# Make Me Your Baby

"**Make Me Your Baby**" is a song written by Helen Miller and Roger Atkins. The most successful recording was a hit for Barbara Lewis in 1965.

## Background

The demo for "Make Me Your Baby" was cut by journeyman session singer Jean Thomas on 22 January 1965 at the behest of Atlantic Records president Jerry Wexler, who wanted to offer the song to Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles, then a Cameo-Parkway act Wexler was hoping to woo over to Atlantic. Patti Labelle and the Bluebelles did eventually sign to Atlantic, but only after protracted negotiations (their debut label session being on October 7, 1965), which meant "Make Me Your Baby" was still unrecorded in the summer of 1965 when the success of "Baby I'm Yours" alerted Wexler to the suitability of "Make Me Your Baby" as a vehicle for the singer of "Baby I'm Yours," Barbara Lewis.

"Make Me Your Baby" was recorded by Lewis in a July 1, 1965, session at Atlantic Records Recording Studios (NYC) in which Lewis also recorded the B-side "Love to Be Loved" and a third track, "I'm So Afraid." 1 Like "Baby I'm Yours," "Make Me Your Baby" was produced by Ollie McLaughlin and Bert Berns, being described as "An Ollie McLaughlin production directed by Bert Berns." The arranger and conductor for the session was Artie Butler, with featured personnel on the session being Patti Brown (piano), Vinnie Bell, Al Gorgoni, Trade Martin (guitar), Bob Bushnell (electric bass), Gary Chester (drums), Ted Sommer, Alvin Rogers (chimes, tambourine). Prior to the release of the Barbara Lewis version, the song had been recorded by the Pixies Three, whose version had successfully been pitched to Cameo Parkway. However, before the relevant contract had been finalized, the Barbara Lewis single had begun to break, causing Cameo Parkway to opt out. The Pixies Three consequently disbanded.

## Chart performance

"Make Me Your Baby" was released as a single in September 1965 and that November matched the No.11 peak of her preceding hit, "Baby I'm Yours", as well as reaching No.9 on the Top Rhythm & Blues Singles chart.

## Other cover versions

* Barbara Lewis' "Make Me Your Baby" had an unsuccessful September 1965 release in the UK, where a local cover was cut by producer Shel Talmy with vocalist Liz Shelley. Released 10 September 1965 on Brunswick, this version also failed to chart, but, despite the advance of Lewis' version on the US charts, Shelley's single was given an American release by Decca Records.
* Bobby Vinton remade the song as "I'll Make You My Baby". Billy Sherrill produced the track which, as the lead single for the *Ev'ry Day of My Life*, reached No.30 on the Easy Listening chart in *Billboard* in April 1971, just missing the *Billboard* Hot 100 by peaking at No.101 on the Bubbling Under chart.
* "Make Me Your Baby" was covered in late 1975 in a disco style by Canadian singer Suzanne Stevens. Her version reached No.23 on Canada's *RPM* singles chart in December, 1975. Lewis' version had reached the top 10 in Canada in late 1965.
* Lewis's original version appeared on the soundtrack of Michael Apted's *Stardust*.
* 1 Lewis' recording of this Curtis Mayfield composition remains unreleased.

# The Three Garridebs

***The Three Garridebs*** is a 1937 television presentation that aired on NBC, based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1924 story "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs". Louis Hector played Sherlock Holmes, the first actor to do so on television.

## Plot

## Production

In 1937, NBC received permission from Conan Doyle's widow, Lady Jean Conan Doyle, to produce a live adaptation of Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs". NBC television director Thomas H. Hutchinson began scripting the teleplay, which was so faithful, with much dialogue nearly verbatim, that it was published three years later in a textbook on broadcast production. It is considered the first known television pilot.

Hector, cast as Sherlock Holmes, had previously portrayed Holmes in an American radio series from 1934 to 1935. He had also played Holmes' arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty on the series.

Outside of an opening scene using previously filmed footage of the London skyline, the bulk of the action took place on studio sets of 221B Baker Street and the home of Holmes' client Nathan Garrideb. Only three sets were built: 221B Baker Street, Nathan Garrideb's home and Inspector Lestrade's office. Previously filmed footage of Hector and Podmore riding in a hansom cab was used to link the action on the sets.

## Reception

The teleplay was performed live six times during the final week of November 1937. *The New York Times* called it "...the most ambitious experiment in teleshowmanship so far attempted in the air above New York" and said "in six performances for members of The American Radio Relay League, the ingenious welding of film and television production offered an interesting glimpse into the future of a new form of dramatic art..." The cast was praised as well: "Louis Hector, in traditional cape, peaked cap, and double-breasted suit, played Holmes in the approved manner and at all times gave the impression that a manhunt was in progress ... His determined manner throughout gave convincing evidence of the ultimate outcome—that the detective would surely 'get his man'."

# Llantwit Major F.C.

**Llantwit Major AFC** are a Welsh football club formed in 1962 and are based in the town of Llantwit Major, Vale of Glamorgan, South East Wales. They currently play in the Cymru South, and in 2021–22 finished as league champions.

## History

Llantwit Major Football Club was formed in 1962. A selection committee selected the team until entry to the South Wales Amateur League Second Division was gained in 1971. Life Member Gwyn John was appointed as the first team manager. Manager John's team were promoted to the 1st Division after finishing second in the 1976–77 season. Llantwit consolidated in the division before claiming their first Amateur League title under new manager Alan Foster in the 1979–80 season. This was closely followed by their second championship just a year later after retaining the title and adding the Corinthian Cup to achieve the double. This kick started a golden period in the 80's where the club won another double of league and Corinthian Cup in 1983–84. The hat-trick of Corinthian Cups came in the 1986–87 season. The club were also runners up in the league on a further two occasions during the decade.

The 1990s by contrast was a very mixed period for the club, first relegation in 1991–92 under Rob Sherman's leadership, followed by promotion two years later with Steve Manning at the helm. Fast forward two years and relegation, this time with record appearance holder Pete Lingham as player/manager. However the club made sure they were in the first division again at the turn of the millennium, the management duo of Kev Pycroft and Phil Clay gaining promotion by winning a comfortable Second Division title. The club spent the next decade consistently flirting with the league title without ever looking like serious title contenders with Llantwit stalwarts Tim Watts and John Guy providing much needed stability in charge. The club also came runners up in the Corinthian Cup in 2005. John Guy stepped down as manager in 2010 following a decade as manager to move upstairs as chairman. Guy did this selflessly in order to allow the introduction of fresh ideas into the club from new boss Kevin Rees in partnership with Watts. Rees and Watts introduced flesh blood into the playing staff gaining instant success by lifting the SWFA Senior Cup in 2010–11. The bedrock of the new players was Darren Robinson who became player/coach/manager along with the irrepressible Watts.

## Supporters and rivalries

Llantwit Major supporters are known as the 'Windmill Army', and can draw crowds of up to 250 for important matches such as their 2018 title decider against STM Sports. For many years, the number one rival was St. Athan, however this rivalry has diminished due to Llantwit's rise through the leagues. Instead, Pen-Y-Bont FC have become the opposition most looked forward to by fans and players alike.

A rivalry has also developed with Ammanford AFC, which began when a Twitter video posted by the Llantwit Major Twitter account after a 3–1 victory left numerous players and supporters of the Ammanford side in tears.

Meanwhile, the club has friendly links with Dutch club Feyenoord Rotterdam, Boca Juniors and Port Talbot Town.

## Recent success (2016-onwards)

Llantwit Major have enjoyed incredible success in recent years, rising from the amateur divisions to the second tier of Welsh football. Manager Karl Lewis has established a strong squad of players from the local area, many of whom have been playing together for their entire lives. The most notable success so far was lifting the Welsh Football League Division Two title in the 2017/18 season, in the club's first season at that level having been promoted from Division Three the season before. Former players Sam Snaith and Adam Roscrow have gone on to play in the Welsh Premier League with Cardiff Met, and the club also enjoyed a victory over Barry Town AFC – one of the biggest clubs in Wales. The Windmill Lane stadium has also seen improvements, with the addition of a new seating area and concrete standing areas, as well as improvements to the bar and clubhouse.

Following a 4 - 3 victory over Pontypridd Town, Karl Lewis announced he would leave the club at the end of the season. Darren Robinson was announced as his replacement shortly after.

### Cymru South 2019–20

For the 2019–20 season, Llantwit were inaugural members of the Cymru South. A number of improvements were made to the ground and pitch to be ready for the campaign, with the highlight being the addition of a new main stand.

Llantwit finished the season in 11th place, with the final standings determined on a points per game basis due to the coronavirus crisis. This meant Llantwit finished clear of relegation and would once again be in the second tier the following season. The highlight of the season was the return of former Manager Karl Lewis, who had overseen the most successful period in the history of the club.

### Cymru South 2021–22

With the 2020–21 campaign cancelled due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Llantwit once again remained in the Cymru South. Far from the relegation battle they were predicted to endure, Llantwit led the table for much of the 2021–22 season, and were crowned champions on 18 April 2022, following a 3–1 victory away at Undy Athletic. It was an outstanding campaign for the Major, beating almost every team in the league at least once, with Swansea University FC the only exception.

### Cymru South 2022–23

Before the 22/23 season, manager Karl Lewis decided to leave the club to become an assistant at Briton Ferry FC. He took seven current Llantwit players with him, leaving the club with a significant rebuild. New manager Stevie Campbell-McCarthy was quickly appointed, who went to work bringing in new players.

Former manager Lewis would continue to raid the club, taking a total of 15 former Llantwit players with him during the course of the season. Despite this, new signings such as Matt Kimmins and Paolo Marenghi enabled Llantwit to be in a decent position at the halfway point of the season, overcoming a poor start to the campaign to sit mid table. Despite a poor end to the season with no wins from the final 4, Llantwit strongly beat their expectations to finish in 7th place.

### Cymru South 2023–24

Stevie McCarthy-Campbell was dismissed early in the season, replaced by incoming manager Ben Stait. The Major were in the bottom three when Stait took over, but he bought around a huge improvement on the previous manager, and was able to secure safety on the final day of the season with a 3–0 victory away to Carmarthen Town. Llantwit had the best defence in the league over the second half of the season, and will be optimistic about the new campaign as the Ben Stait era can truly begin.

### Fenix Trophy

In 2023, Llantwit became the first Welsh side to play in the group stages of a UEFA competition, by being invited to the FENIX Trophy. They were drawn against sides from England and Denmark in the group stages. Llantwit performed well throughout the competition, finishing in 2nd place in Group A, including a historic 1–0 victory over reigning champions BK Skjold. This made Llantwit the first team in Welsh football history to win a UEFA group stage match.

Llantwit were invited back to the competition the following year, facing off against Belgian side Berchem Sport in the first round

### Anti-racism work

On 25th March 2023, the club turned out in opposition to a demonstration held by neo-Nazi group Patriotic Alternative. Later that afternoon, they played a match under the banner of Show Racism the Red Card against Afan Lido F.C., winning 2-0. Italian anti-fascist folk song Bella Ciao was played over the speaker.

title: Polyeleos

abstract: The Polyeleos is a festive portion of the Matins or All-Night Vigil service as observed on higher-ranking feast days in the Eastern Orthodox, Eastern Lutheran, and Byzantine Rite Catholic Churches. The Polyeleos is considered to be the high point of the service, and contains the reading of the Matins Gospel. Because of its liturgical importance, settings for the Polyeleos have been composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff and others. The name derives from Greek Πολυέλεος, meaning "of much mercy", because of the repetition in one of the Polyeleoi of the phrase "ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ", meaning "because forever [lasts] His mercy"),

# Polyeleos

The **Polyeleos** is a festive portion of the Matins or All-Night Vigil service as observed on higher-ranking feast days in the Eastern Orthodox, Eastern Lutheran, and Byzantine Rite Catholic Churches. The Polyeleos is considered to be the high point of the service, and contains the reading of the Matins Gospel. Because of its liturgical importance, settings for the Polyeleos have been composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff and others.

The name derives from Greek Πολυέλεος (pl. Πολυέλεοι), meaning "of much mercy", because of the repetition in one of the Polyeleoi of the phrase "ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ" (*hoti eis ton aiōna to eleos autou*), meaning "because forever \[lasts\] His mercy"),

## Psalms

Specifically, the Polyeleos consists of Psalms 134 and 135 (Septuagint numbering; King James Version: Psalms 135 and 136), which are solemnly chanted in a festive melody, with refrains Alleluia chanted between each verse. The refrain for Psalm 134 is "Alleluia". The refrain for Psalm 135 is "Alleluia, alleluia. For His mercy endureth forever. Alleluia." This repeated chanting of the word "mercy" is another reason for the chanting of these psalms to be called Polyeleos.

In its fullest musical setting, it can last up to over an hour. Nowadays, the psalms are usually shortened to only a few select verses each, except in certain monasteries.

During the chanting, Holy Doors are opened, and the clergy come out of the sanctuary to stand in front of the icon of the feast, which lies on an analogion in the center of the nave. The deacon (or priest, if there is no deacon) censes the icon of the feast being celebrated. However, if it is a Sunday service, the Holy Doors are opened, the clergy remain in the sanctuary and the priest censes the front of the Holy Table (altar).

On feast days, the Polyeleos is followed by selected verses of other psalms which are relevant to the feast. In the Greek Orthodox tradition, these verses are referred to as the *eklogarion*; in the Russian Orthodox usage a hymn called the *megalynarion* (magnification) is chanted between these selected verses, while the clergy perform a full censing of the church.

On Sundays, in place of the *eklogarion*, a hymn called the *Evlogitaria* is chanted in honor of the Resurrection, commemorating the journey of the Myrrhbearers on their way to the Tomb of Christ and the announcement of the Resurrection of Jesus. If a feast day with megalynarion falls on a Sunday, only the refrain of the megalynarion is chanted, once, after which the evlogitaria are chanted. (If, however, a Great Feast of the Lord falls on a Sunday, nothing of the ordinary Sunday service is chanted, but everything is chanted for the Great Feast, and the order follows that of weekdays.)

On the three Sundays before the beginning of Great Lent, Psalm 136 (KJV: Psalm 137), "By the waters of Babylon", is added to the Polyeleos. This psalm recounts the sorrow of the Jews during the Babylonian captivity, and their yearning for Jerusalem; and is prescribed by the Church at this time to bring forth in the faithful sorrow over their captivity to sin and yearning for the Heavenly Jerusalem.

In the Greek usage, Psalm 44 (KJV: Psalm 45) replaces Psalms 134 and 135 on feasts of the Theotokos (Mother of God).

## Portion of the service

In a wider sense, the term Polyeleos refers to an entire section of the Matins service which falls after the readings from the psalter and before the chanting of the canon. Services below the rank of Polyeleos are missing this section entirely (with the exception of Psalm 50, which is read every day except during Bright Week). The specific outline of the Polyeleos differs depending upon the day of the week:

### Sundays

*(On Sundays, the Polyeleos takes place in the sanctuary, with the clergy standing around the Holy Table, which represents the Tomb of Christ. Almost all of the hymns are chanted in the Tone of the Week)*

*Polyeleos* (Psalms 134 and 135) (*Megalynarion*, if any) *Evlogitaria* of the Resurrection—hymns based on Psalm 118 Little Ektenia (Litany) *Ypakoë*—hymn reflecting the obedience of those sent to proclaim the Resurrection Sessional Hymns—a type of hymn which follows readings from the Psalter *Anavathmoi*—hymns based on the Psalms of Degrees Prokeimenon in the Tone of the Week "Let every breath praise the Lord" in the same tone as the Prokeimenon Matins Gospel-one of the 11 lessons recounting the Resurrection Appearances of Jesus "Having Beheld the Resurrection of Christ"—a Resurrectional hymn Psalm 50 (KJV: Psalm 51) Troparia following Psalm 50—paschal hymns in honour of the Resurrection (these differ during Great Lent but are the same for the rest of the year) The "Great Intercession"—an extended petition, to which the choir respond, *Kyrie Eleison* 12 times

During certain seasons of the year, if there is no feast day of Polyeleos or higher rank occurring on a Sunday, Psalms 134 and 135 are replaced by Psalm 118 (KJV: Psalm 119).

### Weekdays

*(On weekdays, the Polyeleos takes place in the center of the church with the clergy standing around the icon of the feast. The hymns are set in various Tones, depending upon the taste of the hymnographers)*

*Polyeleos* (Psalms 134 and 135; or Psalm 44, if it is a Great Feast of the Theotokos) *Megalynarion* of the feast Little Ektenia *Sessional Hymn* (or *Ypakoë* if it is a Great Feast of the Lord) *Anavathmoi*—almost always the first antiphon in Tone 4 Prokeimenon in the Tone of the Week "Let every breath praise the Lord" in the same tone as the Prokeimenon Matins Gospel—a lesson which is specific to the feast day Psalm 50 Troparia following Psalm 50—speicific to the feast The "Great Intercession"—an extended petition, to which the choir respond, *Kyrie Eleison* 40 times

## Rank of feast

In the Orthodox ranking of feasts, a day of "Polyeleos" rank is a "Middle feast", ranking above a Great Doxology, and below an All-Night Vigil. In liturgical calendars it is symbolized by a Greek cross printed in red ().

## Chandelier

It is in the form of a very large circle (also called a *corona* or *horos*) with many candles on it, and is often adorned with icons of numerous saints. The chandelier, or "polyelaios" ("having much oil", a pun on *polyeleos*) is suspended by a chain from the ceiling. During the chanting of the Polyeleos psalms (134 and 135), all of the candles are lit and it is pushed with a rod so that it turns back and forth during the singing to symbolize the presence of the angels which will only add to the joy of the service. This practice is still seen in the monasteries of Mount Athos and in other traditional Orthodox monasteries throughout the world.

# Prisoner of Love (Tin Machine song)

"**Prisoner of Love**" is a song by Tin Machine taken from their eponymous debut album, issued as their third single in October 1989.

## Song development

Bowie claimed at the time he wrote the song for his then-partner Melissa Hurley. It reads as worldly advice from the singer to his naive younger girlfriend.

## Live performances and video

The band elected not to make music videos for singles from the album, and instead created a 13-minute megamix video, in which "Prisoner of Love" was included. The video, directed by Julien Temple, went unreleased commercially until its 30th anniversary in 2019.

"Prisoner of Love" was performed during the 1989 Tin Machine Tour. The single was backed by live tracks recorded at La Cigale, Paris on 25 June 1989, and had a novel heart-shaped 7" picture disc release. It failed to chart in the UK or the US.

# Merton Abbey, London

**Merton Abbey** is an area in southwest London, England. It lies between South Wimbledon and Colliers Wood in the London Borough of Merton. Merton Abbey takes its name from Merton Priory, which once stood on the northern edge of the district. The area is bounded by Merton High Street to the north, the River Wandle to the west, Christchurch Road to the east and Deen City Farm to the south.

Despite the area being considered by many to be part of neighbouring Colliers Wood, most of Merton Abbey falls within Merton's "Lavender Fields" ward. The area is within the SW postcode area.

## History

Most of what is now the Merton Abbey residential area fell within the grounds of Merton Priory. The priory was founded by Gilbert Norman, the Sheriff of Surrey in 1114 and was built on the southern edge of the Roman Road known as Stane Street. Merton Priory remained an important centre of learning in the area until it was sacked by King Henry VIII in 1538. Surviving sections of the old priory wall can still be found in many of the area's gardens, especially near Liberty Avenue.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the ruins of the sacked priory were gradually replaced by mills as heavy industry developed along the River Wandle. The south of the neighbourhood consisted mainly of lavender fields.

In the 18th century, the river itself was diverted from its original course and many waterways were created to drive the multitude of silk mills and bleaching works that had sprung up along this portion of the Wandle Valley.

To assist the local industries, the world's first railway line, the Surrey Iron Railway opened in 1803 and ran up what is now Christchurch Road. The line closed in 1838.

Merton Abbey, as a residential suburb, was developed in the 1930s, sitting to the south of the Liberty Print Works and Merton Board Mills. The neighbourhood was extended to the south with the addition of Brangwyn Crescent and neighbouring cul-de-sacs in the 1980s. This period also witnessed the demolition of Merton Board Mills, which was replaced by the Sainsbury's Savacentre. Merton Abbey station and railway line were also removed at this time and the line was replaced by the Merton relief road, Merantun Way. Liberty Print Works were eventually refurbished and converted into the Merton Abbey Mills craft village. In recent years, the remainder of the brownfield site to the east of Merton Abbey Mills has been developed into a residential complex which includes luxury apartments, a hotel, a gymnasium and several restaurants.

## Transport

The area sits equidistantly between Colliers Wood and South Wimbledon stations on the London Underground Northern line. Frequent buses connect the neighbourhood to Wimbledon town centre, as well as Morden, Mitcham, Richmond, Tooting and Clapham. Wimbledon station's District line, National Rail and Tramlink services are located a mile and a half to the northwest.

Until it was closed in 1929 the area was served by Merton Abbey railway station on the now defunct 'Merton Branch Line' between Merton Park railway station and Tooting Junction.

## Neighbouring areas

## Trivia

* ITV1 police drama The Bill's "Sunhill Police Station" is located in Merton Industrial Park just across the River Wandle in neighbouring South Wimbledon.
* The section of the River Wandle through Merton Abbey is a man-made diversion, constructed in the 18th century. The original river still flows beneath Liberty Avenue (once a river path) and turns north before Christchurch Road, resurfacing at Runnymede where it is now known as the Pickle Ditch before rejoining the modern river at the northeast corner of Sainsbury's.
* Merton Abbey's original telephone exchange code in the London director area was "542" (now "(020) 8542"). Before the advent of subscriber trunk dialling, the area's alpha-numeric code was "LIB", named after the local mill and written as, for example, "**LIB**erty 1234". On the old Post Office telephone dials, the letters "LIB" corresponded to the numbers "542", hence the modern exchange code.

# Visa policy of Mozambique

**Mozambique** allows most countries that are not visa exempt to obtain a visa on arrival. However, nationals of certain countries must obtain a visa online or from one of the Mozambican diplomatic missions around the world before being allowed into the country.

Mozambique is part of the Southern African Development Community, meaning that members of most other SADC countries do not require a tourist visa if visiting Mozambique for tourism purposes.

## Visa policy map

## Visa exemption

Citizens of the following countries do not need a visa to enter Mozambique for a stay up to the duration listed below:

1 - For holders of normal passports only.
2 - Since 1 May 2023, these nationals do not need a visa to enter Mozambique for 30 days if they pay a tax fee of 650 MT, provided that they present normal passports valid for 6 months on arrival, as well as a return or onward ticket and a hotel reservation confirmation. In addition, an extension of 30 days is possible.

### Non-ordinary passports

Holders of diplomatic and official, service or special passports of the following countries may enter without a visa:

|  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

D - Diplomatic passports only.
P - Community of Portuguese Language Countries.

### Future changes

Mozambique has signed visa exemption agreements with the following countries, but they have not yet entered into force:

| Country | Passports | Agreement signed on |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Uganda | All | September 2024 |
| Rwanda | Ordinary | October 2022 |
| Thailand | Diplomatic, service | 3 December 2018 |
| Rwanda | Diplomatic | July 2018 |
|

## Visa on arrival

Citizens of all other countries that are not visa exempt can obtain a visa on arrival in Mozambique, valid for a maximum stay of 30 days at all border posts, if they present a passport valid for 6 months on arrival and a return or onward ticket, as well as proof of sufficient funds to support their stay and proof of the purpose of their visit. A visa obtained on arrival costs 50 USD.

Despite visas stating they are valid for only 1 entry, visitors who have travelled to Eswatini and South Africa have found it was valid for 2 entries if the visa was still within its 30 day validity.

According to Timatic, visa on arrival is not available to citizens of the following countries:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |

However, citizens of these countries may obtain a visa on arrival if they hold a printed confirmation from the Immigration Authority (SENAMI) Headquarters in Maputo, indicating that a visa has been approved before departure and travel for the Rovuma Basin Project.

## Electronic Visa (e-Visa)

In December 2022, the Mozambique e-Visa system began operations. Nationals of all countries that are not visa-exempt can also apply for an e-Visa prior to entering Mozambique.

The official e-Visa website offers all types of visas, such as tourist, sports and business visas. The cost of the Tourist e-Visa is 6,250 MT for 30 days, 12,504 MT for 60 days, and 18,756.25 MT for 90 days.

**Trinity Broads** is a 316.8-hectare (783-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. They are in The Broads Special Area of Conservation. They are also part of the Broads National Park in Norfolk, England, comprising 5 broads in total. The three largest are Rollesby Broad, Ormesby Broad and Filby Broad, and there are two much smaller broads named Lily Broad and Ormesby Little Broad. They are managed by the Broads Authority.

The Trinity Broads are on a tributary of the River Bure, but there is no navigable link to the main river system, and they are therefore virtually undisturbed.

## Water supply

In 1995, most of the broads were bought by Essex and Suffolk Water, as a means of supplying water to Great Yarmouth. The quality of the water is good, and has been further protected by the construction of a sluice where Muck Fleet meets the River Bure. In order to meet their statutory requirements for conservation and recreation, ESW have formed a partnership with the Broads Authority, the Environment Agency and English Nature. A joint management plan has ensured that recreational use is maintained at a low level and the value of the broads as a wildlife habitat is retained. The level of water in Muck Fleet is lower than that of the River Bure, and water from the channel is pumped into the river by Stokesby pumping station, which is maintained by the internal drainage board.

A project to rectify poor water quality in Ormesby Broad began in 2010. Costing £120,000 over three years, the project involves pumping mud from the bottom of the lake. The mud is rich in nutrients, as a result of agricultural runoff, and removing it increases the capacity of the lake to store water, which is extracted as drinking water, as well as providing better habitat for reedbeds at the edges of the lake. Twelve lagoons were prepared to hold the mud until it dried, but initial archaeological investigation of the site for the lagoons revealed the presence of a Middle Bronze Age field system, the first such system found to the east of the Cambridgeshire Fens. The start of pumping was delayed while the site was investigated. Pumping began in March 2010, but was delayed again when live ammunition was sucked up in the mud, and became trapped in the pumps.

By mid-May, pumping had to stop, due to the rapid growth of aquatic plants. It resumed in August, and by early 2011, around 20,000 cubic yards (15,000 m3) had been removed. Once the mud had dried, the nutrients in it make it good for fertilising poor-quality soil, and it was ploughed in. When completed, around twice this volume of mud had been removed from the bottom of the broad.

## Recreation

No motor boats are allowed onto the Trinity Broads, although rowing boats and dinghies are available for hire. Muck Fleet, which connects the broads to the River Bure, is too shallow even for such craft.

Besides sailing, the broads are also very popular with anglers. Recently, new facilities for disabled people have been created, including a special platform for anglers in wheelchairs. Ormesby Little Broad is used for sailing model yachts, and the Norfolk Model Yacht Club have an arrangement with Essex and Suffolk Water, which allows them to use the broad for this purpose once a month. Like their larger counterparts, the use of petrol or oil engines is not permitted, and all remote control is therefore by electric motors.

## Water quality

The Environment Agency measure the water quality of the river systems in England. Each is given an overall ecological status, which may be one of five levels: high, good, moderate, poor and bad. There are several components that are used to determine this, including biological status, which looks at the quantity and varieties of invertebrates, angiosperms and fish. Chemical status, which compares the concentrations of various chemicals against known safe concentrations, is rated good or fail. Muck Fleet is designated as "heavily modified", which means that the channels have been altered by human activity, and the criteria for this designation are defined by the Water Framework Directive.

The water quality for Muck Fleet, which includes most of the broads, was as follows in 2019.

| Section | Ecological Status | Chemical Status | Length | Catchment | Channel |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Muck Fleetf | Moderate | Fail | 7.0 miles (11.3 km) | 18.81 square miles (48.7 km2) | heavily modified |

Reasons for the water quality being less than good include groundwater and surface water abstraction, physical modification of the channel, and runoff from agricultural and rural land. Like most rivers in the UK, the chemical status changed from good to fail in 2019, due to the presence of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) which had not previously been included in the assessment.

# Make Me Smile – The Best of Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel

***Make Me Smile – The Best of Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel*** is a compilation album by the British band Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, released by EMI on 27 April 1992.

## Background

Harley was approached by EMI to personally select the 16 tracks featured on *Make Me Smile – The Best of Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel*. Harley told the *Newcastle Evening Chronicle* in 1992, "I have been on the road for three years \[since returning to touring in 1989\], so I know which ones people prefer. It's a pretty good retrospective." Harley added to *Record Collector*, "There is at least one track from every album I ever made. I can't stop EMI, they can licence what they own to anyone they like. I have no thoughts on it at all. It's the past. I get paid."

To coincide with the compilation's release and the band's upcoming UK tour, EMI re-issued "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)" as a single. The album failed to enter the UK Albums Chart, but the single reached No. 46 in the UK Singles Chart and remained in the top 100 for two weeks.

On its release, Peter Kinghorn of the *Newcastle Evening Chronicle* commented, "Compiled with loving care by Steve himself, this anthology has some knockout tracks – all of which have grown in stature with the passing of time." Adam Higginbotham of *Select* was negative in his review, writing, "Apart from their indisputable high point, the superb 'Make Me Smile', the material produced at the peak of their popularity in the mid-'70s is now acutely embarrassing."

In the episode, Ben Kaplan (Alex Lanipekun) goes undercover to infiltrate an Al-Qaeda cell in London during a dry run before an expected attack. However, it later becomes apparent the terrorists are going to attack during the dry run.

Actor Alex Lanipekun believed the episode became a sort of "coming of age" for his character, as he had to deal with issues dealing with undercover operations including not to get close to a terrorist. The episode introduces the "Sugarhorse" story arc, which continues through to the series finale. In making the scene where Lucas North was waterboarded, Richard Armitage who portrays him was subjected to the actual torture to ensure the scene's authenticity. It was seen by over five million viewers after its original broadcast, and was given generally positive reviews. However, it received criticism for featuring the waterboarding scene.

## Plot

Chief of Section D Ros Myers (Hermione Norris) introduces Lucas North (Richard Armitage) to one of Adam Carter's assets, Pakistani intelligence officer Marlin (Emilio Doorgasingh). Marlin has information about a planned attack by Al-Qaeda; a cell intends to create Internet chatter, followed by a dry run, after which they will commence a series of suicide attacks. The ringleader behind this is Nadif Abdelrashid (Ariyon Bakare) who was previously responsible for similar attacks in Turkey and Somalia. Ben Kaplan is in his first undercover operation disguised as a recent convert to Islam and becomes part of the cell. As part of his cover, Ben shares a flat with Jawad (Tariq Jordan), another member. However, over the course of the operation Ben becomes close to Jawad, which Ben's handler Lucas advises against, as Jawad is not an innocent.

When Malcolm Wynn-Jones (Hugh Simon) discovers the chatter, Ben relays to the team that the dry run will commence the following day. On the day, Ben finds that Abdelrashid intends to carry out the attack ahead of schedule and during the dry run after Ben, Jawad, and two other men are given bombs. Ben relays this message to Lucas. Ros dispatches CO19 to apprehend Abdelrachid in his office, who intends to remote detonate the bombs. Another CO19 squad, as well as Lucas and Jo Portman (Miranda Raison) follow the cell members to a street market, which they will use to maximise civilian casualties. Ben admits he is MI5 to Jawad, who runs in panic and attempts to manually detonate his bomb; this results in getting gunned down by CO19 officers, much to Ben's dismay. After stopping another two bombs, Jawad's mobile phone rings, revealing Abdelrashid is not the "Mr. Big"; it is Marlin. He remote detonates the last bomb, killing the terrorist and the two CO19 officers holding him.

Although one bomb did detonate, Harry Pearce (Peter Firth) views the operation a success, as the other three did not, and no civilians were killed. Ben tells Lucas he was right about Jawad; he chose to become a bomber over seeing his family. Lucas receives a call from Marlin, who asks to meet with him. During the confrontation, Marlin admits he was forced to become Mr. Big when terrorists kidnapped his family. Now knowing he has failed, he commits suicide.

In a subplot, rainwater falls onto Lucas's face, which triggers a flashback where he was tortured by FSB interrogators during his eight-year imprisonment in Russia. The interrogators question him on "Sugarhorse." Lucas relays this to Harry, who claims not knowing what Sugarhorse is. However, he later visits a retired spycatcher Bernard Qualtrough (Richard Johnson) believing there is high level mole within MI5. He only reveals that Sugarhorse is MI5's "best kept secret" that only five people, including Richard Dolby (Robert East), the Director General, and himself, know the details of. Harry later returns to Qualtrough's bookstore to find out who the mole might be, starting by looking into Dolby's file.

## Production

The episode was written by Russell Lewis, with additional writing by Ben Richards. Ben Kaplan became the central character of the episode. Actor Alex Lanipekin, who portrays Ben, stated that "The Tip-Off" was a "kind of a coming of age" for the character, dealing with his first undercover operation. Lanipekun expanded:

> *First time he went undercover in episode three, and having to deal with death, with Adam, and then also in \[the episode\] with someone where he goes undercover with to try and infiltrate a cell, and then he gets close to the person that he is supposed to be watching. And there's that kind of duality there and that borderline, and Ben stepping over the line, and having coming to terms to what the agenda is at the end of episode three; we don't have to understand \[the terrorists\], we have to stop them and that is actually an important moment for the character.*
>
> Alex Lanipekun

The episode also introduces a story-arc, about Sugarhorse, that would be resolved by the end of the seventh series. Hermione Norris describes Sugarhorse as "a group of spies who were brought together after the ending of the cold war to infiltrate, at the highest level, all forms of Russian intelligence so that if a nuclear power ever came into being and was at the hands of the Russian people, MI5 and MI6 could infiltrate it and stop it." The cast read the brief on Sugarhorse, but were then told to shred it in order to maintain its secrecy from fans.

In a flashback sequence of the episode, Lucas is subjected to waterboarding, a method of torture. In order to ensure the authenticity of the sequence, Armitage was subjected to the actual torture. He agreed to perform the sequence after he was convinced by consultants from the FSB and CIA. Armitage was only waterboarded for a short time, and was filmed in slow motion to make it appear as if he was on for longer. Kudos film and television, the production company behind *Spooks*, had to follow several health and safety provisions from an advisor to ensure the sequence strictly adheres to the advice. The advisor and a medic were present during filming. The ambient temperature of the room was raised to make Armitage as comfortable as possible. However, after the sequence was shot, Armitage changed his opinion entirely, stating; "I only lasted five to ten seconds, and the sound of my voice crying out to stop isn't me acting."

## Broadcast and reception

The episode was originally broadcast on the digital channel BBC Three from 11 pm on Tuesday, 28 October 2008, after the broadcast of the second episode on BBC One. The episode would later be repeated on BBC One on Monday, 3 November 2008 during the 9 pm to 10 pm time slot, except in Northern Ireland, where it was withheld until 10:35 pm. There is no ratings data available for the BBC Three broadcast. On the BBC One broadcast, the episode was seen by 5.2 million viewers, an improvement of 140,000 from the previous episode, with a 21.6 per cent audience share, winning its time slot against the return of detective series *Taggart* on ITV1, and other terrestrial channels. According to the Broadcasters' Audience Research Board, the episode received final viewing figures of 5.59 million, making the episode the 17th most seen broadcast on BBC One, and 32nd in overall television the week it was shown.

Mof Gimmers of *TV Scoop* was positive towards the episode, calling it "a tense week for Section D" and added "our guys did a pretty good job." Gimmers also thought Ben "did well on his first undercover mission too, didn't you think? Apart from verging on sympathy for the young brainwashed bombers. Still, he's young. He'll get over it." On Ros' role in the episode, Gimmers said "I don't think I'll ever be able to say I'm "warming" to such an ice queen as Ros, but I will admit to a growing admiration." Scott Matthewman of *The Stage* stated "the seventh series of the spy show continues apace," and praised the episode for "the superb performance of Hermione Norris as Ros Myers, fast becoming the twisted moral centre of the show. Both she and Peter Firth's Harry Pearce get some great dialogue every week, so it's a shame that the rest of the cast aren’t afforded the same luxury."

*The Guardian* columnist Zoe Williams criticised the actual waterboarding in the torture scene, saying "it's really unpleasant, \[Armitage\] concurred. 'I only lasted five to 10 seconds, and the sound of my voice crying out to stop isn't me acting.' Pal, that's nice that you're not showing off but this is all wrong and despicable: it's like locking yourself and 10 friends into a loo on a commuter train, to see what it would be like on the train to Auschwitz. If you can make it stop whenever you like, you're learning nothing and kicking people in the face while you're at it."

# Private School League

The **Private School League** was a high school conference in northeastern Illinois. The conference participated in athletics and activities in the Illinois High School Association. The conference comprised 28 small private schools, with enrollments between 50 and 400 students, in Bureau, DuPage, Kane, Lake, LaSalle, McHenry, Will, and Winnebago counties.

## History

In December 1930, five private religious and secular schools in the Chicago area came together to create an athletic conference for non-public schools. The five schools weren Chicago Christian of Palos Heights, Chicago Luther Institute, Wheaton Academy, Chicago Central YMCA, and the Pullman Free School of Manual Training in Chicago. Initially the conference was organized for basketball only; however, as time progressed, the conference added other sports.

The league soon expanded with other secular and private academies. In 1931, Pullman School withdrew from the league. In 1935, Chicago Harvard School and Chicago North Park Academy joined, as did Francis W. Parker School and Woodstock Todd Seminary in 1936. Another addition to the league occurred in 1938, with Chicago Latin School, Chicago University High School, and the high school program of Concordia Teachers College joining. Chicago Central YMCA withdrew in 1939, leaving the league with a total of 10 teams as the 1940 school year commenced.

Luther Institute split into Luther North and Luther South in 1953, and in 1954, Elgin Academy, Glenwood School, and North Shore Country Day School joined the conference. In 1955, Walther Lutheran High School (Melrose Park) joined the league. With these additions, the league divided into two divisions with a championship game between the division winners. The championship game was dropped after 1957 but the division set up remained until 1966 when 6 schools left to form the Independent School League. Those schools were Chicago Latin, Elgin Academy, Francis W. Parker School, Glenwood School for boys, Morgan Park Academy, and North Shore Country Day. Morgan Park Academy had joined in 1960, however, it was included with the six teams that exited the conference and with Chicago Harvard leaving the conference in 1962, it left the league with a total of seven teams at the beginning of the 1967 school year.

North Park Academy departed the conference in 1969, Wheaton Academy left in 1971. To replace them, Little Flower Academy and Providence Catholic High School were added in 1971. Aurora Central Catholic High School was added in 1973 when Little Flower Academy closed, keeping the league at seven members as the 1970s came to a close.

Nazareth Academy joined in 1980, and Wheaton Academy returned to the league in 1984 for just the one season. In 1987, Providence Catholic High School left while in 1995, St. Gregory and Peru St. Bede joined. Aurora Central Catholic High School left the conference in 1997 and in 1998, St. Gregory and Peru St. Bede left the league and Aurora Christian High School joined. In 2001, Nazareth Academy left but Rockford Christian High School, Rockford Christian Life High School, and Rockford Lutheran High School became members of the league. In 2003, Rockford Christian and Lutheran left and Lake Forest Academy joined. In 2005, Seton Academy became the final addition to the league, although Wheaton Academy, a team that had been part of the league two times before, returned in 2007. As the conference came to a conclusion in 2009, it had ten teams, most of which joined the Suburban Christian Conference, Metro Suburban Conference, Northeastern Athletic Conference, or Independent School League.

## All-Time Membership

The Private School League had 29 teams throughout its history, the list of schools encompasses all of the schools which were once a part of the conference.

title: Merton Abbey Mills

abstract: Merton Abbey Mills is a former textile factory in the parish of Merton in London, England near the site of the medieval Merton Priory, now the home of a variety of businesses, mostly retailers. The River Wandle flowing north towards Wandsworth drove watermills and provided water for a number of industrial processes in Merton. Merton Abbey Mills were established by Huguenot silk throwers in the early eighteenth century; there were already textile works nearby from 1667, including those that became the Merton Abbey Works, site of design firm Morris & Co. from 1881 to 1940. Liberty & Co. had been involved with the site since the 19th century, as their popular ranges of fabrics for dress and furniture were nearly all made there by Littler and Co. In 1904 Liberty & Co took over the Littler site. They continued to operate the Merton Abbey Mills until 1972, and textile production was continued by other firms until 1982. During World War II part of the site was used to construct gun-turrets for the Bristol Blenheim fighter-bomber. Today Merton Abbey Mills is a crafts market and the site of a summer theatre and music festival called Abbeyfest. A number of buildings from the Liberty period, and even earlier, survive, and there are displays on the history of the site. A water-mill still turns in the summer, and the "colourhouse", a mid-18th century industrial building, is now a children's theatre. The water-mill and colour house are both Grade II listed buildings.
