## Education and career

After receiving her doctorate, Baron accepted an appointment as an assistant professor at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and an appointment as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She accepted a permanent offer from UIUC in 1983, was promoted to Associate Professor in 1989, and to full Professor in 1996. In 2001, she moved to Indiana University - Bloomington as a full professor, and she was named the Rudy Professor in 2004. In 2012 she accepted an additional appointment as Professor at the University of St. Andrews, while retaining her position at Indiana as well. She retains an honorary professorship there. Besides for her permanent positions, Baron has also held visiting positions at a variety of institutions, including Illinois State University, Stanford University, the University of Michigan, the University of Chicago, the University of Melbourne, the University of Auckland, and Dartmouth College.

## Research areas

Baron's research has focused on moral philosophy, moral psychology, the philosophical issues of criminal law, impartiality in ethics, as well as Immanuel Kant (whom she has authored two books on) and David Hume. Baron has written extensively about topics such as apparent conflicts between different types of interpersonal relationships, manipulativeness, justifications and excuses, the moral significance of appearances, and the ethics of Kant and Hume. She has also written about a wide variety of topics related to philosophical issues of criminal law, including writing several papers on potential defenses to bodily crimes, issues surrounding mens rea (including whether or not mens rea can be satisfied by negligence,) and the standards of control and reasonableness that people should be held to (cf. the "reasonable person".)

## Publications

Baron has written or co-written two books and is working on a third - *Three Methods of Ethics: A Debate* in 1997, and *Kantian Ethics Almost without Apology* in 1995. Baron's upcoming book, tentatively titled *Self-Defense, Reason, and the Law*, focuses on the reasonable belief requirement as it pertains to self-defense. She has also published around four dozen papers, one monograph, five encyclopedia articles, and a host of book reviews. In *Three Methods of Ethics*, Baron's contribution focused providing a limited defense of Immanuel Kant, attempting to demonstrate that a Kantian position is superior to that espoused by virtue ethicists. In *Kantian Ethics*, Baron attempts to provide a limited defense of Kantian ethics intended for a broader audience than those who are already Kantians. *Kantian Ethics* tries to directly address two widely perceived problems in Kant's positions; first, the idea that Kant's ethics leave no room for superogatory actions, and second, that Kant places too much emphasis on the idea of duty.

# Marcia Baila

"**Marcia Baïla**" is a 1984 song recorded by the French duo Les Rita Mitsouko. It was the third single from their first album, *Rita Mitsouko*, and was released in April of that year. Dedicated to a dancer with the band who died in 1983, this song was a big hit both in France and abroad and can be considered as being one of the band's signature songs.

## Background and writing

The song was composed by both members of the group, Catherine Ringer and Fred Chichin. It is a tribute to Argentine dancer and choreographer Marcia Moretto, who participated in the band's tours before her death from breast cancer in 1983 at the age of 36. With this song, the group enjoyed extensive media coverage; indeed, "the music video for the single \[was\] a success which result\[ed\] in repeated and enthusiastic broadcastings on the television, the extravagance of the group express\[ing\] itself as well in concerts as during its cathodic performances." Philippe Gautier directed the vibrant and widely viewed music video that accompanies the song, and gathered in a global concept representative of the arts of its time, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Thierry Mugler for the costumes and graffiti painters from the Figuration libre movement as well as Xavier Veilhan for the set design. Despite its Spanish title, the lyrics are in French.

## Chart performance

In France, the song had a long chart trajectory, remaining on the Top 50 charts for 29 weeks. It debuted at #33 on April 27, 1985, and climbed regularly until it peaked at #2 for three consecutive weeks, but by note and curiosity, it was blocked by the song "Live is Life" by "Opus". In all, it spent 17 weeks in the Top Ten.
The song was Rita Mitsouko's first big hit and propelled them to considerable fame.

## In the media and cover versions

The song can be heard in several films, including *The Witnesses* (produced by André Téchiné, 2007), *La Tête de maman* (Carine Tardieu, 2007), *Le Pornographe* (Bertrand Bonello, 2001), *Belle Maman* (Gabriel Aghion, 1999) and *Sans toit ni loi* (Agnès Varda, 1985).

The song is also a PAL region exclusive for Just Dance 3.

In 1997, the song was covered in Spanish by Los Del Sol. Gloria Lasso covered the song under the title "Baïlando con Marcia". In 1998, Ricky Martin covered the song on his album *Vuelve*, on which it features as the 11th track. Christer Björkman also made a version of the song, released as a single in 2002. The French band Nouvelle Vague covered this song for their fourth album Couleurs sur Paris, released in 2010. It was played at 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony.

**WNEZ** (1230 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish variety format. Licensed to Manchester, Connecticut, United States, the station serves the Hartford-New Britain-Middletown area. The station is owned by Gois Broadcasting of Connecticut, LLC. Its programming is also heard on FM translator W287CS (105.3) in Manchester.

## Prior use of 1230 kHz

The 1230 kHz frequency, and its pre-NARBA predecessor of 1200 kHz, were occupied from August 1936 to February 1954 by WTHT, a station owned by *The Hartford Times* newspaper. WTHT was Hartford's third radio station, affiliated with the Mutual Broadcasting System from 1936 to 1945 and ABC from 1945 to 1954. An FM adjunct, WTHT-FM 106.1, operated from 1948 to 1950.

The *Times* and General Tele-Radio, owner of Hartford station WONS, both applied for channel 18 after the Federal Communications Commission took applications for the newly opened channel. In October 1953, the two parties agreed to merge their broadcasting interests in Hartford. As a result, WTHT radio left the air on February 13, 1954; WONS became WGTH, which added ABC programming to its schedule.

## History

After WTHT left the air, a number of applicants sought to use the 1230 frequency in Hartford, East Hartford, or Manchester. Brothers Broadcasting Company proposed a station in Hartford; Regional Broadcasting Company specified East Hartford; and John Deme–owned Manchester Broadcasting Company proposed a station in Manchester. The FCC issued a decision favoring Deme in July 1957.

WINF began broadcasting on May 18, 1958, from studios in the Manchester Shopping Parkade.

In the 1980s, the studios were moved to Wethersfield Avenue in Hartford. In 1994, the studios were moved to the fourth floor of a building on Cedar Street in Hartford, and the station—then WLAT—operated with a Spanish-language format under new ownership. In 1999, Alfredo Alonso's Mega Broadcasting purchased the station for $575,000 from Jeffrey Dressler. WLAT moved again in 2000, this time to 330 Main Street where it joined station WNEZ (910 AM); the two stations swapped call signs in 2001. In 2002, Freedom Communications purchased both stations. Ownership changed again in 2007 to Gois, and the studios moved to East Hartford.

# P.S. I Love U (Gackt song)

"**P.S. I Love U**" is the forty-fourth single of Japanese recording artist Gackt, released on February 12, 2014. The title song was the theme song for Vartix brand commercial, while the B-side was the theme song for Kissmark snowboarding brand commercial.

## Overview

It is the first single in Gackt's career spanning more than fifteen years that didn't manage to enter the top ten of the Oricon major charts, it debuted at number twelve and charted for three weeks, however it did manage to top the Oricon indie charts.

It is his first record from his own new label G&Lovers, supported by record label and distribution company Crown Tokuma, and for digital release by Space Shower Music, being available for digital download in all major online stores all over the world.

The title song was written from a woman’s perspective, based on his own feelings and experiences, like the death of close friends Kami and Ken Ogata, but also inspired by stories and movies like *If Only*, the Japanese drama *Ima Ai Ni Yukimasu* (a.k.a. *Be with You*), and the film *Watashi No Atama No Naka No Keshigomu* (a.k.a. *A Movement to Remember*). Gackt recalls that the "single is meant to be like a letter left to a loved one by someone who's gone from this world", yet "the purpose of my song is not to evoke sadness, but happiness. In my opinion, death is not important—what's important is what kind of life we leave behind".

# Lima Cigarmakers

The **Lima Cigarmakers** were a minor league baseball team based in Lima, Ohio. From 1908 to 1912, the Cigarmakers played as members of the Class D level Ohio State League, winning the 1909 league championship. The Lima "Boosters" played as members of the 1915 Buckeye League, winning the league championship in a shortened season.

The Cigarmakers and Boosters teams hosted home minor league games at San Felice Park in Lima. San Felice was a cigar brand in the era that was manufactured in the region.

## History

### Early minor league teams

Lima first hosted minor league baseball in 1888, when the Lima "Lushers" played the season as members of independent Tri-State League, winning the league championship. The Cigarmakers were immediately preceded in minor league play by the 1905 and 1906 Lima Lees, who played as members of the Class C level Interstate Association. Lima did not field a minor league team in 1907 before resuming play in a new league in 1908.

### 1908 to 1912 - Ohio State League

In 1908, the Lima "Cigarmakers" began play as members of the six-team, Class D level Ohio State League, which reformed after having last played in 1898. The Lancaster Lanks, Mansfield Pioneers, Marion Diggers, Newark Newks and Springfield Reapers teams joined Lima in beginning league play on April 23, 1908.

The "Cigarmakers" nickname corresponds with the cigarmaking industry in Lima in the era, which included the Deisel-Wemmer-Gilbert cigar factory. In addition, the team hosted home games at San Felice Park, with San Felice being a brand of cigars manufactured in the region in the era.

In their first season of play, the Cigarmakers placed second in the six–team Ohio State League. Lima ended the Ohio State League season with an overall regular season record of 80–67, managed by Jim Jackson and Nick Kahl. The Cigarmakers finished 11.0 games behind the place first place Lancaster Lanks in the final regular season standings, as the league held no playoffs. Lima pitcher Charles Pickett, led the league with a 21–7 record, while Frank Foutz led the league with 12 home runs and Duke Reilley had 80 stolen bases, tops in the league.

The Lima Cigarmakers were the 1909 Ohio State League champions. The Cigarmakers placed first in the standings with a 79–50 record, playing under manager Lee Fohl. Lima finished 8.5 games ahead of the second place Marion Diggers in the final standings. The Cigarmakers had numerous league leaders on their 1909 roster, as Charles Fink led the league with 91 runs scored and Duke Reilley led the league in stolen bases for the second consecutive season, stealing 76. Lima pitcher Robert Nelson won .800 of his games to lead the league.

Lima championship player/manager Lee Fohl went on to a brief major league playing career as a catcher. Beginning in 1915, Fohl served as a major league manager for the Cleveland Indians for five seasons. He later managed the St. Louis Browns and Boston Red Sox, while serving as a major league manager through the 1926 season.

The Cigarmakers continued play Ohio state League play in the 1910 season, as Lima finished second in the standings. With a record of 82–52, the Cigarmakers finished 4.0 games behind the first place Portsmouth Cobblers in the six-team league final standings. Al Newham served as the Lima manager.Frank Nesser of Lima was the league home run champion, hitting six, while pitcher Henry Lloyd led the league with a 10–3 record.

In 1911, the Lima Cigarmakers, played in an expanded Ohio State League, placing sixth in the eight-team league. Lima ended the season with 1 62–77 record playing the season under the direction of player/manager Frank Nesser. The Cigarmakers finished 22.0 games behind the first place Springfield Reapers in the final standings.

Player/manager Frank Nesser was also a professional football player who played six seasons in the early National Football League. Along with six of his brothers they all played professional football, known as the Nesser brothers.

In their final season of play as the "Cigarmakers," the 1912 Lima Cigars continued play as the Ohio State League reduced teams and returned to a six–team league. playing under manager Zeke Wrigley, Lima ended the season with a record of 64–73. Lima finished 25.5 games behind the first place Portsmouth Cobblers. Frank Nesser of Lima led the Ohio State League with 170 total hits.

Lima did not return to play in the 1913 Ohio State League, as the league expanded to eight teams and added four new franchises.

### 1915 - Buckeye League

Lima, Ohio did not host a minor league team in the 1914 season. Lima resumed minor league play, when the 1915 Lima "Boosters" played the season as charter members of the Class D level Buckeye League and won the league championship in a shortened season. The 1915 Buckeye League formed as six–team league and began play on May 19, 1915. The Akron Rubbermen, Canton Giants, Findlay Finns, Marion Senators and Newark New Socks teams joined Lima in league play.

On June 11, 1915, both the Marion Senators and Canton Giants teams disbanded, leaving the Buckeye League with four remaining teams. After continuing the season, the league permanently disbanded on July 5, 1915. The league folding corresponded to World War I efforts that affected many minor leagues.

The Lima Boosters, with a record of 25–18, were in first place when the Buckeye League folded on July 5, 1915. Lima was managed by Sandy Murray and finished 2.0 games ahead of second place Findlay. In the final standings, Lima and Findlay (22–19) were followed by the Akron Rubbermen (22–21) and Newark New Socks (14–24) in the final standings. The Marion Senators had a record of 10–5 and the Canton Giants were 5–11 when they both folded on June 11, 1915. Lima player/manager Sandy Murray was leading the Buckeye League with 52 total hits and teammate Bill Reynolds had a league leading 116 strikeouts when the league folded.

The Buckeye League never reformed a minor league after folding in 1915. Lima did not host minor league baseball for over twenty years and resumed play in 1939, when the Lima Pandas rejoined the Ohio State League. The Lima franchise played another tenure of eleven seasons in the league.

## The ballpark

The Lima Cigarmakers and Boosters teams both hosted minor league home games at San Felice Park. San Felice Park corresponds with "San Felice" being a brand of cigars manufactured in the region in the era, produced in the Diesel-Wemmer cigar company located in Lima. In the era, the ballpark was located on West Grand Avenue, near North McDonel Street in Lima, Ohio. Today, the former ballpark location is residential.

title: Limehouse Basin

abstract: Limehouse Basin is a body of water 2 miles east of London Bridge that is also a navigable link between the River Thames and two of London's canals. First dug in 1820 as the eastern terminus of the new Regent's Canal, its wet area was less than 5 acres originally, but it was gradually enlarged in the Victorian era, reaching a maximum of double that size, when it was given its characteristic oblique entrance lock, big enough to admit 2,000-ton ships. Throughout its working life the basin was better known as the Regent's Canal Dock, and was used to transship goods between the old Port of London and the English canal system. Cargoes handled were chiefly coal and timber, but also ice, and even circus animals, Russian oil and First World War submarines. Sailing ships delivered cargoes there until the Second World War, and can be seen in surviving films and paintings. The dock closed for transshipment in 1969 and eventually passed into disuse. Following closure of the basin and much of the wider London docks, the surroundings were redeveloped for housing and leisure in the late 20th century. Sometimes now referred to as the Limehouse Marina, the Basin lies between the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) line and historic Narrow Street; the Limehouse Link tunnel passes beneath. Directly to the east is Ropemaker's Fields, a small park.

## History

### Reasons for construction

#### Fuel for London; Thames congestion

To warm their homes and cook their food Londoners at one time burned wood, but local woodlands, though managed as renewable resources, could not keep up with the rising demand. Thus by the 18th century the town's fuel was chiefly coal, imported from Newcastle upon Tyne by sea — hence, *sea coal*. It was transported in colliers, typically small brigs. Because voyages could be extremely hazardous, these were built for strength, "certainly not for looks".

Arriving in the Thames, a collier tried to find a mooring in the highly congested Pool of London. Once moored, a fleet of small barges, called lighters, relieved her of her cargo. But these lighters were used as floating warehouses, perhaps taking a long time to unload. They attracted "River-Pirates, Night-Plunderers, Lightermen, Burgemen, Watermen, Bumboatmen, and Peter-Boatmen", to the point that rivermen rarely paid for their coals, or so said Patrick Colquhoun, founder of the Thames River Police.

#### Linking Port to English canal system

Some inland towns depended on the English canal system for their coals, yet access from the Pool of London was difficult, the nearest Thames link being at Brentford. The Regent's Canal Company proposed to tackle this problem by digging their canal to skirt round existing London to the north. Horse-towed barges would convey goods from Limehouse to the Paddington Branch of the Grand Union Canal (opened 1801), and onwards. "The Regent's Canal was intended to and still does bring the Thames into watery contact with, say, Birmingham". Later, it was sometimes found cheaper to import coal in the opposite direction. The Newcastle mine owners were in a cartel to keep up prices and, when they went too far, midland coalfields sent their produce to London down the Regent's Canal.

Where a canal joined a tidal river there was usually a small basin where barges could wait for the right state of the tide to go over. The Regent's Canal Company, short of capital, thought it would be enough to provide a small 1 12 acre basin of that sort at Limehouse. However, they were converted to a bolder idea: making it big enough to receive the Newcastle sailing colliers themselves, which could then unload at their convenience.

### The Basin: original 1820 version

The chief engineer was James Morgan and the contractor was Hugh McIntosh; the basin's wet area was 4 12 acres.

The basin formally opened on 1 August 1820. The Regent's Canal entered the basin through the Commercial Road Lock, which is still in use.

The original basin was rudimentary. It was not faced with stone or brick but, to save disposal of spoil, had earthen banks gradually sloping down to the bottom, which was 18 feet (5.5 m) below Trinity High Water. Since ships could not get alongside to moor there were wooden jetties for discharging goods to local merchants, but they had been built too high. There were not enough mooring buoys.

The Basin was gradually enlarged in the 19th century by digging east and southeast (see below). At the century's end parts of the west and north banks were sloping still.

#### Thames entrance

The Basin was dug some distance inland, since the riverfront was built up. It was connected to the Thames by a short canal that was crossed by two streets. It had a pound lock, and could admit ships of about 10 metres beam. (This canal outlet ran more or less where Horseferry Road does today as it joins Narrow Street.) Traffic on Narrow Street crossed the canal by a swing bridge, which could pivot out to let vessels pass, driven by labourers who worked capstans (see artist's impression).

The canal outlet was made nearly square-on to the river, but it turned out to be a bad choice. When ships were trying to dock or undock, the local set of the tide flowed crossways, making it very difficult. In the first five months' service only 15 loaded ships entered the dock.

Not only ships, but already-laden barges entered the Basin from the Thames.

#### Not the first Limehouse basin

Limehouse Basin was the third structure of that name in London. In any case half of it lay in the parish of Ratcliff, not Limehouse. Hence throughout its working life it was better known as the Regent's Canal Dock; its "RCD" flag can be seen in the 1826 artist's impression.

#### Muscle power: coal-whipping

Coal was unloaded in the Basin from ships to barges. Until 1853 it was done entirely by human muscle power in a method called *whipping*. Four men down in the ship's hold put lumps of coal into a basket as fast as they could. Up on deck, another four men, when they guessed the basket should be full, ran up a crude ladder and jumped down onto the deck simultaneously, each throwing his weight onto a rope passing over a pulley: this jerked (or *whipped*) the basket out of the hold. Keeping up the momentum, a ninth man tipped the contents into a weighing machine which shot them into a barge. The whole thing was done in silence. A nine-man gang was expected to unload 49 tons of a coal a day; more often, according to Henry Mayhew, they achieved double that amount — during which each rope man climbed a total distance of nearly 1 12 vertical miles — and sometimes more.

### Modifications and success

The proprietors soon fixed the teething troubles about the jetties and mooring buoys and the project became a success. By 1830, twenty to fifty vessels were entering or leaving the basin on each tide, typical large users being the London gasworks companies.

To cope with the currents a timber structure was erected to protect vessels being driven sideways (illustration). Nevertheless, wrote engineer John Baldry Redman in 1848, the entrance bore "a very bad character".

The London and Blackwall Railway arrived in 1840. Built on a viaduct, its arches skirted the northern edge of the dock, sometimes actually crossing the water. Thus the dock included a small basin on the other side of the railway line where barges could enter; it was not filled in until 1926.

The railway continued to carry passengers until 1922 and goods until 1964, when it was abandoned, and was in danger of demolition, but its "fine" arches (by Robert Stephenson and George Bidder) were preserved as a listed building; today, they are used by the Docklands Light Railway.

The dock was enlarged several times (by 1848 the water area was 8 12 or 9 acres) and, in 1849, to cope with increasing congestion, a second outlet to the river was made for barge traffic.

In 1851 severe competition arrived: the railway companies penetrated the coal trade. Not only was coal from Yorkshire and the Midlands carried direct to King's Cross by the Great Northern Railway, but the North London Railway opened a line to the West India Docks, whose Poplar Dock could handle the latest large, efficient twin-screw steam colliers.

In Limehouse Basin, human muscle could not unload coal fast enough; electrical power was not yet practical; so in 1853 hydraulic power was fitted. Energy was stored in hydraulic accumulators (a heavy weight on a water column driven up a tower by a steam engine), a cutting edge technology at the time. It drove hydraulic cranes.

### Mid-Victorian improvements (1870)

By 1865, the Basin was overcrowded. The old ship canal was not wide enough for the big steam colliers that were winning the business. It was the only dock entrance in London too narrow to admit the Fire Brigade's floating engine (a paddle-wheeler). A major scheme of improvements was carried out. The work was done by the Company's own employees under their chief engineer, Edwin Thomas.

The wet area was increased to 10 acres, the most it ever attained. A new river wall was erected. Meanwhile, it was business as usual, for the shipping traffic continued to come and go, floating in the old basin while protected by an earthen dam (see illustration).

#### Ship lock

The most important innovation was the new ship lock, which was 18.5 metres (61 ft) wide, and built slantwise to avoid the previous troubles. It was 8 +12 metres deep over the sills. Major parts were made of Bramley Fall stone or Cornish granite. It could admit sea-going vessels of 2,000 tons net register, far more than would be possible now (today's lock is built inside the 1869 original). It was a two-compartment lock, and hence there were three lock gates, each formed by a pair of leaves. Each 80-ton gate leaf rested on a massive granite pivot stone. Most of those stones — with their telltale circular depressions — have been preserved, and today are laid out on display on the western side of the Basin.

Limehouse Basin now had three entrances from the Thames. The old ship lock was closed off by 1880, but the barge lock continued to exist until about 1924.

#### The accumulator tower

To work the heavy lock gates, hydraulic power was used; it also worked the swing bridge over Narrow Street, and continued to power the hydraulic cranes. For this purpose a new hydraulic accumulator was built with an unusual octagonal brick tower.

In 1973, investigators found the remains of the tower and at first mistook it for a railway signalling installation. It is now recognised as one of the oldest surviving accumulator towers in the world and is a Grade II listed building, being open every year during Open House Weekend.

### Jobs

Alan H. Faulkner wrote that in 1907 Limehouse Basin employed (amongst others) a dock master, six policemen, thirteen crane drivers, and a diver and his mate.

### Exotic cargoes and transport

The Company made efforts to diversify the dock's trade beyond coal and timber and attracted miscellaneous shipping.

#### Edible ice

Before mechanical refrigeration was commonplace, Limehouse Basin was a centre for the importation of high grade ice, in demand by caterers, confectioners and hospitals. Ice, pure enough for human consumption, was cut in blocks from frozen Norwegian lakes, shipped to Limehouse Basin, and stored in ice wells located near the Regent's Canal. The first to do this was William Leftwich. His enormous Park Crescent West ice well near Regent's Park has been rediscovered recently under the streets of Marylebone. He built ice wells in Cumberland Market and Camden Market, also supplied by the Regent's Canal from Limehouse Basin, One, the deepest ever dug, survives to this day.

Ice cream was a luxury for the well-to-do until Carlo Gatti introduced it to Londoners as street food — his penny ices. He built two ice wells at Kings Cross; one of them can be visited at the London Canal Museum. Gatti's depot was on the north-east side of Limehouse Basin for many years. At least 15 ice ships a year were still arriving there in 1912.

Ice had six different medical uses at the East End's London Hospital wrote their Matron, Eva Luckes. At one time it was commended as a safer anaesthetic than chloroform for "minor" amputations e.g. finger removals.

#### Cruises to Liverpool

In the Victorian era there was a weekly passenger service from Limehouse Basin to Liverpool; the round trip could be booked as a holiday cruise. Leaving on Saturday mornings, ships steamed round the west coast calling at Plymouth and Falmouth arriving in the Mersey on Wednesdays. The fare was £1 plus meals. One who had tried it said it was not recommendable during the equinoctial gales. Another said there were cabins but a passenger might have to sleep in the lifeboat.

#### Oil tankers

Some of the earliest practical oil tankers — before those evolved, ships routinely transported oil in barrels — docked in the Limehouse Basin in 1886. One was the innovative oil-fired Russian steamer *Sviet* with petroleum from the Baku oilfields; another was the American *Crusader* a wooden sailing tanker. The ships were designed to pump out their cargo quickly, saving valuable docking time, but could not do so at Limehouse Basin, because there were no bulk storage facilities. It had to be piped overland to barges in Limehouse Cut.

#### Circus animals

The Limehouse Basin between the wars was used to import animals — including lions, tigers, elephants, polar bears and sea lions — on their way to the London and provincial circuses. Once, 14 tigers arrived in one batch.

#### Submarines

After the First World War 25 German submarines were towed into Limehouse Basin and broken up by scrap merchants George Cohen & Sons, whose business was located between Commercial Road lock and the station.

#### Oranges

Near present-day Medland House in the 1920s were electric cranes for handling fruit cargoes from Spain.

#### 20th-century sailing ships

The use of sailing ships to deliver timber at Limehouse Basin continued up to WW2. Labour-intensive, it was financially viable because most crewmen were youths who were paid no wages. The ships can be seen in films of the silent era; a painting at the National Maritime Museum by Norman Janes shows three 3-masted sailing vessels there at the same time.

The Regent's Canal dock had its own customs house. The latest was built around 1905-10, and stood on the river side of the Thames lock. Today, it is a listed building, and is used as a Gordon Ramsay gastropub.

### Relation with Limehouse Cut

Limehouse Cut to the east — an older canal that conveyed grain traffic from the River Lea and had its own basin and exit to the Thames — had no historic connection with the Regent's Canal. In 1854, however, there was talk of a takeover and a link was dug to Limehouse Basin. The takeover was opposed by bargemen on the rivers Lea and Stort who did not like being under Regent's Canal regulations. The proposal was defeated and in 1864 the link was filled in.

Apart from that brief interlude there was no connection between Limehouse Basin and the Cut for another hundred years, although some old maps may suggest otherwise.

In 1968 Limehouse Cut's old Thames exit was stopped up and, by cutting a 200 foot (60 metre) channel, it was made to discharge directly into Limehouse Basin. (The new link ran north of what is now Victory Place. The old link had run to the south of the site.)

### Lifeboats

The Victorian era's lifeboats, sponsored by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, were built nearby on the Limehouse Cut at Forrestt's boatyard, but for publicity were often given their harbour trials in Limehouse Basin. They were tipped upside down and allowed to fill with water: if they self-righted, spontaneously ejecting the water, they passed. Reportedly these boats saved upwards of 12,000 lives.

### In national politics

On 1 January 1948 the Regent's Canal was nationalised. On 27 May 1948 eleven dockers were ordered to load bags of a chemical onto a ship docked in Limehouse Basin. Because the chemical stained their skin and clothing they felt it was a dangerous cargo and refused to handle it, unless for extra payment of their own specifying. This was a direct challenge to the National Dock Labour Scheme instituted by the newly elected Labour government, which had replaced the old system of casual employment by a legal right to minimum work, holidays, sick pay and pensions, but under a regime where dockers had to obey orders or face disciplinary action (although they could appeal). The dispute escalated to a London-wide dock strike, spreading to Liverpool, whereupon the Attlee government invoked emergency powers and ordered troops to unload food vessels.

## Swing bridge

The swing bridge that carries Narrow Street over the Thames lock is a 1961 replacement. Built on Teesside, to get it to London it was made into a seaworthy pontoon and towed down the North Sea.

## Redevelopment

### Derelict

Burning coal in London was made illegal. The last commercial barge traffic in Limehouse Basin was in April 1968. It closed as a transshipment dock in 1969, though it continued to be visited by ships with scrap metal for Cohens as late as 1980. It became a bleak, derelict industrial zone. Planners wanted to fill it in "because they said children would fall in and drown". Also, the area was blighted by traffic congestion, access to the Isle of Dogs being poor. The Greater London Council proposed to demolish part of the railway viaduct and replace it by a 4-lane dual carriageway; an alternative route was between the Thames and the Basin, which would have cut through the exit lock.

### Controversy

The redevelopment of the Basin for housing started in 1981 when the British Waterways Board organised an architectural competition. The winner was a £70 million scheme by the controversial architects Richard Seifert and Partners. It called for half of the Basin to be filled in to provide 100,000 square feet of offices and 400 luxury houses. It was strongly opposed by local residents, including David Owen, and was refused by the planning inspector who, however, was overruled by the Secretary of State. The architectural controversy attracted Prince Charles, who made a surprise visit to the Basin. The scheme was never fulfilled, except for Goodhart Place. Instead, the Basin was developed in phases, as and when the financial climate permitted.

The answer to traffic congestion, said the London Docklands Development Corporation, was to run the Limehouse Link tunnel under the northern arc of the Basin. No precedent existed for such a large scale underground structure in those conditions. Since it was close to the DLR, precautions were needed to stop ground movements from collapsing the 150-year old brick viaduct.

The top ground was first consolidated by removing silt with a floating dredger and replacing it with North Sea aggregate to reclaim a stretch of dry land. The tunnel was made by the cut and cover, bottom up method. The trench was excavated inside a temporary cofferdam formed by massive piles braced by steel struts. The piles were very difficult to drive in the over-consolidated London Clay — and afterwards to remove. The first test pile was driven by Margaret Thatcher on 20 November 1989. Further precautions were taken to weight the base slab — if the groundwater pressure is high enough, even a concrete tunnel will float — and also not to form a new hydraulic connection between the Basin and the aquifer in the lowest stratum of the Woolwich and Reading Beds. The Regent's Canal was closed off for a year.

The four Marina Heights buildings were afterwards built over the tunnel. Wet basin area was restored in some other places e.g. the canal mouths by removing the marine aggregate.

### New lock

The old mid-Victorian shiplock was large and used a lot of water, so in 1988-9 the Thames lock was rebuilt to much smaller dimensions. The new lock is only 24 feet (7.3 metres) wide — even less than the 1820 original — and the depth over the sills is 10 feet. It was rebuilt within the confines of the 1869 ship lock, whose outline can still be seen.

## Amenities

Facilities alongside the Basin include a Gordon Ramsay gastropub, a tai chi academy, a gym, a kayak hire, a fine arts bronze foundry and gallery, and a cosmetic dental practice. Immediately near is the historic pub The Grapes, an Italian restaurant, a hair studio and a dry cleaner. In Ropemaker's Fields (a small park immediately to the east) there is a children's playground and a tennis court. Limehouse DLR station is beside the northwestern corner of the Basin. St Anne's Limehouse (1730), a Grade-1 listed building by Nicholas Hawksmoor, is a familiar landmark.

The canals offer recreation for narrowboats and kayaks; their towpaths, for walkers and cyclists. A six-mile round trip is: up the Limehouse Cut to join the Lee Navigation, then west by Duckett's Canal to join the Regent's Canal, then south back to Limehouse Basin.

Housing immediately alongside the Basin includes Goodhart Place, the apartment blocks Medland House, Berglen Court, Pinnacle 1 (awarded Best Apartment Building 2001), Marina Heights (four), Pinnacle 2, two terraced town houses and Victory Place. The Basin (excluding its buildings) is part of the Narrow Street Conservation Area. Canary Wharf is within walking distance; the scenic river route is across Narrow Street and using the bridge over Limekiln Dock. It can also be accessed by the 135 and D3 buses, or by the DLR.

## Marina

The Cruising Association has a purpose-built headquarters at Limehouse Basin, where a number of vessels, both sea-going and narrowboat type, are permanently moored. There are facilities appropriate to a marina, such as secure jetties, diesel supply, laundry, shower, chemical toilet disposal, a pump-out and a chandlery.

"According to several boating associations",

> the Limehouse Basin is a vital ‘port of refuge’ for departing and visiting craft from further down the tidal Thames and the Continent, due to providing the only lock in central London with an adequate tidal window for barges travelling downstream from the non-tidal Thames and other moorings and basins.

Of the berths, 75 are for permanent waterside living; others are for leisure use, wintering vessels, or visitors. The Thames lock operates 2 hours either side of low water.

At the Marina Office a plaque commemorates Stephen Maynard, a fireman who lost his life on 25 January 1980 putting out a ship fire in the dock: he was 26. In 2016 colleagues were still holding an annual minute's silence in his memory.

### How deep is Limehouse Basin?

The depth of the Basin is variable. When it used to be a working dock it was supposed to be at least 6 metres deep and regularly dredged to keep to that standard; but this is no longer so. The Limehouse Link tunnel was made deep enough to give a minimum draft of 3 metres for canal barges. At the Thames entrance lock the depth over the sills is also 3 metres.

## Wildlife

According to the Canal & River Trust

> Limehouse Basin sits at the junction of three important 'green corridors'. The River Thames, Regent's Canal and Limehouse Cut all meet here, each providing a green highway along which wildlife can move around the built up area.

Birds that live there or are regular visitors include coots, moorhen, geese, black headed gulls, ducks (including red-crested pochards), cormorants, common tern, grey heron, and the occasional kingfisher. There is usually a pair of nesting mute swans.

Fish include bream, roach, pike and occasional eels.

In some hot seasons a "green carpet" descends from the canals and can cover much of the Basin. This is not "algae", but duckweed. While it can be a nuisance on canals, it is harmless to humans and is an important high-protein food source for waterfowl.

## In literature and broadcasting

*Maidens' Trip* (1948) by Emma Smith describes the wartime experiences of three "dainty young girls" who, as part of their national service, volunteered to load and navigate barges from Limehouse Basin to Birmingham and back — with only a bucket for a lavatory. Recalled Smith:

> 1944 was the year the doodle-bugs were being sent over from the Continent, and the job of taking the boats down to the docks for loading and away again was like an adrenalin-fuelled dash in and out of Tom Tiddler's ground. Nobody wanted to get caught for the night in Limehouse Basin. It was said, and probably with truth, that if a bomb were to drop in the basin every boat lying there would be sucked under and sunk.

(Although no V1 flying bombs did drop into Limehouse Basin, three exploded within yards of it.)

The real canal boatmen travelled with their families, their wives giving birth on board; the babies (wrote Smith) were "little creatures who would pass their early days chained for safety to the chimney-pots".

The book was adapted for radio (1968) and television (1977).

## Archaeology

Archaeologists had an opportunity to look underground when Limehouse Basin was redeveloped. Beside the Thames lock, at Victoria Wharf, a team found the remains of an earlier dock, whose timbers they dated to 1584-5 by dendrochronology. There was evidence of shipbuilding around the time of the Spanish Armada. Coins and other finds came from as far afield as Cuba, Persia, and China.

While excavating the Basin for the Limehouse Link a 16th-century cannon was found.

Another team excavated a site on the other side of the lock. Finds showed the 16th and 17th century occupants were exceptionally wealthy men and women. "Meals were likely to be served on fine Mediterranean tableware and wine taken in glasses derived from the finest production centres of the age". The archaeologists realised it had been inhabited by retired pirates of the Caribbean, some of whom they were able to identify by name.

**Lisa Karolina Viktoria Dahlkvist** (born 6 February 1987) is a Swedish professional football midfielder who played for Umeå IK and the Sweden national team. She previously played in the Swedish Damallsvenskan for Umeå IK, Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC, Tyresö FF, and KIF Örebro, in the Norwegian Toppserien for Avaldsnes IL and in the French Division 1 Féminine for Paris Saint-Germain.

Dahlkvist made her Sweden women's national football team debut in 2008 and has accrued more than 130 caps. She represented her country at the 2011 and 2015 FIFA Women's World Cups, the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, as well as the 2009, 2013 and 2017 editions of the UEFA Women's Championship. Her father, Sven "Dala" Dahlkvist, played for AIK and won 39 caps for the Sweden men's team between 1979 and 1985.

## Club career

After one season in KIF Örebro's Damallsvenskan team, 18-year-old Dahlkvist signed for national champions Umeå IK in December 2005. She found the adjustment to a higher standard of football difficult and was close to quitting Umeå on several occasions during the first two seasons. After settling into the team Dahlkvist developed into one of Sweden's best central midfielders, winning three Damallsvenskan titles with the club.

Dahlkvist also played in Umeå's two UEFA Women's Cup final defeats in 2007 and 2008. She scored a penalty in the away leg of the 2008 final.

In autumn 2009 Dahlkvist decided to leave Umeå and received offers from leading Damallsvenkan clubs Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC and Linköpings FC. She accepted the offer from Göteborg. When Dahlkvist's contract expired in 2011, Göteborg wanted to keep her, but she was linked with a transfer to league champions Malmö. Instead she decided to join big spending Tyresö FF on a two-year contract.

Tyresö won the Damallsvenskan title for the first time in the 2012 season and Dahlkvist collected her fourth league winner's medal, in addition to three won with Umeå. Dahlkvist and Tyresö were upset in the final of the Svenska Cupen, by her former club Göteborg who won 2–1 after extra time. Dahlkvist started Tyresö's 4–3 defeat by Wolfsburg in the 2014 UEFA Women's Champions League Final. Her first-half collision with Wolfsburg's Lena Goeßling left the German playing with a bandaged facial injury.

Tyresö suffered a financial collapse in 2014 and withdrew from the 2014 Damallsvenskan season, expunging all their results and making all their players free agents. The Stockholm County Administrative Board published the players' salaries, showing Dahlkvist was one of the higher earners at SEK 39 000 per month.

Former club Umeå were not interested in re-signing Dahlkvist, claiming they already had better players than her. Dahlkvist told the *Expressen* newspaper that salary was of secondary importance and she was prepared to take a pay cut in order to join the right team. In July 2014 she agreed to join Norwegian Toppserien club Avaldsnes IL, who also made an unsuccessful attempt to sign her former Tyresö teammate Marta.

After the ending of the 2014 season Dahlkvist chose to leave Avaldsnes IL, returning to Sweden's Damallsvenskan and KIF Örebro, the club that she played for at the beginning of her senior career. After just half a season back at Örebro, Dahlkvist moved on again, joining compatriots Caroline Seger and Kosovare Asllani at Paris Saint-Germain Féminine of the French Division 1 Féminine.

## International career

Coach Thomas Dennerby gave Dahlkvist her senior Sweden debut on 12 February 2008, a 2–0 win over England in Cyprus. She attended the 2008 Beijing Olympics as one of the squad's reserve players and had been considered for the main squad when the more experienced midfielder Caroline Seger had a pre-tournament injury scare.

The following year, Dahlkvist was included in the main squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2009 in Finland. She started all three matches and performed well as Sweden topped their group, but was dropped to the substitutes' bench for the 3–1 quarter-final defeat by Norway, making way for Nilla Fischer.

In June 2011 Sweden included Dahlkvist in their squad for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup. She was a notable success at the tournament, scoring in three successive games: the only goal in Sweden's second group match against North Korea; putting the Swedes ahead from a penalty kick against the United States; and adding a goal in the 3–1 quarter-final win over Australia. Her three goals led all Swedish players in the tournament.

Sweden finished third after losing their semi-final to Japan in Frankfurt then beating France 2–1 in Sinsheim. Third place in the World Cup also ensured Sweden's qualification for the 2012 Olympic football tournament in England. Dennerby kept Dahlkvist in Sweden's squad for the games, where they lost to France in the quarter-finals. Dahlkvist's form had dipped since the previous year's World Cup.

During the build up to UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden, Dahlkvist recognised that new coach Pia Sundhage preferred Caroline Seger and Marie Hammarström as the national team's first choice central midfield pairing. Despite questionable fitness Dahlkvist was included in Sweden's squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada. Sundhage described the decision as "a gamble" and hoped Dahlkvist could rediscover the excellent form she had shown at the previous World Cup four years earlier. At the finals, Sweden drew all three of their group stage matches against Nigeria, United States, and Australia. They were eliminated in the round of 16 after losing 4–1 to Germany.

Dahlkvist remained with the squad for the 2016 Rio Olympics, where Sweden took home the Silver Medal. Though she did not score during the run of play, she was the final taker for Sweden in penalty shoot-outs in both the Quarter-Final match against the USA and the Semi-Final match against hosts Brazil. Her penalty kicks were successful in both contests.

## Playing style

Dahlkvist is a central midfield player whose main strength is her range of passing. UEFA.com wrote that Dahlkvist also reads the game well and takes responsibility during matches, a trait apparent even when she was a youngster. During the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, the *Dagens Nyheter* newspaper described the industrious Dahlkvist as a "tough workhorse in both defence and attack". She is seen as a player who thrives on the big occasion and won praise for calmly converting her 2011 World Cup penalty past the United States' celebrated goalkeeper Hope Solo, a feat she repeated in the Rio Olympics.

## Personal life

Dahlkvist identifies as a lesbian and came out publicly in 2008. She's married and has a daughter.

# Lisa Lampanelli

**Lisa Lampanelli** (born **Lisa Marie Lampugnale**; July 19, 1961) is an American former stand-up comedian, actress, and insult comic.

## Early life and journalism career

Lampanelli was born in Trumbull, Connecticut, to a middle-class family. Three of her grandparents were of Italian descent, and the fourth of Polish ancestry. Her mother, Gloria (née Velgot), worked for the local police department, where "she typed in all the arrests made", and her father, Leonard Lampugnale, worked for Sikorsky Aircraft and later became a painter. Lampanelli attended Roman Catholic schools, studied journalism at Boston College and Syracuse University, and attended the Radcliffe Publishing Course.

She worked as a copy editor at *Popular Mechanics* and an assistant at *Rolling Stone*. She was also a fact checker and the first chief of research for *Spy* magazine; a book about *Spy* describes her then as "your average decked-out-heavy-metal-head-next-door." Speaking later to *Maxim Magazine Online*, Lampanelli remarked, "I was a real journalist for *Rolling Stone*, *Spy*, *Hit Parader*. I interviewed those fuckin' hair bands: Cinderella, Slaughter."

## Career

### Comedy

Lampanelli began her stand-up career in New York in the early 1990s. She had a break-out role at the 2002 New York Friars' Club roast of Chevy Chase, and went on to participate in the roasts of Denis Leary, Pamela Anderson, Jeff Foxworthy, Flavor Flav, William Shatner, David Hasselhoff, and Donald Trump and to serve as Roastmaster for Larry the Cable Guy. Lampanelli was frequently on the dais for *The Howard Stern Show* roasts, including appearances at the roasts for Gary Dell'Abate, Artie Lange, Andy Dick, and A&E's "Gene Simmons Roast" in April 2008.

Lampanelli released a comedy special on DVD entitled *Take it Like A Man* in 2005, appeared in the 2006 motion picture *Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector*, and had a cameo appearance in the VH1 sitcom *So NoTORIous*. She also landed a deal with Fox for a sitcom pilot with the tentative title *Big Loud Lisa*, which was considered a candidate for the network's 2006–07 television season. Lampanelli taped her stand-up special *Dirty Girl* in the fall of 2006, which aired on Comedy Central on January 28, 2007. Her *Dirty Girl* CD and *Dirty Girl—No Protection* DVD were released by Warner Bros./Jack Records on January 30, 2007. Lampanelli was also featured in the movie *Delta Farce* starring Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and D.J. Qualls, which was released early in 2008, and in *Drillbit Taylor* starring Owen Wilson.

Her style of humor was influenced most by the Dean Martin roasts that televised when she was growing up; she did not start watching other stand-up comedians until she became one herself.

On November 21, 2008, in Santa Rosa, California, Lampanelli taped her first one-hour HBO Special at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. The special, *Lisa Lampanelli: Long Live the Queen*, which aired January 31, 2009, was directed by Dave Higby, who also directed her *Dirty Girl* special. In December 2010 she reunited with Higby when he directed her *Tough Love* special for Comedy Central that aired in the spring of 2011. Her one-woman show, *Bring Back the Fat Chick*, debuted on Broadway in 2012.

In May 2012, she headlined at the Night of a Thousand Gowns, a huge charity gala in NYC, where she also filmed a cameo for Adam Barta's new "Q&A" music video.

Lampanelli's album *Back to the Drawing Board* was nominated for Best Comedy Album at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards.

### Retirement from comedy

Lampanelli underwent gastric-sleeve surgery in 2012, and lost over 100 pounds. She reported the change made her reevaluate many things in her life, she amicably divorced her husband, and introduced him to the woman he ultimately married.

Lampanelli also started to think that her insult comedy was being misunderstood by some, when she did not intend to be hurtful to anyone. On October 30, 2018, she announced her retirement from stand-up comedy on *The Howard Stern Show* in order to become a life coach. She still does storytelling events, which she describes as "heartfelt but funny," in which she talks about her journey with food and weight.

### *The Celebrity Apprentice 5*

Lampanelli was a contestant on *The Celebrity Apprentice 5* (also known as *The Apprentice 12*). She was criticized by viewers and had numerous outbursts and clashes with other contestants, including Victoria Gotti, Arsenio Hall, Lou Ferrigno, and (particularly) Dayana Mendoza. Lampanelli refused to apologize for her treatment of other contestants and racist remarks about Hispanics.  In spite of her behavior and relations with other contestants, she raised $130,000 for Gay Men's Health Crisis winning two out of three of the challenges she took on as Project Manager. Lampanelli was fired on May 6, 2012, during the Final Four interview because John Rich and Marlee Matlin thought she was overly emotional.

## Books

It Books (HarperCollins) is the publisher of Lampanelli's memoir, *Chocolate, Please: My Adventures in Food, Fat, and Freaks* (2009). *Publishers Weekly* reviewed:

> After more than 30 pages on her search for the "perfect black man," Lampanelli moves on to outline her standup career, from handling hecklers to doing *The Tonight Show*... Seeking the roots of her humor, she recalls her childhood as an "attention whore": "Eating to get attention is a behavior that I continued into my high school days." She follows her memories of "fat rehab" with a variety of topics, from the Virgin Mary to vegans. Much is quite funny, and Lampanelli never pulls her punches. Despite her raw language and raucous writing, honest reflections and stark self-insights emerge as she probes her past.

## Personal life

Lampanelli married in 1991 and divorced soon afterward. She married Jimmy Cannizzaro, a former tavern owner from Valley Stream, New York, on October 2, 2010, at the New York Friars' Club. In May 2014, she filed for divorce from Cannizzaro after three and a half years of marriage.

Lampanelli is a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. When members of the Westboro Baptist Church planned to protest against a show she held on May 20, 2011, in Topeka, Kansas, she promised to donate $1,000 to Gay Men's Health Crisis (the same charity she contributed to during *The Celebrity Apprentice*) for every protester that attended. After an initial count of 44 protesters, she rounded up the donation to an even $50,000, crediting the donation as being "made possible by the WBC."

# Lisandro Otero

**Lisandro Otero González** (June 4, 1932 – January 3, 2008) was a Cuban novelist and journalist.

## Background

Born in Havana, Cuba, Otero won Cuba's National Prize in Literature in 2002 and was the director of Cuban Academy of Language from October 2004 until his death. He also was a member of The Royal Academy of Spanish Language and the North American Academy of the Spanish Language. Graduating with degrees of Journalism and Philosophy and Letters in 1954 at the Havana University, he also studied at The Sorbonne in Paris. (1954–1956).

Major publications of the country such as *Revolución*, *Cuba Magazine* and *Revolución y Cultura* have been directed by him. He has written for publications such as *Bohemia*, *Carteles*, *Granma*, *Juventud Rebelde*, *El Mundo*, *Casa de las Américas*, *Unión*, *La Gaceta de Cuba de Cuba*, *Le Monde Diplomatique*, *Partisans*, *Europe*, *The Washington Post* and *Excelsior*.

Otero won the Novel Prize in Casa de las Américas Contest in 1963 with *La situación (The Situation)*.

In the early 1990s Otero voiced his opinion of his native Cuba thus: "In the early 1980s I was in the diplomatic corps in the Soviet Union. The situation was dreadful -- long lines, shabby housing, no bread, little food. 'Yes,' they'd acknowledge. 'But we have the Bolshoi Ballet, the best in the world!' Well, now --'Yes, but we have the best amateur baseball team in the world!'"

Otero has received the National Prize of Journalism in Cuba, the Félix Elmuza Order, the Medal for Fighter of Clandestine Struggle, the Commemorative Medal for the Thirtieth Anniversary of the Cuban Armed Forces and the Alejo Carpentier Medal.
