title: Wanda Jackson albums discography

abstract: The albums discography of Wanda Jackson, an American recording artist, consists of 44 studio albums, 37 compilation albums, four live albums, one video album, two box sets and has appeared on 26 albums. In 1954 at age sixteen, Jackson signed with Decca Records as a country music artist. The label did not issue a record until the 1962 compilation Lovin' Country Style, six years after Jackson left Decca. She signed with Capitol Records in 1956, and her self-titled debut studio album was released three years later. Although Jackson had recently been identifying herself as a rock-and-roll performer, the album consisted of country music recordings. However, it did contain Jackson's future rock-and-roll hit "Let's Have a Party", which was a hit in 1960, reaching the Top 40 on the Billboard Pop chart. The success of her rock-and-roll recordings led to the release of two more rock-and-roll studio LPs: Rockin' with Wanda (1960) and There's a Party Goin' On (1961). Additionally, Capitol issued two "split" studio albums which contained rock and roll on one side and country music on the other. As rock and roll started declining in the early 1960s, Jackson was remarketed as a country artist. During this transitional period, her album production moved towards country pop and Nashville Sound styles on studio LPs such as Wonderful Wanda (1962) and Love Me Forever (1963). Jackson's 1965 studio album Blues in My Heart was her first to chart on a Billboard Magazine album list, peaking at number nine on the Country LP chart. While recording a tribute album to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1967, Jackson issued an album of German songs, entitled Made in Germany. While remaining on Capitol Records, various country-marketed studio albums were issued that peaked in the Billboard Top Country Albums chart: Reckless Love Affair, Cream of the Crop, The Many Moods of Wanda Jackson, and I've Gotta Sing. In 1968, the compilation album The Best of Wanda Jackson reached number 29 on the Top Country Albums chart. Her first live album, Wanda Jackson in Person, was released the following year. Converting to Christianity in 1971, Jackson released her first religious studio album, Praise the Lord. Deciding to record more religious music, she signed with the Word and Myrrh labels in the mid-1970s. Several albums of gospel hymns were issued, such as Make Me Like a Child Again (1976), I'll Still Love You (1976), and Show Me the Way to Calvary (1981). Additionally, Jackson released several cover records of country recordings, including Good Times (1980), Let's Have a Party (1982), and Classy Country (1988). Around this time, Jackson's rock-and-roll material was revived in Europe, where she launched a tour and issued several rockabilly studio albums, including Rockabilly Fever (1984), recorded in Sweden; a duet album with Karel Zich in 1987; and a live album in 1989. In response, the German-based Bear Family Records issued two box sets of Jackson's rock and country recordings. Jackson continued issuing gospel as well as rock albums into the 1990s. SHe released a fourth live album in 2000. Her album Heart Trouble (2003) and an album of cover versions of Elvis Presley songs both received critical acclaim. Following her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2009), Jack White produced Jackson's "comeback album", The Party Ain't Over (2011), which brought renewed success to Jackson. The album became her first since 1973 to chart, peaking at number 58 on the Billboard 200 and number 17 on the Top Rock Albums chart. With The Party Ain't Over, Jackson became the oldest female artist to place an album on the Billboard 200 chart, at the age of 73. In October 2012, Justin Townes Earle produced her forty-fifth studio record, Unfinished Business, which reached number 61 on the Top Country Albums chart.

# Wang Dazhi

**Wang Dazhi** (Chinese: 汪达之; pinyin: *Wāng Dázhī*; April 21, 1903  March 27, 1980) was a Chinese educator.

## Biography

Wang Dazhi was born in Yi County, Anhui in 1903. He attended the Nanjing Xiaozhuang Normal College, which was founded by Tao Xingzhi. After graduating in 1928, Tao appointed him to be the principal of the Xin'an Primary School, a rural school in Huai'an, Jiangsu province that Tao had established, from 1928 to 1935.

In 1935, Wang Dazhi established the *Xin'an Lüxing Tuan* or Xin'an Traveling Group (新安旅行团) to test Tao Xingzhi's education philosophy of treating society as one's school and to advocate national salvation in the face of Japanese aggression. On October 10, 1935, Wang and 14 primary students left Huaian and began a 25,000 km journey that would take 17 years through 22 provinces and Hong Kong. Along the way, they held public rallies, showed film, held dramatic and dance performances, sang songs, wrote articles and created artworks to advocated national salvation and anti-Japanese resistance. Their group expanded to several hundred youth members. They had no formal school structure but continued their education by teaching each other, inviting guest lecturers and undertaking new activities such as filmmaking and choreography. Famous songwriters such as Wang Luobin, Tian Han and Nie Er wrote songs for them. Group members were invited to act in Cai Chusheng's films.

They also drew patronage from political and military leaders across party lines. Luminaries who lent support include Chen Guofu, Zhou Fohai, Feng Yuxiang, Jiang Qing, Tong Lin'ge, Zhao Dengyu, Fu Zuoyi, Ma Bufang, Wang Luobin, Zhu Shaoliang, Chen Cheng, Zhou Enlai, Guo Moruo, Tian Han, Bai Chongxi, Du Yuming, Li Jishen, Zhang Fakui, Li Kenong, Liao Chengzhi, Liu Shaoqi, Chen Yi, Zhang Aiping, Huang Kecheng, Su Yu, Rao Shushi and Zhu De. Tao Xingzhi recounted the group's exploits in his fundraising trips overseas.

Many of Wang's students in the Xin'an Traveling Group went on to become accomplished artists, musicians, writers and leaders in the Chinese artistic world, including two past presidents of the China Academy of Art.

After the People's Republic of China was founded, Wang Dazhi first served as the president of Nanjing Xiaozhuang Normal College, his alma mater, which had been closed due to political reasons in 1930. He then moved to Beijing to become the deputy director of Chinese Character Reform Committee (中国文字改革委员会) at the Ministry of Education and later to Hainan where he served as the Party Secretary of Guangdong College of Nationalities.

Wang died in Beijing in March 1980 and is buried near the Xin'an Primary School in Huaian.

## Biography

Wang was born on Jianghua County, Hunan as his father was a businessman around the area. He joined the Hunan Army in his early years to suppress the Taiping Rebellion. He later followed Zuo Zongtang to reclaim Xinjiang. In 1884, during the Sino-French War, he was transferred to Guangxi and recruited eight new battalions, known as the Dingbian Army. Together with Feng Zicai, he won at the Battle of Zhennan Pass in February 1885 and became a national hero; however, he was implicated in Li Hongzhang's political struggle with the Left, and his official career was suppressed by Li Hongzhang for nearly two years. He was promoted to a high-ranking official in Peking and died during his tenure.

title: Mercury transporter

abstract: The mercury transporter superfamily is a family of transmembrane bacterial transporters of mercury ions. The common origin of all Mer superfamily members has been established. The common elements between family members are included in TMSs 1-2. A representative list of the subfamilies and proteins that belong to those subfamilies is available in the Transporter Classification Database.

# Mercury transporter

The **mercury transporter superfamily** (TC# 1.A.72) is a family of transmembrane bacterial transporters of mercury ions. The common origin of all Mer superfamily members has been established. The common elements between family members are included in TMSs 1-2. A representative list of the subfamilies and proteins that belong to those subfamilies is available in the Transporter Classification Database.

## Subfamilies

* 1.A.72.1: The MerF Mercuric Ion (Hg²⁺) Uptake (MerF) Family
* 1.A.72.2: The MerH Mercuric Ion (Hg²⁺) Permease (MerH) Family
* 1.A.72.3: The MerTP Mercuric Ion (Hg²⁺) Permease (MerTP) Family
* 1.A.72.4: The MerC Mercuric Ion (Hg²⁺) Permease (MerC) Family
* 1.A.72.5: The MerE Mercuric Ion (Hg²⁺) Permease (MerE) Family

## Transport Reaction

The transport reaction catalyzed by Mer Superfamily members is:

Hg2+ or methyl-Hg2+ (out) → Hg2+ or methyl-Hg2+ (in)

## MerF

The MerF protein encoded on plasmid pMER327/419 is an 81 residue polypeptide with two putative TMSs. It catalyzes uptake of Hg2+ in preparation for reduction by mercuric reductase. The MerF gene is found on mercury resistant plasmids from many gram-negative bacteria, but the sequence of the protein from these plasmids is the same. Limited sequence similarity is shown with the first two TMSs of MerT (TC# 1.A.72.3) and MerC (TC# 1.A.72.4). MerF has two vicinal pairs of cysteine residues which are involved in the transport of Hg(II) across the membrane and are exposed to the cytoplasm. Some members of the MerF family have been designated MerH.

### Crystal structures

PDB: 1WAZ, 2H3O, 2LJ2, 2M67, 2MOZ

## MerTP

The MerTP permeases catalyze uptake into bacterial cells of Hg2+ in preparation for its reduction by the MerA mercuric reductase. The Hgo produced by MerA is volatile and passively diffuses out of the cell. The *merT* and *merP* genes are found on mercury resistance plasmids and transposons of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria but are also chromosomally encoded in some bacteria. MerT consists of about 130 amino acids and has 3 transmembrane helical segments. Operon analyses have been reported.

## MerP

MerP is a periplasmic Hg2+-binding receptor of about 70-80 amino acyl residues, synthesized with a cleavable N-terminal leader. It is homologous to the N-terminal heavy metal binding domains of the copper-and cadmium-transporting P-type ATPases. The 3-D structure of MerP from *Ralstonia metallidurans* has been solved to 2 Å resolution (PDB: 1OSD). It is 91 amino acyl residues (aas) long with its leader sequence, is monomeric, and binds a single Hg2+ ion. Hg2+ is bound to a sequence GMTCXXC found in metallochaperones as well as metal-transporting ATPases. The fold is βαββαβ, called the ''ferridoxin-like fold''.

## MerT

MerT homologues have been identified in which the 3 TMS MerT is fused to a MerP ''heavy metal associated'' (HMA) domain, possibly via a linker region that includes a fourth TMS (see 1.A.72.3.3). HMA domains of ~30 aas are found in MerP, copper chaperone proteins, mercuric reductase, and at the N-termini of both copper and heavy metal P-type ATPases, sometimes in multiple copies.

## MerC

The MerC protein encoded on the IncJ plasmid pMERPH of the *Shewanella putrefaciens* mercuric resistance operon is 137 amino acids in length and possesses four putative transmembrane α-helical spanners (TMSs). It has been shown to bind and take up Hg2+ ions. *merC* genes are encoded on several plasmids of gram-negative bacteria and may also be chromosomally encoded. MerC proteins are homologous to other bacterial Hg2+ bacterial transporters.

## MerE

See Kiyono, Masako; Sone, Yuka; Nakamura, Ryosuke; Pan-Hou, Hidemitsu; Sakabe, Kou (2009-04-02).

text:
# Mercury swivel commutator

A **mercury swivel commutator** is a connector mainly used in animal experimentation to prevent the twisting of electrode wires attached to moving animals.

## Application

Mercury swivel commutators are typically used in electrophysiological experiments on head-free or moving animals. Whereas electrical recordings from stationary, head-fixed animals can be done with electrodes attached directly with wires to the amplifier and recording setup on a stereotaxtic rig, in freely moving animals a commutator is needed to prevent twisting of the wires attaching the electrode, which moves and rotates with the animal's head (often multiple revolutions in one direction), to the amplifier/recorder, which is in a fixed position.

## Mechanism

A mercury swivel commutator is a type of electrical commutator. These traditionally use slip rings for coupling, which can introduce electrical noise into the connection as the contact points slide over the surface of the slip-rings, causing microscopic bumps which result in uneven conductivity. To reduce the electrical noise the contact points need to be pressed against the slip rings with greater force. This leads to resistance when moving the ring, as well as a higher rate of wear. Using liquid mercury as the conductor reduces commutator noise and friction, enabling commutator use for small weaker animals.

## Other uses

Many machinery manufacturers have switched to using mercury swivel commutators instead of slip rings. For example, packaging machines have moving parts that are heated to seal packages after they are filled. Slip rings are traditionally used but these can introduce electrical noise and signal degradation into temperature sensing circuit, whereas mercury swivel commutators are more reliable and accurate. Multiple channel mercury swivel commutators also make it possible to pass the power and the temperature signals through the same rotating electrical connector, which has the benefit of minimizing the number of connector parts needed.


title: Walker Cress

abstract: Walker James Cress was an American professional baseball player and scout. The right-handed pitcher appeared in 33 Major League Baseball games, 31 in relief, in 1948 and part of 1949 for the Cincinnati Reds. Born in Ben Hur, Virginia, and nicknamed "Foots", he was listed as 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m) tall and 205 pounds (93 kg). Cress played baseball for Louisiana State University from 1938 to 1939. His professional playing career began in 1939 in the Boston Red Sox' farm system. He missed the 1943–1945 seasons in World War II military service, but the website Baseball in Wartime lists no service branch under his name. In 1946, Cress returned to baseball and won 19 of 22 decisions for the Lynn Red Sox of the Class B New England League. The next year, 1947, he won 15 of 20 decisions for the New Orleans Pelicans of the Double-A Southern Association. Cress then was acquired by Cincinnati, setting the stage for his major-league career. He worked in 30 games for the 1948 Reds, with two assignments as a starting pitcher. He posted his only MLB complete game on October 1, 1948, during the season's final weekend. Facing the Pittsburgh Pirates at Crosley Field, he had held the Bucs to two hits and no runs over eight innings, and was nursing a 1–0 lead going into the ninth. But in the final frame, he surrendered four hits and two runs, and when the Reds could not respond in their half of the ninth, Cress was tagged with the loss, his only MLB decision. Cress then worked in three early-season games in 1949 and pitched two scoreless innings coming of the Reds' bullpen before returning to the minors for the rest of his career. As a big leaguer, he allowed 62 hits and 45 bases on balls in 62 total innings pitched, with 33 strikeouts and no saves. He won a combined 33 games for the Tulsa Oilers of the Double-A Texas League in 1949–50, and ended his minor-league career with 99 victories. After his pitching career, Cress resided in Baton Rouge, LA, working as an electrician, and became a scout for the St. Louis Cardinals, Houston Astros, and San Francisco Giants. He later became the Director of Recreation for BREC, a recreational organization in East Baton Rouge Parish. Cress died at the age of 79 on April 21, 1996, in Baton Rouge.

# Wally Clark (zoologist)

**Walter Clive Clark** (22 October 1927 – 21 November 2019) was a New Zealand zoologist who specialised in the study of nematodes and pycnogonids. He was a professor at Massey University and later the University of Canterbury.

## Early life, family, and education

Born in Christchurch on 22 October 1927, Clark was the son of Clive Harold Clark and Ellen Martha Clark (née Baldwin). He had his early education at Bruce Bay, where his academic potential was first recognised, before moving back to Christchurch about the end of 1942. Clark later studied at Canterbury University College, graduating MSc with first-class honours in 1957. He was an assistant lecturer in biology at Christchurch Teachers' College from 1954 to 1955 and an assistant lecturer in zoology at Canterbury from 1956 to 1957. He was then a principal scientific officer in nematology in the entomology division of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) in Nelson from 1957 to 1964. The DSIR supported Clark to undertake doctoral studies, and he completed a PhD at Imperial College London, supervised by Bernard Peters and Charles Potter, in 1961. The title of his doctoral thesis was *Systematic and morphological studies on some Enoplida Nematoda, with special reference to the soil fauna of New Zealand*.

In 1958, Clark married Gwenda Bellamy Goodman.

## Academic career

Clark was appointed professor of zoology at Massey University in 1964, but in 1967 he returned to Department of Zoology at the University of Canterbury as a reader (equivalent to associate professor). He rose to the rank of professor and also served as head of department. His main research interests were nematodes and pycnogonids. On his retirement from Canterbury in 1988, Clark was conferred the title of professor emeritus.

Among the research students supervised by Clark was Gregor Yeates, who completed his PhD on the ecology of nematodes in sand dunes in 1968.

## Later life and death

In retirement, Clark lived in the small town of Woodend. His first wife died in 1999, and he later remarried, to Clover. He died on 21 November 2019.

# The Black Leather Jacket

***The Black Leather Jacket*** is a book written by English journalist and author Mick Farren published in 1985.

## Book

The book chronicles the history of the black leather jacket over a seventy-year span up to the mid-1980s, taking in all aspects of its social, cultural and political impact. In the introduction, Farren says: "The black leather jacket has always been the uniform of the bad. Hitler's Gestapo, the Hell's Angels, the Black Panthers, punk rockers, gay bar cruisers, rock 'n' roll animals and the hardcore mutations of the eighties all adopted it as their own."

Initial prints of the book came in leather effect cover. The paperback version had a studio still of Marlon Brando in *The Wild One*.

## Television documentary

The book was adapted into a 60-minute television documentary shown on the United Kingdom television channel Channel 4 in 1988. Nick Mead directed and co-wrote the script with Farren, Paul Cowan produced. The voice over was provided by United States actor Dennis Hopper, with Michael Vartan playing the part of the Motorcycle Boy.

## Song

The title music for the television documentary was written and performed by the British heavy rock group Motörhead. Motörhead frontman Lemmy had known Farren since the late 1960s and they had often collaborated, composing songs for The Deviants, Hawkwind and Motörhead. The song remained unreleased until the 2003 *Stone Deaf Forever!* boxset was issued.

# TDLR 5

**Tralee and Dingle Light Railway 5** is a 2-6-2 locomotive manufactured by the Hunslet Engine Company in 1892 for the Tralee and Dingle Light Railway.

It is difficult to understand why the Tralee and Dingle acquired this particular locomotive. Perhaps they were looking for a locomotive more suited to passenger work, the pony truck should give a better ride for the crews over lightly laid track, perhaps the extra truck was needed to keep the axle-weight down as No. 5 was some 9 tons heavier than the other, earlier Hunslets or, as it was fitted for oil-burning from new it could be that Hunslets, in looking for a narrow gauge railway on which to demonstrate their product, gave a good deal on the price, and railways were always looking for a good deal to help their finances. Regardless of which No. 5 arrived in 1892 and on the 1925 amalgamation became the sole representative of GSR Class 5T or Class PN2.

## History

Tralee and Dingle locomotive No. 5 was delivered from its builders, The Hunslet Engine Company, of Leeds as their works number 555 in 1892, ready fitted for oil-burning. It is believed that this was a prototype and Hunslet were looking for a railway to demonstrate its product, one of the first for narrow gauge. The T&D also purchased two oil-burning units for fitting to its other locomotives but they were never used. No.5 was converted to burn coal after only a short career as an oil-burner.

Like the earlier Hunslet products No. 5 was delivered ready for “tramway” operation, fitted with “skirts” to cover the motion, a boiler mounted bell and headlights. As with the other locomotives the “skirts” had a short life and were removed to facilitate easy access to the motion oiling points etc.

A new boiler was fitted in 1906 and, being a favourite of the engine crews, it saw many miles under its belt before being stopped in 1948 and taken to Inchicore Works. It was outshopped in 1949 and, with no work on its home line, sent to the Cavan and Leitrim Railway where it served until final withdrawal from service in 1959. It was always said that this locomotive covered the most miles of all the T&D fleet it was so well liked by the crews, however this was put beyond doubt when it crossed the Atlantic in 1959 to return in 1988 to run again on its home metals.

## Livery

Tralee and Dingle locomotive livery was a dark green outlined with red between two cream lines, with red buffer beams. Following the 1925 amalgamation the livery became that of the GSR, with locomotives painted plain grey with red buffer beams. It carried this livery, in common with other TDLR locos, on into CIÉ days and retained it until withdrawal.

## Preservation

Locomotive No.5 was withdrawn from service in 1959 and bought by American millionaire F. Nelson Blount and was sent to the Steamtown Museum in Bellows Falls, Vermont, where it was cosmetically restored to TDLR condition and placed on static display. In 1988, No. 5 returned to Tralee where, after 5 years, it was restored to working order for duties on the 1½ miles reopened section of the TDLR between Tralee and Blennerville.

The locomotive is out of service after failing a boiler certificate and the whole project has ground to a halt as a result. With the line closed again, a decision on its future depends on funding. 5 now lies dismantled in its shed.

# The Amur River: Between Russia and China

***The Amur River: Between Russia and China*** is a 2021 book by Colin Thubron. It is an account of his travel from Mongolia to Russia to China, mostly along the Amur River.

## Content

The book recounts author Colin Thubron's account of spending nearly two years traveling along the Amur River, from source to sea.

The river, which is over 2800 miles long goes by different names in each of the countries it flows through. Known as the Onon in northern Mongolia (where it is deemed sacred by the local horsemen), it becomes *Shilka* in Siberia and is called the *Heilongjiang*, or *Black Dragon River* in China. The author follows the river until it ends up in the Pacific at the Sea of Okhotsk.

"The book is more the story of the river and its people, with the author’s travels woven into the story, rather than a justification for the writer’s travels."

This is the author's 10th travel book. His travel writing has mostly been focusing on the previous USSR and China regions. In the past, Thubron has written astutely of political borders, ethnic realities and nationhood before, notably in his 2006 *Shadow of the Silk Road*."

## Reviews and Acclaim

* In its review of the book, the *Spectator* praises this book by concluding that "Thubron, having seen and reflected, has distilled his observations into a volume that will outlive Cassandras, post-Soviet gangsters and every smuggler who ever stacked a raft."
* The Washington Post included it in its *Best Travel Books of 2021* list, claiming that this "evocative book \[...\] sweeps readers into a landscape that Thubron — a meticulous researcher — enriches with history and his own decades of voyaging through the region."
* *Wanderlust* included this book in its list of *The Best Travel Books for 2021* calling it, "a powerful, relevant tale worthy of his very best work."
* The NY Times book review published on September 24, 2021, was more critical of the book, claiming that Thubron "... shies from making connections of any sort between the world through which he travels and the one in which we live as if the places he explores exist on some other planet."

title: On the Verge (film)

abstract:
On The Verge is a 90-minute independent film documentary made by SchNEWS SchMovies that was supposed to have its premiere screening at the Duke of York's Cinema, Brighton, UK, on 17 March 2008. The film covers the history of the Smash EDO anti-war campaign in Brighton, which protested against the arms manufacturer EDO MBM Technology Ltd located in the town from 2004 to 2008. The film is critical of the Sussex Police, arguing that they colluded with the company to intimidate protesters and bolster the case for a High Court harassment injunction. This would have banned anti-war protests outside the factory, but a judge found the company had abused the legal process. The film showing was cancelled at the last moment as a result of an intervention by Sussex Police who worked with Brighton and Hove Council to threaten the cinema with legal action if the showing went ahead. The film had not been certificated by the local authority and the council claimed it would have breached local health and safety laws if shown. The cinema was told by the council that the police had contacted them and informed them of the breach in licensing law, but the police denied this, saying that they never get involved in issues of film certification. Later Sussex Police admitted that "a junior officer,...not based in the city" had contacted the council about the film. Council documents released in April 2008 under the Freedom of Information Act concealed the identity and location of the complaining police officer. Sussex Police released a single notebook entry and refused to confirm or deny the existence of other information.
In March 2008 the film began a tour of venues across Britain and was dogged by similar censorious events in a number of towns and cities in what appeared to be a coordinated campaign by unknown elements in the British establishment to have the film banned. In May 2008 SchNEWS reported that the secret Sussex police officer who had contacted Brighton council had been identified as a plain clothes Detective Constable based at Sussex Police HQ in Lewes. Lewes is also the base for Sussex Special Branch. In May 2008 a free torrent download of the film was released on the internet by the filmmakers. In April 2009 the film was nominated for an Index on Censorship Freedom of Expression film award.
