Alsterfleet, there are many events taking place here, amongst them open air cinema in summer, the *Stuttgarter Weindorf* (*Stuttgart wine village*), the music festival of Rockspektakel, and the Christmas market in December.

## History

The Rathausmarkt was built after the Great Fire of Hamburg in 1842, which destroyed also the old city hall near the bridge of Trostbrücke and the buildings near the new city hall, with the exception of the building of Hamburg Stock Exchange. Shortly before the fire, the old St. John's monastery and also the old church of St. John, located on the southern end of the square, which were situated in the area of today's Rathausmarkt, had been demolished. The square was created pursuing a plan and designed after the model of Piazza San Marco in Venice, which is also opening to the waterfront. The new city hall was completed in 1897.

In 1933, the Rathausmarkt had been renamed to *Adolf-Hitler-Platz* (Adolf Hitler square), as many squares and streets in Germany at that time. It was renamed after the end of World War II in 1945. Until the 1970s the square was a transport hub for the Trams in Hamburg. After tram operation had ceased in 1978, the square was fully renovated and surfaced with red granite until 1982 under the aegis of mayor Hans-Ulrich Klose, wherefore it was jokingly dubbed Red Square.

## Monuments

The former monument for William I, which had been erected on the square in 1903, was removed in 1930. The remaining parts can be found at *Holstenwall/Sievekingplatz* today. The two large flagpoles are remnants of this ensemble.

Also today, the Heinrich Heine Monument, made by Waldemar Otto, can be found on the square. Hannes Wader wrote a song about in 1989.

# Rankism

**Rankism** is "abusive, discriminatory, and/or exploitative behavior towards people because of their rank in a particular hierarchy". Rank-based abuse underlies many other phenomena such as bullying, racism, supremacism (often white supremacy), xenophobia, hazing, ageism, sexism, ableism, mentalism, antisemitism, homophobia and transphobia. The term "rankism" was popularized by physicist, educator, and citizen diplomat Robert W. Fuller.

## Characteristics

Rankism can take many forms, including

Rankism can occur in any social hierarchy, such as governments, corporations, families, non-profit organizations, and universities.

## Use of term

The term rankism first appeared in print in the *Oberlin Alumni Magazine* for fall of 1997. It later appeared in a book called *Somebodies and Nobodies: Overcoming the Abuse of Rank,* written by Fuller and published in 2003.

The first use of the term in a management journal occurred in 2001 in a *Leader to Leader Institute* article. The piece questioned the abuse of rank in work hierarchies. The idea of rankism has since been widely covered in the media, including *The New York Times*, *NPR*, *C-SPAN*, *The Boston Globe*, the *BBC*, *Voice of America*, and *O, The Oprah Magazine*.

Other notable references of rankism include Fuller's second book on the subject, *All Rise: Somebodies, Nobodies, and the Politics of Dignity,* and an action-oriented guide titled *Dignity for All: How to Create a World Without Rankism.*

The Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies (Human DHS) network has also accepted the concept of rankism as core to its mission. It asserts, "...the mission we have undertaken at Human DHS is the confrontation of abuse, rankism and the humiliation endemic to it, on the historical scale."

Professional mediator Julia Ann Wambach uses Fuller's definition of rankism to explore the abuse of position within a hierarchy from both up and down the lines of power, including how rankism feeds on itself in group contexts.

## Rankism and dignity

According to Fuller, the abuse of rank is experienced by victims as an affront to their dignity. Fuller and his supporters have launched a new social movement to promote the creation of a dignitarian society. The Dignity Movement's goal is to overcome rankism in the same way that the civil rights movement and women's movements target racism and sexism.

title: USS Ranger (1777)

abstract: USS Ranger was a sloop-of-war in the Continental Navy, serving from 1777–1780 and the first to bear her name. Built at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on Badger's Island in Kittery, Maine, she is famed for the solo raiding campaign carried out by her first captain, John Paul Jones, during naval operations of the American Revolutionary War. In six months spent primarily in British waters, she captured five prizes, staged a single failed attack on the English mainland at Whitehaven, and caused Royal Navy ships to be dispatched against her in the Irish Sea. Jones was detached in Brest, France to take charge of the Bonhomme Richard, turning over responsibility for Ranger to his first officer, Lieutenant Thomas Simpson. Under Simpson, the Ranger went on to capture an additional twenty-four prizes across the Atlantic and along the U.S. coast throughout 1778 and 1779. Receiving new orders in late 1779 to aid the American garrison at Charleston, South Carolina, during the British siege, she continued her raiding career until ultimately forced to anchor on the Cooper River, resulting in her capture on 11 May 1780, with the fall of the city. Renamed Halifax, she finished her active service as a Royal Navy ship and was decommissioned in 1781. Later that year, she was sold in Portsmouth, England to private buyers for use as a merchantman.

# USS Ranger (1777)

**USS *Ranger*** was a sloop-of-war in the Continental Navy, serving from 1777–1780 and the first to bear her name. Built at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on Badger's Island in Kittery, Maine, she is famed for the solo raiding campaign carried out by her first captain, John Paul Jones, during naval operations of the American Revolutionary War. In six months spent primarily in British waters, she captured five prizes (mostly merchantmen), staged a single failed attack on the English mainland at Whitehaven, and caused Royal Navy ships to be dispatched against her in the Irish Sea.

Jones was detached in Brest, France to take charge of the *Bonhomme Richard*, turning over responsibility for *Ranger* to his first officer, Lieutenant Thomas Simpson. Under Simpson, the *Ranger* went on to capture an additional twenty-four prizes across the Atlantic and along the U.S. coast throughout 1778 and 1779.

Receiving new orders in late 1779 to aid the American garrison at Charleston, South Carolina, during the British siege, she continued her raiding career until ultimately forced to anchor on the Cooper River, resulting in her capture on 11 May 1780, with the fall of the city. Renamed *Halifax*, she finished her active service as a Royal Navy ship and was decommissioned in 1781. Later that year, she was sold in Portsmouth, England to private buyers for use as a merchantman.

## History

*Ranger* (initially called *Hampshire*) was launched on May 10, 1777 by James Hackett, master shipbuilder, at the shipyard of John Langdon on what is now called Badger's Island in Kittery, Maine. Captain John Paul Jones was named her first commander.

### Continental Navy

After fitting out, she sailed for France on November 1, 1777, carrying dispatches telling of General Burgoyne's surrender to the commissioners in Paris. On the voyage over, two British prizes were captured. *Ranger* arrived at Nantes, France, on December 2, where Jones sold the prizes and delivered the news of the victory at Saratoga to ambassador Benjamin Franklin. On February 14, 1778, *Ranger* received a nine-gun salute to the new American flag, the "Stars and Stripes" from the ship of the line *Robuste*, under Lamotte-Picquet, at Quiberon Bay. This was the first salute from a warship and, the second to an American fighting vessel by a foreign power (the first salute was received by *Andrew Doria* when on November 16, 1776 she arrived at St. Eustatius and the Dutch island returned her 11-gun salute).

*Ranger* sailed from Brest April 10, 1778, for the Irish Sea and four days later captured the brigantine "Dolphin" between the Scilly Isles and Cape Clear and scuttled it. On 16 April, she took ship "Lord Chatham" 5 leagues from Cape Clear and sent her to Brest, France. On the 19th sunk a Scottish coastal schooner in the Mull of Galloway. On the 20th sunk a sloop. Captain Jones led a raid on the English port of Whitehaven, April 23, spiking the guns of the fortress, but failing in his attempt to burn the ships in the harbor. Sailing across the bay to St. Mary's Isle, Scotland, the American captain planned to seize the Earl of Selkirk and hold him as a hostage and use him to make several political demands. However, since the Earl was absent, the plan failed. Several Royal Navy vessels were searching for *Ranger*, and Captain Jones sailed across the North Channel to Carrickfergus, Ireland, to induce HMS *Drake* of 14 guns, to come out and fight. *Drake* came out slowly against the wind and tide, and, after an hour's battle, the battered *Drake* struck her colors, with eight sailors being killed in action during the engagement on the 24th. Later on the same day she captured the brigantine "Patience". Having made temporary repairs, and with a prize crew on *Drake*, *Ranger* continued around the west coast of Ireland, capturing a lone storeship, and arrived at Brest with her prizes on May 8.

Captain Jones was detached to command *Bonhomme Richard*, leaving Lieutenant Simpson, his first officer, in command. *Ranger* departed Brest on August 21, reaching Portsmouth, New Hampshire on October 15, in company with *Providence* and *Boston*, plus three prizes taken in the Atlantic.

The sloop departed Portsmouth on February 24, 1779 joining with the Continental Navy ships *Queen of France* and *Warren* in preying on British shipping in the North Atlantic. Seven prizes were captured early in April, and brought safely into port for sale. On 18 June, *Ranger* was underway again with *Providence* and *Queen of France*, capturing two Jamaicamen in July and nine more vessels off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Of the 11 prizes, three were recaptured, but the remaining eight, with their cargoes, were worth over a million dollars when sold in Boston.

Underway on November 23, *Ranger* was ordered to Commodore Whipple's squadron, arriving at Charleston on December 23, to support the garrison there under siege by the British. On January 24, 1780, *Ranger* and *Providence*, in a short cruise down the coast, captured three transports, loaded with supplies, near Tybee, Georgia. The British army tasked with capturing Charleston was also discovered in the area. *Ranger* and *Providence* sailed back to Charleston with the news. Shortly afterwards the British commenced the final push. Although the channel and harbor configuration made naval operations and support difficult, *Ranger* took a station in the Cooper River, and was captured when Charleston fell on 11 May 1780.

### Royal Navy

*Ranger* was taken into the British Royal Navy and commissioned under the name HMS *Halifax*. She was decommissioned in Portsmouth, England, in 1781, then sold as a merchant vessel for about 3 percent of her original cost.

# Linton Wells

**Linton Wells** (1893–1976) was an American foreign correspondent, world traveler and pioneer broadcaster.

## Early life and education

Born in Louisville, Kentucky, on April 1, 1893, he attended the US Naval Academy with the Class of 1914, but left before graduation. He began his career as a foreign correspondent with the China Press in Shanghai in 1912, covering Sun Yat Sen and the Xinhai Revolution. Returning from China early in World War I via Europe, he covered a revolution in Mexico, learned to fly in 1915, and helped build the first dam in Samoa.

## Career

After service in the Navy during World War I, he covered the Russian revolution, being imprisoned briefly by the Bolsheviks near Irkutsk. Following reporting from East Asia, he returned to the States in 1921 to cover Hollywood and events along the West Coast, returning to Japan in 1923, just in time to be injured in the Great Kantō earthquake of September 1, 1923.

In 1924, while working for the Associated Press, he accompanied the US Army aircraft *Boston* during the Calcutta to Karachi leg of the first round-the-world flight with the permission of the flight commander. The following year he and Leigh Wade, who had been the pilot of the *Boston* during the First World Flight, made the first non-stop automobile trip between Los Angeles and New York (167 hours and 50 minutes).

In 1926 he and Edward Steptoe Evans set a record for the fastest circumnavigation of the globe (28 days, 14 hours, 36 min). The following year he participated in fighting in Nicaragua, and returned to newspaper work in 1929 reporting from Europe for the International News Service.

From 1932 to early 1934 he reported from Moscow, where he met his future wife, the aviator Fay Gillis. After covering the coronation of the Puppet Emperor Puyi in Manchukuo, he returned to the US.

He married Fay Gillis on April 1, 1935, and, a few months later, they spent their honeymoon covering the Italian invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) for the *Herald Tribune*. He published an autobiography, *Blood on the Moon*, in 1937.

After returning to the States to cover Hollywood for the *Herald Tribune*, he and his wife pioneered overseas radio broadcasts from Latin America in 1938 for The Magic Key of RCA. They both were founding members of the Overseas Press Club.

In 1939, at the suggestion of President Roosevelt, and in support of a secret British request, he and Fay investigated potential locations in Africa for a Jewish homeland. On December 7, 1941, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he was part of one of the first television news broadcasts. From 1942 to 1946 he and Fay headed the US Commercial Company in West Africa, buying strategic materials for the war effort.

Returning to the States after the birth of their son Linton Wells II in Luanda, Angola in 1946, he owned a radio station in New York, lived for a time on a houseboat in Florida, returned to New York, and worked for the American Export Lines.

In 1962 he came to Washington in 1963 to open the Washington News Bureau for the Storer Broadcasting Company (then the largest privately owned radio and television network in the US), serving as the Washington Bureau Chief until 1972.

## Publications

In addition to his autobiography, he wrote *Around the World in Twenty-Eight Days*, *Jumping Meridians*, *Salute to Valor* and a play, *Suzanna*. The 1923 silent film *Suzanna* was based on Wells's play.

## Death

Linton Wells died in Washington, DC in January 1976. He was survived by his wife and son, two daughters, Barbara Church and Pat Ramacciotti, from his first marriage, and two granddaughters.

title: Where Have You Been (All My Life)

# Where Have You Been (All My Life)

**"Where Have You Been (All My Life)"** is a song written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.

## Arthur Alexander version

"Where Have You Been (All My Life)" was first released by Arthur Alexander in 1962, with "Soldier of Love (Lay Down Your Arms)" as the B-side, on Dot Records (London Records in the UK). Alexander biographer Richard Younger describes the song as "a classic example of sixties pop songwriting that captures the thrill of first love." *Billboard Magazine* described the song as "an emotion-packed theme with solid female chorus work," and also praised the feeling Alexander imbues his vocal with. Younger praises the "maturity" of Alexander's vocal performance, comparing it favorably to that on the earlier "You Better Move On," particularly how Alexander handles the "intricate melody, which ascends from the opening lines of revelation...to a chorus that is half-plea and half-exclamation." Producer Noel Ball claimed to have taken Alexander "way uptown" with the recording, creating what Younger describes as "a thrilling production that builds from a stark bass and drum into a mini-symphony with strings reminiscent of The Drifters' "There Goes My Baby." The song peaked at #58 on the *Billboard* Hot 100. Authors David Hatch and Stephen Millward see a resemblance between "Where Have You Been (All My Life)" and early songs written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

## Covers

The Beatles covered both "Where Have You Been (All My Life)" and "Soldier of Love" live early in their career. There is a live version by the Beatles on the bootleg album *Live 31 December 1962 at the Star Club, Hamburg, Germany* with John Lennon on lead vocal. Music critic Richie Unterberger described the song as "cool" and "moody" but complained that the sound on this recording was too "muddy" to be able to figure out the lyrics.

The song was recorded by Gene Vincent on Columbia Records, and by Gerry and the Pacemakers on Laurie. Also the Liverpool-based group The Searchers recorded the song on Pye Records for their 1964 LP *It's The Searchers*. Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders also recorded it, appearing in B side of their 1964 eponymous album.

This song with the title *Till We Kissed*, was sung by the New Zealander Ray Columbus & the Invaders in a 1965 single of the same name. The Canadian band The Guess Who issued the song with this title as the "B" side of their single Shakin' All Over in 1965.

Roy Clark released a song with the same title, but written by Wayland Holyfield, in his 1978 album : *Labor of Love.*
