The **Nacra 15** is a performance catamaran used for racing. It went into production in 2015. It was designed as a smaller version of the Olympic multihull class, the Nacra 17.

## Youth selection

In early 2015, World Sailing announced that they were looking for a new youth multihull for the ISAF Youth World Championships with a targeted crew weight of approx 110–130 kg . Nacra Sailing announced two bids for the trials, the existing Nacra 16 and the all new Nacra 15. After the trials and extensive consideration by World Sailing at their AGM in China, the Nacra 15 was confirmed as the new Youth World Championships class. It was also un-expectedly announced as a new class for the Youth Olympic Games. In 2016 British RYA selected the Nacra 15 as their new youth multihull boat, replacing the Spitfire.

# NLRP7

**NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 7** is a protein that in humans is encoded by the *NLRP7* gene.

## Function

NALPs are cytoplasmic proteins that form a subfamily within the larger CATERPILLER protein family. Most short NALPs, such as NALP7, have an N-terminal pyrin (MEFV) domain (PYD), followed by a NACHT domain, a NACHT-associated domain (NAD), and a C-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) region. NALPs are implicated in the activation of proinflammatory caspases (e.g., CASP1) via their involvement in multiprotein complexes called inflammasomes.

title: Met-enkephalin

abstract: Met-enkephalin, also known as metenkefalin (INN), sometimes referred to as opioid growth factor (OGF), is a naturally occurring, endogenous opioid peptide that has opioid effects of a relatively short duration. It is one of the two forms of enkephalin, the other being leu-enkephalin. The enkephalins are considered to be the primary endogenous ligands of the δ-opioid receptor, due to their high potency and selectivity for the site over the other endogenous opioids.

# Met-enkephalin

**Met-enkephalin**, also known as **metenkefalin** (INN), sometimes referred to as **opioid growth factor** (**OGF**), is a naturally occurring, endogenous opioid peptide that has opioid effects of a relatively short duration. It is one of the two forms of enkephalin, the other being leu-enkephalin. The enkephalins are considered to be the primary endogenous ligands of the δ-opioid receptor, due to their high potency and selectivity for the site over the other endogenous opioids.

## History

Met-enkephalin was discovered and characterized by John Hughes, Hans Kosterlitz, *et al*. in 1975 after a search for endogenous ligands of the opioid receptors.

## Chemistry

Met-enkephalin is a pentapeptide with the amino acid sequence tyr-gly-gly-phe-met. The tyrosine residue at position 1 is thought to be analogous to the 3-hydroxyl group on morphine.

## Biochemistry

### Distribution

Met-enkephalin is found mainly in the adrenal medulla and throughout the central nervous system (CNS), including in the striatum, cerebral cortex, olfactory tubercle, hippocampus, septum, thalamus, and periaqueductal gray, as well as the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. It is also present in the periphery, notably in some primary afferent fibers that innervate the pelvic viscera.

### Biosynthesis

Met-enkephalin is synthesized from proenkephalin via proteolytic cleavage in two metabolic steps. Proenkephalin A is first reduced by either one of two trypsin-like endopeptidase enzymes, prohormone convertase 1 (PC1) or prohormone convertase 2 (PC2); then, the resulting intermediates are further reduced by the enzyme carboxypeptidase E (CPE; previously known as enkephalin convertase (EC)). Proenkephalin A contains four sequences of met-enkephalin (at the following positions: 100–104; 107–111; 136–140; 210–214), and as a result, its cleavage generates four copies of met-enkephalin peptides at once. In addition, anabolism of proenkephalin A results in the production of one copy each of two C-terminal-extended met-enkephalin derivatives, the heptapeptide met-enkephalin-arg-phe (261–267), and the octapeptide met-enkephalin-arg-gly-leu (186–193), though whether they affect the opioid receptors in a similar manner as met-enkephalin is not entirely clear.

### Clearance

Met- and leu-enkephalin are metabolized by a variety of different enzymes, including aminopeptidase N (APN), neutral endopeptidase (NEP), dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP3), carboxypeptidase A6 (CPA6), and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). These enzymes are sometimes referred to as enkephalinases.

### Biological activity

Met-enkephalin is a potent agonist of the δ-opioid receptor, and to a lesser extent the μ-opioid receptor, with little to no effect on the κ-opioid receptor. It is through these receptors that met-enkephalin produces its opioid effects, such as analgesia and antidepressant-like effects.

It is also the endogenous ligand of the opioid growth factor receptor (OGFR; formerly known as the ζ-opioid receptor), which plays a role in the regulation of tissue growth and regeneration; hence why met-enkephalin is sometimes called OGF instead.

### Pharmacokinetics

Met-enkephalin has low bioavailability, is rapidly metabolized, and has a very short half-life (minutes). These properties are considered undesirable in pharmaceuticals as large doses would need to be administered multiple times an hour to maintain a therapeutically relevant effect, making it unlikely that met-enkephalin will ever be used as a medicine.

\[D-Ala2\]-Met-enkephalinamide (DALA), is a synthetic enkephalin analog which is not susceptible to degradation by brain enzymes and at low doses (5 to 10 micrograms) caused profound, long-lasting, morphine-like analgesia when microinjected into a rat’s brain.

title: Niederstetten Air Base

abstract: Niederstetten Air Base is located 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of the city of Niederstetten in Northern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. In 1936 construction of an air field for the Luftwaffe was completed. However, no permanent buildings and structures were erected, indicating that there were no plans for a permanent air field. The base was used during World War II by several Luftwaffe units including night fighters. After the end of World War II the air field was abandoned. Beginning in 1957 works started to convert the former air force base into an air base to house units of the recently formed German Army's Aviation Corps, utilising the facilities of the previous occupant. These final works were completed in 1962 after which numerous units were stationed at Niederstetten Air Base. Currently, the air base is home of Army Aviation Transport Helicopter Regiment 30 of the German Army. The regiment, which was relocated to Niederstetten in 1980, was part of German Army's Airmobile Operations Division, the division's headquarters being in Veitshöchheim. The division was dissolved in 2014, and Army Aviation Transport Helicopter Regiment 30 was subsequently integrated into Rapid Forces Division. Approximately 750 members of the armed forces are at present employed at the air base. However, due to further restructuring within the German Army Aviation Corps this number was increased by 600 in 2011. Army Aviation Transport Helicopter Regiment 30 is equipped with helicopters of the type Bell UH-1D. These helicopters are being replaced by medium-sized NH90s, 32 of which will be stationed at Niederstetten Air Base. To accommodate the new aircraft an extensive building program started in 2007, the first result of which was the completion of a hangar to house 8 helicopters of the type NH90 in February 2008. The air base is also used for civilian purposes, particularly for business flights and recreational purposes. In order to comply with EU regulations and to retain permission for civilian use, the runway was extended by 200 metres in 2011. To accommodate the new aircraft an extensive building program started in 2007.

# Yet Again

**"Yet Again"** is a song by American indie rock band Grizzly Bear, released as the second single from the band's fourth studio album, *Shields* (2012), on August 2, 2012.

The song features lead vocals from Ed Droste, and is one of two tracks to appear on the album recorded in Marfa, Texas, during the band's initial sessions for *Shields*.

## Artwork

The single's front cover features *Untitled #17* by American artist Richard Diebenkorn. Crafted in 1981, the image was created using gouache, crayon and graphite on paper, and also appears in the liner notes to *Shields*, alongside other Diebenkorn works.

## Music video

A music video for "Yet Again," directed by Emily Kai Bock was released on September 27, 2012. The video begins with an ice skater practicing in an empty ice rink. The ice skater then breaks through the ice and winds up in a lake. She then walks through a carnival and through a forest in order to get back to her home. The video ends with the skater freaking out.

According to Bock, the skater was meant to be "symbolic of adolescence and the failure to learn a performance or role."

## Reception

Upon the single's release Pitchfork Media awarded the song "Best New Track", stating "With the Droste-led "Yet Again", \[Grizzly Bear\] suggest an arena-sized side of their ever-expanding sonic arsenal. Droste's vocal, soft and intimate as ever, suggests an affinity with the broad emotional palette of former touring partner Thom Yorke." Consequence of Sound described the track as a "more aggressive cut" than the band's previous single, "Sleeping Ute".

Rolling Stone Magazine named the song the 29th best song of 2012.

title: NS-2000

abstract: First produced in 1982, the Yamaha NS-2000 is an improved version of the older NS-1000 speaker that was first made in the early to mid-1970s. Like the NS-1000, it is a 3-way acoustic suspension speaker system with a beryllium-dome midrange and tweeter. However, the woofer of the NS-2000 was entirely new, made of pure carbon fiber instead of paper. The cabinet is also improved and is larger and heavier than that of the NS-1000. The NS-2000 was Yamaha's top-of-the-line, flagship speaker product when it debuted. A few years later, the NSX-10000 was produced in limited numbers and is very similar to the NS-2000. The NS-2000 was later replaced by the smaller NS-1000x, which has a smaller woofer and similar but different-model beryllium-dome midrange drivers and tweeters. A limited issue walnut-veneered version of the NS-1000x, called the NS-1000xw, looks more similar to the NS-2000 than the standard black NS-1000x does. Also of note in Yamaha's line of beryllium-dome speakers is the later and extremely rare GF-1.

However, the woofer of the NS-2000 was entirely new, made of pure carbon fiber instead of paper. The cabinet is also improved and is larger and heavier than that of the NS-1000.

The NS-2000 was Yamaha's top-of-the-line, flagship speaker product when it debuted. A few years later, the NSX-10000 was produced in limited numbers and is very similar to the NS-2000. The NS-2000 was later replaced by the smaller NS-1000x, which has a smaller woofer and similar but different-model beryllium-dome midrange drivers and tweeters. A limited issue walnut-veneered version of the NS-1000x, called the NS-1000xw, looks more similar to the NS-2000 than the standard black NS-1000x does. Also of note in Yamaha's line of beryllium-dome speakers is the later and extremely rare GF-1.

## Woofer

The woofer is made from pure, long carbon fibers that were fabricated into sheets. Eight of the sheets are bonded together to make the cone. The dust cap in the center is also a carbon fiber sheet formed into a dome. The woofer magnet is 11,350 Gauss and 220,000 Maxwell. The frame is diecast aluminum.

The original rolled edging on the woofer was made of polyurethane and designed for optimal sonic performance. However, it was often fragile and deteriorated on NS-2000 speakers. Fortunately, replacement of the edge can be done by speaker repair shops and the woofer can then continue working well.

The frequency response of the woofer is rated down to 28 Hz, making the NS-2000 a full-range speaker that may not need a separate subwoofer for low frequencies. The crossover starts at 500 Hz.

The specifications read that the woofer is 33 cm (13 in) in diameter. It is 13 inches when measured between the outer edges of the diecast aluminum frame. The inner diameter of the frame, including the cone and foam edge surround, measure about 12 inches.

## Midrange

The midrange dome is 8.8 cm (3.5 in) in diameter and made from beryllium metal, a very low-density (1.8 g/cm3) but strong metal, fabricated by vapor depositing the metal onto a dome mold. The result is that the midrange dome is very responsive. The dome surround is made from a cloth that is coated with two types of resins and is folded to create creases that are tangent to the dome. This design holds the dome firmly, yet allows the dome to move accurately.

The midrange dome is covered by a protective wire net. The dome is also partially covered by a ring. The ring is designed to function as a sound diffuser to improve sound dispersion and stereo imaging, but it also helps protect the dome. Some owners of the NS-1000 and NS-2000 have experimented with removing the wire net and diffuser to hear the difference, but the dome should not be touched. The NS-2000 has a cloth cover, and for some sound purists it makes a sonic difference to them to remove the cover at least (like the muffled sound of talking through a t-shirt or not).

The midrange operates the frequencies between 500 Hz and 6 kHz. The magnet is 18,400 Gauss and 150,000 Maxwell. The frame is diecast aluminum.

If input power handling is exceeded, or the dome is defective, the dome can crack or shatter into pieces. If this happens, it is possible for beryllium metal particles to be released into the air. Beryllium particles in the lungs and body are toxic and carcinogenic. Do not inhale anything from the dome.

The midrange level control knob can be turned to adjust the level between +2 dB to infinity (no sound). The tweeter has a similar level adjustment. Some owners of the NS-1000 and NS-2000 have modified their speaker to bypass these level controls which could possibly add distortion. The improved speaker, the NSX-10000, does not have these level controls.

## Tweeter

The tweeter is a beryllium deep dome design with a diffuser ring and protective wire net. It operates the frequencies 6 kHz to 20 kHz (and capable of much higher). The dome size is 3 cm (1-3/16") and it weighs only 0.028 grams. Similar to the midrange but smaller, it also has a tangential surround made of cloth coated with resins. The magnet is 18,800 Gauss and 34,000 Maxwell. The frame is diecast aluminum.

## Cabinet

The cabinet is a work of wood craftsmanship and acoustic engineering. The engineering involved using computer modal analysis to avoid excessive resonance and achieve a well-balanced modal response from the cabinet.

The engineering result is a cabinet with rounded corners that are carved from solid beech wood. Most of the rest of the cabinet is made from thick, high density particle board. The facing is American walnut. Inside the cabinet there is additional bracing in all the corners and in some other areas. The cabinet is filled with acoustic damping material. The speaker is acoustic suspension, so the whole cabinet is airtight. The total weight of an NS-2000 speaker is 47 kg (103 lb 10 oz) and the dimensions are 440 mm × 752 mm × 404 mm (17+38 in × 29+58 in × 15+78 in).

## Crossover Network

The crossover network was designed to maximize high frequency performance and minimize phase shift. All capacitors used are metallized paper (MP) types. The wiring is oxygen-free copper (OFC).

* Type: three-way acoustic suspension
* Woofer: 33 cm (13-inch) pure carbon fiber cone

title: NLR Class 75

abstract: The North London Railway Class 75 is a class of 0-6-0T steam locomotive. Thirty were built to a design by J. C. Park from 1879 to 1905. They were designed for shunting the NLR's docks and were very compact but powerful engines. This made them suitable later for transfer onto the Cromford and High Peak Railway in Derbyshire, and some were sent north. They worked there until they were displaced by J94 "Austerity" 0-6-0STs.

# NLR Class 75

The **North London Railway Class 75** is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive.

Thirty were built to a design by J. C. Park from 1879 to 1905. They were designed for shunting the NLR's docks and were very compact but powerful engines. This made them suitable later for transfer onto the Cromford and High Peak Railway in Derbyshire, and some were sent north. They worked there until they were displaced by J94 "Austerity" 0-6-0STs.

## Numbering

They were originally numbered 15–18, 61–66, 75–80, 91–95, 104, 107, 111, 115–116, 119, 121–123. In 1909 the nine locomotives numbered above 100 were transferred to the London and North Western Railway and renumbered in the 2600s. The remaining locomotives were also transferred at a later date and renumbered in the 2800s. All passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway on grouping, and were renumbered 7503–7532. In 1934 the surviving engines were renumbered by adding 20,000 to their numbers. In 1948 the 14 surviving engines passed to British Railways on nationalisation and were renumbered 58850–58863.

## Preservation

One, BR 58850 (ex LMS 27505, LMS 7505, LNWR 2650, NLR 116) – the last of the class to be withdrawn, in 1960 – has been preserved and has run on the Bluebell Railway. However as of 2017 it is stored at Sheffield Park shed awaiting overhaul.

# Joseph Dunninger

**Joseph Dunninger** (April 28, 1892 – March 9, 1975), known as "The Amazing Dunninger", was one of the most famous and proficient mentalists of all time. He was one of the pioneer performers of magic on radio and television. A debunker of fraudulent mediums, Dunninger claimed to replicate through trickery all spiritualist phenomena.

## Biography

Dunninger was born in New York City. He headlined throughout the Keith-Orpheum Circuit, and was much in demand for private entertainment. At the age of seventeen he was invited to perform at the home of Theodore Roosevelt in Oyster Bay and at the home of the inventor Thomas Edison, both of whom were avid admirers of Dunninger. President Franklin D. Roosevelt invited Dunninger to the White House on a number of occasions to demonstrate his mentalist skills.

Dunninger was a debunker of fraudulent mediums. He claimed to replicate through trickery all spiritualist phenomena. He wrote the book *Inside the Medium's Cabinet* (1935) which exposed the tricks of mediumship. He also exposed how the indian rope trick could be performed by camera trickery. In 1935, Dunninger attended a séance of the fraudulent medium Emerson Gilbert. His testimony was used in court against the medium.

Dunninger had a standing offer of $10,000 to anyone who could prove that he used confederates or "stooges." Through *Scientific American* magazine and his own organization the Universal Council for Psychic Research he also made an offer to any medium who could produce by psychic or supernatural means any physical phenomena that he could not duplicate or explain by natural means. No medium ever won the reward. According to Dunninger "through all these long years, I have sought good honest ghosts, phantoms, spirits, astral beings, banshees, fays, wee folk, apparitions, fetches—the whole pack and passel of the unsubstantial world—and I have always been able to prove them frauds."

He was a good friend to many notables in the magic community including Harry Houdini, Francis Martinka and Tony Slydini. He maintained a lifelong friendship with author of *The Shadow*, Walter B. Gibson, who guest wrote or cowrote a number of books for Dunninger on magic, psychic phenomena and spiritualism. In 1937, Max Holden considered "Dunninger the foremost magician and showman of the present day". He acted as technical adviser as just "Dunninger" in the 1953 biopic film *Houdini* starring Tony Curtis in the title role.

Dunninger appeared on radio starting in the 1920s, and had his own weekly show in 1943. In 1948, Dunninger and Paul Winchell were featured on *Floor Show* on NBC TV. Recorded via kinescope and replayed on WNBQ-TV in Chicago, Illinois, the 8:30–9 pm Central Time show on Thursdays was the station's first mid-week program. He was featured on television frequently in the 1950s and 1960s. During the ‘50s and ‘60s his name was used as the basis for two recurring comedic characters, "The Amazing Dillinger" played by Johnny Carson on *The Johnny Carson Show* in 1955; and "Gunninger the Mentalist" on a television show hosted by the comedian Soupy Sales. On the *I Love Lucy* episode "Ricky's European Booking" (Season 5, episode 10) after Fred Mertz accurately predicts Lucy's excited reaction to Ricky's new booking, he gets a big laugh when he brags to Ricky "Just call me Dunninger." In the *Columbo* episode, "Now You See Him", a stage magician (Jack Cassidy) refers to one of his illusions with, "It's an old stand by. Dunninger used it in his act."

He died of Parkinson's disease at his home in Cliffside Park, New Jersey.

## Works

Dunninger self-published many of his works, and others were published by inventor Hugo Gernsback. He also wrote articles in *Science and Invention*, *Mechanix Illustrated*, *Popular Mechanics*, *Fate*, *Atlantic Monthly*, and other magazines. Many of these articles were ghostwritten by Walter B. Gibson.

# MetCC

**MetCC**, also known as the **Met Contact Centre**, **Met Command and Control** or **MO12**, is a department of Met Operations within Greater London's Metropolitan Police Service. It is the communications centre responsible for receiving emergency and non-emergency contact within the Metropolitan Police, the deployment of police resources and the command and control of special operations. MetCC operates out of three centres located at Lambeth, Hendon and Bow.

## Historic operating model

Historically, each of the Met's Borough Operational Command Units (BOCUs) had its own control room, known internally as the 'CAD Room' (for Computer Aided Despatch) which dealt with incoming non-emergency calls and with despatching police to all calls in that area. In addition, the Information Room at New Scotland Yard received 999 calls which were sent to the CAD Room to be dealt with. In 2004, staff began to migrate on a borough-by-borough basis to MetCC, with Southwark being the first BOCU to move.

## The C3i programme

Led by DAC Ron McPherson and Dr Amanat Hussain, the C3i programme (Communication, Command, Control & Information) was the largest police transformation programme undertaken in the UK. Working with Chief Superintendent Stephen MacDonald, the Operational Command Unit (OCU) Commander for MetCC, the C3i programme modernised the command and control infrastructure to create seamless communications service for the Metropolitan Police Service to give the people of London a robust and resilient response policing service, getting the right people in the right place at the right time with the right information. The C3i Programme delivered optimised end to end Command and Control processes, new operational command unit (Central Communications Command), new Casualty Bureau Facility, largest Special Operations Room, Integrated Borough Operations Rooms and Telephone Investigation Bureau services.

## Command and control

Following completion of the C3i programme in late 2007, all Met communications are dealt with at three dedicated centres at Hendon, Bow and Lambeth, covering west; north and east; and south London respectively. Within each centre is a call receipt facility, called **First Contact** and a dispatching facility called **Dispatch**. In **First Contact** call takers sit in pods of twelve positions, each pod having its own supervisor. Dispatching pods have two or three dispatcher and one supervisor position. The size of the dispatching pod depends on how busy the borough that it supports is. Patrol officers are dispatched through the Airwave radios and by sending information direct to the MDT terminal in every police vehicle.

## Call handling

Calls are routed to a **First Contact** operator known as a Communications Officer. If the request or enquiry needs to be recorded by the police, a record is created on the **Contact Handling System (CHS)**, a tailored iteration of the AIT Portrait CRM product. If a police officer needs to be dispatched, the record is transferred to the Computer Aided Despatch (CAD) application, and a CAD record will be created.

### Graded response

Once the initial information has been inputted, the CAD will be allocated a grade of urgency. All calls are given one of four grades:

* **Immediate (I) grade** \- 'I' grade calls are calls where "the immediate presence of a police officer will have a significant impact on the outcome of an incident". This is typically categorised as where there is, or is likely to be, a danger to life, a serious threat of violence, serious damage to property or serious injury. The response time to a call of this urgency is 15 minutes.
* **Significant (S) grade** \- 'S' grade calls are calls where there is a "degree of importance or urgency associated with the initial police action, but an emergency response is not required". The response time to a call of this urgency is 60 minutes.
* **Extended (E) grade** \- 'E' grade calls are calls where a police attendance is required, but an emergency police response is not. The response time to a call of this urgency is 48 hours.
* **Referred (R) grade** \- 'R' grade calls are calls where a police attendance is not required. This typically means that the caller has been dealt with appropriately by the call handler.

Once the CAD report has been created, it is passed to the relevant **Dispatch** for the borough in question to decide what officers to deploy to it. The Supervisor (see below) can change the grading of the call if necessary, but only in exceptional circumstances.

## Staff structure

Central Communications Command is unique within the Metropolitan Police in its staff structure. It is both the largest Operational Command Unit in the MPS (and the United Kingdom) and is primarily staffed by highly trained police staff, instead of police officers. It’s also the most diverse command in the Met. MetCC retains some police officers working alongside Communications Officers and Supervisors and in roles identified as requiring a police officer in legislation.

### Duty Officers

Two ’‘Duty Officers’’ are concurrently on duty in each of the three Metcall centers, resulting in a combined total of six officers on duty across the entire network. The Duty Officers are responsible for decisions made within the centre and are also entrusted with ensuring the well-being of the staff under their care.

### CAD Supervisors

In each "pod," which typically spans two to four Operational Command Units, has two dedicated CAD Supervisors. Their responsibilities include overseeing Operators, taking charge of challenging situations, and making final decisions on incident closure. Additionally, a subset of Supervisors manages the First Contact process, ensuring accurate call handling. The Supervisor role is staffed by either a Sergeant or an experienced police staff Communications Supervisor.

Supervisors are sometimes erroneously labeled as "Controllers," a term associated with a historic role predating the C3i programme.

### CAD Operators (Communications Officers)

**CAD Operators** (also known as **Communications Officer**) make up the majority of operational MetCC staff.

#### Job role

CAD Operators perform two functions. In the First Contact (FC) role (also known as **call receipt**), they answer 999 and non-emergency telephone calls to police and enter the details of the call onto the MPS computer system. In the **Despatch** role they read the details of the calls as entered by First Contact, decide on the appropriate action to take, and, when police deployment is necessary, assign police officers using Airwave radios or by sending information directly to the MDT terminal of police vehicles. Most CAD Operators rotate between the two roles, but some are dedicated to one or the other.

The title "CAD Operator" originates from the Computer Assisted Despatch program that the MPS has used since 1984; while this system is still in use, it was superseded by the new **Contact Handling System** platform for First Contact.

#### Operator numbers

There are just over 2,000 CAD Operator positions within the MPS, and approximately 400-500 theoretically on duty at any given time.

# Nick Carter, Master Detective

***Nick Carter, Master Detective*** is a Mutual radio crime drama based on tales of the fictional private detective Nick Carter from Street & Smith's dime novels and pulp magazines. Nick Carter first came to radio as ***The Return of Nick Carter***, a reference to the character's pulp origins, but the title was soon changed to ***Nick Carter, Master Detective***. A veteran radio dramatist, Ferrin Fraser, wrote many of the scripts.

## Program history

With Lon Clark in the title role, the series commenced 11 April 1943, on Mutual, continuing in many different timeslots for well over a decade. Between October 1944 and April 1945, it was heard as a 30-minute program on Sunday afternoons at 3 pm, sponsored by Acme Paints and Lin-X, with a 15-minute serial airing four or five times a week in 1944 from April to September. In April 1945, the Sunday series moved to 6pm, continuing in that timeslot until June 1946, and it was also heard in 1946 on Tuesday from March to August.

Sponsored by Cudahy Packing and Old Dutch Cleanser and later Acme Products (makers of such home-improvement chemicals as Kem-Tone paints and Lin-X floor-cleaning waxes, a near-rival to the more-popular Johnson's Wax products heard on numerous NBC Radio shows at the same time), the series finally settled in on Sundays at 6:30 pm for broadcasts from August 18, 1946 to September 21, 1952. Libby Packing was the sponsor when the drama aired on Sundays at 6pm (1952–53). In the last two years of the long run (1953–55), the show was heard Sundays at 4:30 pm.

Jock MacGregor was the producer-director of scripts by Alfred Bester, Milton J. Kramer, David Kogan and others. Background music was supplied by organists Hank Sylvern, Lew White and George Wright. Walter B. Gibson, co-creator/writer of *The Shadow* pulp novels, was fired when he asked for a raise in 1946, and then became head writer for the Nick Carter radio series. Oddly enough, he never liked to write scripts for the radio version of The Shadow, though both characters were published by Street & Smith.

Patsy Bowen, Nick's assistant, was portrayed by Helen Choate until mid-1945; then Charlotte Manson stepped into the role. Nick and Patsy's friend was reporter Scubby Wilson (John Kane). Sgt. Mathison (Ed Latimer) was Nick's contact at the police department. The supporting cast included Raymond Edward Johnson, Bill Johnstone and Bryna Raeburn. Michael Fitzmaurice was the program's announcer. The series ended on September 25, 1955.

### Chick Carter, Boy Detective

***Chick Carter, Boy Detective*** was a serial adventure that aired weekday afternoons on Mutual. Chick Carter, the adopted son of Nick Carter, was played by Bill Lipton (1943–44) and Leon Janney (1944–45). The series aired from July 5, 1943 to July 6, 1945.

## Episodes

Episodes included "The Case of the Brick Oven Corpse" on July 3, 1949.

## On film

Walter Pidgeon played Nick Carter and Donald Meek played Bartholomew in three films produced by MGM: *Nick Carter, Master Detective* (1939), *Phantom Raiders* (1940), and *Sky Murder* (1940) Several films covering Carter's adventures were released during the silent era.

# Heinrich Danckelmann

**Heinrich Dankelmann** (2 August 1887 – 30 October 1947) was a Luftwaffe General who served as the third Military Commander for the Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia from 23 July to 20 October 1941. During his tenure as commander he oversaw numerous war crimes against the population, most famously hanging of five prisoners at Terazije Square. He was sentenced to death and executed for war crimes in Yugoslavia in 1947.

## World War II

To deal with the Uprising in Serbia and the failure of the Commissioner Government, Milan Aćimović, the leader of the CG, suggested that Danckelmann negotiate with Milan Nedić to form a new puppet government. After short negotiations on August 29, 1941, Nedić's government was formed. This was done with the blessing of Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich but at great risk for Danckelmann as Adolf Hitler, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and the German High Command were not informed.

During September, Danckelmann met with the Italian delegation in Belgrade and Nedić, at which time it became clear to him that Nedić couldn't handle the uprising. Danckelmann wanted Italian troops to help crush uprising, however Nedić insisted that only German troops could hold 'peace in Serbia'. Italians were hesitant to send them because hesitant to help, because of problems in their own occupied territories.

During Danckelmann's rule, the Serbian population was terrorized in an effort to put down the uprising, while Nedić's government existed as helper to the occupier. Five 'patriots' were hanged as an example on August 17. Twenty-one people were executed and 50 were arrested for the killing of a German postman between September 1 and 3 in Belgrade. 290 hostages were executed during on September 16–17. Similar crimes happened in Serbian interior too, such as killing 20 near Bogatić. Danckelmann also enlarged the jurisdiction of Banjica concentration camp to the entire area of occupied Serbia, whereas it had previously been seen as limited to Belgrade. Franz Böhme took over from Danckelmann as commander of occupied Serbia on September 19.

Danckelmann was sentenced to death and executed for war crimes in Yugoslavia in 1947.

**New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc.** (**NUMMI**) was an American automobile manufacturing company in Fremont, California, jointly owned by General Motors and Toyota that opened in 1984 and closed in April 2010. The plant is located in the East Industrial area of Fremont next to the Mud Slough between Interstate 880 and Interstate 680, the plant's peak production year was 2006, when it manufactured 428,633 vehicles.

After the plant was closed by its owners, the facility was sold to Tesla and reopened in October 2010, becoming known as the Tesla Fremont Factory.

## History

### Background

Before NUMMI, the site was the former Fremont Assembly that General Motors operated between 1962 and 1982. Employees at the Fremont plant were "considered the worst workforce in the automobile industry in the United States," according to a later recounting by a leader of the workers' own union, the United Auto Workers (UAW).

GM as a company was departmentalized (design, manufacturing) as per Henry Ford's division of labor, but without the necessary communication and collaboration between the departments. There was an adversarial relationship between workers and plant supervisors, with management not considering the employees' view on production, and quantity was preferred over quality. Like all American car plants, the production lines at Fremont seldom stopped, and when mistakes were made, cars continued down the line with the expectation that they would be fixed later. By the early 1980s, the adversarial relationship had deteriorated to the point where employees drank alcohol, smoked marijuana (at the time, an illegal activity), were frequently absent (enough so that the production line could not be started), and even committed petty acts of sabotage such as putting "Coke bottles inside the door panels, so they'd rattle and annoy the customer."

Attempts to discipline workers were often met with grievances or even strikes, putting the plant into near-continuous chaos. By 1982, GM had had enough and closed Fremont Assembly and laid off its thousands of workers.

### Transforming Fremont Assembly into NUMMI

At about the same time, GM was struggling to profitably build high-quality and fuel-efficient small cars that consumers demanded after the energy crisis of the 1970s. Consumers started turning to foreign automakers for these vehicles, prompting the U.S. Congress to consider import restrictions to protect the domestic auto industry. That led GM and Toyota to team up and create New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. (NUMMI), a joint venture to manufacture vehicles to be sold under both brands.

GM saw the joint venture as a way to get access to quality small cars and an opportunity to learn about the Toyota Production System and The Toyota Way, a series of lean manufacturing and management philosophies that had made the company a leader in the automotive manufacturing and production industry. For Toyota, the factory gave the company its first manufacturing base in North America allowing it to avoid tariffs on imported vehicles and saw GM as a partner that could show them how to navigate the American labor environment, particularly relations with the United Auto Workers union.

The companies made the unusual choice to remake the troubled Fremont Assembly into the new NUMMI plant. The leadership of the UAW union insisted on re-hiring the same union leadership that had overseen GM's worst workforce. GM was against it, but Toyota agreed, believing that their system could turn things around. However, Toyota insisted that the plant would need to operate differently and old seniority rules would not apply. The workers hated the proposed changes, but desperately needed jobs. Ultimately, over 85% of NUMMI's initial workforce were the workers laid off at Fremont Assembly in 1982. GM would also assign 16 managers to the plant and Toyota sent 30 managers and production coordinators from Japan, including the CEO, Tatsuro Toyoda, part of the company's founding family.

Ahead of the reopening of the plant, Toyota sent many of the workers to Toyota's Takaoka plant in Japan to learn the Toyota Production System and actually work for a few days on the assembly line. Workers who made the transition identified the emphasis on quality and teamwork by Toyota management as what motivated a change in work ethic. Among the cultural changes were the same uniform, parking and cafeterias for all levels of employment in order to promote a team concept, and a no-layoff policy. Built-in process quality and employee suggestion programs for continual improvement were other changes. Consensus decision-making reached management level, in contrast with the old departmentalization.

By December 1984 (two years after the closure of Fremont Assembly), NUMMI's first car, a yellow Chevrolet Nova, rolled off the assembly line. The plant started producing the Toyota Corolla in September 1986. Almost right away, the NUMMI factory was producing cars at the same speed as the Japanese factories and Corollas produced at NUMMI were judged to be equal in quality to those produced in Japan with a similar number of defects per 100 vehicles.

In 1990, for the 1991 model year, Toyota started building the Toyota Hilux (also known as the Toyota Pickup) at NUMMI, allowing the company to completely avoid the chicken tax, a 25 percent tariff on light trucks imposed in 1964. Previously, the company had avoided a large portion of the tariff by importing the truck as an incomplete chassis cab (which included the entire truck, less the truck bed) which only faced a 4% tariff. Once in the United States, Toyota Auto Body California (TABC) would produce the truck beds and attach them to the trucks. TABC was the first manufacturing investment in the U.S. for Toyota. This tariff loophole was closed in 1980.

NUMMI did face some financial challenges, with cars costing more to build than at other GM plants and only operating at 58.6% capacity by 1988. The plant had not reached break-even by 1991.

In January 1995, NUMMI began producing the Toyota Tacoma, a pickup truck designed exclusively for the North American market.

Up to May 2010, NUMMI built an average of 6,000 vehicles a week, or nearly eight million cars and trucks since opening in 1984. In 1997, NUMMI produced 357,809 cars and trucks. Production reached its annual peak of 428,633 units in 2006.

### The end of the joint venture

Toyota took the lessons it learned from NUMMI and went on to establish the wholly-owned Toyota Motor Manufacturing USA (later renamed Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky) and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada plants in 1986, and by 2009 the company was operating a dozen manufacturing facilities in North America. However, NUMMI remained Toyota's only unionized plant in the United States.

GM executives, particularly CEO John F. Smith Jr., attempted to spread the Toyota Production System to other assembly plants, but it proved largely unsuccessful. Despite having a front row seat to learn about the production system, by 1998 (15 years later) GM had still not been able to implement lean manufacturing in the rest of the United States, though GM managers trained at NUMMI were successful in introducing the approach to its unionized factories in Brazil.

By 2009, GM was in serious financial trouble and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization. In April the company confirmed its commitment to NUMMI and in June announced that it was scrapping the Pontiac brand which would end production of the Corolla-derived Pontiac Vibe at NUMMI by August 2009. That triggered several months of discussions between the automakers, trying to find products that could be produced at the factory for both companies, with Toyota even offering to build a version of its Prius hybrid for GM at the factory.

Fremont Mayor Bob Wasserman, city officials and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger lobbied the automakers to find a product and keep NUMMI open. State officials crafted sales tax exemption on new factory equipment to preserve NUMMI. A regional committee was formed in February 2010 to investigate the closure of the plant, and the facility was appraised while operating.

The talks ultimately failed and in June 2009 the GM announced that it would pull out of NUMMI. On August 27, 2009, Toyota announced that it would also discontinue production at NUMMI by March 2010, marking the first time the company had ever closed a factory.

In November 2009 call with autoworkers Toyota's head of U.S. sales said that though it was a difficult decision to shut down the plant, "the economics of having a plant in California so far away from the supplier lines" in the Midwest "just doesn't make business sense" for Toyota. Autoworkers prepared for the shut down by refreshing skills and planning for career transitions. In March 2010, 90% of the workers at the plant approved a $281 million severance package from Toyota that had been negotiated by the UAW, averaging $54,000 to the plant's 4,700 employees.

Production of the Corolla in North America was shifted to Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada until the new Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi assembly plant could open in October 2011. Production of the Tacoma had already partially shifted to Toyota Motor Manufacturing de Baja California in 2004, and the remaining work shifted to Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas.

At 9:40am on April 1, 2010, the plant produced its last car, a red Toyota Corolla. NUMMI sold off equipment at an auction, with robots and tooling going to Toyota's plants in Kentucky, Texas and Mississippi. NUMMI sold some equipment to Tesla for $15 million.

### Reuse of the factory

Ahead of the closure of NUMMI, several possible uses for the facility were proposed.

In January 2010, the land was considered for a new stadium for the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball. It is close to the proposed site of Cisco Field, which was never formally approved. On March 10, 2010, Aurica Motors announced that it intended to raise investment capital and garner federal economic stimulus funds to help retrain the workers and retool the facility for production of electric vehicles. Both proposals went nowhere.

On May 20, 2010, Tesla Motors announced that it would purchase most (210 of 370 acres) of the former NUMMI site from Toyota for $42 million, significantly under market value. As part of the agreement, Toyota would also purchase $50 million of common stock when Tesla held its IPO the next month. In exchange, Tesla agreed to partner with Toyota on the "development of electric vehicles, parts, and production system and engineering support." The two companies would later end their partnership in 2017.

The plant, renamed the Tesla Fremont Factory, produces the Model S, Model X, Model 3, and Model Y vehicles. As of 2023, the plant employs 22,000 people, far greater than the 5,500 employees of NUMMI, and produced nearly 560,000 vehicles, 30 percent more than the maximum output of NUMMI.

## Models produced

During its time in operation, the NUMMI joint venture factory produced the following models (model years):

37°29′41″N 121°56′41″W / 37.49472°N 121.94472°W / 37.49472; -121.94472

title: Metropolitan Borough of Kensington

# Metropolitan Borough of Kensington

The **Metropolitan Borough of Kensington** was a metropolitan borough in the County of London from 1900 to 1965, which since 1901 was known as the **Royal Borough of Kensington**, following the death of Queen Victoria, in accordance with her wishes.

## History

It bordered Chelsea, Fulham, Hammersmith, Paddington, and Westminster.

It included Kensington, South Kensington, Earls Court, Notting Hill, Brompton and part of Kensal Green.

In 1901 it was granted the status of a royal borough, and therefore from then was also known as the Royal Borough of Kensington. The status was granted after the death of Queen Victoria, in accordance with her wish (she was born at Kensington Palace in the borough).

In 1965 it was amalgamated with the Metropolitan Borough of Chelsea to form the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

A number of street signs in the area still bear the designation "Royal Borough of Kensington".

The old Town Hall was demolished "in controversial circumstances" involving an impending conservation order in June 1982.

## Coat of arms

The coat of arms is derived from those of the former Lords of the Manor, and that of the parish church, which is dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

## Population and area

The Kensington borough covered 2,291 acres (9.3 km2) once part of Kensal New Town (a detached part of Chelsea before 1901) became incorporated. The population of Kensington recorded in the Census, which excludes Kensal New Town before 1901, was:

**Kensington Vestry 1801–1899**

| Year | 1801 | 1811 | 1821 | 1831 | 1841 | 1851 | 1861 | 1871 | 1881 | 1891 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Population | 8,556 | 10,886 | 14,428 | 20,902 | 26,834 | 44,053 | 70,108 | 120,299 | 163,151 | 166,308 |

**Metropolitan Borough 1900–1961**

| Year | 1901 | 1911 | 1921 | 1931 | 1941 | 1951 | 1961 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Population | 176,628 | 172,317 | 175,859 | 180,677 |  | 168,160 | 171,272 |

## Politics

Under the Metropolis Management Act 1855 any parish that exceeded 2,000 ratepayers was to be divided into wards; however the parish of St Mary Abbots Kensington had already been divided into three wards by the Kensington Improvement Act 1851 (14 & 15 Vict. c. cxvi). So the incorporated vestry inherited these wards and assigned vestrymen to them: The Holy Trinity Brompton (27), St John's Notting Hill & St James' Norland (27) and St Mary Abbots (30).

In 1894 as its population had increased the incorporated vestry was re-divided into eight wards (electing vestrymen): Golborne (18), Norland (15), Pembridge (15), Holland (15), Earl's Court (12), Queen's Gate (15), Redcliffe (15) and Brompton (15).

The metropolitan borough was divided into nine wards for elections: Brompton, Earl's Court, Golborne, Holland, Norland, Pembridge, Queen's Gate, Redcliffe and St Charles.

### Borough council

### Parliament constituency

For elections to Parliament, the borough was divided into two constituencies:

In 1950 the borough's representation was increased to two and a half seats, when part of it was merged with Chelsea:

In 2010, the constituencies of Kensington North and South were merged to create a single constituency once again and Chelsea was branched off to create a new constituency.
