title: Pierre Le Guennec

abstract: Pierre Le Guennec is a retired French electrician who announced, in 2010, that he was in possession of 271 undocumented, never before seen works by Pablo Picasso that were estimated to be worth at least 60 million euros. Le Guennec, who had worked for Picasso installing burglar alarms in the early 1970s, said that the artist's second wife Jacqueline Roque had given him a trunk full of artworks as a gift, about 40 years ago. He contacted Picasso's son and heirs in September 2010 to have the works authenticated; the administrators of Picasso's estate found the works to be authentic and filed a lawsuit alleging they were received illegally. Police questioned Le Guennec and confiscated the works. He has not been charged with a crime but a judge will rule whether he can get the artworks back. The works date from 1900 to 1932 and "include lithographs, portraits, watercolors and sketches -- plus nine Cubist collages." "Among them are a richly colored hand study; a sketch of his first wife, Russian ballerina Olga Khokhlova, resting an elbow in a seated pose; and a collage of a pipe and bottle." Geneviève Laporte described acts of extraordinary generosity by her former lover Picasso. He is known to have given paintings and sketches to his chauffeur, favorite doctors, merchants and his barber. Picasso's heirs claimed that the artist would not have given that many works to a workman not known to be among his friends, and that, further, he always dedicated, dated and signed his gifts. Pepita Dupont, who wrote a book about Jacqueline Roque, called her "generosity itself". Maurice Bresnu, Picasso's driver and friend, also had a large collection of works by Picasso and was accused of theft by Picasso's heirs. Bresnu's niece claimed that he had openly admitted the theft to her. He also said that he had gotten Pierre Le Guennec, a first cousin of Bresnu's wife, into Picasso's house. In 2015 Pierre Le Guennec was found guilty by a French court of possessing stolen works by Picasso. On the March 1st 2018 the Court of Cassation invalidated the judgment.

text:
# Marlborough Street, Dublin

**Marlborough Street** (Irish: *Sráid Mhaoilbhríde*) is a street in the city centre of Dublin, Ireland.

## Naming

The street was named Great Marlborough Street after the 1st Duke of Marlborough, known for his victory at the Battle of Blenheim during the 18th century. In the late 19th century it was for a time called Tyrone Street after Tyrone House. The lower part of the street was at different times called Union Lane, Ferryboat Lane, and Union Street.

## Buildings

Among the earliest buildings on the street is the 18th-century Tyrone House, the grounds of which now house the Department of Education.

One of the principal buildings on this street is St Mary's Pro-Cathedral, designed by John Sweetman, and completed in 1825.

There is also what used to be a depot belonging to the Dublin United Tramways Company. Dublin Bus now use the premises.

Towards the junction with Parnell Street, there is the 1970s 8-storey office block, Telephone House designed by Brian Hogan. 13 tenement buildings with shops were demolished to make way for the development. Far higher than most of the neighbouring buildings, it has been largely seen as having a negative impact on the streetscape, including on the vista down North Great George's Street.

Marlborough Street was the location of the original St. Thomas’s Church which was damaged in 1922.

## Luas

Marlborough Luas stop on the street is on the Green Line. Construction started in June 2013, with services beginning on 9 December 2017. Being near the Red line Abbey street stop, it is a key interchange point on the two Luas lines.

# You and Tequila

"**You and Tequila**" is a song written by Matraca Berg and Deana Carter, and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Chesney. It was released in May 2011 as the fourth single from his album *Hemingway's Whiskey* (2010). Chesney's version of the song features a guest vocal from Grace Potter, lead singer of Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. On November 30, the song received two nominations in 54th Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/Group Performance. A live version of the song appears on Chesney's 2012 album *Welcome to the Fishbowl*.

## Background and writing

Deana Carter and Matraca Berg co-wrote the song, and both recorded their own versions: Carter on her album *I'm Just a Girl* (2003), and Berg on her 2011 album *The Dreaming Fields*.

Carter told Taste of Country that Berg was inspired to write the song after having been out on the town. According to Carter, the two began talking about relationships, when Carter said, "Yeah, it's just like men… they get in your blood!" Also, Carter added several references to California, because she was living there at the time.

Chesney first heard the song when he and Carter toured together back in 2003. He said that he identified with it more after he rented a house in Malibu, California. Chesney said that he chose to record the song because it reminded him of driving the Pacific Coast Highway. He also told National Public Radio host David Green that "there are some commonalities about getting someone out of your mind and drinking and trying to quit."

## Song information

Chesney and Potter's version of the song is set in the key of G major with a vocal range from G3 to E5. The main chord pattern is G5-G/B-Bsus2-G5.

## Critical reception

Chesney's version of the song has received positive reviews from music critics. Chris Talbott of the Associated Press called it a "melancholy love-hate song", and an uncredited review in HitFix called the song "exquisite" and one of Chesney's "career high notes". Bobby Peacock of Roughstock rated the song four-and-a-half stars out of five, praising Chesney's and Potter's vocals and the "understated simplicity" of the lyrics. Bill Friskics-Warren of *The Washington Post* thought that the song had an Americana influence and made the album Chesney's "most stylistically wide-ranging to date."

## Music video

Potter appears in the song's music video, which was filmed in Malibu, California and directed by Shaun Silva.

# Ian Adams

**Ian Adams** (July 22, 1937 — November 7, 2021) was a Canadian author of fiction and non-fiction novels, television, and movies. Originally a journalist, he is now best known for his writing: his most successful novels are *S – Portrait of a Spy* and *Agent of Influence*.

## Childhood

Ian Adams was born in what is now Tanzania to a Lillian and Richard Adams, Irish lay missionaries administering a medical clinic in the former Belgian Congo. According to family lore, a pregnant Lillian singlehandedly canoed across a narrow stretch of Lake Tanganyika so that Adams would be born in what was then the British colony of Tanganyika rather than in the Belgian colony his parents were working in. He grew up in Central and East Africa. During World War II, both of Adams's parents joined the British Army, his mother as an ambulance driver and his father as an engineer, while three-year old Ian was sent to boarding school. Adams resented his parents for abandoning him at a young age and while the entire family moved to North America, Adams did so separately as a teenager and lived on his own in Winnipeg where he attended the University of Manitoba, studying fine arts.

## Career

### Journalism

Though an accomplished painter, Adams pursued a career initially as a photojournalist and reporter. As an award-winning investigative journalist, he worked for five years at *Maclean's*, Canada's national news magazine, covering many national stories including "The Lonely Death of Charlie Wenjack" (Volume 80, February 1967), reprinted under the title "Why did Charlie Wenjack Die?" in *The Poverty Wall* in 1970.

Chanie "Charlie" Wenjack was an Indigenous First Nations child who ran away from a residential school in northern Ontario in an attempt to reach his father, 650 kilometres away. The child was found beside a CNR track, poorly dressed and dead of hunger and cold. In the *Maclean's* article, Adams wrote: "Under the heading The Lonely Death of Charlie Wenjack, he wrote, “It’s not so unusual that Indian children run away from the residential schools they are sent to. They do it all the time, and they lose their fingers and toes to frostbite. Sometimes they lose a leg or an arm trying to climb aboard freight trains. Occasionally, one of them dies. And perhaps because they are Indians, no one seems to care very much. So this, then, is the story of how a little boy met a terrible and lonely death, of the handful of people who became involved, and of a town that hardly noticed.”

The story resulted in a series of complaints to the magazine by readers, including the CEO of the magazine's publisher, Maclean-Hunter, who wrote Adams telling him he didn't think that sort of writing belonged in the magazine. Adams quit the publication and pursued a freelance career. In September 2012 Adams was interviewed about the Charlie Wenjack story as part of the CBC documentary "Dying For An Education". Gord Downie, lead singer of the Canadian band The Tragically Hip, cited Adams' Maclean's article as the source for his 2016 multimedia work, "Secret Path".

Adams' international stories included coverage of the Vietnam War and the coup d'état that overthrew Allende in Chile, for publications such as the *Globe and Mail*.

### Literature

During the 1970s and 1980s Adams lived, worked and traveled extensively in South and Central America, mostly covering the so-called "dirty wars". From this period came the novel *Becoming Tania* (published by McClelland and Stewart), the love story of Che Guevara and his compañera Tania who was killed with Che in the Bolivian jungle. Adams' screenplay adaptation, *Tango Duro*, was nominated in 2005 for the Writers Guild of Canada's Best Unproduced Screenplay: the Jim Burt Prize.

His 1977 novel, *S – Portrait of a Spy*, led to a libel suit in which a former RCMP Security Service officer Leslie James Bennett claimed the central character, a Soviet mole who penetrated the RCMP, was modelled after him. The publisher stopped distribution of the book despite the fact that 12,000 copies had already been sold and a deal to turn the book into a movie was cancelled as a result. The case was settled out of court with Adams paying Bennett $30,000 and agreeing to add a disclaimer to the book. The novel was adapted into a play, in 1984 by Adams and Rick Salutin.

#### Film adaptations

Ian Adams and his writing partner and son, Riley Adams, have turned several of his seven published novels into movies. *S – Portrait of a Spy*, was scheduled for production as a feature film (by Alberta Filmworks) in the spring of 2006.

The Adams team with Riley as the lead writer has also written the original screenplays for two of the seven MOWs in this fall's CTV lineup. *Hunt for Justice*, (GalaFilms) starring William Hurt, John Corbett, and Wendy Crewson; the second original screen play, *The Clark Todd Story*, (ImagiNation Films and Box Films, UK) was scheduled for filming to begin early in 2006.

His 1999 novel, *Agent of Influence*, based on the true story of Canadian diplomat John Watkins who died while under Royal Canadian Mounted Police interrogation, was adapted by the Adams team, and aired on the national CTV network in 2003–2004. Produced by Alberta FilmWorks and Gala Films, *Agent of Influence* starred Christopher Plummer. The film has been sold by Alliance-Atlantis to TV networks in 132 countries, and in 2003 was recognized by the European Screenplay Writers' association as the best foreign television screenplay.

The Adams partnership created the screenplay for the full-length feature, *Bad Faith*, adapted from Ian Adams' novel of the same title and filmed in Calgary and Montreal during March 2000 by Alberta FilmWorks  is now distributed worldwide by Oasis under the title, *Cold Blooded*.

Ian Adams has also written many hours of produced television for Canadian and U.S. shows.

# Melville, New York

**Melville** is an affluent hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of Huntington in Suffolk County, on Long Island, in New York, United States. The population was 19,284 at the time of the 2020 census.

## History

The area was known to the Native Americans as *Sunsquams*. In the 17th century, it was named Samuel Ketcham's Valley, and it was later known as Sweet Hollow.

### 19th century

In 1854, it was renamed Melville in honor of American novelist Herman Melville, author of *Moby-Dick*, which was published three years earlier, in 1851. Melville's 1846 novel *Typee* also was very popular at that time.

A Presbyterian church was built in Melville in 1829 at the corner of Old Country and Sweet Hollow Roads.

### 20th century

In 1977, the Presbyterian church was moved 1 mile (1.6 km) to the west. The church was in continuous use until 1930. It reopened in 1944 for the funeral of Edward Baylis and has been in use since then.

In 1909, a trolley line to Huntington was established as an extension of the Huntington Trolley Spur that went south to Amityville and had a connection to Babylon. There were six fare zones, one of which was the Duryea Farm in Melville. A decade later, the line was closed after farmers complained that noise from the trolley frightened their animals. Buses then provided local transportation after the trolley line closed. The growing use of private cars later further reduced demand for the trolley line.

In the 1950s, Melville and three of its neighbors, Dix Hills, Wyandanch, and the area known as Sweet Hollow, proposed incorporating as a single village. The village would have been known as the Incorporated Village of Half Hollow Hills, would have had an area of roughly 50 square miles (130 km2), and would have embraced the Half Hollow Hills Central School District. The plans were unsuccessful.

### 21st century

In 2001, Melville, Dix Hills, Wheatley Heights, and East Farmingdale, which are all within the same school district, proposed incorporating as a single village. These plans also failed, and each remain unincorporated hamlets to this day.

## Geography

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Melville has a total area of 12.1 square miles (31.3 km2).

Melville lies on the east side of Suffolk County's boundary with Nassau County.

The median house price in Melville as of 2007 is about $900,000.

## Economy

Melville and Hauppauge are the two primary business centers of Suffolk County, which is home to almost approximately 1.5 million people. Melville is home to the U.S. headquarters for several national and international corporations, including Canon USA, Chyron Corporation, Leviton, MSC Industrial Direct, Nikon USA, the medical and dental supply distributor Henry Schein, Bouchard Transportation, and Verint Systems. Significant operations of Manhattan-based The Estée Lauder Companies are also based in Melville.

In early 2013, Canon Inc. moved into its new regional headquarters for North and South America to Melville, building a $500-million 668,296-square-foot (62,086.7 m2) glass structure near Exit 49 of the Long Island Expressway on the 52-acre (210,000 m2) site of a former pumpkin farm. About 1,500 workers were expected to move from Canon's Lake Success offices. The company chose Melville over other tri-state area locations because the employees "didn't want to leave the area".

Companies once headquartered in Melville that subsequently relocated include OSI Pharmaceuticals, which was bought by Astellas Pharma of Japan, Allion Healthcare, which was acquired by a private equity firm, Hain Celestial, which moved to Lake Success in Nassau County, Arrow Electronics, which relocated to Centennial, Colorado in 2011, global staffing giant Adecco Staffing, USA, which in 2014 moved their U.S. headquarters to Jacksonville, Florida, and Gentiva Health Services, a Fortune 1000 provider of health services, which relocated to Atlanta in 2006.

Other firms to leave include First Data, Olympus America Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Olympus Corporation, who moved in 2006 to Center Valley, Pennsylvania, and the national pizza chain Sbarro, which declared bankruptcy and reemerged in 2014, relocating to Columbus, Ohio. Around 2002, Swiss International Air Lines's North American headquarters moved from Melville to Uniondale. The facility, the former Swissair North American headquarter site, was completed in 1995. Swissair intended to own, instead of lease, its headquarters site. It enlisted architect Richard Meier to design its Melville facility. The building is now owned by Damianos Realty Group, LLC, a Long Island-based real estate company.

## Government

One of the nine state offices of U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer is located in Melville.

## Education

Half Hollow Hills Central School District and South Huntington Union Free School District serve Melville. Katharine Gibbs School – Melville serves the post-school population with certificates and associate degrees.

### Media

The primary Long Island newspaper *Newsday* is published in Melville.

The independent television station WLNY-TV operates a studio in Melville, where it had been based prior to being acquired by CBS and moving to the network's Manhattan facility.

## Infrastructure

### Transportation

#### Road

The Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway, two of Long Island's busiest highways and major points of entry in and out of New York City, pass through Melville. NY Route 110 also runs through Melville.

#### Rail

Until 1927, Melville was served by the Huntington Railroad's streetcar line, which ran along what today is NY Route 110 and has now been replaced by the S1 bus. The closest rail line is the LIRR's Main Line to Ronkonkoma and Greenport, but the closest station on that line is Pinelawn, which only provides weekend service. Huntington station in Huntington is the closest full service station.

#### Bus

Melville's primary mode of public transit is the 1 bus run by Suffolk County Transit. Route 1 runs up and down Route 110 seven days a week and connects to two Long Island Railroad branches north and south of Melville. The "Suffolk Clipper" express bus service also serves the numerous business parks in South Melville during weekdays.

A park and ride and carpool parking lot with a bus shelter exists adjacent to the north of the LIE, but long-distance bus service to and from there is either highly occasional or nonexistent. The parking lot is still used by carpool commuters, but also attracts some illicit activity.

### Fire protection

Melville is protected by the Melville Volunteer Fire Department. Established in 1947, it handles all emergencies, including fires, heavy rescues and extrications, emergency ambulances, hazmat, and other related tasks. The fire department responds to more than 3,500 alarms annually and provides continuous service on an annual budget of $1.5 million.

# Vauxhall 14-6

The **Vauxhall 14-6** is an automobile produced by Vauxhall in England from 1939 until 1948.

Announced in October 1938 for the 1938 British International Motor Show at Earls Court, the 14-6 was offered as a six-light, four door saloon and was powered by a four bearing, OHV, 1,781cc Straight-six engine. It had a top speed of 70 mph and could accelerate from 0-50 mph in 18.2 seconds.

## Engine, transmission and suspension

The previous engine was retained but with compression ratio raised from 6.25 to 6.75:1 and revised timing increasing the output to 48 bhp at 3000rpm. Other features included independent front suspension using torsion bars in place of the previous Dubonnet system with semi-elliptic leaf springs at the rear, Lockheed hydraulic brakes and a three-speed all-synchromesh gearbox in place of the four-speed "silent third" gearbox.

## Unitary chassis-body

The car now had a unitary hull which had a 4 in (100 mm) longer wheelbase and 1 in (25 mm) wider track than its predecessor which made it larger than the 12-4 model announced at the same time. Previously the 12 and 14 hp models had shared the same body. Interior features included individual leather front seats and a rear seat with fold-down arm rest, a rear window blind and a sliding sunroof.

Post World War II models can be distinguished by bonnet-louvre and grille changes. A total of 45,499 were produced, including 30,511 in the post war period.

## Australian production

A Vauxhall 14 J was built by Holden in Australia without unitary construction which was beyond the capacity of local presses but sharing much of the English car's styling. The separate chassis allowed the Australian firm to provide open and utility bodies. Commencing in 1939, the 14 was offered in sedan, coupé and roadster body-styles. and as in England but in a Holden version, a light utility.

A 14 sedan was the first civilian car to be produced by Holden in the post war period, leaving the Fishermans Bend assembly line on 21 May 1946.

# Oneida (1841 ship)

The wooden sailing ship ***Oneida*** was a merchant vessel built for the New York to Le Havre, France packet trade. It was owned by John J. Boyd and Edward Hincken, and it operated on the Havre Second Line.

The Havre Second Line was organized in January 1823 at New York City with four ships. It operated until 1869. The packet trade was characterized by an established line between two ports, regular sailing on a specified day and month, and ships operating exclusively in the service. The *Oneida* served on the Havre Second Line from 1841 until the end of 1849.

## Construction

Merchant ships engaged in the transatlantic packet trade were a distinct category of vessel. According to William A. Fairburn, the turbulent North Atlantic Ocean required sturdiness, fullness, and seaworthiness. The ships were equipped with three masts, all supporting square-riggings. These vessels tended to be wider with more buoyant ends than other types of ships. They were built wider (i.e., a larger beam) to give them greater sturdiness in the furious waters. The strong winds from the west (westerly gales) necessitated conservative spar and sail plans suitable for the conditions usually encountered in the North Atlantic Ocean.

The *Oneida* was built at the Bergh-Westervelt shipyard in New York City in 1841. Christian Bergh and Jacob Westervelt were two of New York's most important early shipbuilders and they built most of the Havre Second Line packets. Jacob Westervelt supervised the construction of the *Oneida*. It was 154 feet (47 m) long and 34 feet (10 m) wide, fully masted with square sails, and could carry 791 tons of cargo.

## The *Oneida* and sister ships

In 1840 the ships of the Havre Second Line were the *Charles Carroll*, *Erie*, *Utica*, and *Baltimore*. The following year, the first two vessels were retired and the *St. Nicholas* and *Oneida* were added as their replacements.

| *Oneida* | 1841 | 791 | 154'5" | 34'0" | 22'3" |

## Packet service

The ships of the Havre Second Line each made three round trips per year between New York and Le Havre. The *Oneida* was scheduled to embark from New York on March 1, July 1, and November 1, and from Le Havre on April 16, August 16, and December 16. This schedule provided about 45 days to complete the eastbound passage plus time at the Port of Havre. Typically, the eastbound leg could be completed in 25–28 days giving the vessel 17–20 days at the foreign port. To complete the westbound passage, the schedule provided about 77 days. The *Oneida* averaged 39 days for the home bound voyage, giving the vessel a bit more than five weeks at its home port.

**Westbound Passage (days)**

| Name | Average | Shortest | Longest |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| *Utica* | 40 | 35 | 59 |
| *Baltimore* | 39 | 22 | 78 |
| *St Nicholas* | 38 | 23 | 63 |
| *Oneida* | 39 | 28 | 59 |

## Westbound passages of the *Oneida*

The following table shows the *Oneida's* dates of departure from the Port of Havre, its dates of arrival at the Port of New York, and its master or captain for the voyage. The number of sailing days is the difference between the departure date and arrival date. The date stated on the ship's passenger list is the date used for arrival. The table also shows the number of passengers for each voyage. The number of steerage passengers and cabin passengers is shown for voyages where the passenger list identified the two passenger classes. The June 3 to July 14, 1848 voyage was made from Liverpool, England.

## Wreck of the *Oneida*

The *Oneida* sailed from New York City on the December 1, 1849 "with a crew of twenty men and twenty passengers." On December 19, 1849, at about 3 a.m., the ship struck rocks about two miles northwest of the island of Guernsey in the English Channel. According to the *Guernsey Star*, after an unsuccessful attempt to free the ship, it "was driven on to the rocks on the southern extremity of La Perrelle Bay, where she remained fixed." The rudder was damaged and the mainmast sprung. After the sun rose and the tide fell, "the whole of the passengers and crew, with their personal effects, were subsequently brought, without any accident, to shore."

The account from the *Guernsey Star* included a description of the ship's cargo and a plan to salvage it before the ship broke apart. "The wreck of the Oneida consists of 1,950 bales of cotton, and a large quantity of provisions, tallow, and ashes, making in the whole nearly 1,000 tons. … A strong force of men, boats, carts and horses is being employed to bring the cargo to land.… The ship, it is believed will become a total wreck, but it is hoped that the materials may be saved."

Five days after the wreck, on December 25, 1849, the *London Shipping Gazette* updated its readers on the efforts to salvage the ship's cargo. About half the cargo had been brought to land, and the newspaper was optimistic that the whole cargo would be saved. It was also reported that the mainmast and the foremast, with all their sails and rigging, were salvaged. The ship, however, would "probably go to pieces."

title: Pilgrim Presbyterian Church

abstract: Pilgrim Presbyterian Church is a historic church building in the Mount Adams neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, near the Ida Street Viaduct. Built in 1886, it is a Gothic Revival structure built primarily of brick. Constructed by Mount Adams architect and builder Charles E. Iliff, the church features a two-story rectangular floor plan with a prominent central bell tower. Among its other distinctive architectural elements are the rose windows in the main gable, pairs of windows on its second floor, and the symmetry evidenced in the overall design of the building. Although Cincinnati was largely Presbyterian in its early history, Mount Adams was originally a strongly Catholic community; Pilgrim Presbyterian was the first Protestant church of any denomination to be founded in that neighborhood. Today, the congregation is no longer in existence: the building is now owned by Pilgrim Chapel United Church of Christ, and its name is absent from the roster of the Cincinnati Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church. In 1980, the former Pilgrim Presbyterian Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It qualified for inclusion on the Register both because of its distinctive historic architecture and because of its place in local history.

# Seizure response dog

A **seizure response dog** (**SRD**) (also known as **seizure dog**) is a dog demonstrating specific assisting behaviour during or immediately after a person's epileptic seizure or other seizure. When reliably trained such dogs can serve as service dogs for people with epilepsy.

## Tasks

Tasks for seizure dogs may include, but are not limited to:

* Find someone to help
* Activate an emergency response system
* Stimulate a person to help them "wake up" after a seizure
* Use body weight to keep the person in a specific position
* Act as a brace to help the person up
* Retrieve a phone or medication
* Physically remove the patient from an unsafe situation (e.g., the middle of a street)

### Seizure alert dog

A dog demonstrating specific behaviour *prior* to a person's epileptic seizure is also referred to as *seizure alert dog* (SAD). Reports suggest that some dogs can be trained to anticipate epileptic seizures. However, this ability has been questioned.

Seizure response and seizure alerting behaviour may spontaneously develop in dogs living with children and adults with epilepsy.

title: Vauxhall 10-4

abstract: The Vauxhall 10-4 is a British-built small family car produced by Vauxhall between 1937 and 1947. It was launched at the October 1937 London Motor Show and was the first British car to have a unitary construction body. The first car was delivered to a customer on 1 November 1937. A structural innovation, following the pattern set in 1935 by GM's German subsidiary, was the Ten's integral (chassisless) construction. According to Maurice Platt, who transferred from technical journalism to a career with Vauxhall in 1937, the Vauxhall Ten became known within the company as the million-pound car, which reflected the extent of the company's investment in tooling up for the new model. 1933 was the first year all GM vehicles were installed with optional vent windows which were initially called “No Draft Individually Controlled Ventilation” later renamed "Ventiplanes" which the patent application was filed on Nov. 28, 1932. It was assigned to the Ternstedt Manufacturing Company, a GM subsidiary that manufactured components for Fisher Body. As production began, the war intervened, and Vauxhall’s Luton plant switched to truck and tank production and the Vauxhall 10 was unavailable after 1940. In 1938 and 1939 a two-door coupé version was also available, although it was built on a separate chassis as the smaller production numbers did not justify the tooling costs of a monocoque version. The 10 Coupé sat on a shortened and otherwise modified version of the earlier DX-series chassis. This meant that the more expensive coupé was heavier than the saloon and no faster, limiting its appeal although it fared better in some export markets. 55,000 Vauxhall 10-Fours were built until May 1940, when production was halted due to World War II. The model was re-introduced in 1946 with the same 1203 cc ohv engine as before, albeit with a reduction in claimed power output. The post war Vauxhall 10 was little changed in other respects. However, with British consumers cash-strapped, and the market for small family cars of prewar design closely contested, Vauxhall withdrew their 10 in 1947. From then until the introduction of the Vauxhall Viva in 1963, the company concentrated on larger and presumably more lucrative models. The name of the car referred to its fiscal horsepower, which at this time defined the class in which it was to compete against cars such as the Morris 10, the Standard Ten and the Ford 10. The Vauxhall 10’s advertised horsepower in 1937 was 34 bhp (25 kW). The 10-4 was designated by Vauxhall as the H Type, with the post-war model coded HIY. A bored out 12HP model was also built, called the 12-4. A light commercial model was also developed and sold as the Bedford HC. This has the same engine as the passenger model, and a 672 lb (305 kg) payload.

## Australia

A 10-4 look-alike marketed as the Vauxhall Wyvern was built in Australia by General Motors-Holden's. The company did not have the presses needed for monocoque construction and put a 10-4 front end and mechanicals on their own chassis under their own body.

## Indonesia

General Motors Java also built the 10-4, beginning in 1939, and exported cars across Southeast Asia.

## Summary

The book collects most of the extant tales about the youth of the author's sword and sorcery hero Thongor of Valkarth. Carter had planned to gather these and other Thongor tales he never lived to write into two projected collections, to be titled *Thongor of Lost Lemuria* and *Thongor in the Land of Peril*. Additional Thongor stories written after Carter's death by his literary executor Robert Price were combined with the existing tales to fill out the existing book, though it omits at least one Price Thongor story, "Witch-Queen of Lemuria."

title: WCRT (AM)

abstract: WCRT is a Class B AM radio station licensed to the community of Donelson, Tennessee, near Nashville. Broadcasting a format of evangelical preaching and talk shows, WCRT is owned by Bott Communications, a Christian broadcaster, which bought the station, formerly WAMB, from longtime Nashville broadcaster Bill Barry. WCRT broadcasts with 50,000 watts during the day and 1,000 watts at night. Because the 1160 kHz frequency receives interference from a Cuban radio station operating in excess of the officially notified power under international treaties, WCRT maintained a special temporary authority since 1990 from the Federal Communications Commission to operate an FM station at night as well. This station had the call sign WCRT-FM1 and, from 1998 on, operated from one of the WCRT (AM) towers. The last frequency for WCRT-FM1 is 106.3 MHz, the fourth frequency on which it operated since being authorized; the station was required to cease operations when a license was issued for a low-power station on the frequency, WXNS-LP. It has since been replaced by a normal translator, W296DE. 1160 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency, on which KSL in Salt Lake City is the dominant Class A station. WCRT must reduce power during nighttime hours in order to protect the skywave signals of KSL (AM) and WYLL in Chicago, both fulltime 50,000 watts signals. WYLL is a Class B station.

**WCRT** (1160 kHz) is a Class B AM radio station licensed to the community of Donelson, Tennessee, near Nashville. Broadcasting a format of evangelical preaching and talk shows, WCRT is owned by Bott Communications, a Christian broadcaster, which bought the station, formerly WAMB, from longtime Nashville broadcaster Bill Barry (now deceased; he later operated a lower-powered WAMB on the frequency of 1200 kHz).

WCRT broadcasts with 50,000 watts during the day and 1,000 watts at night. Because the 1160 kHz frequency receives interference from a Cuban radio station operating in excess of the officially notified power under international treaties, WCRT maintained a special temporary authority since 1990 from the Federal Communications Commission to operate an FM station at night as well. This station had the call sign WCRT-FM1 and, from 1998 on, operated from one of the WCRT (AM) towers. The last frequency for WCRT-FM1 is 106.3 MHz, the fourth frequency on which it operated since being authorized; the station was required to cease operations when a license was issued for a low-power station on the frequency, WXNS-LP. It has since been replaced by a normal translator, W296DE (107.1 FM).

1160 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency, on which KSL in Salt Lake City is the dominant Class A station. WCRT must reduce power during nighttime hours in order to protect the skywave signals of KSL (AM) and WYLL in Chicago, both fulltime 50,000 watts signals. WYLL is a Class B station.

# Pierre Lacau

**Pierre Lacau** (25 November 1873  26 March 1963) was a French Egyptologist and philologist. He served as Egypt's director of antiquities from 1914 until 1936, and oversaw the 1922 discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings by Howard Carter.

## Early life

Pierre Lacau was born in the French commune of Brie-Comte-Robert. He was raised and educated as a Jesuit.

## Career

Lacau's first appointment in Cairo was to the International Commission for drafting the general catalogue of the Museum of Cairo.

In 1912 he was appointed director of the French Institute of Eastern Archaeology, succeeding Émile Chassinat, whose work he continued by excavating new structures within Abu Rawash, the funerary complex of Djedefre to the east of the pyramids of Giza.

From 1914 to 1936 he served as director general of the Department of Antiquities of Egypt. He was appointed in 1914 to succeed Gaston Maspero but could not take up the position until after World War I. He immediately announced that excavation concessions would be limited to representatives of public institutions and societies. He then reinterpreted the law covering division of finds so that the Egyptian National Museum could take all unique finds and give the excavator all the rest.

Lacau oversaw the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922 by the English archaeologists Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon in the Valley of the Kings. Relations with Carter were rarely cordial and were exacerbated by both the monopoly of publication rights which Lord Carnarvon sold to *The Times*, and pressure from the Egyptian government who resented the lack of Egyptian involvement in the Tutankhamen excavation.

In 1924 Lacau, acting under the orders of the new Minister of Public Works, forbade the wives of Howard Carter's team to enter the tomb. Carter closed the tomb in protest, locked it, refused to hand over the keys, and posted an explanatory notice in the Old Winter Palace Hotel, Luxor, thus breaking the terms of his license and relinquishing full control to Lacau.

In 1938 Lacau was appointed professor at the Collège de France in Paris, where he held the chair in Egyptology until 1947; he was elected to the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres in 1939.

Lacau was portrayed by Valentine Pelka in the 2005 BBC docudrama *Egypt*, and Nicolas Beaucaire in the 2016 ITV drama *Tutankhamun*.

title: Geoffrey Howard (cricketer)

abstract: Cecil Geoffrey Howard was an English cricketer and cricket administrator. Geoffrey Howard was born in Hampstead Garden Suburb, a grandson of Sir Ebenezer Howard, a founder of the Garden City Movement, who taught him a respect for people and a love for cricket. He was educated at the University College School. He is related to the dancer and television actress Una Stubbs, his niece, and her son the television and film score composer Christian Henson. As a right-handed batsman and a wicket-keeper, he represented Middlesex in three first-class matches in 1930, whilst on annual leave from the bank for which he worked. He played for the Private Banks XI from 1926 to 1936 and for the RAF during the Second World War, when he once made a century before lunch. Howard was an enlightened administrator and a popular tour manager. He was Secretary of Lancashire and Surrey and managed three Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) touring teams in Australia and the Indian sub-continent. The English cricket team in Australia in 1954–55 of Australia was the focal point of his rich and varied life, with England winning a series in Australia for the first time since Bodyline in 1932–33. The English cricket team in Pakistan in 1955–56 was marred by an incident, when several of the England cricketers doused the umpire Idris Baig with a bucket of water and as a result a major controversy broke out. The background included Baig telling Howard, "You must understand … that a lot of the crowd come to watch me umpire", and that same day reportedly giving three dubious LBWs against England, and turning down a certain one of their own. It took a sincere apology by MCC president, Field Marshal Alexander of Tunis to his former military colleague and counterpart at the Pakistani board, Iskander Mirza, to prevent the tour being called off. Howard stayed active in retirement and was President of Surrey in 1989. He collaborated with the author Stephen Chalke on the award-winning book At the Heart of English Cricket in 2001, which won the Cricket Society Jubilee Prize in 2002. He died in Minchinhampton, aged 93.

# Marlow Ferry

**Marlow Ferry**, located in Baldwin County, Alabama, United States, is the former site of a ferry which crossed Fish River. It is also the location of two important events from the American Civil War and the War of 1812.

## War of 1812

In 1815, United States General Andrew Jackson camped at Marlow Ferry and foraged for food while preparing his troops to travel westward and defend New Orleans against British attack. The troops encamped at Marlow Ferry also defended Pensacola and Fort Bowyer, which came to be known as Fort Morgan.

## American Civil War

In 1865, Union troops sailed from Dauphin Island, Alabama to Marlow Ferry and then marched on to link up with other Union troops. The combined forces, the Union XIII and XVI, marched north and attacked Confederate troops defending Spanish Fort, Alabama and Fort Blakeley. Union troops constructed a pontoon bridge to cross the river.

## Present day

The ferry no longer operates but the landing is now part of the Baldwin County Parks System. Military re-enactors demonstrate period uniforms, equipment and life during weekend re-enactments.
