# Faria Alam

**Faria Alam** (born 13 February 1966) is a former Football Association secretary.

## Early life

Alam was born in Dhaka, but raised in the United Kingdom. Her family emigrated to the UK, living in Manchester, Bradford, Newcastle upon Tyne, and London.

When Alam was 19 years old, her mother took her to Bangladesh and arranged a marriage to a doctor. Alam divorced and returned to England.

## Football Association

After modelling and working as an administrator, in July 2003, Alam took a job as personal assistant to executive director David Davies at The Football Association, based at the organisation's headquarters in Soho Square, London.

Alam began a brief relationship with chief executive Mark Palios. When the relationship with Palios ended, she had an affair with then England football team manager Sven-Goran Eriksson. At the time Eriksson was in a relationship with Nancy Dell'Olio, though shortly before he had had an affair with TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson. As Eriksson and Dell'Olio were often photographed, interviewed, and reported on in the media, when Alam's affairs came to the attention of the public in August 2004, a media scrum ensued and she resigned her post.

On leaving her job with the FA, Alam hired publicity agent Max Clifford. After negotiations, Clifford and Alam posed for photographs outside Clifford's New Bond Street offices surrounded by a scrum of photographers. Clifford brokered a number of deals for Alam, who was reportedly paid £400,000 for publication of kiss-and-tell stories about Palios and Eriksson in *The Mail on Sunday* and *The News of the World*. Alam was paid a further £150,000 for a television interview.

In October 2004, Alam made claims against the Football Association of sexual harassment, unfair dismissal, and breach of contract. In September 2005, her claims were rejected by an industrial tribunal.

In 2013, Alam testified in the News International phone hacking scandal; her phone had been hacked by Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator working on behalf of the *News of the World*, in June 2004.

## Celebrity Big Brother 2006

In January 2006, Alam appeared on *Celebrity Big Brother*. On 17 January 2006, while up for the public vote, she commented that the public would "never let a black or Asian win" the show on the basis that the British establishment and/or media would not permit it. On 18 January 2006, she became the second housemate to be evicted.

## Film work

In 2006, Alam played a hitwoman in the film *Cash and Curry*. In an interview she said of the role: *"It was a role that presented itself to me and I took it on as one of life’s experiences"*.

# FSO Polonez 2000 Rally

**FSO Polonez 2000 Rally** is a Polish rally car produced by the FSO and OBRSO in Warsaw during Communist rule in Poland. It was first created in 1978 following the release of its production counterpart: the FSO Polonez. It competed in Group IV, Group II, Group B, and other events.

## FSO Polonez 2000 Group IV

The racing history of the Polonez begins in 1978. It first competed at multiple sports events as a demonstration car until it was granted homologation into Group IV rallying on January 1, 1979.

The body of the car was slimmed down and inside was a roll cage barely meeting the minimum approval. The car did not have side skirts, the body panels were made of metal, and the hood was stripped of its reinforcements.. Corrosion protection covers were used instead of extensions and the car had Cromodora wheels and mirrors . A Cibie battery pack was attached to the front. The car had bayflex bumpers with holes cut out to reduce the weight of the vehicle. It was fitted with additional rallying equipment to meet the regulations. The vehicle had a fuel tank with a capacity of 72 liters. The car was driven on a modified 2.0 DOHC engine that had four Weber carburetors, one for each cylinder or mechanical injection. It achieved 170/185 hp. The car used a metal clutch, a Colotti claw gearbox in five gear ratios, and limited slip rear axle. The rear axle was strengthened with a Panhard rod. The suspension sat on uniballs and Bilstein shock absorbers. The car used a brake system from a Porsche 911 RS with 254mm ventilated discs.

## Walter Wolf Racing

After receiving approval for Group IV, the car was officially sponsored by Walter Wolf Racing and competed in a deep blue livery with a red stripe on the side of the body. One of the Polonez Walter Wolf Racing cars was exported to Canada.

## FSO Polonez 2000 Group II

On April 1, 1980, Polonez received approval for Group II. The deep blue and red livery of Walter Wolf Racing disappeared in favor of the national colors. So, the car was styled with a white body and red stripe on the side. The Cromodora rims changed to ATS forged magnesium rims. The vehicle only used carburetor engines and received laminated flaps, fenders and door trim. The car had fiberglass extensions, a VDO dashboard and Vitaloni mirrors. Cibie headlights mounted in the usual configuration or in line with the bumper. With this car, the crew of Maciej Stawowiak and Ryszard Żyszkowski scored in the general classification of the WRC during the rally Portugal in 1980.

## FSO Polonez 2000 Group B

On April 1, 1984, Polonez received approval for Group B . The car used carburetors, mechanical injection and electronic injection. Polycarbonate side windows were used, small steel bumpers from the standard Polonez C. Front spoilers with air stream blades were mounted, which directed the air to the cut out inlets under the bumper to cool the brakes. The chrome accessories and rubber dart from the front bonnet were removed from the Polonez. This Polonez had about 210 horsepower. Yellow varnish with dark blue quadrangles and stripes was used, i.e. FSO Sport painting. In the early 90s, FSO Sport and OBRSO withdrew from rallying. All copies were reportedly dismantled and sold for parts. Today you can only find replicas of rally Polonez's.

# FSO Syrena in Kutno

**Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych "Syrena" w Kutnie** (transl.Passenger Car Factory "Syrena" in Kutno) is a Polish car manufacturer that described itself as a successor of FSO and FSM. Plans included the development and manufacture of limited production, retro-style vehicles, referencing well known Polish cars such as the FSO Syrena, FSO Polonez, ZSD Nysa, Mikrus MR-300 and FSO Warszawa.

In 2017, the company received over PLN 4.6 million from the National Center for Research and Development under their INNOMOTO program. The company developed the Vosco S106 petrol-powered hatchback, obtaining approval for it in 2018 (the previous Polish car that received approval was the FSO Polonez). The next step for the company is to be the development of an electric vehicle based purely on research and development from within the company.

## Vehicles

## Electric car

The Vosco S106EV model, which is currently undergoing road tests, and whose appearance refers to the Syrena that was once produced, is equipped with an engine with a nominal power of 115 kW (approx. 156 HP) with the option of a sport mode (175 kW, 240 HP). The engine will be powered by batteries with a capacity of 31.5 kWh, which, when driving in mixed mode, will allow the vehicle to travel over 200 km on a single charge (in the future, the range will be increased to up to 250 km). The vehicle is equipped with a Combo2 connector that enables charging with direct current, which, with a standard charger with a power of approximately 30 kW, will allow the battery to be replenished within an hour. The cars are also to be equipped with an on-board charger with a power of 3.3 kW, which will charge the car from a home socket in approximately 10–11 hours. The start of mass production was planned for 2021.

title: Fasciculin

abstract: Fasciculins are a class of toxic proteins found in certain snake venoms, notably some species of mamba. Investigations have revealed distinct forms in some green mamba venoms, in particular FAS1 and FAS2 Fasciculins are so called because they cause intense fasciculation in muscle fascicles of susceptible organisms, such as the preferred prey of the snakes. This effect helps to incapacitate the muscles, either killing the prey, or paralysing it so that the snake can swallow it.

# Fasciculin

**Fasciculins** are a class of toxic proteins found in certain snake venoms, notably some species of mamba. Investigations have revealed distinct forms in some green mamba venoms, in particular FAS1 and FAS2 Fasciculins are so called because they cause intense fasciculation in muscle fascicles of susceptible organisms, such as the preferred prey of the snakes. This effect helps to incapacitate the muscles, either killing the prey, or paralysing it so that the snake can swallow it.

## Fundamental mechanism of action

The mechanism of action of the FAS proteins is associated with their ability to attach to molecules of the acetylcholinesterase in the muscles and their neuromuscular junctions, and thereby interfere with their necessary neuromodulatory inhibition.

## Molecular nature and physiological effect

Fasciculins from mambas inhibit mammalian and fish acetylcholinesterases intensely, but are less active against the corresponding enzymes in insects, reptiles and birds. As one might expect of fast-acting venoms, they are fairly small proteins of about 61 amino acid residues. Their three-dimensional shape is three-fingered, and is secured by four cross-linking disulfide bridges.

## Disruption of acetylcholine signalling

Venom disrupters of acetylcholine neurotransmission generally penetrate the neuromuscular junction, where they interfere with either the production or reception of acetylcholine, or the hydrolysis of acetylcholine after it has achieved its function of neurotransmission; mamba fasciculins prevent the final stage of this process by binding to acetylcholinesterase and blocking its action on acetylcholine; the result is that after the acetylcholine has transmitted the required stimulus, it continues with the stimulus after it has become inappropriate. That mechanism is in some ways similar to the effect of the so-called organophosphate nerve agents; the blockage of the acetylcholinesterase action is what causes the fasciculation that inspired the name *fasciculin*.

## Docking and activity

In mammalian acetylcholinesterase two conserved peripheral anionic residues form part of the enzyme where the FAS molecule docks. Insect and avian acetylcholinesterases lack the two residues in those positions, and that drastically reduces their affinity for mamba fasciculins. However, there is a significant, though reduced, toxic effect, because several basic residues in the venom protein still establish and maintain contacts with the enzyme. This is unusual in protein complementarity, in that it involves attractions between multiple charged residues, but without any salt linkage between the molecules.

# Far Barcelona

***Far Barcelona*** is a two-masted schooner, of Norwegian origin, rigged with a gaff sail (asymmetric trapezoidal sail), built in the community of Kvinherred, Norway, in 1874.

It now serves as a training ship and is also an ambassador for the city of Barcelona. It obtains its energy through solar energy and wind energy.

## Description

It is a schooner of Norwegian origin that was used for fishing, whaling, cabotage maritime transport and the transport of immigrants with the name *Anne Dorthea.* It has dimensions of 23 m in length, and with the bowsprit of 33 m in maximum length, 6.76 m in beam and a displacement of 140 tons. It has recently been incorporated into the fleet of the Barcelona Maritime Museum.

## History

It was initially owned by two partners from Haugesund, and named *Anne Dorthea* in honor of the wife of one of them. At first it was basically dedicated to trade and transportation through the North Sea and Baltic Sea, especially salted herring and general cargo. Occasionally, he dedicated himself to transporting emigrants to North America. In the second half of the twentieth century, a 100 HP diesel engine was added and during the 1970s it was removed from service for restoration work carried out in Forlandsvaag Bay. In 1984 the ship was acquired by Miquel Borillo Esteve, who dedicated himself to rehabilitating it, first in the port of Vinaròs and in 1990 in the port of Barcelona, with the help of the association "Barcelona, fes-te a la mar" and, later, by the "Consorci el Far". Groups with social and labor exclusion problems participated in its restoration. It was adapted and transformed into a training ship, intended for teaching traditional navigation and open school social rehabilitation. In July 2006, the schooner was renamed *Far Barcelona* in a ceremony officiated by Joan Clos, then mayor of Barcelona, and that same summer, she participated in two legs of the *Tall Ships' Races regatta.*

Due to the dissolution of the Consorci El Far, the vessel became part of the boat collection of the Barcelona Maritime Museum in September 2016.

title: Melody

abstract: A melody, also tune, voice, or line, is a linear succession of musical tones that the listener perceives as a single entity. In its most literal sense, a melody is a combination of pitch and rhythm, while more figuratively, the term can include other musical elements such as tonal color. It is the foreground to the background accompaniment. A line or part need not be a foreground melody. Melodies often consist of one or more musical phrases or motifs, and are usually repeated throughout a composition in various forms. Melodies may also be described by their melodic motion or the pitches or the intervals between pitches, pitch range, tension and release, continuity and coherence, cadence, and shape.

# Melody

A **melody** (from Greek μελῳδία *(melōidía)* 'singing, chanting'), also **tune**, **voice**, or **line**, is a linear succession of musical tones that the listener perceives as a single entity. In its most literal sense, a melody is a combination of pitch and rhythm, while more figuratively, the term can include other musical elements such as tonal color. It is the foreground to the background accompaniment. A line or part need not be a foreground melody.

Melodies often consist of one or more musical phrases or motifs, and are usually repeated throughout a composition in various forms. Melodies may also be described by their melodic motion or the pitches or the intervals between pitches (predominantly conjunct or disjunct or with further restrictions), pitch range, tension and release, continuity and coherence, cadence, and shape.

## Function and elements

Johann Philipp Kirnberger argued:

> The true goal of music—its proper enterprise—is melody. All the parts of harmony have as their ultimate purpose only beautiful melody. Therefore, the question of which is the more significant, melody or harmony, is futile. Beyond doubt, the means is subordinate to the end.
>
> Johann Philipp Kirnberger (1771)

The Norwegian composer Marcus Paus has argued:

> Melody is to music what a scent is to the senses: it jogs our memory. It gives face to form, and identity and character to the process and proceedings. It is not only a musical subject, but a manifestation of the musically subjective. It carries and radiates personality with as much clarity and poignancy as harmony and rhythm combined. As such a powerful tool of communication, melody serves not only as protagonist in its own drama, but as messenger from the author to the audience.
>
> Marcus Paus (2017)

Given the many and varied elements and styles of melody "many extant explanations \[of melody\] confine us to specific stylistic models, and they are too exclusive." Paul Narveson claimed in 1984 that more than three-quarters of melodic topics had not been explored thoroughly.

The melodies existing in most European music written before the 20th century, and popular music throughout the 20th century, featured "fixed and easily discernible frequency patterns", recurring "events, often periodic, at all structural levels" and "recurrence of durations and patterns of durations".

Melodies in the 20th century "utilized a greater variety of pitch resources than ha\[d\] been the custom in any other historical period of Western music." While the diatonic scale was still used, the chromatic scale became "widely employed." Composers also allotted a structural role to "the qualitative dimensions" that previously had been "almost exclusively reserved for pitch and rhythm". Kliewer states, "The essential elements of any melody are duration, pitch, and quality (timbre), texture, and loudness. Though the same melody may be recognizable when played with a wide variety of timbres and dynamics, the latter may still be an "element of linear ordering."

## Examples

Different musical styles use melody in different ways. For example:

text:
# Newlands, Harare

**Newlands** is a low density, residential suburb located in eastern Harare, Zimbabwe.

## Name

Newlands was named by South African-born Colin Duff, the Secretary for Agriculture in the 1920s after Newlands, Cape Town. Duff had played rugby for Western Province before moving north to then Southern Rhodesia.

## Features

Newlands is best noted for its proximity to Harare International Airport not to far from nearby Arlington as well as a notable number of residents of Asian descent similar to Greendale and Belvedere. The Eastern suburbs are generally considered middle to upper middle class areas, not quite as wealthy as the northeastern suburbs, but better off than areas south of the Harare-Bulawayo railway.

Newlands is a mixed use suburb of Harare. It is located in the east of the city. It borders the suburbs of Eastlea, Gunhill and Highlands. The long-established Newlands Country Club Golf Course, forms the eastern edge of Newlands. It is a garden suburb, with many of its homes dating back to the 1930s and 1940s. It is also one of the more popular dining spots in the city, renowned for its cafes, bars, hotels and diverse cuisine, mainly based around Victoria and Princess Drives. Nearby suburbs with a similar atmosphere, popular for their mixed use nature and dining include Eastlea, The Avenues, Milton Park and Greendale. The suburb has a vibrant cosmopolitan atmosphere, and the residents comprise a mix of cultures including black, white, Indian and Chinese.

## Housing

The houses in Newlands are on average larger than older neighbourhoods such as Eastlea, and consists mostly of detached homes. The gardens are traditionally large and contain many trees, but in recent times, larger residential buildings and townhouses, with more houses and smaller gardens, have been built along commercial corridors of the suburb, particularly around Cambridge Rd.

# Psalms of Thomas

The ***Psalms of Thomas*** (more correctly ***Psalms of Thom***) are a set of third-century psalms found appended to the end of a Coptic Manichaean psalm book, which was in turn part of the Medinet Madi library excavated in 1929. The psalms were originally published in 1938 by Charles Allberry.

The meter and structure of the psalms suggest that they were originally written in Eastern Aramaic. There are 20 psalms in total. The themes and content of the psalms bear a considerable resemblance to the Hymn of the Pearl from the Acts of Thomas.

## Authorship

Considerable controversy continues as to whether the Thomas or Thom referred to could be the Apostle Thomas, Mani's disciple, also called Thomas, or the Gnostic concept of the divine twin. This is because the latter is referred to in other parts of the Coptic Manichaean Psalm-book as a distinct person from the Apostle. The enigma has since deepened with the publication of the Cologne Mani-Codex in the 1970s, which showed that Mani himself came out of a baptizing Christian sect called the Elkasaites (= Elcesaites).

## List of psalms

List of the titles of the 20 psalms:

1. Concerning the Light

6. Concerning the Living Spirit
7. That of the Living Spirit

## Mandaean parallels

In 1949, Torgny Säve-Söderbergh suggested that the psalms were largely based upon canonical Mandaean texts (despite Jesus being mentioned positively in two psalms). Säve-Söderbergh's work on the psalms demonstrating that Mandaeism did not derive from Manichaeism, as was formerly commonly believed. For instance, Psalm 13 has parallels with prayers 125, 129 (cf. Psalms of Thomas 13:1–8), and 155 (cf. Psalms of Thomas 13:37–45) in the Qulasta.

Säve-Söderbergh (1949) notes Mandaean parallels such as the following.

* Psalms 1, 2, 6, 8, 12, and 14 have concluding formulae (e.g., on the victorious return of Light) that are similar to the Mandaean *ʿniana* ("response") prayers, which are Qulasta prayers 78103.
* Psalm 2 has parallels with Hymn 15 in Book 3 of the Left Ginza (both have "trembling demons" that were defeated).
* In Psalm 5, the phrase "treasure of life" is a parallel of the Mandaean formula "I am a *mana* of the Great Life," a phrase often found in the numerous hymns of Book 2 of the Left Ginza. In Mandaic, *mana* (ࡌࡀࡍࡀ) has been variously translated as "mind," "*nous*," or "treasure." In Mandaeism, Simat Hayyi, the name of a female uthra, also literally translates as "Treasure of Life."
* Psalm 6 directly corresponds with Qulasta prayer 66, which is in turn identical with Hymn 43 in Book 3 of the Left Ginza.
* Psalm 8 has various Mandaean motifs, such as the capture of demons and the triumph of Light (e.g., chapter 15 in Book 2 of the Left Ginza).
* In Psalm 12, phrases such as "the empty one" and "the laden one" have parallels with the end of chapter 47 of the Mandaean Book of John. In the same chapter, phrases such as "ears but would not hear" have parallels in Psalm 14.
* Psalm 13 has parallels with Qulasta prayer 24 and hymns , 22, and 41 in Book 3 of the Left Ginza.
* Coptic passage 220 (i.e., Psalm 13) is similar to Qulasta prayer 155, which is the first Saturday *rahma* (devotional) prayers.
* In Psalm 14, Hylē's answer of co-existing opposites (e.g., "death and life") is similar to Ruha's answer to Dinanukht in Book 6 of the Right Ginza. Both texts also resemble the Nag Hammadi Gnostic poem *The Thunder, Perfect Mind*.
* In Psalm 17, the "mockery litany," in which aspects of the transient material world are mocked, has parallels with chapter 12 of the Mandaean Book of John.
* Psalm 18 enumerates the senses and limbs, with its text similar to chapter 15 of the Mandaean Book of John, Hymn 19 in Book 3 of the Left Ginza, and prayer 96 of the Qulasta (identical with Hymn 2 in Book 3 of the Left Ginza).

The parallels are summarized in the table below.

| PsTh | GL | GR | CP | MJ |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2 | 3.15 |  |  |  |
| 5 | 2 |  |  |  |

| 18 | 3.2,19 |  | 96 | 15 |

Van Bladel (2017) suggests that an equally plausible scenario is that of Manichaeism and Mandaeism both having borrowed the hymns from another common source, likely the funeral prayer(s) of an Aramaic-speaking Judeo-Christian group in Mesopotamia such as the Elchasites.

title: Faribault station (Rock Island Line)

abstract: The Rock Island Depot is a historic railroad depot in downtown Faribault, Minnesota, United States, constructed by the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway in January 1902. The line was turned over to the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad in June of the same year. The depot was constructed for use as a passenger depot and originally contained four rooms. The central pavilion area, housing office and entry, was flanked by men and women's waiting rooms to the south and north; a baggage room occupied the room to the north of the ladies waiting room. After the 1930s, the building was converted to use as a combination passenger/freight depot. For a time, the depot was served by the famous Twin Star Rocket.

title: Melody (1953 film)

abstract: Melody is an American animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and directed by Ward Kimball and Charles A. Nichols. Originally released on May 28, 1953, this film was the first in a proposed series of animated cartoon shorts teaching the principles of music, called Adventures in Music. Only one other entry in the series was produced, Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom, which was released later that same year, winning an Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons) the following year. Walt Disney was always a fan of music, and it shows in all of his films. He said: "There's a terrific power to music. You can run any of these pictures and they'd be dragging and boring, but the minute you put music behind them, they have life and validity they don't get any other way".

# Melody (1953 film)

***Melody*** is an American animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and directed by Ward Kimball and Charles A. Nichols. Originally released on May 28, 1953, this film was the first in a proposed series of animated cartoon shorts teaching the principles of music, called *Adventures in Music*. Only one other entry in the series was produced, *Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom*, which was released later that same year, winning an Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Cartoons) the following year.

Walt Disney was always a fan of music, and it shows in all of his films. He said: "There's a terrific power to music. You can run any of these pictures and they'd be dragging and boring, but the minute you put music behind them, they have life and validity they don't get any other way".

## Plot

Professor Owl instructs his class of birds on how to find melody around them. Professor Owl demonstrates how melodies are assembled by playing a tune on a small piano. Following this, the class flies off to discover the many melodic sounds of nature. The chorus sings about the sounds of nature (*"The Bird and the Cricket and the Willow Tree")*. Professor Owl notes that the only two creatures that can sing are birds and humans.

The next scene uses melody to illustrate the various stages of a person's life, beginning with "Rock-a-bye Baby" for birth, followed by "The Alphabet Song" for school; "Far Above Cayuga's Waters" for college; "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes" for courtship, followed by "Here Comes the Bride (and there goes the groom)". The later stages of life are represented by "Home! Sweet Home!", "Happy Birthday to You", "Silver Threads Among the Gold", "The Old Gray Mare", "Auld Lang Syne" and "Oh, Dem Golden Slippers".

Finally, an example is shown on how a simple melody can be expanded into a symphony: an elaborate version of the simple tune which opened the lesson. The cartoon ends with a reprise of *"The Bird and the Cricket and the Willow Tree"*.

## Cast

## Releases

The first world showing of *Melody* in public was shown in two Los Angeles theaters on its release day, including the Paramount Theatre.

It was also shown as part of the Disneyland 3D Jamboree at the Fantasyland Theatre hosted by the Mouseketeers from the Mickey Mouse Club from 1956 to 1964. It was shown alongside fellow 3D short *Working for Peanuts* with Donald Duck and Chip 'n' Dale.

It was released on DVD twice: once on *Fantasia 2000* and then on *Disney Rarities: Celebrated Shorts, 1920s–1960s*.

It was also shown on television twice: once on *Mickey's Mouse Tracks* episode 27 and on *Donald's Quack Attack* episode 4.

## Soundtrack

*Melody* soundtrack was released in 1953. One of the songs of the official soundtrack includes "The Bird and the Cricket and the Willow Tree" by Sonny Burke. It was sung by the Disney Studio Chorus over a sequence showing animated birds chirping, crickets rubbing their legs together, and wind blowing through a willow tree. The song has a pleasant tune and lyrics that are simply a list of these musical nature sounds.

# Newfoundland and Labrador Route 81

**Route 81**, also known as **Markland Road**, is a 28.0-kilometre-long (17.4 mi) north–south highway on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland, connecting the towns of Colinet and Whitbourne via Markland.

In 2019, Route 81 was voted third Worst Road in Atlantic Canada by the Canadian Automobile Association's Worst Roads list. Markland Road had been on the list for the last decade.

## Route description

Route 81 begins along the banks of the Colinet River in Colinet at an intersection with Route 91 (Old Placentia Highway). It heads north to leave Colinet and become a gravel road as it passes through hilly terrain for the next several kilometres. It crosses over several small brooks before becoming paved again and passing through farmland. The highway now crosses over the Hodge River before passing through Markland. Route 81 continues north to pass along the banks of Junction Pond to enter Whitbourne, where it passes through neighbourhoods before making a sharp left onto Main Road in downtown. It now passes by several businesses and passes through some more rural areas before coming to an end at an interchange between Route 1 (Trans Canada Highway, Exit 28), and Route 80 (Trinity Road).

abstract: The Victoria Cross (VC) is a military decoration that may be bestowed upon members of the British or Commonwealth armed forces for acts of valour or gallantry performed in the face of the enemy. Within the British honours system and those of many Commonwealth nations it is the highest award a soldier can receive for actions in combat. It was established in 1856 and since then has been awarded 1,356 times; three service personnel have received the award twice. The VC was introduced on 29 January 1856 by Queen Victoria to reward acts of valour during the Crimean War. The traditional explanation of the source of the gunmetal from which the medals are struck is that it derives from Russian cannon captured at the siege of Sevastopol. Recent research has thrown doubt on this story, suggesting a variety of origins. The original Royal Warrant did not contain a specific clause regarding posthumous awards, although official policy was to not award the VC posthumously. Between 1897 and 1901, several notices were issued in the London Gazette regarding soldiers who would have been awarded the VC had they survived. In a partial reversal of policy in 1902, six of the soldiers mentioned were granted the VC, but not "officially" awarded the medal. In 1907, the posthumous policy was completely reversed and medals were sent to the next of kin of the six officers and men. The Victoria Cross warrant was not officially amended to explicitly allow posthumous awards until 1920 but one quarter of all awards for the First World War were posthumous. Due to its rarity, the VC is highly prized and the medal has fetched over £400,000 at auction. A number of public and private collections are devoted to the Victoria Cross. The private collection of Lord Ashcroft, amassed since 1986, contains over one-tenth of all VCs awarded. Following a 2008 donation to the Imperial War Museum, the Ashcroft collection went on public display alongside the museum's Victoria and George Cross collection in November 2010. Since 1990, three Commonwealth countries that retain the Queen as head of state have instituted their own versions of the VC. As a result, the original Victoria Cross is sometimes referred to as the "Commonwealth Victoria Cross" or the "Imperial Victoria Cross", to distinguish it from the newer awards. The British Royal Regiment of Artillery was formed at Woolwich in 1716. Being present at almost every battle the British Army has been involved in, several of its batteries are now named after Victoria Cross actions. J Battery Royal Horse Artillery is one of these units, and is named after the Battle of Sidi Rezegh during which Second Lieutenant George Gunn performed the deeds for which he was later awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross. Since its introduction there have been sixty-five awards of the Victoria Cross to artillerymen, awarded for bravery in eight different wars. The first award was during the Crimean War and the last for the Second World War. The recipients include an Indian serving in the Indian Artillery, a member of the Royal Australian Artillery, and sixteen members of the then Bengal or Bombay Armies. The remainder have been from the three branches of the British Royal Artillery: the Royal Horse Artillery, the Royal Field Artillery, and the Royal Garrison Artillery. Two artillerymen received the award for actions performed while they were serving with other formations, one in the First World War with the Royal Flying Corps, and one in the Second World War with the British Commandos.

Within the British honours system and those of many Commonwealth nations it is the highest award a soldier can receive for actions in combat. It was established in 1856 and since then has been awarded 1,356 times; three service personnel have received the award twice.

The VC was introduced on 29 January 1856 by Queen Victoria to reward acts of valour during the Crimean War. The traditional explanation of the source of the gunmetal from which the medals are struck is that it derives from Russian cannon captured at the siege of Sevastopol. Recent research has thrown doubt on this story, suggesting a variety of origins. The original Royal Warrant did not contain a specific clause regarding posthumous awards, although official policy was to not award the VC posthumously. Between 1897 and 1901, several notices were issued in the *London Gazette* regarding soldiers who would have been awarded the VC had they survived. In a partial reversal of policy in 1902, six of the soldiers mentioned were granted the VC, but not "officially" awarded the medal. In 1907, the posthumous policy was completely reversed and medals were sent to the next of kin of the six officers and men. The Victoria Cross warrant was not officially amended to explicitly allow posthumous awards until 1920 but one quarter of all awards for the First World War were posthumous.

Due to its rarity, the VC is highly prized and the medal has fetched over 400,000 at auction. A number of public and private collections are devoted to the Victoria Cross. The private collection of Lord Ashcroft, amassed since 1986, contains over one-tenth of all VCs awarded. Following a 2008 donation to the Imperial War Museum, the Ashcroft collection went on public display alongside the museum's Victoria and George Cross collection in November 2010. Since 1990, three Commonwealth countries that retain the Queen as head of state have instituted their own versions of the VC. As a result, the original Victoria Cross is sometimes referred to as the "Commonwealth Victoria Cross" or the "Imperial Victoria Cross", to distinguish it from the newer awards.

The British Royal Regiment of Artillery was formed at Woolwich in 1716. Being present at almost every battle the British Army has been involved in, several of its batteries are now named after Victoria Cross actions. J (Sidi Rezegh) Battery Royal Horse Artillery is one of these units, and is named after the Battle of Sidi Rezegh during which Second Lieutenant George Gunn performed the deeds for which he was later awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross.

Since its introduction there have been sixty-five awards of the Victoria Cross to artillerymen, awarded for bravery in eight different wars. The first award was during the Crimean War and the last for the Second World War. The recipients include an Indian serving in the Indian Artillery, a member of the Royal Australian Artillery, and sixteen members of the then Bengal or Bombay Armies. The remainder have been from the three branches of the British Royal Artillery: the Royal Horse Artillery, the Royal Field Artillery, and the Royal Garrison Artillery. Two artillerymen received the award for actions performed while they were serving with other formations, one in the First World War with the Royal Flying Corps, and one in the Second World War with the British Commandos.
