AnchorFree is the developer of Hotspot Shield, a virtual private network provider. In 2019, Fast Company named AnchorFree the 13th most innovative company in the world and the #1 most innovative security company.

Gorodyansky has also invested in GlobeIn, an online exotic arts and crafts marketplace, and Venturocket, an job matching website. He is chairman of AnchorFree and GlobeIn.

Gorodyansky is a writer who has contributed to *Forbes* and *Inc. Magazine*. He is also a proponent of social entrepreneurship.

## Early life

Gorodyansky was born in Moscow, Russia and moved to Palo Alto, California with his parents and sister when he was 9 years old. His parents were computer engineers. His grandfather was a member of the Red Army during World War II, during which he conducted aerial reconnaissance and helped to liberate German concentration camps.

While attending a local Palo Alto school, Gorodyansky met Eugene Malobrodsky. Malobrodsky had a similar background and the two became close friends. The two would later found multiple companies together.

## Career

In 2002, while still in college, Gorodyansky founded Intelligent Buying with Malobrodsky. Intelligent Buying was a company that resold high-end computer equipment. They exited the company in 2005 in order to "invest in something that would have a real impact in the world."

Gorodyansky and his friend launched AnchorFree in 2005. AnchorFree is the creator of Hotspot Shield, a virtual private network provider that is commonly used for Wi-Fi security, Internet privacy and circumventing censorship.

In 2011, AnchorFree's Hotspot Shield was used extensively by protesters during the Arab Spring when Middle Eastern governments began blocking access to video sharing and social media websites. It was used by more than one million users during the Egyptian Revolution of 2011. In 2012, Gorodyansky received an award from the Academy of Achievement and met with justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.

Gorodyansky was selected as one of *Inc Magazine's* 30 CEOs under 30 years old in 2011. He was selected as one of America's Most Promising CEOs Under 35 in 2013 by *Forbes* magazine. Gorodyansky was a member of the city of San Francisco's Technology Expert Council, where he was a technology advisor to former San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom.

In 2014, Gorodyansky received an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the Northern California region. He was named one of the 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs by Goldman Sachs.

## Investments

Gorodyansky is an investor in GlobeIn, an online exotic arts and crafts marketplace, and job matching site Venturerocket. He has also invested in Modern Meadow, a company that aims to grow leather and meat from primary cells. In 2013, Gorodyansky served as investor and executive producer of #chicagoGirl, a documentary that follows a Syria-born college student that coordinated a social media campaign to help protesters during the Syrian Civil War.

## Influence and Internet Philosophy

Businessman Bert Roberts and social entrepreneur Muhammad Yunus have been the two main influences on Gorodyansky's business philosophy. Bert Roberts, a former chief executive officer for MCI Communications, is credited for helping to develop AnchorFree's freemium revenue model and shaping Gorodyansky's views on Internet security and privacy issues. Muhammad Yunus' work on microcredit initiatives and social entrepreneurship have inspired Gorodyansky to focus on global initiatives that have a social impact. A frequent commentator on the interface of social unrest and technology, Gorodyansky noted a tenfold increase in the use of AnchorFree's HotSpot Shield in the 2014 Hong Kong protests.

text:
# Legions of Thyatis

***Legions of Thyatis*** is an adventure module published in 1990 for the *Dungeons & Dragons* fantasy role-playing game.

## Plot summary

*Legions of Thyatis* is a sequel to *Arena of Thyatis*, and contains an adventure scenario in which the player characters explore catacombs to prevent a corrupt senator from removing the magic that protects Thyatis City from the monsters beneath the city.

## Publication history

DDA2 *Legions of Thyatis* was published by TSR, Inc. in 1990 as a 32-page booklet with an outer folder.
It was written by John Nephew, with a cover by Brom and editing by Jon Pickens.

## Reception

Ken Rolston reviewed *Legions of Thyatis* for *Dragon* magazine #171 (July 1991). He reviewed *Arena of Thyatis* and *Legions of Thyatis* together, and called them "two ambitious and original approaches to low-level *D&D* adventures", noting gladiators as the theme, and calling the setting "a *D&D*-game version of ancient Rome". He praised the "open-ended, improvisational role-playing", noting that "the DM is out there all alone with a package of loosely linked episodes, lots of strong NPCs, and myriad plot threads blowing in the wind" without any "hackneyed, predictable plot elements". He did, however, feel that this adventure might not be suitable for most first *D&D* campaigns, with a first-time DM simultaneously trying to master the mechanics and rhythm of refereeing an FRPG and the subtle dramatic and manipulative techniques of open-ended scenario presentation. He recalled that the module *Treasure Hunt*, "a much more linear and predictable scenario than these two adventures" has a two-page appendix entitled "If Things Go Wrong", and felt that sort of commentary and advice would be even more critical in open-ended settings like *Arena of Thyatis* and *Legions of Thyatis*. He felt that "the ancient Roman city" of Thyatis "doesn't mix comfortably with heroic, *D&D*-game, action-adventure role-playing", and noted that the impact of spell-casters doesn't seem to have been considered. Rolston concluded the review by stating: "My first response was impatient and unforgiving; only my persistence in trying to appreciate Nephew's good intentions gave me a reserved affection for the most appealing features of these modules. Give them a split grade: four stars for originality, charm, role-playing potential, and right-mindedness, and two stars for quality of DM staging, plot support, and suitability for *D&D*-game-style play. I do not recommend them for beginning DMs, but as an earnest and moderately successful approach to designing a module for open-ended, improvisational role-playing for the *D&D* game, they may inspire you to experiment with this difficult but rewarding style of FRPG adventure."

**Lehigh** is a city in Marion County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 161. It is located between Hillsboro and Canton on the north side of U.S. Route 56.

## History

### Early history

For many millennia, the Great Plains of North America was inhabited by nomadic Native Americans. From the 16th century to 18th century, the Kingdom of France claimed ownership of large parts of North America. In 1762, after the French and Indian War, France secretly ceded New France to Spain, per the Treaty of Fontainebleau.

### 19th century

In 1802, Spain returned most of the land to France. In 1803, most of the land for modern day Kansas was acquired by the United States from France as part of the 828,000 square mile Louisiana Purchase for 2.83 cents per acre.

In 1854, the Kansas Territory was organized, then in 1861 Kansas became the 34th U.S. state. In 1855, Marion County was established within the Kansas Territory, which included the land for modern day Lehigh.

The source of the Lehigh name was not well documented. One of the rumors is the city being slightly higher altitude which was "lay high" above the prairie, the other rumor that it was named by representatives of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania who came to Kansas and considered settling the area in the 1870s or 1880s.

Four and one half miles north of Lehigh is the junction of the old Santa Fe Trail and Chisolm Trail, which is near the site of the municipal water well for the city. The Santa Fe Trail was active across Marion County from 1821 to 1866, and the Chisholm Trail was active from 1867 to 1871.

As early as 1875, city leaders of Marion held a meeting to consider a branch railroad from Florence. In 1878, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and parties from Marion County and McPherson County chartered the Marion and McPherson Railway Company. In 1879, a branch line was built from Florence to McPherson, in 1880 it was extended to Lyons, in 1881 it was extended to Ellinwood. The line was leased and operated by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The line from Florence to Marion, was abandoned in 1968. In 1992, the line from Marion to McPherson was sold to Central Kansas Railway. In 1993, after heavy flood damage, the line from Marion through Lehigh to McPherson was abandoned and removed. The original branch line connected Florence, Marion, Canada, Hillsboro, Lehigh, Canton, Galva, McPherson, Conway, Windom, Little River, Mitchell, Lyons, Chase, Ellinwood. The former 1879 Lehigh rail depot was moved to Walton, Kansas and sits next to Highway 50.

A post office was established at Lehigh on April 23, 1880.

Lehigh was platted in 1881.

### 20th century

Lehigh was incorporated in 1901 and at the time of the 1910 census had a population of 385. At one time it boasted a bank, several mercantile businesses, and a German weekly Mennonite newspaper, *Das Echo*, started in 1897.

The National Old Trails Road, also known as the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway, was established in 1912, and was routed through Lehigh, Hillsboro, Marion, Lost Springs.

## Geography

Lehigh is in the scenic Flint Hills and Great Plains of the state of Kansas. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 0.30 square miles (0.78 km2), all of it land. The county line is 3.5 miles west of Lehigh. The North and South Cottonwood River start a few miles northwest of Lehigh.

# Leighton Eksteen

**Leighton Eksteen** (born 15 September 1994 in Riversdale, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player for VVA Podmoskovje in the Professional Rugby League in Russia. He is a utility back that can play as a fullback, fly-half or scrum-half.

## Playing career

### Youth rugby and SWD Eagles

In 2012, Eksteen was selected to represent the George-based SWD Eagles at the premier South African rugby union competition for high schools, the Under-18 Craven Week, held in Port Elizabeth, scoring a try in their 33–39 defeat to Western Province.

He joined the SWD Academy after leaving school and made four appearances for the SWD U19s in the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship. He made just four appearances for them in the competition – three starts and one appearance off the bench – but was their top scorer in the competition with 76 points. That placed him as the third-highest points scorer in Group B of the competition. He scored six tries in his four appearances, which included a hat-trick in their match against the Pumas U19s, which saw him score 30 of his side's points in a 55–12 victory. The SWD U19 side qualified for the semi-finals of the competition, but Eksteen didn't feature in their 24–29 defeat to the Falcons U19 in their semi-final match.

He was included in the SWD U21 squad that participated in the 2014 Under-21 Provincial Championship. However, he just in just two matches against Limpopo Blue Bulls U21 and Griffons U21 – scoring 21 points through one try and eight conversions in the latter match – before being joining the SWD Eagles' senior squad for the 2014 Currie Cup First Division. He made his first class debut as the SWD Eagles' starting fly-half in a 19–24 defeat to the Falcons in Kempton Park. After also starting their 31–22 victory over the Border Bulldogs in George, he scored his first senior points in their next match, scoring a try shortly before half-time in a 24–35 defeat at home to the Boland Cavaliers. He appeared as a replacement in their 42–27 victory over the Griffons in Welkom in their final match of the regular season, as well as in their 43–45 defeat to the same opposition in the semi-finals a week later. With the senior side's season over, he rejoined the Under-21 side that reached the final of Group B of the Under-21 Provincial Championship, starting the match and scoring his side's only points as the Eastern Province U21s won the match 46–3.

Despite still being eligible to represent SWD at Under-21 level in 2015, he exclusively played for the senior side. He played off the bench in all eight of their 2015 Vodacom Cup matches. Eksteen scored one try in their defeat to Western Province as his side finished in fourth position on the Southern Section log to qualify for the quarter finals, where they lost to the Golden Lions. He appeared in all six of their matches during the 2015 Currie Cup qualification series – showing his versatility as he twice started as a scrum-half, twice started as a fullback and twice played off the bench – and again contributed a single try during the competition, in a 19–13 victory over the Border Bulldogs. However, that was his side's only victory in the competition as they finished bottom of the log and qualifying to play in the 2015 Currie Cup First Division competition. Eksteen was handed the kicking duties during this competition and it coincided with a big turnaround in fortunes, as the SWD Eagles won four out of their five matches, to finish in third spot on the log to qualify for the semi-finals. Eksteen contributed 102 points in these five matches to not only be the SWD Eagles' top scorer in the competition, but also the overall top scorer, ahead of champions Leopards' Adriaan Engelbrecht. His best points haul during the competition came in a 47–40 victory over the Griffons in the semi-final, as he scored one try, two conversions and six penalties to contribute 27 points and help the SWD Eagles reach their first final since 2010. He kicked ten points in the final, but it was not enough, as the Leopards ran out 44–20 winners.

### Southern Kings

At the start of 2016, Eksteen was one of two SWD Eagles players that joined the Southern Kings' Super Rugby squad for a trial period as they prepared for the 2016 Super Rugby season.

### VVA Podmoskovye

In 2019, Eksteen joined the Russian team VVA Podmoskovye (ex. VVA Saracens). In the Russian Rugby Cup 2021, he became the top scorer of the tournament, gaining 36 points.

title: Open Market Option

abstract: The Open Market Option was introduced as part of the 1975 United Kingdom Finance Act and allows someone approaching retirement to ‘shop around’ for a number of options to convert their pension pot into an annuity, rather than simply taking the default rate offered by their pension provider. The term OMO is now generally used to support a campaign, often led by the pensions industry and the media, to make sure people know the benefits of shopping around. The majority of people still don’t use the Open Market Option in large part because they don’t know they can or don’t realise the benefits of doing so. Retirees who don’t use the OMO and settle for the default deal offered by their pension provider, may be missing out on up to 20% more income from an annuity. This is especially important as retirees cannot change their annuity once it has been purchased. One of the main reasons that people can get more from an annuity if they shop around is that they may qualify for what is known as an Enhanced Annuity which pays a higher income to people who suffer from a range of health conditions – anything from asthma to a serious heart condition. There are also other products available that may suit people’s retirement needs better than the default deal offered by a pension provider. One suggestion to make the most of the Open Market Option is to speak to an independent financial adviser who will explain the different options available at retirement. The Association of British Insurers has been working with the retirement industry to improve consumers' knowledge of the Open Market Option. This includes pensions providers making it much clearer to their customers that they can use the OMO and that they may get a better income by doing so. However, take up of the Open Market Option is still low and there are now calls from many to make it harder for a pension scheme to transfer into an annuity by default, thereby forcing people to consider their options.

The **Open Market Option** (or OMO) was introduced as part of the 1975 United Kingdom Finance Act and allows someone approaching retirement to ‘shop around’ for a number of options to convert their pension pot into an annuity, rather than simply taking the default rate offered by their pension provider.

This is especially important as retirees cannot change their annuity once it has been purchased.

One of the main reasons that people can get more from an annuity if they shop around is that they may qualify for what is known as an Enhanced Annuity (sometimes known as an Impaired Life Annuity) which pays a higher income to people who suffer from a range of health conditions – anything from asthma to a serious heart condition. There are also other products available that may suit people’s retirement needs better than the default deal offered by a pension provider. One suggestion to make the most of the Open Market Option is to speak to an independent financial adviser who will explain the different options available at retirement.

# Pine Hills Lightning

The **Pine Hills Lightning Baseball Club** is a baseball club that participates in the Greater Brisbane League competition and Brisbane Metropolitan Region competition. It is the 4th largest baseball club in Australia and second largest after the Redcliffe Padres in Queensland.

## History

In 1984 the club was formed, originally known as the Mitchelton Unicorns. The club shared playing fields at Mitchelton, Queensland with Wests Mitchelton Rugby League Club for a handful of Tee-ball teams. Whilst the fields were only ever used in the rugby league offseason, relations were often uneasy between the two parties. This coupled with a vision of baseball participation expanding rapidly started the search for bigger fields. The club moved and commenced using the new Bunya fields in 1990. Renamed the Pine Hills Unicorns, a division of the Pine Hills Sports Club, playing numbers continued to grow.

In their tenth year a name change to Pine Hills Lightning was passed. Over the years several dedicated families have worked hard to establish and further develop the club. Over time, player numbers grew to the point where teams could be added in more junior grades of the Brisbane competition, however the club was resigned to losing its best players as the club had no teams in Brisbane's elite Majors competition, and players would leave to play Majors elsewhere.

In 2004 a decision was made to merge with the All Stars Baseball Club, allowing Pine Hills juniors the chance to play Majors without leaving the club. All Stars at the time had the reverse issue, with strong senior numbers but flagging junior numbers making the merger mutually beneficial. This merger became known as the All Stars Lightning Baseball Club and fielded its first team at the start of the 2004/05 season. The merger was short-lived due to uneasy relations between the two parties and logistical difficulties of playing out of two centres; and was split after only two seasons.

Pine Hills decided they were in a position to field their own teams as of the 2006/07 season and chose to become a standalone club; as did All Stars who resumed their old branding. The first Pine Hills Major A team took the field in September 2006. That same month the Aspley Leagues Club opened a new entertainment complex at the Bunya reserve.

The standalone club's Major A side made its first finals series in 2007/08, in just its second year of existence. Since becoming a Major A club it has made the finals 5 times (2007/08, 2008/09, 2010/11, 2011/12 and 2012/13) and missed out on 3 occasions (2006/07, 2009/10 and 2013/14). It won its first Major A premiership in 2010/11, with a grand final clean sweep over Windsor.

Each year the club plays against Windsor Royals during a designated regular season game for the Paul Mutch Cup. Paul had played juniors at Pine Hills and seniors at Windsor and was a dedicated player for both clubs. Each year the contest in his memory is passionate; and as of Pine Hills' victory in the 2013/14 season the tally stands at 5-5. The game's MVP is awarded the John Macan Medal; the late John being former president of Windsor Royals and a greatly respected figure among both clubs. A significant number of players have played for both clubs and a rivalry has always existed between the two. In recent years however this has taken on renewed vigour, with the clubs meeting in each of the last 3 finals series.

## Facilities

The club has 4 playing fields with all dugouts and scorers huts have shade. Diamonds 1 and 2 have lights suitable for training. Diamond one has recently been upgraded with a top quality surface and AAA floodlighting. The club also utilises a fully automated Iron Mike pitching machine as well as an electronic scoreboard.

# Nebulae (video game)

***Nebulae*** is a sci-fi massively multiplayer online (MMO) strategy game developed and published by Northern Lights Entertainment (NLE), a French-based company. Mobile alpha was released in 2023. The game combines massively multiplayer politics and combat in space.

## Gameplay

In Nebulae, players immerse themselves in a fictional galaxy inhabited by numerous intelligent species. Advanced interstellar nations compete for ideological influence and territorial control, all while facing the looming threat of a deadly Nebula expansion. The game blends elements of MMO, strategy, and 4X gameplay genres, offering real-time massively multiplayer online politics and combat.

## Development

Nebulae was developed by Northern Lights Entertainment SAS (NLE), a France-based game development studio. The game's development began with the goal of creating a unique and engaging experience for players interested in space exploration and political strategy.

The game will be available on a cross-platform basis. Mobile alpha was released in 2023, the PC version is about to follow.

## Crowdfunding

Nebulae achieved a milestone in its journey to launch with the conclusion of its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter on November 30, 2019. The campaign garnered support from 510 backers, who collectively pledged €42,595.

## Sustainability

In Nebulae, sustainability is one of the core aspects, shaping players' political decisions across different themes. The environment plays a pivotal role, with players tasked to balance sustainable development and industrialization on planets to mitigate environmental risks and ensure resource longevity. The global environmental threat posed by the Nebula mirrors real-life challenges, impacting players asymmetrically and leading to a potential collective game-over event if poorly managed. Nebulae serves as an experimental platform to observe player cooperation in addressing environmental threats within a virtual world, providing insights into the dynamics of collective decision-making.

# Maggie Murphy hoax

The **Maggie Murphy hoax** was a hoax perpetrated in 1895 by W. L. Thorndyke. He created an image that depicted farmer Joseph B. Swan holding what appeared to be a giant potato. The photo rapidly spread around the United States, and appeared in a panel of *Ripley's Believe It or Not!*.

## Background

The hoax began in Loveland, Colorado. W. L. Thorndyke, editor-in-chief for a local newspaper, had wanted to promote an upcoming street fair. Thorndyke turned to farmer Joseph B. Swan, and wanted to help bring customers to him. Swan had been known for growing more than 70 different types of potatoes and had previously been featured in several news reports for his success with his crop.

With the help of local photographer Adam Talbot, they produced a photograph which appeared in an 1895 issue of the *Loveland Reporter*. It was implied the potato weighed 86 pounds 10 ounces, and measured 2 feet 5 inches. Swan swore that he grew it himself. The image quickly spread around the United States. Over one thousand citizens sent letters to Thorndyke, requesting pieces of Maggie Murphy so they could grow their own oversized potato. Requests for seeds were also common. Thorndyke, realizing that the photograph was beginning to get out of control, admitted that it was a hoax. He wrote that he had asked Swan to carve a fake potato out of wood.

## Cultural impact

The photograph appeared in numerous publications, including *Scientific American* and *Ripley's Believe It or Not!*. It has been reprinted in the book *The World of Ripley's Believe It Or Not!*, however, no mention is made of the photograph being a hoax. When *Ripley's Believe It or Not!* was adapted into a television series, the photograph was used in the opening segment. In 2012, Colorado playwright Rick Padden adapted the tale of the hoax into a two-act play, entitled *The Great Loveland Potato Hoax*.

# USS Buchanan (DD-131)

**USS *Buchanan* (DD-131)**, named for Franklin Buchanan, was a *Wickes*-class destroyer in the United States Navy.

*Buchanan* was transferred to the United Kingdom under the Destroyers for Bases Agreement in 1940 and served as **HMS *Campbeltown* (I42)**. She was destroyed during the St. Nazaire Raid: at 1:34 on 28 March 1942, loaded with four tons of amatol explosive, the ship rammed the gates of the *Forme Ecluse Louis Joubert* dry dock. The ship exploded the following morning, ending the use of the dock for the rest of the war.

## Service with the United States Navy

The first USS *Buchanan* (DD-131) was launched on 2 January 1919 by Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine; sponsored by Mrs. Charles P. Wetherbee. The ship was commissioned on 20 January 1919. *Buchanan* reported to Commander, Destroyer Force, at Guantanamo, Cuba, and was temporarily attached to Destroyer Squadron 2 until ordered to the Pacific Fleet in July 1919 for duty with Destroyer Flotilla 4. From 7 June 1922 until 10 April 1930 *Buchanan* was out of commission at San Diego. She then joined Destroyer Division 10, Destroyer Squadrons, Battle Force, and operated on the West Coast in routine division, force, and fleet activities and problems. It was for this short period that she was commanded by Theodore E. Chandler, who would later become an admiral during World War II and be killed in action in the South Pacific in January 1945. In mid-1934, after making a cruise to Alaska with ROTC units aboard, she was placed in reduced commission attached to Rotating Reserve Destroyer Squadron 20 at San Diego.

Again placed in full commission in December 1934, she resumed operations with Division 5, Destroyers, Battle Force. *Buchanan* was again out of commission at San Diego from 9 April 1937 until 30 September 1939 at which time she was refitted for action with Division 65, Destroyer Squadron 32, Atlantic Squadron. From December 1939 until 22 February 1940, she operated with the Neutrality Patrol and Antilles Detachment. She was then assigned to patrol in the Gulf of Mexico, operating out of Galveston, Texas and later off Key West and around the Florida Straits. She arrived at Boston Navy Yard on 2 September and then proceeded to Halifax, where on 9 September 1940 she was decommissioned and transferred to the United Kingdom under the Destroyers for Bases Agreement.

## Service with the Royal Navy - HMS *Campbeltown* (I42)

Upon her arrival at HMNB Devonport, England, on 29 September 1940, HMS *Campbeltown* was allocated to the 7th Escort Group, Liverpool, in the Western Approaches Command. In January 1941 she was provisionally allocated to the Royal Netherlands Navy, but reverted to the Royal Navy in September 1941. Between September 1941 and March 1942 she served with Atlantic convoys and was attacked on several occasions by enemy U-boats and aircraft, but escaped without damage. On 15 September 1941 she picked up the survivors of the Norwegian motor tanker *Vinga*, damaged by an enemy air attack.

### Saint-Nazaire Raid

In 1942, the German battleship *Tirpitz* anchored at Trondheim in Norway was considered to present a grave threat to Atlantic convoys. However, should the ship enter the Atlantic then the dry dock originally built for the ocean liner SS *Normandie* in the German-occupied port of Saint-Nazaire, France, was the only one in German hands on the Atlantic seaboard large enough to hold her. It was considered that if this dock could be put out of action, then a sortie by *Tirpitz* into the Atlantic would be much more dangerous for her, and probably not worth the risk. The obsolete *Campbeltown* was selected for the task, and cosmetic modifications quickly done to make her look similar to a German *Möwe*-class torpedo boat.

Using genuine German recognition signals, the force approached to within less than a mile of the harbour before they were fired upon, *Campbeltown* as the largest target drawing most of the fire. At 01:34 on 28 March 1942, *Campbeltown* rammed the dock gate four minutes later than planned. Troops and crew came ashore under heavy German fire and set about demolishing the dock machinery. 169 of the raiders were killed (64 commandos and 105 sailors) out of the 611 men in the attacking force. Of the survivors, 215 were captured and 222 were evacuated by the surviving small craft. A further five evaded capture and travelled overland through France to Spain and then to Gibraltar.

The charges in *Campbeltown* exploded the next day, 28 March, an hour and a half after the latest time that the British had expected them to detonate. Although the ship had been searched by the Germans, the explosives had not been detected. The explosion killed around 250 German soldiers and French civilians and demolished both the front half of the ship and the 160-ton caisson, the inrush of water into the dock washing the remains of the ship into it. The dock was rendered unusable for the rest of the war, and was not repaired until 1948.

## Ship's bell

The bell was given to Campbelltown, Pennsylvania as a gesture of appreciation towards the United States for the Lend-Lease programme. It was lent by the town to the current HMS *Campbeltown*, a Type 22 frigate, when it was commissioned in 1989, and remained on the ship whilst it was in service with the Royal Navy. The bell was returned to the town on 21 June 2011 when HMS *Campbeltown* was decommissioned.

## Films

The 1952 film *Gift Horse* and the 1968 film *Attack on the Iron Coast* were both loosely based on the story of HMS *Campbeltown*.

# USS Brutus

**USS *Brutus***, formerly the steamer *Peter Jebsen*, was a collier in the United States Navy. She was built in 1894 at South Shields-on-Tyne, England, by John Readhead & Sons and was acquired by the U.S. Navy early in 1898 from L. F. Chapman & Company. She was renamed *Brutus* and commissioned at the Mare Island Navy Yard on 27 May 1898.

## Spanish–American War to 1901

With the Spanish–American War underway, in June 1898 *Brutus* departed San Diego, California, towing *Monterey* bound for Manila Bay in the Philippines to reinforce Admiral George Dewey's Asiatic Fleet. Following a voyage of over 3,700 miles during which they made several stops, the two ships entered Manila Bay on 4 August 1898. She remained at Manila until 20 December, at which time she headed back to the United States. After repeating stops at Guam and Hawaii, *Brutus* arrived in San Francisco, California, on 7 March 1899.

*Brutus* stayed in the San Francisco area until 10 April when she got underway for the South Pacific. *Brutus* arrived in Samoa on 29 April and operated among the islands until early July. On the 5th, she set a course for Hawaii. After a 10-day stopover at Honolulu between 16 and 26 July, the collier put to sea bound for the Marianas. She entered Apra Harbor on 13 August and remained there as station ship through the end of the year. During her sojourn at Guam, *Brutus* was out of commission between 20 October and 24 December. On 6 January 1900, the ship got underway for Japan, via Manila in the Philippines. She arrived at Nagasaki, on 17 January and underwent repairs. On 1 February, she shaped a course back to Guam, arriving in Apra Harbor on the 9th. She resumed duties as station ship at Guam and, on 16 February, was placed out of commission there. The collier underwent a drydock period while at Guam and went back into commission in the fall of 1900.

On 23 September, *Brutus* departed Apra Harbor. She stopped at Yokohama, Japan, for the first 26 days of October and then headed for Manila. She arrived at her destination on 4 November and began loading coal. The ship completed taking on her cargo and departed the Philippines on the 27th. She reentered Apra Harbor on 6 December. She operated in the Marianas through the first quarter of 1901. On 28 March 1901, *Brutus* departed Guam bound for the Philippines. She arrived at Cavite on 4 April and began a month of repairs. On 4 May, she put to sea bound for the east coast of the United States. Steaming via Singapore, Ceylon, and Aden, she arrived at Suez, Egypt, on 25 June. The collier transited the Suez Canal on 27 and 28 June. Then, after crossing the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, *Brutus* arrived at New York City on 6 August. She was placed out of commission at New York on 29 August 1901.

## Recommissioning

She remained inactive at New York until recommissioned on 8 March 1902. On the 25th, she departed New York bound for Baltimore, Maryland, where she arrived two days later. At Baltimore, *Brutus* loaded cargo, stores, and coal for her own bunkers. On 16 April, the collier put to sea on the long voyage around Cape Horn to Samoa, in the South Pacific. She made stops at San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Montevideo, Uruguay, and arrived in Tutuila on 11 July. She remained there exactly one month, heading back the way she came on 11 August. After repeating her stops at Montevideo and San Juan, she entered Hampton Roads, Virginia, on 27 October. Except for one round-trip voyage to Culebra Island near Puerto Rico between 5 and 19 December, *Brutus* operated in the Chesapeake Bay area until late January 1903. Between 24 January and 18 April 1903, she cruised in the West Indies and along the coast of Central America returning to Hampton Roads on 18 April.

In the middle of 1903, *Brutus* was assigned to the Asiatic Fleet. Worked by a merchant crew made up of Chinese nationals, she carried coal to various units of the Navy's squadron in the Orient. Late in 1905, she returned to the east coast of the United States to help perform a monumental task. On 28 December 1905, she steamed out of Chesapeake Bay in company with USS *Glacier* and USS *Caesar* towing the USS *Dewey* drydock to Manila. Steaming across the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, they transited the Suez Canal between 27 April and 1 May 1906. They resumed the voyage early in May and arrived at Olongapo, Luzon, on 10 July. Thereupon, *Brutus* resumed her former duties as collier to the Asiatic Fleet.

In 1907, the collier returned to the United States and began operations out of Norfolk, Virginia, in support of the Atlantic Fleet. Except for two periods in reserve at the Norfolk Navy Yard, 13 May 1908 to 2 January 1909 and 20 May to 2 July 1912, and a resupply voyage to the Mediterranean Sea in 1915, that employment occupied her time until the spring of 1916. In April 1916, *Brutus* transferred to the Pacific Fleet and operated from the Mare Island Navy Yard. When the United States entered World War I on 6 April 1917, her merchant crew was taken into the service as members of the United States Naval Reserve Forces. Soon thereafter on 24 April, she ran aground on Cerros Island in a heavy fog. She was refloated 10 days later and was towed to San Diego for temporary repairs. From there, she headed back to the Mare Island Navy Yard where she completed permanent repairs.

She spent the remainder of the war cruising the California and Mexican coast. When the worldwide influenza epidemic struck late in 1918, *Brutus* loaded supplies and stores and headed for Alaska as part of a Red Cross relief expedition. She returned south from that mission in January 1919. After the war, she was assigned to the Pacific Fleet Train. Early in 1920, the collier voyaged from the west coast to Tutuila, Samoa, carrying coal and supplies to the naval station located there. Later that spring she returned via Hawaii to the west coast and resumed her duties with the Pacific Fleet Train. She remained so employed until decommissioned on 17 August 1921. Her name was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 29 July 1922, and she was sold to the A. Bercovich Company in Oakland, California.

# U.S. Pro Stock/Super Late Model Championship

The **U.S. Pro Stock/Super Late Model Championship** was a 200 lap super late model race held annually at Seekonk Speedway. The event was aimed at creating a race similar to the Snowball Derby in New England.

The race was scheduled to run the Wednesday before the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series runs their July race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, in hopes of gaining the attention of Cup teams and encouraging them to enter the race.

## Race setup

The rules for the 200 lap race were very lenient, allowing competitors from across the country come to the track in hopes of winning a $10,000 pay check. All cars were required to run the same American Racer racing slicks used by Seekonk's weekly pro stock competitors. The race itself was a non-points race for the Whelen All-American Series. Racing action was separated into two 100 lap race segments. The time between the two 100 lap races is used to host other racing (In the case of 2016, pro-4 modifieds and legends. Qualifying was split into heat races, where 20 drivers (including guaranteed-starters) will qualify. A final six positions were filled in by consolation races. Between the two 100 lap races, the winner of the first 100 laps draws a number to determine an inversion for the second 100 lap feature.

Several New England race tracks host their own super late model races, some of which were used as guaranteed-starter races. Which races were and weren't used as guaranteed-starter races were determined before the racing season started. The whole event was sponsored by Kraze Korlacki Speed Equipment, who offered payouts and promoted the race. It was up to their discretion how many cars are eligible for the race, but 26 was the number used to explain race procedure. There was a $47,160 total prize; $42,160 coming from Kraze Korlacki Speed Equipment, and $5,000 coming from lap sponsorship. Anyone was eligible to sponsor a lap for $25.
