## History of Radio Bechuanaland

The first radio signals were received in Bechuanaland in 1927. On 18 May 1934, a Bechuanaland Protectorate Resident Commissioner demanded the extension of the facilities to other parts of the colony.

Radio Bechuanaland started its 24-hour **(24/7)** broadcast in 1965 as a primary broadcaster in Botswana. Radio Bechuanaland was developed with the aid of the South African citizen who was also the former police radio officer during that time by the name Peter Nel. Radio Bechuanaland served the nationals and was transmitted at an output of 500 watts. The station came on air at 3356 kHz. Radio Bechuanaland started operating in a police station located in a small town called Lobatse. The main focus of this station was to bring people closer to information about their small country (arts, culture and entertainment).
**1968**
Radio Bechuanaland became part of the Ministry of home affairs department Botswana at the president's office which later formed the department called Information services.

During Apartheid rule in South Africa, Radio Botswana's programming was received in many Setswana-speaking areas of the country.

**1978**
Radio Bechuanaland officially joined the information and broadcasting services Botswana

# Mentryville, California

**Mentryville** was an oil drilling town in the Santa Susana Mountains in Los Angeles County, California, USA. It was started by **Charles Alexander Mentry** in the 1870s around the newly discovered oil reserves in that area. The first oil strike was on September 26, 1876. The town is located at the terminus of Pico Canyon Road, four miles west of the Lyons Avenue exit from I-5 in Santa Clarita. It is currently a part of Stevenson Ranch.

## History

Charles Alexander Mentry was born in France on March 27, 1847. In November, 1873 moved to San Francisco with his father, Peter Mentry. He moved to San Bernardino County to work at the Holcomb Valley Gold Mining Company. He moved back to San Francisco in 1874 for one year as a stock broker. In 1875 move to Grapevine Canyon and worked for Los Angeles Oil Company, drilling an oil well. He then went to work with J.G. Baker and D.C. Scott the Pico Oil claim. Mentry died in 1900 in Newhall. D. G. Scofield Mentry and financing oil well of the Pico Canyon Oilfield. In 1875 Mentry partnered with Sanford Lyon, Henry Clay Wiley and Los Angeles lawman William Jenkins.

"Pico Number 4", a short distance up the canyon from Mentryville, was the first commercially successful oil strike in California , and the longest running well on record , finally being capped in 1990. The Pico Canyon oil field proved to be the richest in the state's history to that time, and Mentryville became a boomtown from 1876 to 1900. The town was named after the superintendent who was in charge of the oil field, Charles Alexander Mentry. Mentry lived in the town until his death in 1900 and built the 13-room mansion that still stands there. In 1900, the *Los Angeles Times* described Mentryville as "an ideal community of modest homes," where families were reared and a schoolhouse, social hall, bakery, boarding houses, bunkhouses, blacksmith shop and machine shop were built. There was also a gas-lighted tennis court, croquet fields, and a main road paved with local asphalt. One thing the town lacked was a bar. Mentry had reportedly "imbued the town with his puritanism as well as his name," prohibiting drinking and the use of foul language. When Mentry died, the entire town of more than 200 people, except for three individuals left behind in Mentryville, traveled to Los Angeles for his funeral, bringing with them a large floral arrangement in the shape of an oil derrick.

Mentryville was eventually abandoned, partially because the amount of oil slowed over time, and partially because of changes to the oil industry. During the 1930s, most of Mentryville's remaining residents left, many tearing down their houses board by board and nail by nail, and taking it all with them. By 1962, Mentryville had become a ghost town, with only a caretaker family living in Mentry's old 13-room house. A visitor to the camp that year reported that "rusted oil equipment cluttered the canyon," toppled derricks lay rotting, and the cemetery was "choked with weeds, hidden and forgotten."

## Preservation

The last caretaker of Mentryville was Francis "Frenchy" Lagasse, who moved into the old Mentry mansion with his wife and children in 1966. The property's owner, Standard Oil of California, wanted to raze the remnants of the ghost town, but Lagasse persuaded the company to allow him to restore the town. With help from the Santa Clarita Historical Society, Lagasse eventually began offering tours of Mentryville. Lagasse was forced to leave Mentryville after the 1994 Northridge earthquake damaged the house, and in 1995, Chevron (which had become the owner upon its acquisition of Standard Oil of California in 1977) donated the Mentryville site and the surrounding 800 acres (3.2 km2) in Pico Canyon to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. A group called the Friends of Mentryville was organized to restore the buildings and open the old town as a historic park with docent-led tours.

The site is now registered as California Historical Landmark #516-2.

A fire nearly destroyed Mentryville's historic structures in 2003, and a storm in 2004 washed out the visitors' parking lot and also flooded the historic buildings.

## Film and television productions

Mentryville and Pico Canyon have become popular shooting locations. They were used in motion pictures, including Steven Spielberg's "The Color Purple" and "Walking Tall Part 2", and in television series, including "The X-Files", "The A-Team", "Murder, She Wrote", and "Highway to Heaven.".

Mentryville is the subject of "Ghost Adventures" Season 26 Episode 5.

## California Historical Landmark Marker

California Historical Landmark Marker No. 516–2 at the site reads:

> NO. 516-2 MENTRYVILLE – Named after pioneer oil developer Charles Alexander Mentry, who in 1876 drilled the first successful oil well in California. His restored home and barn and Felton School remain here where the Star Oil Company, one of the predecessors of Standard Oil of California, was born.

Nearby is state marker 516 for Well, CSO 4, the marker reads:

> NO. 516 WELL, CSO 4 (PICO 4) – On this site stands CSO-4 (Pico No. 4), California's first commercially productive well. It was spudded in early 1876 under direction of Demetrious G. Scofield who later became the first president of Standard Oil Company of California, and was completed at a depth of 300 feet on September 26, 1876, for an initial flow of 30 barrels of oil a day. Later that year, after the well was deepened to 600 feet with what was perhaps the first steam rig employed in oil well drilling in California, it produced at a rate of 150 barrels a day – it is still producing after 77 years (1953). The success of this well prompted formation of the Pacific Coast Oil Company, a predecessor of Standard Oil Company of California, and led to the construction of the state's first refinery nearby. It was not only the discovery well of the Newhall Field, but was a powerful stimulus to the subsequent development of the California petroleum industry.

# New Zealand Army Ordnance Department

The **New Zealand Army Ordnance Department** (NZAOD) was the organisation of commissioned officers who were responsible for the supply, maintenance and repair of equipment, small arms and all stores required for the Defence Force from 1917 to 1923.

## Establishment

Gazetted by regulations published on 1 February 1917, the NZAOD was established as part of the permanent staff of the Defence Forces of New Zealand, replacing the New Zealand Defence Stores Department, absorbing its existing staff and also those handling military equipment and stores in the districts and training camps. Previously the Defence Stores Department had been under the control of the Public Service Commission. The establishment of the new Ordnance organisations, ended the anomaly of having civilians in the army who are really outside it, and were not subject to military discipline and control, and placed staff who had worn civilian clothes into uniform and under army discipline.

## Organisation

The Gazetted regulations that established the NZAOD, laid out the organisation of the department, the same Gazette also detailed the establishment of the New Zealand Army Ordnance Corps, which was a separate organisation made up of Warrant Officers, Non Commissioned Officers, soldiers and civilians.

The NZAOD was to consist of:

* Directing Staff:
    + Director of Equipment and Ordnance Stores
    + Assistant Director of Equipment and Ordnance Stores
    + Four Ordnance officers attached to district commands
    + Two Ordnance officers of the expeditionary force camps
* Executive staff:
    + Three accounting officers at/headquarters, graded as Ordnance officers, fourth class.
* Inspectorate Staff:
    + The Inspector of Ordnance Machinery, graded as Ordnance officer, third class
    + The Inspector, engineer, electric light and defence vessels stores, graded as Ordnance officer, third class.

Officers of the Department rank as follows:

* + Ordnance officer – First class; colonel, lieutenant Colonel, or Major.
    + Ordnance officer – Second class: Major or Captain.
    + Ordnance officer – Third class: Captain.
    + Ordnance officer – Fourth class: Lieutenant.

## Foundation Staff

Approved with effect 1 April 1917, the foundation staff of the NZAOD and the NZAOC on its formation were:

* Directing Staff
    + Honorary Major T. M'Cristell – Director of Equipment and Ordnance stores, graded Ordnance Officer, Ist class, with the rank of Major
    + Temporary Captain T. J. King – Assiatant Director of Equipment and Ordnance Stores to be asst, graded Ordnance Officer, 2nd class,; with the rank of Captain
    + Honorary Captain W.T Beck DS0 – Ordnance Officer Auckland, graded as Ordnance Officer, 4th class, with the rank of lieutenant, but retained the rank of Captain (temp) whilst performing the duties' of ordnance officer, 3rd class
    + Honorary Captain A.R.C White – Ordnance Officer Christchurch, graded as Ordnance Officer, 3rd class, with the rank of captain
    + Honorary Captain O.F. M'Guigan – Ordnance Officer Dunedin, graded as Ordnance Officer, 4th class, but retained the rank of Captain (temp) whilst performing the duties' of ordnance officer, 3rd class
    + Honorary Lieutenant F.E Ford – Ordnance Officer Wellington, graded as Ordnance Officer, 3rd class, with the rank, of captain
    + Honorary Lieutenant L.F M'Nair – graded as Ordnance Officer, 4th class, with the rank of lieutenant
    + Honorary Lieutenant A.W Baldwin – graded as Ordnance Officer, 4th class, with the rank of lieutenant.
* Inspectorial Staff
    + Honorary Captain and Quartermaster B.G.V Parker – Inspector of Ordnance Machinery, graded as ordnance officer, 3rd class, with the rank of captain
    + Honorary Lieutenant and Quartermaster G.J. Parrell – Inspector Engineer, Electrical light and Defence Vessels Stores, graded as ordnance officer 3rd class, with the rank of captain

## Operations

The NZAOD in conjunction with the NZAOC in New Zealand and the New Zealand Expeditionary Force NZAOC, would continue to support New Zealand's war effort up to the end of the war, and then play a major role in the demobilisation of New Zealand's Forces, and the return, inspection, repair and redistribution of equipment. On 14 February 1920 Lieutenant Colonel H. E. Pilkington, was appointed Staff Officer for the Ordnance Services effectively replacing McCristell as the Director of Equipment and Ordnance Stores, with the new title Director of Ordnance Stores. As the NZEF demobilised, the NZAOD absorbed many officers who had served with the NZEF NZAOC providing much operation experience which became invaluable as both the NZAOD and NZAOC consolidated their position and started to centralise themselves as an organisation in Trentham, Burnham and Auckland.

## Amalgamation

On 3 July 1923, the New Zealand Army Ordnance Department was amalgamated with the New Zealand Army Ordnance Corps, resulting in one Ordnance organisation for the New Zealand Army.

**William Henry Forney** (November 9, 1823 – January 16, 1894) was an Alabama legislator, a brigadier general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War and U.S. Representative from Alabama from March 4, 1875 to March 3, 1893.

## Early life

Forney was born in Lincolnton, North Carolina, on November 9, 1823. He moved with his parents to Alabama in 1835. He was the grandson of Peter Forney and nephew of David M. Forney. He was the older brother of Confederate Major General John Horace Forney, first cousin of Confederate Brigadier General Robert Daniel Johnston and second cousin of Confederate Major Generals Robert F. Hoke and Stephen Dodson Ramseur. Forney pursued an education in classical studies, and graduated from the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa in 1844.

He served in the Mexican War as a first lieutenant in the First Regiment of Alabama Volunteers. Upon returning from the War, Forney studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1848 when he commenced practice in Jacksonville, Alabama. Forney served as a Trustee of the University of Alabama from 1851-1860. In 1859 and 1860, Forney served as a member of the Alabama House of Representatives.

## Civil War

During the Civil War Forney entered the Confederate States Army in 1861 as a captain in the 10th Regiment Alabama Infantry, and was successively promoted to major on December 20, 1861, lieutenant colonel on March 17, 1862, and colonel on June 27, 1862. He was wounded in the leg at the Battle of Dranesville, Virginia, December 20, 1861. He was wounded in the right arm and captured at the Battle of Williamsburg on June 27, 1862. He was exchanged on August 31, 1862. He was wounded in the leg at the Battle of Salem Church on May 3, 1863.

He was left on the field at Gettysburg with multiple wounds, captured and remained a Union prisoner of war for more than a year from July 5, 1863 to August 4, 1864. Following his parole, on August 21, 1864, he was given command of a brigade in Major General William Mahone's division. Forney was promoted to brigadier general on February 15, 1865. He served as a brigade commander in Mahone's Division until the surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865. He was pardoned on July 11, 1866.

## Aftermath: Post-War career

After the War, Forney served as a member of the State senate in 1865 and 1866. He was elected as a Democrat to the Forty-fourth and to the eight succeeding Congresses (March 4, 1875 – March 3, 1893). He served as chairman of the Committee on Expenditures in the Department of the Treasury (Forty-sixth Congress). He was not a candidate for renomination in 1892.

He was appointed by President Grover Cleveland to be a member of the Gettysburg Battlefield Commission and served until his death. Forney died in Jacksonville, Alabama, January 16, 1894 and was interred in City Cemetery, Jacksonville.

title: WWA World Welterweight Championship

abstract: The WWA World Welterweight Championship is a Mexican professional wrestling championship promoted by the Mexican Lucha Libre wrestling based promotion World Wrestling Association (WWA) since 1987. The official definition of the Welterweight weight class in Mexico is between 70 kg (150 lb) and 77 kg (170 lb), but is not always strictly enforced. Because Lucha Libre emphasizes the lower weight classes, this division is considered more important than the normally more prestigious heavyweight division of a promotion. As it was a professional wrestling championship, the championship was not won not by actual competition, but by a scripted ending to a match determined by the bookers and match makers. On occasion the promotion declares a championship vacant, which means there is no champion at that point in time. This can either be due to a storyline, or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship, or leaving the company. It was first won by Negro Casas in 1987 and had been defended not only in Mexico but Europe, Japan and the United States as well. The title was held by many of the top cruiserweight wrestlers of the 1990s including Heavy Metal, Psicosis, Juventud Guerrera, Rey Misterio, Jr. and Eddie Guerrero. El Hijo del Santo holds the record for most title reigns with ten reigns. The current champion is El Hijo de Rey Misterio II.

# God's Own Drunk

"**God's Own Drunk**" is a monologue by Lord Buckley that musicians have since adapted into different types of songs; most notably, Jimmy Buffett, who first recorded his rendition for *Living and Dying in ¾ Time* and has since released a digital download single of a live performance in 2011. Buffett's version was a concert staple and even regarded as his theme before "Margaritaville"'s popularity, until he was forced to stop playing it after being sued by Buckley's son, Dick Buckley Jr., for copyright infringement.

## Content

Buckley's monologue tells a story in the first-person of a teetotaler who finds himself taking care of his brother-in-law's still, eventually giving in to his temptation and drinking its whiskey. In the midst of his bender, he crosses paths with a bear, who, from the narrator's drunken perspective, is a male Kodiak about 16 feet tall. The narrator's fearlessness interests the bear, and out of mutual curiosity, the narrator gives the bear some whiskey and names him "Buddy". The two drink the night away, and the narrator awakens to find that both Buddy and the still are gone, implying that the bear liked the whiskey so much that he stole the still.

## Buffett's cover

Although Buffett did not officially record his rendition until 1974, he had been performing it since 1966 after two friends played him Buckley's 1959 Hollywood recording of *Lord Buckley in Concert*. Buffett and his friends were living in New Orleans at the time and were playing at a bar where the performers were required to do a rendition of Buckley's "God's Own Drunk". Buffett's version has only slight variations as in the bear is about 19 feet (Buffett) not 16 feet (Buckley) tall.

## Lawsuit

In the *Names and Faces* section in newspapers all over the country on August 30, 1983, the following story ran:

> Singer Jimmy Buffett, known for hits like "Margaritaville" and "Havana Daydreaming," has been named in an $11-million suit alleging that one of his songs was taken from a dramatic monologue by the late Richard (Lord) Buckley, an entertainer during the 1930s and 1950s. Buckley's son, Dick Buckley Jr., charged in a suit filed last Thursday in US District Court in Los Angeles that Buffett infringed on his father's copyright. Buckley charged that Buffett took parts of his father's monologue from *A Tribute to Buckley* and claimed it as his work in "God's Own Drunk."

### The Lawyer and the Asshole

Though few details of the lawsuit are known, it inspired a song titled "The Lawyer and the Asshole". Because "God's Own Drunk" was a concert staple before the lawsuit, the song's sudden absence from the setlist was a disappointment to fans, so Buffett played "The Lawyer and the Asshole" instead, to explain why "God's Own Drunk" couldn't and wouldn't be performed.

## Live performances

Buffett had been performing "God's Own Drunk" on an occasional basis since learning it in 1966, but the song became a concert staple after its recording in 1974 and remained a standard until 1978, to which he only performed it on a frequent basis because it did not mesh well with the softer sound he was promoting with *Son of a Son of a Sailor*. A live version was released on *You Had to Be There*, capturing the crowd's demand for its performance and its acclaim when Buffett finally played it after teasing some fans before the preceding song "Grapefruit—Juicy Fruit". By 1983, when Dick Buckley Jr. sued Buffett for copyright infringement, the song was dropped completely.

When Buffett was obligated to stop performing it during the lawsuit, he instead occasionally played "The Lawyer and the Asshole" as a substitute, with the earliest known performance being in Telluride, Colorado on August 27, 1983, and the last being November 16, 1986, in Gainesville, Florida. Sometimes, in lieu of playing "God's Own Drunk" due to the litigation, he would heave a boxful of little "Buddy Bears" to the audience or did trivia about the song, where he would ask the questions and the crowd would shout the answer.

The outcome of the court case is unknown, but Buffett had brought "God's Own Drunk" back to the setlist in 1988 and since then has only played it rarely. Aside from the *You Had to Be There* performance, other notable live versions are: at the Palladium on March 14, 1980 (captured on *Ringling Ringling*); in George, Washington, on August 22, 1992, with several references to the Gorge Amphitheatre; at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Illinois on July 23, 2011, using the Chicago Bears as a plot device for the Kodiak bear in the song, going on to release this performance as a single; and its most recent performance at the Riverbend Music Theater on June 21, 2016.

On September 6, 2008, Buffett moved his 8:00 pm show in Mansfield, Massachusetts, at the Comcast Center to 3:00 pm because Hurricane Hanna was expected to make landfall in Massachusetts later that night. After singing "Why Don't We Get Drunk", Buffett surprised the Coral Reefer Band by waving them off stage to perform solo, in which he played a 10-minute rendition of "God's Own Drunk" while the rest of the band stood to the side of the stage and watched. This was done to extend the show as long as possible before the hurricane arrived, resulting in a three-hour performance of 29 songs.

## Pop-culture references

In Buffett's studio take, one of the types of drunks listed off is "Reggie Younging", a reference to guitarist Reggie Young.

In the song "Semi-True Story" from *Beach House on the Moon*, Buffett sings about the day in 1974 when he recorded "God's Own Drunk".

Mike Harding does a faithful rendition of Lord Buckley's monologue, using it as the title track of his 1989 album.

# Omer Demeuldre

*Sous lieutenant* **Omer Paul Demeuldre** (8 March 18923 May 1918) *Légion d'honneur*, *Médaille militaire*, *Croix de Guerre*, Mentioned in Dispatches was a World War I French flying ace credited with 13 aerial victories.

## Early life

Omer Paul Demeuldre was born on 8 March 1892 in Cambrai, France.

## World War I

Demeuldre joined the French military in 1912. At the start of World War I, he was an aviation mechanic. He became an observer with Escadrille MF63, and on 7 September 1915, working the guns on a Maurice Farman, he scored his first victory. After two Mentions in Despatches, he was sent to pilot's training. He received Pilot's Brevet No. 4403 on 2 October 1916. Upon his return to his old unit as a pilot, he achieved his second win on 23 May 1917. In October 1917, he was reassigned to fly a Spad fighter with Escadrille 84. On the 30th of the month, he tallied his third triumph, which won him the Médaille militaire. Demeuldre racked three more wins in December, ending the year an ace with six victories.

Demeuldre began 1918 with a victory on 3 January. He was commissioned as Sous Lieutenant on the 25th. On 3 February, he scored twice; he scored three times more in March. His final victory came on 14 April 1918, when he sent a German two-seater reconnaissance craft crashing down over Éplessier.

## Death in action

On 3 May 1918, Omer Paul Demeuldre lost his final fight while shooting it out with a German two-seater. He was posthumously awarded the *Légion d'honneur* to add to the *Médaille militaire* and *Croix de Guerre* with seven palmes and two etoiles.

## Honors and awards

Text of award of **Médaille militaire**

# Giengen

**Giengen** (German pronunciation: \[ˈɡɪŋən\] ; full name: **Giengen an der Brenz**; Swabian: *Gẽänge*) is a former Free Imperial City in eastern Baden-Württemberg near the border with Bavaria in southern Germany. The town is located in the district of Heidenheim at the eastern edge of the Swabian Alb, about 30 kilometers northeast of Ulm on the Brenz River.

Giengen is the hometown of the Margarete Steiff corporation, who invented the teddy bear.

Positioned on the Nuremberg-Ulm-Constance route, one of the main feeder routes of the Compostella Trail, Giengen is visited each year by an increasing number of walking pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostella.

## History

The first documentary evidence of the town was contained in a chronicle of the monastery of Peterhausen that reported on the death in battle in 1078 of margrave Diepold II von Vohburg, lord of Giengen. In 1147, Adele, daughter of Diepold III, was married to Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa but was divorced after a few years due to childlessness. Frederick Barbarossa was an occasional visitor and resident and it was probably during his stay in 1171 that he granted market rights and the unicorn coat of arms to the town. Still referred to as a villa (village) in a document dated 1216, Giengen had seemingly attained city (civitas) status by 1252.

### Free Imperial City (1395–1803)

The city was pawned more than once by successive emperors, and the counts of Württemberg and of Oettingen both vied for control over the city. It was only in 1395 that Giengen’s status as a Free Imperial City, independent of any lord but the Emperor, was finally acknowledged by all. In 1481, the city was exempted from the jurisdiction of any outside court. Giengen, which has been a member of leagues of Swabian Free cities since the late 14th Century, joined the powerful Swabian League when it was set up in 1488. The city took part in the League’s successful war against Württemberg in 1519.

According to the celebrated Reichsmatrikel of 1521 - the document that laid down the military and monetary obligations for each of the Imperial Estates – Giengen was obligated to contribute 2 horsemen, 13 foot soldiers and 60 gulden. That contribution ranked near the bottom on the list of the 85 Free Imperial Cities then in existence, reflecting the small size and modest resources of the city (by comparison, the contribution of nearby Ulm was set at 29, 120 and 600 respectively). Yet, Giengen was to be one of the 50 Free Imperial Cities that were to survive the Thirty Years' War and the Peace of Westphalia and continue as quasi-sovereign entities until 1802-03.

#### Protestant Reformation

Like almost all the other Imperial Cities, Giengen was profoundly transformed by the Protestant Reformation, which made its way into the city-states before it did into the secular and ecclesiastical principalities of the Empire.

Even before the advent of the Reformation, there had been much discontent against the pervasive influence of the Church, particularly in the Free Imperial Cities that, while largely independent politically, had to contend with the control of the Church in religious matters such as tithes, ecclesiastical tribunals, etc., not counting the fact that religious property and the clergy, both secular and regular, were largely exempted from taxation and civic control. Therefore, a final break with Rome and the local bishop—in the case of Giengen, the Bishop of Augsburg—meant the end of a severe irritant and a significant increase in the political reach of the new Protestant cities and princes who, from then on, would have full control over the reformed clergy, tithes and religious regulations and foundations.

One Kaspar Pfeiffelmann was the first Protestant preacher to preach in Giengen, more specifically at the hospital church in 1528. In 1531, after having been repeatedly requested by local burghers to hire a permanent Evangelical (Lutheran) preacher, the Town Council finally hired preacher and reformer Martin Rauber. The City officially adopted the new Lutheran doctrine in 1537. Later that year, the famous reformer and theologian Martin Bucer from Strasburg visited Giengen. Catholic services were prohibited in 1556 and soon after, following the general trend already well underway in the other Free Cities, Giengen abandoned its conversion policy that relied on quiet persuasion and decreed that all Nonconformists such as the Anabaptists – deemed too radical and a threat to social order and religious peace – had to leave the city if they refused to convert to Lutheranism.

The city suffered heavily during the Thirty Years' War and was looted and ransomed repeatedly by Swedish, Imperial/Spanish and French troops and in 1634 a devastating fire destroyed much of the city. The last soldiers billeted in the city left in August 1650, more than a year after the signing of the Peace of Westphalia. Life very slowly went back to normal and money was found to rebuild the schools and churches. The visiting Duke of Württemberg was wined and dined during a visit in 1655: the tiny independent city-state was entirely surrounded by Württemberg territory and good relations with the dukes were important. The population of Giengen, which has stood at close to 2000 on the eve of the War in 1618, was back to 1200 in 1651 and to 1700 in 1671. From the year of the fire to 1672, some 206 individuals - 95 from the area, 20 from Ulm, 29 from Bavaria and 62 from the rest of the Empire - have purchased Giengen's citizenship (*Bürgerrecht*). A new tax code adopted by the Town Council in 1677 caused considerable popular discontent and following a complaint to the Aulic Council, an imperial commission composed of the count of Oëttingen and members of the Town Council of Ulm, Giengen's powerful neighbor to the south, ruled that the guilds should be involved in the decision process on taxation. The rule was to remain in force until Giengen ceased to be a Free Imperial City in 1802.

#### Eighteenth century

The 18th century was somewhat uneventful for Giengen and the city was relatively spared by the War of the Spanish Succession and the other wars of the century. Not much happened in the sleepy city: the belfry of St. Georg’s church’s was rebuilt after a fire and a new baptismal font was donated by a prominent citizen; an organ-making shop opened business; one Jakob Osswald and his daughter are beheaded for “incestua cum filia”. A 1734 survey showed that there were "130 horses, 150 heads of cattle, many pigs and 1,000 sheep" in the tiny Free Imperial City, which had a distinct rural character. In 1732, the city, imitating other Protestant states, took in 12 Protestant families that, along with hundreds of others, had been expulsed from Salzburg by the Prince-Archbishop. Emperor Charles VII stayed briefly at the Bürgermeister’s house in 1743, and on his way back from Italy in June 1788, Goethe stayed for two nights at the *Goldenen Gans* Inn, where he spent 2 gulden in victuals. The population then was about 1770, almost unchanged from a century earlier.

#### End of free imperial city status

In the course of the mediatisation of 1802-03, Giengen was not spared the fate of the great majority of the 50 Free Imperial Cities of the moribund Holy Roman Empire and the city lost its independence. On September 5, 1802, Duke Frederick II of Württemberg wrote to “the Mayor and Town Council of the Imperial City of Giengen” that “they should convince themselves of the necessity for Giengen” to be incorporated into his duchy. The following month, the Duke ordered his bailiff in Heidenheim to enter Giengen and take possession. At that time, the city - one of the 15 Free Imperial Cities to be absorbed into Württemberg between 1802 and 1810 - was home to 464 families, had 1,695 inhabitants, 354 houses, 119 barns, and a budget surplus of 6,000 gulden.

# 54th Infantry Regiment (United States)

The **54th Infantry Regiment** (for a time, known as the **54th Armored Infantry Regiment**) is a United States Army Regimental System parent regiment of the United States Army. It is represented in the active Army by the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, which conduct Infantry One Station Unit Training (OSUT) at Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning), Georgia.

## History

The regiment was constituted on 15 May 1917 in the Regular Army as the 54th Infantry. It was organized on 16 June 1917 at Chickamauga Park, Georgia. It was assigned on 16 November 1917 to the 6th Division. It saw service in France during World War I, earning battle honors for the Meuse-Argonne and Alsace 1918 campaigns. On 29 June 1922, the 2nd Infantry Regiment was designated as the 54th's "Active Associate" unit, intended to furnish a cadre to reactivate the regiment in the event of war. On 17 July 1922, the 17th Infantry Regiment was designated as the regiment's Active Associate. The 54th Infantry Regiment was inactivated on 24 October 1922 at Fort Wayne, Michigan.

On 24 March 1923, the regiment was relieved from the 6th Division and assigned to the 7th Division. In 1926, the regiment was organized as a "Regular Army Inactive" unit with Organized Reserve personnel with its headquarters at Omaha, Nebraska. The "Active Associate" program was discontinued in 1927. In 1930, the regiment was affiliated with the Reserve Officers Training Corps programs at Creighton University and the University of Nebraska, and was manned using Regular Army program staff and Reserve personnel commissioned from the programs. The regiment was relieved on 1 October 1940 from assignment to the 7th Division. Redesignated 14 June 1942 as the 54th Armored Infantry, it was then assigned on 15 July to the 10th Armored Division and activated at Fort Benning, Georgia.

* Regiment broken up 20 September 1943 and its elements reorganized and redesignated as elements of the 10th Armored Division as follows:

\- 54th Infantry (less 1st, 2d, and 3d Battalions) as the 54th Armored Infantry Battalion \- 1st Battalion as the 61st Armored Infantry Battalion \- 2nd Battalion as the 20th Armored Infantry Battalion \- 3rd Battalion disbanded * Battalions inactivated 13–23 October 1945 at Camp Patrick Henry, Virginia.
* Relieved 14 September 1950 from assignment to the 10th Armored Division, concurrently consolidated broken up and its elements redesignated as elements of the 10th Armored Division as follows:

\- 54th Infantry (less 1st, 2d, 3d Battalions) as the 54th Armored Infantry Battalion \- 1st Battalion as the 561st Armored Infantry Battalion \- 2nd Battalion as the 520th Armored Infantry Battalion \- Former 3rd Battalion reconstituted as the 554th Armored Infantry Battalion

Today, 2nd Battalion, 54th Infantry Regiment is a One Station Unit Training battalion on Sand Hill, Fort Moore, Georgia. It has been the starting place for the training of tens of thousands of United States Army Infantrymen over the past three decades.

The 3rd Battalion, 54th Infantry regiment was reactivated on 2 August 2019 as a One Station Unit Training unit on Sand Hill, Fort Benning, Georgia. The unit was reactivated to enable the success of the army's new 22-week OSUT training regime.

## History

Schools for African Americans were established in Covington after the American Civil War at local churches. Jacob Price, a local religious leader and businessman, helped lead efforts to establish the schools for African Americans. In 1876 the schools began receiving public funds from the city.

Samuel Reynolds Singer, an Oberlin College graduate, helped establish William Grant High School in 1886 and served as its principal. Seventh Street Colored School was built in 1888. The land at 25 East 7th Street was donated by Colonel William Letcher Grant and an elementary and secondary school used the building. A historical marker commemorates his legacy.

In 1909 the elementary school was renamed Lincoln School. The Lincoln-Grant School was a hyphenation of the elementary school, Lincoln School (named for President Abraham Lincoln), and William Grant High School (named for Colonel William Letcher Grant who donated the land and advocated for the schools.

A study of student progress at the school was done from 1918 to 1929. The school was part of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools for Negroes’ Secondary School Study.

In 1929 the school's football team was Kentucky African American State Football Champions. Paul Redden coached.

The school moved to 824 Greenup Street in 1932. Football was discontinued. Clarence Cameron White visited the school and the community in 1938.

title: Radio Veronica (Talpa Radio)

abstract: Radio Veronica is a Dutch commercial radio station owned by Mediahuis since June 2023, before that it was a subsidiary of Talpa Network. The station runs a mixed playlist of pop and rock music from the 1970s until the 2000s, additional with current hits. The station can be compared with Absolute Radio and Radio X in the United Kingdom. Radio Veronica in its present form was created on 31 August 2003 by a merger of the cable station Radio Veronica of the Vereniging Veronica and the golden oldie station Radio 103 of Sky Radio Ltd. In return, received the Vereniging Veronica 3.5% of the shares of the Sky Radio Ltd. in hands. In 2006, this interest was expanded to 10%, after the Telegraaf Media Groep NV and ING acquired the Sky Radio Group and those in Sienna Holding BV - operating under the name Sky Radio Group accommodated. In 2007, the Telegraaf Media Groep NV acquired 85% of the company owned and thus control over the company. The brand "Radio Veronica" has a long heritage in the Netherlands going back to the offshore station (VRON) in the 1960s and early 1970s later becoming part of the Dutch public broadcasting system before once again becoming a private venture however the station/brand has undergone several changes of ownership since. Radio Veronica is comparable to NPO Radio 2 by their similarity of decades. The only difference is that NPO Radio 2 does play more genres than rock music. In April 2023 Talpa Network sold the station to Mediahuis, due to a legal change it was no longer allowed for a single party to hold more than three fm-frequencies.

## Fluctuations

Uunco Cerfontaine was since 2003 the program director of the station. Early 2013 was Niels Hoogland appointed as program director. On 4 November 2013 the station was a new course. This meant the dismissal of Erwin Peters, Bart van Leeuwen, Luc van Rooij and Dennis Hoebee. The change did not achieve a higher market share. Between January 2013 and October 2014, the market share decreased by 2%. Also Rob van Someren was replaced in autumn 2014 by Jeroen van Inkel. Niels Hoogland was replaced on 1 November 2014 by Erik de Zwart.

Erik de Zwart presented on 2 February 2015 a new programming. In this new course old items, such as "De Stemband", "De plaat en zijn verhaal" and Veronica FM program "Rinkeldekinkel" returned. The design of the station appears again in the eighties, but adapted to the present time. Further De Zwart took the DJs Bart Van Leeuwen and Dennis Hoebee back.
