# Marsh Mill

**Marsh Mill** is an 18th-century tower windmill in Thornton, Lancashire, England. It was built in 1794 by Ralph Slater for local landowner Bold Hesketh. It functioned as a corn mill until the 1920s and has been fully restored. It is a good example of a complete English windmill and has been designated a Grade II\* listed building.

## History

Marsh Mill was commissioned by local landowner Bold Fleetwood Hesketh of Rossall Hall and built in 1794 by Fylde millwright Ralph Slater. Marsh Mill was named after the marshy area in the north Fylde that was drained by Hesketh for the mill's construction. Slater was a well-known millwright in the area; he also built mills at Pilling and Clifton. The mill was initially used to grind different grades of flour. From the early 19th century, it was used to grind meal for farm animal feed. In the 19th century, the original chain and wheel winding gear was replaced with a four bladed fantail. The original common sails were replaced with patent sails in 1896. The mill stopped working in the 1920s. From 1928 to 1935 Marsh Mill functioned as a café. In 1930, two women who intended to buy the mill fell and died while inspecting it when the fantail staging collapsed when they stood on it.

It was designated a Grade II\* listed building on 24 March 1950. The Grade II\* designation—the second highest of the three grades—is for "particularly important buildings of more than special interest". Beginning in 1965, a 20-year restoration took place by the Marsh Mill Preservation Society. Further restoration was completed in 1990, bringing the machinery to full working order. It has been described as the "best preserved" and "finest" windmill in the north-west of England. English Heritage have called it "an exceptionally complete example of a tower windmill in a national context".

## Structure

Marsh Mill is built of rendered brick; it is more than 70 feet (21 m) tall and has five storeys. The tower tapers and it has plain square windows. There is a two-storey kiln house attached. The ground floor and first floor are storage areas and have drying rooms. The second floor is the meal floor. It contains corn-dressing machinery. At the second floor, there is an external wooden stage that encircles the tower and is supported by stone corbels at the first floor level. This staging gives access to the sails.

The third floor is the stone floor, which contains four sets of millstones. The top floor is the dust floor. Like many Fylde windmills, the tower is topped with a boat-shaped wooden cap. It now has a "Lees Flyer" fantail.

# Municipal Offices, High Wycombe

The **Municipal Offices** are located on Queen Victoria Road in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. The structure is used as the High Wycombe local area office of Buckinghamshire Council.

## History

Since the town became a municipal borough, under the name of Chepping Wycombe, on 1 January 1836, the borough council had always held its meetings in the 18th century guildhall in the High Street, whilst the council's staff were accommodated in various rented offices around the town.

When the council decided to proceed with building its own municipal offices and council chamber in the early 1930s, it chose not to use the site north of High Wycombe Town Hall which had been reserved for that purpose in the 1903 design for that building. Instead, it built a separate building on the opposite side of Queen Victoria Road, facing the town hall. The new building was designed by Richard Greaves Brocklehurst and Charles Cowles-Voysey in the neo-Georgian style. The foundation stone for the new building was laid on 16 May 1931 and it was officially opened on 21 June 1932, being given the name "Municipal Offices".

The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with eleven bays facing onto Queen Victoria Road. The central section of five bays, which slightly projected forward, featured a doorway with an architrave flanked by sash windows on either side; there was a full-length wrought iron balcony together with five French doors with architraves on the first floor. The wing sections featured doorways with architraves in the central bays and there were sash windows with keystones in the other bays on the ground floor and in the bays on the first floor. At roof level, each of the three sections had its own hipped roof with the central roof advanced from the wing sections. Internally, the principal room was the council chamber. The architects were awarded a bronze medal by the Royal Institute of British Architects for the design of the municipal offices.

High Wycombe Borough Council was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972. The successor body, Wycombe District Council, used the municipal offices as its headquarters, substantially extending the building to the rear and renaming it the "District Council Offices". Following further local government reorganisation in 2020, the building became the High Wycombe local area office of Buckinghamshire Council.

text:
# 167th Infantry Regiment (United States)

The **167th Infantry Regiment** (nicknamed **"4th Alabama"**) is an infantry regiment of the Alabama National Guard.

## History

The 167th Infantry Regiment traces its lineage to 1836. During the early nineteenth century, it served primarily as state troops but was called into federal service during the Seminole Wars and the Mexican–American War.

During the American Civil War, it mustered on the side of the Confederacy at Dalton, Georgia and fought as part of the Alabama Brigade in the Second Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Antietam, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, the Wilderness, and Spotsylvania Court House. The unit surrendered in Appomattox on April 12, 1865 with 202 men. A total of 1,422 men had served with it over the course of the war. Approximately 240 died in battle and 100 of disease. It was known as the 4th Alabama Infantry Regiment when state militias were reorganized as National Guard troops in 1898 and 1899.

In 1916, the unit was stationed along the Mexican border to guard against Pancho Villa's bandits. Its efforts were not entirely effective, but the experience conditioned the troops for future combat in World War I. In preparation for the upcoming war, the 4th Alabama was recalled to Montgomery and assigned guard duties at various strategic sites.

### World War I

On August 15, 1917, the 4th Alabama was federalized as the 167th Infantry Regiment and joined other similar units to form the 42nd "Rainbow" Division. The 167th embarked for Liverpool, England and from there moved to Le Havre, France to fight in World War I. By February 1918, it had completed most of its trainings and began entering the front lines.

During the following nine months, the unit participated in five major operations. It helped turn back a last-ditch German offensive during the Second Battle of the Marne and push back German forces near the town of Chateau-Thierry. Its fiercest fighting occurred in July 1918 during the Battle of Soissons against German strong points at the Croix Blanche and Croix Rouge farms in Aisne. The regiment forced a German retreat and secured a crossing over the river Ourcq, which helped Allied troops dislodge entrenched Germans from their positions in France. Due to poor planning and coordination, the victory came at a heavy cost for the 167th, which lost over 160 men. The commander of the supporting 168th Infantry and the commander of 84th Brigade, higher HQ of the 167th, were both relieved of their duty. Soldiers of the 167th were subsequently recognized for their actions and service, and a memorial to the 42nd Division was established there in 2011–12.

### Inter-war period

The 167th was part of the occupying force after the war ended. The regiment arrived at the port of New York on 25 April 1919 on the USS North Carolina and was demobilized on 19 May 1919 at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. The 167th Infantry was reconstituted in the National Guard in 1921 pursuant to the National Defense Act of 1920 and was allotted to the state of Alabama. It was concurrently relieved from the 42nd Division and assigned to the 39th Division. It was reorganized on 16 December 1921 by redesignation of the 4th Infantry, Alabama National Guard (organized 1 July 1919). The regimental headquarters was organized on 10 April 1922 and federally recognized at Montgomery, Alabama. The regiment was relieved from the 39th Division on 1 July 1923 and assigned to the 31st Division. The regimental headquarters was successively relocated to Birmingham, Alabama, September 1929, and to Gadsden, Alabama, 11 January 1932.

The regiment, or elements thereof, was called up to perform the following state duties: 3rd Battalion performed riot control during a railroad workers’ strike at Birmingham, 4 August 1922–4 January 1923; performed border guard duty along the Florida state line in connection with the Mediterranean fruit fly quarantine, April–July 1929; 3rd Battalion performed riot duty in connection with criminal trials at Eufaula, Alabama, July 1929, and Montgomery, February–March 1930; Company C performed a man-hunt and captured bank robbers in Dallas County, Alabama, in December 1930; 2nd Battalion performed escort duty for the defendants of the Scottsboro trials in Scottsboro, Alabama, 5–9 April 1931; 3rd Battalion performed escort duty in connection with protecting black prisoners against race riots in Birmingham, 2–4 October 1931; 2nd Battalion performed tornado relief at Northport, Alabama, 21–23 March 1932; several companies performed riot control during a workers’ strike at cotton mills in Anniston, Alabama, in May 1933; 1st Battalion performed escort duty in connection with protecting black prisoners in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, July–August 1933. The regiment conducted annual summer training most years at Camp McClellan, Alabama, 1921–39.

### World War II

The 167th Regiment was assigned to the 31st "Dixie" Division during World War II and fought in the western Pacific, notably in New Guinea and the Philippines. It participated in the battles for Morotai, Sansapor, and Mindanao. For its service, the unit received the Philippine Republic Presidential Unit Citation. It remained in the theater until the end of the war in 1945.

### 1960s

During the civil rights movement, the federal government activated the 167th as a National Guard unit, twice in 1963 and once in 1965, to protect demonstrators such as the Freedom Riders.

### 21st century

#### Iraq

The 167th served in Iraq during the Second Gulf War from 2001 to 2002, in 2005, and from 2007 to 2008.

When the 1-167th Infantry Battalion deployed to Iraq in 2005, Company A was officially selected for mobilization, but additional men were drawn from Company B and C. The infantrymen's mission was focused on finding and fixing insurgents. They also provided security for the population as a whole, particularly during the 2005 Iraqi elections.

When the 1-167th Infantry Battalion deployed to Iraq in 2007, Company C was mobilized. The unit provided security escorts from the Kuwaiti border crossing throughout Iraq to all Forward Operating Bases (FOBs), including those of other countries, such as the South Korean FOB near the border with Turkey.

The largest of all 1144th Joint Logistics Task Force elements, the 4th Alabama brought 196 members to Operation Iraqi Freedom, out of the 210 members that had been activated.

#### Afghanistan

In 2012, about 600 members of the 1-167th Infantry Battalion deployed to Afghanistan to conduct security force missions in support of NATO Training Mission - Afghanistan (NTM-A), providing freedom of maneuver for NTM-A and regional support command assets.

### Commands and commanders

* William P. Screws, during the Mexican Border War and World War I
* Col. Laroy S. Graham, May 16, 1945 -

The 1-167th Infantry has been under many different higher commands, including the 31st Infantry Division, the 35th Infantry Division, the 149th Armor Brigade, the 226th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, the 31st Separate Armored Brigade, the 48th Brigade Combat Team, and the 142nd Battlefield Surveillance Brigade. The 1-167th Infantry is the 3rd maneuver battalion assigned to the 53rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team.

## Current status

In 2008, the 167th was consolidated with the 31st Cavalry Regiment.

In 2017, the state of Alabama dedicated a monument at the Union Station in Montgomery. The statue honors 167th's service as part of the 42nd "Rainbow" Division during World War I and was created by James Butler, the same sculptor who had made a similar sculpture for the Croix Rouge Farm memorial in France in 2011–12.

The unit has been headquartered at Talladega, Alabama with companies in Tuscaloosa, Pelham, Cullman, Calera, and Oxford.

## Symbols

### Insignia and coat of arms

The five fleurs-de-lis on the unit's coat of arms symbolize the five major operations it participated in during World War I. Its engagement at La Croix Rouge Farm is represented by the embattled red cross. The coat of arms was approved in 1923. In 1971, thirteen stars were added to symbolize the battles the unit fought during the Civil War. The insignia was approved that same year.

### The 4th Alabama tab

The tab was created to honor the 1-167th's Civil War history as the 4th Alabama Regiment, lineage acknowledged by its officially recognized 4th Alabama special designation.

# Menxia Sheng

The **Menxia Sheng** (), sometimes translated as the **Chancellery**, was one of the departments of the Three Departments and Six Ministries government structure of imperial China. It advised the emperor and the *Zhongshu Sheng* (Central Secretariat), and reviewed edicts and commands. As the least important of the three departments, it existed in name only by the Song dynasty while its functions were delegated to the other two departments. In 1129, the Chancellery was merged with the Central Secretariat.

## Origin

The Chancellery was originally the Court of Attendants in the Han dynasty (206 BC – 9 AD), which oversaw all palace attendants. It was not until the Cao Wei and Jin dynasty (266–420) era that the institution of Chancellery was formalized. The Chancellery was led by a Director (*menxia shizhong* 門下侍中), with assistance from a gentleman attendant at the palace gate (*Huangmen shilang* 黃門侍郎 or *jishi Huangmen shilang* 給事黃門侍郎), later called Vice Director (*menxia shilang* 門下侍郎). They were responsible for advising the emperor and providing consultation prior to the issuing of edicts. During the Southern dynasties period, the Chancellery became responsible for the imperial coaches, medicine, provisions and the stables. During the Sui dynasty (581-618), it also became responsible for the city gates, the imperial seals, the wardrobe and the palace administration. These new external duties were reduced in the Tang dynasty (618-907) to just the city gates, the insignia, and the Institute for the Advancement of Literature. The Tang assigned several lower-ranking officials to the Chancellery to make records for the imperial diary.

## History

The Tang called the Chancellery, headed by the Grand Chancellor, a number of different names such as the Eastern Terrace (*Dongtai* 東臺) or the Phoenix Terrace (*Luantai* 鸞臺). In cases where the Vice Directors of the Chancellery or Central Secretariat were officiating as Grand Chancellor, a supervising secretary (*jishizhong*), took over their work in the Chancellery. The position of supervising secretary originated in the Department of State Affairs, from where they were transferred to the Chancellery in the early Tang period. They were responsible for studying the drafts of memorials and implementing corrections before they were presented to the emperor.

The Chancellery began to decline in significance during the mid-Tang period as it competed in political power with the Central Secretariat. Ultimately control over the flow and content of court documents shifted over to the Central Secretariat. By the 9th century, the Chancellery was only responsible for the imperial seals, court ceremonies and the imperial altars. Some of its officials took care of lists of state examinees and household registers of state officials, while others were assigned to resubmit documents. Many of the associated titles were purely honorifics.

The Chancellery continued to exist in name only during the Song dynasty (960–1279), while its functions were carried out by the Central Secretariat and the Department of State Affairs. For example, the Left Vice Director of the Department of State Affairs was concurrently Director of the Chancellery. The Chancellery was reorganized into several different sections: personnel, revenue, military, rites, justice, works, the secretary's office, the office for ministerial routine memorandums, and finally the proclamations archive. In 1129, the Chancellery was merged with the Central Secretariat and became the Secretariat-Chancellery (*zhongshu menxia* 中書門下, shortened *zhongshu* 中書) or Administration Chamber (*zhengshitang*).

The Chancellery was also used in the Liao dynasty and the Jurchen Jin dynasty. In the Jin dynasty, it was abolished in 1156. The Mongol dominated Yuan dynasty decided not to revive the institution.

If only they were all put together in a more coherent and a consistent manner" The Times of India wrote: "Its premise is filled with the promise of a madcap film that could also serve as a commentary on the industry's follies. But what we get is an amateurish comedy that is only infrequently funny and often exasperating".

title: Music for Pleasure (record label)

abstract: Music for Pleasure and Classics for Pleasure (CFP) were British record labels that issued budget-priced albums of popular and classical music respectively. Albums were subsequently released under the MFP label in Australia (MFP-A) and South Africa. MFP was set up in 1965 as a joint venture between EMI, which provided the source material, and the publisher Paul Hamlyn, which handled distribution in so-called non-traditional outlets, such as W.H. Smith, the booksellers. The MFP catalogue consisted of both original material and reissues of existing EMI recordings, including records by "name" artists such as Kenny Rogers, the Beach Boys, Blondie, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, the Animals and the Beatles. Original material included studio recordings of successful West End musicals, the first of which were recorded secretly for EMI by the young independent producer David Gooch who was given carte blanche to select three productions: these were South Pacific, Carousel and The Sound of Music, the last of which sold 250,000 copies. These albums were also manufactured for the Regal label in Canada. Some years later, they were re-recorded by Norman Newell. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, MFP became the major budget-priced label in the UK, the label being run by Alec Sharman. Other notable sub-labels which were part of MFP included Classics for Pleasure (CFP) managed by Patricia Byrne, Listen for Pleasure (LFP) managed by Roger Godbald, a spoken word label and 'Fame' managed by Peter O'Cain which re-issued classic rock and pop albums from Queen, Paul McCartney, Marillion, and other successful EMI artists. All the labels moved from vinyl to cassette and finally to CDs, but when the CD market slowed in the mid-1990s MFP struggled to maintain sales in line with what was expected by the owner company EMI Records, so in 1995 the management team which had been led so successfully by Roger Woodhead was re-structured and Music for Pleasure became a sub label of the newly launched EMI Gold headed up by Paul Holland. The label continued with some measure of success with releases from classic artists such as Shirley Bassey, Nat King Cole, Cliff Richard, Dean Martin and even Classic Sing-A-Long Party CDs. In 1999 when Paul Holland left to join Granada, Steve Woof took over the running of the label. Steve Woof and Jackie Fisher worked with an associated record label to MFP, EMI GOLD. EMI Gold released a record on the MFP label in 1996. It was a project to capitalise on the success of the Easy Listening success of Mike Flowers Pops. The record was called "Cheesy Easy Listening: The Britpop Years" Performed by a made up artist "Geoff Parnell". Steve Deakin Davies was Geoff Parnell and the record was performed and produced for EMI by Steve Deakin Davies. It was a rare attempt by EMI Gold to put out a record reflecting current market tastes.

Steve Deakin Davies had a 4 album contract with EMI and he performed and produced the following albums. Father Liam's Irish Mist. This was originally going to be Father Ted's Irish Mist. Monsta Mash. EMI Gold released a Monsta Mash CD featuring the "Monsta Hokey Cokey" written and produced by Steve Deakin-Davies of "The Ambition Company". The final album Geoff Parnell "Have you seen this man?" was never released. The affiliated label Disky from the Netherlands was also licensed to re-release various EMI and King Biscuit Flower Hour releases in Europe. The Fame label reissued several Beatles, Pink Floyd and related albums in the 1980s. The MFP label was briefly revived by EMI as a budget reissue label in the UK. One release was of Frank Sinatra. The subsequent sale of EMI to several competitors quietly ended MFP by 2012.

## Public perception

Similar in business model to the American Pickwick Records it would often attract attention due to the sound-alike records it produced.

## Notable releases

* The Pink Floyd compilation *Relics* was reissued on the MFP label as MFP 50397. It originally appeared on sister budget label Starline in the UK.
* Adamo compilation *The Number One Continental Singer* printed in 1967 UK - MFP label as MFP 1332.
* Kenny Rogers's second solo album was issued on MFP in the late 1980s, after the United Artists/Liberty labels deleted a lot of their albums. This was one of the few albums from that label to remain in print.
* Roger Whitaker released a record of children's songs titled *The Magical World of Roger Whitaker* that contained his well-known version of "Puff the Magic Dragon".
* The Beatles compilation double album, *Rock 'n' Roll Music*, was reissued on the Music for Pleasure label in 1980 as two separate single albums (MFP 50506 and MFP 50507). The live album *The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl* was reissued on MFP in 1984.
* Several solo Beatles albums were issued on MFP: John Lennon's *Mind Games* and *Rock 'n' Roll*; George Harrison's *Dark Horse* and *The Best of George Harrison*, and Ringo Starr's *Ringo* and *Blast from Your Past*.
* The Beach Boys album *Pet Sounds* was released on MFP in Australia as *The Fabulous Beach Boys* (MFP A8090). *Smiley Smile* was also released as *The Beach Boys* or *Good Vibrations* (MFP A8138) the following year.
* In 1971, MFP issued compilations of the work of producer Mickie Most including *The Most of The Animals* (MFP 5218) and *The Most of Herman's Hermits* (MFP 5216). Both of these albums reached the top 20, the Herman's Hermits album becoming their highest-charting album in the UK.
* The 1972 MFP compilation *Spirit Of Rock: The Probe Sampler* contained licensed recordings from the Probe label, notably including the song "Dallas" by Steely Dan, which never appeared on an album or compilation. It was only otherwise available as a promo single at the time and years later on the EP Plus Fours. The cover of *Spirit Of Rock* claims that the song is taken from their first album *Can't Buy A Thrill*, but it was ultimately not included by the time the album came out later that year. The included version of Dallas is a fake stereo version made from the mono single version, and this mix remains exclusive to the compilation to this day.
* In 1973 Telltale released a full version of their intro song from Thames Television's *Rainbow*
* In parallel with the *Top of the Pops* albums issued by Pickwick, MFP issued a series of LPs in the early 1970s containing anonymous cover versions of current hits. Called *Hot Hits*, the series ran to 20 before folding. They were eligible for listing in the UK LP charts for a few months in 1971, and four charted: Volume 5 registered for a solitary week at number 48 as sales were dwindling; Volume 6 topped the album charts for a week in August, and volumes 7 and 8 peaked at 3 and 2 respectively. Thereafter the albums were disqualified again. MFP also issued a plethora of spin-offs based on the "hits" theme (e.g. "Smash Hits", "Hit Hits", "Soul Hits" MFP 1280, "Million Seller Hits" etc.) "Hot Hits 6" remains MFP's most successful release on chart, and their only number 1 album. One compilation which was of good quality is called *Junior Hits*. It contained songs by Jimmy Webb and Rolf Harris and sold well in 1970.
* In 1980, MFP released the song "There's No One Quite Like Grandma" by the St Winifred's School Choir.
* The label also claimed a first by releasing *Sinatra Sings Music For Pleasure* featuring tracks from Frank Sinatra's Capitol albums.

# Pine Taiapa

**Pineamine "Pine" Taiapa** (19011972) was a notable New Zealand wood carver, farmer, rehabilitation officer, writer and genealogist. He was one of the first students of the School of Māori Arts in Rotorua under Āpirana Ngata. As a carver he was part of over ninety-nine wharenui (Māori meeting houses) around New Zealand.

## Biography

Taiapa was born in Tikitiki, East Coast, New Zealand in 1901, to Tamati Taiapa and Maraea Iritawa Taiapa (née Potae). Of Māori descent, he identified with the Ngati Porou iwi. His secondary school education was at Te Aute College in Hawkes Bay.

His earliest carving teacher was master-carver Hone Ngatoto who invited him to work alongside him on the Tikitiki War Memorial Church. The building of this memorial St Mary's church in Tikitiki was instigated by Ngāti Porou leader Āpirana Ngata in the early 1920s and is regarded as 'one of the most beautiful Māori churches in New Zealand'.

Taiapa went on to be one of the first students under Āpirana Ngata at the School of Māori Arts in Rotorua in 1927 which became the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute. Between 1947 and 1940 Taiapa worked on over sixty wharenui (meeting houses). Taiapa was then a soldier in World War II, part of the Māori Battalion. On his return he went back to carving and worked on a further thirty-nine wharenui.

## Personal life and death

He married Mereaira Te Ruawai Taiapa, by whom he had a child. His younger brother Hone Taiapa was also a carver. He died in Tikitiki on 9 February 1972, age 70.

A few hundred years ago the area was swamp, moor and fen, hence the name for the settlement Vennhausen, which is derived from "Venn", a Low German word for fen.
Vennhausen became a settlement much later than its neighbouring boroughs, starting in the Tannenhof.
In 1809 Vennhausen became a part of the communal district of Gerresheim due to the Napoleonic area reforms at that time. In 1872 Vennhausen got its own railway station which helped with the transportation of workers, who had settled in Vennhausen, to and from the factories in Gerresheim and Eller. The station was closed in the 1970s. In 1909 Vennhausen became a part of Düsseldorf. Vennhausen is a green part of Düsseldorf, especially the neighboring Eller Forst and the Unterbacher See The later has two beaches which are popular recreational areas of Düsseldorf.

## History

Business and commerce classes had been taught at Notre Dame since its foundation, and already in 1853 there was a Mercantile Department. The teaching of business was yet fragmented for many years, with the Department disappearing from 1856 to 1860, and then being reformulated as a Two-year Commercial Course in 1863. This course taught Book-keeping, Penmanship, Arithmetic, Algebra, English Grammar and Composition, Elocution, Geography, History, German, Business Practice, and Commercial Law and was stable for several years. In 1905, it was renamed Commercial School and it became a one-year program. In 1910 meanwhile, the program was inserted into the preparatory school curriculum and became a for year course. Meanwhile, in 1913, a proper Department of Commerce was established within the College of Arts and Letters. This included several courses on secretarial and business work but also training for managerial and executive positions. The main program offered was a four-year Bachelor of Philosophy in Commerce, with classes in accounting for four semesters, with additional classes in money, credit and banking, public finance, economic development in the United States, railway transportation, industrial organization and combination, insurance, and Business Law. Additional coursework included several foreign languages, economics, philosophy, politics, labor problem, American government, and elocution. In 1917, Notre Dame became the first university to launch a four-year course in Foreign Commerce.

The real beginning of the school was on 20 April 1921, when the department was removed from the College of Arts and Letters and became the separate **College of Commerce**. The first dean of the college was John Francis O'Hara (who later became the president of the University and a Cardinal). O'Hara (who himself had spearheaded the new Foreign Commerce) was inspired by his knowledge of business. He had studied at Wharton and of the history and culture Latin America (where he had lived following his ambassador father). He hoped to place Notre Dame and its graduates in the burgeoning trade and growing economic power between North and South America. In 1921, the college had about 400 students and 13 faculty. Under O'Hara's diligent leadership, the school soon offered 85 classes in 5 departments (accounting, marketing, transportation, finance, foreign trade) and his efforts, together with a societal trend towards valuing business education to obtain a job, made the College tie the College of Arts and Letters as the most numerous already in 1922, with over 500 students. Despite the criticism that the college's education was becoming too commercialized and vocational, O'Hara still maintained a liberal arts theme in the business courses and retained language, philosophy, political science, and history classes. O'Hara'ambitious goals (which included a graduate school and major program in foreign commerce) were cut short by lack of funding.

In 1924, James E. McCarthy succeeded O'Hara as Dean, a post he would keep till in 1955. McCarthy, who was born in Holyoke in 1896 and graduated from Columbia in 1916, was an outspoken advocate of free trade and was well acquainted with many of the nation's leading businessmen and CEOs. During his tenure, the College rose greatly in prominence and visibility, hugely increased its number and quality of courses, and became the University's largest academic division increasing from 500 to 1500 students. In 1933, Chicago businessman Edward N. Hurley donated $200,000 for a new building for the college, which was named Hurley Hall. O'Hara had been pursuing Hurley for such donation since 1919, but the financial situation of the country had not permitted it. Hurley was a successful businessman, founder of the Hurley Machine Company, and chairman of the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Shipping Board. He had been the honorary Dean of the College since its founding and had received the Laetare Medal in 1926.

In 1954, the school opened it first masters program, tailored to men and women from religious orders. The masters evolved to become the Masters is Nonprofit Administration. In 1962, the school's name changed to become the College of Business Administration and was also accredited by the AACSB. In 1967, the school started its MBS program, with a class of 50 men from 17 states and 3 foreign countries; 1970 saw the enrollment of the first women in the program. The Hayes-Healy building opens in 1968, thanks to a gift from Ramon Hayes-Healy, offering more space for the growing college.

In 1999, the new and current building is completed. Located just southwest of the Notre Dame Stadium, it was designed following a nautical motif and nicknamed "the ship of commerce". In March 2000, the College of Business received a naming gift from NetApp, Inc. executives, Tom and Kathy Mendoza. In 2006, Notre Dame bought the Santa Fe building in Chicago, and relocated Executive MBA, MS in Finance, and MS in Business Analytics programs. In 2007, the College is one of the first signatories of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). In 2010, Mendoza was ranked as No. 1 for undergraduate business by Bloomberg Businessweek, the first of five consecutive years. In 2013, the Stayer Center for Executive Education was built with a gift from Ralph Stayer, a '65 graduate.

# Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham

The **Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham** was a metropolitan borough in the County of London between 1900 and 1965, when it became part of the London Borough of Lewisham along with the Metropolitan Borough of Deptford.

## History

The borough was formed by the London Government Act 1899 from the civil parishes of Lee from the Lee District and Lewisham from the Lewisham District. The borough also took in a small area formerly administered by Camberwell Vestry on the western slopes of Forest Hill.

While there had been minor industry along the River Ravensbourne for centuries and the extension of the railways had seen suburban development, there were still large areas of farmland at the time of the borough's formation. The next London property boom in the 1930s saw much of that farmland built upon with both private estates, and the final gaps on the roads to Kent were filled in later on with London County Council built social housing, particularly in Downham and Bellingham.

## Geography

The borough bordered Deptford, Greenwich, Camberwell, and had a portion of the southern boundary of the county of London.

Places in it included Lewisham, Blackheath, Lee, Hither Green, Catford, Brockley, Forest Hill and part of Sydenham.

## Population and area

The area of the borough was 7,015 acres (28.4 km2). The population, as recorded at the census, was:

## Coat of arms

When the borough was created in 1900, a committee was appointed to design a coat of arms. This device, adopted in the following year, included a shield, crest, supporters and motto.

The shield had four quarters. The first quarter had the attributed arms of King Alfred, first lord of the manor. The second quarter showed a white on red horse, the arms associated with Kent. The Lewisham area was part of Kent until 1889. The third quarter showed a buck's head, from the arms of the Earl of Dartmouth, lord of the manor of Lewisham in 1901. The fourth quarter featured a bear's head and *fesse* or horizontal band, from the arms of Lord Northbrook, lord of the manor of Lee in 1901.

The crest was a raven, representing the Ravensbourne river.

The supporters were a silver buck sprinkled with red stars and a bear with a gold portcullis on his shoulder. These were also derived from the arms of the Earl of Dartmouth and Lord Northbrook respectively.

The Latin motto was *Salus Populi Suprema Lex*, or "the welfare of the people is the highest law" - a motto common to many English municipalities.

In 1950, in celebration of the borough's golden jubilee, a grant of arms was obtained from the College of Arms.

The shield was greatly simplified: A Saxon crown and golden lion recalled the association of King Alfred with the area. The background of three colours recalled the three main areas of the borough: green for Lee Green, purple for Hither (or heather) Green and black for Blackheath.

The raven crest was retained, with the addition of a silver and blue wave for the Ravensbourne.

The 1901 supporters were altered to make them unique to the borough. Around their necks were placed mural crowns, representative of local government.

The motto was not changed, and was continued in use by the London Borough of Lewisham in 1965.

## Politics

The borough was divided into ten wards for elections: Blackheath, Brockley, Catford, Church, Forest Hill, Lewisham Park, Lewisham Village, Manor, South and Sydenham.

### Borough council

### Parliament constituency

For elections to Parliament, the borough was represented by one constituency:

In 1918 the borough's representation was increased to two seats:

In 1950 the borough's representation was increased to three seats:

title: Wyloo

abstract: Wyloo Station, often referred to as Wyloo and previously known as Peake, is a pastoral lease that operates as a sheep station and cattle station. It is located about 116 kilometres (72 mi) south of Pannawonica and 158 kilometres (98 mi) west of Paraburdoo in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Wyloo occupies an area of 3,280 square kilometres (1,266 sq mi) and shares boundaries with Ashburton Downs, Kooline, Mount Stuart, Rocklea and Glenflorrie Stations. Peake Station was established prior to 1897 and was trading in sheep at that time. The station was owned by the McGrath family in 1907 when the area received good rains following a cyclone hitting the coast. The Wyloo Pastoral Company was established in 1927 when the company was registered with £10,000 of capital raised on 10,000 shares. The company acquired the 548,312-acre (221,894 ha) property known as Peake Station later the same year. Peake was renamed shortly afterwards to Wyloo. George Monger was appointed manager of Wyloo and Hardey Junction Station the following year, following substantial improvements. Mervyn Forrest was a part owner of both Wyloo and Minderoo Stations in 1928. A new shearing shed was built in 1935 at Loghut, an outstation of Wyloo; the 12-stand shed put through a total of 29,000 sheep during shearing that year. In 1936 a total of 20,770 sheep were shorn after a dry season. In 1946 Wyloo was put up for auction; at the time it occupied an area of 783,805 acres (317,195 ha) and was divided into 34 paddocks with 450 miles (724 km) of fencing. About 550,000 acres (222,577 ha) was fenced for sheep with the remainder for cattle. Stock were watered by several permanent and semi-permanent waterholes along with 30 wells and 25 bores. The station had a stone homestead, men's quarters, two drafting yards and two shearing sheds. It was advertised as being capable of carrying 30,000 sheep and 2,000 cattle, but after a long drought was only carrying 2,000 sheep and 1,000 cattle. Drought conditions were experienced through the area in 1954, including one day where a temperature of 125 °F (52 °C) was recorded at Wyloo. Wyloo has been owned by the Pensini family since 1976, but the western half of the property was sold off in early 2001. The eastern half of the property, now called Cheela Plains, is a cattle station run by Evan Pensini.

title: Love & Kisses

abstract: Love & Kisses is a 1970s disco group assembled by European producer Alec Costandinos, with a variety of male and female singers. After collaborating on Cerrone's debut album Love In C Minor (1976), Costandinos assembled Love & Kisses in early 1977, and shortly after the group released their first album, Love and Kisses, which contained just two songs - and so was also classed as a double A-side single. These were "Accidental Lover" and "I Found Love", which combined orchestral sounds, classical influences and a disco arrangement. The single charted at #1 for three weeks on Billboard's disco/dance chart. The album cover has been criticized for depicting a woman with several men's hands ripping holes in her T-shirt, with one commentator writing, "Although rape is not overtly shown on this record cover, the picture conveys the impression of a gang rape about to happen." In a Billboard article about album covers depicting sex and violence against women, Casablanca Records' director of creative services admitted that he had "questions about the company's 'Love & Kisses' LP." The following year saw the release of the group's second album entitled How Much, How Much I Love You, utilizing the same basic formula. Both songs became top five disco hits. This was followed closely by the group's biggest hit, "Thank God It's Friday", the theme song from the film of the same name. It peaked at #23 R&B, #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 for six weeks on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The soundtrack, which featured Donna Summer's "Last Dance" and the Commodores "Too Hot ta Trot", was nominated for several Grammy Awards. Their third and final album, You Must Be Love was released in 1979, but met with less success. Shortly thereafter the group disassembled and later released Bap Bap.
